Another World, Another Fight (An Azur Lane Story)

Chapter 3

Test of Leadership.

3RD PERSON POV.

Aaron opened the door to find himself staring at another blonde woman, her hair was short barely passed her chin, with a braid situated on top held by a blue ribbon, her red eyes staring daggers into him, She wore a red and white jacket with gold details, a short black skirt, a red side capelet, white thigh-highs, gloves, shoes and an officer's sword sheathed on her right side. Her pose befitting that of a Royal Knight.

"Afternoon, Prince of Wales if I'm not mistaken?" He asked.

"Afternoon Admiral. Have you by any chance seen Hood? She went after you, after what had happened." She asked, He placed a finger to his lips indicating to her to keep quiet, and gestured for her to look inside.

"She came to have a word with me about what had happened, asked me a few things, one wrong question and explanation came from my mouth, the next thing I knew, I was comforting her due to me bringing up less than pleasant memories, she must've cried herself to sleep." He whispered, as the battleship looked inside to find the sleeping battlecruiser.

"Before you say anything, I did not do anything inappropriate to her." he added already foreseeing the incoming question.

"Anyways, that all on your agenda with me?" Aaron asked, she shook her head.

"Her Majesty has asked for you to follow me to the command unit of the base to get you registered." She explained, just then both heard a yawn and turned to find Hood waking up.

"I see that your nap was comfortable was it Hood?~" Wales asked, causing the blue clad kansen to get slightly flustered, before she could come up with a reply and the battleship to make another remark Aaron spoke.

"Well, we can't keep her majesty waiting." The pair went silent, agreeing with him, but not before Hood gave the red eyed blonde a look that said 'Keep quiet will you or else I'll tell George about 'it'.'

'Don't you dare!' thought the younger ship.

The three soon walked out of the office, with the kansen duo leading the way. He observed how close they were. 'It kinda makes sense that they are close, likely as a result of that battle.' They were soon met by both Warspite and Queen Elizabeth standing in front of a metal door, with multiple security measures.

"Your Majesty." All three bowed.

"At ease, Servant it appears that you have cooled off, now about your inquiry awhile ago. This is where you will lead from." She said, removing her right glove, and placing her hand on a hand scanner.

"Recognized: Queen Elizabeth." a voice sounded. 'Artificial Intelligence.' Soon the sounds of multiple locks releasing can be heard, the petite monarch soon replaced her glove after removing it, as a pair of mechanical limbs appeared on either side of the scanner; one had a spray bottle attached to it, whilst the other a small squeegee. The scanner was sprayed, then the squeegee arm wiped it precision, before a third limb appeared, and pressed a piece of fabric on it, after that the limbs retracted back towards the hatches they came out of. 'I see, after someone scans their hand, it is immediately sanitized since this is one of the rare moments she removes her glove. No one can get her hand print from the scanner or her as she's likely accompanied by Warspite all the time. The security system is very impressive and very much impenetrable, well outside of possibly hacking.'

The door soon slid open to reveal a decently sized room with a multitude of large screens, and a singular large table.

"This is Liverpool Command in Control Facility; Where if we are to conduct large scale operations, you'll lead us until you get experience, time to get you linked in temporarily for now." She explained, walking towards the center set of screens, repeated the procedure she conducted for the door, but then she began to fiddle around with the keys on the console. She then gestured for him to approach her.
