Azur Lane: The Sakura Eagle

Chapter 14: Falcon vs Fox

Sakura Empire Base
IJN Suchuwaato POV

I was happy to see the fleet from Midway returning home which  start to sob after I thought they were gone for good.

Suchuwaato(crying): "I thought you girls are dead after the light make you girls disappear."

Souryuu: "That's okay Suchuwaato and we're were worry about you as well since we can't find you, but we're glad that you're okay."

I notice that there are some depression as well and notice that Akagi is missing from the fleet.

Suchuwaato: "Where's Lady Akagi?"

Everyone wasn't say anything which means that we lost our flagship and I can't say anything because I wasn't there when they need me the most. I notice Kaga was under depression after losing her sister, but right now the main question is what to do with Orochi; however that's up to Lady Nagato to decide. I can see Shoukaku wounded so I offer some medical assistance for her which Zuikaku thank me for it.

Time Skip
Nagato's Shrine, Sakura Empire

After I finish patching up Shoukaku; I decide to head for Lady Nagato for my next mission, but it's more a guard duty which is protect the cave where Orochi is holding up.

Nagato: "I want you to guard the cave and make sure that no one enters the cave even Kaga. I'm going to cancel the project because Akagi is the only person in charge of Orochi, but without her. The project is worthless."

Suchuwaato: "Yes my Lady."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time Skip
Orochi's Cave Entrance

So that's my job is to make sure that no one enter this cave without permission from Lady Nagato, but of course that means I'm stuck in the forest with no one to talk to. I was shining my katana while have my falcon resting on the crates. I'm going to wait until Admiral Hipper arrive with a drink.

Hipper: "I feel like you need to drink since you stuck here with no one. Be grateful."

I thank her for the drink which I notice she start to blush before hiding it.

Hipper: "So what are you doing here?"

Suchuwaato: "Lady Nagato order Project Orochi to be cancel because without Akagi."

Hipper was question her little sister about what transpire within the Sakura Empire which is that the project was cancel and believe that something is happen to fast, but I think that everyone was sad that one of our flagship is gone so it's a little bit gloomy including Kaga which I hope she is doing alright. Hipper decide to head out to join with the rest of her fleet while was drinking some water. It was couple of hours later that I notice Kaga heading towards me.

Suchuwaato: "Hello Kaga, but you're not suppose to be here."

She didn't respond to my words so I decide to block her pathway, but she continue approaching me like she is in some trance. I was about to be ready if things gets ugly until I notice a Siren behind me which I was surprise to see.

???: "Sorry my little birdie, but I need her."

She grab me with her tentacles and thrown to the wall which almost broke my back. I can see Kaga enter the cave while I trigger the alarm which send the sound across the port, but they won't able to get ready in time so I decide to prevent her escape through the cave entrance at the coast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time Skip
Coast of Sakura Empire

I arrive at the coast to make sure that Kaga doesn't escape with the Sirens, but unknown to me that Orochi is coming out of the cave which I was shock to see; however I make sure that Orochi doesn't leave. I can see Kaga is out and she summon her planes which I use my AA guns to against Kaga.

Suchuwaato: "Sorry Lady Kaga, but your planes won't work on me."

I was about to win against Kaga, but unknown to me that I got shot by a laser which cause me to spew blood. Right on the chest; I look behind me to see a high ranking Siren named Tester fire her laser.

Tester: "Sorry, but we got things to do with her."

She almost miss my heart, but I was struggle to stand, but than I got hit by a bomb which it was send by Kaga..... Everything turn dark.

Meanwhile
Sakura Empire Port
Admiral Hipper POV 

We can see a giant ship leaving the cave after we hear a alarm going off, but we can see smoke coming from a destroyer ship that looks like a Eagle Union which means Suchuwaato is fighting against Kaga; we quickly get there to help him, but he's quickly start to sink into the water lines, but I was able to get him.

Hipper(worry): "Suchuwaato; don't you died on me."

I get him off the water, but his entire body was burnt by the explosion of the bomb and his feathers was burning so we try our best to put it out. Nagato arrive to see the commotion until she saw Suchuwaato burnt and wounded.

Nagato(angry): "Who did this?"

Takao: "It was Kaga; Lady Nagato. He did his best to stop her, but looks like she has help by the Sirens."

Nagato(angry): "Damn it; I should have known this would happen, but I didn't expect the Sirens are involved. Get Suchuwaato to the medical ward and I need a fleet to pursue Orochi. Iron Blood I request your support."

Prinz Eugen: "Of course; we're allies after all."

We both head out to find Orochi and put a end to this once and for all, but I turn around to see Suchuwaato heading to the medical ward with the rest of the Sakura Empire to take care of him. My idiot little sister notice me.

Prinz Eugen: "You're boyfriend will be fine."

Hipper(shock): "BOYFRIEND!"

I got fluster, but right now we got to deal with the Sirens and Kaga.
