the phantom cat: the untold saga of the unbuilt battleship

Chapter 2

As IJN Fuji sailed across the vast oceans, guided by her determination to protect the world from the Siren threat, she found herself far from both Azur Lane and the Crimson Axis territories. She had embarked on a solo journey, driven by a personal mission to seek out hidden Siren bases and disrupt their operations wherever they lurked.

In these distant waters, the ocean whispered tales of forgotten battles, lost civilizations, and ancient mysteries. The horizon seemed endless, yet IJN Fuji knew that danger lurked beneath the tranquil surface. The Sirens could strike anywhere, and she remained vigilant, ever watchful for their presence.

One day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of gold and crimson, IJN Fuji detected faint distress signals on her radar. A transmission from a detached force of Azur Lane shipgirls caught in the clutches of a Siren ambush.

Without hesitation, IJN Fuji rushed to their aid, her heart pounding with a mix of worry and determination. As she approached, the scene unfolded before her—a group of Azur Lane shipgirls locked in battle with an overwhelming number of Sirens.

IJN Fuji wasted no time, her senses sharpening as she analysed the situation. She dove into the fray, her powerful salvos striking with unerring precision, drawing the attention of the Siren forces. The detached Azur Lane shipgirls, caught off guard by her sudden appearance, paused momentarily in their struggle.

"We're not alone in this fight," IJN Fuji called out, her voice carrying a reassuring tone. "Together, we can turn the tide."

The shipgirls, still wary of the unknown battleship, exchanged glances, but the urgency of the situation overrode their hesitation. They rallied behind IJN Fuji, their teamwork blending seamlessly with her strategic insights.

As the battle raged on, IJN Fuji noticed the Sirens employing advanced tactics, far beyond the usual patterns she had encountered. It was as if they had learned from their previous encounters and adapted their strategies accordingly.

"This is different from what I've seen before," IJN Fuji muttered to herself. "These Sirens are more organized and aggressive than ever."

One of the Azur Lane shipgirls, a destroyer named USS Laffey, chimed in, "They've been stepping up their game lately. It's like they're anticipating our every move."

IJN Fuji nodded, her mind racing. "They may be gathering intelligence on our tactics and using it against us. We need to find a way to disrupt their communication."

Together, the combined force of IJN Fuji and the Azur Lane shipgirls fought tirelessly, pushing back the Siren forces inch by inch. They maneuverer with precision and exploited weaknesses in the enemy's formation.

As the battle reached its peak, IJN Fuji spotted a powerful Siren vessel, emitting a pulsating glow that seemed to control the surrounding forces. This was the source of the heightened aggression and coordination among the Sirens.

"Focus your fire on that vessel," IJN Fuji called out to her allies. "It's their central intelligence."

The Azur Lane shipgirls followed her lead, unleashing a torrent of firepower at the Siren vessel. The air crackled with energy as the combined might of their attacks bombarded the central intelligence.

With a resounding explosion, the Siren vessel faltered, its control over the Siren forces diminishing. The tide of the battle turned, and the Sirens began to retreat, their coordinated assault disrupted.

The Azur Lane shipgirls looked at IJN Fuji in awe, realizing that her insight and strategic expertise had been the key to their victory. USS Laffey approached IJN Fuji, a newfound admiration in her eyes.
