(Remaster) The Ship of the Tempest

Case Closed(?)

"—and that leads us to now."

Z73 was once again standing in the Yamatos' shrine, staring at the rejuvenated Yamatos that assisted her in figuring out the dark secrets hiding on the Island. Shinano was looking down to the floor, seemingly lost in though, while Musashi was staring into Z73's eyes.

"You killed her...even when I asked you not too?"

"Musashi, if you go and see what they have done already, you'll see that my reaction was entirely justified.

Musashi could only sigh, the damage had been done, and she could do nothing about it now. Although, that left another issue in their hands, and that was on how to deal with Orochi.

...

Shinano looked to her elder sister, a gleam in her eyes. "Sister...we can use this to our advantage."

"Oh? How so Shinano?"

Shinano looked back to Z73. "Tell me...do you still have Akagi's cube?"

Z73 nodded and pulled out Akagi's wisdom cube, as well as Kaga's. "I took out both of them, but what's your idea for this anyways?"

"We use their cubes...and take their appearances to lure the Sirens...into a trap."

"Oh...I'm interested in this now." Z73 smirked, liking the brewing idea.

Musashi looked down to Shinano, a bit of worry in her eyes. "Are you sure this is a good idea? Many things are possible to go wrong with it."

"There are many holes...especially since we don't know how this technique works. However...we do have one hell of a Destroyer to aid us."

Shinano smiled at Z73, bowing her head lightly. "I beg of thee, Z73. Allow us this chance...to learn this technique and free our lands from the clutches...of the Sirens who dared exploit our weakest."

Musashi was a little hesitant of her sister bowing her head to someone, especially one that technically did them wrong, but even she couldn't fault the benefits of what her sister was planning. To take out the Sirens in their walls in one fell swoop...

Musashi sighed and bowed too. "Please. We both beg for your assistance, and when we are done, we will reward you accordingly."

Z73 looked to the two Kitsune, smiling behind her hand. "I was already on board since she proposed the idea. Both of you have done nothing but prove that you have your people's best interests in mind, and I respect that."

She tossed the two cubes to their feet. "Shinano, the one you got is Kaga's, she fits your laid back personality more. Musashi, you got Akagi, but that's mostly because she's not that good for Shinano to act as."

They picked up the cubes, looking them over. Musashi looked to Shinano, who was trying to replicate what Z73 does and push it in her chest...only squishing the cube between her breasts.

Z73 shook her head, amused at the scene. "Here, I'll coach you both on how to do it properly, and then we'll do this plan of yours." She locked the door behind her, and cleared her throat.

"Firstly, you have to—

A few hours have passed, and three pairs of footsteps entered the large cave that housed Orochi.  Soon, Z73 came into sight...chains behind her as Akagi and Kaga held those chains and led her along in cuffs.

There was a small bloodstain to the side, Z73 knowing why as she had to clean up the evidence prior to this, but she couldn't wipe it out. They went to the stairs to the side, going down from the balcony level to the floor below, soon standing in front of the massive ship Orochi.
