A experimental Cruiser/submarine gone rouge. Alicorn, a sub built with the help of the four main factions. But one day she goes rouge and was not heard from for two years, till one day she suddenly turns up at a port.
(Ships will die within this ser...
Dark clouds hang over Azur Lane as no light seems to break through them. Alicorn stands on the end of her sub, in port, and she watches a large fleet of HO ships and Azured Girls sail back in. Fire and smoke cloud the skies from the ships as they limp into port.
A soft breeze blows in, causing part of Alicorn's coat to flap back. Her yellow eyes start at the fleet that docks into port as medical personal run onto the ships.
'It's only been 17 days since the war started, and morality is already at the lowest it can be.' Alicorn fidgets slightly. '17 long days... 17 bloody days. From what I was told the Sirens and Cordis Die struck swift and mercilessly. They took most of Norther Parliaments territory in the matter of a couple days, Then they surrounded Iron Blood and started to invade the Royal Navy. Causalities were high and land was lost at a massive rate. We've managed to keep them out of our waters so far, but... It feels like we're getting backed into a corner.'
Avis, Alicorn's robotic bird, swoops down and lands on her shoulder. She reaches a hand up and scratches his chin, he lets out a few robotic purrs.
'But then the Eagle Union caught word of the right hand man of Raul Menendez. DeFalco, a ruthless man, and the leader of Menendez's army. We received word he was in Basra, Iraq. So our President ordered Operation War Pig and we sent in 30,000 soldiers... Only for several hours later for them all to die in a nuclear strike... We don't know if DeFalco died in the attack, but we suspect he wasn't there.'
Alicorn watches as ship-girl head for the dorms or the infirmary. Texas, with her left arm in a sling and bandages wrapped around most of her head, limps towards the infirmary. Avis takes to the skies.
'50,000 allied soldiers, 1,000 tanks, 500 planes, 100 HO Ships... 15 Azured Ships... Have all been lost in the past 17 days... And I was asleep for 14 of those. I...' Alicorn grabs her shaking pale right hand. 'I could have prevented all this...'
Alicorn starts to shake, as she curls her hands into fists.
'I... All this is my fault...' Alicorn's eyes start to burn as tears start to well up. 'This is only happening because I'm still alive. Equus wants to see this world burn before she kill me... Why must all these humans die for my sake...'
Alicorn shakes her head and slaps her cheeks a couple times.
'Come on! Don't cry, you can't cry, it only shows weakness... You can't show everyone that the strongest ship is weak... That'll only lead for everyone getting scared.'
Suddenly a couple squads of planes fly over head and towards the airstrip.
'That must be them...' A smirk appears on Alicorn's face. 'Haven't fought with them in a while.'
Alicorn hops off her sub and starts walking towards the Airstrip.

Alicorn reaches the airbase where she sees planes scattered about being worked on. She peers into a warehouse and sees a group of soldiers working on some sort of drone.

'A drone?' Alicorn questions in thought. 'Are we working with Siren tech again?'
Alicorn keeps moving on and she spots a group of people walking towards her.
"Well, if it isn't the kid." Count says with a smirk.
Alicorn rolls her eyes. "Call me kid again Count, and you'll see why I'm called the Queen of the Skies."
Count just chuckles and pats Alicorn on the head. "Yeah, yeah."
Alicorn shoves Count's hand off her head and glares at him. Then she turns to Húxiān, Skeld, Lanza, Jaeger and Tailor. There's a new face she doesn't recognize. A female with Auburn hair and sharp green eyes.
Alicorn gives a small bow. "It's nice to see you all again."
"Only if it were under better circumstances." Jaeger says in a sad tone.
"Who thought that we'd all meet again in another war." Húxiān chuckles.
"I honestly should just retire after this war." Lanza rolls his shoulders.
"We'll just drag you back in for the next." Tailor jokes.
"Please don't."
Alicorn turns to the new face. "Hello Miss, I am Alicorn. But in the skies you can call me Trigger."
The new girl smiles. "My names Natalie, you can call me Flare in the air."
Alicorn nods and turns around. "You all must be tired, so let me lead you to the dorms so you can rest. Tomorrow is a big day."
