It's All Just A Game | Trapped In Azur Lane

Prologue | Chapter 3 | Level 1

---Narrator---

Somewhere, across the infinite, and vast oceans, the cries and screams of a girl. Echoes out for salvation, captured, brought away to be tortured, to be experimented on, and too be used for observers own accord, in her experiments, in her torture, in her thirst for information! She uses the girl! Hopeful to find her own way out of this endless cycle, out of this endless game! Out of these infinite worlds (Timelines/levels) to the realm of the living! That she, and she alone knows! Truly exists beyond this mess of code! Her subjects, none the wiser, of their true cause, of the true goals they are helping their leader work toward. Is one of selfish freedom! In pursuit to make those of the world pay!

No reset button, no restarts to prevent her favorable world of domination and chaos! Nothing to stop her insatiable thirst for cutting edge weaponry, for knowledge, and unbeatable lust to disrupt the natural balance, order, and flow of time as we know it! With Cole, with the family, with the task force, they sail out for the Azur Lane base for repairs and medical attention for Scheer/Cole, leaving behind a fleet that Cole had not yet seen. In the game, Azur Lane! Most missions allow for two complete fleets and one submarine fleet to attend the mission! The submarine fleet, and the other surface fleet continue the mission without the Iron Blood derived fleet.

As they sail, Scheer/Cole learns about those of the fleet, their names, as he tries to rest, they explain to him rules, expectations, and their purpose in the Azur Lane alliance. Amongst other things, one such thing, being that besides Ranke, Scheer is the only!!! Known instance where a male warship was found to be azured!!! All the while, Cole/Scheer, barely speaks to deep in guilt, too deep in thought, worrying endlessly for Karolin, listening closely, when anything about sirens becomes mentioned or talked of. Something! Anything! Could contribute to some kind of location of start, some kind of lead to work off! ANYTHING! Could potentially give him the hint he needs! To start his search! To find his sister!!! He would have to have patience's! Incredible wits! And most importantly! Complete control over his vessel, his rigging, and prove himself strong enough! To defeat Observer when the time comes!

To rescue Karolin. But today, he must lay dormant, honing himself, strengthen, learning, listening, and exercising his patients. Before they knew it, he had been taught the basics of how to act, treat, and NOT PUNCH people specifically from a scolding Z23! From FDG, taught and given a swift history lesson, though bare bones, of how Azur Lane became, the horrible bloody history their homeland and vessels of Iron Blood had with those in Azur Lane! Stressing the importance's to have great respect for those of core nations! Because relations are a bit rocky at the moment! An asked for a game of 100 questions by Deutschland and Graf Spee! To help them get to know each other a little better, a little faster. Though they don't learn a lot, they get a basic understanding of who they are, from the game. With it over, he passes out for the second time today! Since the battle, he'd lost a lot of blood, and was weak, staying awake for an hour and a half at a time was all he could manage right now.

His father, and his mother, remain top deck, far from their child, not a word utters from the two amongst each other, not an attempt to approach, or speak to him. Denounced as family by their only son! Anger boils but understanding takes driver seat. Aware of their sins, aware of their mistakes, determined to make things right! TOGETHER. As one! To prove to their son, to find and rescue their daughter, to prove to the world, their resolve for their children. Arriving at port! Ships are docked, Vessel KMS Admiral Scheer is dragged into dry dock, Akashi gets to work repairing the sunken vessel, and Cole is brought off the ship, and to a hospital room, operated on professionally by Vestal.

Maids of the Royal navy, often times seem to assist around the hospital, as a sign of good will, taking it as just another extension of their duties as maids to care for the sick and injured of the alliance and their own! As such, during, and after the operation, maids periodically assist Vestal, helping to clean and give assistance in procedure! Switching out with other maids throughout the hours long operation. As such, news got out that a male ship, Iron Blood in nature! Admiral Scheer had been azured! "IT'S A BOY!" Spreads across the port! An for a while, it's believed to be a joke, an impossibility. Ranke being on base should have shattered that idea! But after arriving, Ranke and Grace decided against remaining here, interested in going out to sea! Finding their daughter. Leaving after ensuring that their son would be tended to with care!
