Azur Lane: Lies or Truths? (Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 3: Minor hiccups

I walk into the mess hall, hungry and thirsty, and while I was about to enter. Bismarck bumps into me.
      "Why don't you move you non-aryan blood-"
I grabbed her arm.
      "What did you say?-"
      "Yeah, you heard me right non-aryan. My sister may have helped, but to me, the leader of the great ironblood, you are nothing but a fluke in our great desi—"
I interrupt her, and fired back with my comment in reply.
       "If you say your a leader. Then lead. You maybe a slight different from the original. But it doesn't mean you can be better than your previous self. So why can't you move on instead of holding onto the past?"
I let go of Bismarck and walked away from the mess hall.

Sitting on a bench outside the mess hall, I sighed and taking out my flagpole, looked at the insignia, and put it beside me.
      "Ah! Lady Scarlett!"
The voice sounded like a cheerful u-556 to the right of me. I looked to my right and saw U-556 walking over to me with My mentor Yamato at her side. They both sat down, yamato to my right and U-556 to my left. As Yamato gently handed me a bowl of udon.
      "Hello Scarlett. Care for some?"
I gently grabbed the bowl of udon.
      "Thanks."
"How have you been?"
"I'm alright, and I should've learned better than to expose my broadside to you."
      "Wait, your getting training from the great Yamato!! The flagship of the Sakura empire?!"
      "Yes, she is.. And Scarlett is indeed a formidable opponent. However going back two weeks ago. Bismarck did not enjoy signing your petition to be apart of the Ultra Rare rarity."
      "Why not-"
Suddenly, a bright red beam from the sky hit the horizon and stayed there with blue electrical sparks around the beam.
      "What is that?"
      "The Sirens? No, there is no way.. We just repelled them."
I stood up, grabbed my flagpole, and looked at Yamato.
      "Yamato, I request to investigate."
      "I deny that request. You are too valuable to Azur Lane—"
      "And so is everyone else here at this base. This is the final frontier Yamato. Please, let me go out and investigate."
      Yamato put her hand up to her chin, as silence followed. Yamato stood up and pointed her red bamboo umbrella forward. Suddenly all of her rigging parts flew to her, and her main guns burst open with small blue shards. Revealing her main cannons on her rigging.
      "We shall go with you."
      "YAY! A mission!"
      "What about the Commander? He will be angry that we are doing this."
      "I shall deal with the commander and his secretary after we investigate.. For this matter is greater than letting everyone on this base die. Grab your rigging."
       I nodded, and began to run over to the ledge, jumping over it and shouting my class name, I slashed down into the water.

Heading out to investigate, my rigging was riding the waves up and down. Behind me I heard a big splash, turning around, I saw Yamato covered in light sprinkles of water as she coughed a bit.
       "Yamato? Are you alright?"
       "Yes, I am fine. It has been so long since I have ventured into open waters. This feeling is a feeling I thought I'd never feel again.."
        I chuckled and reducing my speed, I went beside Yamato and continues to travel at her pace.
        "Thank you for coming out here with me."
        "You are most welcome. Listen, I know Bismarck can be a pain. But I know she can be different."
        "I know Yamato—"
As the beam began to slowly move.
        "Is the beam.. Moving? That doesn't seem normal-"
        "Planes incoming!"
Over a thousand grey planes with jet engines roared the sky's with an armada of Aichi D3A Type 99's. Behind them, all flying in a perfect formation and possibly within striking range.
       "Sending recon planes."
As soon as Yamato launched her recon planes, the sqadrent began to dive down. I switched to anti-aircraft, and started to light up the sky with flak fire. Then F6F a squadron of F6F hellcats began to attack with Enterprise? On top of a Hellcat. As soon as the entire enemy squadron was destroyed, Enterprise got off the hellcat and landed in front of us.
       "It has been awhile Yamato. Last time I saw you was on April 7th, 1945."
       "It indeed has been awhile Enterprise-"
As another wave came to us. Enterprise began launching more fighters, and Yamato's wrist pad tremmored. As Yamato activates her wrist pad, she showed me her wrist pads screen, on the screen there was a single shipgirl who looked like me with light cruiser guns from the Sakura empire, the main cannon configuration of Bismarck, one flight decks that looks like the Sakura empire, and her hull looks like the hull of an ironblood battleship. Then the screen goes to static, as the beam also came to cease.
      "We must retreat now-"
      "No. Scarlett, you and Enterprise must retreat with this message. The end is nearing. And to you. I shall pass the Sakura empire upon Nagato.. For I shall lay down my life to save this base."
      "No! I'll go! I'm more advanced than you-"
She hands me her flag.
      "Scarlett. You must live. Your skills are inept and you are not skilled enough to compete against this threat. I will seek it to Enterprise to return you home. I am sorry, and Enterprise, take good care of the girls for me-"
       Suddenly I could hear the sound of eight fifteen inch guns roar to the left, interrupting Yamato.
      "Sorry I am Late. And Scarlett.. You are right. I should've been more of a leader and.. More friendly.."
Bismarck's face brightened red with the words "embarrassing" written all over her.
       "Yamato, I shall accompany you. Scarlett. Head back, now."
       "But-"
       "My oh my~. Seems like the worthless clone of me has come out to play.."
       "Worthless clone? Who are you?!"
The Siren battleship carrier laughed.
       "Who writes the history books? Not the losers nor the people who have switched sides, no, no. It is the victors who wrote the books. And I shall have them on a silver platter. For I, Iron Cataclysm, shall put your head!!"
       The woman began screeching into the intercom, as ten Siren submarine Wolfpack's surfaced with a blue circle portal opening up beside her. And a new Siren battleship emerged from the portal.
       "Good work Cataclysm. Let us make this quick.. to protect our future."
       "Yes, great Arbiter: The Empress III. Let this be quick."
