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

Chapter 4: The Truth Hurts

       "Azur Lane.. Engage!"
I begin to open fire, as the sounds of many eighteen inch cannons, sixteen inch cannons, and fifteen inch cannons all firing. Below I could see U-556 torpedo's being launched and hitting some of the submarines. However all the shells that were headed over to the super Siren battleship were all blocked by some sort of blue big shield.
        "Your cannons render ineffective. I shall show you the true might of a battleship."
Her cannons begin to slowly aim at us, I could hear a squad of F6F hellcats  overhead with a group of barracuda's?
        "This shall be the end for you. Leaders of Azur Lane!"
The Siren battleship began to fire, as the laser was blocked by a white shield.
        "Good call. Illustrious."
        "Thank you Lady Enterprise. It is an honor to be assisting you in this fight."
        "Dam it. Launching all planes now—"
        "No, we retreat."
        "But empress—"
        "As senior battleship. I order you, and this fleet to retreat. We shall fight them another day. Unless of you wish to talk to Observer Zero.."
        "......Very well."
The sirens withdrew and slowly, one by one, vanished back in their purple portals.
        "You think I'd let you go freely?"
I had my guns aimed at Cataclysm.
        "And don't you think we were not watching you?"
I felt five torpedos hit and explode in front of me, I quickly activated my airlocks and as the smoke cleared the entire siren fleet was gone.
         "This, This was all your fault."
I quickly looked at Bismarck.
         "My Fault? No one died Bismarck—"
She fired her main guns at me, then the sound of three big cannons fired back at Bismarck. Leaving a big hole in her armor, and a shocked face
          "Bismarck. As of this Moment. Your faction and camp. Is banned from Azur Lane. High command has given you warning, after warning. Yet. You never learned."
           "Why-ooooh. I get it. It's because you think your all 'high and mighty' and your the 'head of the Sakura Empire' means you call the shots huh? News flash Yamato. I do not come alone."
             The sound of zero's with Aichi D3A Type 99's dove down and my Anti-aircraft kicked in. From the distance stood two carriers with two fox girls standing on the decks.
            "We were built to counter the Siren threat.. yes.. However, we shall be the ones who shall look at 'god' in the face and join 'god'. Kaga. Let us begin-Well well well. look who to is, Yamato. Tell me how is my dear Watson doing? Is he keeping you warm—"
            "That's enough Akagi.. Farewell Azur Lane."
"Bismarck, what are you doing sister?"
"My dear young sister Tirpitz. Power is essential for any camp. But those pesky Allies. Azur Lane. Have taken our power away! Please sister! With your might, we shall gain power back for our camp!"
"Bismarck, are you insane?—"
"No, I am not insane, I am willing to give up my life for our camp ironblood. And so should you. As Ironblood's leader, I say all who oppose me, shall be killed. Understood?"
Tirpitz slowly raised her flag up, as Bismarck did the same. As ironblood planes, along with the sounds of disturbed waters slowly followed. Then within a blink of an eye, almost the entire Iron-blood camp was behind Tirptiz and Bismarck. I looked to my left and noticed U-556 had surfaced beside me. I looked at her, as tears ran down her cheeks.
             "U-556 lets go-"
             "No."
I looked at Bismarck, she stopped with Tirpitz beside her, Tirpitz turned around, however Bismarck slowly turned to face U-556, with a very stern look.
              "What did you say to me? I signed your paper little submarine. I treated you like a sister. Yet. You say no."
              "U-556, you should-"
              "NO! I won't go! I shall not go against azur lane. I wish to stay here and protect humanity!"
               A tear ran down Bismarck's face, as her cannons slowly took aim
              "Bismarck. Bismarck please stop!"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Tirpitz forcefully oriented Bismarck's four main cannons. To be aimed directly at Tirpitz's chest. I could see Bismarck trying to rotate her cannons, however her cannons were sparking whenever she tried to rotate them.
                "T..Tirpitz. Tirpitz un-jam me this instant!!"
"I'm sorry, my dear sister Bismarck, even if it was a short time that I got to know you. I'm happy. So please. I wish to be the one to die. Not U-556. She is too innocent and pure to die yet—"
"N-no. As Flagship of the ironblood, i overwrite my own law-"
"And as second flagship of ironblood. I forbid any flagship wanting to overwrite any law as long as if I am alive."
More tears ran down Bismarcks cheeks, I could hear Bismarck for the first time crying on the inter-com. There is no way Bismarck could ever pull the trigger-suddenly two Flashes of light came from Bismarck. My eyes widened with surprise and shock. And it wasn't just me, everyone was looking at Bismarck. As Bismarck was hugging Tirpitz in her arms crying over her body.
"Tirpitz...Forgive me..."
"N..No..Good.. Job sister.."
Tirpitz slowly looked up at Bismarck and gently put her hand on Bismarck's left cheek.
"It's Ok.. Ok Sister. It's ok.. You don't need to cry.. It's. Alright.. Even.. If I am dying.. I am happy.. Because.. I get to finally..see my true..sister.."
Tirpitz weak and dying, moved her hand from her cheek to Bismarck's left shoulder.
"So please.. Don't... Cry for me...... Promise me..... That you will not cry.. When I.... leave.... Ok? And.. Please. Get to know Scarlett more... She's.. A nicer person than you.. think.."
Bismarck couldn't help but cry more over the intercom. I noticed she tried to put on her best smile for Tirpitz.
"Yes.. I will Tirpitz.."
Suddenly, Tirpitz's arm dropped from Bismarck's left shoulder, and her eyes rolled back while Bismarck held her body.
"S-Sis? Hey.. Tirpitz?"
Bismarck shook her, she didn't respond. Bismarck shook her again but more violently, wanting a response out of Tirpitz but none came.
"Hey. TIRPITZ!!! Wake up!! Please!! This isn't fucking funny!! TIRPITZ!!!! NOO!"
Bismarck began to cry harder, as she held Tirpitz's, lifeless body, I felt a heavy burden laid upon me. Looking down I can hear U-556 crying, I carried U-556 and heading slowly back to port. I turned around to see Akagi and Kaga vanish from behind the Ironblood fleet.
                  "Bismarck, as punishment for firing upon the flagship of Azur lane, I hereby strip you from your flagship title, and are under arrest. The four of us shall decide who gets your title. And anything you do, or say will be held against you." Yamato went up to Bismarck and restrained her.

Putting U-556 down on the dock gently, without a word, she sat down and said nothing. I sat down beside her, however instead of going off to find the commander. Something inside me feels like I should stay beside U-556.
"You know.. Tirpitz. To me. Was like Bismarck. Harsh, strict, but deep inside, she was.. A caring person. It's why..When I meet you Lady Scarlett. You.. Reminded me of them. Lady Tirpitz and....Lord... Bismarck.."
she began crying more. I couldn't help but comfort her with a friendly hug.
"I know right now isn't a good time.. but.. I want to know where the commander's office is.."
U-556 sniffled, then nodded.
"A-alright. I'll..I'll show you where the commander's office is."

Just as Me and U-556 walked to the commander's office, a man was beginning to lock up the commander's office. Until suddenly the short red headed ship-girl beside him shouted.
"Commander~! Look! Guests to visit me! The famos idol!"
                  "Idol?"
"I am here to see commander Hawk2zerO. Have you seen him?"
The man stopped trying to lock the door and looked at me.
                  "I am Hawk2zerO. And please, call me Hawk. Please come in."
He put his keys in his pocket and opened the doors, turning on the light. I walked in with U-556.
                  "Hallo! My name is San Diego! I—"
As Commander Hawk2zerO sat on his seat behind his desk. He put on his white commander cap back on with his commanders uniform. He had over 10 medals on his uniform, and eight rings on his left hand.
                  "Sandy, knock it off. Sorry if my wife is a bit...... Weird. What is it that you wanted to talk about?
                  "It's ok. My name is Scarlett. I came to talk about the girl I saw? Who is she?"
He put one hand on his chin and rested his head on the back of his chair. Then putting both hands on the table, opened up a drawer and took out a yellow file that was labeled "declassified: iron cataclysm" I opened it up, holding it in the palm of my hand. I looked at the file to find the same exact design as my rigging. However she had two big main turrets, holding what looks like two four hundred and eighty millimeter guns. In the bio to the left of the image, it states that they were the most accurate guns in the world, with four large long decks, and it seems the other half of the image was ripped out. But most terrifying of all. It said "predecessor: Scarlett class battleship" without hesitation, I dropped the file on the desk, shocked and afraid.
                  "No. No no no no no. There must be some mistake!"
                  "No, there is no mistake. Azur Lane, while helping Bismarck move from Ironblood, to Azur Lane. Told us about a project they've been working on. And so, naturally azur lane took that project, and created you. The Scarlett class battleship. However, this document that U-u-556 uncovered a month ago didn't make sense.. until well.. now."
                   "No, you must be mistaken-"
U-556 cut me short and interrupted me.
"No, this is not a mistake Lady Scarlett. You are the sister ship to Cataclysm."
