Azur Lane Fanfiction - Stay With Me

Chapter 16

Ethan and the others arrived at the front of the mirror sea and soon, they entered it, unknowing what lies ahead.

Ethan: "Everyone, be on your guard. This may very well be a trap."

The others nodded in response.

Suddenly, the path in front of them was disappearing and the fog was starting to close in on them. When they realized what had happened, it was already too late. Everyone was missing.

Ethan: "Damn it! Can you hear me? Anyone?" Ethan shouted but no one answered.

Ethan: "Wait, I'll try the coms. What?! It isn't working? Maybe it's because we're in a mirror sea..."

As Ethan talked to himself, the fog in front of him started to part, revealing a path.

Ethan: "I guess I have no choice..." he said as he went on the path.

Somewhere in the mirror sea...

Some of the shipgirls were able to regroup and are searching for the others.

Hornet: "This damn fog is so annoying! Not even our coms work here."

Yorktown: "Calm down Hornet. Let's just focus on finding the others."

Cleveland: "All we're missing now is Z23, Javelin, and the commander."

All of a sudden, a silhouette started to appear in front of them at it looked like it was Javelin and Z23.

Cleveland: "Hey you two. Are you alri-" she was then stopped by Yorktown.

Yorktown: "Be careful. I don't think they are Javelin and Z23."

Suddenly, the two began firing at the group.

Cleveland: "Hey what gives?! Why are you two shotting at us?"

Yorktown: "They must be replicas made by the sirens."

Hornet: "Those siren bastards. They think that we will hesitate to hurt someone that looks like our friends."

Yorktown: "Don't hold back. They may look like our friends, but they aren't. Let's destroy these fakes and continue finding the others!"

Somewhere in the mirror sea...

Z23 managed to regroup with Javelin and the two are now searching for the others.

Javelin: "Nimi, where is everyone? It's scary here..."

Z23: "It's okay Javelin. Let's just stick together and find the others quickly-"

The two then heard an explosion to their left followed by a small speck of light.

Z23: "There's something going on there. Let's take a look."

The two then approached the source of the explosion only to find the wreckage of a siren fleet."

Javelin: "What happened here?"

Z23: "I don't know... Javelin, look out!" she said as she moved towards Javelin to avoid the incoming object.

Cleveland: "Who's there? If you don't answer I'll shoot again!"

Z23: "Wait Cleveland! It's us, Z23 and Javelin!"

Cleveland: "Oh, it's you two. Sorry for shooting at you. I thought you were another one of those fakes that the sirens made." she said as she helped them get up.

Then, Yorktown and Hornet appeared.

Hornet: "We heard gunfire. Is everything alright?"

Cleveland: "Yeah. We're good. I thought that there was another duplicate of us but it turns out that it was them." she gestured to Javelin and Z23.
