THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

The Azur Lane fleet is here to stop Orochi, many of the Siren ships begin to turn towards the Azur Lane fleet, in the distance the Azur Lane fleet begins to approach.

Observer: Welcome, Azur Lane, we've been expecting you.

The ships of Azur Lane began to approach the enemy fleet.

Wales: [All fleet, attack!] Glory to the Queen!

Meanwhile, Wales and the Royal Navy girls summoned their riggings. On the other hand, the Eagle Union girls did the same. The carriers deployed their planes.

Enterprise: [Warriors, move forward!]

The Eagle Union kansen also summoned their riggings and sailed toward the enemy fleet.

Cleveland: We can't let the Royal Navy have all the fun!

The girls advanced without hesitation toward the enemy, with allied planes flying above them to gain air superiority.

While the submarines submerged to avoid detection, Columbia approached the enemy fleet and fired torpedoes at the battleships. The torpedoes swiftly sailed towards the battleships, successfully hitting them and causing several explosions below the waterline. Many of the battleships were incapacitated with the first blow, and some were able to continue fighting, albeit at a speed below 12 knots.

Me: Next round, fire.

The next wave of torpedoes was reloaded after a few seconds and then fired. This time, the torpedoes were aimed at Orochi, as the battleship fleet on the port side had been disabled. Now there is a gap through which the torpedoes can navigate without any obstacles.

In that moment, Orochi realizes the 5 torpedoes from Columbia heading towards her. She tries to avoid the torpedoes by maneuvering to starboard, but it's already too late. The torpedoes hit her, causing several splashes of seawater on the right flank of the Orochi battleship.

Orochi: (disgust) I didn't see that coming, is that a fleet of submarines? [Find that submarine!]

She gives orders and her escort ships obey her, but the escort ships do not find any submarines. The submarine division of the Eagle Union is elsewhere, fighting against the Siren fleet that is attacking the Sakura Empire, and Columbia is attacking from long distances. That's why they wouldn't find the submarine.

Columbia would continue torpedoing the enemy over and over again. Then, she fires the Tomahawk missiles against Orochi. The missiles, upon hitting Orochi's battleship hull, cause damage to the lightly armored anti-aircraft weapons and cannons.

Orochi: (Furious) Where do all these attacks come from?!

Meanwhile, returning to the fight between Kaga and Zuikaku:

Zuikaku cuts all the scrolls fired by Kaga.

Zuikaku: Wake up Kaga! The sirens are using you!

Kaga: I don't care anymore.

Kaga deploys its planes to bomb Zuikaku while Zuikaku also responds in the same way by sending its own bombers.


Both enemy squadrons engage in an epic dogfight where both squadrons are shot down. One of the planes manages to barely fly and makes a suicide attack against Zuikaku.

Zuikaku, feeling confident, attempts to attack when she realizes too late about the suicide plane. Shokaku rushes to shield Zuikaku while Kaga says that nothing matters to her anymore, but at that moment an unexpectedly shot down plane hits Kaga's plane.

Zuikaku: What was that?

A Spitfire had saved the life of the fifth division, and then Unicorn, Javelin, and Laffey appeared to help.

Zuikaku: (Surprised) You are from Azur Lane...

Ayanami: Kaga-san, of course it matters.

Kaga: Ayanami, huh? Are you trying to get in the way of my sister?

Ayanami: You're mistaken, I'm here to jump over all of them.

Ayanami gets on guard to prepare for the battle as Kaga is a formidable opponent.

On the other hand, we have Enterprise killing every high-ranking Siren that crosses her path. It takes her no more than 1 second to kill a Tester clone, Belfas, who is protecting Enterprise. She is very surprised by the ridiculously powerful power that Enterprise possesses.

At that moment, Belfast realizes something on Orochi's deck.

Belfast: Enterprise-sama, look at that!

Enterprise looks and she can see a confused Akagi walking on the Orochi's deck, but at that moment Orochi reveals itself and she smiles in a very malicious way.

At that moment, the Orochi ship starts to shine, causing everyone to look at Orochi.

Enterprise: What are you trying to do?

Orochi: There's no need to ask... Right, Akagi?

Meanwhile, in Akagi's consciousness, many of her memories are being blocked so that she succumbs to Siren control, and in the end, Akagi gives in to the mind control.

Akagi: Yes, let's start our great war...

At that moment, everyone sees something resembling a rocket emerge and position itself for launch - it is the intercontinental ballistic missile.

Me: [Girls! That thing is what destroyed the island!]

Faced with Columbia's warning, all the girls become frantic to prevent the launch while Columbia is preparing to fire an SM-3 missile.
