On the open ocean.

Dashing through the ocean was the newly reborn axis mind, skated cross the ocean waves continuing to search for the feeling that was pulling her.

She flew through miles of Open Sea exploring and seeing everything that was there to see.

But eventually she stopped on a deserted island, I was looking around for a new area to go to.

Atheon: from my search I was able to deduce that majority of this planet is aquatic based. But no signs of any intelligent life has been discovered.... Am I really the only being that's on this planet?

She continued to look around the ocean, and once again was met with absolutely nothing except for the deep blue water of the ocean.

Atheon: I guess I will not know until I fully explore the planet.

So once again she rushed off, into the horizon as her adventuring only continued.

Elsewhere on the open sea

Skimming across the ocean surface like a strider hunting for its prey could be seen a group of girls.

One of them was a girl with a slender figure and a medium bust. She has a long white hair tied in a high-ponytail with a mechanical animal ears on top of her head, and has brown eyes. She wears a white sleeveless sailor uniform with a blue collar, yellow neckerchief with an anchor motif and shows her midriff, blue pleated skirt with white lines, on her right leg wears a white high socks and on her left leg wears a bandage on the upper thigh & white socks on her calf, black folded boots with white lines and white armband on her left wrist.

This was Ayanami one of the destroyers of the Sakura Empire.

The other was a tall woman with a slender frame and a large bust. She has a waist-length brown hair with orange highlights tied in a high ponytail by a hair ornament, and has yellow eyes with orange eyeliner. She wears a long-sleeved hooded kimono with flower motifs and red strings on each sides of her chest, yellow designs and linings, black designs at the end of the sleeves and a black sash wrapped around her waist, red hakama skirt, black straps on each thighs, black socks with red linings and red & silver slippers.

This was Zuikaku one of the aircraft carriers of the Sakura Empire.

And lastly the final girl is a tall woman with a slender frame and a large bust. She has a waist-length silver hair with one side tied in a small sidetail by a hair ornament, and has blue eyes with orange eyeliner. She wears a long-sleeved hooded kimono with flower motifs and red strings on each sides of her chest, yellow designs and linings, black designs at the end of the sleeves and a black sash wrapped around her waist, black hakama skirt, white thigh-high socks with red strings, red & silver slippers and black partly fingerless gloves.

This was Shoukaku sister if Zuikaku and another on of the Sakura's empires aircraft carriers.

The three of them were in a mission related to the increase of siren activity.

After all their leader nagato feared that since the war between azur Lane and Crimson axes began the sirens might take advantage of this situation and use it to destroy them.

Even though their side of the team use a siren technology thanks to Akagi who became their mean "strike Commander". They didn't want to take any chances.

So the higher-ups at Sakura Empire decided to send out four small teams. This team was one of them as they were patrolling the north side of the base.

Shoukaku: "Zuikaku what do you think the higher-ups are trying to do?" Asked the sister of Zuikaku, as a questionable look was on her face.

Zuikaku: "huh" the sister was not ready for such questions as such it completely took her off guard.

Shoukaku: "I mean if Akagi can already control the sirens then what's the point in us going on this trip? Furthermore how did she manage to acquire such power?"

Zuikaku: ".... I don't know. But all I do know is that we were sent on a mission and we have to fulfill it."

Shoukaku: "then I'll be right there alongside you little sister."

Zuikaku: Smiles proudly "then I guess I'll have nothing to fear if you were beside me."

But talking was cut off when they noticed a flickering light off in the distance. As I noticed a squadron of sirens floating across the ocean's wave.

And they weren't just mass-produced models they were also humanoids as well, meaning that whatever has the sirens spooked or cought there attention was great indeed.

Ayanami: "I'm counting about 20 humanoid sirens... Along with about 32 to maybe 50 mass-produced models... I've never seen the sirens like this, it's as if something has them spooked."

Zuikaku: "yeah you're right and if it has the sirens spoke to this extent.
what does it mean for us?"

Shoukaku: "we may not know, what it means for us but for now stay safe, after all the three of us cannot take on that many siren. It would be best if we report back to lady nagato"

Ayanami: "I agree as well"

Ayanami continue to look on at the scene in front of her as you felt something inside of her twist. Her mind's been elsewhere ever since the first battle with azur lane, as the same devastated looks of the three individuals that wanted to be her friends. Played over and over in her head.

Ayanami: 'I really wish these would stop.'

Without any words to be spoken between the group they slowly started to pull back. Unfortunately one of those sirens who they believed to be a lookout spotted them.

Humanoid siren (1): "look over there!"

Her shout out towards the group caught everyone's attention, as they all looked where the lookout pointed and notice the small group of ship girls.

Ayanami: "it looks like we've been spotted."

Zuikaku: "dang it!"

As the sirens came flying towards them the group could do nothing but fully after all taking on this squadron of sirens was basically a death sentence.

As an untold amount of lasers bombarded the ocean surface as the mass-produced models fired their shells that whistled through the air. As they eventually crashed to the ocean surface causing the water itself to be blasted into the air as the group evaded their shots.

Zuikaku even turned around and fire some of her planes at the group, causing them to become less focused on them for only a couple seconds as they dealt with the planes dropping ordinance on them.

Which gave the small group a few seconds to which they use to get away as fast as possible.

So they went towards a large blanket of fog.

They zips towards it as fast as possible, as the sirens were now done dealing with the aircraft and we're now back solely on crushing them.

The group realize that hear and now they would have to take a stand. because if they kept her running any longer the sirens would have eventually turn them to scrap.

The two aircraft carriers both fire their aircraft all at once, in order to try and deal with the massive amount of airpower the sirens wielded against them.

Well ayanami started to fire her shells at the mass produce models taking out a couple of them.

But the group was still heavily overwhelmed but the multiple of the sirens. We're able to destroy the aircraft's planes, and began to once again turn their lasers against the group.

Causing them to have to break formation in order to invade certain death.

But unfortunately for our little destroyer one of the mass-produced models turned its massive cannon at her, at its shell flew through the air slamming into her. Thanks to her being blocked on all sides by the sirens.

Her screams echoed through the air as she flew across the ocean surface skipping across it, like a stone skipping across a lake.

Finally her body lost momentum as she laid on top of the ocean surface unable to move her body as her two other teammates came to get her.

Zuikaku: "AYANAMI!!!" She rushed to the girl as she easily dodged multiple of the sirens lasers. As she scooped up the girl in her arms and took her to her sister. "Shoukaku! We can't hold out any longer! If we continue to-"

Her voice was rendered silent as the cover they were once behind was blasted apart by the sirens who relentlessly kept pursuing them until their inevitable death.

And the three of them came to realize this as their eyes track the sirens as they all began to aim their lasers at them.

Their eyes closed as they waited for their deaths to come.

But luckily for them.

Death had other plans.

*Shiver*

A cold feeling washed over everyone including the sirens as they felt an unimaginable feeling of.

Dread

The feeling only increased as they heard something approaching.

They heard the slight sound of something skimming across the ocean surface.

And it only got closer and closer to eventually their minds ran wild with.

Fear

The sirens all looked at one another as they felt this or a once before, the same feeling that covered the entire planet. And the ones that their leader warned them about.

The one that they were meant to destroy was coming towards them!

But for the girls of the Sakura Empire they did not know what this was.

All they could do was sit there and wait as their minds we're consumed in dark premonitions.

Living nightmares came to their eyes as they could only imagine what this thing could be.

They waited for what felt like an eternity...

And finally they could see an outline of a person, gently floating towards them.

As they noticed two blue lights staring at them from within the fog that she was hidden in.

And eventually this being emerged from the fog.

And finally the sirens and ship girls could now see the monster in the fog, a girl with bright blue hair flowing down to her waist covered in heavy futuristic in very advanced armor.

With two crystals on her back which looked very reminiscent of wings.

But the part that got them were her eyes, soulless with zero emotions inside of them. Just lifeless sapphire eyes that pierced into their very hearts and stared into their souls.

But the silence broke as the sirens turned from the ship girls and started to bombard this new being that stood in front of them.

P.O.V Atheon

I now find myself standing in front of what appears to be some kind of futuristic organic life-forms that were now chasing after these weird almost human-like beings.

But I was not fully able to record everything as this new unknown organism began to attack me.

I simply stared at the lasers that were approaching me as my automatic defense kicked in. A Blue shield formed around me which completely nullified all the incoming damage that the lasers would have done to me.

Clearly my advanced shielding was a shock to these primitive life-forms as I noticed their optics widened.

'so they have no keep abilities of piercing my shield... But my weapons system hasn't come online yet, meaning I will have to resort to using melee combat.,'

{Probability of sustaining damage from unknown organisms.... 1%... recommend using speed to get around any tricks they may use.}

And with that my battle begin.

No P.O.V

The mysterious girl had white particles forming around her as with her final step she disappeared into a sonic boom.

Everyone looked confused until she reappeared right behind one of the humanoids sirens and...

Tore out it's heart, or in this case the mental cube. As the sirens blood gushed out from the open home.

???(Atheon): 'so these organisms have similar biochemistry to humans... Without this thing that acts like a heart they are rendered... useless'

The sirens began to unleash everything they had on this being but she didn't bat an eye. She's simply continue to walk forward as her shield continue to defend her against everything.

Disappearing within another Sonic boom as another siren unfortunately had their mental cube ripped out from their body.

One by one she tore through the hordes of sirens like a 1000 degree knife through butter. It was a massacre to say the least as the sea around her was filled to the brim with siren blood.

What was once consisted of about twenty humanoid sirens was down to only three with many of the mass-produced models still active but unable to do anything.

Atheon's P.O.V

Just as I thought they're unable to do anything against me and my assumption of this little cube thing was right, remove it and they go lifeless.

{System updated, weapons systems are now operational... Such weapons include, Torch Hammer, Slap Rifle and Line Rifle. Furthermore Arc system is now activated.}

'Arc system? What is that.'

{Arc system: able to conduct arc energy (electricity) throughout body to form new kinds of attacks... Risk factor of using it high, recommend only as a last resort }

'interesting'

Now with my weapon systems activate I can take out these organic beings a lot easier.

No P.O.V

The ship girls watched as the right arm of this mysterious woman had the same white particles from before start forming around it.

As a notice something was materializing over her arm.

???(Atheon): Line Rifle active.

Finally whatever this rifle was materialized over her arm as they were able to get a good look at it.

Very futuristic was the first thing that came into their minds, the thing didn't even look like a normal rifle. Some parts of it even started to glow with a faint scarlet light.

But they watched as she raised her arm up into the air which was now the rifle. Begin to charge up as it's humming was heard by everyone.

The same happened with one of the humanoid sirens, as they turned around only to be met with...

Their head exploding like a watermelon, as a red beam was fired from the rifle completely turning their brain and skull to mush.

The same fate would befall the other humanoid siren as another red beam flew into the distance turning their head to mush as well.

She then turned around towards the mass-produced models who still kept firing at her her arm was once again covered in what particles as it changed to another weapon.

???(Atheon): Torch Hammer online.

She raised her new towards the would-be machines that dare to strike her as 4 purple bolts flow from her newfound weapon and crashed into the armored plating of the mass-produced model destroying it with no problem at all.

The same fate would befall the remaining mass-produced models as her new torch Hammer could easily tear through their armor like nothing more than wet paper.

And when it was all said and done the girl turned towards the ship girls who flinched at her cold unfeeling gaze.

Before she simply floated away knowing that they weren't a problem.

She simply flew back off into the sunset, leaving the ship girls both happy and nervous.

Happy because their lives of both themselves and their comrades could live to fight another day.

Nervous because whoever this girl was could easily change the tided of the war.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen this newest chapter is done I hope you enjoy it.

Now I'm sorry for the late update because it's supposed to come out last Sunday but I couldn't because of some unfortunate stuff.

But hey to quote the cloaker "better late than never".

Also I should state this hearing now, Atheon will not be getting a rig but she will have access to all Vex weapons a shield and as hinted to being able to control arc energy.

I mean I think it suits you know the most powerful axis mine to ever grace destiny's history! Instead of just giving her a rig.

Also here's a meme.

👆So true.

DIO OUT!!!!!!!!
