Alicorn falls through dark waters with dull eyes. Purifier's ugh taunts the sub girl.

  "How does anyone trust me." Alicorn's thoughts ring through the waters. "I'm a Siren, an easily controlled monster. Wherever I go chaos ensues. The Data proves its right, so still... why do people trust me when i can't even trust myself anymore."

  Alicorn's Wisdom cube slowly turns bck, but the blue shard shines brightly.

  "Have I become Death? The Destroyer of Worlds?"

  Baxterbro

  Purifier ughs as she watches a few ships panic. "Come on now, how am I supposed to enjoy this?"

  Several SBD dougss pnes bomb a a rge Siren ship and fly past Purifier.

  "What?" Purifier questions.

  "Purifier!" Enterprise yells as she aims her bow at the Siren.

  Purifier smiles sadistically. "Ohh, it's Enterprise!" She flies towards her.

  Enterprise lets her arrow fly as Purifier opens fire with her ser cannons.

  Enterprise slides to the side and the ser rounds fly past her, but Enterprise' arrow hits its target.

  "Yes...!" Edinburgh cheers.

  Purifier ughs as she flies up and out of the fireball she was in. Enterprise gasps at seeing how little damage she done to her target.

  "Okay, now it's fun!" Purifier ughs. "But too bad, gotta go! I'll be waiting for you on the final stage!"

  Purifier holds up her hand and all her cannons rapid fire, with no target in mind they randomly nd around the waters, even striking Siren ships.

  "She's hitting her own ships, too...?" Sheffield questions.

  "Have fun dear Imouto~" Purifier leaves through a portal.

  Any Siren Jets and ships still operational leave through portals.

  "Imouto?" Enterprise questions, before going pale. "No..."

  "Enterprise?" Belfast questions.

  "Everyone on alert! The battles not over yet!"

  "What do you mean, sis?" Hornet asks.

  "It's..." Enterprise then tenses up.

  Baxterbro

  Alicorn's submarine shoots out of the ocean nearby and sms on top of the surface.

  "...Alicorn." Enterprise mutters as she stares at her niece's sub.

  "Alicorn?" Clevend questions. "Why didn't she help us during the battle?"

  Several drones fly past the group and nd on Alicorn's sub, before disappearing into yellow particles.

  Sheffield sweats a little. "That's not our Alicorn."

  "Sheffy?" Edinburgh questions.

  TapTapTapTap

  Heels cck against metal and Alicorn soon comes into view on top of her sub. Her eyes blowing brightly as she has a sadistic smile on her face.

  "If it isn't Grey Ghost." Siren Alicorn stares at Enterprise as her voice turns robotic. "It's been a while, hasn't it."

  "W-What's going on?" Norfolk

  "Alicorn's Siren side has taken over." Enterprise informs.

  "Awww, you ruined the surprise." Siren Alicorn's sub glows yellow and changes into many Wisdom Cubes, which form her rigging and sword. Her shark rigging has yellow eyes and they roar at the fleet of ships in front of her.

  Enterprise aims her bow up and lets lose an arrow. Siren Alicorn tilts her head to the side and the arrow flies past her.

  "Enterprise!" Belfast shouts in shock.

  "We have to take her down." Enterprise states. "Or she will kill everyone here and so on."

  "But..." Clevend looks hesitant.

  "We're not going to kill her, we just have to find a way to knock her out."

  "This is what Alicorn was like before?" Ayanami asks.

  "Laffey's not sure, but from the stories she was told, yes." Laffey says.

  "Are you done talking?" Siren Alicorn asks. "Because I'm rather board and would like to get to killing you now~"

  "Fire!" Enterprise yells and everyone fires their weapons onto Siren Alicorn.

  Shell nd around Siren Alicorn and a rge smoke cloud covers the area. Every grows tense as they await for a smoke to clear.

  The sounds of engines fill their ears and suddenly all of Alicorn's aircraft fly out of the smoke as well as dozens of missiles.

  Everyone scatters as the pnes fire their weaponry onto the ships and the missiles nd around them. Everyone focus fires on the pnes and drones around them, while dodging many missiles.

  Enterprise grunts as she shoots down a Spitfire, then the hairs on her neck go up as an electric hum fills the air.

  Enterprise slides back as a couple rail-gun rounds fly past her and cause a massive pilr of water to shoot up behind her. Then she holds up her bow and blocks Siren Alicorn's sword. Siren Alicorn only has a few small wounds and scrapes.

  "Come on, Alicorn." Enterprise grunts. "Fight it."

  "There's nothing to fight Grey Ghost." Siren Alicorn smiles as she puts more power behind her attack. "For this is our true form! Hahaha!"

  Several shells fly towards Siren Alicorn and she jumps back as they nd in the water just in front of Enterprise. Enterprise slides back and stares at her niece in shock.

  "Give me back my friend!" Clevend shouts.

  "Yeah!" Columbia shouts. "Give back the Alicorn that saved me and my friends."

  Siren Alicorn's rigging roars at the two ships as they open their mouths and fire their cannons. Clevend and Columbia separate

  "None of you have the will to end this horrendous war!" Siren Alicorn shouts as she slices a few shells in half and her rail guns fire onto a few ships. "I do, I will sacrifice all your lives to end this war if I have to! SALVATION IS IN HAND!"

  Several small panels open on the necks of Siren Alicorn's rigging and missiles fly out of them as she ughs psychotically. Alicorn turns to Enterprise, who stares at her in shock.

  "Where's that resolve you had to take me down originally, Grey Ghost?" Siren Alicorn asks. "Do you have doubts about your own strength now?" Her rail guns aim towards Enterprise. "Or have you grown to attached to this body that you don't really want to hurt it!"

  Siren Alicorn's rail-guns charge up.

  "Sis, move!" Hornet yells as she dodges several missiles.

  Enterprise sweats as she brings up her bow and pulls back the string, a golden arrow forms. Siren Alicorn ughs as she aims her hand at Enterprise.

  BOOM BOOM BOOM!

  "Huh?" Siren Alicorn questions, only to be hit by a volley rge shells.

  "Battleship Wolf is on station!" Major Freya's voice yells over her ships P.A. as her rge ship sails in. "Give me back my friend you devil."

  The Smoke clears and Siren Alicorn turns to Major Freya's ship in anger. "YOU INSOLENT HUMAN! I SHALL KILL YOU FOR THIS!"

  Siren Alicorn aims her Righty's rail-gun at the rge grey Battleship, but an arrow sms into the side of it as it fires, sending the shell far off course.

  Siren Alicorn growls as she looks to the side and sees Enterprise ready another arrow.

  Siren Alicorn yells in anger as she fires all her weaponry at Enterprise. Enterprise grits her teeth as she swiftly sails away as explosions ring out just behind a her as she goes.

  Siren Alicorn yells in anger and charges at Enterprise, only to be blocked by several SBD Dougss'. "OUT OF MT WAY!" She slices the pnes up and keeps sailing towards Enterprise. Shells nding round her, but it doesn't deter her.

  Enterprise fires an Arrow at Siren Alicorn, only for her to slice it apart. She jumps up into the air and brings her sword back, only for a shell to hit her in the stomach, sending Siren Alicorn onto the water.

  "Alicorn!" Belchan's voice yells out.

  "Belcahn!" Belfast yells in surprise.

  Siren Alicorn growls in anger as she gets up and looks out to see Team Destroyers sailing towards her. Echo is the only one sailing on her ship, as the other three are skating with their riggings.

  "Belchan, this is too dangerous!" Belfast calls out as she shoots down a drone.

  Belchan skates past her sister. "Trust us, sister, we got this!"

  Kalk skates by. "Yeah, trust us!"

  "Belchan has a good pn!" Hobby skates by.

  "HA!" Major Freya yells. "These kids got moxie!"

  The three little ships sail towards Siren Alicorn, evading missiles and pnes.

  "These little shits." Siren Alicorn grumbles and her sharks open fire with their cannons.

  The three scatter as shells nd around them.

  Midly's Rail Cannon comes up and aims at Belchan, but an arrow flies into the base of it, causing the cannon to fall down and fire into the ocean.

  "Echo!" Belchan yells.

  "On it!" Echo yells from the bow of her ship, and she runs into her ship.

  Suddenly cssical sounding music starts to py through Echo's P.A.

  Baxterbro

  Siren Alicorn grunts as she puts a hand on her head, a single tear falls down her right eye. Then she yells in anger as Belchan, Hobby and Kalk fire their cannons onto her.

  Siren Alicorn brings up her rail cannon on Midly's head, and charges it up, but an arrow sms into her side causing her cannon to miss fire. She looks to the side and sees Enterprise aiming her bow up to her.

  "Will you all just die for me!" Siren Alicorn yells in anger and fires all her weaponry in the surrounding area.

  Siren Alicorn huffs in anger as smoke surrounds her, tears falling down her face. She growls and swipes her hand and clears to smoke around her, only to be meet with a flying Kalk.

  "I don't like this!" Kalk screams as she flies towards Siren Alicorn.

  Siren Alicorn brings up Kevin's rail-gun and charges it up. She smiles psychotically and goes to fire, but the rail-gun moves slightly as she fires, making the shell miss Kalk.

  "NO!" Siren Alicorn yells.

  Kalk yells as she headbutts Alicorn in the face. Siren Alicorn's head snaps back as blood flies from her nose. Her eyes fshes a few times, before going dull and she falls backwards into the water.

  Kalk face pnts the water and puts a hand on her head. "Owie." She gnces up and sees Alicorn ying on top of the water besides her, unmoving. "Did I do it?"

  The battlefield slowly foes quiet as Alicorn's pnes fall out of the sky and into the water.

  Everyone takes heavy breaths as sweat falls down their brows. Enterprise skates over to Alicorn and Kalk.

  Enterprise gnces at Kalk. "Good work."

  Kalk swiftly gets up and gives a little bow. "Thank you." She skates off back towards her friends.

  Enterprise looks down at the unconscious Alicorn below her. "This doesn't look good for you." She bends down and picks up her niece and skates back towards base.

  Inside a meeting room of the Azur ne Academy. Hood, Enterprise, Hornet, Helena, Commander Sicilia, Commander Stait, Illustrious Prince of Wales, Queen Elizabeth, Belfast, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Warspite and the Clevend sisters are all gathered.

  Sicilia is swiping on a tablet, looking at pictures gathered by a recon team. "W-What is this...?" One of them is a destroyed abandoned ocean city.

  "It has to be a Siren attack." Stait mutters.

  "But why did they hit a remote, uninhibited isnd?" Clevend questions.

  "To taunt us, perhaps?" Queen Elizabeth suggests. "They underestimate us."

  "But, Your Majesty, this situation is dire." Hood states. "If they use this to strike this base..."

  "Kaboom!" Hornet shouts. "We won't stand a chance."

  Sicilia sighs and rubs her temples.

  Helena speaks up. "I'm not sure if this is reted in any way, a huge, unknown vessel departed from Sakura Empire."

  "Sheffy, this ship..." Edinburgh points out.

  Sheffield nods. "Yes, it matches the characteristics of the ship we saw beneath Sakura Empire."

  Hood looks at the picture. "This is Orochi... What an enormous ship..."

  "The Sakura Empire port was heavily damaged by Orochi." Stait informs. "This has to be an unanticipated event, even for the Red Axis."

  "Perhaps the Red Axis were just being pyed by the Sirens, like us..." Illustrious suggests.

  "No." Enterprise speaks up and everyone looks towards her. "We haven't done anything yet. We haven't accomplished anything."

  "Enterprise..." Belfast mutters.

  "This starts now. We're going to crush whatever it is the Sirens are plotting." Enterprise looks at everyone.

  Belfast nods. "This is not an issue for just us Azur Lane. This Orochi is a threat to all of humanity."

  "I've already pulled some strings." Queen Elizabeth states. "We always cleanse off any humiliation we receive. That is the Royal navy way."

  Stait as a proud smile on her face.

  "And the Eagle Union way is payback!" Hornet points out.

  "We must fight... one more time." Enterprise says.

  Command Sicilia then stands up. "Then I, Commander Alice Sicilia, authorize the mission for neutralizing the Orochi!" She then wipes some sweat from her brow.

  Enterprise nods, along with everyone else.

  "I will need Alicorn for this." Enterprise says.

  "E-Enterprise, you know I-I can't allow that." Sicilia says.

  "Please, I need her, for this final battle."

  Sicilia sighs. "T-Then lets put it to a vote."

  .

  .

  .

  Alicorn ys on her side as she stares out a barred window from a hospital bed. Vestal had just left the room after the reprogramming she did on her.

  'I'm just a monster.' Alicorn says in thought. 'I could have killed everyone. I'm not safe to be around, they should just lock me up, or scrap me for parts.' Alicorn covers her head with the bnket.

  Suddenly the door opens and someone walks in.

  "Alicorn." Enterprise calls out. She walks closer to the bead. "Alicorn."

  Alicorn slowly removes the covers on her and rolls around to look at her aunt. "Enterprise." She says with a sad look.

  Enterprise walks right up to the bed and puts a hand on Alicorn's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Alicorn. This was something I should have thought would happen. I shouldn't have trusted her back then, but there was nothing else I could do. So... please don't bme yourself."

  "How can I not, I nearly killed you and everyone else."

  Enterprise puts a hand through Alicorn's ash blonde hair. "No one was really hurt, so you did nothing bad. ... But Alicorn, I need your help with this one st mission. Vestal believes Purifier can't control you right now, but we still need to be careful. But this mission will be tough and I need our strongest ship by my side, so... Will you help me?"

  Alicorn looks up at Enterprise. "Your asking for help? I've never seen that before... But, if it's coming from you, then I should accept it." She sits up. "I Alicorn, shall help you with this mission, and if I am to turn rouge again, please, just kill me this time. I don't want to bring anymore pain."

  Enterprise sighs. "I will accept that."

  .

  .

  .

  Azur Lane ships sail through the ocean at full force. Alicorn's sub sailing next to Enterprise's ship. Alicorn is wearing her military coat now.

  Baxterbro

  Alicorn looks up to the deep blue sky with a hesitant look. 'Should I really be a part of this battle?' She looks down at her gloved hands. 'What if I turn again? I'm not even fully repaired, my Rail Cannon is still inoperational.'

  Suddenly explosions ring out and Alicorn looks up to see fk go off in the air far in front of the fleet.

  "I guess it's too te now." Alicorn sighs and throws her hand forward.

  Alicorn's robot eagle flies past her and into the sky. Alicorn's eyes glow blue as well as her eagle's. The Eagle flies high above the battlefield and looks around, spotting many highcss Sirens in the battle.

  'There's so many Highcss Siren's.' Alicorn says in thought. 'This is the final battle, a battle for the Seas.'

  Then she spots Kaga amidst everything. 'Kaga?'

  The Eagle looks around and spots Orochi in the middle of the Siren Fleet. Its eyes narrow and vision zooms in on the boat, spotting "Amagi" holding Akagi. "Amagi" Suddenly looks up and meets the eyes of the Eagle. The Eagle's eyes widen as the two stare at each other.

  "So we finally meet." A voice rings out in Alicorn's head.

  'What? This is-' Alicorn says in thought.

  "Amagi" smiles up at the Eagle. "Confusing?"

  '...This is illogical.'

  "It is, my Dearest Onneechan?"

  Alicorn makes a surprised noise. 'What are you talking about, I'm not your sister, that is impossible!'

  "Amagi" giggles. "Is it though, I was made with you being the base, most of my data comes from you. We are essentially sisters."

  'Orochi...'

  "You finally figured it out, and I thought you were super smart."

  '...You will be neutralized by any means, you monster of nature.'

  Orochi frowns up at the Eagle. "You know it's not nice to call your younger sister a monster. Don't forget you are one as well, a Siren by nature just like me."

  Orochi holds her hand up to the Eagle and a loud electronic ring goes out. Alicorn stops her connection with her Eagle and covers her ears in pain.

  "Everyone!" Enterprise yells, catching everyone's attention. She points her hands at the Siren fleet in the distance. "FIRE!"

  Alicorn aims her rail-guns, and a couple of her main cannons forward and fires, along with everyone else. All their shells nds in the Siren Fleet, with most hitting a target.

  Everyone starts to form their riggins.

  Alicorn takes a deep breath and lets it out. "I can do this." Alicorn holds a hand forward. "DELIVERANCE!" Alicorn's sub turns into thousands of blue cubs that form into her three headed shark rigging.

  Alicorn throws a hand out and several drones and Mig-29ks fly off of her middle shark head and into battle. Alicorn then skates forward into the battlefield.

  "Let's end this, bring peace back to this ocean." Alicorn says with a determined look. "For the Queen of the of the Skies and the Predator of the Depths, will it!"

  Alicorn jumps out of the water and lunges towards a Highcss Siren, cutting her head off. Her sharks then let out a roar as they open their mouths and fire onto Siren ships.

  Alicorn does a couple backflips as a Siren ship fires onto her. Then she aims her hand at it and her two rail-guns fire into it, blowing it up.

  BeatBeat

  Alicorn tenses up and starts to sweat.

  BeatBeat

  'What is this feeling?' Alicorn questions.

  Alicorn looks through the battlefield and spits Orochi glowing red.

  "What is she doing?" Alicorn questions.

  All the energy on Orochi gathers into one spot, before disappearing. Then a rge hatch opens up on the ship and a rge missile is brought up to the deck.

  Alicorn's blood grows cold as she stares at the missile. "No... How did they get something like that?" Sweat falls down her face. "A Nuclear Missile..."
