[I may need to divide the amount of work into these into several parts, because... I believe that this could result with a doozy of time to upload each one. And, I wanted to at least give it my all on developing this story.]

[Thanks to everyone who had supported me on this entire thing, and hopefully... It doesn't go in a bad way. Now then, let's do this!]

Last time on Azur Lane, Pandora had awoken to a bad dream regarding her Ashen-counterpart, Conformi. Because of the Black Mental Cube's energy, Pandora's state of mind has worsened with each night, causing Enterprise and Belfast to be filled with worry for their prodigy ship-girl. Meanwhile, Cleveland and Prince of Wales had discovered that the Black Mental Cube has began to fracture for unknown reasons, as they believed that whatever reason did the SIRENS had for targeting Pandora, after they gave up on Enterprise, had to be related to the Black Mental Cube's abnormal behaviors.

While at the Sakura Empire, Nagato placed a temporary pause on Project Orochi, as Kaga demanded that they should continue with constructing the secret Battle-Carrier. Although Kaga was denied of restarting the project, Nagato had sent over IJN Kumo and IJN Hikari to spy on her actions. The reason why Kaga, and her half-sister Akagi had been constructing Project Orochi, was simply a favorable ploy developed by the Elite SIREN, Observer Alpha, in exchange for reviving their deceased Elder Sister, IJN Amagi.

While at the same time, Pandora has got out of bed because of a vision in her head, which resulted in a mess with her dorm. In that weakened state, she saw Conformi again, before she started seeing Orochi taking the appearance of Amagi, the Battle-cruiser Ship-girl that she saw from before. When Orochi disappeared, Pandora collapsed, with the last voice that she heard, was from her Idol Inspiration, Enterprise, the Grey Ghost.

When Pandora woke up in a restless, and dejected state, Enterprise and Belfast had to forcibly push her to the cafeteria so she can tell them, what's bugging her mind. She stated that because of Conformi possessing her, she ended up killing Akagi, which shocks the whole cafeteria that was filled with Ship-people, as nobody was supposed to kill each other in the process of fighting.

USS Neosho, a Cimarron-class Oiler that was granted permission to live by the Omni-cron Operatives, is watching the youthful Pandora, telling her idol, and the loyal maid in a tearful manner, everything that was on her mind. Right before an explosion has rocked Pearl Harbor, which resulted with the Black Mental Cube being stolen from Azur Lane, and the two culprits were two SIRENS. One of them happened to be Purifier, and the other one being the lazy Beholder Gamma.

And as they begin to duke it out with the two SIRENS, Kaga had went against Nagato's orders, and activated Orochi, which made it sail towards an island that's far away from the Japanese Islands, which will allow it to integrate the last Black Mental Cube into Orochi.

Can they bring the Orochi down? Or will catastrophe arrive to spell doom upon the Azur Lane and Crimson Axis Alliances?



[Vision Begin]

Before we can get to the current time of day, we are brought to a memory of Amagi, of when she was still alive in the Sakura Empire. As she started walking, she heard the footsteps that were rushing towards her, those footsteps belong to IJN Naka, of the Sendai-class Light Cruisers, and IJN Hatakaze, of the Kamikaze-class Destroyers. They were informing her about Kaga and Akagi's little argument that turned into a fight.

[I couldn't figure out who's speaking, sorry.] - MatthiasWrites

Amagi: "What's wrong?"

???: "Oh. It's you Amagi. Good timing."

???: "Akagi and Kaga are fighting again."
