Whenever we see the ocean, it is a beautiful blue. But here, the waters are now but an ocean of fire. Ruins of ships are almost everywhere, smoke, some blood, and the sky has become fully dark. The sirens have destroyed most of what is left of humanity, those that are left are only a handful of kansens. They have fought for years, but no one knows how long. How many are left? There are only about a few dozen alive.

In the battlefield; Ash (Enterprise), Crimson (Akagi), Sheffield and Scharnhorst along with a few others like Gneisenau, Yorktown, Hiryu, Ark Royal, and many more are fighting Arbiter... the Empress of the sirens herself. They have fought day and night, they have barely gotten rest, so you can imagine how long they have waited for this moment. It was a truly decisive battle, with the Empress's servants helping their leader as they try to fight back against the kansens.

"The oppression of the sirens will never return... you have lost" Crimson says while panting as she points her sword to Arbiter's face

"No... no! NO! You will die!" Arbiter yells as she presents a black mental cube in her hand and it shoots dark purple lightning out of it but Crimson blocks the attack with her sword

Crimson struggles blocking the lightning but Sheffield shoots the cube out of Arbiter's hand as she yells in pain

"Like Crimson said... it's over Arbiter. We have the high ground" Ash says

"You underestimate my power..." Arbiter says as she tries to stand but quickly stops as Sheffield and Ash present their weapons

"Don't try it. How many times do we have to say it you piece of shit? You. Have. Lost." Scharnhorst says as she comes near them with Gneisenau

The other META survivors come by as well

10 seconds of silence

"So it would seem..." Arbiter says as she begins to giggle

"Why the hell are you laughing you damn vermin?" Sheffield asks

"The game is over, I never thought I would be beaten by you all. It seems our technology can be manipulated by other species after all, but I never thought it would increase and upgrade your strengths at such a level.." Arbiter says

"What can we say? We're special" Hiryu says

"Indeed, well this was fun while it lasted.. but I think I want to have more fun..." Arbiter says as she begins to fly and starts to glow slowly

Every META is alarmed and frowned

Ash begins to aim her bow

"Just one more shot... and all of this will end" Ash says but Yorktown META stops her

 and all of this will end" Ash says but Yorktown META stops her

"Big sister... why did you stop me?" Ash asks

"We might never see each other again... we'll be reunited with Hornet soon.. I just want to share this moment with you my little sister.. Enterprise" Yorktown META says as she hugs Ash who was shocked in hearing her name

"It was an honor of being a little sister to someone like you.. and it was an honor to fight with all of you.. especially you Akagi" Ash says to everyone

Crimson was shocked but smiles a little

"We may have all been enemies once, but that was.. how many years ago?" Crimson says as some of the kansens laugh a little

"Yes... that was a really long time ago" Arizona META says as everyone nods

"Well... I'll maybe see you all in heaven" Ash says as everyone share a small smile but change quickly back to their cold expressions

Ash goes back to aim at the cube. An energy begins to form around... forming an arrow that will finally end the war between Siren and Humanity.

Ash charges.. then she releases as the arrow starts to fly towards Arbiter. The arrow hits Arbiter, as everything then begins to be engulfed by light

Those who have lost their siblings begin to think of them once more, those whose siblings are still alive hug each other as everything comes to an end
