Azur Lane: Never Dock

Final Countdown

Everyone found themselves back in real space, the Mirror Sea formed by Midway having been destroyed by an unknown element.

Code G, or simply an alternate form of Enterprise stared coldly at Akagi who started to panic. Her mind is trying to understand what Midway said as she looked up.

A golden arrow then pierced through her and she started falling towards the sea.

Seeming as she might fall in, someone jumped from the water and grabbed Akagi. Holding her princess carry was Midway with his rigging deployed.

Enterprise stared coldly at Midway as he also returned the stare. As Enterprise started drawing her bow back, Midway shuffled over and laid Akagi down on one of his rigging's flight decks.

He then retracted the flight deck behind him and materialized 2 pistols in his hands.

"Don't do it." Midway stated. However the warning was ignored and Enterprise fired her arrow. Midway dodged and both ships started engaging in a fight with each other.

Midway's fighter jets were launching anti ship missiles at Enterprise, who appeared unbothered by them. Enterprise in return had a flying X move in on Midway, many of her planes not surviving the Phalanx or the Sea Sparrow missiles.

Midway dodged another bomb and continued sailing backwards away from Enterprise. An arrow then suddenly struck his arm and pierced through.

He looked up and smiled. "Time to disrupt everything."

Midway stuck his hands up in a similar stance to Enterprise. Holding what he believed to be a bow. Energy started crackling at his fingers and took the form of electricity.

The electricity was finally shaped together like an erratic bow.

As his eyes started to glow a violent yellow, the bolt started growing in power and size. He suddenly aimed upwards and released the bolt towards the sky.

The bolt flew up towards the sky then finally blew. The sound of wind parting, the bright flash, it consumed everything. Midway smiled as the entire world felt like it was shaking apart.

"So is your love capable enough against a nuke, Akagi?" He asked himself.

He looked back and started sailing away with the injured Akagi in tow.

The glowing fireball and parting clouds were still in the sky as Kaga woke up and looked around screaming, "Akagi!"

Zuikaku immediately rushed to her aide. "Senpai, you're finally awake."

Kaga looks around once again and asks "Where is Akagi-neesan?"

Hiryuu looks a bit sad and says "Ever since the communication and electronic blackout, we haven't seen her."

"No... no.... that cannot be true." Kaga said as she was starting to tear up. She fell to her knees and started to cry.

The Sakura fleet was retreating away from the battle, unable to continue fighting with the loss of their flagship.

Hiryuu looked over to Zuikaku and says "I worry about Midway. This recent attack has made him more powerful than before."

Takao nods in agreement. "Hai. He used large fighter jets and ultimately annihilated our production ships."

"We're not fit for any battles soon. We need a solution." Takao stated.

Kaga out of view of everyone else simply whispered to herself, "We need Orochi."

Many days later....

Midway walked up the steps of the Sakura shrine with Akagi still on his flight deck. Reaching up to the shrine he knocked on the door. Opening it was a Sakura shrine maiden who simply nodded and let him in.

He walked throughout the shrine as another maiden carried the injured Akagi away. "Arigato." Was all Midway said.

He looked at the walls and sighed, this wasn't the first time he was here. And probably not the last.

He opened the main room door and sitting in the middle was a white haired fox carrier.

Named Shinano.

Midway smiled a little bit and said "Hello, my dear."

Shinano chuckled a bit and said "And hello to you as well, my husband."

Midway smiled lightly and took a sip of tea. He looked up from it and said, "We have much to discuss. About the reenactment."

"What do you mean?"

"The only reason our feelings grew to this point was because your power over dreams also allowed you to view outside the confines of the reenactment." Midway stated.

"But I'm tired of it. I propose we break the cycle once and for all." Midway continued.

"And how do you suggest going about that?" Shinano asked.

"Simple. Next cycle we revive Amagi."
