That's when Kako arrives to bring more bad news to the empire.
Kako: Reporting, communications from the battleship Wales have been intercepted, they have found us, it seems that there is an enemy submarine near our fleet.
Meanwhile, the girls from Azur Lane are already receiving the report from Columbia SS, and Helena reports to Wales.
Helena: The Columbia submarine has informed us that they have found the location of the empire.
Upon receiving the report, the girls of the Cleveland class breathed a sigh of relief to know that Columbia SS is still in perfect condition and that she has discovered the enemy.
Wales: Send a message ordering to monitor the enemy's movements and refrain from attacking the enemy.
Helena: Understood.
Cleveland: (Worried) Do we have to do it?
Wales: Yes, the power of the sirens they control is very dangerous. If we let them go, the situation could worsen.
Hornet: There is no other way, this is war.
On the other hand, the Red Axis fleet is preparing to withdraw.
Hiryuu: It seems like they won't let us go easily.
Soryuu: We have no choice but to retreat, with our current power we cannot confront Azur Lane.
Hiryuu: (Gets ready to fight) Soryuu-sama, please order the retreat, I will take care of Azur Lane.
Zuikaku: No, I will be the rear guard.
Everyone looks at Zuikaku very surprised because no one expected her to volunteer.
Shokaku: (Worried) Zuikaku?
Soryuu: There's no way I'll let you do that! You're too young to do this!
Shokaku: This is not something you should feel responsible for.
Zuikaku: Sister, I truly understand how Kaga feels. I believe that if I were to lose you, I would also be shattered just like her.
Shokaku sighs and she gives up.
Shokaku: Alright, in that case I'll go with you to cover your back.
Soryuu: (Worried) It's okay, but don't overdo it. If you can't handle the enemy, please retreat.
The girls nod, then they prepare to intercept the enemy, meanwhile many of Zuikaku and Shokaku's friends are very worried about them.
Zuikaku: It's okay! I'm fine! I can do it, I'm a lucky ship!
Shokaku: Please take care.
After saying goodbye, they separate from the fleet and sail in the opposite direction of the fleet while all the empire's ships retreat. On the other hand, Ayanami doesn't know what to do, but she feels that she must help the fifth division, so she goes to help.
The aircraft carriers of the Shokaku class are the fastest ships in the world, with a speed record of over 40 knots in critical situations. They quickly approached the Azur Lane fleet that came to stop this war once and for all and make all the empire's kansen prisoners of war.
BAM! BAM!
With the firing of Wales' cannons, the battle began. Zuikaku dodges Wales' projectiles while Wales only analyzes her enemy. Then, Zuikaku fires at Wales and she jumps to avoid the attack.
On the other hand, two high-ranking sirens are conversing among themselves, they are watching the battle from a distant location away from the Red Axis and Azur Lane fleets.
Tester: The human race continues to entertain me, they hate war, yet they fight among themselves. Their contradictions are incorrigible.
Observer: They are a mirror that reflects the thoughts and history of humans, the conflict of humanity, yes... war never changes regardless of the era.
At that moment, Tester realizes that Observer is carrying something extra in its tentacles.
Tester: What is that? Why did you pick it up?
Observer: Her? Oh, she can still be useful to us, like, for example, making the conflict between factions more cruel and preventing Azur Lane and Red Axis from making peace.
Tester: We have to use it now, we haven't tested it yet, if this gets out of control it will be counterproductive.
Observer: It is called a test or experiment for a reason. If everything goes well, the black mental cube will acquire more energy and information to feed Orochi.
Tester: Yes, finally.
Observer: Yes, Orochi is going to awaken.
