A fleet of Iron Blood kansen is sailing through the open ocean consisting of 3 destroyers, 2 heavy cruisers, a battleship, and 2 aircraft carriers. They are
Z1 Leberecht Maass
Z2 Georg Thiele
Z23
Admiral Hipper
Prinz Eugen
Tirpitz
August Von Parseval
Jade
The sound of waves can be heard clearly until
Z1: How long are we supposed to sail, Fraulein Tirpitz?
Tirpitz: Just continue sailing
Z1: I'm bored
Z23: When you will ever stop complaining?
Z1: That's just my nature
Jade: Then, do you want to play a game with me, Z1?
Z1: What is it?
Jade: I had a few old planes that needed to be thrown away. Try to shoot them as fast as you can
Z1: Bring it on!
Jade: Alright! Here I go!
Jade launched several Bf109s and Z1 started firing her anti-aircraft gun.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang
A few of the planes were shot down but one managed to escape
Jade: Hahahahaha. You lost!
Z1: Grrrr. One more time!
Jade: You got it!
Before Jade can launch her aircraft,
BOOM
Everyone: Huh?!
The single Bf109 was shot down before multiple Siren jets emerged from multiple portals followed by tonnes of Siren ships.
Hipper: Damn it! Now both of you have exposed our location!
Eugen: This is troublesome
Z2: Why do even I have a sister like you?
Z23: *sigh*
August: Should we evade or go through them?
Tirpitz: Z1, Z2, and Z23 will lead the charge followed by Hipper and Eugen. I will provide fire support while August and Jade will use their aircraft!
Everyone: Roger!
Tirpitz: Commerce operation!
The Z destroyer rushes toward the Siren fleet and fires its guns and torpedoes making a breakthrough with Hipper and Eugen shooting at their flanks to avoid encirclement. Tirpitz fires her main obliterating the Siren battleship while Jade launches her Bf109 and Ju87 Stuka and August launches a more sophisticated Me262 fighter jet to regain air superiority. Things were looking great until
1 hour later
Z1: I'm out of torpedoes!
Z23: Same as me!
Z2: Already out half an hour ago
Hipper: Do you girls spam fire your torpedoes?!
Z1: It's effective!
Eugen: The problem right now is we are being surrounded and need a breakthrough
Z23: Where is our aircraft?!
Jade: Please destroy those anti-aircraft cruisers! My Bf109 is being shredded to pieces!
August: My Me262 is not doing well and is being overwhelmed!
Z23: Fraulein Tirpitz! Order?!
Tirpitz: Tch! Send a SOS signal!
Eugen: You sure? Wouldn't our location be exposed to Azur Lane?
Tirpitz: Better than being sunk by Siren
Eugen: If you say so
Eugen then let out an SOS signal hopping for any help to arrive
Meanwhile
A lone aircraft carrier is sailing through the open ocean with its Kansen singing on the deck
???: ~Oh I got a brand new shiny helmet and a pair of kinky boots~
~I got a lovely new flak jacket and a lovely khaki suit~
~And went we go on night patrol we hold each other's hand~
~We are the British army and we here- eh? What's this?
The kansen checks its radar
???: An SOS signal? Looks like some baboons need to be rescued
The kansen immediately launch a two-engine aircraft
???: Be my eyes in the skies, Uhu
Meanwhile, the Iron Blood fleet
Z2: My magazine is flooding... which is quite bad
Z1: What are you all afraid of?!
Jade: Why'd this have happened to me?!
August: It too soon to start mourning for me
The four of them had been seriously damaged by Siren while the rest of them were trying their best
Hipper: If continue like this we will be kaput!
Z23: We're already kaput!
Eugen: Order, Fraulein Tirpitz?
Before Tirpitz can decide anything
Fwoooosshhh
Brrrrttttt
Multiple Me262 descend from the cloud and ambush the Siren jet quickly gaining air superiority.
*Stuka siren sound*
Stuka's also emerge from the cloud and release their payload
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
As many Siren ships were destroyed, Z23 spotted a gap
Z23: Fraulein Tirpitz! There's a gap!
Tirpitz: Lead the way, Z23!
They quickly slip through the gap while the planes continue plundering the Siren fleet. As they managed to sail away, Hipper ask
Hipper: Are those planes yours, August?! Jade?!
August: Mine is already kaput!
Jade: I don't have jets!
Eugen: Save the question later. Let's get far away before we treat the wounded
As they sailed further from the crippled Siren fleet, a single two-engine plane was still observing them
???: Looks like they need help. Here I come
1 hour later
Z1, Z2, August, and Jade ships are being towed by Hipper and Eugen while their injuries are being treated in Tirpitz med bay
Z1: Ouch! That hurts!
Z23: Stop moving! Let me help you!
Z2: Stop being a baby, sis
Z1: It really hurts!
Tirpitz just sighed seeing their situation. With their current situation, they can't continue their mission. Turning back to their water will also be troublesome as their SOS signal may attract Azur Lane. Suddenly
Hipper: Alarm! Unknown ship spotted!
Tirpitz quickly went to the bridge and saw Hipper and Eugen observing the unknown ship with their binocular. Eugen handed her binoculars toward Tirpitz and she used it
Hipper: A lone aircraft carrier is sailing towards us
Tirpitz: Any idea whose carrier is that?
Hipper looks toward Eugen who just smiles. Hipper let out a sigh and said
Hipper: Has Fraulein Tirpitz been informed about our carrier in this water?
Tirpitz: No. Only our fleet is in this water. Why?
Hipper: That carrier had an Iron Blood emblem
Tirpitz: ....... Try to establish radio contact
Eugen: You sure? It could be an Azur Lane trick
Tirpitz: Radio contact with that ship
Hipper and Eugen looked at each other before Eugen went toward the radio and started contacting the lone carrier
Eugen: Dear unknown carrier! Please identify yourself or not, you will be shot!
No response. Eugen repeated the message a few more times before the carrier turned into mental cubes and a kansen could be seen sailing toward them.
Fwoossshhh
A few Me262 flew above their head and started circling them. Moments later
???: Greetings ladies!
One of the Me262 had a loudspeaker attached to it. The voice continues
???: That's not the way you greet your savior. Please come to the deck. I meant no harm
The three of them look at each other and Eugen replies through the radio
Eugen: Please identify yourself
???: Like I said, greet me at the deck
Eugen: Identity yourself
???: Urgh. You're no fun. Fine just, wait a moment
Fwoosshh
The Me262 deploys a smoke screen around the ship limiting their visibility. Once the smoke disperses, a kansen can be seen standing in front of Tirpitz's main gun. Their jaw drops as they see that the kansen is a male!
Flieger: Greetings Ladies! I'm KMS Flieger! The second ship of August Von Parseval class aircraft carrier! Looks like this fleet is in bad condition. Need any help?
Tirpitz is the first one to walk to the deck followed by Hipper and Eugen. Once they were in front of Flieger, Tirpitz ask
Tirpitz: You, a male?!
Flieger: Let's just say I'm a special case
Eugen: You, not a spy?
Flieger: Why would I? My loyalty is to Iron Blood. Hail Iron Blood!
Hipper: You're August brother?
Flieger: Yes I am. Where is she?
Eugen: In the med bay. Want to have a look?
Flieger: No need. It's better that way
Suddenly
August: Is..... That is what I think it is?
They looked towards the bridge and saw August walking towards them with the help of Z23
Hipper: What are you doing here?! You should rest!
August: Is that, my little brother?
Flieger: Wow! You look like hell sis!
He walks toward them and said
Flieger: I'll take it from here
Flieger helped August to walk and was asked
August: Where do you go?
Flieger: Just around this water. Why?
August: Well, in that case.*pulls Flieger's ears*
Flieger: Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch! Sis that hurts!
August: Do you know how worried I am when you are not by my side?
Flieger: That's because your hug will suffocate me every time I try to sleep!
As both of them continue to argue, Hipper ask
Hipper: Is this good, Fraulein Tirpitz?
Tirpitz: We'll find it out later
Eugen: By the way, August. Why have we never heard of him?
August: He is born from a project that used a black mental cube captured from the Siren. To avoid being known to the public, only I was told about his existence *pulling Flieger's cheeks*
Hipper: How long you had been hiding him?
August: A few months
Tirpitz: Looks like we need to prepare a room for Flieger to stay
Flieger: Please, Fraulein Tirpitz! I don't want to have the same room with my sister!
Tirpitz: What do you mean by that? Every kansen in the same class will share the same room
Flieger: That's the main reason why I ran away from base!
Tirpitz/Hipper/Eugen: Eh?
August: *pulls Flieger's cheek harder*
Flieger: Huuuurrrrttttt!!!!!!
Hipper: Does he already have a room at the base?
August: He does. He's been living in the base since a few months ago before ran away
Eugen: Why we never saw him?
August: That's because of his ability
Tirpitz: Ability?
Flieger: Ja! I can turn invisible!
Hipper: Can you show us?
Flieger: What's the point if my stupid sister is still holding me?!
The three of them just watch as Flieger gets bullied by August while continuing sailing the open ocean. Eugen then said
Eugen: How about this, Fraulein Tirpitz? Me and Z23 will continue the mission while the rest can retreat to base
Tirpitz: Would that be enough?
Eugen: The Sakura's will be there
Tirpitz: Proceed
Eugen: Yes, Fraulein Tirpitz
Flieger: Take me with you!!!
