A Show of Power
*Gasp!*
Once again, Enterprise was woken from a nightmare.
Enterprise: No...that was no nightmare...a message
She quickly dressed herself and made her way to the Grand hall, the news she had would be incredibly beneficial.
——
*SLAM*
Q.E: AAAAHHH!!
Bismarck: Good lord! Enterprise?!
Enterprise: I need to say something
Q.E: You could have came in quietly!
Enterprise: It's related to the threat that attacked Seattle
...
Bismarck: That's good, but how did you come across this?
Enterprise: It was...in my dreams
Q.E: Really? You're imagining our opponents now?
Nagato: Elizabeth, she isn't lying, she must of had a vision
Enterprise: It was through my nightmare, I was in the burning city, than it flashed to a dock, where Iowa was falling off
Nagato: Enterprise...we know you miss her bu-
Enterprise: I'm not done! She fell and I felt my surroundings change, I was on a tower on a bright beautiful day, and then...
Bismarck: Then?
Enterprise: Iowa started to choke me out
Bismarck: Pardon?
Enterprise: In the city, I found a survivor when we went to check, and she was with a white haired woman, her eyes were shining gold, and she left through a portal
Elizabeth: So it's a siren?!
Enterprise: No, that was Iowa
...
Nagato: But...she's dead
Enterprise: It seems even death can't hold her down
Elizabeth: My god...twice she survived an execution, and twice she was backstabbed by her friends and family
Enterprise: That's not all, she was the woman choking me out in my dreams, but I got through to her, her eyes turn back to their Pink and she looked to be fighting whatever was controlling her body...but failed
Nagato: What happened then?
Enterprise: I thought she was freed, and embraced her, then she thrust her arm through by stomach...and before I passed out, she told me to send a message to the entire world
Q.E: And...*gulp* t-that message was?
Enterprise: The Abyssal fleet will show us who truly owns the planet
...
Bismarck: I cant believe this...I don't WANT to believe this
Nagato: Same as I, but she is definitely telling the truth
Elizabeth said nothing
Enterprise: What are we going to do? She definitely changed, and if she can invade dreams, what else?
Bismarck: She must have come across something to gain such power
Nagato: Yes...but what?
Enterprise: Whatever it is, we need to warn the world about this, keeping them in the dark about a threat that wishes to dominate them is asking for more deaths
Bismarck: You're right, lets get on that
—————
Unbeknownst to the 4 leaders, Iowa was watching them through her orb, which she named Seer.
Iowa: *soft chuckling* They are quite intuitive, they knew I have plenty of abilities, yet they did pinpoint several of them
She raised Seer and put it off to the side, letting it levitate near the throne.
Iowa: I need something to send a message...but how...
She looked over to Seer, changing the perspective to an overhead view of Azur lane.
Iowa looks into it for a few moments, before she cracks a devilish smile.
Iowa: I know just what to do...
—————
Back in the Azur lane base, 4 girls are relaxing in the park, laid out on the grass completely zoned out.
This is the Starter Squad; Ayanami, Laffey, Javelin, and Z23.
Javelin: To think that Iowa is our enemy now
Z23: It pains me too, I remember our cooking sessions
Laffey: She always gave Laffey the best cola
Ayanami: Yeah...she was there for everyone, and we turn our backs on her when she needed us
Javelin: Two times that happened...I wish we could go back in time and fix that
Z23: I wish so too
...
Javelin: Hey...do you hear that?
Z23: Hm? Hear what?
Javelin: I though I heard something from the trees
She looked over to a patch of trees, the others followed her gaze.
Ayanami: There's nothing there
Laffey: Laffey agrees with her
Javelin: I could have sworn I heard something...I'm gonna check just in case
She went into the trees and vanished in the growth.
Z23: Do you think she'll find anything?
Ayanami: I don't know, I don't think it's something important
Soon enough, she left the tree line.
Z23: Did you find anything?
Javelin: No, I thought it was something special, but it was just a loud bird
Laffey: Laffey hopes the bird will be quiet
Javelin: *sweatdrops* It's just so you could sleep huh?
Laffey: Mhm..
Javelin: I better get going anyway, I have something to do
Z23: Alright then, see you later
Ayanami: Goodbye
Laffey: *sleeping*
Javelin left the group and exited the park, after leaving she looks to the Grand hall.
Javelin: Are they still in there? They've been in there for hours now...
...
——
Inside the room, the 4 are still trying to come up with an idea to repel and/or defeat this new threat to them.
So far...nothing
Enterprise: *sigh* What are we going to do?
Bismarck: We know she has an army, and if we believe they are like us, than this could be dealt with
Nagato: But she has powers as well, and we don't know the extent of them
...
Q.E: Do you...think she'll be up for an alliance?
Enterprise: I don't think so
Bismarck: That's obvious
?: Actually...
They look over to the door, and they see Javelin.
Javelin: I think she might be trying to do something
Q.E: Javelin? What are you getting at?
Javelin: I mean, think about it, if she truly is trying to kill us, don't you think she might have already done so?
Nagato: What do you mean?
Javelin: If she was in Enterprise's dream, and can teleport...don't you think she has other powers?
Q.E: You...have a point there
Bismarck: But if she isn't trying to kill us, then what is she doing?
...
Enterprise: Javelin
Javelin: Yes?
Enterprise:...how did you know she was in my dreams?
The other 3 leaders' eyes widen in realization, and they turn towards Javelin.
Bismarck: She's right, how do you know?!
Q.E: Were you eavesdropping?!
Nagato: If she was, we would have noticed by now
Enterprise: Care to explain then?
Javelin:...
Q.E: Javelin, explain now!
Javelin kept her head down, the light didn't shine on her face.
Enterprise: Javelin...how. Did. You. Know.
Javelin didn't respond, she just started to laugh, not hard laughter, just quiet giggling. The leaders were unnerved by this.
Q.E: Javelin? Are you ok?
Javelin: Hmph, of course I am...
She looks up, revealing golden eyes.
Javelin: I'm completely fine~
Nagato: Wait! Her eyes!
Bismarck: Javelin, you're eyes are golden!
Javelin: Are they? I think they're fine
Enterprise: No...you're not Javelin
Javelin?: What do you mean Enterprise?
Enterprise: God damnit Iowa! Why and how are you here?!
The others look at Enterprise in shock, before they look back to Javelin.
Javelin?: Well, cat's out of the bag
When she finished saying that, a blue ghost like figure stepped out of Javelin. When it fully came out, Javelin fell backwards unconscious.
The figure fully materialized, revealing Iowa herself.
Iowa: I knew you'd be able to get it. Then again, you have been in a similar situation before with Code G
Enterprise: How-
Iowa: How did I know that? Hehehehe~
She teleported right to Enterprise and placed her finger on her lips.
Iowa: That's my. Little. Secret~
Bismarck tried to attack her since she was so close, but she teleported back to her original spot.
Bismarck: Who do you think you are to come back here after what you've done?!
Iowa: Me? I'm Iowa, once a proud battleship, now the queen of the deep ocean. With some pretty fancy powers to boot
Bismarck: Don't play coy with me!
Enterprise: Bismarck, calm down
Bismarck: Her order killed thousands of people!
Enterprise: And you think pissing her off is a good idea?!
Iowa: Listen to her Bismarck, what do you think you can do to me?
Bismarck: Rip you in half is what!
Iowa: And how do you suppose you'd do it?
Enterprise: Enough! Iowa, why are you here anyway?
Iowa: Just to demonstrate just how little you can hide from me...to show you that there is no running from us
Enterprise: You did this to mock our power...
Iowa: You assumed that, not me
Q.E: Iowa, just what the hell happened to you?!
Iowa: Oh you know, a deep ocean dive does wonders to a broken mind!
Nagato: You've gone completely insane
Iowa: And who's to blame...
...
Iowa: Thought so
She turned away and opened a portal.
Iowa: Now then, I should get going, my little one is waiting for me
Enterprise: Little one?!
She sprang up from her seat before she realized what she was doing, Iowa just turned her gaze to her, not moving her head in the slightest.
Iowa: Oh relax Enty,you're still my adorable little sister~
Iowa snapped her fingers and teleported Enterprise to her.
Enterprise: Wha-?!
She then brought her in a hug.
Iowa: Even after all that has happened, even after you shot me in the back...you will always have a place at my side
She released Enterprise and walked through the portal, closing it behind her.
Enterprise just stood there, taking in what just happened.
Q.E: Enterprise!
Enterprise:...Yes?
Q.E: Are you seriously thinking about what she said?! She's killed innocent people!
Enterprise: I know, just shocked she still sees me as her sister
Bismarck: *sigh* I need a drink
Nagato: So do I
Javelin: Uggh...what happened?
Enterprise/Q.E/Bismarck/Nagato:
A lot
