Chereads / Azur Lane: The Ocean of Stars / Chapter 20 - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 - Chapter 20

The four shipgirls stepped out of the elevator, and set foot on the floor of the large structure that had literally nothing, but few things. Two lines of floating torch-like are hovering beside a long red bright carpet that starts from the near of the elevator to the end where a beautiful blonde woman sits down on a throne behind the large window that expands more in a circular design. Beside the blonde woman on the throne was another similar looking blonde woman, but she seemed to be much younger than the woman on the throne.

Yamato takes a deep breath, and exhales before starts to approach the two women, who are quite similar to female humans, but they were clearly different from humans since in actuality the two women don't have any human origins. Shinano, and Andromeda were a bit hesitant to follow Yamato unlike Domelaze because she followed suit as well. They eventually followed.

When Yamato reached the end of the red carpet which was near the woman on the throne, she immediately fell down on one knee, and bowed her head down to show respect. Domelaze did the same as well, and the two other shipgirls copied them since they now know that the woman on the throne was a powerful ruler of this world.

"Please raise." The woman on the throne said with a gentle voice that can make someone feel warm.

The four shipgirls stood up straight, the woman on the throne smiled as she saw Yamato.

"It has been a while, Yamato." The woman said.

"Yes, Queen Starsha." Yamato replied. "Before we talk, I would like to apologize for breaking the promise of stopping the usage of wave motion technology as weapons of mass destruction. My captain had no control over his superio-"

"It is fine, Yamato." Queen Starsha said, cutting the shipgirl off. "It was a mere promise, and not a treaty of any kind. You shouldn't take the blame or place the blame on others."

"Yes, Queen Starsha. Thank you for understanding." Yamato said.

"Who is the person, sister is talking to?" Shinano leaned, and whispered.

"That's Queen Starsha Iscandar, the ruler of this world and she is one of the last surviving members of her race." Andromeda replied. "Beside her is the third princess, Yurisha Iscandar."

"What happened to the second princess?" Shinano asked.

"She died… Her name was Sasha Iscandar, she was the one who brought the wave motion core for mother's ship's engine." Andromeda said.

Shinano didn't ask further questions as she went back to original position, and stayed silent. Queen Starsha changed her focus on the sister, and daughter of Yamato, looking at them with curiosity and interest.

"Are they your sister, and friend?" Queen Starsha asked as Yamato looked behind her, and looked back at the Queen.

"Yes, and no. The left is my third and youngest sister, Shinano and on the right is my daughter Andromeda. A new generation of wave motion powered battleships." Yamato said.

"I see…" Queen Starsha said, changing her focus to Domelaze. "Domelaze, how is your leader? I hope Dessler is doing well these days."

"He's doing fine, your highness! Taking good care of the Garmillas citizens." Domelaze said, full of energy, yet she was a bit nervous.

"Umm, Queen Starsha, what's the reason you summoned me via my dreams?" Yamato asked.

"[The hell? What is my sister talking about? I thought we were going on a vacation/adventure?]" Shinano thought.

"Yes… I summoned you because I wanted to help you, and humanity against this alien race you call the "Sirens". You see, I saw a vision, a vision where the last planet of humanity. Earth was destroyed with a powerful weapon." Queen Starsha said as she stood up from her throne, and walked down. "I offer four gifts for you, your sister, your daughter, and for humanity."

A bright light blinded the four shipgirls out of nowhere, but then the light slowly fades away to reveal some kind of device being held by Queen Starsha.

"This is a wave motion shield like no other, this shield is capable of expanding for lights, and able to withstand powerful weapons. I hope it is enough to stop whatever weapon the Sirens have that can destroy worlds." Queen Starsha said, giving the device to Yamato.

"Thank you, Queen Starsha." Yamato said, bowing down. "I can't wait to tell Hubby about this."

"Excuse me, Queen Starsha, not to be rude or anything, but what about the three remaining gifts?" Andromeda asked.

"Please take a look outside of the window to see the three remaining gifts." Queen Starsha said.

The three shipgirls looked outside the window to see their ships hovering by themselves without being controlled by their owners. Shinano was about to ask how her ship was hovering without getting controlled by her, but bright golden lights interrupted her before she could speak. She, and the two watched as their ships were engulfed by bright golden glows.

The golden glow lasted for a few moments until it slowly fades away to reveal the ships of the three shipgirls.

"Holy crap…" Andromeda said.

Their ships got upgraded, Yamato's ship was more longer and had more guns added on the bow, stern, and even underneath the ship, Andromeda's ship got the same treatment as her mother's ship, but she got two more guns added on the sides, and lastly, Shinano, her ship got longer, maybe around 820 meters, her ship has its own twin barrel wave motion gun like Andromeda.

"I have added and replaced weapons on your ships, and also I changed your engines into hyper wave motion engines. It will allow you three to travel 250 thousand light years in a blink of an eye, and enter subspace." Queen Starsha said.

"Is that my very own wave motion gun like my niece, and sister?" Shinano asked.

"Yes." Queen Starsha replied.

"But, I thought you disliked using wave motion technology as weapons since it reminded you of your race's past?" Yamato asked.

"My sister, and I discussed this with each other. It doesn't matter that the promise was broken between your captain, and with my sister. Humanity is fighting an endless space warfare with the Sirens." Yurisha said. "It has to end as soon as possible to prevent further bloodshed."

"Yes, what Yurisha said was right. We wanted to prevent more bloodshed from happening." Queen Starsha said.

"I see…" Yamato replied. "Thank you again for aiding us, I promise to repay this gift in the near future."

[Timeskip]

[Location: Azur Lane Space Force Naval Base, docks]

[Time: 1000 Hours]

It's been already 2 weeks since Yamato, Shinano, and Andromeda departed to whatever paradise world that Yamato planned to go to. Admiral Justin was on the docks with a fishing pole patiently waiting for his lunch to arrive to eat the fishing hook with some bait on it. As he sat there, and waited. He seemed to notice something in the distance.

Using some kind of advanced contact lens on his right eye, that allows him to see far distances and see small things like bacteria. Admiral Justin was able to see three bright lights, they were golden in color and the lights quickly disappeared in a matter of seconds. What surfaced from where the lights appeared were the three newly upgraded space warships with all their glory.

"Looks like they are back…" Justin muttered, taking a closer look at the warships. "It seems that they have gotten new upgrades on their ships."
