Chapter 3

[Location: Azur Lane, meeting room]

[Time: 1000 Hours]

[Weather: Foggy & light rain shower]

After everyone woke up from their unconscious states, there was a bit of chaos engulfed the whole nation since everyone except for the Head Leaders didn't know what was going on and where they were. Some tried to contact the rest of the UN countries, but the communication systems weren't able to connect outside from the nation like it was cut off.

Luckily, the army and the Head Leaders were able to calm down the population before further chaos would happen. Now, the Head Leaders along with Faction Leaders were having a meeting discussing what happened, Head Leader Diana Mason, told the Faction Leaders that the nation was transported into another world called [Terra]. Of course, they didn't believe it at first, but more evidence proved they are in another world.

There's no communication outside the nation, no satellites in orbit, they lost contact with different naval fleets, bases, and space fleets after the golden light appeared. The Faction Leaders were arguing among themselves about theories to find what caused the transportation while the Head Leaders were listening to them.

"I'm telling you, it's another extraterrestrial race that was responsible for transporting us here!" Faction Leader of the Eagle Union, Iowa said, speaking like she's some kind of conspiracy theorist on aliens. The other Faction Leaders looked at each other with faces of disagreement then looked back at Iowa. "Hey, don't look at me like that!"

"Iowa, what you just said makes no sense. There's no way some extraterrestrial race could just appear out of nowhere without us knowing and then transport us to this unknown earth-like world." Faction Leader of the Ironblood, Bismarck said. "We have many very advanced satellites in our solar system that will let us know if aliens are approaching us. If you're going to say "what if those aliens are so advanced that our satellites can't pick up their presence?" I truly believe you're joking."

"I agree with Bismarck, aside from having many advanced satellites. We also have space ships patrolling the solar system and other galaxies 24/7." Faction Leader of the Sakura Empire, Yamato said calmly. "If that were to happen, no alien race in real life nor fiction are capable of transporting whole nations to different worlds as far as I know."

Other Faction Leaders also said their own theories or roasts on Iowa's alien theory, the Head Leaders just stayed silent as they looked at their own [Panel] for information about world [Terra]. Head Leader, Danielle Summer, sees important information about the world.

[The world of Terra is equal to Earth's history from the era of empires and kingdoms to the early industrial era. However, magic exists in the world of Terra like from fantasy related shows, movies, etc. Many innovative technologies have been made or discovered with magic.]

"Hey guys, check this out." Head Leader, Danielle Summers said, pressing something on her [Panel] to be able to share the information with the other Head Leaders. "I'm not sure if this is something to be worried about or something that can be easily ignored."

Head Leader, Vanessa Yamamoto, rubs her chin before speaking. "I have read so many magic vs science novels and I can guarantee that this is something no need to worry about!" She said full of confidence. However, the other Head Leaders think otherwise.

"Hang on there, Van. You can't just guarantee that without learning more about what kind of magic we are facing." Head Leader, Diana Mason replied, making Vanessa and the two other Head Leaders pay attention to Diana. "What if we face some type of magic that can wipe out a whole army? Remember that most of our vehicles are made of Vibranium which is nearly ineffective to magic. Magic isn't some kind of weapon that can't be easily tracked unless the magic requires something like a large magic circle."

Vanessa was about to say a counter argument, but she thinks it more deeply before realizing that she's on the wrong. "Fine, I guess you're right." She said,

Head Leader, Ivan Reznov, raised his hand making everyone inside the meeting room to be quiet as he stood up before speaking. "Listen everyone, I want the nation to be at full alert. Ships and aircrafts patrolling 24/7." He said, pressing something on the table to where a holographic panel appeared with a beautiful woman. "Alex, tell the crew of 3 dreadnought-class to load their ships with satellites and launch them to space, I want a full map of the world."

"{Right away sir.}" Alex replied as the holographic panel disappeared, Ivan looked at everyone. "All of you are dismissed."

[Location: 60 kilometers from Azur Lane]

[Time: 1300 Hours]

[Weather: Foggy]

On the sea, a lone late 19th to early 20th century design warship can be seen barely able to sail properly because it heavily damaged, massive holes on its hull and superstructure, raging fires on its decks and inside the ship, sailors trying to put out the fire or lying on the ground being treated by doctors and nurses or dead. The ship has seen better days than this.

Inside the bridge of the ship was a woman wearing a captain's uniform, along with an older man wearing the same outfit getting their wounds treated by the doctor. "That should be good enough, sorry captain Faith, medical supplies on the ship are running really low." The doctor said, the woman just waved her hand to the doctor. "It's fine doc, the reason why the medical supplies are running low is because I was naive and tried to attack that pirate warship." Captain Faith said, fixing her uniform.

"But, how did those pirates manage to acquire a well-armed and armored cruiser?" The older man beside Captain Faith said. "I don't know, Vice-cap Jackson, but we should head home or an allied port so we could let our wounded men get proper medical attention and exit from this dense fog, we might not know are lurking with us." Captain Faith responded.

Out of nowhere, multiple bright fog spot lights appeared on the ship from both port and starboard sides. The sailors on the ship were immediately startled and already thinking "have they been discovered by two enemy/ally warships? Are they going to die?" So many questions, but the answer will soon appear.

"{Unknown vessel, you have entered Azur Lane Federation waters, please raise a white flag to let us know you're not a hostile or we are forced to fire upon.}"
