Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here! back for another story, this one about Azur Lane. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.

There were dozens… Hundreds of ships in the oceans, on a planet where the oceans dominated the planet, the water was an environment humanity had to adapt or die out on.

That was why a new ship was being created, a very modern carrier… Named Leviathan, it was a ship belonging to the brass of an eagle holding country

But like all ships, it… Or he, didn't have its own destiny put together. The ship didn't even have its consciousness.

Being a Nimitz class carrier would do that to someone, the ship still had crew upon it.

"Levitahian wasn't ready for combat… Why was the ship sighted miles away? Miles, outside of where it was ordered to be… Outside of where it was needed to be, captain?" Came another soldier then the captain… Higher then Albern before him. He chuckled and turned towards the admiral in amusement before he turned back towards the rest of his crew.

"Admiral, the Leviathan was needed towards that location, would you want me to point out that the ship saved a few million when we went to war in that area?" Albern asked while he started walking back inside.

"Just because your in charge of this ship, doesn't make you more important then the rest of the fleet… The Leviathan was and is the heart of the fleet." He heard from the Admiral and turned on his heel to face her.

"I know. You also know we're at war, ma'am. I've been a loyal officer in the fleet and I have been for years, you know that I was doing what's right and I have continued to serve for over a year. You know that I would end up doing something like this because I wanted to save lives." Albern stated and started to lock the door.

"You can't keep doing this, the council…" He heard from the Admiral and sighed before he looked at the sky and then closed his eyes and turned back toward the admiral.

"Ma'am, you know more then anything that I'll gladly get in trouble if it means that we're going to keep saving lives." Albern said and he cleared his throat before he continued to speak.

"You want to tell the council, tell them. I've already been demoted for going against orders I don't like." He put in and sighed before locking the door and sighed again while he leaned against the door.

"Man, it isnt like we've saved a entire task group." Albern heard from one of the crew and he chuckled while he pulled his cap down on his head.

"They want model officers. I've been beloved among sailors, but the fleet doesn't care, the brass wants someone who will follow orders. I respect that admiral, but she's probably the only one who seems to value ships and lives over results." Albern stated and walked further into the carrier.

"Things have been getting strange as of late, haven't they?" He heard from the other soldier and sighed.

"War is never straightfoward, soldier. We'd have won the war if we had a understanding of war… Just tell me if anything goes wrong, we're going to have problem soon either way… Either from the brass, or the rest of the factions going to war with us." He ordered and started walking towards the top of the ship where his office would be.

At this rate, he wanted to just lock himself inside and never come out. He rubbed at his eyes and cracked his arms and neck before he started walking up every single step, every single sound on the ship went through his ears.

He hummed while he started to open the door to his office and rubbed at his eyes while he hummed and while he sat down down at his bed and cracked his back while he started walking his eyes back and forth over the ceiling and yawned.

"I can't believe that I keep getting the short end of the stick for something I know in my heart is a good idea. We lose more soldiers and ships, this war will be over sooner or later for us, people will quit and we're going to have to fall back on things sooner or later. We can't chose results over lives."

Author Notes

Phew, first chapter done! I want to apologize for any grammar errors. My computer is glitching at the moment. I also want to point out I'm new to this franchise and trying to figure out what to make the story about. Next chapter will show Albern and Levithan going through a battle that will start the rest of the story. Friday or so, Lighting Wolf out!
