Azur Lane naval base. Research Hall.

"This experiment definitely will prove what's the secret behind these cubes, nya~."

"That stupid cat… I bet, this whole experiment is a waste of time and material…"

"Oh, Shiranui is so negative all the time, nya. I'm sure, everything will work out well, so do not worry, nya."

"You should hope everything will be alright, Akashi. You'll have some major problems if this ends like the incident with Little Bel and the others. The commander knows about what you want to try today and he sent his secretary to watch over your little experiment."

When Akashi heard these words, she started to shiver in fear, since she already knew who is Commanders secretary this week.

"O-oh… nyo. Y-y-you... m-mean that cra-… you mean R-" Akashi couldn't even end her sentence as she felt arms wrapping around her from behind.

"Hello Akashi, you're just too cute!" Akashi wasn't able to say anything. Her face was pressed completely into Roon's breasts while she squeezed Akashi like a lemon. Akashi's feet couldn't even reach the ground anymore.

"Can we just start already?" asked Shiranui with a very annoyed look on her face.

"Shiranuiii!" Roon let go of Akashi and ran to Shiranui. "You need a hug, too!" Akashi, who almost fainted during that attack, was kneeling on the ground gasping for air.

"Could you just not?" Shiranui knew that this request wouldn't stop Roon anyways.

"But you look so annoyed. I just have to cheer you up a bit."

"You won't achieve that by breaking my bones." Roon slightly disappointed stopped her actions and looked around the laboratory.

"So what are we gonna do today?"

"Ask that damn cat. It's her experiment. I'm just here to watch her fail or something."

Akashi stood up and started to explain.

"We want to open a wisdom cube today with this new laser, nya. Commander paid a lot for a bigger laser, so something like the incident with Little Bel and the others will not happen again, nya." Akashi glanced over to Shiranui, who looked away annoyed from Akashi and commented that with "We will see…"

"Everything is prepared, nya. Let's start, nya." Without hesitation Akashi ran to the control panel of the laser and started it. A huge beam of light appeared, lightening the whole room. While the laser was working its way through the wisdom cube, the machinery was so extremely loud that nobody could hear what the others said.

Suddenly the girls lost their grip to the ground as everything went white around them. And before anyone was able to think about what the hell just happened, they landed on the ground.

The three girls needed a few seconds to come back to consciousness

"Ah… that was painful", said Shiranui who lost the annoyed look on her face immediately.

"Nyooo… what happened, nya?" Akashi was rubbing her eyes before she could see what was around her.

"Where are we?!" Roon stood up and started to look around. "It's so high."

"I would state, we're on the top of a skyscraper", said Shiranui unimpressed.

"Is this some kind of Mirror Sea?! If there are Sirens around, it will be a pleasure to annihilate all of them." While saying that Roon began to smile creepily which was more unsettling to Akashi than the possibility of meeting a Siren.

"Th-this is bad, n-nya…" Akashi was shaking.

"That is all this damn cat's fault."

"Don't worry. Roon is here and will kill anyone that crosses our way back home." Shiranui and Akashi knew that Roon was a ticking time bomb.

"This crazy lady and a stupid cat. And possibly a long way home. Why did I decide to watch her experiment. I don't care about that cat anyways… We have to find the way back fast. I can't endure these people for too long…"

"There is a door. I suggest that useless cat opens it and watches out for some enemies."

"N-nya? Why me?"

"You brought us in this situation in the first place."

"No. Let me do it. I haven't seen a Siren in a long time." Akashi had no objections.

"Hmph, fine." Shiranui accepted that with a disappointed glance to Akashi. Roon went to the door and pressed down the lever.

"Oh, seems like it's a little bit jammed." A few moments later the door wasn't just open, it was completely teared out of the wall.

"Whoops", said Roon with a grin.

"Scary, nya", Akashi quietly commented.

"What might be at the end of these stairs? Let's find it out!" Roon gave the others no time to think of what might wait for them down there as she excitedly almost ran down these stairs. Akashi and Shiranui slowly followed. One floor lower the two girls were able to catch up to Roon, since she was waiting in front of a door.

"Should we go through this door or continue going down these stairs."

"U-uh nya… there might be enemies, nya", Akashi whispered.

"Understood!" Having said that Roon tried to open the door. "Jammed? Again? What's wrong with these doors? You will pay!" A few moments later a certain door was flying through the hallway. "Hehe, now it won't bother me anymore. Never again."

Their actions haven't been unnoticed. A young man who just left his apartment looked with incredulous eyes over to this group of girls as he was trying to figure out what was just happening.

"A… human?" said Roon with a sad expression on her face since she was hoping to find enemies.

"What?" The young man still couldn't believe his eyes even though the three girls were only five meters away from him.

"What is this? Who are you?" The man asked confused.

"What should we do now, nya?" Ignoring that guy's question completely Akashi tried to hide behind Roon since she did not know how to react.

"I want to know where the enemies are hiding. Tell me now!"

"Enemies? I don't understand."

"He is one of them!" The brown-haired girl screamed as she went towards the young man who began to understand the dangerous situation he was in.

"Roon, stop!" Shiranui interrupted. "Look at him. There is no way he could be a Siren."

"Y-yes! That girl's right."

"Besides, he looks so weak. He can't be dangerous."

"Righ-... wait what?"

"Okay Shiranui. You might be right." Roon almost wrapped her hands around that man's neck to strangle him.

"That was close. So what is your name, weak human?"

"No need to stress this... My name is Will." The young man said.

"I am Roon. That girl with these bunny ears is Shiranui and the little girl with green hair is Akashi."

"Nya?" Akashi looked around Roon.

"Aaahh! What is this?"

"Me, nya?" Akashi asked confused.

"Th-that on your head! Are these…"

"My ears, nya?" Akashi touched her ears to see if there was something wrong with them. "Everything okay, nya."

"Huh? Ears ain't supposed to be there, as long as you're not a dog or something…" Will said half-joking.

"I'm a cat, nya!"

"I'm not sure anymore if that's a joke."

"Enough already!" Shiranui interrupted again. "We need to get home. Do you know the way to Azur Lane naval base?"

"Azur… what? Sorry, I don't know anything about military or whatever you're talking about."

"Are these girls part of a military experiment that went wrong. Now that I think about it, this could explain the weird looks they have and why they were able to destroy that door like it was nothing." Will thought.

"Could you at least tell us where we are right now?" Shiranui was getting impatient.

"You're in New York City."

"Wait a minute, we're in NY City? But it doesn't look destroyed at all." Shiranui was wondering.

"Did we jumped back in time?!"

"Is this even possible, nya?"

"Oh, you damn cat! Your experiment kicked us back in time!"

"That would explain why I cannot get a signal from Azur Lane."

"Or maybe it could be that we fell into another world." Shiranui continued calmly. "Either way, it definitely won't be easy to get back home."

"This is bad, nya."

"You useless cat. It's still your fault we are in this situation right now."

Will couldn't follow this conversation at all, though he tried to think of a way to help these girls. "You can come into my apartment. I have a computer if you need some ideas…" he said that, but he knew there wouldn't be that much help on the internet. Akashi and Shiranui kept quiet, just Roon agreed and went straight into Will's apartment followed by Akashi and Shiranui.
