As every Kansen fought for their lives. One in particular caught something else in the sky just by the edge of her vision.

"What is it this time!?" Elizabeth yelled as she raised her cannons up high, aiming at the approaching ball of flames.

Her actions didn't go unnoticed as a few Kansen also aimed their cannons to aim. Only for Observer to stop them.

"Hold it, I do not think it's hostile." She replied, moving strangely as her frown slowly upturned.

"What do you mean it's not hostile!? It's a goddamn fireball that is directly heading for us!" Elizabeth roared as she questioned the siren.

"I think it's better you all take a closer look at what it is." Her reply made them think twice before squinting their eyes at the flaming object.

Once they did, they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Is that?-" before Hipper could continue speaking. The flaming ball sped up, changed course, and crashed directly in the middle of a group of Nagas.

The crash caused both sides to stop in their tracks as they observed the crater. The Nagas however, slowly started backing off in fear, as they could sense their upcoming demise.

A hand suddenly raised and latched onto the edge of the crater, and slowly pulled the person behind it.

*Insert OPM guitar riff*

What they saw next brought beaming smiles onto their faces.

From the crater, emerged the person they placed their trust upon. Haise, has finally returned. Their Commander... Their Hero.

"HAHA! That was a rough landing and a half... Great, my outfit is dirty. This is going to take a while to clean." He commented, patting off dirt and dust off his clothes.

He looks different now. No longer taking the guise of Zhongli, but rather. He's now back in his original skin, being that of the actual Haise Sasaki but in his black suit.

A Naga suddenly lost its cool and attacked, only for Haise to bend his back in show of sheer flexibility and smiled sadistically.

"Hah! You missed!" The Naga's extended arm suddenly buckled as Haise grabbed onto it and broke it with a single slap to the elbow joint.

The Naga dropped its trident in pain and Haise picked it up, slashed at its chest, and after it tried to gain distance. Haise merely gave the trident a lazy throw and it piercing through the Naga like butter.

"Not expecting this mod to be active here but..." Haise then pulled out Harrscher and Gezets from his inventory, surprising the Kansen from the sudden appearance of the sword and shield.

Without warning, Haise disappeared from his position and appeared right above the main group of Nagas. With an almost cinematic arc, Haise rode on Gezets and landed at the center. Causing a massive spiderwebbing crack to appear on the ground and scattering the Beasts as he landed.

All Kansen from different factions stared at awe at the damage caused by a simple move... By a Human no less.

Haise slowly stood up, glared at the recovering Nagas... Before crouching and grabbing his knee in pain.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.... I think I broke my knee! Goddamnit! The cool factor isn't worth it at all." Haise yelled as he continued clutching his knee in pain. The scene confusing both Kansen and Nagas.

But seeing their enemy distracted. Three Nagas decided to surround Haise and thrusted their tridents at him.

Instead of hitting him. Haise has Gezets held up and is holding his ground against the Nagas.

"Can't you let a guy complain about his own stupidity?" He angrily said before pushing on his shield to throw off his attackers.

With them still recovering from the disengagement. Haise chose the one in the middle to violate immediately.

Quite literally teleporting in front of it using Shadow Step. Haise lunged with Herrscher and stabbed the Naga in the chest, before pulling it out and started slashing the serpentine beast again and again. Completely out of mercy.

With a grunt, Haise then punched with Gezets. The shield lagging behind for a moment and caught up. Adding more to the momentum of his punch and quite literally explode the Naga.

Seeing their brethren get brutalized, the rest charged at Haise. To which he merely switched into Agony.

The spear ominously glowed purple from its enchantments. And with a quick step forward. Haise kicked off the ground, used the momentum to spin, and mow down the Nagas at the front.

Once more, the Nagas scattered. Giving time for Haise to glance back and look for someone in the crowd.

His eyes shone with excitement as he completely abandons his stance to quite literally. Turn around completely, showing his back to his enemies. Just so he could excitedly wave at Warpsite like an overly enthusiastic puppy.

"Warpsite! Honey, I'm back!" He yelled, before tilting his head to the side to avoid another thrown trident at him.

"We'll catch up later! I need to clean up the mess first!" He added before turning serious again, and outright blitzed the remaining Nagas with Agony in hand.

Meanwhile, the Kansen could only gaze in awe at the sheer brutal efficiency Haise is doing to the intruders. Though a smiling and blushing Warspite could only cover her face in embarrassment after Haise's quick greeting to her.

"Well, at least we know that it's really him, yeah?" Arizona said while awkwardly chuckling to herself.

"Oh yeah, the only guy to get Warspite this flustered... Definitely him." Exeter nodded, crossing her arms underneath her bust as she nodded.

"Girls, please... Not the time." Warspite exasperated.

She sighed as the rest continued to make knowing faces at her.

"Can we just provide cover for him?" She continued, which was immediately shot down by Elizabeth.

"No... He's handling himself just fine." She replied, before having to run away from her spot as a head of a Naga flew towards her.

"Hey! I don't need reptile blood on me! I'm already dirty and haggard as can be!" She yelled at Haise, who merely gave a quick apology before blasting the chest of a Naga with his Ender Blasters, which he switched to a little earlier.

Suddenly, and ear piercing roar erupted near the beach. To which all Kansen and Haise turned their heads to find a Blue Venom-Fanged Kasaka beaching itself before slithering rapidly towards Haise.

"Snakes... It always has to be snakes." Haise moaned before switching his Ender Blasters to Ruine. The Nagas all tried to dog pile him. But with one smooth movement. He sliced them all in half horizontally.

With all the Nagas defeated, his attention is now on the charging Kasaka.

Haise then took everyone by surprise, when he suddenly stabbed the zweihander on the ground, it's blade digging halfway to the ground as Haise knelt as he stabbed the blade.

Suddenly, ghastly green orbs erupted from the slain Nagas corpses and all converged into a singular ball of miasma above Haise. Who reached out to it and absorbed the orb into his body.

His form exploded with power and just as the Kasaka leaped in an attempt to swallow Haise whole. He pulled Ruine from the earth, slid below the Kasaka, and as the mouth passed over him. He stabbed Ruine below the reptile, letting the momentum of the lunge to cut open the Kasaka's belly.

The Kansen are at awe at the display of skill by Haise, who now stood tall over the body of the fallen reptile. Which he then stabbed the head once more as reassurance.

The dark green aura around his body dissipated, allowing him to take a deep breath and exhale like he just had an entire world's weight release from his shoulders.

"Goddamn that was cool." Long Island commented. Earning her an appreciative look from Haise.

"Well, glad you found that exciting... Not my knee though, that superhero landing cracked it a bit." Haise replied with a chuckle, witholding the fact that it's already healed thanks to his weapons literally enchanted with Life Steal alongside the Vampiric Gloves artifact he has.

His eyes then landed on Warspite, who could already tell what's going to happen next.

"Warspite!!!" Haise yelled before unceremoniously leaping off the head of the Kasaka to tackle Warpsite and lift her up before spinning. Happily laughing and peppering her with kisses.

"I missed you so much!" He said, still spinning and happily laughing.

"Haise! Put me down! It's embarrassing!" She chided, but the happy smile she wore tells otherwise.

The rest of the Kansen could only laugh at her expense, but some has the gall to pout in jealousy at them... Except for Akagi, who is being held back by Amagi and Kaga by her tails as she tries to tackle Haise, in a deranged and obsessed manner... Which is normal for her.

Now noticing everyone else. Haise stopped spinning themselves and placed Warspite down, before opening his arms wide to invite everyone into a big hug.

"I missed you all too! Now come here and guve me a big hug!" The first to respond was the Destroyers, who all jumped on Haise as they laughed in joy at having their commander back. Meanwhile, the Battleships and Carriers made sure to let the Destroyers take as much time to hug their Commander before individually or in small groups taking their turns.

"I'm so happy to be back with you girls." Haise said once more, before turning to his Harem who now stood in a group besides him.

"Warpsite, George, Bismarck, Eugen, Amagi, Akagi, Kaga, Bremerton, Spee, Ulrich, Shinano, Taihou, Roon, Illustrious, Algérie, Yorktown.... I am very... Very sorry for suddenly disappearing for eight years straight." Haise bowed- no. Kowtows before them. Head quite literally cracking the ground when he made contact and apologized profusely and sincerely.

"I have broken my promise, even if it's not deliberate. But a broken promise is still a broken promise." His action was expected by them, but not to this degree. Warspite, being the technical leader of his Harem as she was the first wife. Walked towards him and gently made him look up to them.

"Haise... While we are, more than disappointed of your action. But as your wives, we find it hard to not forgive you. After what you have done to not just keep us happy, but to keep our sisters happy and safe within this safe haven we call home.... We have discovered your hidden room, and found some documents with... Unsavory details regarding the future of Point Azur." Warspite spoke, nearly spitting the last part out like venom at the mention of that certain letter.

"But you have continued to fight against it, even after our victory from the Sirens. Until your disappearance, that is. But... What I am trying to say is. We love you, and this one mistake will never change our view on you. After all, you had not just brought victory to Humanity, to the world... But brought us a future with Humanity. So this mistake that from what you've been spouting, is clearly out of your power... We forgive you, isn't that right, girls?" Warspite continued, before looking back at the rest who nodded.

"Agreed... While we are still mad about you leaving us for eight years." Bismarck added, and looked at Eugen who smiled ever so seductively.

"Nothing like a little bit of service couldn't fix, isn't that right, Ladies?" Suddenly, the air changed from solemn and sincere, to cold and chilly.

...

Mostly just Haise feeling it though.

Haise swallowed audibly, looking at Belfast for some help, but seeing that Belfast was busy entertaining Enterpsie with a cup of tea and lap sitting. Much to the embarrassment of the Eagle Carrier. Only smiled ever so sweetly at him. Which basically told him that he's on his own.

"Yes, we expect you to be wearing that Butler outfit we have given you for you birthday, and make up all eight years of negligence in order for us to fully accept your apology." Amagi suddenly interjected, which made a few Kansen look at her worryingly... Most at Haise with pitying looks, now that even Amagi has joined in.

Haise, mostly out of an escape route. Swallowed nervously and bowed again.

"Thank you for your great patience."

"Upup, you forgot the magic word~" Roon said, smiling sweetly at Haise.

"Uh... *ahem* Thank you... Mistresses." Haise replied, cheeks red from the embarrassment.

"Good, we expect a proper explanation later once the area is cleaned." Illustrious said.

"I'll have the Bul-" Before Amagi could continue, Haise raised his hand to stop her from speaking further, which he immediately regretted after the questioning look she gave him.

"Sorry, but I can handle this." Haise replied, making the girls raise their brows at him.

"Well, since I'm going to explain this anyway later... Shadow Clone Jutsu." Haise made a plus sign with both hands and a sudden cloud of smoke erupted from where he was now standing, and blinded the girls.

Some coughing from the close proximity.

"What in gods name was that?" Bremerton coughed out, swatting away to smoke.

"O-Oh my." Implacable stuttered out, and once the smoke cleared. They all had wide eyes at the sight before them.

Haise... No, multiple Haise now stood before them, all having a cocky but playful smirk on their faces.

"Hah! I swear I just heard a pin drop and the sound of some people licking their lips or wiping the saliva escaping said lips!" A clone said, laughing as the rest followed.

"Alright boys, let's clean this mess up and then we can get started on the explaining... Now move move move!" The real Haise yelled as his clone scattered before returning with cleaning materials.

Everyone watched in awe once more as the clones and the real Haise cleaned up the battlefield. Though a clone did give Implacable a wink, which made the Royal Navy Carrier blush before looking away.

A/N: woo! Finally done! Just had some IRL stuff to finish, hence the delay. Anyways hope you peeps enjoyed the chapter. That's all and SOUL out!
