Capítulo 43: CHAPTER 31 - I'M STILL HUMAN (3)
"Master!!", shouted Belfast as she quickly going towards Kay and Zuikaku. The others follow her immediately.
"You said that we shouldn't be worried about him!", shouted Washington. "Now, looks what happens to him!"
The others saw Kay is badly injured, covered with blood. He still conscious but barely awake. With enemies are still around him, he can't fell yet. He needs to defeat them.
"Please don't move, Kay", said Zuikaku in tears. "Please...just rest a bit."
As the others reach them, they expressions full with fear and anxiety.
"Yorktown will definitely scold me", said Washington. "What should we do?"
"Belfast, give commander a first aid", said Wales. "The others help me defeating the enemies in front of me. Hurry up!!"
BANG...BANG...BANG...
Wales starts the first attack, following by the other shipgirls while Belfast is trying to give some first aid. At least, she hopes that it can reduce his pain little bit.
Belfast starts to regret as she knew her ignorant caused this, although it just a small portion. She keen to forget that Kay is still human and his body is not same as the others. The others might survive when getting hit, but a single direct hit will be fatal for Kay.
He still alive thanks to his element, but he still need immediately treatment before it becomes worse.
"Tch...that human", said Kaga. "How dare he fell by himself. At least, I can kill him more peacefully."
Kaga tries to deploy her aircraft towards Kay until she saw several barrages coming toward her. She immediately evades.
"Don't your dare messing around with commander!", shouted Wales as she starts attacking her again, shooting her barrages towards Kaga. "Javelin! Laffey! Keep her busy while Essex and Shangri-La deploy their aircraft."
"The rest will handle Orochi. Please be extra careful! We can't let our guard down!"
It's a little bit easy for Azur Lane when fighting Kaga. However, everything are against them when they are trying to defeat Orochi as the weapons are useless. They can't even get one direct hit against Orochi.
"Tch...stop messing with me, Azur Lane!", shouted Kaga.
"You need to stop messing with our commander!", shouted Wales. "Look what have you done to him!"
BANG...BANG...BANG...
BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...
Several loud explosions can be heard from far away. The battle is heated as time progress as nobody has shows a sign to stop.
Suddenly, they heard someone clapping, It's Kaga that on top of Orochi, looking down at the others.
"You can stop fighting Kaga", said Akagi.
"But Akagi-neesama, I can still fight!", shouted Kaga angrily.
"You will your chance, Kaga", said Akagi. "We have more important things to do. Don't worry, we will coming back for them."
"Who give you permission to run away, Sakura Empire!!", shouted Wales. "You will pay what you have done!"
"I see we have some impatient insect here", said Akagi. "But, do you think you have some leisure to say that, Azur Lane. Your commander will died if he don't receive immediately treatment."
Akagi is right as Azur Lane also don't have any choice. If they delay more time fighting against them, Kay will be in danger and they can't afford that happen.
"We retreating, Kaga, along with Orochi", said Akagi. "Enjoy your time while you can, Azur Lane. Since, you will be good as dead."
"Tch...remember this, Azur Lane", said Kaga. "This isn't over yet. I will that human with my own hands!"
Kaga and Akagi left the area, leaving the others to look at Kay. His condition is not great, but he still breathing.
"I'm sorry, Kay", said Zuikaku while crying. "I didn't mean to cause you this."
"I'm sorry"
PANG
Belfast suddenly slaps Zuikaku out of nowhere. Everyone can see her anger towards Zuikaku. Then, she immediately grabs her.
"You should be sorry, Zuikaku", said Belfast. "I don't blame you entirely, but if you keep saying that I will be very mad. He is our commander and we also need to be blamed."
"So, stop saying that!!"
"That's enough, Belfast", said Wales. "We need to retreat to Azur Lane, fast."
"I didn't think we will make it in time", said Shoukaku. "We need to go to Sakura Empire. It's closer than Azur Lane."
"Are you stupid?", asked Washington. "Why we're going to enemy territory? Are you out of mind?"
"No, she's right", said Wales. "I'm not sure he will make it if we went back to Azur Lane. We don't have any choice, we need to go to Sakura Empire."
"What!! Please say something, Essex and Shangri-La!", asked Washington.
"No, we can't return to Azur Lane", said Essex. "Not with his condition."
Washington refuses to believe it but she don't any choice but to accept it.
"Can we go there, Shoukaku?", asked Wales. "Can you persuade them to allow us going there?"
"I don't think I can but I can guarantee you that shikikan can get a treatment there", said Shoukaku. "Mikasa can helps him."
"Then, let's get going", said Wales. "Please hold the commander, Zuikaku and Belfast."
****************************
"We still half way from reaching our destination!", said Wales. "Is commander still breathing?"
"Master still fine", said Belfast. "But, we need to hurry up."
As they quickly going toward Sakura Empire, they heard a loud roar.
ROARS!!!!!
ROARS...ROARS...
"What's that noise?", asked Washington.
"I don't know", responded Wales. "But, we should hurry."
With Kay is barely alive, they don't want to waste time any longer. They need to be hurry and treat him immediately.
However, nothing gone according to plan as they saw Sakura Empire fleets in front of them.
"What the...what the meaning of this, Shoukaku?", asked Wales. "Why they are suddenly here?"
"The reinforcements!", said Shoukaku. "Please let me handle it. If something happens, you need to retreat and follow Zuikaku."
Queen of Sakura Empire, Nagato is there with Sakura Empire fleets along side with her loyal guard, Kawakaze. As the Azur Lane is gotten closer, Nagato can see Kay is badly injured.
Most of the Sakura Empire girls don't believe what they saw. They are wondering how that human get injured badly.
"How he get that injured?", asked Takao. "Is he still alive?"
Hiryuu and Souryuu are asking them to be quiet and stop talking.
"It's very nice to see you again, Shoukaku, Zuikaku and Ayanami", said Nagato. "I see our enemies treated you so well."
"Thank you, Nagato-sama", said Shoukaku.
"I see that human is badly injured", said Nagato. "I assume you want to bring him to Sakura Empire."
"Yes, Nagato-sama", responded Shoukaku. "I..."
Before Shoukaku manages to finish her sentences, someone interrupt her. Someone shouting at her angrily.
"What are you thinking!", shouted Hyuuga. "How dare you bring that human here!"
There some hostile from Sakura Empire toward Azur Lane. They feel very unpleasant seeing Kay here.
"Silence!", shouted Hiryuu. "Let Nagato-sama talking!"
"I already knew the detail from Hiryuu and Souryuu", said Nagato. "I can say I'm very grateful that human help them to retreat from Orochi."
"Then...!!", said Shoukaku.
"However, that human is still our enemies", said Nagato. "I can't forgive what he had done to our sacred tree. Either all of you go away or we will attacking them."
Nagato is furious and telling the fleets to aim their main battery toward Azur Lane. They are currently stuck between in the middle of the crisis.
"What's your choice, Azur Lane?", asked Nagato. "If you're not leaving, we have no choice but to shot you!."
........
........
ROARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They heard a loud roar, screaming in their ears. The sea suddenly becomes dangerous and uncontrollable, the weather turns dark. A hidden storm reached them, as they are looking away
ROARS...ROARS....
The loud roars, coming out from the deep sea, showing its true appearance. That creature is enormous and dangerous. It's indeed the Black Serpent, 'The Cell'.
ROARS...ROARS...
"What the...what is that?", asked Nagato.
Fears surrounds these girls as they watch the creature. They feel very scare and feeling liked that will be eaten alive by that creature.
"Isn't that...", said Zuikaku as she remember seeing that creature. It's indeed the same creature she saw when Kay saved her in the cave.
Upon realize the danger, she immediately shouting at the others.
"That creature is dangerous!!", shouted Zuikaku while holding Kay. "We need to go!!"
"I know but my leg can't move!", shouted Essex.
It's not only Essex, the others even can't lift their own fingers. The war cry from The Cell probably the cause.
BANG...BANG...
BOOM...BOOM...
Nagato's main battery is attacking the black serpent. The loud explosions caused the others gasped.
"Don't ever scare!!", shouted Nagato. "All fleets aim toward that creature!!"
"As your wish, Nagato-sama!", shouted Sakura Empire shipgirls, finally realized they shouldn't scared.
BANG...BANG...
"I think this is a perfect time to bring Kay to Sakura Empire", whispered Shoukaku. "Belfast and Zuikaku will holding Kay and going to Sakura Empire while the others hold this creature."
"I don't think we had any choice", said Wales. "Please be safe."
Zuikaku and Belfast nodded. After looking a perfect opportunity, they immediately go. Suddenly Takao como out of nowhere, stopping them from moving forward.
"Let us through, Takao", said Zuikaku.
Belfast abd Zuikaku thought Takao will stop them, but Takao offers to help them.
...........
...........
ROARS! ROARS!
"Why that creature didn't attack?", asked Essex. "And, why our attack didn't even work?"
"That creature toying with us!!", shouted Wales.
Suddenly, the black serpent starts roaring. And, the next thing is everyone wants to forget as several serpent heads coming out from the sea. It's done looking at these girls and preparing to attack them.
ROARS!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"My leg...can't move!", said Nagato.
The others have the same fate as Nagato. They can't move.
The black serpent slowly approach these girls. It's looking at them, with its black eyes, feeling liked a death just past them. The black serpent makes another roars.
Fears surround them as they never experience this feeling. They want to run away but they leg is locked.
Zuikaku, Belfast and Takao is little far away from them. But, they can still feel it.
They are screaming, forcing their legs to move but it's futile.
"I'm sorry but I will going there", said Zuikaku. "Please take care of Kay."
"Wait! Where are you going, Zuikaku?", asked Takao.
Zuikaku left Kay with Belfast and Takao. She already decided what she will do as she felt Rakurai suddenly glowing.
ZAPP........
Several lightning strikes coming out from Rakurai, attracting that black serpent.
"This is probably a bad idea", said Zuikaku. "But, I need to redeem myself or I will regret it."
"You can do it, Zuikaku!!"
ROARS!!!
The black serpent suddenly moving backwards. It's liked that the creature is scared of something.
"What's going on? Why that creature seems scared?", asked Nagato.
...........
The creature is scared of something, only one person that make its instinct gouing wild. Telling them to run, retreat or get away from here.
It's Kay and he is slowly walking towards The Cell. With he is badly injured, nothing will stops him.
"Commander!!!".
Zuikaku is more than surprised seeing Kay capable to walk even though he is badly injured. Upon seeing Zuikaku, Kay takes Rakurai from her hands.
"Lightning Element, First Form", said Kay as he activates his element.
****************************
Lightning tornado surrounds Kay with enormous power as he activates his element. Then, he slashes the tornado with a single slash. His eyes turn yellow.
He is currently using dual swords to fight The Cell, Rakurai and Zuikaku's sword.
"Are you out of mind, human!", shouted Nagato. "With that injuries, you will died."
No response from Kay as he is only looking at The Cell, his sole enemies.
"That thing is me and mine along", said Kay. "And you opponent is me. Don't ever dare attacking none other than me!!"
SLASH...
BOOM...
Kay unleashes a single slash at The Cell, slashing it with the lightning element.
The Cell is in pain, roaring at him. Several heads start attacking Kay. Upon seeing the attacks coming at him, he immediately jumps and slashing that heads in mid air.
SLASH...SLASH...SLASH...
Its heads have been cut down, one by one. However, its starting to regenerate back just a few seconds.
But, it doesn't matter since Kay keeps slashing it immediately.
SLASH...SLASH...SLASH
ZAPP...ZAPP...ZAPP...
"Are you done messing around!!", shouted Kay while striking it. "If you dare enough to face them, then stop running away from me!!"
SLASH...SLASH...
Kay appears in front of The Cell and striking it as many as he can. Since, he is using dual swords, he manages to strike it more than hundred times.
The Cell moaning in pain, its becoming aggressive as it can't win against Kay, even thought with his condition. A one sided battle.
However, The Cell is a wicked and intelligent enemies. It knew where to target its prey, the weaker one. And it is indeed these girls that just standing still, looking at Kay fought against The Cell.
ROARS!!!
Some of its head going toward Nagato and the others. Kawakaze immediately going in front of Nagato to block it upon realized the situation.
KLANG....ZAPP
The attack is being parried by Kay, managed to block it in time.
"I said...your opponent is me!!", shouted Kay. Then, he immediately slashing the others head. Lightning strikes are everywhere, creating a massive chaos.
ZAPP....ZAPP...
ROARS......
The Cell is ignoring Kay by attacking these girls instead of him. Kay had no choice but to block it by himself.
His injuries are getting worse and he is starting coughing blood.
"I need...to act fast", said Kay in his mind. "But, I can't use my abilities...not in this condition."
"I need to blow the main head."
The girls can only watch as they are nothing that they can do. Their attacks are not working against The Cell.
The caused several burden for Kay as he needs to attack The Cell while protecting them.
KLANG...KLANG...KLANG...
Kay parries another attacks, desperately to hold his own breath. Then, he made mistakes as he can't parry in time.
BANG....
"Kay!!", shouted Zuikaku as she watches Kay got hit.
"Why he kept protecting us?", asked Nagato in her mind. "He has no reason...No, this is not the time. I need to help him or we are in danger."
"We need to give him some time."
Nagato orders the fleets to attack The Cell, trying to give Kay some time to recover back.
BANG...BANG...BANG...
BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...
BANG!!!!
The girls surprised with loud explosion. They saw Kay with several lightnings surround him. The swords glow as he flows his element.
Then, he stomps the sea, cutting its into half. His attack creating a shock wave, separate the sea and targeting The Cell.
BOOM!!!
ROARS!!
"Now, die!!", shouted Kay that appears on the top of its main head. With the swords he holds, he immediately stabs its with full strength.
The lightning flows from its head to the main body, creating a huge shock wave.
ZAPP...BOOM!!!

..............
The Cell stops moving and fell including Kay that fall from the sky. Zuikaku immediately went towards him and catches him, barely.
Zuikaku embraces Kay as she catches him, tightly.
"Thank goodness, you still alive", said Zuikaku.
"....run...", said Kay.
"What...I can't hear you, Kay?", asked Zuikaku.
"...Run..that Cell...still alive...run...quickly....", said Kay.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROARS!!!
"That creature is still alive!!", shouted Essex."Wait, its starts to unleash the attacks from its mouth!!"
"Beam incoming!!!!"
The Cell wakes up and starts to collect all the power toward its mouth, trying to unleash beam attack.
"Come on, Zuikaku!! We need to get away from here!", shouted Takao while grabbing Kay.
They can hear the noise that the attack is ready to be unleash. They are too late to run away.
...............
...............
"Don't worry, I will protect you. No matter who you are"
The girls heard a calm voice, telling them that they will be fine. The voice is very familiar and they saw Kay is raising his hand toward The Cell.
"Let me...tell...you..."
"Enormous power...come with huge...responsibility"
"Yet...people misused...their powers to...destroy each other"
"And, my Element...can...Destroy The World!!!"
Several lightnings surround Kay, creating a massive force and shot towards the sky.
"That chant!!", shouted Nagato.
