章節 23: CHAPTER 16 - BATTLE AT THE FALLEN CITY (4)
"What do you want, Wiseman? ", asked Kay. His gesture is kind of disturbing when Wiseman unexpectedly shows himself at his back. After seeing Wiseman, Akashi is hiding behind Kay.
Wiseman is heading towards Kay, gazing at the view that Kay saw in the Fallen City. Wiseman saw that a few shipgirls from Azur Lane were seriously wounded by the Crimson Axis.
"Sending them to their grave, witnessing them, crippling your pride," Wiseman said. "I 'm right, Kay?."
"Say whatever you want, Wiseman," Kay replied. "In the first place, I never cared about their problem."
"It's good, albeit humorous, for them to believe my reason to make them obey my order"
Kay is looking at Wiseman, sending him a message about their roles in this world. He already indicates that there is no Cell roaming around here.
"There's no Cell here," Kay said. "So, let me ask you this again. What do you want, Wiseman? ".
The sky is surrounded by enemy aircraft that dominate the atmosphere. Enemies are now getting reinforcements. These girls can't handle them, because they're in bad conditions with several disadvantages.
Kaga and Admiral Hipper are going towards Essex and the others. They are trying to end the battle to achieve the victory.
"They will lose", said Wiseman. "What will you do? Do you want to ignore them by sending to their death? Or, you will help them by defeating Kaga?".
"What is your answer, Kay?".
"I will not doing neither of those two", said Kay. "I will guide them".
Wiseman laughs when he hears that. He claps several times, leaving Kay alone with Akashi.
"Then, let me enjoy the show"
.................
"Helena, this is Kay, Commander of Azur Lane," Kay said throughout the communicator. "You've got any messages for me?."
"Yes, commander. You've got several other messages from Enterprise, Wales and Belfast, "Helena answered. "All of them seem to be very upset with the commander. Would you like me to read it for you? ".
Kay has already been told by Helena that Enterprise is against the idea and is charging him as he talks to her. She had already left the fleet, leaving the Hornet in command for the fleet.
"Belfast will punished commander after we reached home", said Helena. "And Wales...Good Luck, commander".
".....12 hours lectures from her is not bad.......compared to Belfast", said Kay. "Thank you, Helena. We will see you soon".
"Your are welcome, commander", said Helena. "Good luck, commander".
Kay put the communicator back on his watch. He decides to call Mr. Eagle to start a contingency plan if the main plan fails. Kay's going to take this burden as he never assumed the Crimson Axis had a lot of sirens in their hands.
"Wait here, Akashi," Kay said as he started to run.
Kay hops from building to another building in the direction of Kaga and the others. He saw the huge white fox that was trying to kill Essex and the others. Mr. Eagle has not been wasting any longer and has changed his form, [Flame Phoenix] to destroy the fox.
Flame surrounds its body, flying towards it. Crushing and collides against it to prevent the huge white fox.
"Time to end this mission,".
*******************
"Let me tell you, Kaga"
"Enormous power come with huge responsibility"
"Yet people misused their powers to destroy each other"
"And, my Element can Destroy The World!!!".
The sky becomes darkened, the clouds are following the situation. In the Fallen City, the cumulonimbus clouds come out of nowhere. The sea is in madness with waves that are uncontrollable and dangerous.
Kaga and Admiral Hipper are trying to attack him, but the lightning sparks that encircling Kay can easily deplete all the attacks.
"It's useless," Kay said, holding the sword in the trajectory of the sky. "The targets have already been locked. Nothing for you to do, except to face the reality!".
"Checkmate!!! [Liked the Stars that Fall to Earth]"
A huge lightning beam hit the clouds of the cumulonimbus, making the clouds wilder and more threatening. Suddenly, the sounds seem to be mute as everyone looks up to the sky. Dark and despair liked a nightmare.
........
Suddenly, countless lightning strikes came through the clouds, penetrating and destroying all the sirens in the Fallen City.
The sounds followed afterward, with sorrows and grief.
Neither Crimson Axis nor Azur Lane wants to face reality as they can't believe it. All the sirens capable of destroying a country, manage to being destroyed by a single human being. A single person who is unknown to them. A single human who just came out of nowhere.
Almost all the girls of Azur Lane knew Kay is indeed stronger than anybody in this world. They never knew, however, that Kay 's strength was like a nuclear bomb. A bomb that destroys all of humanity in the twinkling of eyes with a huge radius.
They 're still watching him. They 're still silent. No one dares to speak, including Kaga and Admiral Hipper, who thought they had won. The mouth of them is closed tight.
Kay lowers his sword and puts it back. He focuses at Kaga as he attempts to give her the last warning.
"Leave this place, now!" "Kay said that. His sound is intense, severe and yet calm.
Admiral Hipper and Kaga do not move, their minds are still reluctant and can not acknowledge the reality.
"Huh! If you already have this tremendous power, it doesn't make sense for you to wait!! "Admiral Hipper yelled. "You 're playing with us, human? ".
Kay doesn't answer her question with the tongue, instead he grabs her neck and hits her stomach in just mere seconds.
Admiral Hipper does not have any time to react nor to evade it as Kay suddenly appears before her.
SMACK...zapp...
Admiral Hipper is unconscious because of an electrical shock, not because of the punch. Kay is still struggling to hold onto himself as he needs to control the emotions. He's going to catch Hipper and look at Kaga.
"Well, I guess when you have a big mouth. This kind of event always happen", said Kay. "Now, what are you going to do, white fox?".
Kay doesn't even know the reason for Kaga to hate him so much even thought he never met her. He can already feel how enraged and despise Kaga is towards him.
"Tch...We 're going to retreat," order Kaga. "Enjoy your win, human! Because there won't be a next time".
Kaga walked away from the scene, leaving the Ironblood shipgirls with him.
"That including you all, little girls", said Kay as he is looking at Prinz Eugen and the others. "Now, get out from my sight before I changed my mind".
"You 're not suited to being their commander, human," said Prinz Eugen as she tried to play a mind game with Kay. "They waste a lot of opportunities, when defeating the Sakura Empire, thanks to you. Now, the chances will never come back".
"Hold this girl," Kay said to Essex and Shangri-La while giving them unconscious Admiral Hipper.Kay advanced towards Montpelier, who was seriously wounded after being assaulted by Ironblood. He's stroking her light coloured hair, smiling at her calmly.
He saw how badly they were defeated. They 're still trying to win the fight, though. It's all pointless.
"You 're probably right, mole girl," Kay said. "I'm definitely not suited to being their commander."
"However, they never waste their chances".
"It is called 'empathy', little one. As they followed my order".
"And, that empathy. Ends here!!".
Zapp.....

*********************
Shoukaku and Zuikaku are staring at the sky that unexpectedly becomes dark. Their eyes are fixed upon it, leaving little time to blink. As they waited, they saw a lightning bolt coming from the earth. With the sky, its returned it back to Earth with countless lightning strikes.
Despair consumes them as they fear the end of the world. Fusou, Yamashiro and the other shipgirls of the Sakura Empire thought the attack will hit them. They are still treating Ise, Hyuuga and Takao. They cannot faced all of them.
However, the attacks are precise and accurate, with nobody being struck by the lightning strikes. The grief does not stop there, as when they opened their eyes.
They saw that all the sirens were destroyed completely and instantly. No sirens have been found alive by the attacks.
"Are you alright, Yamashiro? ", Fusou asked while she was petting Yamashiro 's head.
"I'm all right, Fusou-nee", Yamashiro replied.
"What's going on here? ", Souryuu asked. "Where did the lightning coming from? ".
"That's not the biggest issue right now. Looks what happens to those sirens", Atago said as she pointed to the sirens that had been destroyed.
With the reinforcements gone, the Sakura Empire lost its strength to fight any further. Not to mention, Kaga has already told them to return.
It's not that simple, indeed, as when they're trying to retreat, the lightning shock wave comes out from the Fallen City. The shock wave is acting liked a calm breeze that comes through them. They were feeling somewhat calm and comfortable.
On the horizon, a flare gun can be seen, a blue smoke as a symbol for them to be reunited. The Azur Lane reinforcements are approaching and will meet them in less than an hour. Yet, two of them manage to get here early.
"Retreat all the fleet!", called out Kaga while looking at Shoukaku and Zuikaku. "Fifth carrier division, remain here and give us some time to leave."
"This is a punishment for you foolish act".
Typically, Shoukaku is going to be really upset at them and against the idea. She's going to complain to Souryu and Hiryu about it. This time, however, is completely different. Shoukaku seems to be happy to accept this role.
"As you wish, Kaga-senpai," Shoukaku said happily, "I will watch you back this time."
"Tch...Do whatever you want, fifth-carrier division", said Kaga while retreating with the others.
Most of the Sakura Empire is retreating except Takao, Atago, Ayanami, Souryu and Hiryuu. They 're trying to talk to Shoukaku and Zuikaku before they leave.
"Please come back safely, Zuikaku," Takao said. "If I'm not injured right now, I'm going to stay with you. I'm so sorry".
"Don't worry about me, Takao," Zuikaku said. "I am a lucky ship, remember that. I have this sword with me, too".
"Ayanami will take care Takao, desu", said Ayanami. "Please come back safe, desu".
Shoukaku is talking to Souryu and Hiryu as they give her some encouragement. It seems, though, that Shoukaku really doesn't need that. She is now in high spirit for an unknown reason.
Shoukaku and Zuikaku are watching the others depart. It's different from the last time, but they're still concerned about both of them. They 're still bothered about Kaga and Akagi as they always bullied the fifth carrier division.
"They already leave us, Zuikaku", said Shoukaku.
"I know, Shoukaku-nee", said Zuikaku.
"..........."
PANG.....
Suddenly, Shoukaku hit Zuikaku 's back. Zuikaku in pain and ask Shoukaku for something like a reason for Shoukaku to hit her.
"I 'm sorry about that, Zuikaku. But don't you forget about something? "Ask Shoukaku. "This is the perfect time for you to meet him."
Zuikaku got embarrassed when she heard it. Her face is as red as the tomato, but she's still chill. It's the best time for her to meet Kay. She can't waste this opportunity as no one will bother them.
"You've got to go, Zuikaku," Shoukaku said. "Tell him about your feeling."
Zuikaku nodded to Shoukaku, making her mind up. She's got the confidence, just the resolve is left.
"I'll go, Shoukaku-nee," Zuikaku said, leaving her sister.
Shoukaku observes that Zuikaku now left her. It puts a smile to her face when she sees her little sister grow up a little bit.
She's not alone, though. A few minutes later, someone was coming to her. It is Belfast from the Royal Navy.
"May I help you, Belfast?", asked Shoukaku while smiling at her.
*******************
"Can you stop sulking, please? ", asked Kay. "I know this is entirely my fault, and I have already taken the responsibility."
"That's not the issue, commander," Essex said. "We all felt that our effort was meaningless. Commander is already powerful and we knew that you could defeat them by yourself".
Kay is carrying Montpelier on his back, as she has no strength to move. Akashi is with Edinburgh, while Cleveland is being held by Formidable. Essex and Shangri-La are watching the surrounding area to avoid any ambush.
"Commander can easily defeat the Ironblood fleet," Shangri-La said. "Please tell me exactly, commander? I think they all want to hear your reason".
Kay recalls his memories as he was already incapacitating Prinz Eugen. She can no longer use her rigging until Kay undoes the paralyze. And to make matters worse, Admiral Hipper is captured, who is now unconscious and held by Sheffield. Luckily, for some reason, she's very light.
"It is because of empathy, little ones", responded Kay. "You will understand it when you grow up and experience it".
"Until then, try to understand my decision"
"I mean I really want to tell you", said Kay. "But, I am trying to think any good reason for me to tell Wales and Belfast. They will absolutely mad at me. Maybe I should go somewhere else a little bit after we reached our fleet".
Klang.....Klang.....Klangg.....
Suddenly, some sounds were detected, like there was someone fighting nearby. It's too risky for them to leave without investigating. Kay had asked Essex and Shangri-La to hold Montpelier for him.
"Stay here," Kay ordered. "I 'm going to investigate the noises."
...............
A few minutes before, Zuikaku is wandering around in order to find Kay. She is really feeling nervous but still happy in her heart.
A beautiful maiden in love. Despite the fear and uncertainty surrounds her feeling, Zuikaku wants Kay to know that she has a feeling towards him. She is here and just a mere seconds departing their time to meet. She is willing to see all of it through as long as Kay is by her side, even though for a moment.
Zuikaku already saw Kay, although he is with others. However, she doesn't care as she already has the courage to meet him.
However, a fate separate her from meeting with Kay as an arrow coming towards her. She cuts the arrow although it is almost hit her.
"Grey Ghost!!", shouted Zuikaku.
Enterprise is appear out of nowhere. She is already furious with Kay as he already changes the plan without telling them. All the Crimson Axis already retreat from the Fallen City, a huge opportunity for them to defeat Crimson Axis is gone.
"What are you doing here, Zuikaku?", asked Enterprise as she is aiming her bow towards Zuikaku.
Zuikaku is reluctant as she has to choose either to fight Enterprise or to meet with Kay. She knew this a perfect chances for her to fight Enterprise as nobody will disturb them.
However, deep in her heart. She decides to ignore her pride and follows her heart. She wants to meet with him, deeply.
"What.....", said Enterprise as she is very confused when Zuikaku just past through her. Usually, Zuikaku will eager to fight her.
Enterprise shots the arrows several times towards Zuikaku without hesitating. Zuikaku has no choice but to defend herself.
"Wait a minute, Grey Ghost!!", shouted Zuikaku. "I do not want to fight you".
"Your are our enemies!!", shouted Enterprise. "There is no reason for me to believe you. With the commander already deceive us, there is no need for me to trust you".
Enterprise keeps attacking Zuikaku without stopping. She already thought something is wrong when Kay is siding with Shoukaku. To make it worst, Kay does not intends to tell her the truth and his reason.
Zuikaku incapable to keep with her. She stills cannot fused the sword as its keeps rejecting her, She making a mistake and lost her balance. Enterprise activates her ability when she sees the perfect moment.
"It's over!!", shouted Enterprise.
The arrow is full with power and coming towards Zuikaku. She cannot avoid it.
.........
Zappp.......
Suddenly, Rakurai is glowing and emits several lightning strikes, surrounding Zuikaku. The attacks block the arrow just a mere second before its reached Zuikaku. Both of them are confused and surprised.
"What the mean of this, Zuikaku??", asked Enterprise. "That is definitely not your power".
As Enterprise tries to attack Zuikaku again, a lightning strike comes toward them. The attack separates Enterprise and Zuikaku. Both of them are looking at the one who is responsible for the attack.
It is Kay and he is walking toward them.
"Now, can all of you please calm down a little bit", said Kay.
