In the bottom of the sea, near the exact location of Kay, a girl can be seen who has serious injuries. Zuikaku, who was ordered by her leader to sacrifice herself along with her sister, Shokaku, to stop "The Cell" from pursuing them.
She can't move, her leg might be broken, her arm might be broken. She can only sit down, just lay down on the ground.
Yet she's not alone, "The Cell" with her, watching her suffer. It looks like "The Cell" resides in the cave at the bottom of the sea as a hiding spot. No wonder Kay was unable to detect it.
"The Cell" captures Zuikaku after it has been identified as a life-form that makes it fascinated.
While "The Cell" is generally known as a high-smart life-form, this Cell seems dumb, unable to talk or make decisions. The nature is focused just on how to survive, that's all.
Smashing and killing everything without caring of the consequences. It's like "The Cell" is only a newborn.
Zuikaku is trying to move, but it's pointless. She's served her purpose.
"At least, I managed to allow them some time to escape," Zuikaku said. "But I'm too weak to get out of here.
Zuikaku looks at "The Cell," watching her like a cat with its prey. Even if she has the energy to run, "The Cell" will capture her instantly.
She's giving up. She can only hope for the worst.
"Shoukaku-nee, I'm so sorry," Zuikaku said as she cried. "I am not brave enough to refuse the order. I think that if I accept this, they will look at us more highly, as the fifth division of the Sakura Empire."
The shipgirls in this world already overcome the fear that they will die soon. It's really typical in the war. Died to defend their country, died to kill the enemy and died to protect their loved ones.
"At least I will died, protecting all of you, supporting all of you. Is that right, Shoukaku-nee," Zuikaku said.
High growls can be hears, sounds like "The Cell" is probably not waiting any longer. Upon seeing Zuikaku, don't move for a while. Pobably assumes that its toy is already dead.
"This is it. I guess I'm going to die here," Zuikaku said.
"I 'm sorry about this one, Shoukaku-nee."
"Please forgive me for this"
On the outside, you think Zuikaku may already give up, but the inside is different. She doesn't want to die, she wants to live. She's hoping to see her sister again. She's scared of dying like this.
No accomplishment, no one's going to remember her like this. She can still do more than that. She still has to fight the Azur Lane. She also has to destroy the sirens and bring peace.
"No, not like this," Zuikaku said as she tried to crawl forward. "I'm not going to die like this."
"I 'm scared, Shoukaku-nee"
....
....
"Please help me out, Shoukaku-nee"
....
Her body is giving up, she cannot move anymore. "The Cell" is already targeting her. Raised one of its tentacles and moved to Zuikaku.
.....
"Please save me", said Zuikaku in weaker voice.
BAMMMMMM....
"The Cell" hit her already. Yet that's not how it works.
Zappp....., Zappp..., Zappp...., Zappp ...
A few seconds later, the tentacles were already sliced into tiny bits. "The Cell" howling in agony as if it were being sliced. It's trying to launch another attack by crushing it.
BAAMMMMM ...
Yet there's no one there.
The cave is massive, large enough to make "The Cell" its home. Huge enough to fight it out here.
"Are you done messing around?", asked Kay. He was holding Zuikaku like a bride. Nearly unconscious, Zuikaku, she's trying to look at Kay until she's unconscious.
Kay raised his sword and talking to "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!!!".

"It's been thirty minutes since he's been diving underwater," Enterprise said. "Are you sure that he's all right?"
"My Master is going to be all right," Belfast said. "Just trust him, Enterprise. He's strong enough to protect himself. We 're just trying to hindrance him.
"If you say so," Enterprise said.
The moment is quiet because both of them just don't know how to communicate each other. They have a different personality, which makes it harder.
Suddenly they saw something approaching, an aircraft carrier approaching to their place. It's got a flower like a leaf of sakura. There's only one ship in there.
"Sakura Empire!" Enterprise screamed as she was about to launch an assault on the ships before Belfast stopped her.
"Just a minute, Enterprise," Belfast said. "Remember Master's order, no one can be attacked until he arrives."
"That's nonsense," Enterprise said. "What if the ship is attacking us ..."
"Just a minute, the ship just sits there."
Enterprise pointed to the ship, which does not launch its carrier. Normally, when they meet Crimson Axis, they attack them immediately.
"There's someone on the ship," Belfast said. "Shoukaku, the fifth carrier division of the Sakura Empire."
"What's she doing here?" Enterprise asked.
They 're trying to look at Shoukaku from their place. They saw that Shoukaku 's eyes were red and swollen. It looks like she's been crying for a long time. It's been a few hours since "The Cell" was attacking Sakura Empire.
Shoukaku looks like he's trying to find something out here. It's a really shocking place. A lot of sirens have been destroyed , leaving nothing but rubble.
Enterprise went to Shoukaku, aiming at her bow. She's also unwilling to attack her. Belfast is still trailing the Enterprise.
"Don't move Shoukaku," Enterprise said. "This is a restricted area. Your forces have already been defeated, so give up and get away from here.
Shoukaku ignores the warning from Enterprise. She's still busy searching someone here.
"I said that ..."
"Leave me alone!" screamed Shoukaku, crying. "I don't have time for you. I'm going to find my sister."
"Your sister? Zuikaku?" Enterprise asked.
Shoukaku ignores it and continues her searches. She also hoped that Zuikaku would still be alive. She's trying to find her, but it's pointless. Yet she doesn't want to give up.
"What's happening here?" asked Belfast.
"I don't want to speak to an enemy," Shoukaku said. Please, I beg you. Please leave me alone. I'm not going to harm you.
Shoukaku bows at them, hoping that they will leave her alone and not bother her.
Belfast and Enterprise are hesitant, but order is an order. They agree to let Shoukaku be here, but they're still watching her because they don't want her to do anything stupid.
A few minutes after searching, Shoukaku shouts the name of Zuikaku several times. Hope she's going to answer it. But she doesn't hear any response from it.
Belfast and Enterprise can just take a look at her. Before Belfast talks of the damaged blade at Shoukaku.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Shoukaku. I think I saw my Master show us a broken blade an hour ago," said Belfast.
"You mean this blade?" Enterprise asked while showing the broken blade.
"This is Zuikaku's sword!" Shoukaku said. "Where do you find it?"
"I don't know. Our commander has found it," Enterprise said.
"Where, then, is your commander?" Shoukaku asked.
Belfast and Enterprise are staring at each other, hesitant to answer the question. After a moment, they pointed their fingers, pointing the ocean down.
Shoukaku is really puzzled.
"To be honest, he looks very mad at something," Enterprise said. "When we talk about Zuikaku, he went down to the bottom of the ocean.
"My Master is probably going to find your sister," said Belfast.
"Lies!! "Shukaku screamed at them," We are enemies. He has no reason to help us.
Shoukaku went to her ship, leaving them stunned.
Enterprise relieves a sigh. She understood that she almost losing her sister. Her sister, Yorktown, is currently injured and stays at the headquarters of the Eagle Union. When she knew that her sister had almost died, she felt outraged.
"I know the feeling," Enterprise said in a sad voice.
"We can just wait for the Master to come back," said Belfast.
*******************************
Zapp..... Zappp.....Zapp.....
KLANG...KLANG....
Almost all the tentacles of "The Cell" have been cut down. Leaving the creature in agony. Kay was swinging his sword while holding Zuikaku. He can't leave her there. It's just too risky.
"It's really hard to fight like this," Kay said. "But this isn't a problem for me, though."
Kay is looking at "The Cell," he's shaking his head.
"To be honest, I'm very disappointed with you," Kay said.
Klang....Klang.....
Kay swings his sword again, activating his element.
"How do you feel? Are you done messing around?" Kay asked. "After you're trying to destroy my world, you 're coming here and messing around."
"Who do you think that you are?"
"The Cell" roars at him, howling in rage. But Kay doesn't care about that. He 's taking a special sword out of his watch.
"My final attack may be overkill. You 're still a newborn, so you don't deserve it."
Kay's looking at Zuikaku, she's in pain. She's losing so much blood. She might died, and Kay 's got to prevent that. He's got to finish it quickly.
"Just wait, girl," Kay said. "I 'm going to save you, I promised."
Unleashing and activating the element, the lightning surrounds it and travels towards the sword. "The cell" is not going to stay still and attack Kay. Yet,it is pointless. The lightning is preventing it.
"It's pointless," Kay said. "This is your sin, as you have done it."
Kay is staring at "The Cell" and pointing his sword at it. The monster is trying to run away as it feels the danger. The instinct told its to run fast. Yet, "The Cell" has already been paralyzed by Kay.
Kay raised his sword to the sky. The lightning is emitting from the sword. Energy is out of the ordinary and beyond that.
"Checkmate"
Slash...Slash.....
Kay swings his sword in the direction of 'X,' cutting and killing "The Cell." A few minutes later, "The Cell" turns into an ash and is gone out of this world.
"One is gone and four more remains," Kay said.
Will update new chapter tommorow. Hope you enjoy it.
