Azur Lane High

Blame

" what happened?!" Akagi shouted, angrily. Furious at Azuma who had returned without the other elders as well as Jintsuu. But mostly Akagi cared about her dear sister Kaga. Azuma was on her knees bowing to Nagato for forgiveness.

" we were overwhelmed by new kind of ships." Azuma explained, Nagato raised her hand to stop Akagi. This clearly upset Akagi very much to the point where she still lashed out to say " if I were out there I wouldn't have left them behind! I would've stayed with them till the very end! And not be a coward like Azu-" getting cut off by Nagato saying " ENOUGH!" Silencing the room.

" Akagi, let her explain." Nagato said, calmly but in a very strict and serious tone. Even though she was very angry at the outcome as Akagi she needed to hear the reason.

" what do you mean by new kinds of ships" Nagato questioned, hearing Azuma try to explain what she witnessed.

Azuma: " and I didn't leave them behind. I'm not a coward. You weren't there and it changes nothing." Looking straight at Akagi.

" than why didn't you call for back up?! What happened?!" Akagi shouted, furious.

" I thought Kaga had called for back up, but before I could get a grasp on what was going on... it- it just happened so fast. These new ships were right in our faces. We fought them off the best we could but... I- I don't know! It was like they knew exactly what we would do and all our moves!" Azuma spoke, hearing the hurt and shock in her voice. Not understanding how three of the best elders could've been taken down so easily. And even she was almost taken down. The only reason why she got out was because Saint Louis showed up just in time and saved her but she couldn't save the rest of them.

Saint Louis was here too. She hadn't said a word this entire time. She looked down this entire time. She was so disappointed in herself. 4 ships were on her hands (not really since she arrived too late to save everyone), and all she could think about was that at least Jean sacrificed herself to save 5 but she only saved 1.

Nagato: " we will deal with this matter later. Right now." Getting up to walk towards Saint Louis.

" we owe you a great debt of gratitude." Nagato spoke, seeing Saint Louis shake her head saying " I wish it could've been me instead." Referring to what happened to them. Although they may be still alive, they may be captured.

" don't say something like that." Akagi said, not liking her tone at all.

" Akagi." Nagato said, hearing Akagi's nasty tone coming through even though she appreciates what she said and most likely wishes it could've happened. She definitely would've traded Saint Louis's life for the others. As harsh as that may sound.

" we also send our regards to Richelieu-" Nagato was cut off by Saint Louis saying " no." Surprising all of them.

" she feels like you've all abandoned us and did not want me to assist. Do not mistake her perspective because I see that she was correct now." Saint Louis spoke, realizing that during her stay here she's realized that nobody is doing anything to help the other factions. In fact, everyone is currently celebrating spring break having fun.

" that's not true. We're all-" Nagato was cut off even though she wanted to explain to Saint Louis what she doesn't see what they're doing but she didn't want to hear it.

" I need to be getting back. Excuse me." Saint Louis said, leaving.

" rude." Akagi said, not liking Saint Louis's manners at all.
