5 minutes after the massive naval battle, a young girl stood at a ship's edge and surveyed the vast ocean. Where the blue sea and the blue sky and vibrantly colored sea life had flourished, all that remained was the shattered remnants of an army that was spared from the onslaught. The blue sea has been painted by the dark tint of oil leaking from the sunken ships and the dark smoke from the flames of the large stretch of oil covering the blue sky. Ships that had housed proud sailors lay in ruin at the depths of the abyss, bound by iron and blood. The ships of the navy, the terror of the seas, their guns have gone silence at last for the first time ever since the transference.

Steel versus steel, The Battle of the South Sea proved to be the arbiter of any form of relationship between the two powerful nations.

The main naval guns, at last, unleashed the havoc they were designed for. Yet it was not the grand show long dreamed about.

Monika removed the large white bow that kept her hair on a ponytail and let her hair flutter from the wind and closed her eyes to take a deep breath from the ocean breeze as a form of rebirth from her old past, the reason of her existence that she had been ordered to abandon as a way to have a new life.

The 7 people behind her; the Chief of Foreign Affairs Seria Ludwin, Vice-Admiral Sirach Jotun, and their respective subordinates looked in terror of their once glorious fleet decimated and pitied in humiliation as Terran Destroyers moved in to pick up the survivors, only for most of them to attempting an attack after being picked up in one last great act defiance. Monika's short quote only made the taste of defeat even bitter.
