Azur Lane:The 3rd Nagato Class

The Escape & Speaking Up

______________

Nagaro's POV
______________

I woke up in my cell as I sat up,the cuffs that prevented my escape,were still on Me as I looked around,the other cells and the room itself,were still as empty as yesterday but I could sense,the 2 guards that stood guard at the door to this room we're gone,probably still sleeping,I tried to break the cuffs,summoning any strength I could but to no avail,the cuffs continued to make Me powerless but I didn't give up,I examined the cuffs as I notice their design,it seemed like,both cuffs were needed for the effect to be complete and it looked like,most of the wiring were in a string like chain,that connected both cuffs,both cuffs would probably,deactivate if the chain we're to be severed but I needed something,strong enough to severe it,unfortunately,I had nothing to work with

I laid back down on my bed as I saw light,shine through an open window,outside my cell,it was one of two windows,in the entire room as it gave let in the sunlight from outside,from my estimations,it was maybe around 5:00-6:00 in the morning,at this time,it would be relevant to assume,Azur Lane was waking up and getting ready for the day but,the same could be said for Crimson Axis,my Sister and the other officers,had most likely already,devised a plan for Me to get out,fully knowing that Sis,would not let Me,stayed capture for long,the question was,how would they do it and what could I do to make it easier,I went through the possible options in my head as tried to think of any plans,my Sisters or Lady Amagi,could use or picked,I weighed the options,until I heard footsteps,approach the room

I sat up and faced the door as it opened up to reveal,Hornet and Cleveland,2 Eagle Union ships,that were at the very pointless interrogation,yesterday,they came in and stopped in front my cell as I faced them with the same expressionless face I usually had

Hornet:your awake,that's good

Cleveland:we wanted to ask you something

I raised an eyebrow at them as I wondered,what they could possibly ask Me,I already told them,that I will not answer anything they say

Hornet:we want to know,why do you fight

I was perplexed by their question as I looked at them with curiosity

Hornet:what's your reason to fight us,what is Crimson Axis's reason to wage war against us,you gain nothing from this war,except the destruction from the sirens

I stared at her with my blank look but inside,I wondered about her question,it was the same question I had but it still had no answer,I had always questioned the actions of the Empire and why we fought,even tho,most of us,didn't like or want to fight but we fight anyway,my reason was to protect the Empire but what is the Empire's reason to fight,it was the question that lingered in my mind

Hornet:tell us,has your Empire,told you,why we are at war

I looked at her but I turned away as I looked at the ground,I thought about it but what she said was true,they haven't told Me anything about this war or our correlation with the sirens,I reluctantly shook my head at her question as I didn't make eye contact with them

Hornet:Cleveland,tell him

Cleveland: *sigh*weeks maybe even a month before your factions,declaration of war,Azur Lane was still unified,but one day,Akagi had found a Black Wisdom Cube,in the Sakura Empire base-

Nagaro(mind):Lady Akagi found the Cube weeks before the attack,she said she found it only days before the attack

Cleveland:she brought it to the committee and we naturally,thought it was related to the Sirens,so discussed about it,,as you probably already know,2 sides opposed each other,we had the side,that wanted to get rid of the cube,Us,Azur Lane,then there was the side,that wanted to use the cube to fight the sirens,despite the little information and testing,we had-
