>Narrator's POV<

The two cruisers began their fight, the only one that was truly one-sided as Newark immediately started to cover herself in smoke, firing her guns in the general direction as she didn't have the time to aim, hoping to keep the heavy cruiser at bay

The rigging moved swiftly as it positioned itself to block the incoming shells, the age of them and the guns showing as each one that did hit, failed to penetrate, either disintegrating upon hitting the armour or ricocheting off into the distance

"I wonder, How long can you withstand~" Eugen said as she fired for the first time, 4x 20,3cm shells ripping right through Newark's rigging armour and one glancing off her feat, damaging her Iice-Skate-like footwear

"Agh!" Newark let out as she was forced onto one of her knees for a second, quickly looking at her rigging to see the damage and seeing two of her port-side guns destroyed

"I don't think you will make it any longer... so how about..." Eugen began as she shot again, her dual-purpose 10,5cm guns ripping right through Newark's other leg, forcing her onto her knees as she squirmed in pain "You surrender~ I don't enjoy hurting you, really." Eugen continued as she walked closer, knowing the protected cruiser didn't have the power to fight her

"N-never!" Newark said as she straightened herself out, Standing on one leg as she supported herself with the rigging that now looked as if someone turned 4/6th of a ship invisible and left most of the starboard side visible

"You still think you can fight?" Eugen said with a smile

Newark then fired her functioning guns, sighing as she saw Eugen elegantly side-sweep and dodge the shells

"You really are not giving up? I'm sure you would be treated well as a prisoner~" The heavy cruiser said as she held her finger up to her chin while smiling

Newark shot another time, her shells just like before failing to land as this time, Eugen sighed

"You know, this is slowly turning out to be boring..." She said, walking closer to Newark as her Rigging chomped aggressively "But if that's what you want..." Eugen said with a shrug as her sharks were about to bite down on the immobile Newark "It was nice meeting a piece of our History" Eugen said, closing her eyes...

"Fight Someone your size Kraut!" A Redhead in a similar outfit to Newark yelled as she swung her whip at the Iron Blood Rigging, forcing Eugen to back off only to be followed by 8-inch shells that barely missed her.

"It seems this fight turned a bit unfair, two against one~" The white-haired cruiser said as she slowly backed off into an advantageous position

Newark just smirked at Eugen "Didn't you just say that all is fair~ in war?" Newark said teasingly to which Eugen let out a short laugh

"You dare use my own spells against me?" She said while stretching her arms above her head "Then so be it." Eugen said firing at Wichita as the Heavy cruiser dodged and fired back at her while closing the distance

Newark was meanwhile forced to watch from the distance, occasionally firing her 6-Inch guns at Eugen when it was safe to do so, the two heavy cruisers not giving the other an Inch of advantage, when Eugen tried to pull back, Wichita closed in, when Wichita tried to gather for a swing with her whip, the shark heads tried to bite her and forced her to either redirect the strike or back off a bit. 8-inch shells against 20,3cm.
