Chapter 11: Operation Cube de sagesse noir (Black Wisdom Cube)

"Just a scratch." He answered, tracing the wound with his fingers and smiling to himself. The Sous-lieutenant turned his attention from the bullet graze onto the lined up prisoners as he removed any UN markings from his uniform. Three hum caught his attention. Three former Azur Lane fleet Commanders and some of his old work colleagues. "You boys stay the rest of you, don't you have some maids, a kitty, a cube to rescue and while you're at it go see if those destroyers killed each other yet they seem offlay quiet."

"Yes, sir." Captain Anderson answered as his force did likewise, removed any UN identification markings.

"Wilco" Captain White didn't dare make eye contact with the Legionnaire as she passed knowing what they were about to do. Other UN peacekeepers shifted their eyes between the lifeless bodies and the man... no demon responsible. Her heart thumped rapidly as a thought floated inside her head. The Legendary Demon himself wouldn't mind getting some bedtime action with that... no he's just a smoking compian... or is he?'

"Don't let us stop you ladies from killing each other." The Sous-lieutenant commented, eyes landing on Atago, Takao, Belfast and Cleveland, the latter of which was now soaked in wet clothes from being tossed roughly aside into cover.

Tension high, all four Kansens stared each other down with a deadly glare but nervousness was in the air. None of them actually wanted to make the first move

He bent down to eye level with a brunette in her early twenties, fresh meat. Smirking, the Legionnaire drew his Remington R1 and pistol whipped her across the head before placing the barrel under her chin. "We both know your chances of living are higher. Answer my questions and... you walk. Deal? If not, I'm sure the Alpha operatives will be happy to break you."

"Y-Yes." She sheepishly responded, fear in her voice. The Legionnaire's emotionless voice sent chills down her spin.

"Good." His maniacal smile only grew wider. "Name?"

"Sarah Campbell."

"Age?

"23."

"Faction?"

"Eagle Union."

"Fleet?"

"12th Azur Lane Fleet."

"What would your girls say about you abandoning them?"

"Ashamed, traitor most likely. Maybe... nevermind."

"Did you love them?"

"W-wh-what?"

"You heard me, did you love them?"

"Yes, they were like a family. I couldn't bear their smiles. We were taught in the academy that they were tools of war yet they acted like humans. A part of me agrees that they are indeed human."

"I know... you could always testify at the International Court of Justice and say that they are human. A part of me too believes that they are alive, from one Commander to another we can both grant them their human and civil rights."

"Really?"

"Yes, but for you to do that you must answer my last two questions. Ok?"

"Deal."

"Can you list any names of Collaborators within Azur Lane and any feature plans?"

"Left jacket pocket there is a USB and cell phone."

"Thanks and Benclyff I might just forgive you for this." She smiled happily as he checked the pockets of the other two commanders and revealed the same items along with a waterproof bag containing a map. The map was self explanatory. It marked us and their positions but for good measure the pistol whipped another Commander, breaking his nose as he waved the USB and Phone in their face. "Does this have what I want?"
