Azur Lane: Renewed Generation (Modern Warship X Azur Lane)

Chapter 19

USS Ohio

Back at the Sakura Empire Philippines' base.

Izumo:Moves the pieces on the board. "So they're targetting the Java Sea?"

Tosa:"From their movement, it seems that's the case."

Suruga:"Should we alert the whole fleet for this?"

Tosa:"No, I think we could handle this with our own fleet." Look towards Kaga. "Kaga?"

Kaga:"Hmm?" Looking at the compass and planning board repeatedly.

Tosa:"How's the health of the first division after Akagi's passing?"

Kaga:"I think they're ready."

Suruga:"It's a shame that Hiryuu and Souryuu is still occupied." 

Izumo:"How about Shimakaze and I-19?"

Tosa:"We don't need Shimakaze. As for I-19, I've some plans for her." 

Kaga:Closed her compass before walking to the door. "Let's go, we don't have time before Kawakaze started complaining that she doesn't want to guard the Java Sea alone. Quick!"

Tosa:Stand up before shaking her head. "Patience, Kaga."

Kaga:Stop before turning her head towards the other ship girls with cold and burning eyes. "My apologies, I just wanted them to taste some of their own blood." 

Izumo:"...Very well, let's go." Respond calmly as the rest of the ship girls followed Kaga.

Not far from there.

Yamato:Move a shogi piece. "Tsumi, Nagato." Smirk.

Nagato:Look around the board before smiling back. "I'm absolutely beaten, did you play this before?" 

Yamato:"Not that big of a deal really." Place back the shogi pieces to its original position. "Rather than that, you sure you wanted to hide that power of yours?"

Nagato:"Power?" Confused. "What power?"

Yamato:"You think I didn't notice?"

Nagato:Look blankly at Yamato before slowly smirk. "Sharp eyes you have there."

Yamato:"May I guess, that's for last resort?"

Nagato:"It is, it is. Incase the Eagle Union attacked to the main base or killed everyone. I won't use it nor fight."

Yamato:"You mean everyone you bind as a...barrier, right?" Sneered.

Nagato:"You're wrong though?"

Yamato:Surprised. "What did I got wrong?"

Nagato:"I don't need barrier to contain my power."

Yamato:"So, what'd you see your ship girls under that...bind as?"

Nagato:Smirked wickedly. "Weapons. Ten to be exact." Moves her shogi whilst it echoed all over the base.

The scene then switched into a basement some sort room, with Shimakaze hiding in it.

Shimakaze:Breathing heavily, clearly traumatized by the lashing.

Nagato:Background voice. "With one of them already in place. Am I clever, Yamato-san?"

Shimakaze:Her eyes then shines gold. Mixed by both hate, guilt and fear.

Nagato:"The Orochi has failed us in the past. But with this..." Smile gleefully. "It can't fail even if they wanted too."

Shimakaze:"Kill...Kill everyone. Kill everyone who hurt the empire..." 

A dark aura then incase Shimakaze before the smoke cover lift, revealing a burnt attire and rusted rigging. Behind her was a huge black rabbit with torpedoes on it side, with dark flames spread on her black coat.
