Azur Lane Fall And Rise

Chapter 10 - Rescue Mission Part (3)

Somewhere at sea,

...

Guardian, Tempest and Sovetskaya Rossiya had been facing the Siren forces for the past several hours. They have managed to break through the first line of defense due to the Phantom Strategy and have been constantly pushing forward to escape the battlefield. However, their escape was interrupted by a certain Siren commander, Purifier. With little time to spare, Guardian decides to initiate Plan B.

Guardian: Let's do Plan B.

Tempest: Alright, Plan B it is.

(S) Rossiya: What is Plan B, Guardian? (looking curiously)

Guardian: Purifier is fast and tough unlike these Siren ships. If she were to catch up to us while we escape, it would make it very difficult to shake her off. Therefore, I'm gonna create a diversion so our escape plan runs smoothly.

Tempest: Me and Guardian will act as bait for Purifier so her attention will be directed to us instead so while that happens, you can escape freely. If she were to open fire, we will cover fire for you so you can get out of here unscathed. 

Guardian: My mission to protect you and send you home. I'm sure your sister comrades are waiting back in Northern Parliament for your return. I'm sorry that I can't escort you there but I hope that you can make it alone. Do you understand, Rossiya?

(S) Rossiya: I can't do that, comrade commander. I'm not going to leave you just so that I can escape.

Guardian: Why not? Why can't you follow what I say?

(S) Rossiya: You're asking me to leave you and hold of against Purifier by yourself? I won't allow you to do that, commander. I can't just stand by and watch you get yourself in danger. 

Guardian: I won't be in danger as I have Tempest with you. If anything goes bad, we can get ourselves out so don't worry about me and just go.

(S) Rossiya: I'll do the task so you can escape instead. I am a ship girl after all. What other purpose do I have other than to fight?

Guardian: Rossiya, this is not the time to do this.

(S) Rossiya: I can fight with you since my injuries have healed and if something does go wrong, we can escape together so please, let me be with you.

Guardian: (Grabs her hand) You have a home to go back to, your sisters are waiting for your safe return. I cannot let you be harmed in any way so please, go before its too late and your purpose is not just to fight but also to survive, to live.

(S) Rossiya: Commander...

Guardian: (Hugs her) You're hurting and so am I. Please, get home safe. It is for the best.

(S) Rossiya: (Hugs back) O-Okay... I will go but promise me that you will make it out alive as well. 

Guardian: I promise plus I still have to prove to you. Do you remember?

(S) Rossiya: Yes, I do. It's a deal then. Take care, comrade commander Guardian. (Deploys her gears)

Guardian: You too, Rossiya.

Tempest: Sorry to interrupt but Purifier is getting closer. (readying the guns)

Guardian: I got it. Go now my lady. (gestures her)

(S) Rossiya: Goodbye, commander. (I'll see you again soon.)

Guardian sees Rossiya off then turns back to Tempest to say something.
