Right.....Wrong.....I don't know

What the past stood for

Drip

No pain.

Drip

Huuh

Drip

Huuh

Drip

No feeling

Drip

An area filled with smoke with single figures standing in it.

A light breeze was blowing the smoke away as it cleared up and showed its inhabitants true horror.

Cleveland saw the gun barrels that Prince of Wales possessed in a burning red.

Cleveland heard the big guns reloading and being retracted.

Cleveland saw the smirk everyone behind Wales and Wales herself had on their faces and breathed heavy.

It felt wrong, she didn't feel like she got any oxygen even though she was breathing heavily.

It sounded strange? like the air was coming in wrong.

A vile taste built up in her throat as an exhale gave birth to something else than air. A dark red liquid exploded out of her mouth and dripped down her cheeks. It stained her pitch black and crimson uniform even darker red.

A spike of pain, light, like it, wasn't having any feeling behind it.

Cleveland followed it and revealed herself a terrible truth.

From her, she must admit not very voluminous, chest down to her belly button gaped a hole. A straight hole in which nothing existed. Her own ribcage was tattered and broken in the open.

Her vision blurry, her feeling weakening.

She looked up and her legs gave away.

She fell but didn't hit the water, something caught her.

Gloved hands held up her arms as her legs weren't responding anymore. All of her feelings were gone, only numb pain, a tingle like a scratch, came from them.

"Ohh, don't worry, it's a headmaids duty to assist whoever is in need."Said a formal speaking voice. Cleveland knew this voice but couldn't recognize it now.  It was overflowing with malice instead of the usual kindness the girl showed.

"So I think that takes care of the hard work."The prince chuckled.

"Great work Wales, now can we take her cube and just leave her here. This entire operation already intervened with my planned tea party with Warspite." the voice of the monarch of Azur Lane said out proudly.

"Wales dear, she is still alive, has your aiming gotten bad." chuckled another usual polite voice. It was Hood but Cleveland wasn't sure anymore if it was really them.

"Ohh no Hood, this was planned." said Wales as she bent down to Cleveland."She has been so annoying that I want to see her despair before we reset her again."

Cleveland didn't understand and any breath she took felt weaker than the last.

"Oh, just kill her and get this over with."Said Enterprise in the back as she leaned against her rigging.

"Ohh no Enterprise, this will not be enough."Wales chuckled."She really talked about morals and should we spare enemies and that annoyed me so greatly that I didn't kill her immediately."

She grabbed Cleveland's head and forced it up."So now I will explain everything to you, I bet you want to hear the reason for this too."

The prince put her other hand through the hole in Clevelands torso and chuckled a bit."Yeah, that is what 4 armor-piercing shells of my caliber will do to someone like you. You like it?"
