The Raven (Azur Lane) [Completed]

A Bird With A Broken Wing | Eight

Yorktown awaited the arrival of the Orthodox forces, however once she saw Richelieu carrying someone, her heart instantly shattered.

Yorktown: SOMEONE GET VESTAL, NOW!

Intrepid instantly ran to Vestal's office, busting the door down.

Vestal: AH!

Intrepid: WE NEED YOU AT THE DOCKS IMMEDIATELY!

Vestal got up and practically teleported to the docks. Once there, Intrepid's fears were realized. It was Raven, and he looked like he flew through a hurricane. Scorch marks apparent on the turrets as he still had his rigging active. A hole in the roof of turret 3 also was able to be seen, along with some of the riggings deck coming up.

Yorktown however knew that Raven had Cortana.

Yorktown: Cortana...Cortana!

Cortana: Yes?

Yorktown: What's Raven's vitals?

Cortana: Heart rate is stable. Blood pressure is regulated. However I am picking up abnormal brain activity.

Yorktown: What the hell is going on inside your head Raven?

What was going on inside of Raven's head was a nightmare. The Battle of the Malacca Straight.

The battle where Dunkerque was sunk and the French navy nearly along with her. The French navy took 4-5 months to fully recover from the injuries. 

Vestal: I may need help carrying him.

Vestal had a hold on him from under the arms. Intrepid helped Vestal get the upper body as Bunker Hill and Ticonderoga got the lower body.

The squad then carried him to the infirmary and placed him on a bed, where he started sweating.

Vestal: *Mumble* Shit.

Intrepid: What?

Vestal: I can't find a vein.

Intrepid: Try his left arm.

Vestal moved to Raven's left arm where she now found a vein.

Vestal: Heart rate is stable...blood pressure is good...you girls can leave, I can handle this.

The trio of Essex Class carriers left the infirmary.

Vestal: Come on. How do I disable your rigging?

Cortana: Done.

A splash is heard in the distance.

*Meanwhile*

Richelieu and Jean Bart sit in Yorktowns office. The two explain what happened to the 'Eagle Union' ship.

Richelieu: Suddenly he jumped on us and covered us with his turrets. Apparently the sirens were trying to kill the leaders of the Orthodox. Anyways, he kept beating up the sirens until a shell penetrated the roof of the turret. He just kept fighting un-

Suddenly a massive splash is heard as the trio look outside and they see the USS Raven in the harbor.

Yorktown: Looks like Vestal got his rigging disabled.

*Timeskip*

It had been 2 weeks since Raven had come back to port heavily injured.

Suddenly Vestal hears a noise in the direction of Raven.

Vestal went over to investigate, finding Raven sitting on the edge of the bed. Vestal ran to Yorktown's office.

Vestal: He's awake.

The now duo ran back to the medical ward, to find Raven on a call with Autumn.

Raven: Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Yeah. Love you two baby. Bye.

Raven hung up and looked at Yorktown.

Yorktown: Well, you've gained the trust of the Orthodox ships.

Raven: I'm just that naturally charming I guess.

Yorktown: Yeah, you are. Anyways, medical re-

Raven: I'm fine Yorktown, I am.

Yorktown: Alright. However no missions for a week.

Raven: Fine

*Timeskip*

Raven sat in the cafeteria with Intrepid, Bunker Hill, Ticonderoga, and Hornet.

Raven had a black sword pack on his back now.

Raven: So you want to hear a story?

The squad nodded.

Raven: Ah. Cape Cod was a nice touch. It was the first battle we won against the sirens. 

Hornet: What about before you became a kansen.

Raven stopped lifting his spoon mid air.

Raven: Oh...heh...that...

Hornet: Bad question.

Suddenly Raven's head was pushed into the plate.

Raven picked his head up, revealing a dislocated jaw which he easily snapped back into place. Raven then turned around, sending a right hook into the persons jaw.

Deutschland: Heh. Lowly animal.

Deutschland sent a kick to the balls and then a fist to the liver. The combined pain sending Raven to the ground.

Raven: Oof.

Deutschland got down on him and continued sending fists and kicks at the injured Raven.

*BOOM*

Deutschland: ACK!

Raven had activated his rigging, shooting Deutschland.

Deutschland was stunned, allowing him to get up. However, Odin came over and put her sword to Deutschland's neck.

Odin: YOU SWINE! YOU DONT DESERVE THE NAME OF THE FATHER LAND!

Deutschland: I deserve it m-

Odin pushed the sword further into Deutschland's neck.

Odin: I deserve it more than you. I actually have a brain instead of pure skull.

Suddenly Deutschland activated her rigging. The sharks biting into Odin's back.

Odin: SHEIßE!

Raven jumped onto the riggings, tearing them off.

Deutschland then passed out due to shock.

Raven grabbed Odin and carried her to Vestal.

Spee carried her sister in soon after.

Spee: I'm, so, so sorry Raven.

Raven: Don't worry. It wasn't your fault.

Raven patted Spee's head and then headed to his quarters to rest.

Raven: Still the same old Lützow.

(A/N: Short, but I wanted to get something out)
