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

Broken shield

“Did you have to send South Dakota away!” Complained Kent as she held her cheek. “Since when can two cruisers take on an enforcer? She might be unarmed but still, urgh!”

She was heavily bruised and panting from both her personal damage and from literally running out of steam.

“In hindsight, it might have been a bad idea.” Agreed Belfast as she took a deep breath. “But imagine how bad it would be if South wouldn’t take care of the hum-heh sirens at the base over there.”

“If she was here then the enforcer wouldn’t beat our afts.” Said Kent and readied her guns before she shot.

The shots flew and missed the figure it was aimed at.

“Grrr, how can she evade everything.” Complained Kent and shot again.

The shots hit the water and the resulting waterspouts shielded the siren she was firing at.

“We fight humans for so long that we aren't prepared to take on something that can actually match us. Looks like the common girls need to go back to more difficult simulations.” Mumbled Belfast as she stared at the ground. “I need to include that when we get back.”

“What did you say?” Asked Kent and looked at the clearing waterspouts. “Bel down.”

Belfast had enough time to look up but a thrown piece of debris hit her square in the chest.

Belfast was thrown back and landed on the water hard. She groaned and Kent helped her up.

They both looked and saw the siren that threw the boulder standing there smiling. 

“HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE!” Screamed Belfast. The entire situation became a routine to a fight for their life, although the siren didn't actually attack them with killing intent yet.

“Oh we can do this all day.” Chuckled Elma.

Innerly she winced. She was covered in bruises and everything hurt, yet she couldn’t just stop and let this attack continue. She just had to drive them away.

Belfast was about to aim but her comms flared to life. “South, what is it? How can I help?”

“Under attack…hostile forces…...need….aaaa.” Said South Dakota. The connection seemed to break off mid sentence but she sounded scared and pleading.

“South, what's wrong?” Pressured Belfast as she ducked under a piece of debris. 

She got the sound of a struggle but no voice.

“Need assistance…..god…please….please help me!” Cried South Dakota before the comm went silent.

“South Dakota, answer me!” Demanded Belfast. She wanted to know what the humans could have brought that could harm a shipgirl.

“Sorry your contact partner is busy at the moment, please stay in line until your connection to contact is reestablished.” Said an unknown voice before the comms went completely silent.

Belfast was confused, as was Kent who listened too.

She opened the comms again but only received static.

“Oh you stopped fighting, did you get the order to retreat or so?” Snickered Elma.

Belfast gritted her teeth and was ready to shoot and scream at the siren but couldn't.

The wall next to them exploded and before all could even look Kent was hit by something extremely heavy and thrown to the ground.

Kent struggled to her feet and lifted whatever laid on her up.
