The Betrayed And Forgotten. (Azur lane x USS Montana) [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter 5: Adjustment.

Looking out at the deep blue sea. Montana stands alone on a cliff face. He always did like looking out at the ocean. He found it calming. It's been 3 days since he joined the Sakura Empire, and things have been going well. Or at least as well as they can be. Most of the girls accepted him with open arms after hearing his story.

Though not everyone was convinced. Some thought he was faking it so that he could spy on them. He can't blame them for not believing him. When the presentation was over he was taken to a small empty house and told he had it to himself. It was simple and nice, nothing over the top and nothing too little.

The past few days have been a bit of a mess. A lot of paperwork needed to be done for him to be recognized as a proper ship of the Sakura Empire. But once that was done they finally admitted him for a repaint and retrofit. They were going to modify and copy some of his tech and even give him a few upgrades. They also wanted to paint him black and grey which he thought was cool.

Now he has to go dock his ship into a dry dock for said retrofit. Montana sighed to himself as he started to walk back to the dock.

[TIMESKIP]

Slowly the massive ship was pushed into the dry dock as the tugboats started to back out. Many of the girls watched as Montana left the bridge and jumped down onto the dock. Slowly the water was drained from the dock as the massive ship was lowered onto supports. Once the water was completely drained from the dock, Manjuus quickly went to work.

He watched as the little birds started to examine his ship and take measurements. Turning away Montana started to walk away. As he walked away he failed to notice his left eye blink yellow. Finally, he had arrived at his desired destination, a clinic. He has been a bit concerned ever since that incident in the cell but hasn't had the time to get it checked out. Finally, he does.

A little bell was rung when he walked in. Looking around he didn't see much besides some empty chairs and a reception with nobody at it. Walking over he saw a small bell on the desk that read 'Ring for Service'. Slowly and hesitantly he reached his hand out and rang the bell. It was quiet for a little while before he heard a shuffling noise come from the back.

Quickly a small green-headed girl came out from the back and started talking. 

"What can I do for Ny-" She had said before cutting herself off. He knows this little one, it was Akashi. He had heard some... things, about her business methods. They kept saying how much of a scam artist she was. He didn't originally believe them, but now that he looks at her and her glowing red eyes, a feeling set in.

'I'm about to get scammed aren't I?' He thought to himself as Akashi started talking. 

"Oh my! I hadn't expected Nya to come here! What can I do for ya?" Once again Montana sighed to himself before saying. "I need a check-up. When I was in my cell my left eye started to hurt and bleed." Once he was finished talking, Akashi seemed to be staring at him.

"What?" He said as she continued to stare.

 "Alright come on. I need a closer look." She said with a serious tone causing him to look confused. Walking behind her he decided to look around and didn't see anything interesting. Finally, they got to the medical examination room. The first thing that Akashi did was tell him to put his eye close to a machine.

Not thinking too much about it, he did. Looking inside he didn't see anything except a small hole. Widening his eye to get a better look, he was suddenly sprayed in the eye. 

Jumping back and holding his eye he let out a sharp "Ow!" Before looking at Akashi. "What was that?!" He said as she looked back at him. 

"It was medical spray. Now please wear this eye patch while it heals, Nya~." She said as she looked through a cabinet and pulled out an eyepatch for him to wear. Quickly grabbing it from her, he examined the eyepatch and then took off his aviators. Slowly he put the eyepatch over his eye.

Once he was finished he looked back at Akashi and for some reason her eyes were sparkling. "What?" He said as he looked at her in confusion. 

"You look so cool! Nya!~" Taken off guard by Akashi's comment he simply nodded at her. "Now that will be 400 Gems." She said as Montana proceeded to start sweating.

"You can pay that right?" She says in a menacing voice. "Did I leave the stove on? Man, I should go back and check." He said as he turned around and booked it out of Akashi's shop. 

"WAIT!! YOU DIDN'T PAY!!!" She yelled out to him but it was already too late as he had run too far. Sighing to herself she was about to start cleaning when she suddenly noticed that Montana left his sunglasses.

Snickering to herself she picks up the glasses and says. "This will pay for that fee." Meanwhile, with Montana, he finally starts to slow down and catch his breath. A small smile crawled on his face as he thought 'Man I haven't run like that since-' He suddenly stopped at the memory of his past. The smile that was once on his face quickly disappeared.

Once again he started walking and decided to end this day where it started. Slowly the sun went down over the horizon as he took a seat next to the cliff. He loved the sunset. It was always calming, and now he just got the feeling of Déjà vu. He quietly chuckled to himself as he continued to look out at the sunset.

(AN: Sorry for the long wait. My dad had two strokes so it's been a wild ride. I hope you enjoy the chapter and sorry if it isn't my best work. So with all that out of the way I wish you all a good life.)
