The lost battleship of the southern trench

Chapter 4

3rd person POV

Blue Flame Princess entered into one of the other storage looking buildings. She found that it actually seemed to be a barracks. She was currently walking down what looked to be a main hallway, doors lining the side of the hall, some seemed to lead to bedrooms, and others to storage closets. Currently she was heading towards what she assumed was the mess hall. Floating besides her was one of Southern's scout planes, it seemed to float slowly like it was in space, though still managed to stay with her.

Now Blue didn't know too much about Southern, mainly since it seemed that both of them had amnesia. But that didn't mean she wanted to be alone. For her it just meant that it would be slightly hard to get to know her, it is just, how do you get to know someone, when they don't even know who they're and what they're interested in? Though she had grown to like Southern a little seeing her as a protector, because she herself is just a carrier and she very well knows that a carrier on their own is vulnerable.

Though now when she entered the mess hall she could see that it was a literal mess. Tables and chairs had been thrown around, some were broken, glass was on the floor, from what looked to be broken picture frames. She sighed to herself as she now cautiously made her way through the mess to the kitchen, hoping to find any canned foods that might be good to eat.

When she made it into the kitchen it was just as a mess as the mess hall. Cooking utensils, pans, pots, pot lids etc were lying all around the room in a complete and utter mess. Again Blue sighed seeing the massive mess, but she still searched around for what the kitchen held.

She was looking in a wooden cabinet above a counter at the back of the kitchen, when she heard the clattering of metal behind herself. She thought someone else was there, and for a second thought Southern had wandered into the same building as her. But when she turned around she saw Southern's plane lying on the floor, the purple glowing band seeming to fade-away, like it was suddenly deactivated. She made her way over to it, stepping over the stuff on the ground, and picked it up examining it for a moment before looking up.

"What happened?" She said to herself "did... did, Southern deactivate it? Or..." then two answers crept into her mind. Either Southern had deactivated it on purpose, or Southern was in trouble.

She didn't even think about it anymore as she now did her best to get out of the building quickly, though was slowed down by the mess of the kitchen and mess hall. But now she was running through the hallway of the building towards the outside, still holding Southern's scout plane in her hand.

It took her only a few minutes to reach the building that Southern had entered into. She walked slowly through it as she looked around, before she hollered "Southern? Are you here? Your plane... it deactivated!"

Now her eyes came upon seeing the Abyssal monster destroyers that Southern had seen before. I-class, Ha-class etc were hanging from chains, seeming lifeless and in need of repair. But now Blue saw that one spot where broken chains were hanging, was empty of any Abyssal monster, and the floor underneath the spot seemed to be broken, then she noticed that it wasn't actually broken. There seemed to be a trap floor that opened up to a canal, for which the destroyers could come through and be working on.

She walked over to where the trap floor had opened up and could see Southern, unconscious and floating on the water's surface, as the silhouette of a monster destroyer lay beneath her sunken in the canal.

"Southern!" She suddenly yelled seeing her condition. She ran forward, and after a moment's hesitation, tried to get Southern out of the water. But she was too preoccupied to notice something behind herself.

She knelt at the edge of the canal and tried reaching out to grab one of Southern's feet. But when she grabbed her right foot, she found that it was incredibly hard to pull her up. Until Blue felt something wrapping around her waist. Suddenly she was pulled backwards which at least pulled Southern out of the water and onto dry land, but as Blue let out a scream, she was suddenly lifted up into the air and faced the odd jellyfish Abyssal that Southern had examined beforehand.
