Azur Lane: Story of the Blind Battleship

Chapter 11: Threat

Arkansas was currently taking a nap on a bench. Multiple ships would watch him and wonder why he always chose this spot to take a nap. He was almost like Laffey in that regard.

The ships were suddenly surprised to see him quickly awaken and walk to his ship, without a smile on his, many confused since he was still grounded after the last incident. Jumping on his ship, some ships tried running up to his ship to tell him that he was still grounded. Their words quickly stopped by the sound of Arkansas' AA batteries shooting the mooring lines holding his ship in port. 

This alerted the entire base as they were hearing AA gun fire. Assuming an attack was happening, the base engaged it's air raid siren alarm.

A change of POV to Yorktown's office shows mayhem happening. Yorktown is on the phone and contacting other ships. Suddenly Cleveland, an Eagle Union light cruiser bursts into the room.

Cleveland: Yorktown, Arkansas shot his ship's mooring lines, he's exiting the base!

Yorktown: Why?

Cleveland: We don't know, other girls reported him in the middle of his nap and then he suddenly went to his ship.

Yorktown: Okay, sortie up a pursuit force. We need to know what's going on.

Cleveland nods and exits the room. The scene shifting back towards Yorktown who is still answering phone calls.

Cleveland is running towards her ship along with Helena, Fletcher, Laffey, Javelin, Repulse, Enterprise, and Hornet. All of them jumping into the water with their riggings engaged and pursuing after Arkansas.

Change POV

The Eagle Union submarine picket made up of Albacore, Archerfish, and Cavalla are currently doing their patrol, their sonars picking up a ship rapidly moving past their location, nearing periscope depth, they spot Arkansas' ship moving flank speed towards an open body of water.

Archerfish: Hey Albacore, isn't Arkansas still grounded?

Albacore: Yeah, his last prank got him into a bit of trouble.

The submarines watch as Arkansas does a quick glance in their direction, meaning he knew they were there. All 3 submarines gulped and did a rapid dive, all of them heading back to base.

A few minutes go by and the submarines run into the Eagle Union pursuit fleet, surfacing, they talk with the pursuit fleet.

Cleveland: Archerfish, what's going on, why aren't you on your usual patrol?

Archerfish: We came across Arkansas, and well, he glanced at us as he sailed by and we were scared, we were heading back to base to report it.

Enterprise: I see, can you tell us which direction he went?

Cavalla: He went that way.

The blonde submarine points towards the South-west, the pursuit fleet nods and continues going after Arkansas.
