Azur Lane: Story of the Blind Battleship

Chapter 12: Repercussions

It wasn't fast enough....

Arkansas falls back onto his battleship which changed into main ship form. Dragging himself and leaning against one of his turret's barbettes, he breathes slowly and focuses his radar onto his leg. Around his knee, he seems that apart from some muscle and skin holding it on, it was a clean shot through his leg.

Arkansas: Well damn, didn't see that one coming. 

Arkansas chuckles to himself, but starts coughing up blood as well. He looks at his leg and sighs.

Arkansas: When a wolf gets his leg stuck....

Arkansas unsheathes his knife and wipes the Siren blood off it, bringing it to the last parts of where his leg used to be, he breaths in and gets ready to cut it off.

Arkansas: It'll chew its own leg off...

In a swift motion, the knife cuts, and the scene changes back to Enterprise and the other Azur Lane ships who are still fighting off the Sirens.

Enterprise: Cleveland, 3 o clock

Cleveland: Roger.

The ships continue firing at the Siren ships. A portal opens up and a high class Siren appears.

Purifier: Where is that idiot, I need to grab him.

Purifier then looks down and notices the Azur Lane fleet, she smiles and charges towards the fleet surprising the ships.

Cleveland: Enterprise, Purifier's here.

Enterprise: Acknowledged.

Change POV

Arkansas is continuing to listen in to the battle, grabbing his medical bag from his coat, he feels around for a tourniquet and some bandages. And ties the tourniquet around his leg, and wrapping the stump in bandages.

Arkansas' breathing is getting shallow, he wonders if he lost too much blood. He feels his mind starting to slip, he cannot fall asleep. Relenting, he feels around for a needle, and stabs himself in his shoulder.

The adrenaline kicks back up and Arkansas jumps back awake. He continues sitting against the barbette waiting for the battle to end. He chuckles.

Arkansas: I wonder how pissed Vestal is gonna be at me. Probably a fair amount, Nagano will be angry as well. And Prinz Eugen... yeah, I'm gonna get a guilt trip on that one.

Arkansas: And now that flying Siren is there. Heh, well, let's see how she likes 305mm.

Arkansas waves his left hand and all the turrets turn and start raising, tracking their target.

Arkansas: Let's drop some lead on that mother-

The blasts of the guns deafen out everything else and the shells fly towards Purifier. She turns and gets bodied by 5 305mm rounds hitting her. She's knocked back a bit, her rig damaged, she decides to retreat.

Enterprise: All right, role call. Call out if alright.

Enterprise goes through role call and when she finally gets to Arkansas, she doesn't hear anything over the radio.

Enterprise: Arkansas, Arkansas, are you there? Pick up.

Enterprise: Okay, Javelin, Laffey, go and find him, make sure he's not playing any pranks, he's in such trouble when he gets back to port.

Javelin: Yes ma'am.

Both destroyers go out and search for Arkansas, eventually spotting his ship, they however spot numerous fires on board, the conning tower collapsed over on the side, and the main guns all depressed down onto the deck to rest. The 2 destroyers hurriedly jump on board and search the ship, they come across Arkansas.
