Azur Lane: Story of the Blind Battleship

Chapter 19: Epilogue

Many weeks had gone by and the process to repair Arkansas' cube was running smoothly. However many concerns raise up about resummoning Arkansas, mostly due to his actions when he became a Siren. Many of the leaders however still wanted to see Arkansas again and the project continued as always.

Akashi: The cube is glowing brighter.

Vestal: Think it's almost time to resummon. I'm gonna go grab everyone.

Akashi: Alright nya.

Vestal runs to Yorktown's office and reports that they were ready to resummon Arkansas. Yorktown reports this to other leaders and many went down to the lab to see the resummoning.

Akashi: Alright, introducing secondary wisdom cube, and start. 

The cube absorbs the 2nd wisdom cube and starts rapidly spinning, lightning starts shooting out of the cube surprising everyone. It continues rapidly spinning until it's enveloped in a bright flash of light blinding out the entire room. The light fades and there stands a person in their 30s, wearing a white admiral's uniform. His rigging confuses the ships, there wasn't large gun turrets like what Arkansas had. They see multiple weird boxes and missiles on his rigging, along with 2 holstered pistols and 2 weird rotary cannons on his shoulders. 

Prinz Eugen: Who... who are you?

The unknown figure looks over to his Eugen, Eugen sees his red eyes, then all of a sudden, 2 large fox ears pop out.

???: Did you forget what I said?

Eugen is starting to cry tears of joy at this unknown ship.

Arkansas: That not even the tides of the sea will let me forget you. I love you... Eugen.

All the ships were staring in shock, this was Arkansas, but not the ship they remembered.

Nagato: Are... you still Siren?

Arkansas: No, the nuclear blast purged that. I am.... an evolution though. Heheh

Queen Elizabeth: So who are you then?

Arkansas: Well, I'm USS Arkansas...

Arkansas: CGN-41, Virginia class nuclear cruiser.

Prinz Eugen: Nuclear... cruiser?

Arkansas: Yes, this was my successor. A bit of a cruel irony that the same technology that powers it was the same energy that killed our ships originally. But, it is good to see you again Eugen.
