Right.....Wrong.....I don't know

Food fight

Mainz came to a stop after running for a while. “That was an experience! So we now do things by force?! Fine by me!” She was panting from running but otherwise fine.

“Tell me what you mean by that, please?” Soyuz said as she pulled her arm back. She dusted herself up and looked at her. “Why did we even run away?”

“What I mean is that we had many ideas of democratically removing Hood from office. She really wasn’t the best leader, but she always won because we couldn’t get more than two thirds of a vote to remove her. She still held office through all of it and never did anything too bad to get people against her.” Mainz explained. She leant on the side of a building. “Well that's the democratic approach. I guess we now do it with a military coup.”

Soyuz crossed her arms. “Why only now?” If they didn’t like Hood then why didn’t they remove her already?

Mainz leaned a bit forward. She fiddled a bit with her fingers. “Largely because a lot won’t agree with the order of killing you and we can now use that to actually make a point against her. Previously we never had any real ground to foot ourselves in since she, as I said, never ordered something that would cross the line like this before. If we would attack then we would be the aggressors in this conflict which would garner us no support from anyone. Not exactly a good thing.”

“It seems we are tools to your means but I shall allow that for now. We need to get her away from office indeed. Also, care to answer this for me?” Soyuz asked as she looked at Mainz. She pointed at her. “I get you pulling us away from there for whatever reason you thought of and all but what do you want with the lantern pole?”

“Huh?” Mainz looked confused. She looked at her hand, the same one that Soyuz was pointing at, and was caught by surprise. She was indeed holding a whole lantern pole in her hand. She laid it down after staring at it for a good minute. “Well that is embarrassing.” She scratched the back of her head. “I was trying to grab Weser to pull her out as well and…well I guess I must have grabbed this instead of her arm in the smoke.”

“Doesn't that mean that Weser is still there?” Asked Prinz Heinrich as she scratched her head. She looked around and couldn’t find her. “I will go back and get her.” She turned and was about to run but Soyuz held her shoulder. 

“There is no need. You can believe me.” Soyuz said as she held the Heavy Cruiser back. If she knew one thing then that Weser was practically enjoying herself at the moment.

“But Weser is a Carrier. She has no chance against Hood in close combat. Also I think I know my friend better than you. We must help-” Mainz's sentence of worry was cut short by an echoing loud sound. Soyuz immediately recognised it as the sound of the cannons firing. She wasn't glad that all the Ironblood cannons and the one the Siren uses sound nearly identical because in her situation it made identifying who was shooting a lot harder for her. Soyuz did suspect it was the Siren though.

“I hope you know what you are doing.” Soyuz exhaled quietly. If the Siren did anything wrong now she wouldn’t be able to say anything to stop her from being attacked. Although she doubted the Siren wouldn’t be able to explain herself or slip away unseen like she has observed with many of their kind before. She could at least be sure that Hood was not about to have the greatest of days from now on.

Soyuz also debated innerly if they should even go in and assist her. After all, the Siren would most likely not have any problems dealing with her at all.

“Sounds like Weser is fighting. We should definitely help her get out. She is chanceless against Hood.” Prinz Adalbert gulped. She aimed her guns in the direction of where she heard the sound from. The fact that it was far louder than what a Carrier would have in firepower wasn’t even anything they picked up in their panicked states.
