Azur Lane: The Sakura Eagle

Chapter 13: One-Arm Stuart

Hospital, Azur Lane
USS Stuart POV

I start to wake up to see that I'm in the hospital and I can see Vestal is here talking with Belfast until they both notice me. Belfast hug me which cause Vestal to get angry with her.

Vestal(angry): "Belfast; please let him rest."

Stuart: "I'm okay, but what happen?"

Vestal: "You lost a lot of blood, but we manage to get some from the girls with the same blood type. Also you need to be careful because of that."

She point at me which I notice that I lost a arm when I fought against IJN Suchuwaato while I got distracted by Enterprise. Speak about Enterprise; she told me that Enterprise is alive and well; however maintain observation.

Stuart(confuse): "Why is she be on the watchlist?"

Belfast: "You didn't saw the bright light at Midway?"

I passed in pain after Suchuwaato slice my arm off which cause to be in pain, but I didn't saw the light because I have my eyes close and try to endure the pain. They explain to me that Enterprise did something which cause everyone to teleport in that icy region which that explains of why I didn't recognize the place at first. Vestal told me that I need to rest for the day and no commission until I fully recover, but of course I need to focus on handle things with one arm. I was about to get up and exit the hospital with Belfast holding me to get up.

Stuart: "To think I let my guard down and losing a arm."

Belfast: "Don't worry about that, but at least you're alright."

I'm glad Belfast was here to help me out.

Time Skip
Command Center, Azur Lane

Me and Belfast are heading to the Command Center to check on the updates until I bump into Enterprise who was worry about me because she blame herself for me losing my arm, but I told her that it was my fault for not paying attention to my surrounding.

Enterprise(sad): "I'm sorry for what happen to you Stuart. If I hadn't done that than you still have your arm."

Stuart: "Don't worry so much Enterprise and beside it was my fault for not paying attention what's in front of me. So it was my fault."

She accept it and I head to the Commander's office to report in, but of course the Commander order me to rest for the day until they fix my ship that took some heavy damage from what happen to Enterprise which is still a mystery. Belfast was quiet all the way throughout the day which is strange because she normally talk to me, but looks like she has something in her mind.

Stuart: "Something wrong Belfast?"

Belfast: "Stuart what do you think about kids?"

Stuart: "I think their nice and of course they are the future of this world. Why?"

Belfast: "While you pass out from the Battle and waiting for your recovery; I start to feel sick and found out I'm pregnant."

I didn't know what to respond after that because I was shock, but than again we did have sex before Midway so that probably explains that, but I was happy that we become parents.

Stuart: "Did everyone know about this?"

Belfast: "I talk to the Commander and Queen Elizabeth which they both decide to have me not doing any duties until the child is born; however I want to continue as a maid."

I'm glad we're taking this serious, but please don't restraint yourself Belfast. We continue exploring the base holding hands while discussing about how to raise children which the maids of the Royal Navy agree to help us since we're all family. We continue to explore the port until we can hear explosion from the Commander Center which later reveal to be a high ranking Siren named Purifier and she has the dark wisdom cube.

Purifier(laughing): "Look what we got here. Enjoying your date; I wish I could join but duty calls."

Everyone open fire at the Purifier, but she disappear into the portal. This doesn't look good if a high ranking Siren can infiltrate the base and escape without failed. Also she got her hands on the wisdom cube, but right now we need to head for the Command Center to check the damage and see if anyone got wounded. We arrive at the Command Center and see that the Commander's Office was destroyed, but lucky that the Commander wasn't in the room when it was blown up. Shepard was rushing with Prince of Wales and Enterprise which he was shock that his office was destroyed, but at least everyone is alright.

Shepard(angry): "To think we lower our guards."

Prince of Wales: "Only thing that was missing was the black wisdom cube."

This is a serious situation, but the question is would she go back to the Sakura Empire.... No; I think we have been mislead by them because I doubt they would hand this to the Sakura Empire without knowing it so which means they are moving on to their next phase of their plan, but what is it. We continue to think until we got reports of a massive explosion coming from one of the islands which we have it on screen which reveal a giant hole. We also got a report that a giant ship with a large Siren fleet is heading this direction which isn't good and got report from Sheffield that is Orochi leading the fleet.

Shepard: "So this is the main ship for the Sakura Empire and now it's under the command of the Sirens."

Prince of Wales: "I don't think they realize that the Sirens are using them to build this ship and once it's finish they decide to end their relationship."

Shepard: "EVERYONE HEAD TO THE SIREN FLEET AND ENGAGE THEM!"

Everyone cheer and we head out to engage the Sirens.
