Final warning, this isn't a funny happy go lucky lustful love story. This is a war story, taken seriously to the bitter end.
---Story Arc: Healing---
---SMS Kaiser Point Of View---
Flames stretch across the water a mile long, as it is wide, explosions blanket like a carpet bombing along the deep sea's, heavy choking smoke pillows from sinking vessels, men screaming as their none azured ships break apart. Racing atop the waters with the form and posture of one who's ice skating over a river, I make way through. Pushing through to the western flank of the frontal lines. Selfishly, cruelly, Ignoring the screams of agony, of sailors in the water of friendly and enemy origins. Allowing them to drown in the burning oil slicks around their broken up vessels. Ahead through the flames, and heavy smoke, the shadow of my fleeing Target sprinting across the waters. Leaning forwards, I begin swinging my arms with my hands closed into a fist, pushing my ships boilers to bursting point, over clocking the turbines inside with steam, and spinning my ships gearbox units beyond the redlines they'd been tested for. Going into a full sprint across the waters.
"DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!!" Seydlitz screams along side me on the left, with the most rage her heart had ever harbored, veins bulging along her bloody cut open face. Firing her guns aimlessly at the target, her shells only managing to fall short. "TEMPER TEMPER!!" Elbing, sailing behind us as escort yet struggling to keep up, so she's falling behind, begs of Seydlitz to control herself, our supply is scarily low, any waste in shells is death tramental to our battle's longevity . "SHE'S ALMOST IN RANGE! JUST HOLD YOUR DAMN FIRE SEYDLITZ!!!" Thüringen shouts with authority from my right. "Hood killed my best friend! I will not let her GET AWAY!!!" Seydlitz roars sprinting ahead, using the speed granted from being a BattleCruiser to her advantage. The loss of Lutzow was sudden, and happened in a instant... Hoods guns are unlike anything I've even witnessed before... We can't let that ship get away! She's to powerful! If we let her slip away now! Then she'll pick us all off one by one as we get bogged down in battle! Seydlitz despite being filled with rage, and blinded by blood lust for revenge no doubt knew that! "KAISER STOP HER!!! SHE CAN'T FIGHT HER ALONE!!!" Ebling shouts at me, Hood was a battlecruiser too... Those two are far faster then we are capable of moving! They'll end up fighting broadside to broadside and worst of all fighting one another all alone.
"SEYDLITZ WAI- GHA!" I'm thrown into a sudden panic, as a new Azured Warship I hadn't encountered yet leaps through a burning HMS Wreck covered with flames and masked by the heavy dark smog of smoke, I only see her silowet as she jumps out upon me and Thüringen's passing by. I stomp a foot into the ground spinning and twisting my ankle as I throw myself into a weird uncontrolled sudden stopping spin, weaving backwards as I spun, trying desperately to prevent what I knew was happening. "ELBING!!!" I scream out in utter terror as HMS Warspite a battleship with the very same sized main guns as the mighty Hood, ambushed our fallen behind light cruiser. Time seemed to slow down drastically as Thüringen began to do the very same awkward spin and fall as I was, trying hard to put those guns own target. Elbing slides atop her feet trying to stop and redirection herself out of harms way, but Warspite closed the distance seemingly in a instant. Main guns only a few feet from Warspite before they erupted shells out. The final thing I saw was the utter terror of Elbings reflecting from her double colored eyes the barrels of Warspites rigging. Then, the muzzle flash of those guns that blinded us of Elbing, who immediately blew apart in every single direction as a rain shower of blood, mixed with coal, hydraulic fluid, and sea water.
Along with the occasional piece of clothing, or rigging. My eyes burst into this undying rage, I clamp down my teeth bearing them at Warspite, feelings of blood lust wash over and are hard to suppress. My back teeth chip, my hands clench so hard they break the damn skin of the palms with my fingertips alone! My face begins to turn boiling red. For the second time in one battle!!! I've lost yet ANOTHER Of my closest friends to the Royal Navy!!! And all we've taken from them are A COUPLE OF UNAZURED BUCKETS OF BOLTS!!! "ELBING!!!! YOU BASTARDDDD!!!" I scream guns finding their target a fraction of a second after the fact. At the same time Thüringen and I fire everything, the Flak, the casemates, the coning tower machine gun not even meant for ship-on-ship combat, and our main cannons at Warspite, she spins around jumping out the way, while slicing the main caliber shells with this massive Long sword. Immediately training her guns on Thüringen, something inside me clicked when she did. Fear? Or... something else. I couldn't stand the idea of watching another of my warriors die. I place a hand against Thüringen's chest, and shove her backwards behind me as I put myself in between her and Warspite. "GO! Seydlitz needs you RIGHT NOW!!! GO!" I tell her, trying, and struggling to keep my head even remotely level enough to preform my duties as the flagship. My ships and sailors are my priority! "But she just!-" I interrupted her in anger.
