BEGIN RECORDING: TALON

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The water splashes softly on the Sakura Empires shore with a girl sitting at the dock, she looks at the calm water that floats underneath her carrying the petals of the blooming Sakura trees that provide their beauty to them all around but it just didn't feel the same as it used to back then. The thoughts of the screams and the pain that they had given to the others were nothing short of dishonourable and disgusting...

She holds her sword next to her along with a long Odachi that was black on the side of the blade and the handle, she hadn't dared to use it after that incident... she could only look at it in shame and pain of the sight of her dead friend at the hands of the monster that did this to them. He was the one that drove her own sword into her chest without mercy, the cries of useless pleas meant nothing to the man who killed her without remorse wanting more.

He wanted to kill them all...but who could blame Wolf? She couldn't, Hakuryuu had payed the ultimate price for her miserable deeds that she had done to Wolf first by cutting him down and cutting his brother down with the same blade. He did it to protect his family only to fail at it...it wasn't meant to end like that but after what the Sakura Girls had done were nothing more than evil. The crying children for their families, sisters calling out to crushed brothers under rubble never to see the light again.

They were were looking at a monster when themselves were no better and now all they could do now was wait for Akagi and Kaga to create the Orochi project, this saving grace that she could not see... The girl at the pier puts her friends sword down picking up a rock and tossing it across the water. It makes splashing noises in the darkness to it eventually sinks in the cold deep blue water that surrounded the whole island.

It was their mighty shield and they were the sword that strikes the worthy and protects the unworthy for they are the ones who are going to bring the new changes to the world but after that mission the girl did not think so. Her long hair rests at the back on the cherry coated dock that was spotless for dust. She was deep in her own world of meditation till the sound of a voice began to pierce the deathly silence.

"Zuikaku there you are.... where have you been?" The white haired girl said to her calmly stepping to the side of Zui to look at the same see that her sister had been looking at. She could see that her sister was upset, she felt unworthy to wield a sword again after what she and the rest had done, The sight of Ander's body crashing into the water with a pool of blood along with the grieving brother of his that his tears splash into the blood clutching him dearly.

He cried for his brothers name in a wail but he would never hear the call as they fall on deaf ears begging for his brother to come back, the others could only watch in pity and pain while other smiled with delight and those were her and the rest, she hadn't accepted the fact that Anders was dead with her and the rest denying their involvement... but it would not matter anymore. What was done is done and there was nothing that she or the rest could do about it.

"Lady Yamato told me that I need to clear my head from that previous encounter with our foe", "Zui..... it's haunting you isn't it?" The girls said in a tender voice placing her arm softly on her sisters shoulder who began to sob in pain. She wanted to hug her older sister and have her tell her that everything was alright but she and her knew that it was not going to be right knowing that retribution was coming their way eventually but they were not sure when.

"I watched our commander die to Hakuryuu and Wolf killed her for it.... I...I don't know who is right in all of this...we ripped his family apart". She knew this thanks to diving into his records as well to see that his mother and father were murdered in cold blood by the Ferri right in the siblings eyes with Ella going missing and Anders becoming KIA....
