BEGIN RECORDING: TALON

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

The smoke fills the air with sparks fly out of every swing sending someone crashing into one of the buildings that were still standing in the Sakura Empire. Wolf took a big hit but was able to get back up but Yamato was going to dish as much punishment that she could against Ohio her old friend. They revered each other back then and they were happy once but now it was nothing more than burned bridges.

Yamato swings her Odachi down with a thunderous roar to which Wolf swings upwards in a thunderous roar. The sudden clang between the swords blew the walls apart sending the building toppling down like a demolished building but the two were faster than pieces of rubble clashing at each other as Shoukaku woke up to see that her and Zui were in handcuffs. She wasn't sure what happened but upon seeing her devastated rigging along with Zui's.

The outcome was decided on her behalf, she was glad that Wolf didn't kill her and Zui but now he was fighting Yamato with all his strength. "Zui are you alright?" She asked calmly but the look on her sisters face made her worried. Her eyes were dead, it was like she had seen a ghost and her soul had been sucked out from her body leaving nothing but a Sakura Husk. "Sister what did Wolf do to you?".

She was fearful for her sisters health, she does not respond except looking to the sky to find the answers that she could not say, she had no words to say from it all. The things she seen Wolf go through, the things that he had told her were beginning to join together in a way that she never wanted to see. All she could do now was wish....wish that it would all be over and this never happened for she was the one that sparked the raging fire that clashes with Yamato.

Her nation was the gas that fuelled it even more cutting down innocents and his dear brother that was the only family he had left, the sobbing and the crying from him and the others that day ringed out to her as the others shot him down for being weak. The more she thought about it and the more that it weighed on her she was going to feel sick eventually. But right now she had to stay in some state of mind..

Even if it was catatonic

Shoukaku could understand what her sister was feeling, she knew what she was thinking in that little brain of hers. Wolf was right that they were just a cog in a machine that was just using them to do it's job, they were not cared for or loved for by the higher ups let alone Akagi and Kaga, they didn't even acknowledge their presence let alone the effort they had done to help them out and now they left them in the dust.

Shoukaku knew that she should of stepped in sooner to tell her sister the truth but insisted she relied on an old friend to tell her the truth and that old friend wanted to be far away from them. They had already caused Wolf so much trouble that now he had to burn their own place down to get it through to them that they were meant to be helping humanity not fighting against it. As much as it pained Shoukaku to look at her burning home she could only wonder.

What was this war against Azur Lane all about? they were fighting against them so they could manipulate the Sirens but it appears that they were the ones that were being influenced by their power, they wanted it to use it on them but in the end the Sirens had them all worked out before they shook on the agreement. This was the consequences of their actions as the sound of sobbing could be heard from Zuikaku.

She had her hands tied behind her back so she couldn't comfort her with a hug so she does the best thing that she could of done for her sister laying her head on her sisters shoulder as sheets all the emotions flow. She thought that she was ready for war but the visions of what Wolf had to contend with had told her that she knew nothing at all about it. It was nothing more than pride and honour that she wanted to keep only to fracture the world around her.
