CHAPTER 47: Unwanted Guest

Sakura Empire Territorial Waters

June 14, 1942

2:00 PM

Musashi and Lucas are heating-up in the battlefield, as they both start firing at each other with their Main-guns. Lucas with the help of his Aegis Combat System all of his shots hits their mark. But the 'THICC' armor of Musashi prevented any further damages, she only receives damage at the superstructure.

Musashi fires her 18inch Main Guns at Lucas, all the shots are messed some were intercepted by his RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile. Her targeting system is also being jammed her Odachi could not reach him, as he maintains his distance at her.

Musashi is panting heavily. "I... I can't believe you manage to... evade all....my attacks." She said as she holds her Odachi with two hands and tiredness is catching-up to her.

Lucas is also breathing heavily. "Yeah.... I can't believe I manage it too.... This is the reason why I was created in mind for endurance."

"Let's finish it then..." Musashi said in a low tone, but a serious one. She the dashes forward with all the strength she could master in one single deadly slash.

Lucas is to tire to move, his speed becomes sluggish. But he still moves out in the way, then it was too late. Musashi manage to slash his tripod mast housing any of his various Communication Antennas and Radars.

"Shit!" That's the only word he could say as his tripod mast was cut-down and falls in the ocean and sinks.

Musashi fell to her knees, as she lost all of her energy and strength in one desperate attack. She uses her Odachi as a cane to keep herself from tumbling, as she tries to get-up.

Lucas still has an energy left, sail towards her. he points Repulse sword at Musashi's neck, as he looks at her down.

"I won... you wasted all your energy and strength in one single attack. I requested that you surrender." He said panting.

Musashi clinch her fist, as she looks at him in the eye dead serious. "Kill me... Kill me!"

She then starts crying her head is hanging low as she looks down tears falling from both of her eyes. "I rather die than lived as a failure. I failed as Flagship of the Fleet! So, I deserve to die! Please kill me now...."

Lucas is not having any of that shit, he lower Repulse's sword and slaps her hard to awake her from her own delusion. Musashi held her right cheek to where she was slapped, Lucas then prepares his knife-hand as his Gunnery Sgt. Kicks-in and he starts berates her.

"I don't give a crap about dying because of the failure! In the Marine Corp. you are not allowed to die without permission. And yet her you are asking me to kill you, because you're a failure. You give up in life and continue to think that you're a failure, because of that your always been a failure. Surrender is not cowardness, it's just rational thinking. If you die her who would tell your sister Yamato when she wake-up. You died, because you're a failure. The People and Friends who give their trust into you! live... live so that you could see them again."

Musashi cries even harder as she hears those word, she planning to die in this battle so that she could drag all blame in her grave. But those words change her.

"I-I surrender..." Musashi announced.

Lucas then contacts all the Azur Lane combatants in the area. "All units' cease fire. I repeat. All units' cease fire. The enemy Flagship has surrenders."
