The Predator of the Depths

Purity

Alicorn's fleet limps their way into Hawaii, everyone's injured in one way or another, a few ship girls are being carried by other ship girls, their ships having taken to much damage. No Kasen we're killed, only a few HO ships lost and a dozen planes lost. Deaths were minimal, but injuries are massive.

Alicorn's sub pulls into the docks, smoke billowing out the front and left side of it. She's still in her Archange mode, her visor up as blood continues to dribble down her face. She keeps a hand on the missing chunk on her left side.

She keeps a frown on despite her injuries and pain. Purifier silently floats right behind her, nursing a large bruise forming over her right eye.

The sub slightly shakes as it stops, and Alicorn jumps onto the docks, with Purifier silently following from behind.

Suddenly Alicorn finds herself surrounded by MP officers, aiming their guns at Purifier. Team Destroyers run up behind them, their rigging ready for a fight. Yorktown, using a cane with some difficulty, limps towards the the group.

Alicorn pulls Purifier behind her, as the battered Siren girl looks around, her clenching her fists. Enterprise steps past Alicorn, standing in front of the MPs. Enterprise is nursing her right arm as blood pours from her shoulder, she has one of her eyes closed as blood falls from a large gash on her forehead.

"What's the meaning of this, sister?" Enterprise asks Yorktown.

Yorktown walks past team Destroyers and the human soldiers, and stands in front of her slightly shorter sister.

"You know why." Yorktown glances at Purifier, who tries to avoid her gaze by hiding behind Alicorn. "I won't have her on my base."

"That's not a decision for you to make."

"Our Commander is currently not on base, so I'm acting Commander. And I will not have that thing, on my base." Yorktown goes to bring up her hand, but Enterprise stops her. "Enterprise, lets me go."

Enterprise narrows her eyes at her older sister. "Do you not trust your daughter."

"She's been poisoned by them before,-" Yorktown points at Purifier. "-By her! I will not have that Siren here. She endangers everyone here with her very presence! And I will not have that."

Enterprise lets go of Yorktown, and walks over to Alicorn, stepping in front of her and Purifier. "I will not let you touch either of them."

"You... You know what she's done to us. You, me, Alicorn... Hornet. She's the very reason for a lot of our trouble! And you side with her?!"

All the ship girls watch from the edge of the water, all nursing their injuries, but remining silent.

"She..." Enterprise closes her eye and takes a deep breath, before staring at her older sister. "I will trust Alicorn with her judgement. Don't you trust your own daughter."

Alicorn glances between Enterprise and her mother, deciding it's best to remain silent.

Yorktown goes to say something, bit just closes her mouth before letting out a long sigh. She then glances at Alicorn, who stares back. "Fine... but until we are sure we can trust her. She will be in special containment." She motions for the MPs to take her.

The soldier's walk forward and move Alicorn and Enterprise away from Purifier. Then they lead Purifier away, as she remains silent. Team Destroyers glance back at Alicorn, and wave to her, before following after the MPs.

Purifier glances back at Alicorn, and Alicorn nods to her. Purifier smiles before she disappears into a building. Suddenly an alarmed voice is heard.

"Out of the way!" Vestal runs towards the fleet, supplies in hand. "Everyone get to the infirmary, the most serious injuries I will treat now."
