The lost battleship of the southern trench

Chapter 3

??? POV

Now it had been several hours later since Blue and I had gone to sleep. Now I started to wake up, I looked around still a little sleepily, I noticed that Blue was no longer beside me. I looked around for a moment and could tell that she was not in the room either.

*Did she ditch me?* I thought to myself as I walked through the room towards the door.

Though now when I exited the room I saw the monster head things still lying on the ground in front of the door, I also saw Blue against the wall on an odd thing. It seemed to have a strange monster head in the shape of a bow, at the end of it were three flight deck looking pieces sticking out of it at an angle, all together it looked to be the shape of a lounging chair. The whole thing was colored black and white with light blue accents.

Blue seemed to be lounging casually on the monster like thing. Though now I could see Blue much better in the light of day, and could make out her features much better and I have to admit she is beautiful. I could also see a strange light blue pattern on her right thigh; it had two, five petaled Sakura leaves, along with patterns for the branches of a tree.

"Good morning" she said when she noticed me "you left your riggings blocking the doorway. It took some time for me to get past them"

I tilted my head curiously at what Blue had just called them "rigg... ings?" I said in a curious voice.

Now she pointed at the monster heads that I had on before "those are riggings, battleship riggings to be exact, like how mine are carrier riggings. They're our equipment that we use to navigate the ocean, and for battle"

"Oh..." I say "sorry about that" now I went over to my riggings and put them back on "so do you have any ideas where we might head to find someone to help us?"

Now Blue stood up from her riggings and walked closer to me "Well I've been heading East for a while, so let's go that way" now as she stood in front of me, I could see she was a few centimeters shorter than myself. Though after a few seconds of her looking up at me, she turned around and walked away towards the water, with her riggings seemingly starting to float and follow behind her.

"Alright then" I say before starting to follow her.

We looked to be near the water, on a road that was raised a few meters above the water. The remains of the abandoned city could be seen from where we were, abandoned vehicles and other items could be seen all around.

Now there were several quiet minutes between the two of us, as we walked, first towards the water, then as we skated across the water. I followed slightly behind her, and off to her right side, though when we got onto the water I could see her lounging on her riggings. Then the silence was broken after a few minutes when I asked "Wait, how did you get a name? Did you name yourself? Or..."

Blue let out a small sigh and slowed down slightly so we were side by side "I was named by another Trench Abyssal, shortly after I awoke. That's how I got the other information as well" Blue answered.

"Hmm? Why didn't you stay with them? Did they not want you to be with them?"

She shook her head "no, quite the opposite. She was willing to, as she put 'add to our ranks'. But while we were talking, we were suddenly attacked by normal Abyssals and were split up. When I had made it to safety, I wasn't with that Trench Abyssal anymore, and I couldn't find her anywhere I looked, so I started wandering around and ended up on that island we met on"

"I see... wait! Why did the normal Abyssals attack you? I mean you were both Abyssals weren't you?"

"I don't know, perhaps the Trench Abyssal I met was just a traitor or something else"
