Kantai Collection – Kankore – Kagerou, Batsubyou Shimasu! Vol 1 Chapter 6.2

Part 2

Looking at the water pillars here and there, it seemed as if you've been lost in an unexplored forest . Abyssal Fleet's sh.e.l.ls were growing trees of death . The approaching instant-death was waiting .  

The Abyssal Fleet that were covered and devoted with energy were rushing towards Akebono .

"Ah, geez! They're so many!"

Akebono has already used up her torpedoes and firing blindly with the remaining 12 . 7cm cannon to attack . The gun barrel was heated up long ago, and thanks to the radiant heat, her face was as good as sunburned . Nevertheless, she couldn't stop firing . She have to do something in order to let the cargo ship escape . A group of Abyssal Fleet shone brightly .  

"Starboard!"

She screamed to herself, then turning right . The water pillars that were made were like chasing her trail one after another .

Starboard, immediately after that, portside . And again, starboard . Akebono repeated the "之" character movement . It's resembling the training with Kagerou and others . Not just for the fleet escort, it could also be used to escape the sh.e.l.ls . It's even more so if it's a small, quick-witted and agile destroyer .

Again, the 12 . 7cm cannon shot . It directly hit a Ro-cla.s.s destroyer that was the closest to her . It overturned and sank .

"I did it!"

In the end, the leisure time to be immersed with joy was not lasted even half a second . She was attacked by every Abyssal Fleet because of her provocation and noise . She wondered many times, 'Are all the enemies in this sea area have arrived?'

That's fine . I've earned some time . Come more, come more .

A Ro-cla.s.s destroyer which jumped out carelessly got in the way of a Chi-cla.s.s torpedo cruiser, it hit it's ally torpedo and the torpedo exploded . A pillar of fire pierced the sky .

Akebono repeated the "之" character movement .  Maybe I can go . I can be helped . Maybe I can even survive .

At that moment, a roar that's impossible to made echoed .

The Ru-cla.s.s battleship howled . Just like a human being, she frustated, turned the gun barrels to Akebono that couldn't be caught at all .

"c.r.a.p!"

Akebono swallowed her breath . Water pillars of with size that couldn't be compared to before rose everywhere . A tremor that even made the air shook and a noise that pierced the atmosphere to the extent that it would make anyone suprised .
 

And as the Abyssal Fleets got stuck, she would still be attacked .  

She put off the seawater from her head .

"Uhh, it's too salty and disgusting . "

Because of that, now her course was broken . If she tried to rebuild her course, further bombardment would strike .

"Wait, what's with that!"

The impact came from a point-blank range . She got struck by a detonation in her chest, she felt that even the nonexistent parts that didn't look good had become even flatter .  [TL's note : LOL XDDDD]

This time, the impact came from right behind . She almost tumbled upside-down .  

She held out and put strength into her feet . After stopping the capsize, she turned portside . She performed a broken movement to measure the enemy as much as possible . Time was a mark of victory .

The more you earn more time, the more you earn victory .

But that too, came to the limit .

The bombardments were approaching and enveloping Akebono . Water pillars rose up .

While taking a shower of seawater and turning the rudder to the right, she avoided the bombardments storm . The last water pillar collapsed, she miraculously got through without any damage .

The next moment, Akebono face turned stiff .

Before her eyes, were a large group of Abyssal Fleet . It seemed as if the ocean was completely filled . The blue eyes were all turned to her .

Akebono realized that she was trapped . So far, every bombardment was controlled . It was a plan to make sure she would be caught .

"Pre-prepare to launch torpedo . . . "

It didn't launch . It's already used . If you shoot torpedo several times, it will be over . Naturally, she couldn't go back to the home port .

The sh.e.l.l dropped much closer than before .

“Nnh!”

The impact caused the 12 . 7cm gun turret to slip from her hands . It flew to the distance then fell down . As her awareness became distant, she bit her lips with resignation clearly .

The installed Torpedo Tubes on her thighs were about to unfastened .  I'll take it off myself and throw it away here . This thing is just a dead weight if it can't shoot .

"This makes me even faster! Both sides, full . . . . eh?"

The movement is sluggish . The size of the white waves was smaller than before .

The speed isn't coming out . Because the earlier bombardments, the main machine is unsteady . The speed, which is the greatest advantage of a destroyer, was lost .
Impatiently, she yelled at her feet .

"Dammit, move properly!"

The next explosion was accompanied by fragments .
She reflectively covered her face . Fleet Girls are much stronger than real humans because they generate special defense barrier . But when exposed to such bombardment, the end would come soon .

She felt that . Her strength until now was surely being heard by the Ru-cla.s.s battleship . That's why they shoot like that .

Another water pillar . She felt an underwater explosion ruptured at the bottom of her feet . She almost capsized upside down .

"Not yet!!"

Even so, Akebono shouted .

"It's only . . . It's only the main armament, torpedo, and machine component that were destroyed, so!"

She's crumbling while raising her body up .  I won't stop fighting even if there's only a last part of my body remained . If there's a stone here, I would throw it, and if there's a stick here, I would use it like a sword .  However, even if you look around, there were only sea water and Abyssal Fleets .

The approaching monsters . The desire to seize a dead prey . The Abyssal Fleets looked amused . Because the trouble is over, it will be fun .  Have the fleet escaped? Have they reached the safe sea area? What are everyone at 14th DesDiv doing? Are they asleep? Are they playing? Are they giving a celebration because a stupid uncooperative girl is gone? Nagatsuki, Satsuki, Arare, Ushio . And then Kagerou . At least, please forget about the stupid thing like myself . The Ru-cla.s.s 16 inch sh.e.l.l that coming from above, please don't fall to them .

The explosion lifted her body up . Right after she got her balance, her left leg sank .

(Portside is being flooded!?)

When the main engine attached to the feet lost its floating power, Fleet Girls called it flooded . When the flooding continues, no matter what happens, they would sunk . Akebono's left leg submerged up to the area of her thigh .

"Flood the right side!"

She purposely flood the right side to lose it's floating power . She sink her right leg as much as her left leg to balance left and right . It's the most basic of the basics of damage control .

But because her Main Machine was broken because of the bombardment, and she had no idea what to do .

Following the left leg, the right leg sinks . She couldn't stop midway . She tried to pull her feet off from the surface of the sea, but this time she lost her balance and half turned .

(I'm sinking!?)

Her face was soaked in seawater .
