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 shells 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 shells. 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-class 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-class destroyer which jumped out carelessly got in the way of a Chi-class 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-class battleship howled. Just like a human being, she frustated, turned the gun barrels to Akebono that couldn't be caught at all.
"Crap!"
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 shell 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-class 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-class 16 inch shell 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.
