It hurt Ari to see Bay so broken up about this. She had hoped that Bayern would understand that she was not leaving her, or the others permanently. However, as Bayern pulled away Arizona released her. She knew that Bayern will not listen to her anymore. She was just thankful for Bayern for lowering her Klein field. Arizona stood up and was about to speak when she saw Texas come along side, and hope onto the deck before approaching Bayern to get her to try, and cheer up. Suzu would be there shortly after. Promising that Arizona would be protected. Arizona gave Suzu a soft smile in thanks. Though the blush did make the Cruiser look cute. Though before Arizona would leave, She approached Bayern one more time, and leaned into whisper in her ear. "I promise I'll come back. And I'll bring everyone else back too."<br/><br/>With that, Arizona let out a breath. "Come Suzuya. We should not keep Shinano waiting any longer than we have." Arizona stated with a determined tone as she created a light bridge to her ship. As she stepped onto her deck, Arizona opened a channel to Iya. "We're ready Iya." She called out as she started to pull away from the fleet. Arizona opened up one last channel to Effie, "Please take care of them till I get back Effie." She said warmly. Completely confident that Effie would protect her fleet.
