<em>Arizona</em>was confused as Aya explained that she had been hit with quite a shock, what shock? The battleship's head tilted rather cutely as she tried to piece together what was happening. The fog of her memory still a bit hazy, but clearing. Yet the unease in her core felt like a knot tying tighter, and tighter as dread seemed to creep into the back of her mind. As Aya began, she spoke of an event that was inconceivable to Arizona. That she went berserk, and attacked her own fleet. "No..." She squeaked in shock, her hand coming up to her mouth. Yet the news only grew worse in the telling. Next came a great battle to subdue her, the words causing Arizona's face to grow paler, and paler by the moment. A pain filled squeaked lipped from her lips as Aya then informed her that<em>Yamato</em>had her gravity cannon forcibly ripped from her along with all the Subroutines so she could never possess one again. A very drastic move that made Ari's hand come to rest upon her stomach as if she just heard news that she had lost a child that has yet to be born.<br/><br/>Arizona wanted to refuse to believe it. It was so horrible to even think about. She attacked her fleet, and they had to fight to subdue her. Yamato, herself, even had to remove something that was one of the things that was very much a Battleship's Identity, their Gravity cannon. Yet, she knew Aya was telling the truth. She felt it deep within her core. She did attack her fleet, she did need to have her greatest weapon removed for the safety of the others. Though her knees felt weak, Ari refused to collapse under the weight of her sins.<br/><br/>Yet, Aya would show that there was still much more for her to bare. Arizona would find out, again, that her fleet was hunted down and their memories wiped to prevent the incident from getting out as it could have been disastrous for the cohesion of the fleet. How much more was Arizona expected to endure?<br/><br/>Much more it would appear. Arizona turned her attention from the surrounding void back to the submarine as Aya admitted that both She, and<em>Fusou</em>were spies sent to keep an eye upon them. Yet for different masters. It was making Ari's head spin.<br/><br/>Once Aya was finished, Arizona was quiet for several long moments as she processed it all. Her Processor felt like it was on the verge of over heating as she tried to cope with everything she heard, or a second time. It hurt, but these were facts that she had to accept. No matter the pain. Yet there was some brightness to it all. She saw that her fleet was intact, and sailing peacefully as it seemed. They even grown by a couple of ships. She remembered seeing<em>Fusou</em>among them. And Aya was right here before her. Not some JTN avatar, but Aya in the flesh as it were. That appeared she had made her choice, and it was to continue with the others. So while Arizona can't help what happened in the past, she can start taking steps for a Peaceful Future.<br/><br/>After a while, Arizona took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Though she had no need for air, it was an exercise that seemed to help clear her processor. Once she opened her eyes, she focused upon Aya once more before extending her arms out to the Submarine. A smile upon her lips. "Then does this mean you have found your way home, Aya-chan?" Arizona asked as she held out her arms as if to beckon the sub in for an embrace.
