Her normally soft plush ruby lips turned down as all the frustrations from this entire trip was coming to a head. Before any other ship could retaliate/Join in on the scene. She put an end to it. <strong>ENOUGH!</strong> Arizona barked loudly to get everyone attention. The resounding boom was near deafening as Arizona was greatly displeased. Immediately she created a light bridge from her ship to this upstart interloper. She stormed across the bridge, and then across Maori's deck till she was face to face with the Destroyer. "What is the meaning of this!? Why are you here?" Arizona asked. She didn't want to think that this destroyer was their contact. The same entity that she, and the others has been sending reports to for nearly two decades!<br/><br/>Maori quickly hid behind Effie from the scary battleship. Clinging to Effie's shirt. "I-I own this island! No one was here, and there was no fog so I decided it should be mine base of operation." She squeaked softly." "What do you mean no Fog here?" Arizona asked with a growl. Normally Arizona never acted like this. She was generally happy, gentle, and soft spoken. "No, nothing. Though i did find a thing." Maori replied as she hoped that would distract this scary battleship. "A...<em>Thing</em>?" Arizona asked. Maori quickly nodded her head as she started to move Effie along with her. Hoping to use the Cruiser as a shield against the battleship. <br/><br/>Situated upon the fantail of Maori's Deck was a large metallic object about the size of a motor launch. The outer casing was looked like it was sent through a war zone. "Yeah...I's got bored a couple of weeks ago, and tried to see how long Is could keep it in da air with me guns." Maori squeaked, still hiding behind Effie, and angled in such a way to make an escape should the scary battleship try, and attack her. The destroyer correctly assumed that if that happened, Arizona would not use paint rounds. <br/><br/>Slowly, Arizona approached the object, and inspected it. The markings were FOG, so using a bit of nano material, Arizona worked to access it. Several screens popped up, flickering as they scrolled data across. Though after about five minutes, the screens derezz as Arizona's arms fell to her sides. She stood there motionless for a few moments in utter silence. If any of the Mental models could see her hull, they would notice the white glyphs dim considerably, and flicker-flash another color before returning to a subdued white color. Arizona collapsed to her knees, a look of disbelief, almost defeat<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Standing on her bow watching things progress<em>Suzu</em>could only shake her head as she watched the paint display. She had been about to half go to guns when the missiles went off but only for them to reveal it was all an act. She growled a bit in irritation however things got serious when<em>Ari</em>cut the chatter with her loud booming voice. It seemed to scare the smaller destroyer before she moved over to investigate. When questioned the small destroyer revealed she had taken a small thing on her rear deck. Which<em>Ari</em>did move to investigate. She watched her flagship review something on it before she collapsed. Without even thinking<em>Suzu</em>was leaping into action right as pain missiles exploded around<em>Ari</em>showing off a smiley face. However it would<em>Effie</em>who got to<em>Ari</em>first, something that made the normally stoic heavy cruiser choke up on her actions. She hugged her first and something inside of<em>Suzu</em>wrenched loose at the display of concern for her<em>flagship</em>. For reasons unknown to her that made her feel like she had failed. She shook her head clearing her head of such non-sense and walked over to<em>Ari</em>anyway. She knelt down and placed her  hand on<em>Ari</em>'s shoulder before looking at<em>Effie</em>. "I will take her." she said offering to carry<em>Ari</em>back to her ship.<br/><br/>__________________________________________________________<br/><br/><em>Arashi</em>herself stood back observing the goings on and shook her head over it before she watched<em>Ari</em>get hyper pissed. She knew enough not to get in the middle of that cat fight. She then watched as their flagship tried to understand what was going on by looking at something on the back end of the poor destroyer. Whatever it was it made poor<em>Ari</em>collapse in despair. She didn't exactly know what to do but it seemed the others themselves knew exactly what to do so she stayed back behind by the other destroyer. "Well there they go again." she said with a rueful chuckle watching all the other ships be drawn towards<em>Ar</em>in order to comfort her. She turned back to<em>Maori</em>. "So squirt what brought you all the way out here?" she asked her.<br/><br/>_________________________________________________________<br/><br/><em>Texas</em>was about to get in on the paint missile fun when<em>Ari</em>'s booming voice cut through all the crap. "Ah hell she's pissed now." she said shaking her head and watching the other battleship storm over to the poor destroyer and pretty open up on her with a full broadside. Even<em>Texas</em>had to wince when she heard the venom in<em>Ari</em>'s voice when she spoke to the poor frightened destroyer. It had been on her lips to rebuttal<em>Ari</em>'s harsh treatment of the poor girl. Sure the girl's actions made her look like a buffoon but that wasn't an excuse to go off on her like she did. Whatever she had been about to say died on her lips the moment she saw her collapse after examining  the wreckage on her the destroyer's back deck. "Well damnit now ah I don' have it in me to go an say somethin' to her over dis here mess." she said scratching the back of her head. So she decided to try and comfort the poor terrified destroyer. She walked over to her and knelt down. "Hey Sugacube. Nothin ta be scared of. Now you come on out and we'll make things right ok?" she said offering the girl a large<em>Texas</em>smile as she removed her hat to look less intimidating.
