with the amount of damage Jean-Bart's fleet sustained it was little wonder that she decided to pull away. Arizona watched as she saw the surviving ships turn away, and make for safer waters. Arizona battled within herself as to what to do. Normally she would have let them go, but this was the second time her feet was attacked, and feared that if they did let the flagship go again. It will just invite another assault. Probably with a bigger force. Arizona looked back at smoking remains of Abbey, and Ranger. Her Processor twisted with pain at having to sink fellow ships of the Fog. It felt wrong to her.<br/><br/>When Fusou came over the JTN, and stated that the fight was won, Arizona nodded. "Agreed, Fusou. However, i can't simply let Jean-Bart go." Arizona replied, then she opened Channel to the others. "Everyone, stand down. Texas, Zara, and Suzu. Follow me. Effie, Please see to the injured, and see if anyone needs nano materials for repairs. If so, I'll gladly dispense the needed material." Arizona stated before she started to power her engines in pursuit of Jean-Bart.<br/><br/>As she raced to catch up with the retreating ships, Arizona opened a channel to Jean-Bart. "Jean-Bart, cut your engines, and come to a complete stop! Surrender peacefully, and I'll let your fleet return to where they came from." Arizona stated. Though it would appear that the damaged Heavy cruiser that was limping just behind Jean-Bart, Alaska, and Hawaii started to turn, and prepare to defend her Flagship.<br/><br/>Arizona's face darkened as she fired a barrage at the Heavy cruiser. just barely missing the crippled ship.
