It was here,where I will die,it was here,where I will be sunk,alone,without my friends or family,I had failed them all,My allies,My nation,My Commander

Commander,he died because of Me,because I was too weak,I couldn't protect him from his enemies,he died because of Me and only Me,this was the fate I have come to accept because of my utter failure

All of my vows to him,all the promises I made to them,all of the effort we all put into winning this war was broken and worth nothing

This was my fate,to be sunk as a failure,alone and away from the others,this is what I deserved for being an utter failure as a ship,those who are useless in combat only deserved to be sunk to the bottom of the depths

???:are we ready to begin the practice

???:yes sir,everything is in place for the recruits

???:good,then we begin immediately

Those were the words I could hear from land,voices from the enemy Commanders echoed around Me yet,I wasn't even there,I was a shipgirl but now,I am only a ship,a ship without a Wisdom Cube,a ship set to have it's last breath as a target for new Commanders to hit

There was nothing I could do but watch,the people I had been fighting for so long,the people I swore to kill and destroy,now had Me as nothing more than scrap,to be used a target for their future leaders,that will soon lead forces against my remaining friends

That didn't matter now though,all was already lost when I lost him,everything crumbled down when he died,My Commander,My reason to fight and lived,died because of Me,so I must follow his fate and follow him till death

???:FIRE!!!

The sounds of cannon roared,I watched as shell after shell was shot at Me,filling Me with holes,damaging my cannons,destroying my torpedoes and worst of all,demolishing the bridge I had spent so much time in with him,a place of sanctuary for us,a place of peace for us,now turned to a destroyed tower of metal

Shot after shot,torpedo after torpedo,bomb after bomb,until finally,I began to sink,I was torn in half,full of holes and with nothing worth saving apart from pointless memories

I began to sink beneath the waves as the enemies on land celebrated their comrades successful guidance of attacks all while I felt myself disappear from this world for good good,this body,that no one can see and the body that now floats down to the ocean floor,both to disappear in the eyes and memories of the people in this world

All I hope for is,where ever I go,I hope I get to my Commander,even if it is just for a fraction of a second,I hope to see him one last time

Takao:My Commander,where ever you are right now,I hope to see you one last time,so I may see if you are resting well now,even without Me,this is my only wish,to put my mind to ease

With my final thoughts,I felt myself leave this world once again,with my body disappearing for no one else to see

The Fate of a Ship like Me,is to remain on the bottom of the Sea
