Javelin : Ora!

Javelin punched one of the Sopoids who tried to approach her with her left hand and immediately slashed at the Sopoid with the energy sword in her left hand. Laffey who was behind Javelin kept firing her automatic cannons and killing quite a few Sopoids, but they kept coming.

Kawakaze who was not far from them parried the bite of a Grunt with her Katana, with all her might Kawakaze kicked the Grunt as far as she could and immediately resisted attacks from other Grunts who took the opportunity. Kawakaze's eyes shone bright blue and instantly performed a rotating slash, effectively killing the three Grunts that ganged up on her.

Nagato groaned while clawing at one of the Sopoids who was trying to flank Kawakaze from behind, and the Sopoid was instantly torn apart by Nagato's sharp claws.

Nagato : Damn, I should have focused on healing myself...

Ciel : The rice has turned into porridge, Madame Nagato, we can't change it back, unless your name is Observer Alpha.

Nagato : Grrr I know (break the neck of one of the Grunts)

Ayanami fired her Railgun at a Spiker that was about to attack using the spikes on its tail, the Spiker fell with the upper half missing.

Atago, now still naked, used the remnants of the power Leviathan had given her and created a crystal sword through which she killed quite a number of Sopoid, Spiker and Grunts that approached.

Nagato : Atago! Is this really where the Superordinate is?! I can't see anything that looks like a blue flower here!

Atago : IT's close... over there! behind that wall of flesh!

They all looked at the wall of flesh throbbing, as if it were a living being. But in front of the wall of flesh there were so many Sopoid, Grunt and Spiker guarding the wall.

Nagato : are they gathered in one place? Lucky. Ayanami! Charge your Railgun! I want three to take Ayanami front!

Ayanami immediately took a kneeling position on one leg and the Railgun started charging. On her left and right are Javelin and Laffey who are ready to protect Ayanami. Laffey fired her automatic cannon with high-explosive shells right at the silent Sopoid crowd, killing many of them. Several Grunts charged forward, but were directly confronted by Javelin who was ready with her energy sword and energy spear.

Javelin : Thou should not pass.

Javelin immediately tackled one of the Sopoids with her feet and used her body weight to crush the Sopoid's head, Javelin then immediately threw the energy spear with her left hand at one of the Spikers, restrained the creature and lost its head due to a slash from Javelin's energy sword, Javelin bravely confronted countless Leviathan creatures, with her body continuing to receive punishment but she still stood tall and responded to all of their attacks with more brutality and ferocity.

Kawakaze also fought alongside Javelin, but it was Javelin who got all the punishment on her body.

Several cluster missiles exploded behind the formation of Leviathan creatures (Spiker, Grunt and Sopoid). The missiles came from the HAIL system in Nagato's rigging, and this time she used Wakizashi and her iron claws.

Ayanami: 100 percent! Javelin, Miss Kawakaze, Laffey! step aside!

Javelin and Kawakaze immediately jumped behind Ayanami, Javelin ignored the painful wounds all over her body, Laffey also retreated while giving covering fire with her automatic cannon.

Ciel immediately used one of her skills, a bubble-shaped energy shield to protect Atago, Nagato, Kawakaze, Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami and herself.

Ayanami's railgun immediately fired 350 grams of tungsten at a speed of over mach 45 and instantly tore through the flesh wall and killed all of its guards due to the energy shock from Ayanami's weapon.

Ayanami's railgun also overheated and immediately damaged after the attack, much to her dismay.

Nagato: Kawakaze! You take the points, Atago and I will be with you. Javelin, Ayanami, Laffey and Ciel stay behind us okay?

Kawakaze nodded and advanced inside the Flesh wall, followed by Nagato and Atago. While the other four followed by keeping their distance.

The moment they made it inside, they were all flabbergasted at the Superordinate's beauty, the blue light from its top that seemed to tempt everyone to approach It, but that had to be shattered when they saw Kaga's body hanging from the ceiling with tentacles.

Atago: Kaga!

Atago tried to advance but was held back by Kawakaze with a frown on her face.

Kawakaze : cancel your intentions, or we will die.

Kawakaze said in a cold tone.

Atago looked like she wanted to fight Kawakaze, but didn't because Nagato was there.

Nagato : Girls, we have to help her.

Kawakaze: how? shall we cut the tentacles?

Nagato : Of course, genius.

While they were talking, the Superordinate suddenly throbbed, taking the shipgirls by surprise.

Nagato : It's alive!

Atago : Hai, Nagato-sama, with all due respect, we must destroy this cursed creature, before it is too late!

Nagato : Of course, now, where is a good place to make a holes-

Suddenly, Superordinate grabbed Nagato with its huge tentacle, it made Kawakaze and the others go into shock.

Superordinate??? : Ahh my dear Nagato... Finally you came to me.

Nagato: Gahh!! (wriggle)

Superordinate blinked, as if amused by Nagato's panicked expression.

Superordinate??? : Now no one can bother us anymore... We will be together... Happy... Hehehehahahaha!!!

Kawakaze fired her cannon at the Superordinate's Tentacle that was holding back Nagato, but Kawakaze was instantly sent flying due to a heavy slap from the Superordinate's tentacle, while Atago just stood still.

Nagato who saw that was about to scream but was speechless when she saw Ciel, Javelin, Laffey and Ayanami who had been caught by the Sopoids, with Javelin who was stabbed by her own spear that pierced her solar plexus. While Laffey, Ciel and Ayanami were restrained with mini tentacles.

Nagato : no... don't! Don't hurt them!

Superordinate??? : As per your request, love. I will grant your request.

The Sopoid who stabbed Javelin with her own energy spear immediately pulled it quite violently, while the other Sopoid released their grip on Ciel, Laffey and Ayanami.

Nagato : What do you want from us?!

Superodinate??? : No... I just want you, you're quite stubborn, but in fact now, you're comfortable with... like a dog... heheh...

Nagato was disgusted, but she was familiar with the Superordinate's voice, but she couldn't guess.

Nagato : I'm not a dog hey! Damn... I...

Nagato suddenly lost consciousness and was convulsing.

...
.....

Nagato suddenly woke up in the traditional sweaty sweat, she frantically looked left and right and found herself in a kind of bedroom with a Japanese bedroom.

Nagato : where... am I?

Suddenly the bedroom door swung open, and there was a big man, had a neat beard with a little gray hair, and had dark purple eyes.

??? : Ohh, Mom, you're awake.

Nagato : M-Mom?! Who are you?! Why are you looked so familiar?!

??? scratched the back of his head and said.

??? : Gosh, mother's Alzheimer's disease has relapsed, right, Helian should have given her some medicine before going to bed... Ahem, introduce me, my name is Leman 'Russ' Penrose, I am your son.

The big man, or we should call him Russ, said while stroking his beard.

Nagato : Russ...? Why does that sound so... familiar?

Russ : Mom must be tired after last night's party, do you want to go back to sleep, I'll tell Dad if you want.

Nagato : uhh.. No! no need, I'll get up.

Carefully while enduring this head-splitting headache, Nagato got up from the Futon she was laying on earlier.

Russ looked at Nagato with a worried look and slowly led her to a kind of living room, and Nagato gaped at the sight of a male/female figure sitting on the sofa watching TV, that figure was very similar to Enterprise.

Russ : Hey Pa, Mother is awake.

The figure who was called "Pa" by Russ immediately turned to Nagato and smiled gently, what she saw in front of her now was Enterprise in casual clothes and short hair, on her face that started to shrink there were several wounds.

Enterprise??? : Hey love, good morning.

Nagato : Aa... good morning...

Nagato returned Enterprise's morning greeting awkwardly and confusedly.

Russ nodded and went into the kitchen, probably helping someone cook in the kitchen since Nagato could smell very good smells. Wait... If this is a dream, how can she smell food?!

Nagato decided to sit beside the Enterprise?? and take a deep breath.

Enterprise?? : What is it, honey? You look confused, has your Alzheimer's relapsed again?

Nagato : I don't have Alzheimer's... I'm healthy...

Enterprise?? : Haiya... that sounds pretty bad, how about we visit Vestal after this?

Nagato was pensive for a while, still processing everything that had happened during these few minutes. It felt like a dream, but so real.

Nagato : sure... why not.

Enterprise?? smiled and the scene changed.

Nagato blinked many times and suddenly she was already in the hospital garden, wearing typical spring clothes, beside her was Enterprise?? who is reading a book.

Nagato : Huh... Where am I?

Enterprise?? looked at Nagato in confusion.

Enterprise?? : Nagato, are you still sick?

Nagato lowered her head and held her head.

Nagato : I... I don't know, okay! I'm... confused...

Enterprise?? smiled and patted Nagato's head gently.

Nagato's fox ears immediately twitched wildly. Nagato blushed slightly and widened her eyes when suddenly the scene changed again, now suddenly she was in a graveyard.

Nagato walked among the graves there, and saw two names that sounded very familiar. Leman "Russ" Penrose and Hideaki Kanno.

Nagato gently stroked Hideaki's tomb and slowly shed tears, Hideaki Kanno was Nagato's last captain before she transferred to the United States navy, then Leman was her last captain before she became a shipgirl and was dragged into the flow of inter-dimensional war.

Nagato : heh... ignorance is bliss indeed.

Nagato knelt in front of the two graves clasping her hands together, praying. A few moments later, Nagato finished praying and saw the shadows of her two captains standing before her with ghostly smiles.

Then suddenly Nagato lost her breath and started convulsing in front of the graves of her two captains, before finally moving back again, this time in a place that seemed to be on another planet. There are so many giant mushroom trees that are clawing at the sky.

Nagato slowly normalized her breathing, and walked along the path that seemed to be shining as if guiding her.

A few minutes passed, and Nagato found herself face to face with the Prince Of Wales who was staring at her with a piercing gaze. When she saw that gaze, Nagato already knew, this Wales was not the Wales she knew.

Nagato immediately formed a stance and Wales without waiting directly lunged at Nagato with her Saber.

But suddenly, Nagato found herself in the grip of the Superordinate's tentacle, returning to reality. Nagato looked around in confusion, and immediately vomited blood as one of the Superordinate Tentacles tightened its grip.

Nagato : fucker..! Guhk...

Kawakaze who saw her mistress was in trouble immediately shot back by slashing at several tentacles blocking her path, not forgetting to fire her cannon.

Atago, blocking Kawakaze's path with her crystal sword.

Kawakaze : Atago! What does this mean?!

Atago : must... protect..

Atago gave a kick strong enough to make Kawakaze fly back into the wall of the room, Kawakaze felt that several of her ribs were broken. Nagato who saw her friend in pain immediately struggled even harder.

Superordinate?? : Hehahahaha! I am always amused when I see that face of yours, O great Nagato.

Nagato : what do you want really bastard?! Why did you kill so many people?! What is your purpose?!

Nagato shouted in frustration, several of her VLSs were exposed and threatened to launch missiles, but Superordinate didn't seem fazed.

Superordinate?? : You want to know OUR goal? hehehahaha.... Nagato, what do you think of your fate, is it beautiful?

Nagato : My fate... is none of your business, Damn it!

Nagato screamed in pain from being electrocuted by the Superordinate tentacle that was gripping her.

Superordinate?? : hmph, stubborn as always, alright... Do you think, the country you've served, the United States, loves you?

Nagato was silent while enduring the pain, she thought, does the United States see it like their own ship, or just as simple as a victory trophy?

Superordinate : Think Nagato, Think! Isn't that just your delusion?! You just think everyone loves you! They, USA, never loved you as a ship! They didn't make you the target of a nuclear strike just because the Emperor begged them! So, Nagato of the Empire of Japan, do you still love the Country that has enslaved and lied to you!?

Nagato couldn't say much, everything the Superordinate said was the truth, all her memories, they were just false memories, Nagato was never loved by the US at all, the US only saw Nagato as an asset, nothing but other assets.

Nagato slowly burst into tears as the facts hit her like a train. Nagato was never loved, neither in the Empire nor in the U.S. Nobody wanted her in the first place, she thought by serving America, she could at least be seen as a patriot or whatever, but that was just a dream.

She. Was. Never. Loved.

Nagato closed her eyes, and the Superordinate glowed with joy.

Superordinate?? : Right! Right there! Such despair... Such emotion... Oh I love it so much! Hehehehahahaha

Nagato widened her eyes and vomited blood again when suddenly a sharp tentacle pierced her chest and brought her Wisdom Cube out with fresh blood from the Cube.

Nagato : aaagghh... it hurts... it hurts... Take this pain away... please..

Nagato was seen crying from the pain she was feeling right now which made the Superordinate laugh even more happily.

Superordinate : with pleasure.

Nagato closed her eyes.

'I'm sorry everyone... it seems this is my end, a traitor, a delusional, a loner, an Auntie.... Sorry Prise, it seems we can't fulfill our dream of living together.... Sayonara... Minna...'
