Chapter 11: Victory and Scars
(Yorktown POV)
The battle was intense, but it was clear who would be the winner. Taihou's command was the most effective I had ever seen, she was a general on the battlefield and to see her in action was both terrifying and breathtaking.
The Sakura Empire’s forces were routed, their once-confident assault reduced to a desperate retreat. We had turned their trap against them, and in doing so, had captured their Zero fighters and shattered their plans.
The fleet was returning home, many having taken hits but all would be repaired, and I looked at Taihou, she stood on the deck looking out into the sea as if she was looking for something.
“You were brilliant, Taihou,” I said softly, approaching her.
Taihou turned to me, her purple eyes reflecting the setting sun with an array of colours. “We accomplished our mission, all thanks to you and the Eagle Union”
The battle had left its mark. We had lost some brave souls but we had also made it clear that we will not be pushed around. I knew then, that the transformation of my beloved Antonio was something the world needed. A powerful leader, a strong war general, and a beautiful woman.
