The Hatsuyuki in this story is the Hatsuyuki whom were placed under admiral Hayabusa's command.
You might want to read the first story on the "It's Our Naval Base" though nothing from the main story would have any effect for the story as of now since this happens pretty far before the main story happens
(sorry for the late disclaimer part ;-; I always forgot to add it)
"Well, you see, the thing is, the rift toward the enemy could only hold light fleet." The Fubuki class leader said as she leads a group of six destroyers. Behind her was the rest of the Fubuki Class from admiral Hayabusa's destroyer squadron.
"Eeehhh…" Hatsuyuki whine, "Wait, that means… we got no fire cover from battleship!?" she continues.
"Well you should've known from the amount of destroyer crumpled in this mission."Murakumo keeps her cool as she puts her skeptical face
"This is worse than I'd thought…" Suddenly Hatsuyuki launches herself right in front of the other as she blaze up her guns. Bwosh, two of her shots went right on the left and right of a cruiser, she then focus onto her weaponry with a glaring eyes of death... Bam! the third shot critically hit the cruiser. The other two cruisers whom were left in awe finally decided to return fire. But Hatsuyuki's movement was too fast for them, none of their shot even scratches her. Meanwhile, the other destroyers of Hayabusa's fleet tried to follow Hatsuyuki's lead.
Fubuki starts with a shot followed closely by Shiratsuyu and Miyuki.
"I don't know what happened to Hatsuyuki, but this seems great!" Miyuki said on her energetic tone.
Fubuki nods in agreement to the statement, "but let's not push our limits too hard now ok?"
Shirayuki hums an agreement, "Un. Though, Hatsuyuki shall also be very careful now, she's heading right toward the flagship on her own..."
"Hmph, that mindless one." Murakumo says as she zigzagged her course to avoid some of the fire the enemy destoryers had spew.
"I'll take care of her, the other shall cover me and Hatsuyuki." Fubuki takes the lead once again and starts to zigzags with the other before the formation splits.
"Roger." says the other almost at the same time but with assorted kind of speech.
Miyuki starts with another shot directed at the damaged Destroyer which splits up the poor things in two by a majestic dark greenish colored blast. Upon seeing that, the other enemy destroyer take a leap back while keep returning fire toward Miyuki. Shirayuki whom had circled the two destroyers starts opening fire from their flank, damaging one of the destroyer and further lead them away from Fubuki.
Meanwhile, Fubuki keeps getting closer to Hatsuyuki whom is under fire by two cruisers at once. Despite being in a pinch, Hatsuyuki keeps charging toward the flagship of the enemy's fleet while making sharp turns here and there to avoid their attacks.
"Hatsuyuiki fall back!" Fubuki shouted.
"No... we're not going to make it even with this." Hatsuyuki said a sentence which doesn't seems to be a reply to Fubuki's order
"What do you… Hatsuyuki!?" before Fubuki could finishes her word, Hatsuyuki had already blast through the second cruiser's barrage and enters their torpedo range. Easily, she dodges all of the torpedoes and head straight toward the flagship.
"Why… WHY CAN'T IT WAIT!" Hatsuyuki's shout was muffled by the sound of the almost point blank torpedo exchange between her and the enemy's flagship cruiser… BWASH! The sea's water was poured onto the sky as the five other destroyer could only hoped to see the result they wanted… but what appear next is just smoke…
"H-Hatsuyuki!" Fubuki dashed toward the site as she launches several torpedoes to drive away the remaining cruiser, Murakumo and Isonami decided to further shoo the cruiser away.
"Eheh.." Hatsuyuki spit out a laughter to which a compass girl, with huge yellow chick in front of her, pouts, "thanks." she exclaims as she raised her right thumb before the fairy sighed, shook her head and vanishes back toward the flagship, Fubuki.
Realizing that a compass girl had just returned from where Hatsuyuki was, Fubuki traded her worried face with a sad one. She ran faster toward the place where Fubuki was and there she is, right besides her was the enemy's Cruiser whom is sinking. Seeing the scene, Fubuki fly toward her. Fubuki cried for a second on Hatsuyuki's shoulder before she puts her serious face with a slanted eyes and a trembling mouth.
"D-Don't do that again!" she hits Hatsuyuki's head softly, "Ok?"
"Noo, wanna go home… going to shut myself at room." The heavily damaged Hatsuyuki says.
And so, as was probably expected, the fleet returns home the next day. Hayabusa prepared for a debriefing of what happened during the mission.
"So, basically Hatsuyuki here got herself the most damage to the enemy though her recklessness brought her into this?" Hayabusa reaffirm.
"Yes commander… but I guess it's not entirely Hatsuyuki's fault the rift itself was opened to a wrong…" Fubuki tried to cover for her comrade, but..
"I'll do better tomorrow… so, could you please let this one slide and let me rest?" Hatsuyuki said almost at a monotone voice.
"H-Hatsuyuki…" Fubuki whispered, to whom who doesn't really listen to it.
"Very well, it's my fault to give the order of a three days mission on Friday I guess, as the commander I should have picked a better time for my underlings too yes? After all, you were sent to a wrong rift node, so you're going back like it or not. Anyway, I believe I can postpone the mission as the threat should have been reduced thanks to our mission today. But in an event of a greater scale threat, I hope you can take that aside ok."
"Yes." Hatsuyuki says as she quickly leaves the office.
"Hatsuyuki!" Fubuki tried to stop her, but Hayabusa held the destroyer's shoulder and shook his head.
"Leave her be, let's just prepare the report to HQ for now."
"Ah, but…" Fubuki would like to rebut the word, but seeing her commander's eyes she could just sighed and smiled, "Yes sir." She added and start making the report.
Later, early Saturday morning at the reserved repair dock…
"Hehe… ehehehe…" Hatsuyuki hold her laughter before, "Ahahaha... pffftttt…" a burst of laughter came out of her mouth which she muffled the rest. In front of the destroyer was PC set which she bought to the repair pool. "World Wide PVP Event" was clearly written on the screen and a result showing [The First Snowknight] as the event's MVP can be clearly seen.
"Ok girls it's this place again. Listen closely this time." Fubuki lead as she brief her comrades once again, "A rift toward the area of Kis Island have been created, we shall not loss this opportunity!
"Yes Ma'am!" said the rest of the fleet.
"Enemy sighted!"Shiratsuyu's exclaim was followed by the fleet's disperse and several splashes from the cruiser's guns.
"Everyone, engage!"
…
"So uh…" Hayabusa seems to be left speechless as he sees his fleet return.
"At least we bring some coins back right?" Miyuki said as she raises her right thumbs up while her left hand is holding a kind of treasure map and a chest.
