"Here's the story...

We've met before, Fail, in another situation. You were given birth, and your... Mom died after it. Amy, is a doctor that gave surgery to your biological Mom. She tried her best untill the end. You actually have a twin sister. But kept away, for her's and your own sake."

"Cut the crap already! It's not mine or my sister's sake, it's the mission's sake!"

"I'm sorry Fail, but that is the only thing we can do."

"Yea, yea. So, how's my sister?"

"She was taken care by Amy, but then they dissapear. So did you. Our corporation searched for both of you. But Amy seemed to got friends inside our corporation, that gave freedom to both of you, Fail and-..."

"Sara. Yea, I know her name. Now, if I'm already free from your and your friends corp, how can I still teleport to another dimension?"

"I'm not the lab guy I guess, so I got no explanation for that."

"Something else you're hiding from me?"

"No Fail, I was never even hiding anything from you. It's just that it needs time for me to set words for explaining to you, but you already gotten further from my expetations."

"Ok..." I opened the door and left the room. Outside, there were already Kaga and Zuikaku.

"We've heard you two talking back there." Zuikaku said.

"So what? It's not like I can do anything to it."

I want to leave them there, but it seemed Kaga is on tension to know about me. They've dragged me to Mamiya's Cafe.

"I hope you don't mind for us to ask quetions." Kaga said. "Well, I do mind, but the thing is, that it's just not you or Zui who are interested. Nagato, Mutsu, do you seriously need to hide there."

At the door, there were Nagato and Mutsu.

"Looks like you have further instinct Fail." Mutsu said while sitting on the chair by my side, and holding both of my shoulders. Nagato was sitting in front of Mutsu, on Kaga's side

Mutsu said, "it's ok if you have problem, just tell us, at least we're one of the grown ups too."

"Yea, thanks. But, my problem has been solved. I don't have to seek about my presence in this dimension..."

Suddenly, a speaker at the cafe called my name, told me to go to the Briefing Room. "Well, I guess it's time for me to go..."

"Wha-?!" They were all surprised.

"What do you mean?" Zuikaku asked.

"...I'm... going, what else?" I was really dumb that moment.

"Just because you already know your situation, you can do anything you want, huh?" Kaga was like, very dissapointed.

"If that's your will, we won't stop you. But please remember our memories." Nagato said, while standing and leaving, followed by the others. Mutsu just blinked at me.

"Live good without us. And... don't comeback." Zuikaku end it with a dialogue that strikes the heart.

"Wha, what do you mean? I'm just... what?" I was confused by their act. "Mamiya, do you get them?"

"Well..." Mamiya put the dish, "... maybe, they thought you were leaving us for good, and do something you want, freely... I guess."

"Oh... I think I'm not the only one that needs explanation. Haha..."

"Well, you can't blame them. Maybe they already think you're a good person, and they like you too."

"'Too?' Who else that liked me?"

"Ah-! You know... Akatsuki Class?"

"Ah... do they? Well, I think I'll explain later to those 'grown ups.' See ya!"

I left the cafe, and headed for the Briefing Room, Yubari was already waiting for me. She was drawing some sort of equipment, while laughing really creepy.

"Yubari, What you up too?"

"I'm upgrading Fubuki's torpedo tubes. You want to upgrade your's?"

"Nah.. But maybe I want to craft a new one."

"That machine guns of your's are already cool. And your gun is the most advanced around. How do you want it more?"

"It's not the guns. It's the tubes. And-.."

"Torpedoes?!" She sounded really happy. "Sorry, but it's not torps."

"Then what?"

"It's missiles."

"Eh?"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Nagato stepped in followed by the 'grown-ups' as well.

"Wha- Fail? I, We thought-.. What are you doing here?" Zui said with a quite surprised face, followed by the others.

"Just because you know your situation, you can do anything you want, huh?" I tap on Kaga's shoulder. She then blow full red.

"Fail, why are you still here?" Zui asked while closing by. Bad timing for her.

"Live good without us. And... don't come back." I said that while staring at her with clisé eyes. She then also, burn in red.

"What's the meaning of this? Mutsu, give me the file for today's night patrol..." Nagato said. Mutsu gave the file, and how surprised Nagato was.

"Fail, please be professional, and I'll give you the mission's briefing." Nagato closed her face.

"If that's your will we won't stop you. But please remember our memories." I said, detonating Nagato's face.

Mutsu joined me bursted to laugh. I guess Mutsu and Admiral already set this things up. But well, back to mission.

"Ahem, Fail, today you are going to be partnered with Yubari, Fubuki, and Inazuma. Fubuki will take lead. Inazuma will give AA backup just incase. You will scout 4 km further from the squad. Yubari stay behind, and focus on patroling. That's all. Mission start in 45 minutes, but our Flag Ship seems to be late."

DAN... the door opened by a Blizzard. Fubuki came with exhausted expression.

"Miss Nagato, there is.. there is.. an in-.. hufh... intruder... hufh..."

"What? No wonder you're late. Where is the intruder now?"

"Admiral's Office, with Kongou and her sisters too."

Nagato ran outside headed for Admiral's Office. She ordered us to continue with the patrol.

2100 hours...

"Fubuki, who was that intruder?" I asked through radio.

"She is a cute girl with shy attitude, but a fast runner. Oh! She happen to ware the same out fit as your's."

"Eeeh? E?! Same outfit you mean, this blue navy uniform? How could it... oh.. shit!"

"What is it Fail? Is it an enemy?"

"No, I'm just, frustrated. Sorry."

"It's fine. Fail, is your radar catching something?"

"Nothing beside-... No wait, we have an aircraft-.. no, it's a RAID!"

Suddenly, shells were shot to Yubari and Inazuma. Enemy realize they were the main support in this patrol. We already called for distress, but I thought we won't last 10 minutes.

I detected more of the aircraft, also a fleet, composed by 1 Battleship, 4 Destroyers, 2 Cruisers, and a Carrier.

It'd be hard for us that moment to start fleeing in such awkward situation with the abbies.

"Inazuma, set us a smoke screen. Yubari, fire at the incoming Cruisers. Fail, you're with me!" Fubuki entered the Leader Mode.

"Aye!" I swifted toward Fubuki, where she hid herself inside smoke screen from Inazuma. Fubuki then told me too guide her, while I'm hid. I said no, but she said it's ok. She was just abour to deploy torps.

"3 Destroyers are close, they're heading here. Deploy one by one, with circular angle of fifty degree, starting from aiming your left."

"Ok. Here it goes!" Torps were deployed. Three explosions then came. We saw fire, as the smoke screen vanished.

"We did it Fail! Now, to the-..."

"Watch out!" I pushed Fubuki as 4 shells almost sunk her. But for the return, I caught 2 of them. They hit the armament, but I thought it also penetrated my body, for I threw blood from my mouth.

"Fail!"

That was the moment, I realize my time was already close...
