Several Kansens could be seen under several discussion.

" What , an entire Battlegroup was obliterated , How...it's... impossible " Tosa , All-mighty Supreme General of Sakura Empire , spoke in disbelief.

" The reports from strike group was accurate , our entire strike group was decapitated . Hiryuu managed to get some of her sisters to safety , but been heavily mortified after that " Kaga said in somewhat sad tone .

" Who were they...Whom did they encountered " Spoke Kii , Protetorate of Sanctuary , curiosly.

" Whatever they were , they didn't gave our strike force a chance " Kaga said in a serious tone.

" Were they Sirens..." Tosa asked , disbelief in her voice.

" We don't know... not for certain.." Kaga replied to her.

" We must retaliate at them at once "

" Destroy them..."

" Show them our strength."

" Enough..." The entire hall was silence by one of big Seven Battleship , Nagato , Empress of Sakura Empire. " Order in the Hall..."

She stood up , with a fierce determination on her face

" We will bring forth those who were responsible for our sister's fate .Only then my sisters and comrades , true justice will be brought upon them."

" You are right Lady Nagato..."

" Glory to Sakura Empire "

"Long live Empress Nagato..."

The entire hall erupted into cheers.The Sakura Empire have started gearing for war.

" Commander ... It's an emergency..." Cleveland rushed into Commander's office , which startled him ." Viraat has left the base ..."

" What's wrong with that girl...First Enterprise and now her...Dammit." Commander grabbed his hair in frustation.

" Send a taskforce to capture her...Call Belfast.." Commander ordered his secretary Sheffield who nodded at him " Where is she heading..."

" Her path indicates...Midway..."

" Isn't there Hornet and her taskforce are stationed there against Sakura Empire "

Sheffield nodded at her.

" Yes Master..." Belfast arrived at his office.

" Belfast.and Sheffield...capture that errant carrier and bring her back to port immediately "

" Yes ...Master..As a honourable maid , I shall follow your order with extreme prejudice.."

" Commander ..." Cleveland asked him " Let me go with them ..."

" This isn't a fun fair , Cleveland...you know how dangerous is she. You saw what she did to battle hardened Enterprise..."

" I know...but will all due respect sir...I have the best AA among all ships here. I can handle her planes ..while they can go for her.."

" Good thinking Cleve...ladies bring her to justice "

" Roger that..."

All of them headed towards her. The hunt has begun.

Somewhere in Midway

Exhausted...

That was the best description of Squadron leader Abhishek Khatri as he run away from sirens , spotlights searching for him.

They captured his plane.He was next.

He hid inside the hole , hidden by roots of a tree.

He could hear two girls chatting among themselves.

" Sister...he was here I swear..." The girl in long Auburn ponytail spoke.

" I am sure he hid here somewhere " The girl with white hair spoke.

" Dammit ,we must capture that pilot at once. Shokaku , go look for left towards waterfall and I look towards the mountains "

" Ohayo Neesan..."

Finally they went away from here.Time to get outta here.

Before he could move , his radio buzzed.

" This...Viraat...on route...location...stay alive..."

Finally a reply , but at wrong time.

He looked up to see them staring at him. They tricked him into loosing up his senses.One of the girls , with long hair , pulled him out with ease. She holded him against the wall , choking his neck.

" We managed to capture the rat finally , Sister. We could have all the answer we want " She laughed evilly.

" Zuikaku...You are chocking him..." Shokaku advise her little sister.

" You are no fun Neesan..." She dropped him on the floor.Abhishek managed to breathe sigh of releif.However before he could plan his escape from them , he was handcuffed by Shokaku.

" You are coming with us..." Shokaku smiled evilly..

Abhishek managed to speak a few words...

" What if i say no..."

" You have no options..." He was blindfolded and knocked out by Zuikaku . Taking him as prisoner , they went back to their rally point.Before that , his radio buzzed in life.Zuikaku accidentally turned it on .

" This is INS Viraat...hope you're alive...i am heading to your location...ASAP"

" Whoever you are...you're men is our prisoner and is bring shipped back to Empire for some... enlightenment. If you are smart , turn around and run away or tremble under our fear..."

" You ... if anything happens to him ...if you value your own lives , your own existence , then you should know , never to piss one off. "

" Who..."

" ME..."

Zuikaku crushed the radio under her foot and headed towards their destination.
