In Fubuki's vision, everything is dark and blurry. Her body felt like it was stinging endlessly, causing her to shiver as well as struggling to sit up. She can hear a high pitched noise along with a bunch of muffled voices, she finds it harder for them to understand.

Her vision becomes clearer when she witnesses a couple of one-eyed girls who're pulling her up from slowly sinking into a flooded boat.

"Hup!" Tenryuu kai ni grunts.

"There! You okay, Fubuki?" Kiso kai ni asked.

"Not really… What happened?" Fubuki had witnessed the damages of Amano, then remembered what happened earlier since the dive bombing attack. "Wait! It really is an ambush!"

"We know. See for yourself." Tenryuu points out a horde of abyssals, as Fubuki had witnessed some of her friends being badly hurt, including herself.

Then Fubuki grunts.

"Fubuki!" Tenryuu then helps Fubuki from falling.

"I'm okay… I can still fight…" Fubuki grunts as she turns around to a closed door and…

She collapsed.

"Not without your friends, not even your sister." Shinji called as he's been aided by Akashi.

Fubuki halted as she saw Murakumo kai ni looking like she's at a very fatal state while being wrapped up by Mutsu.

"Murakumo-chan… Damn it! I don't want to lose all of you! I'm not weak… I never will be! SO LET ME FIGHT, DAMN IT!" Fubuki snapped as she doesn't want to see herself as what she used to be, a weak and cowardly one who's always the foolish one that admires a certain senpai.

"I know how you feel, Fubuki. We do too." Shinji sighed.

"And sometimes, you just gotta let someone else take action. You reminded me of Pola when she's sober, a battle junkie that wanted to win, and you don't wanna be the monster Pola was." Roma kai said as she kneels in front of Fubuki and holds her head up.

"No. It's because of the way I fought the abyssals alone, everyone around me, apart from Pola, distanced themselves from me, even one of my comrades wanted to rival me to be stronger. I caused a lot of damage to Sakamoto-san's fleet." Fubuki is holding back, but her emotions are getting to her as tears are running and Fubuki is becoming more expressive like she's blubbering.

"Don't worry, Fubuki-chan, you may have lost everything, but at least I was always there for you. Like Roma said, you don't wanna be the monster I was." Pola then hugs Fubuki, comforting her from her past after admitting her behaviour towards others and the abyssals.

"And you're not the only one who lost your friends, even Shigure-san is still fighting against the abyssal fleet, Mutsuki-san has thanked you for the things you did for her, nanodesu." Inazuma arrived by grabbing one of Fubuki's hands while telling her what she did.

"Poi! You even trained us, starting with the poi dog such as the Nightmare of Solomon, Yuudachi-chan, poi!" Yuudachi points at herself while winking and sticking out her tongue to her best friend and senior.

"I don't know what you girls are talking about, but we're always here for you, Bucky!" Iowa grabbed the other hand by cheering Fubuki up.

More tears are streaming as Fubuki has forgotten that she has emotions covered up as they're finally coming out.

"It's alright Onee-chan, you don't have to push yourself. Let it out." Murakumo whispered.

"Y- You girls… Why? WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO NICE TO MEEEEEEE!? UWAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Wailing, Fubuki had finally released her mixed feelings of joy, sadness and guilt.

She realised that she took away her humanity for something petty yet justifiable, forgetting what made her more noticeable and had zero knowledge of love and romance.

"Fubuki-chan… It's okay, we're always here…" Mutsu cooed while embracing Fubuki to her chest and stroking her head.

"T- Thang you, Mudsu!" Fubuki finally appreciated her friends while still sobbing.

Afterwards…

Thud.

"Huh? Akagi-senpai!" Zuikaku exclaimed as she and Shoukaku picked up Akagi.

"What happened to her!?" Bismarck asked.

"Don't worry about me… Teitoku wanted me to stay behind. She was trying to keep us safe, when her top priority is herself." Akagi pants as she's holding her right shoulder which has a large bullet hole which nearly reveals her shoulder bone.

"That means… Don't worry, senpai, we'll take it from here! You trained us carriers to keep clear of our targets." Shoukaku smiled as she held both of Akagi's hands and nodded with Zuikaku.

"Well, I know you wanted to avenge Kaga-senpai, but it's not like I wanted to avenge Kaga-senpai too or anything!" Zuikaku finally agreed with Shoukaku as she and Akagi had the same goal.

Finally, Fubuki held Akagi's hand and left a single onigiri by putting it on Akagi's palm.

"I admired you and you've been looking up to me ever since I motivated and trained you guys. Right now, I'll be the one to protect you, Akagi-senpai." Said Fubuki after wiping her own face.

"Fubuki-chan… Thank you… Win this battle for me." Akagi chuckles as she's getting lifted by Musashi and then Yuubari and Akashi drag her to her new room.

"Get some rest, okay?" Said Musashi.

"Will do."

Finally, Akagi left as she's not joining the battle against Henderson field.

Afterwards, what's left of the main team is 5 shipgirls along with 6 support team 1, as they're seeing more abyssals attempting to break inside Amano.

"The damage has been sustained up to 91%. Now's the time to fight or else we'll all die in this ship like it's Titanic all over again!" Akashi exclaimed while checking on her tablet as Amano's damage was a lot higher than before.

"Then get ready. You're all damaged, but be careful." Shinji got his hand on a door handle as he warned the shipgirls.

"Hibiki-chan." Inazuma's eyes are flashing red to gold as she holds out her anchor with a glare.

"Khorosho. Let's end this." Verniy's eyes are flashing silver as she hold out her dagger and her anchor with a glare.

"Then it's settled. Nagato-san, Mutsu, let's do this!" Musashi kai ni grinned while punching her own palm and summoning her rigging with her [Prototype 51cm twin gun mount] and [10cm twin high-angle gun mount kai additional machine guns] cannons.

"Hmph, with pleasure." Nagato too released her rigging and equipped her [41cm twin gun mount kai ni] cannons along with her [41cm triple gun mount kai ni] and [16inch mk.VIII twin gun mount kai] cannons with a smirk.

"Ara-ara, things are getting interesting." Mutsu too equipped herself with her [41cm twin gun mount kai ni] cannons along with her [41cm triple gun mount kai ni] cannon, her [16inch mk.VIII twin gun mount kai] and her [10cm twin high-angle gun mount (carriage)] cannons with a smug smile.

"Alright… Second support teams are Shimakaze, Yuudachi, Kawakaze, Kashima, Mutsu and Bismarck. I want you girls to wait for the signal when the main and first support team are spreading out, then kill this abyssal altogether."

"Ufufu… Then we'll make sure your orders are absolute, isn't that right?" Kashima giggled.

"Poi!" Yuudachi agreed.

"Hmph, whatever. As long as we get this over and done with, the better." Said Shimakaze while summoning 3 of her Rensouhou-chan that are equipped with [12.7cm twin gun mount model D kai 3] cannons, by raising her arm.

Finally, the door was opened by Yuubari as she pulled up her thumb, meaning the battle has begun.

Fuel: 62030 - 60310

Ammo: 62030 - 59860

"NOW!" Inazuma yelled as she and Verniy took a head start by chucking their anchors to the blue sky.

Successfully it battered a Ru-class and a Wo-class by their faces as their ambush has backfired.

"Huh!?" A delinquent looking Ri-class turned as she witnessed both her comrades getting their faces crushed by a single item from a couple of destroyers.

"We've been backfired! Licorice-sama! What should we do!?" A panicked Ri-class asked through the speaker.

[Hm? Backfired you say? You better look behind you.]

"Eh? Wh- !?"

Finally a couple of blades have gone through a couple of Ri-classes as both Kiso and Tenryuu then release and swipes horizontally to their necks as blood squirts to both cruisers' faces.

"Heh. I guess we underestimated you guys." Tenryuu pants.

"Get her." Kiso called.

Then…

Rocketing away from Amano are all the shipgirls in groups like the main, the first and second support and backup team. As the backup team is ready to counter 4 of Licorice's [Abyssal cat fighter kai] planes.

"Onee-chan!" Zuikaku called.

"On it!" Shoukaku then held 3 of her arrows which had the fairies riding on them.

Then she let's go as the arrows materialise into a [Tenzan model 12 (Murata squadron)] torpedo plane and 2 [Suisei model 12A] fighter planes as a couple of fighter planes are countering 4 abyssal fighter planes.

Atlanta summons her rigging as she equips her [12.7cm twin high-angle gun mount kai 2] and her [5inch Twin Dual-purpose Gun Mount (Concentrated Deployment)] cannons as she sighed.

"I can't believe I'm working with the Japanese… Such a pain."

"Well, you better get used to it, I'm having a great time!" Said Iowa as she patted Atlanta's shoulder. "I get that we're attacking our own country, but there's a reason. So come on, we can win this together! It's like this: earn yourself a happy ending story featuring us shipgirls from around the world."

"Tch. Whatever. Just don't get in my way." Atlanta clicked her tongue as she's targeting the enemy aviation after reluctantly assisting the Japanese fleet, considering she had no choice.

"Alright, guys! Let me teach you how Deutschland Wissenschaft works!" Prinz equipped her [2cm flakvierling 38] anti-air cannon while pointing at Licorice who was waiting for them to come and get her.

"Indeed, but you forgot about us Italiani. It's kill or be killed by the abyssal fleet." Roma called out as her rigging was equipped with [OTO 152mm triple rapid fire gun mount] and [90mm single high-angle gun mount] cannons as they're pointing at the abyssal aviation creatures.

"FEUER!" Prinz yelled as all the cannons fired after the planes countered the abyssal aviation.

Then more boom and bangs as more abyssal aviation are being blown up and crash onto each other towards the sea.

After the planes, more common abyssals charged towards the shipgirls as Inazuma, Fubuki, Nagato, Musashi, Verniy, Murakumo, Kongou, Fumetsu, Pola and Iowa raised their cannons whilst Zuikaku hold out her bow.

"Zuikaku-san, send out your planes!" Inazuma ordered.

"Okay! Take this!" Zuikaku shoots out 3 of her arrows as the fairies are now piloting on [Tenzan model 12 (Murata squadron)] torpedo planes, leading Inazuma and the shipgirls to release all their torpedoes.

With how many torpedoes fired at the enemy fleet, the first victim to hit it was a Chi-class torpedo cruiser.

BOOM!

"God damn it! I'LL REMEMBER THIS!"

A Chi-class sunked.

"Chi!" A Ta-class yelled.

"So, they decided to come out and play dirty!" A Ru-class growled…

Until she and her comrades witnessed how many torpedoes were approaching them.

"Well… At least it was fun while it lasted."

"Indeed." A Wo-class agreed.

Finally, every abyssals saluted together as their final moment of being mass torpedoed by a bunch of shipgirls.

"Oh yeah, good job on sacrificing yourselves. Now I can get the promotion all to myself." Licorice cheered while waving goodbye to her sacrificial subjects which had every abyssals growling at her.

"WHAT!? You motherfu-"

Then another explosion occurred as it stopped a Wo-class from cursing at her superior.

They've all sunken into the ocean.

"The enemy's cleared out." Called Murakumo as she and her friends finally got Licorice out in the open.

[Good. Main team and first support team, swap with the second support team. Shimakaze, you and your group are on a land mission. Get to the Airfield Princess and capture her.] Shinji ordered his Admiral's shipgirls.

"Roger. We'll make sure to get her quickly and easily." A smug was drawn on Shimakaze's face as she's ready to beat an abyssal.

Finally, it's time for Shimakaze and her group (Yuudachi, Kawakaze, Kashima, Mutsu and Roma) to shine as they leap onto land in Guadalcanal at Solomon Islands.

After the group landed, Shimakaze took a head start by rocketing straight towards a large monster that is Henderson field along with Licorice, while leaving her group who're also dashing, but not as fast as Shimakaze.

"Oi! Shimakaze!" Yuudachi shouted.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing!?" Kawakaze too shouted.

But Shimakaze ignored it.

"Ready, Rensouhou-chan!? HEY, AIRFIELD! Let's see who's the slowest!" Yelled Shimakaze while leaping along with her rigging trio as the four are starting their attack on a princess. "And it's y- guh!?"

A finger straight up jabs at Shimakaze's chest as Licorice sinks her claw into her sailor top as well as her skin.

"And it's you."

Shimakaze gasped in fright as Licorice knew where Shimakaze was punctured, twice.

"Hm? Oh! I get it! It's that moment you had been shot by both Ru-chan and Ancho-chan! Looks like the third time's the charm. Don't you think so, Shimakaze-chan?" Licorice jeered as her smile widened as well as pulling out another finger on her enemy's torso.

"Shimakaze-san!" A voice is coming from Yuudachi as she and her group are rushing towards Henderson field.

"Boom."

Unfortunately…

BANG! A bullet from Licorice's finger had punctured a massive one as it spattered out Shimakaze's blood, causing a destroyer to be pushed backwards and crash right in front of her group.

"AA-... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…" A very painful scream came out of Shimakaze until she was struggling to breathe due to having her organs scraped by a single bullet.

"SHIMAKAZE!" Kawakaze yelled as she grabbed Shimakaze by the neck, only to witness what happened to her.

"Why you…" Growled Yuudachi as she equips both her [12.7cm twin gun mount model B kai 4 (wartime modification) anti-aircraft fire director] and [12.7cm twin gun mount model C kai 2] cannons while glaring her blood red eyes at Licorice.

As the Rensouhou-chan trio fires at the rigging and the body non-stop, Licorice swings her leg at one of them which led the duo to run back to their wielder.

"What's wrong? You girls are scared? Relax, finger banging is harmless fun!" Laughed the Airfield Princess as she waved both her hands as well as approaching the enemy.

"Stay back!" Kashima yelled while equipping a [14cm twin gun mount kai] cannon, desperately protecting her friends.

"Or what?"

"Or I'll… I'll… I-"

Dropping to her knees in fear, Kashima knew she was already screwed to begin with, leading her to drop her cannon and crawl backwards.

"Hm. I guess you're untrained. The irony is that a training cruiser trains her teammates, yet she never trained herself." Licorice jeered as she witnessed her enemy looking frightened, then pointing her finger at Kashima. "You ever wondered what pain actually feels like?"

"No… Please…" Pleading as Kashima is already in a death zone.

"Sink, or better yet, die!"

Afterwards, a bullet made a banging noise…

Luckily, it didn't hit Kashima.

But it caught Roma's arm as it revealed that her upper arm to her shoulder and lower arm is covered in the things Akatsuki was covered in earlier:

The Abyssal illness, those black metallic crystals that are stuck to their human skin, which also turns them pale.

"I guess you saw it, didn't you, Kashima?" Roma asked while dropping her left arm.

"Roma-san…"

"Oh look! The drug actually worked on a kanmusu after all! Isn't it great!?"

"Can it, puttana! I was drugged for God knows how long, and I will find a way to cure myself from the likes of you cazzo!" Roma snapped while raising her [381mm/50 triple gun mount kai] cannon as her eyes were flashing gold with a glare. "Vai all'inferno!"

As Roma's cannons fired instantly, Licorice dodged, causing said Italian to grab Licorice by the neck and choke her as hard as she could.

"Ufufu… Un italiana, così spaventoso. Lavello." Licorice called out with a grin, pointing her finger at Roma's forehead.

Gasping as Licorice's Italian had intimidated Roma, as she then dodges from a finger bullet and clenching the princess' wrist from targeting her and her allies.

Then a cannon arrived past Roma as it pointed at Licorice.

"Give it up, Airfield, you're coming with us once we're done dealing with your leader." Mutsu speaks out bitterly as she grabs the other arm.

"Ufufufufufu… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Huh!? What's so funny!?" Kawakaze shouted while equipping her [12.7cm twin gun mount model C kai 2] cannon as she aimed for the head of her enemy.

After Kawakaze's question, a monster roared as Henderson field opened its secret door.

"You've all fallen right into my trap. Wo-class standard aircraft carriers, send out your pets and…"

Licorice then remained calm as her tone had turned very bitter as well as having her voice pitch as low as possible, meaning she will...

"Sink them all."

After her call, every single Wo-classes marched out of Henderson field as the one at the front is the one-eyed one, the very same Wo-class who not only killed Harusame, but nearly killed Mutsu.

"YOU! I recognise that one eye scar of yours, you murderer!" Yuudachi roared.

"Ara-ara. Still not satisfied that I'm still alive, Wo-class?" Mutsu asks as her cannons are pointing straight towards a single Wo-class along with her matching horde.

"Hmph. You don't get it, do you? What I was doing was following orders, especially towards that bitch of a princess, Licorice-sama." Said the main Wo-class as she along with the other Wo-classes sent out their [Abyssal hell dive bomber] aviation monsters.

"But that doesn't change the fact that you murdered Harusame-nee out of your own blood! You'll be joining this lead bitch into the abyss!" Growled Kawakaze as she along with Yuudachi points their cannons at Licorice and Wo-class.

"Wo-class team! Sink them all!" Called a Wo-class.

"Right!" Over a hundred Wo-classes replied as they're sending their carriers to dive bomb on the shipgirls and Amano.

Finally, Licorice instantly kicks Roma's face and finger bangs both Roma and Mutsu's riggings as the duo are no longer able to fire their turrets.

As both Yuudachi and Kawakaze fired their cannons repeatedly, they unfortunately failed to protect Shimakaze as well as defending Kashima and themselves.

Back at the sea…

Musashi gasped as she witnessed a horde of aviation monsters which flashed her back to what happened to Yamato in 'Operation Ten-go' by hundreds of aviation bombers and torpedo bombers.

As Musashi hears her sister's voice, she pants as she witnessed what happened in 1945 as a spirit.

Yamato's body was completely broken, crippled, bludgeoned as well as bleeding to death…

But in the end…

Musashi had witnessed a smile of her own big sister while sinking both historical and modern, meaning Yamato had suffered the same fate, but instead of the US carrier, it's the abyssal aviation creatures.

"It's okay, Musashi-chan." A voice called.

"Y- Yamato!" Gasped Musashi as she hugs her sister, Yamato. "Am I dead?'

"You already are, but not when you're reincarnated." Giggled Yamato as her physical body became visible in front of Musashi.

Then, they embraced each other as they missed each other.

"I guess this is it. Grandma and grandpa are waiting for me to come with them." Said Yamato.

"What do you mean?" Musashi asks as she sees who's behind Yamato.

[Hana-chan! Hm? Is that Kaiko-chan?] An old lady suddenly arrived as she was surprised to see Musashi (Kaiko).

"G- Grandma… GRANDMA!" Musashi yelled out as she then dived to her grandmother's torso and wailed. "Grandma! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

[It's okay, Kaiko-chan… No need to cry. I'm more proud of you for standing up to those monsters you two have been facing for centuries.] Yamato's grandmother picks up Musashi's snot nosed face as she wipes the tears off of her youngest granddaughter.

"The abyssal fleet. I heard they're getting smarter. Looks like you're fighting to outsmart them." Said Yamato.

Nodding as Musashi realised that fighting for her life is something she never planned on doing.

"But don't forget that I was always by your side along with Shoukaku and Zuikaku during our childhood. Are they okay?" Yamato asked.

"Yeah. They're doing great." Musashi answered.

"That's great to hear. Remember, Musashi-chan, I will always be in your heart, even if I'm not alive."

"Yamato… Please don't go… I-"

Then Yamato embraced Musashi to her chest.

"You made it this far… I want you to say my name when I'm gone."

"But, Yamato, I can't fight very well without you, even when I'm enthusiastic about fighting the abyssal fleet!"

"Then take this umbrella with you. It's a gift from your big sister." Yamato giggled while giving out her oil paper umbrella to her younger sister's hands. "If you're that scared, then keep hold of that umbrella, okay?"

Finally Musashi accepted the umbrella as she started to burst some tears.

"Don't cry. There's nothing I can do to come back. I guess this is it." Yamato's tears also come out while she puts her own forehead on Musashi's forehead.

Finally Yamato is walking with her grandmother as the light shines by fading the duo.

[Goodbye, Kaiko-chan. You've grown up so fast.] Said Yamato's grandmother as she waved towards Musashi with a smile.

"Thanks, grandma…"

"Goodbye, Kaiko-chan… Musashi-chan." Yamato salutes as she bids farewell to her little sister.

"Yeah... See ya, Hana- no… Yamato onee-chan." Musashi too salutes with a warm smile while dropping tears from her eyes.

Finally, everything flashed to white as everything had disappeared, leading Musashi to return back to battle.

In the end, Musashi is taking the throne for her big sister Yamato as the strongest battleship of Japan.

Back to the sea, Musashi's red eyes are opening as she's fully prepared for the worst case scenario to face against.

"You've given me hope, Yamato onee-chan… This umbrella is a memento, huh. Then if that's the case, I'll protect you, no matter what!" Shouted as Musashi is glaring her red eyes towards a horde of abyssal aviation bombers.

Afterwards…

An explosion occurred as Musashi is covered by a huge smog which has a silhouette blocking her from dive bombs.

"Huh?"

"You… Idiot. Why didn't you listen to me earlier… I said run…"

"Nagato!" Musashi exclaimed as she caught Nagato from falling in front of her.

"But it's okay… We still have each other…" Nagato grunts while slowly pushing herself up on Musashi's shoulders.

"Yeah." Then Musashi gasped. "What about the others!?"

"Damn it… They're heading straight to Amano!"

"Let's hurry!"

"But Mutsu and the second support squad…"

"Worry about them later. Right now, we're dealing with their highest ranked Princess." Said Musashi as she drags Nagato while the duo are boosting towards a dive bombing horde.

"Why are they doing this?" Asked Nagato.

"That's one thing we needed to know." Musashi sighed as she and her fellow battleship were still boosting together.

Unfortunately, a bunch of dive bombs are dropping down on a bunch of shipgirls who're heavily damaged as well as Amano herself, and then…

BOOM!

The destruction of Amano and the shipgirls is caused by Licorice and Wo-classes as they finally win this battle.

"Sakamoto-san! Teitoku! Everyone!" Musashi yelled out while desperately boosting towards a bunch of flames with a huge smoke coming out.

"No… But how?" Nagato gasped as she went to her knees, witnessing their loss.

[Ninety… Cent… Criti-... Age…] A voice sounded weak as it was making a lot of static noises.

"Akashi!?"

[Naga-... I-... Sorry…] Akashi apologised after their defeat.

After the call, a shell had blown Nagato from behind as it came from a Ha-class destroyer.

Then Nagato drops into the sea into unconsciousness.

"How weak." Licorice speaks out as a battleship monster rigging is carrying her and approaching Amano.

What she encountered was Shinji's body as well as Tenryuu and Kiso who're not moving an inch, then a handgun which was targeting Licorice.

"Hello, Teitoku. Looks like I won."

"Yeah… But none of my crew are sinking…" Louis whispered while dying, realising that a single princess was playing unfair.

"Who says I'm sinking them?"

"Huh?"

"I would love to see you poisoned with this needle." Pulling out a drug, Licorice is waiting to see if Louis is resistant to the drug like an abyssal or was poisoned like an actual human being.

"Shit."

"Indeed. Drug them all and leave nobody untouched." Ordered the princess.

"Yes, ma'am!" Every abyssals replied as they pulled out their own set of needles and then jab those who're sortieing, even Akashi and Yuubari are not safe.

Afterwards, Musashi was pinned down, struggling to free herself from a couple of Ru-classes as she too was getting jabbed by a Tsu-class light cruiser.

Then a gun clicked as Louis put it on her head.

"Huh?"

"If you think I'm getting my ass poisoned, THINK AGAIN!" Louis yelled while pulling the trigger.

Finally, a loud bang had stopped all the abyssals from getting towards the Admiral as she finally drop the gun and lay down on the wall, leading herself to death.

Afterwards…

"Did she just…" A Ta-class gasped.

"Yeah." A Ri-class knows what's going on.

"Whatever, I'm sure Lycoris will come and turn her into a 100% abyssal, meaning she will be ours." Said Licorice, booting Musashi from struggling and then letting Dyson's monster rigging carry her to the base, as she stopped in a few seconds. "Wo? Why are you carrying Zuikaku like that?"

As Licorice asked, a one-eyed Wo-class is holding Zuikaku by the shoulder, knowing who she was and why she's taking her.

"She's an important one to interrogate... And someone I have known for a long time. We'll be keeping her as a hostage." Wo-class answered.

"Whatevs, let's go home. I'm hungry after all that fight we had on land and sea." Sighed Licorice as she's relieved.

Finally, the abyssal fleet retreated, leaving all the shipgirls unconscious as well as Musashi witnessing her group being defeated.

Then, she hears Louis grunting as she's waking up, considering that she used an actual gun rather than the anti-abyssal gun.

"Damn, that hurts…"

"Teitoku! Are you okay?" Asked Musashi worryingly.

"No… But they're taking Zuikaku… Now's your chance to search for their base. Follow them." The Admiral ordered as she's in a lot of pain.

Finally, Musashi realised what Louis needed for her to do once her friends wake up around a destroyed ship that is slowly sinking.

Then she accepted.

"Sure. I'll be back." Said Musashi as she's following a horde from afar by boosting away from Louis.

Finally, Musashi is gone.

Louis is left all alone while grunting in pain.

Then a silhouette behind the sun showed up in front of Louis herself.

"I have found the independent navy. Can I take them all with me?" A silhouette called.

"Who… Are… You…"

Louis's vision is getting blurry as her eyelids feel heavy and then…

Everything went pitch black, causing her to pass out while hearing a muffled voice during her unconsciousness.

"Okay, I'll wait here and get them for you. Later."

Beep!
