"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Myoukou screamed down my ear, I really am going to go deaf tonight. Alfredo was also screaming, at least I assume so, I couldn't hear her over Myoukou's screaming, but the fact that she brought out her rigging again probably cemented that possibility. She tried firing her rigging again, but all that happened was a 'click' 'click' 'click' sound.

"AH! I'VE USED UP ALL MY AMMO!" she yelled in panic. Bristol had now bravely…hid behind me, then it was Myoukou's turn to summon her rigging, and as she was grappling onto me for dear life, this was going to be loud.

'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click'

Or not, seemed like she was so scared her rigging had jammed, which saved my ears at least, so instead she grabbed a large spanner that was on the floor and rushed towards the phantom screaming "FOR JUSTICE!" when her attack did connect, she ended up flying back then spasming loudly on the ground.

"EEK! MYOUKOU'S DEAD!" Bristol cried.

Hawaii meanwhile was looking unfazed, she didn't seem scared by this apparent 'apparition', and looking closely at it, there probably wasn't any need to cause a panic.

The 'ghost' wasn't moving, at least, it wasn't heading towards us, and it hadn't attacked us yet, plus, for some reason the figure seemed to look familiar.

Eventually, the 'ghost' wandered back the way it came without saying a word.

"Has it gone?" Alfredo asked, her question muffled by my tummy.

"Yeah…" I replied, hoping to sound monotonous.

"Is Myoukou going to live?" Bristol asked, finding the courage to leave me and check up on the heavy cruiser "Oww!"

"WHAT?" Alfredo squeaked.

"I just got a shock." Bristol replied.

Just a minute, yellow light? Shock? Small figure? I think I know what's been going on…

I pushed Alfredo aside and walked down the hallway towards where the 'ghost' had disappeared to.

"EH~ Indianapolis? Where are you going?" Quivered Alfredo.

"WAIT! I'm coming too!" Bristol yelled.

"WAIT! Don't leave me behind!" Myoukou cried, recovering from her attack. The three of them followed my lead quickly, Myoukou more slowly than the others as she recovered from her shock. As we wondered along Hawaii walked up to me.

"Do you know who it is?" She asked.

"I've got a suspicion as to what's been going on…" I replied.

We finally reached the maintenance room of the warehouse. From inside we could hear soft murmurs. Naturally Myoukou, Alfredo and Bristol were all huddled together and making little quivering cries. I however, boldly pushed the door open, and immediately looked down. "I thought I recognised that figure…" I murmured.

The three stooges peered from behind me, and saw Eldridge sleeping on the floor.

"Eldridge?"

"What's she doing here?"

"She's the one behind these 'mysterious ghost sightings'". I replied.

"Who? Eldridge?"

"She's not the type to pull pranks on anybody!"

"No", I replied, "But she is sleeping next to the generator over there." Considering the looks of confusion I explained, "Eldredge here is well known for occasionally discharging electric, and sleeping next to a generator that hasn't been used for 70 or so years and charging it up with the same amount of power to power a Kansen, possibly supercharged it and the excess power resulted in electrical copies of Eldridge roaming around the facility."

Everyone gave a huge sigh of relief after that. I knelt down and prodded Eldridge in the cheek, "Hey, you shouldn't be sleeping here." Only for the response was for me to get zapped.

"Hey, Eldridge" Bristol called out "You shouldn't be sleeping here" Her gentle voice brought Eldridge around. And she drearily rubbed her eyes in a cute sort of way.

"Hey! Look!" Alfredo called out, we all turned around to see her staring out of the window, revealing a large block of light outside the window far below. "The lights are back on!"

"I guess they must have fixed the power." Myoukou commented.

I gave a sigh, I wanted to get back to some sense of normalcy back at the base, and not having to creep around abandoned warehouses looking for ghosts all night, no matter how appealing staying here the night was to avoid Portland. "Well, let's head back, Bristol, you've got Eldridge?" Bristol gave a thumbs up, holding a tired Eldridge by the hand. "Alright, let's get out of here."

After a long trek we finally reached the base, which, after the prolonged darkness of the abandoned warehouse, looked extremely bright, luckily, we managed to locate Hornet, who was having a discussion with her sister, Enterprise, Ambrose and Spurn from the maintenance fleet and a girl I haven't seen before with long blonde twintails…and a huge bow. I'm not jealous…

"Oh Hey! You're back!" Hornet greeted. "You took longer than expected, I was just about to go and look for you!"

"We found the cause; Eldridge was sleeping next to a generator." I replied, the aforementioned destroyer breaking away from Bristol's grip and running up to Enterprise.

"Hug." She cutely demanded, Enterprise gladly obliging, lifting her up and giving her a hug.

"I'm surprised we didn't find her sooner, what with five of us searching the premises." Added Myoukou

"…Don't you mean four?" asked Ambrose.

"No, there's-" I turned around, but Hawaii wasn't in sight, I guess she found her own way back. "Oh, well Hawaii was with us too"

"Hawaii?" the new girl asked.

"Yes", Myoukou added, "Third ship of the Alaska class large cruisers, USS Hawaii".

"Sorry, but who are you?" I asked.

"Oh, right, I didn't introduce you, this is USS Guam, the second ship of the Alaska class large cruisers". Said Enterprise.

"Oh, so you must be Hawaii's siter then." I said. Guam seemed a little down.

"Well…I would have been, but she got scrapped before she got completed…"

So she must be a PR ship then.

"Who are you talking about?" Bristol asked.

"Hawaii san," Myoukou explained, "Tall, dark skin, wore a red bikini and long dress…?"

"I didn't see her."

"Y-you must have done; she was with us the entire time~!"

Well…I mean it was dark in there, and Bristol wasn't exactly in the best of condition to notice anything…Then Alfredo gave a short shriek and dropped her camera.

"What is it?" I asked, picking up the camera. On the screen was the photo she took when we first ran into each other, you could clearly see me, looking a little startled about the flash going off in my face, you could see Myoukou, who probably couldn't make that face again if she tried, and right where Hawaii was standing…was a long white blur.

…

But I mean, that can't be the case…right…? I mean she was…well come to think of it she never interacted with anyone other than me and Myoukou…But they must have seen her…right? She couldn't possibly…

And then I heard a familiar voice in my head "Let's play again sometime. Aloha no keia manawa~"

"Are you alright rookie?" Hornet asked, "You look ever so pale".

"Umm…" I stuttered, "Uhh…M-myoukou did you-" I turned to face Myoukou who was nowhere in sight, until I looked down and saw her flat on the floor in a dead faint.

Needless to say, Portland was extremely happy when I asked to sleep in her bed that night, although she was a little confused as to why I insisted on keeping the light on when I went to bed.

A/N: I've finally finished my Halloween themed case!...on St Patrick's day...well done me...
