User blog:Mystia Lore./Counterattack ! The Second Operation SN

The admiral was looking at his computer.

Myschin : What's a Shenanigan by the way ? Inazuma : I don't know-nanodesu...

3 days remains until the start of the Event.
Hyuuga : Admiral, I want some Zuiuns please ! Myschin : But Hyuuga, you need to be remodeled for that, and you don't have any experience yet... Hyuuga : That's a problem. I want some Zuiuns. Zuiuns are good. Zuiuns are life. Please remodel me as soon as possible ! Myschin : We will see later, I promise.

Hyuuga left the office and Ise came in a few second later.

Ise : Ah admiral, I met my sister a few second before. I guess she has talked about Zuiuns ? Myschin : Yeah but I can't train her now. Everyone is supposed to have holidays but nobody took it. Ise : Because we can't go on vacation and left you alone. Myschin : Oh...

During a collation with some Destroyers.

Akatsuki : Commander, your pancakes are so goods. Myschin : There is plenty left. Akatsuki : Yay ! Satsuki : Thank you ! Akebono : By the way, why we are here with you ? Myschin : I asked Akashi some things. Among them is the last key to open the last repair dock. Also, we will enlarge the base to welcome more shipgirls, 20 more actually. With the upcoming, there is high chances that we will met some news comrades... Satsuki : Is that so ? Myschin : With Hyuuga, you are 94 who lives in this base. The Event only allow participation if we have at least 5 free slots. And even if we are a new base, I think that we will met more than 1 new shipgirl. Akebono : Sound good. I have to say that you are not shitty for an newly-assigned admiral. Myschin : I take this as a compliment.

-

In the evening...

Myschin : Thank you for helping me Yamashiro. Yamashiro : It can free me from nee-sama's love for an instant so I take the opportunity. Myschin : So now, I can hope to see Shimakaze in the Recipe. Yamashiro : I'm not the best person who can help you... Myschin : Why ? Because some people call you 'unlucky ship' ? I trust you, that's all the matter for me. Yamashiro : Thank you for your kindness admiral... Myschin : Ah, look like the timer is 24 minutes... It gonna be a Kagerou-class again.

But after the flame-thrower fairy came, the Recipe opened and...

A huge scream was heard by everyone in the base...

Maya : Oh, that again ? What is it this time ? Tone : You say that with such a monotone voice. Maya : He does this sometimes, we are used to it. Furutaka : But wait, didn't were was also a girl voice too ? Maya : Don't care, it's the same for me.

Back at the arsenal...

Myschin, in huge despair : WHYYYYYYYY ?! Yamashiro, lying on the floor : Such misfortuneeeee ! Yukikaze : The eighth ship of Kagerou-class destroyer, I'm Yukikaze. I'll be in your care ! I can feel the presence of the goddess of luck above me ! Myschin : Why ? WHY ? YOU INFERNAL BEAVER OF HELL ! WHY DID YOU CAME NOW ?! Yukikaze, smiling : ... I don't know =D ! Myschin : I don't like you ! Yukikaze, smiling : Nihihi, I don't caaare ! Myschin : I'm gonna catch you and throw you in a beaver cage !! Yukikaze : If you can catch me first :P

A car chase began between the admiral and the destroyer, but now matter what, he can't capture her, or Yukikaze's luck was so strong that it prevent anyone to harm her.

Myschin, panting : Huf... I GIVE UP ! Yukikaze, smiling : Nihihi =D, Try again later. Myschin, panting : Tch, who gonna take of you ? Shiranui, pokerface : I will. You don't know how to be nice with this angel. Myschin : It's a beaver from hell ! Shiranui, pokerface : Soon, you will learn all the goods points about this angel. Yukikaze : Ne, ne Shiranui-chan, you're so niiice~

Then Shiranui start to nosebleed. Later, the admiral called Zuikaku in order to craft more planes.

Zuikaku : I don't understand why do you don't like Yukikaze. Myschin : She came when Yamashiro, out of all girls in the base, helped me with the constructions ! Talk about luck please. Zuikaku : Speaking of luck, I think that you will be very happy with this new plane. Myschin : Oh !

The newly crafted plane was the 3-star legendary Reppuu, one of the strongest planes that can be crafted.

Myschin : Good ! With this plane, we can took a huge advantage in air superiority ! Zuikaku : We will need more than one for that, but it's always a nice start to begin with.

2 days remains until the start of the Event.
Myschin : Now I can worry a lot. No matter how many times we can go into Bashi islands or Orel bay, we can't find Haruna ! Inazuma : Hum admiral, there is other way to search for her-nanodesu. Myschin : Ah ? Inazuma : Now that you cleared the Okinoshima Island campaign, you can go into the northern seas. Myschin : Oh I see... The new area is called... The Moray Sea ? It reminds me about the Moral Abyss level in Ecco : the Tides of Time. Let's see... What ?! No data about this area ?! Inazuma : Well, it's not a frequented area. Myschin : So we can go with whatever fleet we want ? Inazuma : I want to say yes-nanodesu ? But the compass is probably random too. Myschin : Glup ! I hope we will not encounter the same bullshit as we do in the Coastal zone and the Okinoshima Islands...

Moments later, a fleet led by Inazuma with Akatsuki, Maya, Kongou, Ise, and Shouhou prepared to go to this new area.

Myschin : ... I have not really something to say here ladies. This area seems so random... Kongou : Worry not, we will conquer this area within the day !

But right at the beginning of the mission, the compass girls sent the fleet in the wrong direction.

Kongou : BLOODY HELL !! Ise : Calm down. As the admiral said before, it's random.

Later, back at the naval base.

Myschin : Honestly, it would have been too much to win at our first time... Kongou : I'm still pissed... Myschin : There, there. I'll allow you to be really pissed if we can't reach the boss's node after 30 or so tries, like Okinoshima Island. Kongou : Oh Okay-desu. Myschin : Do you feel you can go another time now ? Maya : Yeah, let's say it was an accident. Let's kick ass and chew bubble gum... Ah shoot I don't have any bubble gum... Myschin, laughing : That's the spirit Maya, now go !

And for the second time, the fleet went to the Moray sea again, but this time...

Akatsuki : Yay, we took the good path this time. Ise : This is still another branch after the battle. Kongou : Whoah, the abyssals bring Flagships units right from the start now. Maya : Meh, it's only some Light cruisers, we can deal with them !

And the fleet managed to win their first battle with a S-Rank.

Myschin, through microphone : Everyone is fine ? Inazuma : Yes, nothing but scratch-nanodesu. Kongou : Now, the only problem left is... Compass Girls : We're baaack ! That Tatsuta was awful the last time, but now NOBODY will interfere with us this time ! Our Almighty Compass will deliver his judgement !! Akatsuki : This isn't just a regular compass ? Compass Girls : How dare you ! Let's spin it !

The needle pointed to the North-East.

Compass Girls : Oh no ! We failed to troll them !! Maya : Move around you stupid fairies. Ise : I wonder what kind of enemy await us now...

Her response came quickly... With an abyssal fleet led by a Flagship Ru-class and a Flagship Wo-Class

Ise : Oops, it's only the first zone and they bring a strong force ! Ru-class Flagship : You represent a threat to our forces ! Our superiors don't care for now, but we must stop you ! Maya : So they took seriously eh ? Bring it on ! Wo-class Flagship : No so fast ! WO gonna be rekt this time ?! Shouhou : I won't allow that !

But Maya was damaged by the abyssal planes.

Maya : Don't joke with me ! J...just wait and see ! Ru-class Flagship : Well done, Wo-class ! Kongou : You will regret that !

But neither Ru-class or Wo-class was targeted.

Ru-class Flagship : My turn !

And she heavily damaged Ise.

Ise : Gah ! My long-awaited flight-deck is... Shouhou : Inazuma, Akatsuki, take care of the destroyers so I'll can aim at their flagships ! Inazuma : Yes-nanodesu !

In the end, the fleet managed to win, at night time, with all of the heavy ships damaged. Akatsuki and Izanuma remain unscathed.

Kongou : It was one hell of a battle but we won YES ! Myschin : It's good to know. We won't often come back here but... Inazuma : Something wrong admiral ? Myschin : Yes, now we can access to the infamous Kis Island ! Akatsuki : Hey but now we can go with a Light cruiser as the flagship ! Myschin : Yeah but still, I fear this area, except for the first battle if we took the north route. My friends on the Communication Network told me that this is a great area for training as long as we bring a sub to tank the enemies's attacks.

1 day remains until the start of the Event.
Somewhere in an abyssal place

Hime#1 : ... Hime#2 : What's wrong sweetie ? You can't wait until tomorrow ? Hime#1 : I just... Want to see the moon again. I'll... Crush any opponent who will interfere with me ! Hime#2 : Ohohoh, that's the spirit sweetie. Soon, soon, you just have to wait. Hime#1 : Beside that... Something bother me. Hime#2 : Hmm ? What ? Hime#1 : The new hime who came a little earlier... She is a destroyer too, right ? Hime#2 : Yes, she is our precious trump card who will inflict the worst trauma to the humans who will face us. Hime#1 : But why she does have thoses... things ? I... I don't have such the same... Hime#2 : Hu ? What are you talking about ? Hime#1 : Those equipments... * I can't tell her it's about the chests, she will do weird things to me again... Fortunately we have found that foreign destroyer who will keep her busy *

Hime#3 : Heavy oh. Heavy oh. Gonna be all pretty to face to despicable shipgirls, and then SINK SINK SINK them nyahahahah !! Hime#4 : You are so excited it's almost scary ! Hime#3 : I CAN'T WAIT ANY FURTHER !! WOOOH ! Hime#4 : * Really scary in fact !! * Hime#5 : ... Hime#4 : Oh come on you, why are you so quiet since we began to prepare this operation ? Say something ! Hime#5 : I am looking at this new admiral's datas. Even if there so few about him, we must not underestimate him ! Hime#4 : Pff, again with this overprotective attitude of your ? You worry too much ! He's just a 1-month freakin' new admiral ! How does he can be a threat ?! Hime#5 : That's because we don't have enough datas. Just because he failed to conquer the Okinoshima Island in a short time doesn't mean he don't know what he doing. Hime#4 : Just wait until one our earlier hime stop him and you will see. Hime#5 : ... Right * They are REALLLY underestimate him, that could be a problem... *

Hime#2 : So you're a new hime right ? How strong are you ? Hime#6 : Ooooh I don't know, how about I whip your ass to measure my strength ? Hime#2 : ... Ewww gross ! Hime#6 : It's fine you know ? At worst, I will drag those admirals to the abyssal side !

-

In the admiral's office.

Yayoi, purring : Please pat me more... Myschin : Erm, I would like to, but I have some work right, can't you let me alone 5 minutes ? Yayoi : No way...

Yayoi was carried like a princess by the admiral.

Myschin : Pretty please Yayoi, it has been a countless number of circles around the office. Yayoi : I'm gonna sulk if you don't play with me more. Myschin : Tch, let's see if I'm able to work without my arms.

A few second later.

Kirishima, Kako, Sendai, Jintsuu, Inazuma, I-58 : ... Myschin, still holding Yayoi in his hands : I'm sorry... Yayoi, sparkling : Purrrfect... I-58 : Why don't you just realease her ? Myschin : I can't. Otherwise she will become to sulk and I don't want that... Anyway, if I called the 6 of you, it's for a training session in the north of the Kis Island. let's see how many experience you can get from 1 sortie. The 6 girls in the fleet : Yes admiral. Inazuma : What can we do to force you to leave the admiral Yayoi ? Yayoi, purring : I don't know... Just wait until I have enough... Inazuma : It could take the whole day !! Myschin : Go to the Kis Island then we will see after that.

In the Kis island's nearby.

Kako : That was rather easy. Kirishima : Yes, maybe it's because there is only lesser units who will only attack submrines. I-58, moderately damaged : Oh well, I can go again without going to the repairs dock. Inazuma : Wait, there is someone here !

Back at the admiral's office, Yayoi has fall asleep is the admiral's hands.

Myschin : Great, what I am gonna do now ? Yayoi : ... Please pat me more...

Then suddenly, the office's door was opened.

Sendai : We are back ! Myschin : Hu ? Something wrong ? Did someone get hurt too much ? Jintsuu : Not... Not yet but... ???? : The heck is wrong with you Kirishima ! I freakin' don't care about that rivalry ! Leave me alone, so I could meet the boss here. Myschin : Hu ?! Who is that ?!

Then, much to the admiral's surprise, Haruna entered in the office.

Haruna : Fast battleship, Haruna, reporting for duty. You're the boss here, correct ? I'm looking forward to working with you. Myschin : Wait, something wrong here ! Haruna, menacing voice : Ah ? Yes, that Kirishima is sticking to my side. Can I beat the crap out of her ? Myschin : Wait wait wait ! Aren't you supposed to be someone very kind with everyone ? Haruna : I'm only kind with my big sister Kongou and the person who command her. Myschin : But I am the admiral here and Kongou is under my command. Haruna : Ah, I'm sorry. Please let me cut myself to apologize ! Myschin : ... I refuse. Are you a yakuza or what ?!

Then Kongou entered the office herself.

Haruna : Aneki !! Kongou : So you're finally there Haruna... Let me tell you that the admiral here like the quiet girls. Myschin : It's not like that I hate the hot-blooded girls though. Kongou : So please Haruna, be more gentle with everyone would you ? Haruna : ... I guess I have no choice then...

Later in the day, there was several incidents caused by Haruna, who clashed with other hot-blooded girls such as Maya and Tenryuu, but Kongou managed to calm everything. In the evening, Zuikaku helped the admiral to craft some planes, and a second Ryuusei Kai and a new plane, the Suisei 12A were crafted.

Night time. The admiral has released his eldrazis around the base. Now he is looking at the sea with a deep look.

Myschin : It's coming... Our very first major operation... I wonder if I will meet that girl too. Inazuma, sitting next to the admiral : You talking about Harusame again ? Myschin : No, I'm talking about the Destroyer Hime. Somehow I really want to keep her with me. Inazuma : ... I'm not sure that the Headquarter allow you to keep an abyssal being in the base. Myschin : I am sure that I can. I just need to let her live as a civilian. Inazuma : But thoses abyssals probably will not listen to you, you know ? Myschin : Until we will meet them, we can't be sure. I just want to dream a little. You know, in another world, everyone said that the eldrazis were impossible to tame, and now look, they are here to protect you. The abyssals can't be more heartless than them. Inazuma : If you say so... Shouldn't you go sleep now ? Myschin : Just a moment please. The moon in the starry sky is beautiful... Inazuma, blushing : Do... Do you know what did you just say ? Myschin, surprised : Erm, I don't think there is a hidden message behind that sentence ^^' Inazuma, still blushing : * He don't know ? This is still so embarassing ! *

-

Hime#1 : Anytime now... I want so see the moon again ! Hime#2 : Just a little further and then you could go.

Firsts steps into the Event
It has finally came.

Myschin : This is it ladies ! It's the first day of the Event ! Maya : Let's go, let's go ! I want to kick some abyssal's ass now !! Myschin : I can understand that you are excited but we need to wait a little. We can't just go like that. I need some datas... I will follow my mentor's progression first.

On the communication Network.

Suna : Are you ready ? I'm gonna go in a few second. Myschin : With the visual recording, it will be easy to see what await us... Suna : The shiplock is there for us veterans, but in your case, you don't have to worry about it, since you are a newly assigned admiral, you will be not forced to use it. Myschin : I see... Suna : ... Myschin : Something wrong ? Suna : ... Yes, you're not gonna like what will happen if we reach the boss. Myschin : Eh ?

-

Shiratsuyu : What's wrong with the commander ? He seems to be very depressed. Murasame : It's true, I've never saw him so depressed before... I don't want to attack him now... Fusou : He is even more depressed than me in my worst days... Fumizuki : Hihihi, then I'm gonna give him a warm smile again. Inazuma : Wait a moment-nanodesu. I want to know why he is so depressed now. Natori : But there is this depressing aura all around his office. Even Yayoi don't want to approach him for now. Inazuma : I have to be strong and see what happened-nanodesu !

Taking his courage in two hands, Inazuma entered the admiral's office. Immediately, she started to feel a litle desperate.

Myschin, slumped over his desk : Why ? Why ? Why ? I can't... I can't go... Inazuma : Ad-Admiral ? Myschin, raising his head : Inazuma ? Why did you came here ? Inazuma : It's the first time we saw you that depressed... We... We want to know. What happened ? Myschin : It's too soon ! Too soon ! Why does it have to be like that right from the start ? Inazuma : What is too soon ? Myschin : I... I can't do it. It means that we have to hurt her... I DON'T WANT TO HURT HER !! Inazuma : ADMIRAL ! What's going on-nanodesu ?! Myschin : This first operation... Why do we have to fight the Destroyer Hime ?! Inazuma : Ah... Myschin : I just can't harm her. I want to save her, not to hurt her... Inazuma : But admiral, if you do nothing then you will not be able to save her either. Myschin : Why so soon ? Why she has to be our first major opponent ? Inazuma : This is something we can't know until you ask her directly. Myschin : ...

Inazuma noticed that the depressing aura has vanished.

Myschin : Maybe... Yes... Maybe I can do this... I don't care about the Headquarters, I'm gonna capture her at the end of the battle ! Such an opportunity may not came in a long time after that !

A moment later, the admiral apologized to all of the girls in the naval base.

Myschin : I'm sorry to have let my personal feelings interfere with our mission. Thus said, I have an announcement to make. If we will this first major battle, then I'm gonna keep the Destroyer Hime in our base. Most of the shipgirls : Whaaat ?! Myschin : Most of you, especially the oldest girls in this base, know how I want to make peace with the abyssals and save the Destroyer Hime. This is a perfect opportunity. It's soon but don't worry, I'll take responsability for keeping an abyssal in our base. Kongou : Well, it's not like we can't trust you. After all, there are those indescribable creatures all around the base to protect us. Myschin : And now, it's time for us to dive into this Event.

The admiral called Inazuma, Natori, Mochizuki, Shiratsuyu, Fumizuki and Ikazuchi.

Ikazuchi : Tell me commander, it is because all of our 6 have brown hairs that we will go together ? Myschin : Why not ? And I'm gonna go as well. Mochizuki : Hey, don't try to catch the enemy earlier. Myschin : I'm not gonna do that ! I need to see her with my own eyes.

And then the fleet penetrate the first area of the Event.

Myschin : With our fleet composition, we should be able to reach Destroyer Hime's node almost every time... Compass girls : Nyohohohoh ! Shiratsuyu : Ewww, the gross fairies are here again. Compass girls : Shaddup and rejoice ! With the right composition, you can always reach your objective. But we won't tell you if your current composition is the right one ! Myschin : Spin the compass and we will see.

And to the surprise of the admiral and the fleet, the first sortie ended in a dead end.

Myschin : Hu ?! What happened ?! We followed the right composition right ?! Compass girls : Yes but you need a specific girl in order to secure your path to the boss, without this girl, your light fleet will always have a small chance to go into that dead end. Myschin : And I guess you're not gonna tell us who is this girl right ? Compass girls : Of course not ! Find by yourself ohohoh !

The first encounter
Later in the day...

Natori : Do you think our composition is bad ? Myschin : I don't think so. We followed the rules, with 1 Light cruiser and 5 Destroyers because it's the easiest path to the boss, even with the randomness. Ikazuchi : Don't worry, this first sortie was an accident. We will reach the boss this time !

And after the first battle, the compass girls sent the fleet to the south.

Myschin : Good, we can reach the boss's area for sure. Shiratsuyu : If we can pass the next battle first.

There was 2 Ru-class Elite whow waited for them.

Myschin : Hu ?! You kidding right ?! Such strong enemies right from the start ?! Inazuma : This is probably why the compass girls told us about the right shipgirl, maybe she can let us pass directly to the resource node ?

The battle was intense and Mochizuki took moderate damages, but the fleet was still able to continue.

Myschin : Here it is...

The Destroyer Hime was apparently waiting for the fleet to come. She had a long side ponytail and a spiked hat, but her missing legs were the unavoidable thing to look at her.

Destroyer Hime : So you came... I won't let you go any further... I won't... BE DEFEATED !! Myschin : We can talk... Destroyer Hime : Are you kidding ? The only language that we will speak here is the violence ! Now attack my fellow destroyers !!

A ferocious battle began between the two forces.

Destroyer Hime : Sink ! SINK ! Natori, moderately damaged : Uwaaah, she's strong !

Shiratsuyu was heavily damaged as well.

Myschin : Please, listen to me ! Destroyer Hime : You're annoying ! Just because you sank my friends won't mean that I'm defeated yet ! Mochizuki : Maybe we should engage a night battle. Destroyer Hime : It's no use ! I won't be defeated !! Myschin : She... She won't listen to me... Inazuma : Then there is only one way to reason her-nanodesu !

Inazuma managed to Cut-In the abyssal hime and knock out her in 1 shot.

Destroyer Hime : AAAAH ! YOU LITTLE... ! Myschin : UWAAAH ! You almost gave me an heart attack Inazuma !! Inazuma : Sorry admiral, but this is the only way if you want to talk with her. Destroyer Hime, cornered : You... You won that first battle... BUT I'M NOT DEFEATED YET ! I won't let you win !! Myschin : Listen to me please... Destroyer Hime : Get lost !

Before the admiral can say anything else, Destroyer Hime ran away. The fleet came back to the base soon after.

Myschin : I swear Inazuma. Next time, prevent me when you will do something like that please. Inazuma : I'm sorry admiral, but now you know what can happen if we are forced to advance in night battles. Myschin : I also guess that we have to rely on this method if I want her to listen to me. Inazuma : Yes... Myschin : Okay... I'll not panic the next time. Everyone, take a rest, then we will come back here again. Shiratsyu, Mochizuki, Fumizuki, Ikazuchi, Natori : Yes admiral.

Kikuzuki's help & Urakaze's arrival
Natori, heavily damaged : Uwaaah ! Shiratsuyu, heavily damaged : ...It hurts, it's cold, it's embarrassing... Just you wait and see ! Mochizuki, heavily damaged : Seriously, I said it hurts a lot ! Myschin : Retreat !!

For the third sortie, the fleet ended in the Ru-classes's node again, but this time, it was a complete defeat for the shipgirls.

Ikazuchi : This is no good at all, we can't reach that node and then hope to survive 2 Ru-class Elites attacks if we want to progress... Myschin : For sure yes, but we still don't know who is the shipgirl who can let us avoid that node...

Later in the day, the admiral received a notification from an unknown sender on the Communication Network.

Myschin : I really don't like when a stranger come like that but... Hu ?

"Use Kikuzuki". Only 2 words, nothing else. The admiral was confused for a second. Then he called Kikuzuki in his office.

Kikuzuki : Why did you called me admiral ? Myschin : Do you know anything about that second SN Operation ? Kikuzuki : I was indeed involved in it, but my role was minor. Myschin : Can you go with the fleet ? Kikuzuki : I would like to, but Mikazuki will want to go too... Myschin : Arf... Fumizuki : Eheheh commander, don't worry. I'll leave my place in the fleet to my sister and I'll take care of Mikazuki. Then it's good, right ? Kikuzuki : Yes... We can go whenver you want commander.

-

Compass girls : Ohohoh, you finally found the right shipgirl !

And the compass pointed directly to the boss's node after the first battle.

Kikuzuki : ... Right... I came here a long time ago. Myschin : You will be alright ? Kikuzuki : Yes, don't worry about me...

And the fleet met Destroyer Hime for the second time.

Destroyer Hime : You came back eh... obstinate shipgirls ! Myschin : Yeah, we will come again and again, until you finally will listen to what I have to say... Destroyer Hime : Then I'll sink you once and for all !!

The battle that followed afterward was pretty much the same as the first. The abyssal princess was cornered and Inazuma finished her with another cut-in.

Destroyer Hime, panting : Kuh... It hurts... IT HURTS ! Myschin : LISTEN ! We can end this battle without hurting each others anymore ! Destroyer Hime : Go to hell ! I'll never listen to a human !

And then she ran away for the second time.

Inazuma : I guess she will break soon... Myschin : If only she would listen to me before that... Natori : Ah admiral ! There is a new comrade here. Myschin : Hu ? A new comrade ? Even if we went without using the shiplocking mechanism ?!

The admiral saw a girl with blue hairs.

Urakaze : Hello ! It's me, Urakaze, nice to meet'ya ! Myschin : WHOA ! Oh my god ! Urakaze : Oh ? Are ya the admiral of that fleet ? Myschin : Ah yes but... Let me take a break for a second. You... You are a very uncommun shipgirl, am I right ? Urakaze : If ya say so...

The fleet came back to the base with their new comrade.

Urakaze : Oooh, it look like very recent. Myschin : Ah yes... I was assigned a little more than a month ago. Urakaze : Oh I see... Myschin : In fact, you are the first non-buildable Destroyer to came in our base. Urakaze : So it mean that neither Hamakaze, Tanikaze or Isokaze is here ? Myschin : No, and I'm sorry... Urakaze : I'm not worried ya see ? At least Kagerou and some of their sisters are there, right ? Myschin : Yes... Urakaze : And if ya have 4 fleets activated, it does mean that... Kongou : URAKAZE !! Urakaze, very happy : Kongou-onee-sama !

The 2 shipgirls hug each other and the admiral suddenly noticed the same hair style between the two.

Myschin : Ah, I see why she called her onee-sama Hiei : HIEIII ! A RIVAL ?! Myschin : Oh sh...

And then, another incident involving Hiei happened once again in the naval base, and Kongou gave a lecture to her sister afterward.

Later in the evening...

Inazuma : Admiral, you don't want to go fight the Destroyer Hime again ? Myschin : We are not in a hurry and...

On the communication Network

Suna : RAAAH ! How this can be ?! Why E-3 is so hard ?! Peluche : Seriously... Cap'tain Fist : And this is only E3 right ? Suna : 3 himes-class enemies are too much ! And even if I can pass this map... My own mentor... He saw what await us after that infamous E3... You 3 will sooner of later start to feel the same terror as we felt back in the IronBottom Sound Event ! Myschin, Peluche, Cap'tain Fist : ... Suna : That new hime is TOO STRONG damnit !

The admiral saw other peoples complaining about the E3 map too...

Suna : There are already some veterans who fell into madness and some others are even quitting their post !! This Event is a pure madness, and it's only the E3 ! There is 4 more maps that come after this one !!

This night, the admiral fell asleep while hearing some of the complaints from the others admirals.

Myschin : * Damn, and this is our first Event... *

The last battle and the unexpected arrival.
The next day, somewhere in an abyssal place.

Destroyer Hime : Why ?! Why I can't win against him ?! Hime#1 : Oh sweetie, you lost again ? Destroyer Hime : Uuuh, it's the third time... And that admiral who try to speak with me... How dare he try to do that ? It's because of the humans if we were born in the first place !! Hime#2 : It's time to unleash your wrath. Time to be stronger. Time to inflict the most pain to those shipgirls ! Destroyer Hime : That Inazuma... She cut-in me everytime. I can't even counter-attack ! I... I don't want to loose again ! I'm at my limit now ! I don't want to be defeated !! Hime#1 : You won't be defeated. You are filled with determination now. You can win against him ! Destroyer Hime : Yes... YES !

Later, on the battlefield...

Myschin : Gah... She way thougher than the last time. What happened ? Inazuma : I... I don't know-nanodesu. Destroyer Hime : I WON'T LET YOU WIN !! NOW SINK !! Myschin : Retreat ! Retreat !

Back at the base.

Myschin : Something is different about her... She seems more... Determinated. Inazuma : It means that we can definitively win against her. We need to knock her down one last time. It's the last dance. Myschin : If it's all about determination... Then we must be determinated as well... How are we gonna do that ? Natori : I don't know... Mochizuki : You could promise me to play some video games with me... Myschin : That's not enough and would only work on you alone... Shiratsuyu : Then how about more pancakes ? Myschin : It's too early for that. Maybe after the end of the Event, but not before it end...

Everyone thought about an idea until...

Myschin : Okay girls, at least, you can do something for me that would make me very happy. Ikazuchi : Which is ? Myschin : Just win against the Destroyer Hime so I could capture her afterward ! Ikazuchi : Oh well, it's the initial plan right ? Myschin : Yes, but we must believe in it.

Later, back in the boss's node.

Destroyer Hime : Obstinate girls, why did you came again ?! I'll sent you back in your pathetic base ! Myschin, determined : NO ! YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ME THIS TIME ! I WILL SAVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT IT COST TO ME ! Destroyer Hime : YOU CAN'T SAVE ME ! IT'S TOO LATE NOW ! Myschin : IF I COULD BRING A TIME MACHINE, I HAD BEEN ABLE TO SAVE YOU A LONG TIME AGO. THE THING IS, I DON'T HAVE A TIME MACHINE ! Destroyer Hime : AH SHUT UP ! I'M GONNA NOT SINK THOSE SHIPGIRLS, BUT I WILL KILL YOU FOR SURE ! Myschin : ONLY IF YOU CAN WIN AGAINST MY GIRLS ! NOW GO EVERYBODY ! Inazuma, Natori, Shiratsuyu, Mochizuki, Kikuzuki, Ikazuchi : YES ADMIRAL ! Destroyer Hime : Attack, fellow destroyers !!

The most intense battle started right after that, and finally, while Shiratsuyu and Mochizuki were moderately damaged, only the Destroyer Hime remains on the other side...

Destroyer Hime : I'm not defeated yet ! You won't ! Defeat me ! Myschin : This is actually my last chance before she kill me if we fail ! So give everything you have ! All the shipgirls : YES !

The night battle began and Inazuma already armed her torpedoes for a cut-in but...

Destroyer Hime : This trick... WON'T WORK AGAIN !!

Then Destroyer Hime managed to Cut-in Mochizuki, who fell into heavy damaged state.

Mochizuki : AAARGH ! Myschin : Natori ! Do something ! Natori, determinate : I'll... I'LL TRY !

But neither of Natori's two attacks were enough to knock Destroyer Hime down !

Destroyer Hime : I WON'T GIVE UP ! YOU... CAN'T... WIN !! Myschin : Shi... Shiratsuyu !

But the destroyer missed her because of her moderately damaged state...

Myschin : Ki... Kikuzuki please ! Kikuzuki : Right !

Kikuzuki managed to wound the abyssal hime enough to put her into a heavy damaged state but it was not enough.

Destroyer Hime : This... is... useless... I won't be... Defeated... I won't... Myschin : How can she still standing ? Inazuma : They are not called 'hime' for nothing... Myschin : It's over ! I'm so dead now. Ikazuchi : Wait commander, it's my turn now ! Myschin : Ikazuchi ! It's now or nothing ! I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW !

Those words resonated in Ikazuchi's ears.

Ikazuchi : * The commander really need my help. He really need my help. He have to rely on me ! *

Then Ikazuchi suddenly started to sparkle so bright that it could match Fumizuki's smile.

Ikazuchi, max sparkled : Commander... YOU CAN RELY ON ME !!

Then Ikazuchi loaded her torpedoes and fired at Destroyer Hime. A huge explosion resounded.

Destroyer Hime : Ah... No... It... It can't be... I... I have... lost... ?

The abyssal princess fell in the water. Then she slowy raised her hand in the sky.

Destroyer Hime : The moon... It is... Beautiful.

And she began to sink in the ocean.

Destroyer Hime : Ah... No... NOOO ! I don't want to sink again... The bottom of the sea is so cold, so dark... I don't... Please... Someone... Help... Me...

Then she fainted and everything became black around her.

... ... ...

Destroyer Hime : * I remember. Once again... I was... Harusame... And the humans abandoned me to my sad faith, they didn't even try to help me back then... Damn you humans. My thirst for vengeance allow me to survive and become an abyssal ship... But now I have lost my last hopes. *

... ... ...

Destroyer Hime : * Wait a second... How can I still think about everything ?! I am supposed to be dead now, right ?! What's going on ?! *

Then suddenly, she woke up.

Destroyer Hime : Hu ?! Where I am ?!

She looked around her and they she saw an indescribable creature who was looking at her.

Destroyer Hime : ... Right, I am in hell I guess. Myschin : So... You're finally awake, aren't you ? Destroyer Hime : Hu ?!

She turned her head to the right and she saw the human who came to fight her in the sea.

Destroyer Hime : Y-You ! Myschin : Please stay calm, your wounds are not healed yet. Destroyer Hime : Where I am ? Myschin : You are currently in a repair dock inside my naval base. After your defeat, I managed to save you from sinking in the ocean. Destroyer Hime : ... So I am still... Alive ? Myschin : Wounded but alive, yes. Destroyer Hime : Then what is this creature ?! Myschin : This ? It's a measure of protection. Destroyer Hime : ...

She remind silent for a few seconds then...

Destroyer Hime : Why ? Myschin : Why what ? Destroyer Hime : Why did you save me ? I'm an abyssal ship... I'm an enemy of your race. Myschin : This must be the case, but I'm not an human from this world. I studied a lot before I came to this place. You abyssal ships want to avenge your previous death before you became abyssal ships right... Destroyer Hime : This is something that a few humans who would tell... Myschin : I believe in the fact that you are not the heartless monsters that most of the people in this world are talking about. I believe that I can bring an end to this war. Destroyer Hime : It's futile... This war stand lasts too long to be ended just like that... Myschin : I traveled around several worlds and some of them were gnawed by war. Some amoung them managed to make peace after all. I want... I want to give you a chance, to make peace with the natives humans of this world, to free all of your abyssal from that vengeful curse. Destroyer Hime, laughing a little : Fufufu, what a noble intention... But you are not the first to claim that... Do you really think you can change anything ? Myschin : Yes, I'm sure. Destroyer Hime : Now I'm curious to see if you can really change anything... But you should have started with another hime... Myschin : Actually... Destroyer Hime : ... ? Myschin : I wanted to save YOU as soon as possible, but I didn't expected to encounter you so soon. Destroyer Hime : And why me in the first place ? Myschin : Because you are Harusame to begin with, right ? Destroyer Hime : ... You know about that... Myschin : Yes. When I came to this world, about 9 month ago, I saw you for the first time in the Operation Kon. Then I wanted to save you from your condition. Destroyer Hime : You can't change me back into Harusame. I have memories from the pasts, but now I am the Destroyer Hime. Myschin : Yeah I know, but it doesn't matter. Actually, the fact that you are legless affected my decision to save you. Destroyer Hime : ... Are you telling me that you want to give me new legs ? Myschin : No, I guess you can go where you want without legs, but I want to take care of you, to bring you a nice life. Destroyer Hime : I can't trust you just like that... Myschin : Then...

The admiral approached his face close to Destroyer Hime's.

Myschin : Perhaps this will convince you...

He began to kiss the abyssal princess on the lips.

Destroyer Hime, blushing : ... ! Myschin : I'll take care of you, I promise. Destroyer Hime : But... I can't stay with you in this naval base ! Myschin : Yes you can. I'll take responsability for whatever can happen. Destroyer Hime : But the shipgirls won't accept my presence so easily... Myschin : This is something that I told them before actually. They will have no choice. Destroyer Hime : And your superiors ? They won't complain ? Myschin : As long as I safely keep you within my base, evetything will be fine.

Then someone came.

Inazuma : A-Admiral... Are you still... Myschin : It's already decided Inazuma. Inazuma : Awawawa... Myschin : And I had to kiss her to prove my sincerity. Inazuma, blushing : Awawawa ! Destroyer Hime : ... OK... I will become a resident in this naval base. I swear I will do everything to feel happy. Myschin : Actually, I plan to search for Harusame in the next area... Destroyer Hime : ... We will see later about that. Myschin : Then let me carry you outside of the dock and let's go meet the other shipgirls.

The admiral took the abyssal princess in his hands. She started to blush a little.

Destroyer Hime : Actually, you want even more than happiness for me right ? Inazuma : Awawawa... Myschin : Yes, but for this I'm sure nobody will allow me that. Let's let the things go naturally for now.

The admiral came back to his office with Destroyer Hime and Inazuma. Ooyodo, the real one, awaited for him.

Ooyodo : So you made your decision right ? Guess we can't complain about it. Myschin : No complains will be allowed on the fact that now, an abyssal being is living in our base. Ooyodo : Yes admiral, we will follow your orders. Myschin : Actually Ooyodo you can dismiss, I will not let you be the secretary forever. Ooyodo : Can I still keep my job as the mission's secretary ? Myschin : Of course. Ooyodo : Thank you admiral.

Flashback, just after the fleet managed to win against Destroyer Hime.

Myschin : We did it girls ! Now I just have to save the Destroyer Hime before she sank too deep. Kikuzuki : How are you gonna do that ? Myschin : By summoning a leviathan ! Kikuzuki : Whoah !

Then a huge sea serpent dive into the ocean and managed to grab Destroyer Hime's body.

Inazuma : Are you really sure about your decision ? Myschin : Yes, everything will be fine. Natori : Ah, wait a second admiral, I can see a new comrade who approach. Myschin : A new comrade ? A sister of Urakaze ? Ooyodo : Admiral, Light Cruiser Ooyodo has joined the battle lines. Please leave the fleet administration & supervision to me.

The admiral has his chin touching the ground.

Myschin : SERIOUSLY ?! Are you kidding me right now ?! Ooyodo : I am not admiral. Your fleet managed to found me around here so now you won't have to ask me about the administration through the television in the base. Myschin : Awawa... But I'm just a 1-month assigned admiral, are you fine to come in our base now ? Ooyodo : Anytime is good. If you need help, then I'll help you, don't worry ! Myschin : Oh... I see... Actually I have some things to tell you, about how I see the whole war and everything. If you are really coming back with us, then don't say anything about the fact that I also bring an abyssal ship with us ! Ooyodo : Oh... Right, admiral. I won't say anything...

- End of the Flashback -

In the abyssal place...

Hime#1 : Bad news ! Destroyer Hime lost to this admiral ! Hime#2 : Oh well, that girl was too hasty after all. I'll give her a lot of love when she will came back. It should be soon right ? Hime#1 : Actually... There is a worse news. It seems that Destroyer Hime was kidnapped by the admiral of the fleet... Hime#2 : Whaaat are you saying ?! Hime#3 : IT IS MY TURN YET ?! I WANT TO SINK SOMEONE RIGHT NOW !! Hime#2 : Calm down you ! Your turn will maybe not come if our new comrade doing her job fine with the Aircraft Carrier Onis sisters. Hime#3 : GROAAAR !! I WANT TO FIIIGHT !! Hime#4 : That girl is too hot-blooded. I will save Destroyer Hime-chan MYSELF ! I'm her best friend after all !

At the naval base, in the evening.

On the Communication Network.

Myschin : Finally managed to finish E-1 and even managed to bring back Destroyer Hime and Ooyodo ! Suna : Good for you but... Damn, even if I managed to finally clear E-3... OH GOD WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS BATTLE AGAIN ?! Peluche : Hey hey, it can't be as bad as the last time because there is no Regen bar this time ! Suna : It's still one of my worst Traumas ! Cap'tain Fist : Peluche is right. With Regen bar, you don't have to worry that much. Peluche : Also Myschin ! Myschin : Yes ? Peluche : I'm so jealous about the fact that you found Ooyodo this early !!

-

Destroyer Hime : Indeed... Your friends, and even yourself, are gonna face that crazy friend of mine... Myschin : We will see about that tomorrow I guess. Destroyer Hime : By the way, why did you carry me here, I wonder ? Myschin : To allow you to look at the sky... Look, it's there.

The abyssal princess raised her head and saw what she always wanted to see.

Destroyer Hime : Oh... The moon... It is... Beautiful... Myschin : Yes indeed, the moon sure is beautiful this night... Inazuma, watching from a distance and blushing : Awawawa, how could they casually talk about love just like that ?
