SAKURA EMPIRE FIFTH AIRCRAFT CARRIER DIVISION.

On the forward flight deck Shokaku sits somewhat distraught.

Shokaku: How unfortunate for me to be bullied by our evil superiors, don't you think so Zuikaku?

Standing at the bow of her ship, Zuikaku answers her sister.

Zuikaku: Sister, could you take this seriously? We can show those old ladies in the first division how good we are

Shokaku: Damn, you're a very direct girl, don't worry, your older sister supports you.

Zuikaku: (Draws her sword) That's right! If you are here there is nothing to fear!

Zuikaku is covered in fire and her ship glows...

AZUR LANE BASE

The base had already been alerted to the fifth division's attack on the Hornet fleet.

Wales: We urgently need a fleet that can set sail now.

Me: I can set sail now.

Cleveland: Me too.

Enterprise: I'm going too, Hornet is my sister, so I think it's only fair that I go.

Javelin: I'll go.

Laffey: Laffey is going too.

Wales: Well, in that case go.

All: Understood!

So the girls went to help the allied fleet, however, the enemy also has reinforcements, the Iron Blood fleet.

Meanwhile, in Hornet's fleet, all of them were incapacitated except for Hornet, she dodges, but can't attack.

Hornet: I don't understand how two carriers could disable a fleet of carriers, battleships and cruisers!

Shokaku: (Playing a melody on a flute) This is a melody that guides souls to the afterlife.

Hornet: No thanks, I want to live.

Zuikaku: You lowered your guard!

Hornet: Damn.

In that Zuikaku appears in Hornet's blind spot, Zuikaku is ready ready to cut Hornet.

RRROOONNNNNNNNNN! ¡TATATATATATATATATATA!

Zuikaku: Nani!?

In that several Corsair planes attack Zuikaku, Zuikaku realizing she cuts all the bullets without problems.

Enterprise: (shocked) What was that? How was she able to cut all those bullets?

ME: That's impossible!

Zuikaku: Nothing is impossible for me! So here you are Gray Ghost!

Zuikaku lunges at Enterprise and Enterprise blocks the attack with her bow.

Hornet: Sister!

Enterprise: (Struggling) I'll stop her! Get out!

Hornet: Thank you sister.

Me: Quick! I'll cover you!

In that, two Shokaku planes try to prevent Hornet from escaping, but our protagonist uses the CIWS.

¡BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Shokaku's planes were easily shot down.

Hornet: Who are you?

Me: I'm USS Long Beach, Long Beach-class cruiser!

Shokaku: Who is that? Zuikaku! Do you know that kansen?

Zuikaku: (Fighting Enterprise) Sister not now! I'm kind of busy!

¡CLAKNC!

Enterprise: Why did your nation attack ours!?

Zuikaku: I don't know! We have orders and we will fulfill them!

Enterprise: I understand, so here's the thing.

The fight between two aircraft carriers continued.

Enterprise repels Zuikaku's attack by putting some force, Enterprise in that time shoots 7 consecutive arrows which are transformed into anti-aircraft bullets, Zuikaku seeing Enterprise's attack, she deflects all attacks without problems.

Meanwhile the rescue fleet is near, they had rescued all the members of Hornet's fleet, Long Beach escorts Hornet.

Cleveland: Hornet!

Hornet: Ladies, thanks for the help.

Cleveland: Let me get my ship out so they can board it, it's time to leave.

Hornet: Thank you.

Me: Take advantage of Enterprise and I buying you time.

Cleveland: Ok.

In that the Long Beach radar detects an anomaly very close to them, in that she sees several siren ships appearing.

Me: Shit! We have enemies to our rear!

In that the girls realize that the enemy had ambushed them.

Eugene: Fire!

¡BAM!

Eugen's cannons fire, but the girls dodge as Long Beach had alerted the girls.

Me: As expected, everything was going very well.

Eugen: Ara, it seems that our ambush didn't work.

Hornet: It's Iron Blood, what we were missing.

Eugen: The fact that they saw my attack coming means that I will have fun with you.

Me: It's 3 siren heavy cruisers, 4 siren destroyers and we have 2 Red Axis destroyers.

Cleveland: Now what?

Me: You can't fight, we have several wounded, Cleveland, I want you guys to stand down, I'll take care of the enemy fleet.

Cleveland: Got it.

Hornet: But you, are you sure about this?

Me: Yes, I can take care of them.

In that the Azur Lane girls realize that Z23 takes several steps forward, it seemed that she was going to fight.

Eugen: Nimi, do you think you can beat them?

Z23: Yes, my name is Z23! I know you guys are at a disadvantage, so we'll duel, I'll fight one of you! What do they say? If I lose you live, but if I win you will be prisoners of war!

Javelin: A duel?

Me: Are you sure they won't attack us if we win fairly!?

Z23: Nope!

Me: Fine, in that case I'll go.

Z23: As you like.

Meanwhile, Eugen thinks about that cruise ship that he now sees.

Eugen: Ufufu, so she's Long Beach, so she's the cruiser that shot down the planes of the empire's first carrier division, this is interesting.

Our protagonist locks her rifle to load a bullet into the chamber of her rifle.

Z23: That's a sniper weapon, doesn't she know that at this distance using that weapon is a disadvantage? It's the first time I've seen a sniper rifle so close.

At the base the Kansen do not usually use pistols or rifles, they generally use their cannons or swords to fight.

Z23 starts with the first move by firing her cannons, our protagonist dodges Z23's attacks, then our protagonist fires a shot with her sniper rifle and the shot disables Z23's magazine, but she doesn't notice the damage, Z23 keeps firing, while our protagonist dodges Nimi's attacks.

Z23: Why hasn't she locked up her rifle yet?

Z23 realizes after our protagonist has fired her rifle, she has not locked her rifle and that bothered Z23.

AZUR LANE OFFICE COMMAND OFFICE

In the room everyone is tense, the sudden attack on the Hornet fleet by Iron Blood together with Sakura Empire have them worried.

¡RRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!

The sound of the phone ringing, Wales quickly picks up and answers.

Wales: Yes? This is the base of Azur Lane.

QE: [Long time no see Wales.]

Wales: Your Majesty?

QE: [Your wait is over, I Queen Elizabeth and her noble fleet have arrived.]

Wales: Thank you very much your Majesty, our allied fleet is under attack.

QE: [Of course I am aware of that. I've already moved my chips.]

Far from the Royal Navy fleet, a woman dressed as a servant sails smiling and at full speed.

Returning to the fight, Enterprise continues to fire at Zuikaku while Zuikaku is on the defensive.

Enterprise: Don't or try! I've gotten used to your tactics! The same technique doesn't work twice against an Athena knight!

Zuikaku: Wrong anime!

Enterprise: Oh, sorry, but don't change the subject! I want you to stand down or surrender! This will not end well for you!

Zuikaku: Tch, she's very skilled and powerful. But I am determined to defeat you!

In that Zuikaku repels an arrow from Enterprise and deflects it forward from Zuikaku, this creates a curtain of water that prevents Enterprise's vision and Zuikaku will not miss the opportunity and attacks Enterprise, the attack manages to break Enterprise's attack and now Zuikaku was the attacker and Enterprise is on the defensive.

Zuikaku: I'll show you my aircraft carrier power with the best of luck!

Enterprise: You're wrong! I am the luckiest aircraft carrier!

Zuikaku: Then earn that position!

Enterprise: I already earned the job!

¡CLACK! ¡CLACK! ¡CLACK! ¡CLACK! ¡CLACK! ¡CLACK!

The fight goes on, there didn't seem to be any winners, in that Enterprise makes a feint that she stumbles and falls, Zuikaku all gullible easily falls into the feint.

Zuikaku: You're mine! Your guard is broken!

Shokaku does realize Enterprise's intentions, so she warns her sister.

Shokaku:  Zuikaku!

Entreprise: Nope! You're the one with the broken guard!

Zuikaku: ¿ ¿ ¿ ???

Zuikaku having her katana raised on top to make a downward slash, she exposes her entire body and Enterprise knows that.

Zuikaku: Shit, it was a feint!

Enterprise: ¡Shineee!

Enterprise releases the arrow, Zuikaku as an expert warrior and luckily, she manages to deflect Enterprise's arrow, Ahhh, but Zuikaku goes back when she realizes that this arrow is not a normal arrow, this arrow is a plane bomber, which when summoned, Enterprise's plane bombards Zuikaku and Enterprise.

Zuikaku: Are you crazy!? (Screams of pain) AAAAAHHH!

¡BBBBBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

The explosion was something big, Zuikaku escapes because she had suffered serious damage and not only that Enterprise had used her as a shield to protect herself from the bombs, that's why Enterprise was unharmed.

Enterprise: (chases after Zuikaku) Zuikaku! Here comes your Uber!

Zuikaku: (Running away) What Uber!?

Enterprise: You v****!

In that Enterprise kicks the Zuikaku and Zuikaku goes flying and lands on her face in the sea several meters ahead, Zuikaku stands with difficulty, she has many injuries and first and second degree burns.

Zuikaku: My body is at its limit, I don't think I can continue, but... I'm fighting against a formidable warrior, it would be disrespectful if I don't finish this duel. (I don't care if I win or lose)

BACK WITH THE FIGHT.

Eugen watches the match between Long and Z23.

Eugen: Why does she only dodge Z23's attacks? Why isn't she shooting? Although I must admit the evasive ability of the enemy.

In that Eugen realizes that our protagonist locks her rifle.

Eugen: So she's going to shoot.

Z23 keeps firing.

Z23: Why don't you shoot!?

Me: I wait for the right time and this is not the time.

Z23: Eh?

Me: (talking like Sherlock Holmes) Me waiting, you shooting.

In that sounds a "Click" That meant that Z23's cannon stops firing and this surprises Z23.

Z23: Did I run out of ammo? That's impossible, I still have 35 shells in reserve.

In that our protagonist points her rifle towards Z23.

Eugen: Watch out Z23!

Z23 realizes the threat, but it was too late, Long fires and the bullet hits Z23's cannon hydraulics, causing high pressure oil to be released and smearing Z23 with hydraulic oil.

Z23: (Desperate) AHHHHH! I got oil in my eyes! It burn me!

Me: do you give up?

Z23: I give up! I give up! But someone help me!

Me: Prinz Eugen, you better help your little friend before it gets worse.

Eugen is in a state of shock, the enemy had only fired twice and incapacitated a formidable Iron Blood warrior.

Eugen: (Who is that woman? How could she defeat Z23 using two shots?)

Eugen walks over to help Z23 who is wallowing in the sea with sore eyes, then they leave.

Enterprise continues to fight against a badly injured Zuikaku, Shokaku looks for an opportunity to get her little sister out, but Enterprise's interceptors block her way.

Shokaku: Zuikaku! 

Shokaku is very worried about Zuikaku, but Zuikaku is determined to beat her up, just once.

Enterprise: (authoritative voice and points her bow at Zuikaku) Last chance, retreat or surrender.

Zuikaku: Even if it's a blow.

Enterprise: Then it's over.

Enterprise draws her bow and fires her arrow, the arrow is directed at a wounded Zuikaku who can barely move, a miracle happened, a Mitsubishi A6M Zero managed to infiltrate and crashes into Enterprise's arrow causing the arrow to miss its target, Shokaku. she saw her chance and grabs Zuikaku and drags her off the battlefield.

Shokaku: (Annoyed) You fool! I told you to back off!

Zuikaku loses consciousness after hearing Shokaku's reprimand.

Enterprise: (Sails towards Long Beach) Thank you very much Long Beach.

Me: There are no problems, your sister is fine, her subordinates are fine too, they just have some injuries and are very tired.

Enterprise: (sigh) I understand.

Me: Well, I guess I can't let it go.

Enterprise: Is something wrong?

The Long Beach cruiser had detected a ship approaching their position a long time ago, had ignored it until now, but can no longer turn a blind eye.

Me: [This is Eagle Union cruiser CGN-9, an unidentified vessel sailing 10km from our position, identify yourself or alter your course, if you omit these orders you will be the target of defensive maneuvers.

The woman dressed as a maid receives Long's warning and decides to identify herself.

Belfast: [I am Belfast, Edinburgh Class Light Cruiser, Royal Navy Maid Corps, here as a reinforcement].

Me: Bad news, they're late, we just repelled the enemy attack.

Belfast: [Oh, am I done?]

Enterprise: Royal Navy is here?

Enterprise: This is Enterprise of the Eagle Union, welcome girls from the Royal Navy, surely you have questions, after anchoring in port let's talk in the office.

Belfast: [I understand, I will pass your message to the queen]

Enterprise: Well, let's go back.

Me: Ok.
