1950

At San Francisco(Japanese control)

Sakura Empire HQ

We could see Shoukaku walking at the halls of the HQ holding her samurai sword after her training with Mikasa

Its been a year after her encounter with the red cloaked figure(Hornet) at that time she doesn't used her samurai sword since she is confident of defeating her in New York but the shipgirl was very good at sword fighting at that time and she almost forgot her sword lessons that she and Zuikaku learned from Mikasa

after her Defeat the red cloaked figure passed by her leaving her but not saying an few words

"I heard from your sister that you've used an sword once why don't you used it?"

Shoukaku is an person who doesn't want to use an sword and preferred long range attacks but that day changed her mind and started training again until she was called at the commanders office for a mission

As Shoukaku enters the commander's room she saw other officers talking to the commander and then looking at her and then the commander in the room spoke

Japanese Commander:(Speaking Japanese) Ah Shoukaku you're here please take an seat

and then Shoukaku sits at an chair and thanked the commander and then the commander spoke

Japanese Commander:(Speaking Japanese) We spotted an anomaly near Okinawa waters I want you and 5 shipgirls to investigate we will also give you an secret camera so we could also observe the anomaly

Shoukaku:(Speaking Japanese) I see I will go now thank you

and then both of them bow and Shoukaku left the room to prepare her mission


4 Hours later

Japan, Okinawa, Okinawa waters

We could see Shoukaku along with 5 more shipgirl(1 Battleship, 2 Light Cruisers, and 2 destroyers)

as they look for the anomaly they saw an figure standing with her clothing covered in Black smoke and the anomalies eyes were red with an Black owl an her shoulder and her rigging is an Aircraft Carrier

Shoukaku: W-What are you?!

and then the anomaly shouted loudly and launched planes at them in response Shoukaku sent her planes while the other shipgirls use there AA(Anti-Aircraft guns) to destroy the anomalies planes


At San Francisco(Japanese control)

Sakura Empire HQ

As the Japanese Officers saw the anomaly they were shocked at its appearance and saw the anomaly damaging the shipgirls one by one except for Shoukaku that was dodging the anomalies planes and sending her own planes to the enemy

As this happens they immediately send back up for Shoukaku's group


At Shoukaku's side

As she is the last one that could fight while the other can't 

Shoukaku: Everyone get out of here I'll handle her and buy you some time Go!

and then the injured shipgirls left while Shoukaku handle the enemy all by her own

As time goes on she goes into an defensive position as all of the anomalies dive bombers are all focused an her  

Shoukaku: I really don't enjoy being totally on the defensive *dodges another bomb*

as she dodges that bomb the Anomalies owl turned into an pistol and Shoukaku's in the gun range 

Shoukaku: Shit!

but as the anomaly pulled the trigger of the gun an Red cloaked figure blocked the bullet from hitting Shoukaku's head and as Shoukaku looked at her savior she was shocked and spoke

Shoukaku: You're!!!

Red cloaked figure(Hornet): I know I know It would be best for you to shut up so I could handle our enemy here

and then The Red cloaked figure engaged with the Anomaly
