Wales: So does that mean you will join Azur Lane?

Illustrious: I'm sure someone with your experience will be a reliable asset to us.

Enty: You have already faced many battles and yet I still see that you haven't unlocked the full potential of your wisdom cubes.

Enterprise: What do you mean by that?

Enty: Hold out your wisdom cube Enterprise.

Enterprise followed Enty's instructions.

Enty: (inaudible chanting)

After Enty finished her chanting Enterprise's eyes suddenly glowed yellow.

Wales: What's happening!?

Enterprise: Nooooooo!!!

After she screamed she dropped to the floor tears flowing down her eyes.

Warspite: What was that?

Enty: I transferred my memories to her so she saw what happened to my sisters.

QE: You can transfer memories to others!?

Enterprise then got up and tackled Enty.

Enterprise: Why did you make me see that!?

Enty: You can't accept the fact that you can't save everyone.

Enterprise: You are just a heartless bitch we will never accept you!!!

Enty: You are still young Enterprise I tried to save everyone but when I tried to save them as a commanding officer they paid with their lives.

(1941) Somewhere near Midway

Enty: YORKTOWN!!!

Enty: Northampton damage report.

Northampton: All Japanese carriers sunk but Yorktown is badly damaged.

Enty: Send Hammann to provide auxiliary power.

Northampton: But submarines have been detected in the area.

Enty: Send her anyway. Hamman!

Hammann: Way ahead of you.

Yorktown: Thank you, Hamman.

Hammann: Don't mention it.

Northampton: We better leave now before we get hit by submarines.

Enty: Send Antisubmarine screens.

Northampton: Yes Admiral.

Meanwhile somewhere in the Pacific.

I-168 can be seen stalking the damaged Yorktown.

I-168: I will avenge my seniors take this rust bucket.

On the Yorktown.

Hammann: I'm providing you with all my hoses and pumps to pump out all the water.

Yorktown: Thanks.

Yorktown then looked to her starboard side.

Yorktown: HAMMANN GET OUT! NOW!!!

Hammann saw the torpedoes headed for her.

Hammann: fire all anti-air guns!

They didn't react in time.

*BOOM*

Hammann: Arghhgg!

Yorktown: NOOOO!!!

Some of the torpedoes were now getting close to Yorktown.

Yorktown: You gave your life to save me I'm so sorry.

Yorktown said crying

*BOOM*

Northampton: Enterprise...

Enty: Yes Northampton.

Northampton: We lost Hammann and Yorktown by a submarine attack.

Enty couldn't say anything she only dropped to her knees.

Enty: OH GOD NOOO!! How am I going to tell this to Hornet?

Enty said crying her heart out

(Present)

Enty: So you see. I tried to save her, it was a gamble and it cost Hammann's life.

Enterprise: ...

Enty: You're still young and you shouldn't be burdened with such a decision but you must accept that you cannot save everyone you can only give them a hand.

Enterprise lets go of Enty and then walks away.

Enty: She's like me, she carries the weight of a nation but she must know that she is not alone.

Enty stands up.

Enty: You are all young and have so much to learn but I too have learned something from you.

They all stood at attention.

Enty: You once again reminded me that we are not just weapons of war. This is why I will gladly join Azur Lane.

Wales: This is great but we would like to hear a lecture from you in the academy.

Enty: I must first find Enterprise after what she heard and saw she would break herself. And therefore it's my responsibility to mentor her to the best of my abilities. I can also teach you how to reach the full potential of your wisdom cube.

Illustrious: We would love to learn more about what we can do with our wisdom cubes.

Wales: But indeed you need to help Enterprise what you did is uncalled for.

Enty then looked back at them.

Enty: I have been too cruel with Enterprise I will need Belfast's help.

QE: Very well, Belfast.

Belfast: Of course your majesty.

Enterprise is walking down the hallway reflecting on what she saw.

Enterprise's mind: Yorktown she's still alive no need to panic.

Enterprise takes a deep breath.

Enterprise's mind: You can still protect them you have to be stronger.

Belfast: Enterprise!

Enterprise was pulled out of her thoughts.

Enterprise: What is it Belfast?

Belfast: I would like to take you somewhere.

Enterprise: Sorry but I'm too busy.

Belfast: I'm afraid that's not optional.

Belfast smiled sadistically.

Meanwhile at the beach.

Javelin: Um...

Javelin can see a lot of ship girls playing and relaxing at the beach.

Javelin: How did this happen?

Laffey: Javelin, you look worried.

Javelin: Laffey...

Laffey: The best solution is to play.

They all looked to Enty fishing at the docks.

Laffey: Look, even entry has time to relax.

Meanwhile, they could see Hornet showing the girls the way to a healthy lifestyle.

Ship girl: San Diego!?

Ship girl 2: Behind you! Behind you!

San Diego: Eh!

San Diego looks behind her to see a shark coming straight at her.

San Diego: Ahhhhh!!! Help me!!

Enty sees this and springs into action.

San Diego: Someone, save me!

Just then Enterprise and Belfast arrive at the beach.

Enterprise: What's happening?

Belfast: I don't know.

They can see Enty wrestling the shark with her bare fist.

Enty: Arrghhh!!! YOU'RE BECOMING SUSHI TONIGHT!!!

Enty said as a struggle between the shark and Enty ensued.

Enty: Take this!

Enty managed to find the weak spot of the shark and she drags it back to shore. Both Enterprise and Belfast ran towards Enty who suffered several bite marks.

Enty: Who wants sushi tonight.

San Diego: Thank you for saving me.

San Diego said while kissing Enty's foot.

Belfast: We need to get you to an infirmary.

Enty: So your pain tolerance is weaker than I thought.

Hornet: How did you do that!?

Enty: What, that was barely a fight, if you want a real fight find a Japanese samurai.

Belfast: You're perhaps more brutish than Enterprise herself.

Hornet: But what about your wounds?

Enty: I will just head to Vestal later.

Enty looked to Enterprise.

Enty: I just want to say sorry for forcing that on you.

Enterprise: It's fine I should say sorry myself.

Hornet: You were so cool back there.

Enty: I learned this in survival training after what happened to Indianapolis.

A few hours later.

Enty, Enterprise, Unicorn, and Belfast can be seen watching the sunset.

Unicorn: The ocean is so beautiful.

Enterprise: They always say the same thing.

Unicorn: Huh?

Enterprise: I only saw the ocean as a battlefield it only reminds me of the roar of artillery and the screams of planes.

Belfast: What do you think Enty?

Enty smiled and said.

Enty: I think the same as Enterprise but only on specific parts of the ocean.

Enterprise: What do you mean?

Enty: Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Santa Cruz islands remind me of all the friends that I lost.

Belfast: I'm sorry Ms. Enty.

Enty: ... The reason I ran away when hearing Iron Bottom back at the mess hall is that that is the place where I lost most of my comrades.

Enterprise: How bad was it?

Enty: Most ships in the war were sunk in Guadacanal. I wasn't there but those who survived talk about a great naval battle. They were ambushed by the Japanese at night and we are inexperienced in night engagements.

(1942)

San Francisco: Stay frosty never know when we are going to be ambushed.

Suddenly several searchlights originating from Hiei and Akatsuki face Atlanta

Atlanta: What's happening!?

almost at point-blank range, Hiei fired at the CSAS ships.

Atlanta: Ahhhhh!!

San Francisco: Ambush!!!

The battle was so close that it turned into a confusing battle filled with ships overlapping their fire.

Laffey: Who are we supposed to fire at!?

Laffey then crossed paths with Hiei.

Laffey: Ahhhh!!!

Hiei: What!

Atlanta: Just fire at will! 

Laffey, O'Bannon, Atlanta, San Francisco, Portland, and Helena opened fire on Akatsuki.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Akatsuki: Ahhhhh!!!

Hiei: AKATSUKI!!

Atlanta looked at Hiei.

Hiei: Destroyers engage Atlanta.

*Splash* *Splash* *Boom*

Atlanta: Ahhhh!!! I'm hit!

Atlanta then came into San Francisco's line of fire.

Atlanta: Wait!

*Boom*

San Francisco: Oh God I'm sorry.

(Present)

Enty: It was a bloody battle we lost many ship girls including Atlanta, Laffey, and Northampton. I also noticed that Javelin, Laffey, and Unicorn are friends with Ayanami but she was scuttled after the battle.

Both of them were silent at Enty's war story.

Enty: We gave the waters off Guadacanal the name Ironbottom Sound due to the number of ships that were sunk.

Enty sighed.

Enty: Please don't tell any of them about their fates they might get depressed... I can still see a lot of life in them and to tell them they are about to die is best left unsaid.

Belfast: Why would you fight each other?

Belfast asked.

Enty: Simple, we weren't taught the lesson of cooperation, we did but not before sacrificing tens of millions of lives.

Enterprise and Belfast: ...

Enty: So it's such a disappointment to see you fighting each other even though you already witnessed the near extinction at the hands of the sirens.

Enterprise: I haven't thought of it that way.

Enty: We are ships meant to carry the interest of our nation, you are ships meant to carry the hopes of humanity. You all have a lot of potentials but you waste it on fighting against each other.

Enty stands up.

Enty: Our world already has world peace but our lust for war will always be in our souls. A true soldier fights not who she hates in front of her, but who she loves behind her.

Belfast: Wise words coming from you I'm excited about your lecture tomorrow.

Enty: Thank you for this conversation.

Enterprise: No, thank you for teaching us who we are fighting for.

Enty: Looks like a storm is coming better get inside.
