The next day
Josh had gathered some of his friends from both the Eagle Union and the Royal navy. As the others were chatting, Tripitz is helping Josh with filling some reports from the scouts until a couple cups of tea was placed down in front of them.

Josh: thanks Belfast.

Belfast: my pleasure, commander.

Tripitz: (having a sip) have you heard from your zisters?

Belfast: my apologies but no I haven't.

Josh: I'm sure that they're doing ok, Tripitz.

Elsewhere

Location: Sakura Empire

Kaga's sister, Akagi is talking with the siren Observer while Kaga was above a dry dock and listening in the conversation between the two.

Outside

A catlike repair ship was wondering around and gotten herself lost.

IJN Akashi
Naval ship: Repair ship
Camp: Sakura Empire
Faction: Neutral

Akashi: oh bother nya I've gotten myself lost again

Then she ran into Kaga

Kaga: what are you doing?

Akashi: NYA!? Kaga? What ARE you doing he-mmph?!

Kaga puts her hand over Akashi's mouth and they hid when Akagi looked up to find out that there wasn't any one on overhead

Akagi: i thought that there was someone here. Must've been my imagination.

Then two disguised light cruisers met up with Kaga.

Kaga: Let's go somewhere private.

The two cruisers nodded and followed her

Kaga: thanks for coming Sheffield and Edinburgh

The two took their masks off

Sheffield: it's fine, Kaga.

HMS Sheffield/ HMS Edinburgh
Naval ships: crusiers
Camp: Royal Navy
Faction: Azur lane

As Kaga hands them a different colour cube and tells them that she's going with them to Azur Lane until sirens went off

Kaga: damn, looks like we need to get going

The three ran to the docks but then Kaga felt something in one of her nine tails. And finds out that it was Akashi holding one of them

Kaga: What are you doing, Akashi?

Akashi: take me with you, Nya.

Kaga: fine. But you better hold on tight.

As they jumped onto the water, their ships transformed into rigs and rushed out of Sakura Empire waters but were intercepted by a couple of heavy cruisers.

IJN Atago/Takao
Naval Ships: heavy cruisers
Camp: Sakura Empire
Faction: Red Axis

Takao: i never thought that you of all people would be a spy, Kaga. Why?

Kaga: why should I tell you two? I never trusted this alliance.

Takao was angry when she said that and then attacked them as Kaga sent a blue jet to Azur Lane then the four of them were forced to take shelter from both the Sakura Empire and Iron Blood.

At Azur Lane

As Josh was just finishing his paperwork when a blue jet origami hits him on the side of his head

Josh: ow! What the? (Picks up the plane) I thought that Kaga usually sends a blue bird instead of (realising that Kaga's cover was exposed) oh no. (Into a intercom) Tripitz, report to my office immediately.

with Tripitz. While she is hanging out with Unicorn and her friends

Josh: (intercom) Tripitz, report to my office immediately.

Unicorn: are you in trouble, Tripitz?

Tripitz: nein. At least I don't think so.

She goes to see Josh in his office

Javelin: (confused) where did Tripitz go?

Unicorn: to see the commander.

Back in Josh's office

Tripitz arrived at Josh's office and waited until he lets her entered his office. Then he did and she saw a blue plane instead of a bird.

Tripitz: vhy is there a plane instead of a bird?

Josh: that's her emergency origami, Tripitz.

Tripitz: emergency? Vhat happened?

Josh: her cover was blown. I need you to assemble the best fleet.

Tripitz: understood.

She goes and gathers Hood, Enterprise, Cleveland, Belfast and Javelin as Josh informs them of their mission was to find and recover Kaga and Belfast's sisters and bring them back to Azur Lane safely.

Enterprise: just to double check, Josh. You want us to find Belfast's sisters and the Sakura Empire carrier?

Josh: yes.

Enterprise: what if she attacks us?

Josh: I guarantee you that she won't unless you attack her first.

Enterprise pouts.

Josh: Tripitz.

Tripitz: ja?

Josh: you're going to be the flagship for this mission and I'm coming with.

Hood: um question

Josh: yes?

Hood: who's going to be in charge of the base?

Familiar voice: me.

QM2 entered the office

Josh: I've asked Mary to be in charge while we are on the mission.

QM2: and seeing that my ship self is now under redevelopment. I can't leave.

As the others went to their ships, Josh gets dressed into a navy cameos for naval combat with a cap and boards Tripitz's ship then the fleet left.
