My plane ride was pretty uneventful, but as we flew I seen an Fuso fleet heading towards Orussia. I make my way to the cockpit.

Ashley - ' Hey, you think we can follow that ship? Wait hold on. Whats that in the distance? '

I strain my eyes to see what the black dots in the distance are. It then clicks in my head that those are neuroi. So wait this must the ship with the Karibuchi sisters inside, but the timeline doesn't match up. Could it be the butterfly effect?

Ashley - ' Radio to the ship theu got Neuroi approaching them. '

Co-pilot - ' Yes Flying Officer. This is Britannian transport A-2243 to Fuso carrier, you have Neuroi approaching you for the north north east. '

I make my way out of the cockpit into the cargo hold to find a gun, I find a spare bren gun in the back. I move to the side access door and open it. Using my magic I make my feet stick to the plane and make my way to the top of it. I lay my self down and get ready for combat.

I look over the side of the plane and see a bunch of Fuso Zeros on the ship deck taking off. I watch as a witch also takes off. I radio to the pilot to do a defensive flight over the aircraft carrier and that I'll handle any Neuroi that get too close. We make are way to the fleet and start circling it. The Neuroi slowly push towards us. Takami is slowly being pushed back. One of the destroyers gets hit. Damn I dont have a striker, I would be able to help so much more if I had a unit. The fighting last a little longer then a red glow appears from her. She then kill the main Neuroi advance. But soon falls to the deck of the ship. I make my way into the plane again and grab my luggage.

Ashley - ' Can you get me close to the deck of the carrier? '

Pilot - ' What! Are you crazy? '

Ashley - ' I asked if you can do it not question me. '

Pilot - ' Yes I can do it. Ill do it now. '

I get myself ready to jump from the plane to get onto the carrier. The plane skims close to the deck and I jump off rolling a few time before coming to a stop. The crew on the deck look at me like I'm a rare animal. Can't this wait for later we are still in combat. I put down my luggage and walk over to Hikari and her sister. I help the crew bring Takami to the ship's infirmary.  I can hear the Neuroi attacking out side. I go to the deck elevator and switch the gun for Hikari to the bren I borrowed from the plane. I then take the cannon and run up to the flight deck. I find a nice spot to sit dow and aim. As I do this I see Hikari ascend on the elevator and take off, she doesn't seem to realize the gun is different. Ill support her by attacking the Neuroi from here. I keep an eye on how shes flying and take shots at the Neuroi thats about to fire at her. The Neuroi stops targeting Hikari and turns towards me. Ah man I really messed up now. I stand up and activate my shield to block the lasers coming to attack the carrier. After holding off the Neuroi for some time, they both get picked off by a squad of witches. Satisfied with my work I pick up the gun and bring it back to the Unit holder. I find a nice spot to sit down and relax. Away from anyone. Later in the evening we reach port, we docked in Orussia in a town called Novo-Kholmogory. I leave my hiding spot and startle two sailors passing by. Smiling and continuing on my way I get off the ship to see the rest of the 502nd standing on the pier. I walk over to them waving.

Ashley - ' Hello, I think I'm a little late. I was supposed to meet someone at the airfield earlier today. '

Commander Rall turns to me. She slowly examines me.

Rall - ' Who are you? '

Ashley - ' Ah right, there was no picture of me in the transfer papers. Im Ashley O'Neil a new member of the 502nd nice to meet you. '

Rall - ' You were supposed to be here early afternoon. '

Theres a hint on anger in her voice.

Ashley - ' Well, I had to help the fleet as I was passing by. I couldn't sit around and do nothing. '

Rall - ' So it would seem. Bring your stuff over to the vehicle near by. '

I salute her then pick up my stuff and walk over in the direction she pointed. Looking for the car. I eventually find it and load all my luggage inside. I wait by the car until Commander Rall shows up. I wonder what Minna said about me, I know they exchange letter alot, could she be a love rival. I don't care if she a higher rank. Minna is Mine!

Rall - ' She was right you do make interesting face when you're left alone. I wonder what you were thinking about? '

My face instantly burns in embarrassment why would she do that, that smile on her face thays the same one Hartmann has when she want to brush off some of her chores on me. Why did I want to come to the 502nd again? I hope she doesn't know about the maid outfit, I'll only do thay for Minna, maybe Eila if Sanya joins me. Hopefully I get along with everyone, Im sure im going to have to help with paper work and such. Minna I wonder whay your doing right now. I miss you already.
