April 12,1942
Malacca Strait

The scene starts as two carriers belonging to the now defunct Austria-Hungary sail to their destination of choice

Tirol: Hey Öster

Österreich: Ja? (Yes?) What is it?

Tirol: After we pass the Malacca Strait im heading north to China

Österreich: Why? China is not a place of interest

Tirol: You know how much oil we've consumed right? Maybe we can resupply there?

Österreich: You might run out of oil before you go there, maybe go to the Philippine isles? Manila is a good place to resupply and maybe modernize your aircraft

Tirol: Alright, how about you? Are you changing directions as well?

Österreich: Yes, im heading to Java sea, and will change course to Hawaii

Tirol: Alright, hope the Americans wouldn't kill us

Österreich: Maybe we should disguise ourselves?

Tirol: How? We are like the only Aircraft Carrier in existence! It's near impossible to disguise ourselves as American dreadnoughts

Österreich: I guess we will have to hope that the Americans are merciful, surrender would be our only option because of how low on supplies we are, fighting those weird ass ships that looks like from his majesty's nightmares sure drained alot of our ammunition

Österreich looks at his deck

Österreich: And the damage we sustained, we cannot fight any further

Tirol: But what if they open fire immediately upon spotting us?

Österreich: Just ram your ship, and one last thing

Tirol: Which is?

Österreich: *Hand out Kolibri* If i die, this is the only thing keeping you from forgetting me

Tirol runs and hugs Österreich

Tirol: What makes you say that? I would never forget you!

Tears flow from Österreich's eyes as he begin to smile

Österreich: Danke Schön, Freund (Thank you, friend)

Tirol starts tearing up as well

Tirol: This is goodbye for now *sniff*

Tirol stops hugging Österreich and jumps from his deck to summon her ship, and immediately jumps on it as it slowly turns away from Österreich

Österreich: *wipes tear* May the seven seas be merciful. Vale (Farewell)

- Timeskip -

Two days have passed since the parting of the two Austro-Hungarian carriers. Österreich looks at his old uniform when he was in the German navy

Österreich: Hmm, should i change my uniform? Nah, im not Preußenland anymore, im my old self.... But maybe using the helmet would do, after all, it looks nice

Österreich grabs the pickelhaube, removes his hat and wears it

Österreich: Feels comfortable
