The Calm Eagle and The White Rabbit

Chapter 5

Hornet and Northampton: HIRYUU!!!

and then they summoned there riggings to check if Hiryuu is okay

Hiryuu: I'm fine it's just an scratch Northampton escort Hornet and head to Enterprise's position for safety and so Hornet could be escorted for repairs 

Hornet: What about you?!

Hiryuu: It seems the Japanese already found out me alive an helping you guys leave me here I'll buy some time 

Hornet: But-

and then they could hear Japanese planes in the distance

Hiryuu: GO!

Hornet: We'll come back for you so stay alive

and then Hornet and the others left leaving Hiryuu chucking after she heard Hornet's words

Hiryuu: If I'm still alive

and then she send her planes to engage the incoming Japanese planes 

As the dogfight continues Hiryuu saw the Shipgirls that was sending Japanese planes

It Was Shoukaku

Shoukaku: So you're Alive

Hiryuu: They spared my life so I help them

Shoukaku: I see so you a traitor to the Empire then?

Hiryuu: I guess

Shoukaku: I see *sends more planes* As an traitor to the empire you will sink here 

and in response Hiryuu sent more planes

As planes were being destroyed and falling in the sky some of Hiryuu's Planes manage to damage Shoukaku's Fight deck and Hull while Shoukaku's Planes manage to Damage Hiryuu's Flight deck, Hull and Rudder causing her to slow down

but Shoukaku managed to send 5 more planes to finish Hiryuu off 

But before Shoukaku's planes could drop there payload 5 American planes intercepted them and Shoukaku and Hiryuu looked at the direction where the planes where sent

It Was Enterprise and the other shipgirls saving Hiryuu

As Shoukaku saw this she retreated and while Hiryuu passed out due to the damage she received

Thus The Conclusion of the Battle of the Santa Cruz was an loss for Azur lane but even so they were relieved that no shipgirls were sank or killed just damaged

Even the Crimson Axis won many were heavily injured 

The Day after the Battle

Azur Lane Infirmary

We could see Hiryuu talking to Yorktown after she woke up and were laughing until A. Nimitz came and before they could salute

A. Nimitz: At ease ladies and by the way Ms. Hiryuu The Eagle Union Thank you for saving one of our carriers and because of this Hornet was now currently alive and her ship is being retrofitted for better Aircraft and AA

Hiryuu: Your welcome Admiral

A. Nimitz: And by the way the higher ups proposed something for your ship *gives an Folder titled CV-10 to Hiryuu* Tell it to Yorktown about your decision

and then A. Nimitz left and Hiryuu opens the file and was a little bit shocked and so Yorktown looked at the file too

It was about Hiryuu's ship, It will Changed entirely to put the Essex-Class ship armaments and planes 

Hiryuu: This is an-

Yorktown: Big offer

Hiryuu: Yeah but Should I accept it or-

Yorktown: Well its your decision so~

and then Hiryuu thinks about this for a minute and decide and then spoke

Hiryuu: We'll if this will make me not to get killed again then I'll Accept

and then Yorktown smiled and head to the A. Nimitz to give Hiryuu's decision
