Note: I don't own the intro above, Replace the chapter title and number with the story chapter.

Over the past few days since Hood was critically injured by Bismarck. Josh refused to leave his wife's side while she tries to recover. Upon seeing the state of her health, Tirpitz clenches her fist in anger.

Tirpitz: (in german) Du'bist zu weit gekommen, Bismarck...

She leaves the medical centre to find Mainz and the other Iron Blood ships (the defectors) to discuss something rather important.

Garf Zeppelin: Wait. You want to disown the KMS brand? But why?

Tirpitz: Bismarck is leading the Iron Blood to destruction. And it's only temporary.

Nürnberg: but having the KMS brand is a symbol of Iron Blood.

Tirpitz: I know. (Looks out to the ocean) as Bismarck lives, she's no longer my sister...

Köln: is that because of Hood?

Tirpitz didn't say anything but something wasn't normal for her as Mainz notices something strange. Down the side of Tirpitz's cheek was something unexpected, for the first time since Josh chose her as his first secretary. She was crying and was confused.

Tirpitz: Hood is more than a friend. She was more like a sister to me, girls.

Then Tirpitz realised something that she just said and heads to see Queen Elizabeth.

Royal navy Gardens

Belfast was surprised to see Tirpitz as she was heading to the throne room. She asked her why she was heading to see the leader of the royal navy and was surprised to hear that Tirpitz wanted to be a temporary member of the Royal Navy to eliminate her own sister or rather former sister.

Upon hearing that she wanted to be a temporary member of the Royal Navy. Queen Elizabeth, Warspite, Wales and QM2's sister were surprised as well. They decided to have a private chat.

QE: what do you two think about Tirpitz being a temporary member of the Royal navy?

HMS King George V
Naval ship: Battleship
Camp: Royal Navy
Faction: Azur Lane

KGV: she'll be a good ally to have if Josh decides to hunt Bismarck.

QE: what about you, Warspite?

Warspite: I trust your judgement, Your highness.

QE: (calls out to the head maid) Bel!

Belfast: (enters the throne room) Yes your Majesty?

QE: bring Tirpitz back to the throne room.

Belfast: (bows) understood.

She heads back to the hallway where Tirpitz was waiting patiently and was brought before the Queen. Belfast reminded Tirpitz to kneel on one knee and has done so

QE: I'm guessing that you want to join the Royal navy as for taking out Bismarck, correct?

Tirpitz: yes, your majesty. (Downstaught) I can't stand to see Josh upset if Hood passes away.

QE: that's understandable. She has been a sister to you, wasn't she?

Tirpitz: since the combined exercises.

QE: (stands up from her throne) then by the power infested in me. Tirpitz, You and the defectors of Iron Blood will be one of Azur Lane's elite fleets.

And with that Tirpitz, Mainz, Garf Zeppelin, Köln, Karlsrhue and Ulrich Von Hutten temporary disowned the KMS brand and replaced it with the HMS brand until Bismarck has been eliminated.
