Hornet dodged the barrage of bullets from Zuikaku's Zero which had sharply dived. Just a moment ago, they were ambushed by the Fifth Carrier Division and now only Hornet were standing.
Hamman, one of the members of the Hornet fleet was lying in the sea while her eyes were rolling, Helena who was with them could only provide anti-air support fire.
Hornet tipped her hat and flew some of her B-25s and dropped the bombs at Zuikaku and Shoukaku. Zuikaku miraculously dodged multiple bombs from the Hornet's bombers and slashed one of them in half and exploded behind them.
Hornet : How the fuck is that working?
Zuikaku : You just need motivation, Union!
(I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!!!)
Zuikaku advances and slashes at Hornet, but Hornet protects herself with her miniature carrier deck, but the deck is already cracked and damaged from the initial attack. Zuikaku while screaming kicked the Hornet like a Spartan!
Zuikaku : This. Is. Sakura! (kicks the Hornet with all her might.)
Hornet: Wow!
Hornet was thrown backwards and rolled on the surface of the sea and groaned in pain. Zuikaku approached Hornet while positioning her Katana near the Hornet's neck, and Zuikaku said.
Zuikaku : Last words, Union?
Hornet chuckled.
Hornet : You should have killed me right away.
Zuikaku : huh?-
Zuikaku's head was hit by something flying fast sending her flying backwards.
Zuikaku: ahhh! Who is there?!
Nagato : Me!
Nagato arrived before Hornet with Wakizashi in her right hand and the CIWS Phalanx in her left arm. Zuikaku widened her eyes in disbelief at what she saw, but before she could finish speaking, all of Nagato's cannons let out smoke and dozens of AP shells almost hit Zuikaku, fortunately Zuikaku managed to dodge at the last second.
Zuikaku : L-Lady Nagato!-
Zuikaku was immediately showered with hot lead from Nagato's CIWS, hundreds of bullets that Nagato fired hit various bodies of Zuikaku, although Zuikaku managed to slash several. Zuikaku fell to her knees with her Katana as her support.
Nagato glared at Zuikaku with her burning golden eyes, and Zuikaku got goosebumps again when she recognized those eyes.
Zuikaku : L-Lady Nagato! why are you siding with them? You are part of us!
Zuikaku shouted desperately. Nagato only raised her eyebrows and kept her Wakizashi.
Nagato : Simple. I just don't want history to repeat itself. And besides.... The Empire isn't my place anymore, not after they dumped me just like that...
Zuikaku fell silent and put on a disbelieving face.
Zuikaku : What... Is that also the reason you disappeared all this time?! Siding with the Unions and leaving us under Lady Yamato's leadership?!
Okay, What the fuck? Nagato thought in confusion. What happened to her counterpart in this world? Nagato groaned, this would be troublesome.
Nagato : Zuikaku, your name is Zuikaku right?
Zuikaku nodded doubtfully with a grimace.
Nagato smiled widely and approached Zuikaku and hugged her. And Nagato whispered something in Zuikaku's ear which made her both surprised and confused.
