U-47's POV:

Chasing U-556 down, I don't realize that I'm traveling too fast until it's too late. As we both burst out from the water, I barely catch glimpses of the surprised faces of the Royal Navy girls around us before we crash back into the water. We'd missed Bismark who's likely still sinking downwards but what's worst, I've been separated from my gear.

Nelson: No mercy.

I know we're enemies but the looks on their faces truly scare me. They're going to kill us and as my sister and I sit there hugging each other tightly, there's nothing we can do. Closing my eyes, I silently call for anyone to save us.

As they do, the sky goes black until it's as dark as nighttime with the only light coming from all the girls still on the battlefield. The Royal Navy girls struggle against whatever's holding home back but the more they struggle the slower they seemingly get until they all come to a halt.

August: My turn.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM x12

Each salvo blasts its targets away from us with truly terrifying speeds. In my arms, U-556 buries her face into my chest, terrified and I myself am frozen in place and unable to do anything but hold on to my sister for dear life as mother's guns open up. I wasn't even aware she had main guns. I thought she was a carrier...
