June 4, 1942

With Jason and Yorktown back, we blast forwards to the epicenter of the situation, where the Fox Sisters are at. All of the kansen (excluding Vestal, Enterprise, Yorktown, and the new girl) that were involved in this fight are all standing in a circle.

At this point, Enterprise wakes up and chooses violence, to which I knock her out again.

"Ladies! Yo!" I nab the attention of everyone with an unconscious Enterprise on my back and a patched hole right behind me. I'd have flooded if Enterprise's fat ass didn't plug the hole she caused.

"It seems the ceasefire was enacted! Wonderful! Now, can all the leaders, ship captains, and other high personnel please meet upon the hull of... let's choose Helena?"

Helena, surprised: "Wait, me?"

"Yeah. Uh, Jason, mind saying that in Japanese?"

As Jason was explaining my request, I climb aboard the Helena, leaving Enterprise on the PT and with Yorktown jumping on.

"Goddamn superhumans..."

On the deck, I turn around and notice the lady that was with Jason was also here.

"Hey, I never got your name, ma'am."

Lady: "I am USS Constitution, sir. And you are?"

"Ah, so you're another kansen. Nice. I am Lieutenant Commander Hernández Ray-Cruz. Most just call me Ray. Nice to meet you." I extend a hand.

Constitution, shaking my hand: "It is a pleasure to meet you too, Lieutenant Commander Ray-Cruz."

As I walk away from the Japanese fleet, I notice a few things about me.

First, I'm pulling a Jesus and am currently walking on water.

Second, my BWC is missing.

Third, I feel overall more powerful than I ever did.

All of these must be caused by the weird reaction of the BWC between both myself and Alpha.

Speaking of, where is the little gremlin child?

Also, why do I feel like I'm forgetting something...?

I jump backwards a few feet, avoiding a plasma strike. Oh, that's what I forgot.

"Well, I should've expected this." I feel a weight upon my back and, instinctively, go to grab it with my right hand. That trident I saw Howell with is now in my hands. Neat.

Purifier: "Hahahahahahahahaha! You're making this too fun, Jason!"

Yosuke: "We are going to fucking kill you, asshole."

Tester stayed silent before opening her mouth.

Tester: "Where is Alpha?"

"That... I actually don't know. Supposedly, her consciousness fused with mine, but I'm not sure."

Tester: "...I see." Her rigging manifests, her cannons pointed at me. "Let's end this."

"Wilco." I grab the trident near the head with my left and near the pommel with my right, holding it perpendicular to my body with the bladed head pointing behind me (I believe this stance is called "waki-gamae" or something).

Acting basically on instinct, I swipe out to dissipate the energy blast coming for me, before swiping again to block another. Channelling the BWC's power, I throw the trident, tracing it on Yosuke's position.

He quickly dodges before rushing at me on my left, Purifier doing the same on my right. Recalling the trident, I grab my sword in my left hand, using the energy from catching the trident to become a whirlwind of bladed death. Purple and blue harmonize in a hurricane of destruction, extending far beyond my bladed weapons, harming both Yosuke and Purifier, before jumping, spinning for a bit, and landing with my sword out, a Beam Cut harming Yosuke once more.
