What if During the Battle of Santa Cruz, Hornet's ship was towed by the Sakura Empire shipgirls back to Mainland Japan so they could improve the AA guns of there own ships and so they could also deploy Medium Range Bombers from there Aircraft Carrie...
As the AA guns hit Enterprise's position, within a blink of an eye Suzumebachi wasn't standing at the iceberg anymore, instead this happens:

Akagi: SUZUMEBACHI!!!!!
Zuikaku: Impossible no one ever got close to injuring her but how?!
As Suzumebachi crashed onto another iceberg, she noticed that a hole was created close to her spinal cord with huge amount of blood coming out and her mask getting destroyed with her coughing blood aswell
Suzumebachi: Aw man *coughs a lot of blood* this is bad
and then the thread wire trap that Suzumebachi made started to disappear, along with the AA guns with Enterprise Appearing on where Suzumebachi is earlier with her eyes not gold anymore and started at her with horror
Enterprise: H-Hornet?
and then Suzumebachi saw Akagi heading to her direction with Ayanami pulling her out of he iceberg and laying her down safely
Akagi: Suzumebachi, you're going to be fine, we'll get you out of here-
Suzumebachi: No
Akagi: What do you mean no?!
Suzumebachi: I'll be the reason you'll get all captured, Akagi all of you leave I'll hold them off
Akagi: Nonononono there has to be another way !!!
Suzumebachi: There isn't any other way Akagi, this is my final order, GO!
Akagi: No I won't-
As Akagi was about to convince her again, Ayanami knocks her out and pulls her away to where Zuikaku is and they left the area to make the whole fleet retreat away from the Azur Lane Fleet with Suzumebachi silently thanking Ayanami
Suzumebachi: Ha... So this it it huh *Strings appeared in one of her hands* then lets make it my last performance then
and then she pulls the strings causing puppets with bombs stick at the iceberg where Enterprise is and they started to explode one by one with the iceberg starting to fall into the water, with Enterprise managing to escape by boarding one of her planes to headed to here
As Suzumebachi closes her eyes as the huge iceberg part is going to hit her, she suddenly saw Ayanami pulling her away from the area
Suzumebachi: Ayanami?
Ayanami: I don't know if I do the right thing Ms. Suzumebachi, I gave Akagi to Zuikaku and tell her to leave to safety and headed back here in hopes to still save you
Suzumebachi: *Sighs and coughs little blood* Ayanami, you've finally made a decision without no one commanding you, I know you can do it, but you did it in a really bad time
Ayanami: Forgive me Lady Suzumebachi, It's just I can't see the way Lady Akagi cry for you I can't stand it so
