--What has Changed--

It has been weeks since the Royal Navy set off to sink or capture the Polonian Fleet. When the Royal Navy got closer to Denmark Błyskawica caught up to them and Surrendered herself, after that the Task Force with the Grom class destroyer returned to the Royal Isles where she was given back to the First Lech Republic navy and a maintenance team was sent to the Isles from the country.

While Błyskawica was still sailing to meet up with the Royal Navy, Grom was slowly approaching the now Burning naval Base in Gdańsk, Serviceman, Civilian Workers and Firefighters were fighting the fires, thankfully due to the preparations the only thing that was at risk was the buildings since all of the dangerous stuff was evacuated to special bunkers before Wicher set off to meet her fate. Seeing her countryman struggle to contain the fires Grom changed into her Rigging and got closer to the land than her ship would allow. After that, a Massive water fountain appeared that quelled the fire, because Grom used her rigging it allowed her to shoot a torpedo in such a way that would be impossible for a ship and allowed her to precisely detonate it to create enough force to push the water onto the fire while not damaging the port.

And Lastly, there was Burza, the last of the Wicher class that was a modified Iris Borrasque-Class destroyer although the two Kansen didn't bear many similarities to the Iris ships before. Burza was currently in the docks of Gdynia, flying a different flag than before, instead of flying the flag of the Polonian Territories, or the Lech Republic, all the flags at the base were slightly modified Polonian Republic ones, with only the White Crowned Eagle removed and half of the flag being painted white the flags flew with the bottom coloured Red and the top White. The flags fluttered in the air as a gust of wind moved them, But it wasn't just the wind that was felt as cannon fire and explosions were also heard. "Where exactly are they now" Burza asked thru the radio back to port as they had information about the fight "If you continue forward you should see them in a while" the man said, the reason that Burza was intervening was that an Iron Blood ship picked a fight with a Northern Parliament one in the Civilian fishing waters of Gdynia even if they were away from any buildings and civilization they were still close enough to the shore for them to be violating the rules of the sea.

--Battle's that Changed Everything--

Another salvo could be heard as a girl with a hammerhead-shark design fired using her rigging, in response, a girl wearing clearly too big winter clothing dodged the attack all the while fishermen were watching the fight unfold, none the wiser of the danger. "Tsk" Burza let out in annoyance as he saw the two Destroyer fighting. "You stand no chance Against me Kiev for I am one and only Friedrich Eckoldt" Z16 said as she fired a spread of torpedoes at the other Kansen, Kiev didn't answer as she was too busy dodging the attacks while trying to attack herself. But as the battle was getting fiercer with more indiscriminate fire landing close to the civilians, a figure emerged and entered the battlefield. Clad in shining armour pieces that protected the head and the chest and a red uniform that was only different in colour from what the Polonian 'Podhale Rifles' wore, on his sides a rigging with 3 Torpedoe tubes on the left attached and hanging from the rigging and on the right one gun also attached to the rigging on what looked like a platform while a second 13cm gun was attached to the wrist, the man walked with as two Funnels extended from his back as if to imitate wings and a Flag-pole that was also a lance in the same hand as the 13cm gun. "Cease Fire in these waters now" Burza said to the two as even though he was a destroyer Kansen he was taller than them and looked closer to a Cruiser Kansen "Or what?" Z16 said as the two duelling kansen stopped fighting and looked at the Polonian. "if you wish to know what will happen if you don't leave then so be it" Bruza said as he lowered his lance as if ready to charge and his rigging aimed at the two destroyers. "Like you have any authority here" Z16 said as she charged at Kiev and continued their fight. Burza only sighed in annoyance as he got closer to the two "You want to be beaten too" Z16 said before Burza picked her up by sticking his lance between her rigging and threw her away towards the open waters. Kiev seemingly with a death wish herself decided to attack Burza and so she also was thrown in the same direction as Z16 "Oi, what do you think you are doing huh? Aren't you supposed to be neutral or something?" Z16 asked not understanding what she had done wrong "You want to start a war or something Burza? If that's what you wish I heard Königsberg wanted to meet ya" Z16 said while Kiev took the opportunity and retreated to inform her leaders on how to proceed "All I did was just move you out of my waters, It's not like I hurt the oh so great Friedrich Eckoldt with my simple throw?" Burza asked with a tone of sarcasm in his voice "Tsk, I'll show you" Z16 said but before she got closer to the Polonain destroyer she received a radio call and instead retreated with an annoyed look. "Another day another problem" Burza sighed as he also started to move back to his base
