(Remaster) The Ship of the Tempest

Land of the Free...and Birds

"Look! Over there!"

A voice shouted out across the Docks, turning many pairs of eyes down the Canal and away from their preparations to leave Port. Soon, smiles grew on their faces as they watched the Legendary American Carrier sail back from the Open Ocean, completely free of injuries.

"Enterprise!" Her light purple eyes turned to the voice, seeing Warspite, long having recovered from her wounds, standing in the front with her sword ready. "You ran into Z73 didn't you?"

"I did. Me and Belfast both."

"And...where is she?"

Enterprise's expression fell a little, and she reached into the pocket of her jacket to pull out a Wisdom cube. "She had her cube ripped out to save me from being taken out instead."

Warspite's ear flattened, her eyes also sinking a little. "I see...and what of the battle itself?"

Enterprise then reached into another pocket, pulling out something that made many of the girl's eyes widen in shock. She had pulled out the infamous black mask that Z73 always wore, which had a large hole in it.

"I took her down."

...

Almost instantly, cheered erupted from the crowd, the joy present on everyone's face as the evidence truly spoke for itself. Warspite had a small smile as well, and Prince of Wales, who was standing alongside her elder sister as well as younger, couldn't contain the absolute joy and brought both into a hug, which was happily returned.

Enterprise continued in, jumping to to the Docks and completely dispelling her Rigging as someone pulled her into a hug out of nowhere. Her eyes took a brief tint of red, which she blinked away before anyone could notice.

Turns out, the little Carrier Unicorn was the one to hug her, her arms wrapped around her waist in a surprisingly tight hold for someone so small. All she did was pat her head, clearly uncomfortable with it, but not going to push the kid away from her.

"I do believe thanks are in order." She looked up to the approaching voice, seeing Elizabeth walking through the crowd with a smile. "Enterprise, how do you feel about being officially Knighted?"

"Ah...can I decline the gesture? I'm not sure how they'll take that back home."

Elizabeth sighed, her shoulders dropping. "Very well, I suppose it wouldn't do well to have that happen when you aren't apart of our forces. Unofficially, you can be Knighted under the Crown if you so desire."

"I'll take that to consideration." She managed to remove the little girl from around her waist, moving away from the crowd and towards the three King George sisters. "So when is my flight home?"

"Well, it can be now if you wish it too, but don't you want to stay for the celebration? You took down our personal Boogeyman after all."

"I never did well with parties, it'd be better if I return home now, especially with the Japanese getting more silent than before."

King George nodded to her answer, separating herself from her sisters. "Very well, that's a good point you bring up. I'll get it arranged, as well as take Belfast's cube off your hands. Won't do good to have your Maid stay inactive now would it?"

She passed over the cube, blinking as she realized what she said. "W-Wait, she's coming with me?"

"Of course she is. She's been assigned to you, and we do need some presence in the Pacific. Having her with you not only helps you, but helps us, don't you agree?"

Enterprise wanted to refute that, but couldn't come up with anything to say, and only sighed. "If you say so..."

Naturally, it didn't take long for everything to be set up and ready for her, and with only a few hours of thanks and gift giving from the British, Enterprise was soon on a Plane back home, back to Pearl Harbor, the center for the American Kansen forces. She was looking out a window to the waving British girls, giving them a small smile and a return wave as the plane took off.
