Hashirajima.

Everyone was having breakfast on the terrace. Choukai had just arrived but Kotono, Atla and Musashi had managed to change and fix the wreckage.

Now they were all on the terrace.

"Sevastopol." Haruna thought seriously "Crossing the Black Sea will be a challenge. Chihaya Gunzou." Iona looked at her captain "According to High Flagship Yamato has said. It means that the patrols from Spain, France, Italy are now under command of Bismarck and part of the Scarlet Fleet."

"They are protecting the road that leads to Sevastopol." Gunzou thought seriously "..." Atla looked serious "I can't abuse my authority nor Yamato's to ask the fleet there to let I-401 pass. It will be a perfect excuse to turn the majority of the Fleet of Fog against me or Yamato. We need her to maintain her status as High Flagship of the Fleet of Fog."

Yamato nodded agreeing "Unfortunately, Atla is right." Everyone was unsure but Takao raised her hand "Me and Hyuuga could escort and support Gunzou Chihaya and I-401. We are no longer part of the Fleet so we could help without involving Yamato or the other super battleships."

"I could too." Keel stood up "I'm the only super battleship that could help without a problem I-401." Atla denied that "I wish but unfortunately.... You are now on Tate Kiri No Kantai. Everyone knows of your affiliation with my fleet may give unnecessary trouble and could provoke clashes within the fleet or against me."

Keel lowered her head "You're right." Yamato looked at everyone "She wanted to see our possibility. She would never think of us attacking her because of that..... I think it's a good time.... To change, the Fleet of Fog is changing at a rapid pace. We don't know who is and who is not our enemy."

".,." They were all silent. They knew that Yamato was right. Atla smiled as she looked at Kotono "You've made up your mind, Kotono." She smiled with her head "Yes, I already had my decision. We will help Gunzou."

"..." Shinano just let out a sigh "..... When Kotono has already made up her mind there's no turning back." Atla activated a screen to Akashi "How is Musashi's hull reconstruction going?"

Akashi looked at her as the hull of the super battleship was seen being repaired "I'm going as fast as I can. I still have to repair 27% hull and install new processors for the Mirror Ring System."

Atla looked at Shokaku "And the I-401's hull?" The carrier mental model fiddled with the handheld console "It's in final preparations. In a moment or two minutes it should be able to set sail and ready without any problem."

"Good job, Shokaku." She replied calmly as Yamato stood up "And since Kotono has made her own choice. It's time to reorganize the fleet." She activated her Comm Link to all present as well. "To the fleet anchored to Hashirajima. Here are the new orders. We will begin our campaign to find the Admiralty Code at Sevastopol. At that time reorganize the fleet.

"The Kaga fleet consisting of the assault and suppression carriers Akagi and Taihou. They will converge and form part of Tate Kiri no Kantai. Battleships Hiei, Mutsu and heavy cruisers Nachi, Ashigara, Myokou, Haguro will also form part of the Atla fleet. I-400 at this time will be part of their fleet with I-200 I-202."

Days passed while the fleet was being organized. Tate Kiri no Kantai was now more massive than before. Atla unfolded his HUD revealing his roster.
