Commander Sakura is tired of buying stuff from the greedy Akashi and find ways to get the supplies cheaper which she found a Liberty-Class ship which is USS E.A. Poe a supply kansen with a shop called Pit and the Pendulum. What is her reaction of se...
Poe was invited over to the Sakura Empire after the faction decide to hold a event for something, but they don't know what it's all about, but it is business opportunity for Poe to get his shop on the spotlight. Poe and Roon head to the Sakura Island where the event is been held and see that everyone from all over the world are here.
Poe: "Looks like the place will be busy today."
Roon: "Sure and I hear that there is a competition against other factions. I'm going to join and get that prize."
Roon is right; there is a tournament going on for kansens fighting against each other, but Poe can't enter the tournament due to his no engine so he put his faith on Roon.
Poe: "Roon; good luck out there."
Roon smile before heading out to join the tournament and Akashi isn't with him because she is a member of the Sakura Empire and part of the event so it's only Poe watching over his secondary shop. There are a couple of customers arrive at his store, but so far it's been quiet since they're looking forward of the tournament. He's about to head out until he was stop by Ghostwolf who enter the building.
Ghostwolf: "Slow day?"
Poe: "You know it so I was about to head out and see the tournament."
They both head out to where everyone is watching the TV where they can see the tournament and see that it's Iron Blood vs Eagle Union which USS Gettysburg is on the screen along with KMS Nijmegen which looks intense since everyone is staying away from them.
Poe: "Looks like the girls are fighting."
They can see Roon and Prinz Eugen fighting against USS Enterprise and USS Hornet while their flagships are fighting against each other which is KMS Bismarck and USS New Jersey; however the main attraction is USS Gettysburg and KMS Nijmegen firing their special abilities against each other that looks like fire and ice hitting each other.
Poe: "Good thing their on our side; otherwise the world would be destroyed."
Ghostwolf: "I agree."
Looks like the fight is fierce and looks like the Eagle Union is on the defense while Iron Blood continue firing their shells right at them and things are getting intense when water start to boil and the water is starting to freeze which is covering the entire arena which cause the fight to stop and the girls stand back away from the fight between the two boys that are going at each other throats.
Poe: "Things are getting interesting right now."
Ghostwolf: "More like trouble is getting out of control."
Everyone can hear the time limit go off and the match is set with Iron Blood victory because they did the much damage against Eagle Union, but it was a close match and they don't want to make things worst of getting someone killed. Roon and Prinz Eugen exit the arena before heading to their lovers who watch the performance.
Roon(happy): "How you like it?"
Poe: "I was hoping for a bloodlust, but good job."
This make Roon happy and Prinz Eugen is getting pamper like crazy from Ghostwolf. Everyone disperse and ready for the next one which is Sakura Empire and Royal Navy which USS Gettysburg is getting ready to cheer the Sakura Empire because Akagi is leading the fleet, but Poe won't be bother with this since he already saw the tournament with Roon and continue working on the shop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Skip Pit and the Pendulum, San Diego
It was a crazy time in the Sakura Empire with the Sirens attack and strange wisdom cube, but lucky that no one got hurt during the incident and everyone went home after the tournament has ended with Iron Blood winning the match with Roon and Prinz Eugen as top notch fighters. Roon put her trophy up in her room before heading downstairs to help Poe since Akashi has now pay her debt and went back to her homeland.
Poe: "Is a shame that Akashi have left, but it's good to not to worry about hearing that nya all the time."
Roon(thought): "At last; I was able to spend time with darling all to myself for once."
Roon is about to give Poe a hug until a door open to reveal Z23 who request Roon to come with her to Iron Blood capital because Bismarck request her presence which angers Roon, but decide to give up and follow Z23.
Roon(happy): "Don't you worry Poe; I'm going to finish things off quick and come right back."
Poe: "Looking forward."
Roon left and Poe decide to continue his normal activity which is writing a puzzle and listen to music on the radio while Pluto is laying on his lap and the ravens is sitting on the bench cawing. The radio is starting the music until someone coming in with tentacles coming out of the door.
Poe: "Welcome to Pit and the Pendulum.... Mary Celeste."
There was a tentacles coming out of the door and a woman who is a member of the Tempesta walking through the door which her name is Mary Celeste or known to Azur Lane "Ghost Ship"
Mary: "It's been to long Poe; I saw Roon passing by and see what you up too."

Poe: "Just your average day in the office and I surprise you found me."
Mary: "After I rescue you from the Siren and see that you and Roon are a thing now."
Poe: "You can say that after how much we spend together..... And also curse me as well."
Mary: "You mean the "Red Death". Yes; that's what you get for betraying me and now you stuck here for entire life and did you promise the wisdom cube."
Poe: "It's downstairs and I have to lie to Azur Lane to protect the wisdom cube."
Mary smile and head downstairs to fetch the golden wisdom cube before heading back up.
Mary(happy): "To think that we create this together."
Poe: "If you're done than you can leave."
Mary smile and left the shop with the wisdom cube, but warn him before she leave.
Mary(happy): "Don't worry; I'll be back what's mine."
Mary close the door and Poe is starting to get worry.
