[TIME SKIP: an hour]

3rd POV:

it was 6:45 pm. Wales was in her office looking out the window, observing the night sky as it turned from cloudy into a large storm

Wales: "hmm" {the weather is looking rough, rougher than when we rescued cane...}

Illustrious: "are you worried?"

Wales then turns towards the door to see illustrious coming in.

Wales: "I am in charge of this base until texas comes back, how can I not be worried?"

suddenly the doors to her office burst open revealing a worried Cleveland

Hammann: "Wales!"

Wales: "yes?"

Cleveland: "we've received a distress message from some dragon empery destroyers!"

Wales: "w-what!? where are they!?"

Cleveland: "in the Atlantic, near an.. ironblood base"

Wales: "of course it had happened now of all times.... Gather them and bring them here!"

Cleveland: "w-who?"

Wales: "1st fleet, the admiral, and your other superiors! Quickly, time is of the essence!"

Cleveland then ran out, leaving Wales and illustrious to contemplate their rescue plan. Soon, everyone came into Wales's office, everyone except two.

In the maze like hallways of the base's dorms, simbirsk was running around the dorms trying to find cane's room. After finding what he was looking for, he abruptly burst through the door to try his best to wake cane up. To his surprised however, cane was already awake and seemed to have somehow not noticed him busting through the door.

Cane himself looked like he had just saw a ghost. The distant stare, the pale face, the tear marks, he looked terrified.

Simbirsk: "s-sir, are you-? W-we have an emergency!"

Cane: "ah! y-yeah sorry, I'll be... right out...." {... what... was that.. dream?... }

after cane changes into a new clothes, they both make their way to Wales's office where the admiral, Wales and 3 more ships were waiting.

Hammann: "W-what's going on?!"

Andy: "good, your finally here!"

Wales: "where is everyone else?"

Cleveland: "cane's fleet is still out cleaning up some sirens down south and the royals are asleep. I couldn't find any of the maid core other than Belfast. But she's on Enterprise duty today"

Cane: "alright alright, so what's the jist"

Andy: "another rescue mission. this time it's near an enemy base. Couple destroyers. Don't know their numbers or condition, but their alive"

Wales: "we thought you to currently be the best candidate to help carry out this mission"

Cane then stared in utter plain faced disbelief at the 2, contemplating on how a young potential prodigy and an admiral with almost 30 years of experience, came up with such a... Unique plan.

Cane: {10 years of navy school......10... Years...} "... Ok... There's probably a reason why you want the half sunken ship to set sail so I'll ask, why?"
