Azur Lane: Ship of Fate, Unsinkable Bulolo

Operation: Sakai (Part 2)

Far from any shore, the Azur Lane fleet of "Operation Sakai" were steaming their way south towards their objective of Iwo Jima. To say the voyage was quiet was no more than far from the truth, because it wasn't. Due to being humbled by her assignment to the 2nd Relief Fleet, Queen Elizabeth was kicking a royal fuss over it but whenever Bulolo looked at her, knowing she still had the advantage of blackmail, the Royal Navy leader went silent. It kinda also didn't help it was annoying everyone else.

QE: Me, the great Queen Elizabeth of Royal Navy should never have been told what to do! I am a leader!

Thunderchild: Your Majesty, could you please be quiet? I think everyone doesn't want to hear your complaining.

Jervis Bay: You want some tea and biscuits to go with that whine?!

Hammann: Shut up before I seal that yapper of yours with duct tape!

Bulolo: (Just looks at Queen Elizabeth)

QE: (Shuts up)

Shigure (AL): What's up with Queen Elizabeth?

Ayanami (AL): Probably just belly aching over being sent here. She is the head of Royal Navy, after all.

Shigure (AL): I see. Also, seeing Bulolo just look at her and she just becomes quiet. It's like she knows something we don't. Maybe...?

Ayanami (AL): I don't think so, my lovely Shigure (AL).I doubt Her Majesty is one of us.

While everyone was focused, no one noticed that aboard Kongou's (AL) ship, they had a stowaway from Hiroshima. Kisaragi (KC), who's eldest sister Mutsuki (KC) was assigned under Bulolo's command for this mission, had snuck aboard during the night as the shipgirls slept in a hope of finding her sister before they left, but she overslept and by the time she woke up, the Azur Lane were already out at sea without her realising. Knowing it was too dangerous to return back, she decided to say hidden. 

Kisaragi (KC): I've got to keep out of sight.

Cooper: (As aboard Kongou's (AL) ship when he hears) Is someone there?

Kisaragi (KC): Oh no. (Runs off)

Cooper: Hello? Anyone? (Sighs) Must be the wind. (Walks off)

Kisaragi (KC): (Sighs in relief)

In the war room aboard Bulolo's ship, the local girls and the major players including Bulldog, U-110, the local girls and even Kaga (AL) were being briefed on the battle ahead. In front of them on the table was large map of an island.

Bulolo: Our target is here, Iwo Jima. From what local intel has gathered for us, the Abyssals have concentrated a large bulk of their force around the northern part of the island. If we could knock the northern flank out of commission, we'll prepare for bombardment going down both sides, funneling them towards Mount Suribachi.

Bulldog: What's the first step, Bulolo? It is quite an ambitious plan you've got there.

U-110: Ja. I've never seen such a complicated plan.

Bulolo: U-110, Bulldog. You'll be out ahead of us as scouts to report back for us. If it gets too dangerous for either you two, don't hesitate to pull back but don't return fire.

Bulldog: Understood.

Sendai (KC): What about us?

Kaga (AL): You six will be western flank with me. Bulolo will lead the eastern flank once we start our bombardment.

Jintsuu (KC): That sounds like quite the audacious plan.

Jervis Bay: Bulolo's a great strategist when it came to planning things. In our world, her strategies secured us victories against the Sirens every time.
