Location: East China Sea
The aircraft carrier ZF Motif and its carrier strike group are conducting a maritime patrol with a heavy cruiser fleet from Darkhaven after leaving the Okinawa base and they are aware that the battleship Nihon is lurking around the area. One of the Darkhaven's expeditonary strike groups is conducting an exercise with the U-2000 nearby. Several Ships from both PMCs are watching the Nihon's movements to determine its paths. The battleship is escorted by 2 destroyers and a cruiser, which would be easy for the two PMCs to infiltrate it. The ZF Victory's fire support group is also present in the area to hunt for the Nihon. Capt. Peterson and Gabriel are talking about the battle plan to capture the Crimson Moths's flagship.
Capt. Peterson: We already have the plans for the enemy flagship, all we need to do is to execute those.
Gabriel: I agree. Have you seen the Nihon?
Capt. Peterson: It's 170km north according to our radars.
Gabriel: If we hit that battleship, it's game over for the Crimson Moths.
Gabriel calls Jaime about the presence of the Nihon and both of them also call Georg to stay alert. Georg is still commanding the U-2000 and he listens to Gabriel and Lorenzo for the battle plans. Georg's submarine has broken off from Darkhaven's fleet and went on its own to guard the Nihon's movement even more. The fleets are all preparing to put a nail on the Crimson Moth's maritime force's coffin.
On the other side:
The battleship Nihon is sailing with its fleet and spots the Victory fire support group. The Crimson Moth's battleship fires some 18" salvos at the ZF Victory and misses the target, then Zaphnath Force's battleship also fires some 16" salvos and also misses. After that, the Victory fire support group calls the Motif carrier strike group to deal with the Nihon-class battleship. The ZF Motif has launched two JAS-39Ns, equipped with Sudarshan bombs, and head to the Nihon to drop the bombs. One of the fighter jets have dropped a bomb at the battleship's third turret and blows it up, then the other fighter jet has dropped it at the ship's center. This resulted to some damages on the battleship and Georg fires a torpedo at one of its propellers, losing some of its power to propel. John Alex and and his wingman, who are flying Mirage F1s, have joined the hunt and drop some JDAMs at the Crimson Moths's battleship. This has crippled the battleship Nihon.
John: We crippled them
Gabriel: Good job, John!
John: Thanks, my friend.
The Japanese battleship is begging for mercy, being surrounded by its own enemies and soon to be captured. A Brahmos missile hits the battleship's bridge and killed some of the crew onboard it, including Sakura Udaachi. The battleship is defenseless against the missiles while the destroyers' radars are jammed by the Gripen N that is flown by Joey Alefounder. Capt. Peterson calls Georg Islaven that we are ready to capture the Nihon.
Capt. Peterson: Everything is ready, we'll just send some Sea Hawks to take the battleship.
Georg: Alright, tell me once it's done.
Capt. Peterson: Alright, we'll tell you once it's done. We'll do the best thing we can do.
The ZF Sunrise has launched some TBF six Avengers and the Darkhaven's LHD launches four AV-8D Harriers to attack the crippled battleship. Four MH-60Rs have taken off from the ZF Motif and head to the Nihon to have it captured, the same goes from the Darkhaven's LHD, which launched three MH-60Rs. Once the choppers landed, the infantries of both PMCs have fought some of the remaining crew members and managed to capture the Nihon.
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Hiro went to visit his team in Taipei to see their operations then suddenly, a news that the Nihon was captured has reached Hiro, which made him angry. The messenger is afraid that Hiro will throw his outbursts on him for the failure of his men to defend themselves. Hiro pulls a revolver and kills the messenger and some of his men as a response to his flagship's capture. This would make the Crimson Moths's navy less effective as more ships were sunk and two of their capital ships were captured.
