Sakura Temple, Sakura Empire

June 14, 1942

11:30 AM

Musashi opens her eyes as she finished her prayer, her feeling of dread dissipated as her motivation renewed. She stands up and turns around to meet the eyes of the other Shipgirls in the temple, she then gave a motivational speech.

"Fellow warriors of Sakura Empire. Today we are faced a huge task of protecting the Empire. Azur Lane attacked us a moment ago, after the declaration of war. Because of our carelessness our Military Bases and Supply Lines were attacked.... But this time we will face them in our own waters with our own determination of winning! Sakura Empire will live and prevails. We are blessed by our ancestors of courage and fate. Fate that we will rise on top." She paused a bit to looks at their reaction.

Everyone is silent as they all listens to her motivational speech.

"Today we will face them, because we are the warriors and protectors of Sakura Empire. The Gods and Goddesses of the Empire is with us in this battle."

The Sakura Empires Shipgirls cheers to the Motivational speech that their Flagship had made.

"Everyone to your Battle stations.... Let's meet our foes it the battlefield." She waves her hand forward.

"HAHAHA. Finally, I can use my newly repaired Katana. So now I can slash that bunny in half. HAHAHA." Hakuryuu proudly remarks.

The poor Swordsmith works day and night to repair Hakuryuu's Kanata. The Katana that the Shipgirls uses is made up stronger metal that was used for Battleship armor, it is hard to forges it without the help of heavy machinery.

That Swordsmith finished the Katana in time as he was visited by hers, in daily bases. This got to the point the passing Local got suspicion about the two.

Takao whispers under her breath. "This time I'm going to defeat you in this battle, Lucas."

Atago's dog ears twitch as she hears her sister murmurs. "Ara~Ara. Your sill thinking that man, even in this peculiar situation."

"W-What?" Takao exclaims, Atago then then hugs her from behind. "Atago get serious well you. We are in a crisis right now!"

Atago let go Takao from her hug. "okay, Ma'am...."

"Finally I can face 'Grey Ghosto' again." Zuikaku exclaims, she missed the Battle of Midway because of her and her sister sudden deployment in the South Pacific to monitor the Siren activities.

"Don't get cocky this time.... Our opponent is stronger than us." Shoukaku warms Zuikaku the danger of the Modern Kansens.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." Zuikaku reassures her sister, she wouldn't face-off a Modern Kansen.
