Musashi slowly opens her eyes, as she tries to recognize her surrounding, she was in her bed chamber's She tried to get-up from her bed, but most of her body ache from unknown reasons. "Wa-What... happened?"

Then she remembers how she lost conscious, as Lucas push her out of the way of an unknown attack that came Observer's Plasma Cannon.

One of the Shipgirls yelled to inform everyone about her. "Everyone! Lady Musashi is awake!"

Everyone rushed inside the room to check if their leader or Flagship is alright. One of them is the Bunny sisters, Hiryuu and Souryuu.

"Thank God, you're alright Lady Musashi..." Souryuu said, as she and her sister Hiryuu bows.

"Tell me what happened when I passed-out?" Musashi asks the two bunny sisters.

Souryuu and Hiryuu quickly glanced at each other and nods. Souryuu then reports to her. "When you were passed-out. Azur Lane releases a transmission to every Shipgirls to retreat or evacuate the area."

"And the Sirens...?"

"They have been defeated by Azur Lane Main Force."

"I see...."

"Umm.... They also defeated an Arbiter." Hiryuu added.

Musashi quickly glanced at her with widen eye, she asked only one question. "Who-Who, did it?"

Souryuu is the one who reply to her question. "It was Enterprise, Ma'am."

"Enterprise?" Musashi said her name in whispering voice almost humming, as she held her chin.

"No, not the Enterprise that belongs to Eagle Union. The other one that owned the Jet Aircraft, according to Takao. She saw how she handle Arbiter with ease, as she reigns the sky.... But.

"But, what?"

"But, because of Akagi interference Arbiter manage to hit Enterprise at one of her riggings. Takao said only one flight deck rigging is damage of the six and she have."

'She manage to stay afloat after receiving substantial damage. Is she equipped with advance repair units?' Musashi thought.

"Where is Akagi now?" Musashi asks the two bunnies.

Hiryuu and Souryuu are both hesitant at first, but Hiryuu is the first to answers. "She was captured and now in the hands of Modern Kansen at the area."

"Takao hand over Akagi at the hands Modern Kansens, she was alone at that area and have few remaining ammo and fuel left. That's why she handed her over and retreat." Souryuu said.

Musashi change the topic and asked about the Empire. "What about the Empire's situation?"

"The remaining Docks and Repair Yards were also targeted and now we're only in half of the capacity. Fuel are low, Ammunition stock are depleted and factories all over the Empire is been targeted." Hiryuu reported.

"The first attack was centered around the Capital. The next wave was focused all around the Empire. All of our fighter interceptor could not reach their height ceiling; all we can do is to watch, as the bomb falls into its intended targets."
