"I'll have to side with New Jersey on this one. Sorry Kaga but I wish to settle down from fighting as well. I have seen many things and I guess it's time to end it off here. You do not need to pay me with the treasure so I wish you good luck in finding it. I wish you all the best." Kitakami answered.
"Very well then. As the one who hired you, I will honour your wish and let you go. New Jersey, I hope you're satisfied with the outcome." Kaga said.
"Thank you. And may the rest of you continue on to success. I'm sure you can all handle yourselves." New Jersey replied.
"Oh we will. I don't think we will run into any big problems with or without you." Enterprise assured.
"Well, it looks like it's time to say goodbye. Good luck and may we one day see each other again." The battleship bid her farewell.
"See ya." Kitakami said before she left.
"Woof." I-168 said her goodbye.
New Jersey and Kitakami left the scene and the group was reduced to 3 carriers (Kaga, Enterprise and Ark Royal) and their pet submarine. Kaga went back on track and explained that the final piece of the treasure was somewhere in space. Ark Royal and Enterprise were baffled in how they would be able to even get up there.
"I know of someone who could help. She has a space program over at Okinawa. Let's head over there." Kaga suggested.
The others agreed in her decision and followed her to the site. But first, they made a stop at Tulagi to refuel at the Takao Bell location there and guess who was the head attendant. That's right, it was Takao again. This still confuses everyone on how she can manage multiple locations at the same time, but let's get back on track with the story. As usual, Takao asked Kaga what the group was up to now.
"Well Takao, we just fought our way out of a zombie horror movie and the rest of the mercenaries left us for their own safety. I wish I could let them stay with me just a little bit more but I respect their decisions and their belief in what was right for them." Kaga explained.
"I see. Will this affect your hunt for the treasure?"
"I don't think so. I'm confident that we could have done this treasure hunt without them. Besides, we have only one more piece of the puzzle to find."
"Well, where do you think it is?"
"It's in space. Captain Kidd really made this hunt difficult for us. Luckily, I know someone who will help us get there."
"Ah. Well I wish you luck on your final stretch of the journey. Here is the fuel you ordered and that will be 50 thousand credits."
Kaga paid the credits and the ships refueled before heading north towards the island of Okinawa. When the team arrived to the southern tip of the island they came across a large and intricate facility. Kaga approached the entrance and was greeted by a battleship.
"Hi Kaga. It's been awhile since I last saw you. How are you and what brings you to the Yamato Space Centre of the Yamato Space Program?" Yamato welcomed.
"Nice to see you again Yamato. Listen, I have a favour to ask. Do you think it is possible to get me and my team into space?" Kaga asked.
"Hmmm... Is there a reason why you need to go there urgently?"
"Well, it's part of a treasure hunt and the last one is up there in an asteroid made of jade."
"Did you say jade? The observatory spotted one orbiting near the moon and I'm planning on investigating it."
