Today was a watchful kind of day as the admirals and the Kongou sisters found themselves out on the docks simply admiring the calm sea, for it probably wouldn't be very calm for long.

"Maybe when the warring is all over, we can take a little more time to just do this." Jack says to Kongou as they sit on the edge, letting their legs idly sway around and occasionally brush against one another. "Just admire the peace that we have helped bring."

"I wish we could." Kongou replies as Jack slings an arm around her shoulder and she rests her head on his. "In this time of war I'm not sure if I could see us growing old together, but at least we can tickle that thought." As the two continue to look out into the glorious sea they are oblivious to the various compliments and teasing from passing seamen and more teasing from Vinh and the others as the outside world simply falls deaf to their ears. Unfortunately this peace doesn't last long as the couple look out into the distance and spot a few familiar looking black specks in the distance.

"I think we have more Abyssal activity." Jack says as he and Kongou stand up and the former gets into his ship.

"Loud and clear." Felicia and Vinh reply as everyone else gets ready for another fight. The four main ships quickly move out alongside the Kongous, and it's not long before the rest of the fleet slowly follows suit, and when they reach the Abyssals a familiar face is picked out.

"Well, if it isn't the admiral!" Miss Lycoris chuckles. "I never thought I'd see you out here!"

"I didn't think I'd see you out here so soon Miss Lycoris." Jack replies. "I still haven't quite gotten over what you did to me the last time we fought, but that's in the past! I'll be the one to chase you out!"

"Over my sunken body!" Miss Lycoris laughs as she looks to the Ru and Ta battleships she's commanding. "Show these girls no mercy!"

"Right!" The Abyssal battleships shout back.

"All cannons! Fire!" Jack and Kongou shout simultaneously as another fight breaks out in the sea, with both sides trading blows. "Tonbo! Kuwaga! Focus fire on the supporting battleships! Hachi, focus fire on the princess!"

"Roger that!" Felicia and Vinh shout back as they begin focusing fire on the Ru-Class while Kirishima and Hiei take on the Ta-Class. Meanwhile Kongou and Haruna take on the princess as she attempts to dodge covering fire from Jack and Felicia. The battle almost looks like it's going to turn in Jack's favor as the Abyssals struggle to find a vantage point- until everyone hears shots coming from a distance.

"Who shot that?" Kongou asks as everyone stops fighting to try and home in on where the shots are coming from.

"My hands are up, yet I can still hear cannon fire." A Ru-Class girl says. "Did you call for reinforcements?"

"If I did, then they would have arrived by now, but this sounds like it's coming from down there..." Miss Lycoris mumbles, but the princess' thoughts are cut off as a salvo of shells strikes Jack's ship, splitting it in half and sending the admiral flying! "WHAT THE?!"

"GAH!!!!" Jack screams as he gets sent flying by the explosion.

"TEITOKU!!!" Kongou screams as she catches him. "What in the world was that?!"

"Oops! Sorry~" A familiar voice calls out as everyone turns to see none other than Bismarck. "I think you were in the way."

"IN THE WAY OF WHAT?! YOUR DIGNITY?!" Jack shouts.

"You shut your mouth! As a matter of fact I'll make you!" Bismarck yells as she fires another salvo, and not being able to react in time, Kongou and Jack take direct hits.

"ARGH!" Kongou and Jack yell.

"HIEEE!!!!"

"KONGOU!"

"BIG SIS!" Kongou's sisters scream as they see gaping holes in Kongou's chest, and she slowly begins sinking!

"Teitoku... I'm scared..." Kongou whimpers as she looks at Jack, who's just barely alive. "I don't want to let go..."

"I... Love you Kongou..." Are Jack's last words as he uses the last of his energy to hug Kongou tight, and she does the same as they sink to the bottom of the sea. Everyone is in absolute shock at what Bismarck had just done- even the Abyssals found themselves struggling to comprehend what insanity must have been going through the battleship's head to murder one of her own kind, along with the very human admiral.

"I... I don't understand..." Miss Lycoris says, realizing she can speak. "What treachery must be going through your mind Bismarck?" But the princess gets no response as Bismarck booked it while everyone was staring in horror.

"The admiral... He's dead..." Felicia says frailly.

"Kongou..." Haruna whispers.

"We are all just as shocked as you are..." Miss Lycoris says as she attempts to recompose herself. "We'll try and locate the bodies and bring them to you for a proper burial... It's the least we Abyssals can do while you mourn..." The Ru-Class next to her nods in agreement.

"We would like that... Thank you..." Felicia replies as both sides head back to their docks.
