While Miss Lycoris and Ru were negotiating a proper ceasefire with the Imperial Japanese Navy, a trio of Abyssal submarines were trying to locate the bodies of Jack and Kongou so they could bring them up for a proper burial instead of what they normally do when they find sunken shipgirls.

"Any signs yet?" The Ka-Class asks her fellow submarines.

"Nothing yet. They can't have possibly sunk that fast." The So-Class replies. "Yo, any sign?"

"Nothing as of yet." The Yo-Class says. "Did they drift?"

"I mean it is possible. Surface reports recalled that they were in a tight embrace before they sunk." So replies. "If they did drift, it was probably because of that, but our sonars aren't picking up anything for some reason. We should have found them by now."

"Do you have any idea why it's so hard?" Ka asks.

"No, not really. They have rings on them so that would theoretically make it even easier to find them." So replies. "If they're not too deep then they'll shine."

"You're right." Yo says. "Let's keep looking." And with that the submarines look around, searching for any signs of Jack and Kongou, and then they come across something.

"Hey isn't this a piece of that admiral's uniform?" Ka asks as she takes the scrap of clothing to So.

"Looks like it. I think this got blown off by that battleship." Yo replies. "So they have to be around here somewhere!"

"All right let's redefine our search parameters then." So says. "If we can't find them with our sonar then we'll just find them the old fashioned way." And with that the three submarines split up with So searching near the bottom, Yo looking around the middle and Ka searching higher up. "Hey guys! I think I found something!"

"What'd you find?" Yo asks as the other submarines head to So's location.

"I found this." So replies as she shows the submarines what appears to be a broken part of a kai ni hei radar wing, part of the headband that Kongou wore. "They're probably around here. Let's keep searching." With renewed hope and energy the three Abyssal submarines narrow down their search parameters and it's not long before Ka manages to catch a glimpse of who they were looking for.

"Over there! I think that's them!" Ka shouts as So and Yo take a better look. Sure enough it's the bodies of Jack and Kongou, still in a tight embrace- Kongou's headband even has a part broken off, the very part that So is holding.

"All right! We found them!" Yo cheers. "Now to get them to the Japanese." But before they can begin to retrieve the two bodies they notice something very odd. "Huh?"

"Wait a second... I can sense something very strong coming off of them..." So says. "Stay back!"

"T e i t o k u... D o n ' t l e t g o..." An eerie voice sounding like Kongou's echoes.

"I w o n ' t l e t g o..." Another eerie voice, Jack's this time, echoes back, and So sees something horrifying happen to the bodies of Jack and Kongou.

"...What the fuck?!" So asks in disbelief. "They're... Melting... Amalgamating... Oh god their eyes! Yo, Ka, one of you two issue a warning to Lycoris and the Japanese! Something is very wrong here!" And with that Yo quickly tries to get the princess on the line.

"Yo-Class to Lycoris?" Yo quickly says.

"This is Lycoris Princess, come in." Lycoris replies. "Have you found them?"

"We found them yes, but something is very wrong..." Yo says. "We have to get out of here!"
