THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Meanwhile anchored at the base is a ship from the Eagle Union the USS Vestal. After the ship anchors the woman in command of this vessel descends from it using a gangway. At the port Hornet and Hamman are the only ones there to greet her.

"Hornet: (Joyful) Vestal!

Hornet runs and hugs Vestal. Hornet is very happy to see Vestal while on the other hand Hamman looks somewhat concerned.

Hornet: Finally you're here I missed you so much.

Vestal: (smiling) I apologize for the delay but the repairs of the ships at another base took longer than I expected.

Hamman: (Worried) How is Yorktown?

Vestal not knowing how to respond stutters a bit but Hornet understands how Yorktown is doing so she is the one who responds.

Hornet: I guess as always...

Hamman: (Depressed) I see.

Hornet walks backwards and lifts Hamman's skirt so that Hamman can regain her true tsundere girl personality.

Hornet: There it goes!

Hamman regains her personality and she blushes and yells at Hornet very annoyed.

Hamman: AAHHHHHH! What are you doing?!

Hamman runs and hides behind Vestal.

Hornet: She is my older sister don't worry.

In response to Hornet's words, Hamman pouts.

Vestal: Changing the subject what about Enterprise?

Hornet: There for sure she is doing very well.

Vestal: I need to see the Enterprise ship could you tell me where it is?

Hornet: Port 4 is on the left where the Wales battleship is anchored.

Vestal: I see it now, well I will go to Enterprise right away.

Hornet: Ok

FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Now is the moment of truth.

Cleveland: Why do I have to do this?

Me: There is no other option there must be someone of high rank to supervise the naval exercises so that we are not doing anything illegal right now.

Albacore: It's time to settle accounts I'm burning with excitement. I hope everything you told me isn't just false stories.

Me: I assure you that you will not be disappointed with my power.

Cleveland: Anyway let's start the submarine training exercises. I'll be monitoring your movements with sonar. Only training projectiles are allowed and targeting vital areas of the opponent is not allowed. If you are within 5 meters do not use your weapons to shoot instead say 'death' aloud (Bang, Bang). This is to protect the victim from a close-range attack. This move cannot be used to ensure the death of the opponent it's meant to safeguard your opponent from unnecessary harm.

Cleveland: Any of these rules that is broken is a total disqualification. Understood?

Me/Albacore: Understood.

And so begins our underwater duel when the fight started Albacore was the first to dive I do it a little later than her but I don't mind what matters is not being detected by the opponent.

In that moment I hear the sound of a torpedo coming towards me. It's a deep-sea torpedo it seems Albacore is smarter than I thought. She submerged very quickly to give me the first blow. If she fails here she would only have to wait for me to resurface to recharge my oxygen. But to her misfortune I don't need to resurface because I can create my own oxygen underwater. I turn starboard and avoid the deadly blow of my rival's torpedo.

So I remain submerged in this first stage I just want to prolong the fight for as long as possible so that Albacore doesn't get bored. Due to my sensitive sonar I was able to locate Albacore without much difficulty I can even hear what she's saying.

Albacore: Where is it? Damn it. I couldn't land the first blow I'm so unlucky. Well now I just have to wait for her to emerge.

As I thought she was now going to dedicate herself to waiting underwater during the time of the Second World War. Submarines were unable to fight each other so the only way to deal with submarines was by using depth charges launched from destroyers and light cruisers. Aircraft were also capable of launching depth charges. Submarines did not fight each other because guided torpedoes by sonar or cable did not exist.

And so 45 minutes passed without doing anything. I just stare into nothingness while Albacore is kicking her legs because she is very, very bored. I had heard that Cleveland is sleeping standing up because I heard her snoring for a moment.

Me: Ok let's stir up the hornet's nest.

I fire a torpedo towards Albacore clearly doing it to annoy her. I will self-destruct the torpedo when it gets close to Albacore. Albacore seems to have realized that she is being targeted by a torpedo so she quickly starts evasive maneuvers.

Albacore: (Shock) What!? A torpedo!? How is it possible for me to be attacked at this depth with a torpedo? Damn it. Columbia! Where are you!? Let yourself be heard by my sonar!

Me: (Don't be stupid I won't let you detect me easily just because you're an old submarine don't think I'll hold back)

Now I shoot more torpedoes at Albacore, and before they hit her, I self-destruct them.

BBBOOOMMMMMMM! BBOOOMMMMMMM BBBOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

Albacore: WUAAAAAAAHHH!

I hear shouts of surprise from as it is hit by the shockwave of several torpedoes exploding 4 meters away from her.

Cleveland: (Waking up) Whoa! What's going on here?

Me: Actually Cleveland fell asleep.

Well it's time to end all of this. so I approach Albacore without her realizing my presence. She is very confused looking around but she doesn't see me. I get closer from behind and beneath her so she doesn't notice me even though she looks back several times. However she fails to do the basic thing of looking down. When I get close enough I grab her hand, pull her towards me, and then aim my gun at her head.

Me: Checkmate.

Albacore: It's fine I lost.


And so she gave up and together we emerged victorious and Cleveland finally declared my total victory in this encounter.

Albacore: I'm sorry for underestimating you. it wasn't my intention.

Me: No problem shall we have some fun at the beach for a while?

Albacore: Ok. 

Me: Since our combat uniforms are bikinis I suppose we can use them to play at the beach, right?

Albacore: I suppose so...

And so we went to the beach to play.
