"Hang on Spence!" The Iowa-class Battleship New Jersey yelled over the howling sea as she reached out for the small destroyer, tossing helpless in the storm that had suddenly overtaken the fleet.

Typhoon Cobra.

The large, tanned battleship girl was normally rude and uncaring, but due to the storm the Iowa girl had been sympathetic to the smaller ships needing to refuel. 

Especially the small destroyers for some reason.

"Stop "screwing" around!" New Jersey was beginning to lose her patience's as she had been trying to refuel Spence for 30 minutes now.

"Why are you bobbing and weaving like that? What's wrong T.C.?" The big tanned girl asked sternly as the small pink-haired girl looked up with embarrassment.

"I didn't deballast when told to…" New Jersey's mis-matched eyes understood what it meant as she grabbed the destroyer angrily through a deep wave.

"You disregarded a direct order from Bull himself! What did you expect was going to happen!" More waves splashed over the two ship-girls as Spence wiped her watery eyes.

"I didn't think it was going to be that bad!" Spence tried to defend herself as New Jersey just shook her head.

"If you don't start puking or pissing that seawater out you're going to be in big trouble Spence!" Suddenly a giant wave split them as a random wave threw Spence into New Jersey's gut.

"Uggghh!" The massive battleship held her stomach from the hit as another wave slammed Spence roughly into the water. 

"AHHHHH!" The small destroyer felt a snap in her foot as she realized the worst thing that could possibly happen right now.

"My rudder is jammed!"

Spence begin to sail in the opposite direction as Iowa girl reached out for thea helpless Destroyer once more.

"Spence! I'll try to double back! Do what I said, or you're dead Capiche?!" New Jersey screamed at the top of her lungs as the winds and waves drowned her out instantly.

"Jersey! WAIT!" The Destroyer screamed back as another wave knocked her over, almost capsizing her.

"SPENCE!" The Iowa girl yelled again, but the wind and waves muffled every sound now as she started to flash her spotlight.

"Do what I say!"

Spence was on her own now as she knew if she didn't stay afloat her crew was doomed.

The waves continued to hammer the small girl as the winds blew her violently up against the raging sea.

She really tried to deballast as she realized she was running on fumes now it was only a matter of time before....

Her eyes flickered dimly as she suddenly waved her hands in front of her face, she felt her engines slowly begin to shut down as the lack of fuel became imminent.

Then it happened, without fuel or power, her pumps were useless as the water continue to splash down on her.

Spence began to feel water filling her hull as she began to slip beneath the waves, looking up at the dark sky.

"A storm? How shamefully..."

She closed her eyes as she was still being tossed around underwater from the storm.

"BaaAagggh!" Air bubbles suddenly exploded from her mouth as all of her compartments were flooding.

"I'm sorry everyone…"

Spence gasped her last breath as she slowly drifted downward...

"Maybe, next time..."
