"Hmm..." Kongou mumbles as she and Jack wait around the docks. "That merchant ship should be back by now. Surely it can't take that long to get to America and back."

"I don't know honestly." Jack replies. "Those ships are always kinda slow."

"Any signs yet?" Linh asks as she and Haruna walk out into the docks.

"Nope, nothing yet." Kongou replies. "It's taking longer than usual."

"Could something have happened?" Haruna asks.

"I'm not sure. Should we send someone to check?" Jack asks back and Haruna ponders for a few seconds.

"Have you tried contacting them yet?" Haruna asks again.

"We've been trying but we're not getting anything from them." Kongou replies. "We'll go check it out."

"But Jack is such a high profile figure. Would it be safe?" Haruna asks.

"I can hold my own." Jack chuckles. "I understand you worry about me a lot but you don't need to worry so much." And with that he gets into a speedboat and sails alongside Kongou down the route the merchant ship was supposed to take. "You happen to bring any sonar with you?"

"I borrowed it from one of the destroyers." Kongou replies. "Should do us some good if it happens to have been sunk." With everything all set the two begin searching for any signs of the merchant ship, carefully trailing it's path and branching off where possible. Eventually Kongou's sonar picks up signs of a shipwreck directly on the path of the merchant ship and the readings tell all.

"What's showing up?" Jack asks.

"it's the merchant ship." Kongou replies. "It's been split in half."

"Split in half?!" Jack asks in disbelief, and Kongou shows him the results to confirm it. "There's only one ship that I know that can do something like this."

"Who?" Kongou asks.

"Bismarck." Jack replies. "She first did it to Hood and ever since then she's been doing it to many of her enemies, something to do with her extreme luck and powerful guns. Anyone I meet that's had a run in with her AND survived gave her the nickname "Tetsufu", and I've had a couple encounters with her before I became admiral. Safe to say she's more than earned her fearsome reputation." That's when a wayward shot just barely misses Jack's speedboat, and when the two turn they come face to face with Tetsufu herself.

"So, looks like the big fish has arrived." Bismarck chuckles. "How do you like my handiwork?"

"That was our only merchant ship you swine!" Jack shouts. "And you've gone and split it in half!"

"That's what I'm known for." Bismarck boasts. "Now unless you want to join that ship I think it's best you scram!"

"Like I'll let you touch MY teitoku!" Kongou screams as she fires her cannons, and Bismarck gets a shell to the face, but when the smoke clears all the shell has done is cover Bismarck's face with soot. The German battleship then proceeds to let loose a barrage and Kongou's guns get crippled. "Shit!"

"If you won't run off yourself then I'll make you!" Bismarck shouts.

"OH CRAP!" Jack shouts as he and Kongou quickly make a break for it and retreat to base with a VERY angry fast battleship raining down hell on them.

"Get back here you little fotzes!" Bismarck yells as she continues to rain shells down on Jack and Kongou, just barely missing them.

"Those coastal defense girls better act quick, or we're going to get blown to bits!" Kongou shouts as they near their docks. Fortunately the girls react quickly and Bismarck gets pelted with everything the coastal defense has, sending her reeling back for a few seconds before she backs away.

"This isn't the last you've seen of me you scheißkopfs!" Bismarck shouts. "I'll be back!" And with that the German battleship takes her leave as everyone emerges, having heard the commotion.

"What was all of THAT?!" The fleet admiral asks. "Did you ever find the merchant ship?"

"Yeah, little miss tetsufu sunk it in the only way she could sink a ship." Jack replies. "And that was our last one too."

"Seems like those damn Germans are asking for a death warrant with what they've been doing. First she split your flagship and then she split our merchant ship, what else is she going to destroy?! She's got some sort of vendetta against us!" The fleet admiral says.

"She must be that pissed that we accidentally shelled those destroyers." Jack replies. "We've already declared war on those pigs, and it's only a matter of time before we show them just what happens when you poke the sleeping dragon."

"You got that right!" Kongou says.

"With that in mind I think we can give you an even more powerful remodel." The fleet admiral replies, looking at Kongou.

"Wait, ME?!" Kongu asks. "But I'm already remodeled, all four of us have been remodeled! You can't possibly remodel something that's already BEEN remodeled can you?"

"That's where you thought wrong, and I have something special for you too Hiei. Follow me." The fleet admiral chuckles.
