The port was in upheaval, because of a siren attack? Nah, I already used that excuse some chapters ago, so it wasn't that

No, the reason was much worse... Depending on who you asked, if you asked Akagi, she wouldn't answer because she was currently with a face filled with despair, the same was true for Taihou and all of the horni or yandere shipgirls of the Sakura Empire

If you asked Prinz Eugen, you wouldn't get an answer either because she's currently out of commission from getting wasted at the Port's bar

If you asked Laffey, Indomitable, Le Malin, Impero, or any of the sleeping club shipgirls, you wouldn't get an answer either because they're currently taking a nap somewhere

So what was happening at the port for an upheaval to be happening? Simple, the Commander is hiding somewhere in the port for the past few days

And because of that, the leader shipgirls of each faction were holding an emergency meeting in each of their designated areas of the port. And today, we'll visit the Northern Parliament, anyway let's get on to it

.

.

On top of a podium stood the always teased, always promoted, but never released Sovestky Soyuz. And she was giving an announcement to her comrades

"As some of you may have heard, the commander has currently gone into hiding for a month already. Our comrades in the other factions haven't found any traces of the commander secretly acting as if he was on vacation with some of the shipgirls, with the exception of the Sakura Empire, as it appears he never went into hiding in their area"

I don't know how to write speeches, so that's the best ya'll will get

"So because of that, I, alongside the leaders of the other factions, decided to hold a joint search for the commander. You all will be put in groups and search for the commander"

And with that Soyuz began to separate her fellow comrades into groups, and the group we'll follow is composed of Avrora, Kronstadt, Kirov, and Pamiat Merkuriat

"You four will be called the 2nd Search Squadron. Oh, and also, you all will be receiving a newcomer"

"At this time?"

"The script requires me to say that"

"Makes sense"

"So follow me"

Soyuz guided the four, to the reception room, when Kronstadt asked her another question

"So who's our new comrade, comrade Soyuz?"

"She's someone that Avrora knows very well"

"Me? Hmm... Maybe it's Borodino, or perhaps it might be Orel, or maybe it's sister Oleg!"

"It's none of them"

"It isn't, your new comrade is..."

And Soyuz opened the door to reveal the new shipgirl to unnecessarily increase the tension. And inside the reception room was a ship... girl? That was really tall, muscular, and... appeared to be the commander badly disguised as a shipgirl

"Kamchatka!"

"... What?"

Avrora at hearing that lost all light from her face as the sound of PTSD intensifying could be heard

"Oi! What just happened to Comrade Avrora!? She's turning completely white!"

"Ahahahaha..."

"And she's laughing in a very sad manner as well"

"Sorry, but I already reached my allowed screentime, so I'll have to go back to the backstage"

And with that Soyuz without explaining further went off camera, as her voice could be heard as she talked with Yamato and Iowa

And because I don't know what transition to make, I'll just skip to them going to search for the commander

Timeskip

The 2nd Search Squadron was following the last pieces of evidence they had of the commander, everything was going smoothly, way too smoothly

"According to what we have this is the last place the commander was seen"

"As expected of comrade commander, only he would be capable to disappear from the middle of the plaza"

"Haa... Haa... This old lady here can't keep up while having to carry Avrora"

"..."

As the three talked, Kamchatka was standing menacingly there, paying attention to potential enemies, and then the Com- Kamchatka noticed enemies, her nemesis

"TORPEDO BOATS!!!"

" " "?" " "

"!" *Twitches*

Kronstadt, Kirov, and Pamiat Merkuriat turned towards Kamchatka with confusion, but Avrora at hearing those two words react

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

And she began screaming in despair as her PTSD from her time in the Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron kicked in from those words

"What's wrong, comrade Avrora!?"

"TORPEDO BOATS!!!" *Shooting wildly everywhere*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

And Kamchatka went running in some random direction as she kept firing even more random shots, all the while Avrora was having a panic attack

"You two take care of Comrade Avrora! I'll go after Kamchatka"

"Got it!" "Y-Yes!"

And Kronstadt went chasing after Kamchatka, but for some reason, she was unable to keep up with her even when she was supposed to be way faster than a pre-WW1 ship, instead, the distance between them only appeared to be increasing

Eventually, Kamchatka ended up finding a Sakura Empire Destroyer, it was Miyuki

"TORPEDO BOAT!!!"

"Huh!?"

"SHOOT!!!" *bang bang bang*

"EEEEEEEEKKKK!!!"

Kamchatka fired in Miyuki's general direction and... hit literally everything but Miyuki in an impressive show of garbage accuracy. And then she went running away to somewhere else

"Haa... Haaaaaa! What the hell is wrong with her!? Huh? !? A-are you alright, Comrade Miyuki!?"

"Y-Yes..."

Kronstadt was stalled as she had to help the scared Miyuki

Meanwhile

Kamchatka had turned a corner, and there she ended up meeting with Mikasa

"... Shoot"

"Hm? Commander?"

"..."

Then Kamchatka removed the wig she was wearing and revealed it to be... The commander to no one's surprise, as he also ripped the clothes out of his body revealing that he was still wearing his navy uniform under the clothes of the fake shipgirl Kamchatka 

"Yes, it's me"

"I finally catches up to you, Kam- Commander!?"

Aside from Kronstadt, she didn't see through the Commander's shitty disguise. But that wasn't all yet

" "COMMANDER!!!" "

Because Akagi and Taihou were literally rushing toward him at full speed

"..."

Seeing that his life was in potential danger, the Commander touched his forehead with two fingers and teleported out of there

" "Damn it!!!" "

Having lost the commander yet again, Akagi and Taihou fell to their knees

"... What?"

While Kronstadt was in utter confusion at what just happened

Weeks later

In the Eagle Union camp, they were holding a meeting to introduce their new recruit

"Everyone, I want to introduce you all to Midway!"

Enterprise then showed everyone a very tall and buffed carrier that looked very similar to the commander. But still, everyone just clapped in amazement as they looked at their new friend, everyone but one person

"... Hmm... Isn't that the commander, Enterprise-senpai?"

Essex had raised her hand as she said that with a concerned face

"What are you talking about? There's no wa-"

And when Enterprise turned to look at Midway, all she saw was a wig and Midway's clothes on the floor as the Commander was jumping out from the window, he was still wearing his navy uniform

"Commander!?"

And Enterprise went on to chase after him, the Commander would manage to escape about two more times, but he eventually returned after the devs announced Royal Fortune was going to be released
