Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

"Bismarck! You can not interrupt someone while they're shooting!" Lexington scolded, attempting with all of her might to hold the small escort carrier still. Ryuujou laughed from the side as she watched the two battle for advantage, Bismarck Sea trying to shake free of the Fleet carrier's grasp.

With Bismarck Sea wrangled for the moment, and Enterprise and Cabot handling Lo and Kit, the Hiryuu sisters turned their attention back to their targets.

"So Saratoga isn't too keen on working with us?" Hiryuu asked as she released her arrow, sending it flying a ways before burying itself into one of the targets. Enterprise gave a nod from her seat on the ground, St. Lo sitting in her lap as she did so.

"Yeah, Saratoga doesn't seem very likable so far. She's too focused on what happened to her sister in the past and I think that's affecting a lot of her decisions now. Including the one to work with you girls peacefully..." Enterprise said as she played with Lo's hair. "And I don't think it will get better until Lexington comes through. If she comes through..." She said. Lo shrugged at this, looking up at Enterprise.

"I think she's just afraid." Lo said. "There's a lot of stuff to adjust to here. Like being human for one." The small escort carrier stated. Enterprise quirked a brow at the small girl, looking impressed.

"That was quite the intelligent comment. Are you secretly a genius?" She asked. Lo's only answer was to break down into a giggle fit, causing Enterprise to give a shake of the head. "Guess not. Anyways, at least we know more of our girls can come through now."

"Tell me about it!" Lexington exclaimed, leaning back as Bismarck Sea leaned against her. "It feels good to be able to depend on that Gateway again." She said.

The carrier range was now playing host to some of the new American carriers as well as they watched those of the Japanese practice. Hiryuu and Souryuu were up and able while the others sat back against the rear wall.

"You can only wonder who the next girl to come through will be...." Cabot said as she held Kitkun in her lap. Lexington opened her mouth to answer but found herself confused

"I believe I can answer that for you Cabot." Captain Algerona said as she entered the range. Following right after her came Kaga, who took no time in settling down next to Akgai. The red themed carrier in turn looked to her sister.

"Hello Kaga-nee. Where did you go?" She asked. Kaga in turn looked to her ship sister.

"Helping someone who needed it...." She answered. Akagi only gave a nod in response as Houshou and Langley approached the Captain.

"Captain? How can we help you?" Langley asked. Sofia shook her head.

"Not me. But there is someone you can help." She said as she stepped out of the way of the door. After a moment, Midway stepped inside. Langley gave the carrier a soft smile.

"It's good to see you again Midway. I trust everything is alright?" The American motherly carrier asked. Midway hesitated a brief moment before giving a nod. But as she did so, a wide smile creeped along her features. An action that caught Langley off guard. "Midway...?"

In turn, Midway let out a small laugh that quickly grew more and more out of our control. So much so, that Sofia ended up putting a hand in front of the carrier's mouth.

"Yes, well... That's enough laughter for the moment." She mused. Lexington and Enterprise in turn looked to Midway in concern.

"Is... Is she gonna be ok?" Lexington asked after a moment.

"And why is she laughing all of the sudden? What happened to the quiet, reserved Midway?" Enterprise asked. Zuikaku in turn approached Midway, hands on her hips.
