If you think that's bad, when Michael got 45'd by Sheffield and Ajax. He lost his shit when going against Nagato and Mutsu. And you know, I have to wait a week, for the Ironblood to come. Meanwhile...

Vestal: Ugh! You two are too troublesome to deal with! Just like Enterprise having her bow broke!

Kevin: Well, excuse me, that we've to deal with those Yanderes.

Michael: Ja, ist never easy to deal with this kind of stuff...

Vestal just sighs and lefted us here, alone.

Kevin: So... you still yourself?

Michael: Anyways, do you have a plan?

Kevin: To be honest... I don't know...

Vestal's POV...

I decided to listen to their conversation, secretly... Whatever the Commander and the Ex-Ironblood is going to deal against something...

Michael: I mean... they're going to arrive at any seconds.

What? Who?

Kevin: The Ironblood? Man... I'm concerned about our weaponry...

THE IRONBLOOD IS COMING!? Why the heck did the Commander didn't told me!?

Michael: Durable and Resistant to Tranquilizers, we're now at the disadvantage...

Kevin: Yeah, I just don't know how to deal with them...

Michael: Even if that's the case, we'll fight till the end?

Kevin: Heh. To the end.

I have just enough! Ugh... I was always worried about the Commander being injured due to those girls, but this!? The Ironblood!? No... I must think of a plan...

I walked around a little bit, but, after looking my ship... I laughed a little...

Vestal: I know... I should just... lock him up in my ship, and sail it away!

That's it... that's what I will do...~ I'll make sure that the Commander will be safe and sound! Away from them and the Ironblood!~

Vestal: Hehehe... Ahahahaha... Ahahahaha!~ You'll be safe and sound by your future savior, Com~man~der!~

Phoenix's POV

Man... no wonder that portal was hard to fix... It's already done with the second stage and it's about to reach the third stage... As I was about to go back to base, I sawed Vestal... what is she doing I wonder? She didn't noticed me, but I decided to hide myself from her.

Vestal: I know... I should just... lock him up in my ship, and sail away!

Wait what!? If it's either Kevin or Michael, I like to see you try!

Vestal: Hehehe... Ahahahaha... Ahahahaha!~ You'll be safe and sound by your future savior, Com~man~der!~

Oh crap... He's already tired fighting against with Nagato and Mutsu, and now, Vestal is trying to kidnap Kevin, just to keep him away from Ironblood!? No wonder Kevin trusted Michael, instead of the shipgirls! Well, with us as an exception...

Vestal: You shouldn't have heard that...

Phoenix: Wha-!?

Vestal stabbed me with something, and it was a syringe, and she injected something... oh wait... it's tranquilizer... I blacked out...

Vestal: Guess I've to lock you too, but first, the Commander!~

Kevin's POV.

I was getting tired, and decided to take a sleep. I was walking to my bedroom, but, I'm having this uneasy feeling... Until... I saw, an opened door from Phoenix's dorm... I went to check, to see Phoenix not here... Something's not right... But, I need to sleep, like now... I went back to my office. Only to be jabbed by a syringe again... Fuck me life...

Later at Day time...

I wake up to find myself in a... a Ship!? I looked around to see... I'm sailing away from the base!? I don't even have my weapons!

???: Oh? You're finally awake, Commander.

I turned around to see Vestal, closing the door.

Kevin: Vestal... What are you doing...?

Vestal: I'll tell you Commander... I. Had. Enough.

Kevin: W-What...?

Vestal: I've heard that the Ironblood is coming.

Kevin: Since when?

Vestal: Since, you were talking to your friend.

Oh shit... She heard about it... But, that doesn't explain why she kidnapped me.

Kevin: Still, I don't think that's-!?

She kissed me... right in my mouth...

Vestal: I don't care.~ As long the Commander is safe away from the Ironblood and the others, You'll never get hurt... Forever.~

Kevin: You-!

Vestal got me with an another tranquillizer, I struggle a bit, and then fallen asleep.

Vestal: Sleep tight, Commander.~

Michael's POV...

I... That was unexpected. A Doctor goes Yandere, all because some unknown reason... I'm commanding a Sentinel-class cutter. They were able to send a Patrol Craft for me. Due to this, I'm bringing Prinz Heinrich, Pennsylvania and Leipzig, Hopefully, it's enough to help me with the Ironblood... And maybe the kid too, his Phoenix Project's on the thin line.

Leipzig: Umm... Director Michael...?

Michael: Ja?

Leipzig: You and the... Commander seems lively to each other... How did you two met...?

Michael: Vell, he did help me with the problem with the Crimson Axis... Big secret ones. Thanks to the Kid, I've managed to survive thanks to the kid's help, and switched sides to the Azur Lane.

Prinz Heinrich: Just one thing, why do you tend to call him... kid?

Michael: Because he's younger than me. Plus, he doesn't mind being called like that by me.

Both of them understood about that. And, looks like it's that place. Hopefully, the kid is fine. I fired and anchor at the ship, with the cutter. They are confused why did I climb the chains, like no problem, while they used their riggings to climb. Of course, I don't have a rigging... Maybe not yet...

I took out my shotgun, and take the lead. No, there's only stun rounds...

Later...

God... That took a while, I've rescued Phoenix, and we noticed, Vestal leaving the room, we quickly take cover. As she goes up, we went to the room and... Oh my god...

Kevin: ... Please... just leave me alone...

Michael: Kid, it's me.

Kevin: M... Michael!? W... Why can't I see?

Michael: You're blindfolded.

Kevin: ... I'm an idiot, aren't I?

Phoenix: Hey, not to interrupt, but she's coming back...

Michael: Penn, blow us an exit!

With her 14-inch cannons, she maked a grappling exit. With me, holding the kid, we fired our grappling hook, jumpped out and climbed.

Vestal: What the!? Why!?

As we've rushing to the cutter, we nearly got hit, as those syringes landed in front of us.

Vestal: You're not taking my Commander away! He's mine to protect!

Michael: *Sighs* Look, if you want to protect him, why didn't you asked?

Vestal: Because, he'll get hurt! Especially that the Ironblood are coming!

Pennsylvania: Vestal... Ke... The Commander is rebuilding the Coalition Fleet, so that we can hold against the Ironblood... Why didn't you take notice?

Vestal: Because I've been... watching the Commander's health... And been watching him for a while...

I could only facepalmed... and said this...

Michael: If your care about the Commander, would you help me and the kid with the Ironblood? We'll need yours, Akashi and Kashino assistance.. Heck, we need many available hands to help us!

Vestal: R-really?

Prinz Heinrich: Yeah!

Vestal: ... *Sighs* Fine... If the Commander ever get in a deep trouble by the Ironblood, it's my way.

Michael: Deal.

Welp... That's done. After that, I sailed back to the base, with a lot of confused looks...

Michael: Don't worry, it's just some misunderstanding. Now Please, be ready for the Ironblood's arrival.

They all nodded and continued their lifes... At least not a single shots fired...
