One Month Later...

My crew blindfolded me and carried me out of the hangar. Someone was holding a glass bottle, and it clinked around. They set me down and they took the blindfold off. Sitting there was my Riptide and her sister ship Deathbringer. Lucas handed me a bottle and did the same with Michael. We walked to the bows of our ships and prepared to swing.

       "One. Two. Three!" Joey yelled.

        We broke the bottles against our ships. I climbed aboard mine to find that exploding ships were painted on a wall. One for each ship shot down.

       "Now," I said, "to get back to Germany and take down that flying monster once and for all!"

       "One slight problem," Captain James responded as he came up behind me, "you guys and I have been ordered to move to Pearl Harbor and start attacks on Japan. If you thought Bismark 2 was hard to take down, Japan has one even bigger. We'be been sent to destroy it. It's called Yamato."

       "Great." I said sarcastically. "An enormous flying warship. What type of guns?"

       "Well, she used to have three sets of three 46cm guns." James said.

       "Those are more powerful than ours!" Michael exclaimed.

       "But, they were removed and traded in for 55cm guns. To make it more powerful. Same three turrets, same sets of three. Just more powerful." He finished.

       "I know they have an enormous carrier called Shinano. Will it be there?" Lucas said.

       "Most definitely. They travel together, with the Yamato out first. They have new aircraft, too. Propellers are becoming outdated. They have these "jets". They move much faster than the fastest prop fighter we have. They attached mini versions of our engines that give us thrust and attached it to planes. Don't worry, we're outfitting some of our planes with this technology." He explained.

       He went on to say the new planes are tested in Nevada, so when we flew to Pearl Harbour, we could stop to see the new technology being developed. When Riptide and Deathbringer were fueled and ready for takeoff, we soared for the skies.
