Sensors detecting contact on surface.
At six o'clock, distance 13,000.
Ships identified.
Nagara class cruisers...
22 of them are in pursuit.
This boat's still popular with the ladies, I see.
Iona, why do you think the Nagara cruisers could detect our position?
They probably followed our gravitational waves.
The wave generated while in Ars Nova mode is very unique.
It is very difficult to remove all traces of it.
So in other words...
We're the centre of attention for all Fog vessels worldwide.
We don't have a choice.
We'll shake them off all at once.
Iori, have the supergravity cannon on standby.
What?!
We're jumping straight in again?
Sidekick, turn 401 around.
Sidekick, understood.
W-Wait!
Doing a sidekick on the surface?!
Graviton chamber at critical degeneracy.
It's freaking hot in here!
Enemy ships now within range.
Fire supergravity cannon.
Mow them down!
All tubes, open fire!
All Nagara class ships have sunk.
No Thanatonium readings detected.
Wow, that was amazing.
Nagara...
Well done, Neesama!
Please take a seat.
Return course to 080.
Ah...
Even neglect is a sign of your love.
Captain, I-400 and I-402 are still in pursuit in our rear.
I look across the raging war and feel the steady beating of my heart

Sisters
I doubt they'd let us go.
They may not look it, but those girls are pretty persistent.
But, they're no match for 401, now that she's merged with Takao, right?
Takao...
Losing her is a great loss.
Hey!
Don't talk like I'm dead!
Oh, you're here?
Go towards the light.
I'm not dead, okay?
I may have lost my physical body,
but it's not like my union core was lost.
That's why I can manifest within the boat's self-contained control system-
Hey, what're you doing?
Cool! This is fun!
I'm happy for you, Makie.
Be careful playing with it.
Okay!
I'm not a toy!
Takao.
Thank you for saving Iona.
I... I didn't do it for her!
I... I'm glad to see you're doing okay, too.
I see.
In the end, what Kita-sensei said has come true.
We also have not found 401.
I doubt I can avoid being held responsible.
However, given the circumstances my decision was the best possible.
It's not over yet...
I can't let it end yet,
so that I can lead this world to a better tomorrow.
I see.
So, the assault on the Osakabe estate was orchestrated by Kamikage Ryuujirou.
It appears so.
Entrusting the sole vibration warhead to Chihaya Gunzou,
then attempting to dispose of Osakabe Makie, the only one who knows how to manufacture it.
Does he seek to hold the fate of this nation...
No, the entire world, in his hands?
Iona.
Please display our planned course.
Understood.
We will continue via Hawaii to our destination, San Diego.
We lost all of our perishable supplies when we sank off the shore of Iwoto,
so it'd be good if we could resupply in Hawaii.
The issue is how the Fog forces are positioned.
That is not known.
I have never made contact with the Fog forces deployed in the Americas.
What about the rest of you?
The same.
No one has made contact.
So even the Fog has factions.
Sou, how are our munitions looking?
We have 73 assorted normal warheads and 34 corrosive warheads remaining,
not to mention an unprecedented amount of firepower in general, after merging with Takao.
All clear in the engine room, too!
It's nice to have fast cooling speeds.
All right.
We will intercept 400 and 402 here.
Hey, what are you talking about?
Are you serious?
Getting to the United States was finally sounding feasible...
You were already sunk once.
This vessel has been defeated by them once before.
Is there really a chance you could win?
There is.
That's why we can fight.
But, more importantly...
...we can't afford to head for Honolulu with those two tailing us.
Iona...
We're going to do this.
Submerge.
I'll let you set the depth.
Understood, setting depth.
Directive to all crew:
The craft is entering combat mode.
We will intercept 400 and 402.
401 has submerged.
Her gravitational wave readings have greatly increased,
indicating that she has entered combat mode.
So 401 intends to engage us in battle.
Is she confident that she will win?
Let us make contact with 401.
But Takao, Kongou, and the others developed abnormal behaviour after doing so in the past.
Making contact with 401 is dangerous.
What if we monitor each other using maximum sensor settings?
Understood.
What is it, Iona?
My sisters... They are calling me.
What is this?
It has changed.
400, 402.
You have caused this change, haven't you, 401?
Me?
Are you truly of the Fog?
Who created you?
I am of the Fog.
I am just trying to grant Gunzou's wish.
And what is Chihaya Gunzou's wish?
That is...
Iona?
...difficult to express using words.
The lack of clarity is unacceptable.
It is unthinkable for anyone of the Fog.
I just...
I just knew, when he touched me for the first time.
I still do not know what Gunzou really wants.
But whatever it may be,
I will dedicate everything to ensure that it comes true.
Everything?
I fail to comprehend your reasoning.
402?
Why can I not comprehend?
Tell me why I cannot.
402, further contact is too dangerous.
Iona?
Gunzou, 400 and 402 will attack.
Maya, please release my systems from lockdown.
I have not been given that authority.
Maya...
It's a carnival!
Maya, do you remember when you first learned about the existence of pianos?
I know you're just a broken program without a union core, but...
Maya...
This is...
our...
carnival!
Quantum linkage online.
How's it feel, everyone?
Link confirmed.
Signal strength is strong.
No problems on my end, either.
We will not let you reach the North American continent.
Confirmed contact.
401 is turning around and pointing her stern toward us.
It appears to be part of her strategy to intercept us.
But the readings indicate that...
There are three 401s?
Two must be active decoys.
Only one of them is 401.
We'll know which one soon enough.
We can't distinguish 401 from the decoys?
401's quantum signature has been integrated with that of Hyuuga and the others.
Are they trying to throw us off their trail?
Do you think we'll actually confuse 400 and 402?
It's worth a try.
Hyuuga, distance yourself more.
We'll crash.
Shut it!
Unlike you guys,
I'm the only one controlling the decoy!
Hyuuga, do your best.
I will, Iona-neesama!
I see.
Hyuuga and the others are controlling the active decoys.
What do we do, then?
It changes nothing.
We will just sink all three.
Understood.
Flooding tubes 1 through 8.
Launch.
Multiple contacts, incoming at high speed!
Torpedoes!
Neesama, let me handle this!
Iori!
Cut engines.
Huh?
Just do it, now!
Same goes for you guys, too!
Let's go.
One contact, a torpedo.
Thanatonium readings.
Take that.
Damn, so close!
As long as we can detect them, we can react.
Takao, back me up on control!
Huh?
Please, Takao.
U-Understood!
401 is calling us.
What does she want?
400, 402.
You are my sisters.
I don't want to fight with you if I don't have to.
Your request cannot be granted.
You are the one who will sink,
401.
Your companions don't seem to be as friendly as you claim.
Continuing to advance.
Please, listen to me.
I don't want to sink either of you.
You believe you've already won?
You are no longer of the Fog.
Further dialogue will merely consume our resources for no reason.
Or was that your intention from the very beginning?
No, please...
Assist Haruna.
Slam the enemy head-on with sonic torpedoes!
Detecting launch of two torpedoes.
Intercepting.
Sonic torpedoes detonated at 50.
Sonar sensitivity decreasing.
Target lost.
Now, Kirishima.
Launching corrosive torpedoes!
What's wrong, 402?
Something has changed within 401.
"Something"?
Cannot assess the nature of the change.
I must fight...
Or I will sink,
and Gunzou will die.
One contact, a torpedo.
Thanatonium readings.
It's a corrosive torpedo.
Klein Field deployment will be 0.03 seconds too late.
I will take the hit.
402?!
Initiating emergency response program to corrosive torpedo.
System error.
Rate of corrosion exceeding theoretical parameters.
Reconstruction cannot keep up.
Why did you do this, 402?
I did not want you to get hurt...
Me?
Now you are just like 401.
Multiple torpedoes, incoming at high speed!
Eight contacts.
Thanatonium readings!
Stop, 400!
It's too late.
401, turn about!
Launch intercept torpedoes!
Two of eight torpedoes incoming!
Launch sound decoys.
Launching sound decoys!
I will sink you, 401.
Hyuuga, Haruna, Kirishima!
A wire trap...
Tubes 9 and 10, launch corrosive torpedoes!
400!
I am sorry, 400.
Why do you apologise?
What is the matter, 401?
Because you...
my sisters... will cease to exist.
You simply engaged enemies in combat and sunk them.
That is all.
But...
That is all.
Iona.
I'm all right.
I am Gunzou's ship.
I will go with Gunzou.
Additional ships incoming!
Ships?!
Confirm IFF, ASAP!
Engines at combat output!
Who are these guys?
Ship classes identified.
One Indiana class,
one Iowa class,
two Virginia class,
one Delaware class,
and two Lexington class ships!
What, are they American forces?
No...
These signatures...
...are the Fog.
So we averted one crisis, only to face another.
Ship contact to our rear!
Our rear?
Wait, what now?!
Closing in at high speeds!
The one who sinks 401...
...will be me.
