It was the second day of the festival. Everyone was enjoying their selves, including Enterprise who was spending some time with Ethan. After Enterprise told Ethan about her well being, Ethan decided to spend the whole day to cheer her up. The whole time, Enterprise's heart was beating really fast. She would often blush when Ethan looked at her.

(Enterprise's POV)

Why is my heart beating really fast?! Is it because of commander? She then looked at Ethan who was looking around. Is it because that I... Her thoughts were then interrupted by Ethan's voice.

Ethan: "Hey Enterprise, let's go to the archery range."

Enterprise: "Huh? But why?"

Ethan: "Just follow me."

The two then went to the archery range. When they got there, Ethan picked up a bow and handed it to her.

Enterprise: "Uhh, commander, why are you giving me this?"

Ethan: "Well, it's because I thought you would like it."

Enterprise then realized that the bow that she was holding was the newest prototype bow that the navy released.

Ethan: "I even had it designed to look like your old bow. Do you like it?"

Enterprise was shocked. She never received something this great from anyone. Tears began falling down her cheek.

Ethan: "Eh?! Enterprise? I-I'm sorry that you didn't like it."

Enterprise: "No, it's just that no one has ever been this nice to me. Thank you, commander. I will always cherish it." she said as she wiped her tears away.

Ethan: "I'm glad you liked it." he said with a smile.

Enterprise: "So, can I test it?"

Ethan: "Of course. It's yours to use."

Enterprise then went up to the target. She pulled back the string and instantly, an arrow made of energy appeared. She took a deep breath and aimed at the target. The second she released the arrow, it flew at the target at great speed piercing it.

Enterprise: "Wow, this bow is really something. It didn't even take a second for the arrow to reach the target. And it completely destroyed it too."

Ethan: "Of course it is. It's the best bow of its series."

Enterprise: " Thank you commander."

Ethan: "No problem. Anyways, wanna go back to the festival?"

Enterprise: "Sure." she said as she put her bow away.

The two then went back to the festival. When they got there, everyone was getting ready for the fireworks display. They then met Yorktown and Hornet, who were walking around.

Yorktown: "Hello commander, Enterprise."

Hornet: "Heyo Commander. What were you doing with Enterprise?" she asked with a smirk on her face.

Enterprise: "Uhh, nothing in particular." she said while blushing a little.

Hornet: "Is that so? Looks to me like you two were going out on a date."

Enterprise: "What are you talking about?!" she said with her face bright red.

Yorktown: "Now now, we mustn't pry into other people's lives Hornet. If they were going out on a date, it's their business." she said teasingly.

Enterprise: "Like I said, we weren't doing anything!"

Ethan: "Now girls, calm down."

Yorktown: "Well, we won't keep you two lovebirds from spending time together. Let's go Hornet."

The two then left them to be alone together.

Enterprise: "I swear, my sisters are always like that."

Ethan: "It's alright. Why don't we go watch the fireworks?"

Enterprise: "Yeah, alright."

The two then headed to the beach where the fireworks display will be held. As they arrived, they saw many people from outside the base that came to watch the show. After waiting for some time, the announcer told them that the fireworks show will start momentarily. Suddenly, Ethan placed his hand on Enterprise's shoulder.

Ethan: "Enterprise, did you have fun today?"

Enterprise: "Of course! I got to spend time with you and received something precious from you too. I couldn't be happier!"

Ethan: "That's good to hear."

Enterprise: "Ethan, I-"

Suddenly, She was cut off by the sound of the fireworks.

Ethan: "It's beautiful." he said as he admired the show.

Enterprise was also admiring something, but it wasn't the fireworks. She was staring at Ethan.

(Enterprises POV)

What is this feeling? Why is it that every time I see him, my heart starts to race? Maybe it's because I... Enterprise thought to herself.

Ethan: "Oh yeah! I forgot something. Enterprise, could you wait here for a second."

Enterprise: "Uhh, sure."

Ethan then went running off somewhere, leaving Enterprise. She decided to wait, but after a long time, but Ethan never came back.

Where is he? Why is he taking so long? she thought as she looked at her surroundings. She was the only one left at the beach. Suddenly, two strangers came out of nowhere and approached Enterprise.

Stranger 1: "Hey there girl. Why are you here all alone?"

Enterprise: "I, uhh"

Suddenly, one of the strangers grabbed her arm.

Stranger 2: "Why don't you come with us? We'll show you a good time."

Enterprise: "Eww, no way! Get away from me you creepy bastard!"

The stranger then tried to take her with him, but Enterprise kicked him in the balls.

Stranger 2: "Ouch! Hey, that hurt you bitch!"

Enterprise: "You're the one who attacked me! I was just-"

Suddenly, someone from behind covered her mouth with a cloth until she passed out.

Stranger 3: "Sweet dreams..."

Near the park...

Ethan: "Ugh, my head..." he said as he tried to get up.

Ethan tried to remember what happened to him. He then remembered someone hitting him in the head. As he was passing out, he remembered the person saying something about Enterprise. A worried expression appeared on his face as he ran back towards the beach. When he got there, the beach was empty. No one was there.

(Ethan's POV)

Where is Enterprise? Did something happen to her? he thought as he looked for Enterprise. Suddenly, a girl with green hair and cat ears came running towards Ethan.

Akashi: "Commander, we have a serious problem nya!"

Ethan: "What is it?"

Akashi: "When I was cleaning up after the festival ended, I saw 3 strangers approaching Enterprise and they took her away nya!"

Ethan: "Where did they take her?!"

Akashi: "I saw them heading towards the unused warehouse."

Ethan: "OK. Akashi, I need you to call the police. I'm going after them."

Akashi: "Are you sure nya? Why don't we just wait for the police to-"

Ethan: "There's no way I can do that!" Ethan shouted.

Akashi: "But..."

Ethan: "I'm going. I have to save her."

Akashi: "Then at least take this with you nya."

She handed Ethan a pistol.

Ethan: "OK. Thanks, Akashi."

Akashi: "Be careful nya."

Ethan then went to the warehouse. When he got there, he could hear some people talking. Ethan decided to take a closer look at the warehouse. He then saw Enterprise tied to a chair.

Enterprise: "What do you want from me you bastards?"

Bastard 1: "I would shut your mouth if I were you."

Bastard 2: "Yeah. All we want is to meet your so-called 'commander'."

Enterprise: "Why do you want to meet him?"

Bastard 1: "You really ask a lot of questions, don't you?"

As they were talking, Ethan pulled out his gun and aimed for one of the guys. As he was about to fire, someone hit his head, making him pass out.

A few minutes later...

Ethan woke up to someone pouring water on his face.

Bastard 1: "So you finally came Ethan."

Ethan: "*cough* Who are you people?!"

Bastard 1: "We are the ones that got our rights stolen by you!"

Ethan: "Huh?! What are you talking about?"

Bastard 2: "You see, we are from the same world. We were sucked into this game. When we realized that we were in Azur Lane, we thought that we could become commanders, but they rejected us!"

Bastard 3: "Then out of nowhere, this nobody showed up and stole our rightful place."

Bastard 1: "So, we would like to get some payback."

Ethan: "What kind of payback?"

Bastard 1: "You'll see."

He then went to Enterprise and grabbed her face.

Bastard 1: "You seem to be attached to her."

Ethan: "I swear if you touch her I will fucking kill you!"

Bastard 1: "Well, then let's test that."

He then started to violate Enterprise. As Ethan watched, his anger began to rise.

Enterprise: "Stop..."

Bastard 1: "Ohh, but were just getting started."

Ethan: "You son of a bitch! I'll fucking kill you I swear!"

The other two then began to hit Ethan in the face.

Bastard 2: "You should shut up! You deserve this."

As he continued to violate Enterprise, Ethan became even angrier. Suddenly, he broke free of his restraints and grabbed both of their heads and smashed them together until they passed out.

Bastard 1: "What?!"

Ethan: "You're next, you bastard!"

The guy then tried to run away, but then Ethan reached for a knife and threw it at his leg. The guy then fell down weeping for forgiveness.

Bastard 1: "Please don't hurt me."

Ethan: "It's too late for that now! You hurt Enterprise, now I'm gonna make you pay!"

The bastard was about to lose when he saw Ethan's gun and grabbed it. He then shot Ethan's leg. The pain from the shot made Ethan collapse.

Bastard 1: "Look who's down now because he played the hero!"

He then shot Ethan several times in the stomach, legs, and arms.

Bastard 1: "Now, you die."

Enterprise: "Ethan!"

Suddenly, the police arrived at yhe scene.

Police: "Police! Get on the ground now!"

The bastard then lowered his gun and surrendered. He was then taken into custody.

Police: "We have an injured civilian here! Call the medics!"

Ethan could barely hear what the police officers were saying. As he was passing out, he heard Enterprise's voice calling out to him. After that, he blacked out.

Hey guys/girls. Sorry, this chapter took so long. I was busy for the whole week. Anyway, thank you for reading and see you all later.
