Disclaimer: "The UnderTaker" and "Nanaki" are characters with a made-up name and have nothing to do with anyone in real life whatsoever. 

She escorted me to the office of the Ironblood HQ along with Gneisenau who is still having dreams about me. I didn't know who TheUnderTaker was after Scharnhorst told me the name of the person she was talking to. I also didn't understand why would someone come up with a ridiculous name like that instead of a name everyone could tolerate. I asked Scharnhorst about why he would name himself that name. 

Scharnhorst: The UnderTaker is a very cold person. He chose that name for mostly his masculinity. 

Arthur: What's his occupation? 

Scharnhorst: He's the Kommandant of this faction; along with his colleagues. Ever since you did nothing about Zuikaku after Takao got stabbed in the abdomen; you pissed him off. He does it all the time. Taking out weak commanders who don't even deserve to have a commander title. He's targeting you for the mistake you did. 

Arthur: For that one mistake? I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. 

I was being defensive and sarcastic at the same time. 

Scharnhorst: Then why do you have that wedding ring on your finger?

Arthur: I don't want to talk about it.

The wedding story was complicated to explain since it was mostly hit and run, so I didn't tell her about the situation. 

Scharnhorst: You're under watch from the Ironblood faction after that event happened. So don't assume we're Sirens or whatever nonsense you're thinking of. 

Scharnhorst and I stopped walking and it appears to me that I have reached my destination. She knocked on the door roughly. 

???: It's open.

Scharnhorst grabbed the doorknob and opened it, revealing a figure known as TheUnderTaker. She pushed me in the office along with Gneisenau. He had a face mask to conceal his identity, showing a shadow-like vibe. His hair was short and jet black, just like my hair, and wore a commander uniform that was similar to mine but with the colors of the Ironblood faction. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were behind me, saluting with honor. There was another commander next to TheUnderTaker and I can tell he's a guy. His hair was the same color as mine and gray-colored eyes were the only difference I can indicate. He also wears the attire similar to mine too. 

Scharnhorst: We have him, the commander that was on your hitlist. 

The UnderTaker: Good. You two, scout around the HQ for any people that are trying spilling the tea on us. 

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau: Ja, Kommandant! (Yes, Commander!)

The UnderTaker closed the door after Scharnhorst and Gneisenau left the office. The UnderTaker looked at me coldly. He pointed at the chair facing his desk, commanding me to sit there. 

The UnderTaker: Sit down. 

I sat down on the chair without any hesitation. TheUnderTaker sat down on his seat and still kept his cold stare at me. 

The UnderTaker: Your name is Arthur, correct? 

I did not respond to his question because of his angry tone. 

???: He doesn't want to talk to you, he thinks he's on thin ice.

The UnderTaker: I know he's on thin ice because of what he did earlier! Answer the question, your name is Arthur, correct?!

Arthur: Affirmative...

He already has a hatred for me still.  

The UnderTaker: Do you even know what you're doing? 

Arthur: Of course; is something bothering you, sir? 

The UnderTaker: A lot of things you did is bothering me, Arthur.

Arthur: Is it mostly I did not do anything about Zuikaku after Takao died, leaving the game if I'm dealing with yandere shenanigans, not being a man and fight back, let 17 shipgirls marry me with one wedding ring, or is the fact I'm weak in general?!

The UnderTaker: Whatever you just said, you're correct. 

I knew he was watching me this whole time when those Ironblood shipgirls arrived. 

Arthur: Look, I'm just doing my job. I'm not supposed to have any sympathy for those girls anyway; I felt it's against the code of a commander to have relationships with a girl. I don't even know why you even want me in the first place despite me asking questions about this "warm welcome" from Prinz Eugen. 

The UnderTaker: Shut up! 

The UnderTaker rose from his seat.  He was already furious at me at this point. 

The UnderTaker: You're doing things the wrong way! You're supposed to fight them back! 

Arthur: I'm not strong unlike you, and that is not my fault!

I was upset by the provoking backlash TheUnderTaker is giving me. I stood my ground and explained to him why the 17 shipgirls lost their minds. 

Arthur: If I fight them back, I will be shattered into a bunch of pieces. Do you know how many commanders died from their hands?! 

The UnderTaker: None, because you're going too soft on them! You're just plain dirt to me! You, get him out of my sight! 

???: Understood, UnderTaker... 

The other commander's name was Nanaki which is I only heard from The UnderTaker. He took me out of the office to walk along with me outside. The UnderTaker didn't believe me at all even I told him about the situation. 

Arthur: No offense, but your boss is a huge jerk.

???: I apologize for earlier, he has expectations about male commanders like you. By the way, how on earth did you get married to 17 shipgirls? 

Arthur: They married me without my consent.

???: I see, and did you marry anyone besides them? 

Arthur: I didn't marry anyone since back at my high school, and all the girls rejected me. How many wives do you even have?

???: I have eight wives, all of them are proposed. You were working on a priority ship, right? 

Arthur: Based on my transcript, that's correct. You haven't introduced yourself by the way.

Nanaki: I'm Nanaki Shizuruki, the formal commander of Azur Lane. 

Arthur: And why do you work with the Ironblood? 

Nanaki: I work undercover. I still question why this base has AK-47's in the hanger. 

Arthur: They should have Mp40s, Kar98s, and P08s...

Nanaki: They do have those weapons, but I assume they're too lazy to even arm those anyway. 

Arthur: I assume the Ironblood is not what as it seems. 

All a sudden, he had empathy for me despite I'm a male. 

Nanaki: I like you as a person, Arthur. 

I respond to him in an irritated tone. 

Arthur: Don't be ridiculous, you heard what your "boss" said to me. 

Nanaki: He's wrong about you. I can prove to you why my boss is wrong. Follow me this way, Arthur. 

To be honest, he was a weirdo. He thinks it's normal to him, not taking off his mask and follow some kind of code. At least he's helping me since Takao and Jintsuu would prefer to stay hidden in the shadows and don't want the "boss" to know them as spies.

Timeskip 

Nanaki and I stopped at the same location where the tea first started from Takao and Jintsuu.  Scharnhorst and Gneisenau weren't there to observe me which reduces my anxiety for a while. Nanaki grabbed two mugs of coffee from the coffee dispenser with the Ironblood faction marking on both mugs. 

Nanaki: Care for some Kaffee? 

Arthur: Do you have Espresso instead? 

Nanaki: This place only serves German coffee; I don't think we have Espresso or Columbia in the pantries. 

Arthur: I'll try some. 

He handed me a mug. 

Nanaki: Careful, it's hot. 

I waited for the coffee to reduce its temperature.  Nanaki lifted his mask slightly; revealing his mouth and sipped his mug. 

Nanaki: I know you have been dealing with yanderes lately; how do you deal with them?

Arthur: I don't deal with them; I push them aside or ignore them. 

Nanaki: You haven't killed anyone? 

Arthur: Shot Helena on the head and shot Deutschland with a beam shot rifle. 

Nanaki: I see. In times like these, you need to show feelings towards them and make them happy. 

Arthur: How the hell am I supposed to do that if I'm not at my base?!

Nanaki: It's only when you get back to your base. Unfortunately, that won't happen.

Arthur: Let me guess, hitlist protocols that your "boss" did. 

I finished my mug of coffee before Nanaki finished his hot drink. 

Nanaki: Yes indeed Arthur; The UnderTaker is sending people to your base to kill those girls. 

Arthur: I knew it, he wants them dead. 

All of a sudden my body felt warm for some reason, but I assumed it was from the coffee. 

???: Oh my~ It's just like my child~ 

Nanaki: Someone's behind you by the way. 

Arthur: *sigh* I know,  it's Friedrich der Große. 

Friedrich der Große: You know my name already child? That's sweet~

Nanaki: Came from research right? 

Arthur: Indeed, Nanaki. And it was a complete hell hole that took me here. 

I looked at Friedrich der Große, who only smiled at me.

Friedrich der Große: Would you like a hug from me?

Arthur: I'm fine, thank you.

Nanaki: I think she's attracted to you.

Friedrich der Große: Hm? Is this one of your friends, my child? 

Her left eye locked on Nanaki's face. He only went back to finish his beverage and refused to look at Friedrich's eye.

Nanaki: Uh, no. I'm not his friend.

I know that Ironblood shipgirls are known for their power and their glory; including the ridiculous ways of telling if someone was a complete liar. However, their desires are unknown and hard to identify, so I couldn't tell about what do they specifically want. 

Friedrich der Große: Is your colleague doing alright?

I slowly shook my head. She smiled at me that fills her own heart; Nanaki, on the other hand, kept drinking his coffee and remained silent.

Friedrich der Große: It's a pleasure to meet you and your colleague. Since you two don't want me to disturb you; I'll be on my way then. 

She walked away from me and Nanaki and looked back at me with a wink from her eye. 

Nanaki: I don't like the looks of Freidrich der Große. She seems a little bit off though. 

Arthur: At least she's not Enterprise. That snake, saying that she's not crazy...

Nanaki: You have hatred towards Enterprise do you? 

I slowly nodded my head in agreement. 

Nanaki: I know a way how to destroy her. I'll take you to my armory.

The fowl presence of Friedrich lurking in the shadows after she left the cafeteria has only begun.  

Timeskip (10 minutes later)

Nanaki guided me to his armory of weapons which is filled with unique weapons.

Nanaki: Tell me: are you a melee or a ranged type of person?

Arthur: I think I'm a ranged person.

He removed some kind of equipment and handed it to me. 

Nanaki: Here you go. 

Arthur: Isn't this a shipgirl would normally use? 

Nanaki: I have this lying around, thought I might give it to you. This rig includes 6 Prototype Triple 152mm main guns, 3 on both sides, 2 Quintuple 533mm Magnetic Torpedoes both sides, and dual fin funnels equipped on the back. 

Arthur: Do I have to give these back to you? 

Nanaki: You can keep it, it's yours now. 

I looked at the rigging he gave me; despite that, it belonged to a shipgirl.

Arthur: How do you put this on? 

Nanaki: It works like a backpack. The attachment point attaches to your back. 

I slowly equipped the powerful rigging on my back. It felt very light for some reason. 

Nanaki: It's not heavy since it's currently deactivated. Those guns will fire at anyone who you think is the enemy. For the fin funnels, just whistle to release them and whistle a lot of times to command the fin funnels to kill anyone. There is a built-in A.I that will guide you all the weaponry of this rigging once it activates. This will help you to engage and defend against Enterprise. 

Arthur: If I remember how to whistle that is. I haven't done it since I was young. 

Nanaki closed the armory and looked at me. 

Nanaki: You'll get it eventually, Arthur.  I know a fast escape route to the outskirts of the Ironblood HQ that will get you to your base. I'm getting you out of here as soon as possible.

Arthur: Is it because you have to help someone out? 

Nanaki: Well yes and no. One: Enterprise is your main issue, not that commander who is giving you a hard time. And two: you don't want to draw attention to anyone who works here. 

Arthur: Alright, I'll follow your lead. 

Timeskip again...

Nanaki guided me to the docks and pointed towards the ocean.  The stormy winds were blowing along with some falling snowflakes and the ambiance was eerie. It was only us that was around and no one else. 

Nanaki: This is the quickest route to the outskirts of this place. Base on your transcript, your base is far from here, facing to the west from here. From where we at, we head north only. 

Arthur: Just north only? 

Nanaki: Just north only. There might be a blockade to prevent us from leaving; therefore, we travel at night time.  

Arthur: Nightfall sounds good, but why though?

Nanaki: It gets busy during the day and those girls are like mad dogs. They can smell your scent from a mile away. One time someone attempted to escape during the day, he was executed point-blank. Bismarck and Tirpitz are the ones who can orchestrate any murder they desire. 

Arthur: All I know was either blackmail or dumb games coming from them. You're telling me that they are cold-blooded killers?!

Nanaki: I'm afraid so; but Bismarck playing games with you and Tirpitz blackmails, that's odd. 

Arthur: I think they might be manipulating me.

Nanaki: They could be. The Ironblood shipgirls could harvest your emotions and then uses it as a weapon and manipulating might befall in that category.   We need to leave once night falls, but first I need to pack my things and check myself out. Let's head back to the cafeteria, shall we? 

I nodded my head in agreement. 

Arthur: Sure thing. 

We started to exit the docks and head to the cafeteria. But on our way, I stumbled upon someone on accident.

Arthur: Oh sorry ma'am. I should watch where I'm going. 

???: Shikikan, is that you? 

I recognized that voice and the appearance of the woman. The woman with light purple eyes with brown hair like the color in chocolate, a long dress in a combination of red, light, purple just like her eyes, and a shade of dark gray. The one obvious thing that I know it's her is the crimson red umbrella she carries around. 

Arthur: A-Amagi? What are you doing here?

Amagi: I'm visiting someone, why? 

Arthur: I haven't seen you like days or weeks. You're still alive at least, that's what matters.

Amagi sighed. 

Amagi: I was worried about you. I thought for a second I never get to see you again. 

Nanaki: You're from the Crimson Axis! 

Amagi: Well yes and no.  And who you might be?

I introduced Nanaki to Amagi that answers her question of who Nanaki is. 

Arthur: He's Nanaki Shizuruki, a former commander. 

Amagi gave Nanaki a heartwarming smile. 

Amagi: Nanaki Shizuruki, that's a cute name. Anyway, where are you two heading? 

Arthur: To the cafeteria. We need to discuss what's up with Enterprise right now. 

Amagi: Oh her? Why didn't you say so? I know what's she's up to while you were gone. 

Arthur: You do have the tea it seems. Wait, aren't you visiting someone right now? 

Amagi: I was, but I guess we're on the same boat on Enterprise's issues. I'll visit them later, but for now, I'll go with you to the cafeteria. 

Then I heard the sounds of footsteps from afar distance. 

Arthur: We should get going, I'm afraid we're not the only ones here.

Nanaki: I know that already, you don't have to tell us. 

We started to head to the cafeteria with Amagi tagging along with us. I suddenly stopped walking for a minute while Nanaki and Amagi went ahead for me. I sense something wasn't right about myself. Nanaki and Amagi looked back at me when they realized that I was behind them. 

Amagi: Shikikan, is something wrong? 

I looked at Amagi and then to my hands. 

Arthur: Why did you want to marry me in the first place? 

Amagi: Oh that? Well, I know having 16 other girls wanted you to themselves is a hard thing to do, but you were the perfect match for us. 

Arthur: I'm not the one you were looking for, looks can be deceiving. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just an ordinary guy. 

Nanaki interrupted the conversation with a grain of salt.

Nanaki: Enough of you chit-chatting about romance, this isn't the right time to do this! Someone is following us and we need to act fast pronto! So stop talking about your stupid relationship and get going! 

Arthur: Alright Nanaki, calm down. 

Nanaki pointed at me as if he's threatening me. 

Nanaki: Look, I don't care if you were married without your consent! Enterprise is our main issue and nothing else! 

Amagi: He's right, we need to deal with Enterprise first. 

Nanaki: The cafeteria's this way. Let's hurry before that person will catch up to us!

Arthur: Got it. 

After getting sidetracked about my relationship we finally reached the cafeteria and headed inside the facility. 

Freidrich der Große's POV (Any text that looks messed up represents a different person.) 

I was walking around to find out where my child was. He seems attractive to me, and I hope I can win his heart with my cuteness.   But I felt that something is taking control of myself. I put my hands on my head and the pain was inevitable. 

Freidrich der Große: *grunts* Who's doing this?! Who are you?!

I heard was a voice similar to mine, but demented and twisted.

There goes the head pain again and it's hurting severely. I put my hands on my head and trying to make the pain stop until I collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

Arthur's POV

The cafeteria was very quiet and eerier the last time I been here. 

Nanaki: People don't usually come until the evening, so it's always silent. 

I took a seat next to Nanaki, facing Amagi. She closed her crimson red umbrella and placed it beside her. 

 Nanaki: Alright Amagi, what's been Enterprise up to while he was gone?

Amagi: Enterprise is starting to go more insane now than I can remember. She wants to kill everyone you know for a long time. 

I took a deep sigh of disappointment. 

Arthur: *sighs* So typical of her getting rid of the girls I was oathed to. 

Amagi: Including your two secretaries, Takao and Jintsuu. 

Arthur: That's true, they were with me most of the time. 

Amagi: And worse, she's killing you last. 

I paused for a second after Amagi said that Enterprise wants to kill me. She wants to kill me, but for what reason?

Nanaki: Why would she want him dead besides other threats? 

I slowly removed my focus lens, rubbed my eyes, and put them back on.

Arthur: It's because I shot Helena on the head. 

Flashback

Helena: *chuckles* Pathetic... You are so-

I shot Helena on the head. She stopped finishing her sentence and fell backward, landing on the floor. I didn't realize I committed my first murder. I slowly shoved the pistol in my pocket. 

Arthur: I had to do it, Unicorn... I know you're going to be mad at me, but I have to do it.

Unicorn: Onii chan...

Arthur: You did see me shooting her at the head, did you?

Unicorn: Yes. I didn't know you would do that.

Arthur: Let me just get rid of the evidence, be right back Unicorn.

I got up and excused myself to get rid of Helena. Unicorn glanced at me with her beady eyes when I headed out of the office. Once I was outside; I threw Helena in the ocean, and she was out of my sights.

Arthur: *sighs* Jintsuu's safe for now...

I headed to a closet, grabbed a mop with a bucket of water to get rid of the mess I made outside the office. After cleaning up the evidence, I drained the bucket of water into some plants and returned to the office. But something wasn't right at all. Since I shot Helena on the head and threw her to the ocean, I felt like that someone liked her as a friend. There's not only one who liked her, but it was also someone I dealt with before who knew her very well. 

 Flashback ends

Arthur: Enterprise must've been pissed when she realized that Helena was murdered. 

For a second Amagi would question my decision to murder Helena if her life's at stake. She was speechless after I told her about Helena's death. Nanaki explained to me that she was a nuisance to me. 

Nanaki: She was a nuisance to you, Arthur. You did the right thing to take her out. 

Amagi: I honestly don't know what to say anymore.

I defended myself to prove that I'm not horrible. 

Arthur: Look, if I didn't do it; she would've ended you and the other girls with no warning. I guess I am a bad commander after all...

???: You're just scratching the surface, Arthur. 

I looked at the two figures, and I recognized who they were. 

Arthur: Takao and Jintsuu, what are you doing here?  

Jintsuu: We've been looking for you. What's Amagi doing here? 

Amagi looked at Jintsuu and Takao. They were carrying a female adult on their shoulders. 

Amagi: I was visiting someone and I happen to run into them. 

Takao: Alright then; but first things first, how're things back at base? 

Amagi's response wasn't pleasant to anyone, but it was mostly towards the girls I was oathed to. 

Amagi: Not doing well, the Sakura Empire girls are trying to maintain their sanity after the Commander went missing. Akagi, Atago, Shoukaku, Zuikaku, and Souryuu are losing their minds. So Kaga and Hiryuu are doing their best to calm them down. 

Jintsuu: And what about Taihou and the other girls? 

Amagi: The others are fine, but this one maid is like getting a picture of the commander, getting her special cream, spilled on the photo, and started to lick all over it with her tongue.  And Taihou is searching for the Commander everywhere in the base. 

Nanaki: Don't tell me it's something disgusting. I'll vomit if it is I think what it is. 

I honestly would vomit too if it's one of her drinks she offered me to drink. 

Amagi: It's her favorite flavor that she sabotages the Commander with, vanilla cream.  At least she cleaned the lamented photo after that. 

Jintsuu: Let's not jump into conclusions about Belfast; you said that you were a bad commander, Arthur.

I took a deep sigh of a huge disappointment.

Arthur: I said I was one. I failed my duty to be one anyway.

Jintsuu: For over to deal with like what: 17 yanderes and being a sissy?! Just shut up and move on!

Takao: That's enough, Jintsuu. We must not blow our covers if we don't want to draw any attention. 

Arthur: You hate me, don't you Jintsuu? 

Jintsuu: A little bit. But it's the truth, you do expose your weakness most of the time. 

She was dead serious about me exposing my weakness. She took deep breaths after giving me a backlash. 

Amagi: Jintsuu, calm yourself for now. By the way, why is she doing here?

Amagi was mentioning about Fredrich der Große, who was unconscious. 

Takao: We found her knocked out on the ground, so we brought her with us. 

Jintsuu and Takao placed Fredrich der Große down on the floor and Nanaki placed his hand on Friedrich der Große's forehead. After a few seconds have passed, he removed his hand. 

Nanaki: She's still alive, but her head feels warm. But just as I expected, she feels a little bit off. 

I looked at Fredrich der Große's unconscious body. 

Arthur: She's trying to bait us. 

Amagi: What do you mean, Shikikan? 

I grabbed one of her arms, laid it straight out, and check her pulse by placing my fingers firmly where the base of her thumb was. 

Arthur: It's her pulse, I can feel some beats coming from her. 

Before I started to press my fingers more firmly, Takao started to panic. 

Takao: Arthur, you shouldn't be doing that! You're going to fall victim to one of the classic blunders! 

I dropped her arm after I finish checking her pulse. She didn't move a single muscle after I released my hands from her arm.  

Arthur: You were saying, Takao? 

Takao: *sighs* You were like scaring me if you did that! Who knows she can just grab your arm with no warning!

Nanaki pointed his finger at Takao and Jintsuu.

Nanaki: You didn't need to be overdramatic. Besides, aren't you two not supposed to draw any unwanted attention?

Jintsuu: Yeah Takao, you didn't need to get worried over anything. 

She nudged Takao on the shoulder with her elbow. 

Takao: I get nervous sometimes, I can't help it. 

Nanaki checked the time on his watch. I adjusted my focus lens and kept staring at Friedrich for a minute. 

Nanaki: Perfect timing, it's getting dark. 

He tapped my shoulder for me to pay attention to him. 

Arthur: Is it time to leave? 

Nanaki nodded his head in agreement. Jintsuu, Takao, and Amagi were looking at us, clueless. For them to understand what's going on, I told them the plan about leaving the Ironblood HQ. 

Jintsuu: Guess our work here is done, this place is already a mess, to begin with. Where do we escape? 

Nanaki: From the docks. You four need to leave immediately and get back to your base. I need to get some things from my armory, so give me 10 minutes. 

Arthur: But you will get caught by the Ironblood shipgirls! They're active around this time!

Amagi: Don't worry about that, Shikikan. 

Amagi picked up her red umbrella and smiled at me. 

Amagi: I'm going with Nanaki, so I'm buying you some time. Just get out of here for now. 

What was Amagi doing?! She just can't abandon us right now!

Jintsuu: Why hold them off all of the sudden?

I refused to go without Amagi. I don't want another death count that will affect me later on. 

Arthur: I'm not letting you get killed by them!

Amagi: Don't worry about it; after all, they are my friends I need to pay a visit to. Therefore, you need to get going right now. 

Jintsuu: You heard her, Arthur! We need to get going! 

Jintsuu tugged my arm, but I didn't know what to say anymore. Then, Amagi came to me and kissed me on the lips. That's the same area where Belfast, Neptune, and Hood gave their smooches. 

Amagi: *giggles* I still love you, no matter what you are. 

I looked away from Amagi in despair. 

Arthur: No hard feelings, Amagi...

We departed our ways. Amagi went with Nanaki while I, Takao, and Jintsuu head for the docks. It was a hard decision to leave Amagi, but thankfully, she's buying time for us. 

Friedrich der Große's POV? 

I slowly woke up after I heard the sound of a closing door. I didn't remember how I even get here in the first place. I gave myself an evil grin and my pupils shrunk to the size of a small pea.

I giggled slowly and laughed like a cute maniac for my desire to finish off what my weaker self calls him "my child." Thunder and lighting were roaring in anger and huge storms were brewing as I was ready to murder the foolish Kommandant.

Arthur's POV

We ran quickly towards the dock area and time was slipping by like melted ice cubes. The departure was a priority essential to escape instead of anyone else. 

Jintsuu: You got everything on Enterprise, Takao? 

Takao pulled out a tote bag and opened the flap. There was some kind of documents in the bag. She then closed the flap. 

Takao: I did. Now let's get out of here! You ready, Arthur? 

I nodded my head in agreement. 

Takao: Alright then, bon voyage! 

Wisdom cubes emerge from thin air, revealing their riggings and they hopped to the watery surface.  I was the last one to jump into the water and was nervous about going in. 

Jintsuu: Hurry, jump in!  

Arthur: I can't do this, I'm just a human!

Jintsuu: Just get in, it'll be fine! 

I slowly took a deep breath and jumped off the wooden boardwalk.  It feels that time has slowed down to me as I was all ready to move on and take on Enterprise. This is what I needed to do and redeem myself from this absolute clustered mess I had in the past. But one thing that stops me from doing this is that people wanted me dead in their hands both figuratively and literally. I almost touched the water when suddenly I was grabbed by something on my shoulder and I felt a sharp pain to the stomach. I looked behind me and it was Friedrich der Große who stabbed me. But behind Friedrich der Große was that commander again, The UnderTaker. 

The UnderTaker: Look what the cat dragged in. Very expected of you trying to escape this place, dummkopf. (Idiot.) 

Friedrich der Große looked at my blue eyes. She started to smile at me and that cute smile she made makes me want to punch her in the face. She entangled me with her riggings that have two shark heads with vicious teeth and have an opening that will blast my head into ashes. I looked back and saw Takao and Jintsuu getting pinned down by Roon and Prinz Eugen. They attempted to break free from their grips by kicking them, but Roon and Prinz Eugen were strong enough to endure those attacks. 

Jintsuu: It's a trap!

Takao: Get your hands off my back, you sick traitor! 

I was bleeding from my mouth due to being stabbed in the stomach. That sick UnderTaker wants me dead for sure, including Friedrich der Große. I stared at The UnderTaker coldly before Friedrich's riggings slowly constricting my body. 

Arthur: Why are...you doing this?!

The UnderTaker: I have a mindset that wants me to kill you for your act that violates the code of commanders and being an embarrassment to all males! You're cringy, disgusting, pathetic, and overall a sissy! I'm doing what is right to the strong males, unlike you! 

The riggings were crushing me and could break my rigging into pieces. Friedrich der Große took one last look at me before she commanded her riggings to rip my head off. 

Arthur: Friedrich! What are you doing to me?! Put me down!

Something was wrong about Friedrich der Große. The way she talks makes me feel disturbed and uncomfortable. Her riggings opened their mouths and their teeth were close to my head. 

Arthur: Who is that person I ended up killing!?

Side note: I cut out some parts that didn't make sense at all replaced them. I apologize in advance if some texts are hurting your eyes, it showed an evil presence that applies to Friedrich der Große's split personality.  Also,  it's a little bit longer than the original.
