Despite it... There's a small light of hope...

It's those who seek to heal Kevin & accept that the past in his homeworld has happened... Unlike those who seek to drag it back or sculpt him into theirs... And divided... Like Akagi & Kaga...

But... they'll make new ones with him... Together. And currently... The Current Members are known...

They know they're risking much... As the Yanderes are often more willing to cause harm & innocent casualties...

But, Unlike the Memory Crusaders (Memory Loss is Betrayal) & Blank Canvas (Memory Loss = Opportunity)... They have a common goal. And united...

Heal his memories. Step by step. If he's unable to remember them...

Then they can make some new memories together...

And most importantly...

Protect him. From both the Canvas & Crusaders.

IJN Takao (De Facto Leader)

Nickname: Unyielding Samurai.

Potential Clash: IJN Atago (Blank Canvas)

Info: Sister of IJN Atago. Despite the heartbreak of seeing the Man who sold the port, now suffering retrograde amnesia... She understands that what happened in the past of his world... They couldn't change it... But, she'll not let the Painters or Crusaders break him ever further... And she knows, she can't afford to be fearful.

Even if that's her own Sister Ship.

"I won't let you be turned or forced by them, Kevin... That is my promise."

IJN Ayanami (De Facto 2nd in Command)

Nickname: Heroic Demon.

Info: She still remembers him. A Guardian Angel & Brother-like to her... And while that's gone, and the man she once loved is now but a husk of his former self... Yet... Ayanami would never abandon him. Because... He's just like her. But different in terms of scenarios.

"He's just like me, desu... But... Too much suffering... I won't let them harm you, desu."

IJN Shoukaku & IJN Zuikaku

Nickname: Birds of the Sky.

Info: Unlike the situation with Akagi & Kaga... And potentially Takao & Atago... These two Cranes of the 5th Carrier Division? They didn't fall. Because to them, their Teitoku deserved better. And being forced back or molded by the Obsessed Shipgirls? Not gonna happen.

"If he has lost the past, then let us help him build a future & rebuild his memories..." Shoukaku.

"... and if not, then let our new bond be more than enough!" Zuikaku.

IJN Shiranui

Nickname: Tail of the Guardians

Info: On the surface, she's still cold and uninterested in what happened to Kevin... However... Takao has noticed that the supplies they have seem to have doubled, with the same cost... Along with secretly consulting with USSF Technicians and Psychologists on how to improve his memories... Even if that's impossible... She'll make sure what's left of him will be protected.

And for the Quiet Guardians? They got themselves a Logistical Tail, and it was much needed.

"His scars speak louder than memories... I'll tend to what's left, not chase what's gone."

"Make it count. Don't let them win." Shiranui to the Guardians' New Recruit.

"NYAAAAAAAA?!?!?! DON'T INVOLVE ME IN THIS, NYA!!!" Akashi, preferring her Gems to this. "DEAD CATS CAN'T DO ANYTHING, NYA!!!"

IJN Houshou

{GIFTwolf4001, A Little Inspiration for You... If you're alive, that is.}

Nickname: Diplomatic Mother.

Potential Clash: IJN Mikasa (Memory Crusader)

Info: If Takao leads the Military of the Quiet Guardians... Houshou would be the Diplomat. Always the peacekeeper of the Sakura Empire. She felt bad about what happened to Kevin, but she remained a caring and doting mom to the Fallen Phoenix. As she saw a broken soul... Not a Hollow Shell or Blank Canvas...

"He carries enough burdens already. Let us not become another chain upon his soul."

They knew that they had a very dangerous battle ahead... But, they shall not yield...

For Peace? It belongs to both the Fallen and Lost Souls...

Not to the Obsessed.

New Recruits:

IJN Kawakaze.

Nickname: Loyal Wolf.

Info: While Devoted, she's not obsessed with the Admiral. His Leadership & courage are the reasons why she followed the man. Even in a broken soul... He's still who he is, just broken differently, to Kawakaze. And sworn to protect him.

"I swore myself to the Admiral's path, not his memories."

Reason for joining: Taihou's Intrusion.
