Inside the a warehouse Z23 sets a box on a shelf as Echo and Javelin sweep next to her.

  "There we go." Z23 says.

  "It really was quite dusty, huh?" Javelin questions.

  "Because nobody really comes here."

  Echo loudly sneezes. "GUH! So dusty!"

  Ayanami walks over. "I'm tired."

  "Me too." Kalk and Hobby walk over.

  Z23 smiles. "Then why don't we go home and have some tea?"

  The group then moves throughout the warehouse, looking for Laffey.

  "Laffey-chan?" Javelin calls out.

  "Miss Laffey?" Hobby calls out.

  "We're going home!" Echo shouts.

  They then all spot a rge treasure chest sitting in one of the aisles. They all walks up to it in confusion.

  "I don't remember seeing this before." Z23 says in confusion.

  "Is that a treasure chest?" Ayanami asks.

  "Is there money inside?" Echo asks. "For sweets!"

  "Why don't we open it?" Javelin suggests.

  "Isn't finding Laffey more important?" Z23 asks.

  Javelin just shoots forward and sms the top of the treasure chest open.

  "Hey!" Z23 shouts in shock. "What did I just say?"

  Inside the chest is many jewels.

  "Wow, look at this treasure!" Javelin says in amazement, but also in the chest is a sleeping Laffey. "And Laffey-chan, too!"

  "What?!" Z23 shouts in shock, again.

  "We found her." Ayanami says.

  "What a weird pce to sleep." Echo points out.

  "Why would she be in the treasure chest?" Z23 asks in annoyance, but then sighs. "Come on, Laffey, wake up." She shakes Laffey's shoulder. Laffey opens her ruby eyes and sits up. "We're going home."

  "Where am I?" Laffey asks, and Z23 grows confused. "Who are you?"

  "Huh?" Kalk tilts her head in confusion.

  "Laffey-chan, are you still sleeping?" Ayanami asks.

  "I'd say she slept too much." Ayanami remarks.

  "I'm..." Laffey looks down at her hands. "I can't remember. I... who am I?"

  The six girls in front of Laffey look at her in worry.

  "Did she... lose her memory?" Ayanami questions, and the others gnce at her.

  "What?!" The five others shout.

  .

  .

  The girls are in the courtyard of the Academy and Laffey sits at the fountain.

  "She doesn't really look any different." Z23 states. "Something feels off, though."

  "What is it though?" Hobby puts a hand on her chin.

  "Laffey-chan, is there anything you still remember?" Javelin asks.

  Laffey thinks for a second. "I feel like I... went to sleep because I was sleepy."

  "That's nothing new." Z23 sweat drops.

  "Did the jewels in the treasure chest maybe look like a good pillow?" Javelin questions.

  "Pillow?" Laffey asks.

  "No, jewels are too hard." Z23 says. "She wouldn't have thought they'd make a good pillow." Laffay stares at her chest, as she puts a hand on Laffey's head. "Amnesia, huh? let's hope it's temporary."

  "Pillow." Laffey reaches forward and grabs Z23.

  "Pillow?"

  Laffey shoves her face into Z23 breast.

  Echo, Kalk and Hobby blush at the sight.

  "That's not appropriate." Kalk mutters.

  "Laffey!" Z23 shouts as her face turns red. "What are you doing?!"

  Laffey sighs and removes her head from Z23's bosom. "That's not quite it."

  "Wh-What do you mean by that?!"

  Laffey puts her hands on her head. "I want something soft that could cradle my whole head."

  Z23 looks down at her breasts with dead fish eyes.

  "Wait a minute." Ayanami starts. "Maybe if we can find a pillow that fits Laffey perfectly..."

  "Her memory might come back!" Javelin finishes.

  Echo sms a fist into her palm. "It might just work! Though, where are we gonna find such a formidable pillow?"

  .

  .

  Formidable, in a bikini, sits on the beach petting a cat.

  "Kitty..." Formidable smiles.

  "Formidable-san,-" Javelin starts, causing said girl to panic. "-could you help us?"

  Behind Formidable stands Javelin and Ayanaymi with Laffey between them. Echo, Kalk and Hobby stand a little ways to the side.

  Formidable turns to the three. "With what?"

  Z23 slides up behind Formidable. "I'm sorry. This will only take a moment."

  Z23 holds Formidable as Javelin and Ayanami shove Laffey between Formidable's breasts.

  Kalk and Hobby blush while Echo blushes but gives a thumbs up.

  "Excuse you!" Formidable shouts as Laffey starts to grope her. "What do you think you're doing?"

  Laffey moves out of the rge treasures she's groping. "That's not quite it."

  "I see." Javelin says.

  "Can't there be a better way of doing this?" Kalk asks.

  "I don't see one." Echo states as she nods her head and covers her nose.

  "Let's move on." Ayanami pushes Laffey away, with the help of Javelin.

  Z23 bows to Formidable. "Thank you for your time." She follows after everyone.

  .

  .

  In the gardens Belchan is practicing her tea making in the gazebo, as her older sister, Belfast, watches.

  "We're sorry for interrupting." Ayanami apologizes as she and everyone else approaches.

  "You're just in time." Belfast smiles. "Belchan was about to serve some of her--"

  Laffey sticks her head between Belfasts breasts.

  Belchan nearly drops her teapot in shock. She looks towards her teammates, only to see Hobby and Kalk looking away while Echo gives her a thumbs up.

  "This is..." Laffey starts. "This is..."

  "Um, excuse me..." Belfast calls out. "What is the meaning of this?"

  "We're trying to help Laffey." Z23 informs.

  "So what do you think, Laffey-chan?" Javelin asks.

  "Is it a good enough pillow?" Hobby asks.

  Laffey removes her head and continues to sit on Belfast's p. "The size is a little off."

  Javelin hums in question. "The size, huh?"

  Ayanami and Javelin drag Laffey away.

  "That narrows the potential fits down." Ayanami states.

  Kalk, Echo and Hobby follow after the three.

  Z23 bows to Belfast and Belchan. "We apologize for the inconvenience." She follows after the others.

  .

  .

  Honolulu holds a costume inside her room.

  "I'm supposed to wear this?" Honolulu questions. "Is Louis messing with me?"

  Her door sms open, causing her to panic.

  "Hello!" Javelin shouts.

  Honolulu turns around. "Hold on!" But she ends up tripping and falling onto the ground.

  Honolulu gets wrapped up in her costume and some ribbon.

  "What are you doing?" Ayanami asks.

  "This is because you barged in here!" Honolulu defends herself.

  Z23 walks over to the downed Honolulu. "I'm sorry it's so sudden. The thing is, Laffey-chan seems to have amnesia."

  "What? But that's an emergency!"

  "She's perfectly positioned, Laffey-chan." Javelin informs.

  Laffey walks over and straddles Honolulu's waist. "Huh?" Honolulu questions. "What?" Laffey makes gripping motions with her hands. "Wait, what are you doing?! The commander's the only one for me!"

  Laffey ys her head between Honolulu's breasts and she seems to fall asleep.

  Kalk and Hobby sigh and look away. Echo gives two thumbs up whole a blood trickles down her nose.

  Honolulu has a rge blush with an annoyed look. "What is she doing?"

  "Q-Quiet!" Javelin shushes Honolulu.

  Everyone watches Laffey sleep, but she soon opens her eyes.

  Laffey sits up. "Close..."

  Ayanami looks down at Honolulu. "Honolulu-san isn't right, either."

  Javelin puts a hand on her chin. "This has become a complicated case."

  "Well, there are many girls on base with rge bosoms." Echo informs. "So we have plenty of people."

  Ayanami and Javelin drag Laffey out of the room. "Next."

  "I feel like we're really close to solving this."

  The rest follow the three.

  "We're very sorry, Honolulu-san." Z23 calls out.

  .

  .

  Alicorn rounds a coner and spots the group.

  "Hey girls." Alicorn waves. "I heard you were having some problems with Laffey, I wanted tos ee if I could help."

  Laffey looks at Alicorn's small chest. "Too small." She walks away.

  Alicorn's jaw drops and she gasps in shock, her whole being turning white.

  "Sorry, Miss Alicorn." Echo waves as they all pas her.

  "Sorry, Alicorn-san." Z23 says as she passes.

  The group leaves Alicorn behind.

  "Gah... Too... Small?" Alicorn falls to the ground.

  .

  .

  The party arrives in the cafeteria.

  Javelin looks around. "Is there someone here who might be suitable?"

  Zuikaku walks up to the group with an unhappy look. "Hey, you. Apparently you've been going around being weird. What do you think you're doing?"

  "Expining might take a while." Javelin informs.

  Ayanami points at Zuikaku's chest. "What about those."

  "I can already tell they're not it." Laffey informs.

  Zuikaku grows shocked. "What is that supposed to mean?"

  Laffey turns away. "Let's just say they're not my type."

  Echo giggles and wipes some drool from the corner of her mouth.

  "There you have it." Ayanami says, and the group leaves.

  "Wait, now..." Zuikaku calls out. "Wh-What the hell?!"

  The group runs about the base, having Laffey put her head between their breasts.

  At the end of the day everyone returns to Laffey's room and they plop down onto her bed.

  "What should we do?" Javelin asks.

  "Hobby has no idea." Hobby and Kalk lie against each other.

  "We can't just leave her like this." Z23 says.

  "I'm a bit tired now." Ayanami informs.

  Echo yawns and stretches.

  "We've been looking ever since we cleaned up the warehouse." Z23 points out and then yawns. "Why don't we take a little rest?"

  Everyone falls asleep, and Laffey stares at them all. Then she ys down on the bed between everyone.

  "I kind of feel... calm." Laffey starts falling asleep.

  .

  .

  Javelin wakes up and she rubs her eyes as she sits up. Then she notices many people in the room, mainly the ones they vioted.

  "What..." Javelin questions. "What are you all doing?"

  "It seemed like Laffey-san was acting strange." Belfast starts.

  "We're pretty worried about you now." Honolulu finishes.

  Belchan waves as she holds a pte of tea.

  "You guys..." Javelin smiles as everyone else wakes up.

  Laffey sits uo.

  "Oh, Laffey-cahn." Javelin turns to her.

  "Why is everyone here?" Kalk rubs her eyes.

  Formidable slides in front of Laffey. "Laffey, is your memory still not back?"

  Laffey yawns.

  Zuikaku moves up. "Are you alright?"

  "What are you talking about?" Laffey asks. "You know, it's rude to interrupt sacred nap time."

  "What?" Everyone questions.

  "Everyone's been worried about you!" Z23 informs.

  Laffey ys back on her bed. "I've been asleep this whole time."

  Everyone just stares at her for a few seconds.

  "Laffey-chan, does this mean your memory is back?" Javelin quickly asks.

  "I'm gd!" Echo sighs in relief.

  "Wait a minute." Z23 starts. "Doesn't that mean you were half-asleep the entire time?"

  Laffey is silent.

  "Laffey-chan, were you asleep this whole time?" Javelin asks.

  "I had a dream where I was looking for a pillow." Laffey informs and she grabs her co body pillow. "But still, this really is the best pillow."

  Kalk, Hobby, Echo, Javelin, Z23 and Ayanami stare at her in shock. Then they grow angry and all yell. "Laffey-chan, you're such a... dummy!"

  .

  .

  .

  In the early morning Alicorn is at the docks as she waves to many ships leaving. Unicorn waves back as she sails out to the ocean. Sicilia waves to Osami, who stands on Yamato's ship.

  Osami gives Sicilia a bow, before Musashi drags her into the ship. Yamato waves to Commander Sicilia.

  "War, War never changes... No matter the era."

  Yorktown, in a wheel chair, moves up next to Alicorn and grabs her hand. Alicorn looks to her mother and smiles.

  "And this War, is gonna be bloody."

  Far out into the ocean a rge fog rolls over it, with a storm starting to brew overhead. Three sets of burning orange eyes shine in the fog as several deep growls are heard. The a pair of yellow eyes shine in the fog and a corrupted ugh echoes out.

  The eyes look towards a rge convoy of ships, towards a certain Aircraft carrier. The eyes gain a happy glint as they see Unicorn happily pying with a plushie.
