Yamato was sitting down under a blossom tree with Amagi, and her sister, Shinano, were drinking some home made tea by Amagi as they talked on different topics. Their conversation eventually reached the tournament.
"The tournament is only a few weeks away now, are you two nervous?" Amagi said.
"Kinda, since it's the first time I got picked to be in a tournament battling against different shipgirls from different bases." Yamato said, shaking Shinano to wake up.
"Huh? Wh-what..? What was the question?" Shinano confusingly asked. Amagi giggled.
"My question was, are you nervous about the tournament?" Amagi asked again.
"I think so, but I believe we will be the champions of the tournament!" Shinano said before falling asleep again.
They continued their discussion for a few more minutes until a shipgirl approached them to inform Yamato, she was being called by the Admiral to do a special mission in the mirror seas. The shipgirl didn't say anything more related to the mission, and walked away.
The Empress said her goodbyes to Shinano, and Amagi to head to the docks where the Admiral might be waiting for her or catch up with the fleet.

Yamato exited from the warp as the battleship entered the mirror seas along with Enterprise beside her, the Admiral was on the flight deck of the carrier with a pair of binoculars. He called Yamato to come to the flight deck because he still hasn't told Yamato about the special mission.the Empress arrived on the flight deck moments later then immediately got a sharp look from Enterprise.
"Admiral, what's the special mission? I haven't been informed much." Yamato asked.
"Well, I got a call from HQ about shipgirls that have betrayed the Azur Lane organization. The HQ have investigated the Admiral assigned on the base if he was a corrupt individual, but nothing was found so, we believe the betrayal was the shipgirls' own doing." Justin explained. "We can't have traitors running around the seas, they might spread false information since shipgirls are very respected around the world. Hell, Twitter white knight simps might start a war if you call one shipgirl "bad."
"What are we going to do if we catch them?" Yamato asked.
"Kill them." Enterprise bluntly said.
"What!?" Yamato shouted.
"I'm sorry Yamato, but that's how it works. We can't afford to let them live, they might harm human life." Justin said.
"Have you tried reasoning with them first?" Yamato asked.
"The last time we did that, the Admiral got taken by those rogue shipgirls for 2 weeks until we were able to save him. Although, he got traumatized." Enterprise said.
"5 months of therapy, and sleeping on Azuma's thighs were worth it." Justin said.
"[Is this man dead inside?]" Yamato thought, looking at the Admiral closely. "[I'm pretty sure he's dead inside, but pretends everything is fine like nothing happened.]"
"Anyway, Enterprise, please launch some scout planes. The faster we find those shipgirls, the faster I can come back to my office to only stare at the wall for hours while doing my paperwork." Justin said.
"Yes, Admiral." Enterprise said.
Few American fighters that will act as scouts appeared on the flight deck, the Admiral, Enterprise, and Yamato moved to the side to let the fighters launch. They watched as they launched from the carrier one by one, forming in a V formation, and flew away. Yamato secretly turned on her powerful radars that are twice powerful than Enterprise's and have a larger range.
"Now, we wait." Justin said. "Is the ice cream machine working in the cafeteria unlike in McDonald's?"
"Yes." Enterprise replied.
"Admiral, what shipgirls are we trying to find?" Yamato asked.
"A battleship, two heavy cruisers, and a light cruiser." Justin said.
"Aren't we at a disadvantage? I'm a battleship, and Enterprise is a carrier. We are only two shipgirls against four, plus the cruisers have a faster reload speed than me." Yamato said. "And not to mention, I'm a big target for aircrafts."
"Don't worry, we can use the wrecked ships as cover by pretending to be destroyed. We can attack the cruisers first since they are more dangerous than the battleship or the carrier." Justin said. "Have faith, Yamato. I know what I'm doing."
"[The last time you said that to me, you gotten into a car crash and was sent to the hospital..]" Yamato thought. "[Then again, it's the same day you took my first kiss… Kyaaa~!]"
"You okay? You seemed to be thinking something intensely." Justin said, looking at Yamato.
"N-no, I'm fine, just thinking a few things." Yamato replied.
[Timeskip]
Few hours later, the Admiral, Enterprise, and Yamato were on the flight deck playing some good game of Uno while still waiting for the fighters to find the rogue shipgirls. The Admiral dropped his last three +4 cards resulting in him winning, and both shipgirls screamed in defeat because it was the 20th round, and they haven't won a single round.
"What the fuck!?!? How the hell do you keep winning!?!?" Yamato shouted.
"Admiral, you know that I love you with all my heart, and soul, but HOW THE HELL DO YOU KEEP WINNING!?!?! THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE!" The Enterprise shouted too.
"I was trying not to win though… And this is the first time I play Uno…" Justin said.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Enterprise & Yamato shouted.
Both systems of Enterprise, and Yamato get a notification about the rogue shipgirls, and they are near. The two shipgirls quickly prepared as for the Admiral, he hopped on a fighter because Enterprise will be using her riggings. The Admiral took off from the flight, and Enterprise along with Yamato changed their ships into their riggings.
