Raphael sighed as she crawled following her sister in an air ventilation.

"I can't believe I dragged into this..."

In front of her, Rachel was crawling along as well. Her face grinned, knowing that her sister had come along to help her.

"You lost the rock paper scissors with me and as we agreed, you have to help me. Come on Raphael, show me some spirit! An infiltration like this could be the perfect opportunity for us to gather information."

"I know, but can't we just scavenge information from the enemy? I mean why do we need to infiltrate our own allies? This is so stupid."

And well, Raphael was right. Raphael and Rachel were currently infiltrating the MRNS Tsuchii Yuusha, Lunar Eclipse's Aircraft carrier.

"This is not stupid, this is brilliant! By infiltrating our allied, we can minimize the risk of being caught, shot and imprisoned by the enemy."

"What if we are mistaken for the enemy? What if our operation is mistaken for sabotage? Rachel, this could create another unnecessary war. And if we want information from our allies, why don't we just cooperate?!"

Rachel stopped and seemed to be struggling to reply to the facts Raphael threw out.

"But... Um... What if our allies are giving us false information? We won't know for sure until we actually see it with our own eyes. It's up to you if you want to go home, I not go home before I have a good time here."

Rachel crawled down the vent while Raphael still followed her. Raphael want to protect Rachel and minimize misunderstandings, Raphael continued to persuade Rachel to go home before things got worse.

"Come on Rachel, aren't you afraid of being ganged up on by thousands of sailors on this ship?"

"Take it easy Raphael, there's Miss E, we are safe."

Raphael's goosebumps instantly rose after hearing Rachel's words.

"Don't tell me Miss Eclipse is here..."

"Alright I won't tell you."

Raphael desperately sighed.

"Why should I follow your stupid idea?"

"Because we are one, and if you declare me stupid that means you're declaring yourself just as stupid."

"I hate the way this relationship works..."

Rachel stopped and made Raphael bump her butt.

"Raphael, look what I found!"

Rachel turned around and revealed a ventilation door. Raphael and Rachel found themselves in the cafeteria section of the ship, the crew was eating lunch and having fun in the room.

"Wow, look at the food they have! It's ten times more appetizing than our rations."

"Forget about the food, they also provide more exciting entertainment than ours!"

Raphael and Rachel watched the room in awe, each of their emerald and gold eyes starry as they appreciated the advantages that their ship is lacked.

Until they noticed one odd thing. Every crew member had the same water bottle. It was blue and the crew looked refreshed after drinking it.

"Rachel, the crew all have strange water bottles... What do you think it contains?"

"Could it be some kind of potion to increase their strength or focus? Or maybe it keeps them awake without sleeping?"

Raphael put her hand to her forehead and thinking, while Rachel took out a modified fishing rod and lowered it through the ventilation door.

"Rachel, what are you-"

Before Raphael could say anything, Rachel took out her airsoft and shot the light switch twice. The room instantly went dark and bright again, the crew was shocked, some even fell over and messed up their food.

"Too late, I've got it."

With a mocking smile, Rachel showed off the bottle she had managed to grab to Raphael. Rachel was really good at this kind of thing.

Rachel opened the bottle and drank from it, immediately afterward, she looked at Raphael with a disappointed look on her face.

"It's just plain water."

Raphael laughed and made Rachel even more upset. Rachel start shooting her airsoft to vent her frustration and have fun. Rachel fired at the emergency fire system.

The alarm went off and water began to soak the room like rain, drenching the crew and messing up their food. Raphael panicked and immediately grabbed Rachel's airsoft.

"What are you doing?! This is outrageous!!"

"WHAT?!-"

Raphael and Rachel argued, while the crew began to notice the noise coming from the vents and opened the vent doors. Raphael and Rachel fell out of the door, pointing at each other with their mouths still gaping.

"Oh so they set off the alarm huh?!"

"They messed up our lunch!"

"Hey, that's my water bottle!"

Raphael and Rachel stood terrified as dozens of angry crew members began to surround them.

"Rachel, we run to that hallway over there on the count of three, okay?"

Rachel nodded at Raphael's whisper.

"Alright, one... THREE!!!"

"HEY, YOU CHEATING! WAIT FOR ME!!!"

"GO AFTER THEM!"

Raphael and Rachel ran down the hallway with dozens of shiny wet crewmen chasing after them.

"Run to the hangar! We can go to the upper deck and fly!"

"Where is the hangar?!"

"IN THE HANGAR OF COURSE!!!"

Raphael and Rachel waded through the hallway randomly and lucky for them, they made it to the hangar. Raphael saw a plane being raised to the upper deck by an elevator, she immediately flapped her wings and flew to sneak out.

"To the elevator! Hurry up!"

"It's no use, Raphael, you won't make it!"

Raphael increased her speed, targeting the elevator that was starting to close and unfortunately she was unable to reach it.

"Damn it..."

"Raphael, come here!"

Raphael flew towards Rachel and entered another corridor to find a way out. Behind them were now hundreds of crew members who were chasing after them.

"Damn it! Find a room, any room! We'll break the window and get out of there!"

Raphael and Rachel stopped at a room they randomly came across. They quickly closed the door, locked it tightly and even had time to move a chair to block it.

Raphael and Rachel sighed with relief as they sat with their backs to the barricaded door. They thought that they were safe, not knowing that they were not alone in the room.

"...Two intruders? Alright, I'll manage it..."

The white-haired woman hung up the phone and immediately turned to look at Raphael and Rachel with a face that was far from 'friendly'. She was Lunar Eclipse herself!

Raphael and Rachel were shocked to death, they were frightened and took a few steps back until their backs hit the door they barricaded. From the window of the door, the angry crew was waiting for them. There was no hope of escape.

"Raphael... You said Miss E was smiling... Raphael? RAPHAEL?!!!"

Before Rachel could do anything, Raphael was already in a prostrate composition. Seeing how desperate her sister was, Rachel immediately followed suit.

"Please forgive us! Let us live! We will do anything for you!!"

They don't even want to mess up with Miss E since then.
