An escape plan.

"...Damn...everything's still a bit hazy..." You rubbed your eyes as you still were getting your bearings. "Ngh...sluggish movement...slowed reactions...ugh...headaches...I guess this is the result of fighting for complete dominance..." You decided that it would be in your best interests to sit down as you regained your mental strength and stability slowly. "Now then..." You sighed as you looked around to assess the damages. The bridge was in quite a messy state, broken panels, smashed terminals, and bent seats. Additionally, there's the problem of the body in the hallway as well, not to mention your former body, Formidable, just slumped on the ground, still alive thankfully as she was breathing, but you aren't sensing anything inside of the body. "In other words...she's just an empty husk or a doll now." You mused as you eventually stood up. "Alright...let's see who was outside..."

You cautiously made your way to the entrance and soon came face to face with the body of a dead ship girl. "...Damnit..." You sighed, frustratedly and regretfully as you leaned down to identify her. "This one is...an Iron Blood Destroyer girl...Z1? The eldest of the Z-class girls, huh...a shame...she was an incredibly optimistic and fun one too..." You clicked your tongue as you carried the dead destroyer inside the bridge, laying her down on a table, while at the same time getting a good look at the stab marks all over her front. "Pierced her multiple times, huh...Nothing I can do now...I'm sorry I couldn't save you sooner." You shook your head, moving her body to a more concealed area as you turned towards the next immediate problem. "Now what to do with you...?" You stared at Formidable's body, propping her up on a seat as she blankly stared off, due to no longer having any soul or entity inside of her.

"...Hm..." You hummed in curiosity as you just stared at her for a while, wondering how you should go about doing something for Formidable. "...Well..." You tapped your finger repeatedly on a desk. "...Ah what the hell...I've come this far...!" You snapped your fingers as you felt power surging through your new form. "Ooh...~ wow... this feels good...admittedly." You smiled a bit as you placed a hand over Formidable's head. "It's time to make a completely NEW soul for you, my dear friend~!"

You concentrated as you entered her emptied mind. "Let's see...~ Thankfully, I'm capable of creating a copy of your memories, considering I absorbed you completely as well, it seemed, Miss Formidable~!" You nodded as you started to form Formidable's new soul, starting with all her memories. "There...~ I don't have to worry about memory gaps or anything, like South Dakota...So how about your personality...?" You questioned. Formidable was normally a refined, polite girl, with a sweet tooth, so you could bring that part back.

"..." A grin soon crossed your face, however, as you thought of something else. ".....Well, since I'm going to start being a bit bolder with this anyways...why don't I make you a bit more like...me~? Hehe~" You licked your lips as you formed a core comprised of your own perverted personality and merged it with mass of Formidable's memories, watching the soul briefly distort before stabilizing and accepting the core as part of the new soul. "Ohoho..~ I can't wait for this...~" You made sure the soul was stable and ready to be introduced to its new body as you exited Formidable's mind.

At first, Formidable continued to stare emptily forward, but after a minute or two, her body began to spasm as she fell out of the seat and onto the floor. Her eyes rolled up as her back arced up. "K-Khhh!!!" Were the sounds she was making, as you observed, watching as you could tell the soul was busy integrating with the rest of her body. Eventually, she stopped moving like she was having a seizure, the only noises that could be heard was the soft breathing. "..." Another few minutes passed. Formidable's eyes opened up, rubbing them open as she slowly stood up, stretching. "Mnnhh~" She let out a little moan of relief.

"Hey there~" You greeted the newly awakened Aircraft Carrier as she turned to your direction.

"Hm?" She blinked at you at first, before she let out a smile. "Oh~ Hey~" She approached you before wrapping her arms around you and giving you a kiss on the lips. "Mmm~"

'Ah what the hell~ Let's enjoy this~' You shrugged, accepting the greeting and kissing Formidable right back. As you did, you both got more and more heated and passionate with the kissing before breaking it off a few moments later, panting and bursting with excitement. "Hnnmm..~ Hehe~ You seem to be enjoying yourself, Miss Formidable~"

"No kidding! Haah~ I'm so happy this body's so sensitive~" Formidable groped at her tits, shivering in delight as she pinched her nipples poking through her clothing. "Ngh~ Perfect~" She then turned towards you. "Hey~ how does it feel to be inside of Purfier~?"

"Wonderful~ I feel sooooo much stronger~ and it feels like I have a lot to learn about my new home~" You grinned at her as you looked down at your own body. "The way she dressed was so sexy. Booty shorts, cropped sailor uniform, and these thigh high boots~? Mmm~! Exquisite~!" You showed off your form. "Though, admittedly, I wish my chest were a bit bigger. They're moderately sized now~ unlike your mammoth ones~"

"Pfft~ Yeah~ Maybe you'll be able to adjust your size later on, haha~" Formidable giggled uncharacteristically as she puffed out her chest. "Well, when it comes to size, I'm definitely winning this competition~"

"Hmph~" You scoffed as you emphasized your more athletic and toned, yet still curvaceous, figure. "Yeah, I guess, but when it comes to THIS figure, you can't tell me you wouldn't want a taste~ I mean, look at my plump ass~!" You spun around and showed her your bubble butt.

"It's that skimpy outfit you're wearing, that's all~" Formidable teased.

"Uh huh~ As if your outfit leaves much to the imagination either, especially in the chest region~!" You teased her right back.

"Heh~ Touché." Formidable rolled her eyes while smiling. "By the way... I don't mean to ruin the fun, but uhm...what are we going to do with the blood puddle? I'm almost certain other ship girls will start coming by soon enough..." She said as she craned her head

"I see...Hm, leave it to me~" You spoke eagerly as you skipped over to the blood puddle and trail leading inside. "Let's test this out...~" You held your hand out as you focused on producing a small amount of energy to encase your hand. To that end, you had succeeded, your hand was engulfed in a strange energy, which, when put near the puddle of blood, began to disintegrate it. "Oooh~!" You marveled at that gift as you were cleaning up the bloody mess. It didn't take long as you cleaned and cleared every last drop of blood on the floor and on the table as well. "That worked a lot better than I thought!"

"You know, you're not as bothered by this as I thought you were going to be~" Formidable pointed out, humming as she got to work reorganizing the rest of the room to make it cleaner and orderly. "Well, in terms of the body, blood, and stuff like that."

"Huh? Oh, well, I guess I've gotten a bit more desensitized by the whole thing. I had quite the experience fighting Purifier for control, so...eh, stuff like this isn't as bothersome." You just shrugged with a smirk. "Anyways, we're going to have to deal with Z1 next...how do you wanna do this?"

"Is it possible to revive her?" Formidable tilted her head curiously as she asked you.

"Hmm...No...even with my new strengths and powers, reviving someone is just out of my hands..." You moved your head side to side.

"Ah, I see...The others aren't going to like this." Formidable sighed as she sat back down. "Having a ship girl die mysteriously on-board near the bridge isn't a great way for anyone to meet up. Also...do you see those lights way off in the distance? I think that's our reinforcements from the Defense Fleet here to rescue us."

You both looked out the front window, seeing dozens of lights ahead, both Ship girl and actual manned warships seem to have been mobilized for the operation.

"...Please tell me you have something." Formidable became increasingly worried.

".....I do have an idea...not the best, but I think it should do the trick." You spoke after going into thought.

"Huh? You really do? It better be good." Formidable looked towards you as you explained your plan, her face paling at what's to happen. "Uh...be gentle...?"

"No promises~!" You grinned sadistically.
