"A reorganization?" Fubuki has been assigned to a new force, along with Kongou, Zuikaku, Ooi, Kitakami, and Kaga. Zuikaku and Kaga hate each other, Ooi can't take her eyes off Kitakami, and Kongou... is Kongou. Will Fubuki be able to lead this odd band of misfits to victory?

"Okay, let's go, Zuikaku!" After Fubuki's hard work, Assault Group 5 is finally starting to come together. But Kaga is struck and badly damaged when she tries to protect Zuikaku from a torpedo. Shoukaku is added to the group in her stead, and they set off for an engagement against an enemy carrier task force in the Coral Islands.
