"Ugh...what happened?" Leviathan wakes up, dizzy from receiving a volley of high-explosive missiles to the face.

Meanwhile above...
Meriwell blows her whistle. "Everyone, stop!" She orders as she descends from the clouds. Upon hearing the order, everyone immediately goes on standby.

Meriwell walks over to Regina Carolina.

"Excuse me. You nearly killed someone!" Meriwell scolds the stoic carrier Valkyr. "So? That is the whole point of combat." Carolina haughtily folds her arms. "This is an exercise, not a battle. Can you get that through your thick skull?!" Meriwell exclaims.

"Oh dear..." Friedrich thinks, hearing Meriwell rattle off a number of international laws at a still inexpressive Carolina.

"...And that's why you can't act like that in this situation. Now, you either promise to stop doing your murderous hijinks or forfeit the Sakirian Navy's participation in any current and future exercises and sour Sakiria's relations with WARPP. You only have those two choices. Un-der-stood?" Meriwell explains.

"Oh dear..." Friedrich says out loud. "Why?" An aviator asks. "It's one thing to challenge that haughty girl. But it's another to give her an ultimatum." He replies with a worried look. "I'm coming down there before Carolina screws anything up." Friedrich leaps from his Phoenix and lands on the azure sea below.

"Listen---" Carolina was about to unleash a flurry of a furious rant at Meriwell, but her mouth was thankfully slammed shut by Friedrich.

Meriwell raises her eyebrows. "I apologize for the rashness of my colleague. I, as flagship of Coalition naval forces, promise to refrain my forces and I from committing harm intended to kill in WARPP exercises." Friedrich calmly replies.

"Sure, maybe you do. But I want to hear what the navy's Housecat from the North has to say." Meriwell says. Carolina prepares to wind up for a punch, before Friedrich manages to wrestle her in.

"Listen, Carolina. I'm not denying you're a good fighter, but please for the sake of us all, keep yourself in check. Meriwell isn't exactly as forgiving as your captain. And the consequences are much, much, worse than a paddling. Are you really going to risk the entirety of Sakiria for victory?" Friedrich whispers and begs. Carolina gives him a wide-eyed surprised look, full of regret. "I-i...I'm..." Carolina stutters.

She takes a deep breath. Regina Carolina faces Meriwell.

"I am sorry that I let my bloodlust get the better of me. I, along with Prinz Friedrich, as representatives of the Sakirian Navy in this exercise, promise to refrain my forces and I from committing harm intended to kill in WARPP exercises." Carolina hung her head low and solmenly promises.

"That's good to hear." Meriwell sighs in relief. "Hey guys, what happened?" Leviathan notices the three Valkyr talking amongst themselves.

"Sorry I tried to kill you...twice..." Regina Carolina meekly apologizes. Leviathan's eyes were wide in shock. "I'd...never thought you would say that." He smiles. Carolina makes a soft whinnie.

"How about we go somewhere later? Maybe now or after the exercise. We could all use a break." Friedrich chimes.

"Hmmm...let me think about that." Meriwell replies.
