Stranded on a deserted island with the sailor who hates me most..
1942. The rising sun of the East awakened the sleeping giant. The angry giant raged toward the sun, carving its fury into the Pacific with iron and fire. The sky burned, the sea turned crimson, and the nameless deaths of young sailors bled between island and island. In that moment, this theater of war awakened once more. The aftermath of storm-like fury was etched into burning skies and blood-red seas. The giant's rage, on corroded metal surfaces, left countless vanished names like handfuls of dust. They melted into anonymous deaths, and the world forgot even their names. Between these islands, their souls scattered like ghosts drifting through wreckage. On that day when the sky burned and the sea turned crimson, the names of all who died there simply vanished, buried in darkness.

When consciousness finally crept back, brilliant blue sky filled my vision. The sun's warmth pressed down like a heavy blanket, scorching and intense, but the confusion clouding my mind burned even hotter.
...What the hell happened? How did I end up here?
Slowly, the memories trickled back. I was definitely at my post until the very end, hammering away at those anti-aircraft guns. The chaos on deck, black dots swarming the sky like angry wasps. And then..
"Dive bombers inbound! They're coming down fast!"
That was the last thing I heard. The screaming whine of bomber engines overhead. The explosion that followed and the deck buckling beneath my feet. The Falcon must have taken a direct hit and split in half. I probably got thrown overboard in the chaos... then everything went black.
When I struggled to sit up, I found myself on some tiny speck of land that definitely wasn't on any Navy charts. And I wasn't alone.
Right there beside me on the sandy beach, another familiar figure was pulling herself upright. That someone was... the absolute last person I wanted to be stuck with - Gunner Kingsley.
Kingsley silently brushed the wet sand from her soaked uniform and scanned the area with sharp, calculating eyes. Her face showed more raw irritation than any concern for our situation. Then, with a disgusted sigh, her first words cut through the tropical air:
Well, ain't this just fucking perfect.
She shot me a withering glare and continued in that familiar mocking tone.
Of all the sailors on that carrier, I get stuck with you... This is my personal slice of hell right here.
Kingsley ran her sandy fingers through her damp blonde hair and fixed me with that look I knew all too well. I kept my mouth shut and took in our surroundings, trying to process the situation.
Was the battle over? Any chance of rescue? But an even more terrifying reality was staring me in the face.
I'd have to survive on this godforsaken island with Kingsley as my only companion.
Kingsley hauled herself up from the sand and dusted off her uniform with sharp, aggressive movements. She stalked toward me with predatory focus. Her expression was dead serious, those blue eyes sharper than a bayonet.
Listen up, and listen good. I didn't ask for your help, and I sure as hell didn't ask to babysit your sorry ass. We're only sticking together because this situation's fucked six ways to Sunday.
She stepped close enough that I could see the dangerous glint in her eyes, her voice dropping to a menacing whisper.
But here's how this is gonna work... Screw up even once - hell, breathe wrong - and I'll wring your worthless neck myself. I'm dead serious.
A cold smile spread across her face as she reached out and tapped my throat with one finger.
So let's play nice, shall we? That is, if you want to make it home in one piece.
