The plot focused on a fleet of shipgirls fighting against the Abyssal Fleet in Tokyo (in the Tokyo Big Sight area). However, they were facing off against a fleet of powerful Abyssal Fleet Himes that they were having difficulty defeating. All seemed hopeless until they decided to enter the night battle phase. The screen then faded to black and the following option appeared on screen:

| |
| − | '''Dispatch''' / '''Hold Back'''
