Atlantic Ocean. 100 miles off the coast of North America. The time is 14:50.

"This is not a drill".

Alarms sounded off through the ship causing the deployment of the occupants. Some had to be shaken awake as their peaceful slumber was interrupted by the sound of battle. People ran to their designated areas and knew there was only one reason the emergency bells would be sounding off. Battle was upon them.

"I repeat" the voice of the XO (Executive Officer, second in command) sounded off of the P.A system. "This is not a drill. All crew are to report to their battle stations and await further orders."

This only seemed to make the crew more nervous than in control. Sailors crashed into each other, pushed and shoved to get through. All the while questions filled their heads. 'How many are attacking?' or 'Will the advance team be able to slow them down?' and finally there was the question every sailor had. 'Is this the end?'

The constant alarm was able to break through those negative thoughts, at least for now.

The war room was in constant spur. Men sat at their respective computers analyzing the upcoming battle. "I have 8 bogeys about 1,000 yards to the North, North East." Called out the man with the French accent working the radar.

"Weapon systems are online. AGS and 155 mm cannons are loaded and ready to go. Awaiting the green light".

"Captain on deck!" the announcement stopped the erratic chatter and every one stood and saluted. Like usual the salute only lasted about 5 seconds before the same voice told them to 'be at ease'. Then just like that they went back to what they were busy doing before.

The Captain, his name to the men ranked below him. But to his superiors it was Captain Yugami. His white uniform was pristine as always, as it should be. The large insignia on the front of his Officers cap signified his importance to his home land of Japan and told others he should be respected. That was at least what should have happened, but now with what was happening, Captain Yugami didn't know if such respect would come again in his life time.

He overlooked the scene around him. Being a good Captain meant not just taking charge but also knowing about the crew's well being. He wasn't surprised though when the fear swelling up in the crew was clearly seen through their actions. They were small gestures like too many stutters in a sentence or a few twitches here and there. The enemy was ruthless. No mercy and when push came to shave these men knew that. They would fight to the death.

"Connect me to the Admiral" the American sailor in charge of communications nodded and started to type in the frequency. Yugami started to rub the small stubble that was forming on his chin. Razors were limited on the ship and it annoyed his hygiene phobia he had. His black hair was cut to the perfect stubble, no other strands of hair, teeth brushed, nails cut and absolutely no sort of body odor. It was one of his flaws and with his intimidating grey eyes looked down at his right thumbnail. 'A little too long' he thought.

The screen in front of Yugami flickered on. "Admiral Miller" he saluted the leader of the small fleet. The Admiral smiled upon seeing his friend. The Admiral was also wearing his white uniform along with the cap that represented his home land of America. Per usual Yugami did a quick look over of the man's appearance. His uniform was rather crinkly and the brown hair was a little too long for it to be seen outside the Officers cap. Then there were his sky blue eyes that even though were rather inducing they had a sort of steel typed sense to them. Like those eyes had seen enough blood shed to last a few life times. Other than that his appearance seemed acceptable.

"Captain Yugami" Miller returned the salute and shooed away the sailor he was conversing with. "I'm surprised to find you in the war room and not on the bridge".

"I left the bridge in the hands of the XO. I believe I am more helpful to the battle if I am at the helm." Yugami took a quick glance to his left. He had a perfect view of the radar and knew the bogeys were getting closer.

"I agree Captain". A hand reached out from the blind side of the camera and pulled the Admiral out of the conversation. Yugami was able to yet again look at the radar.

"E.T.A 20 seconds be advised sensors are picking up heat signatures." The French radar man called out for the room to hear.

"Alright Captain" Yugami returned his gaze to the Admiral. "Project Savior has been authorized". Yugami found a small smile creeping up on his face. Project Savior would definitely handle this situation, they just couldn't lose. "I need your Destroyer to handle those bogeys for 2 minutes."

"Of course Sir! The U.S.S McCampbell will handle the enemy until everything is prepared".

"Alright Captain. I'm counting on you, remember the McCampbell was my ship before my promotion to Admiral. If you take care of it, it will take care of you." Yugami saluted the American Admiral and with a smile Miller continued. "Good luck to you Yugami".

The connection then cut. Time has started. 2 minutes starting now.

"You heard the Admiral! We must defend against the enemy for 2 minutes until Project Savior is online." The room went silent as their Captain spoke to them. "Our enemy might have the advantage but that doesn't mean we can't fight back. I should not have to remind you that they will not hold back. They will kill you". Yugami walked forward to the sailor manning the radar and placed a hand on his shoulder before continuing. "If for one second you think that if surrendering yourself will spare your life. Then you are a fool. No prisoners will be taken on this ship, we have been labeled as class 5. To be killed on sight."

"The only option we have is to fight. Admiral Miller is counting on us. If the U.S.S Dwight D. Eisenhower falls, then we all do. We will protect that Aircraft carrier at all costs. Do you understand!?"

"Yes Sir!" the room erupted. Yugami smiled, the fear was gone.

"Contact!" the room went back into battle mode. "20 plus missiles heading straight for the McCampbell".

So the battle begins…

"I want those missiles dead in the air sailor!"

"Yes Commissar!"

A Russian weapons expert grabbed the controls on his desktop. The screen immediately came to life as it showed the outside of the ship. "Phalanx online! Firing!"

The 20x102mm Gatling gun came online just as the missiles broke through a pair of clouds. The Phalanx pointed up into the sky and opened fire. Short bursts of Armor-piercing Tungsten hit the missiles in midair causing detonation. The missiles were spaced out evenly causing more time for the sailor to aim and fire.

"10 seconds until missiles make their mark!"

"Sailor!" Yugami called out.

'3 left' the Russian sailor told himself. He jerked the controls to the right and opened fire hitting another one. He had to move the controller back to the left. Sweat was pouring down his forehead as he lined up the shot again and 'bang' there went the second one.

'One left'. The missile was coming right at his camera. That meant the missile was going to strike the middle of the ship. It would be crippled after that hit and most importantly the Destroyer would be lost to the seas, most likely with its crew. He couldn't let that happen.

The gun fired again and the explosion was large. The Destroyer started to shake in the semi-calm waters and every sailor in the war room tried their hardest to not fall. Loose objects on desktops fell over followed shortly by a few klutzes.

"Damage Report!" Yugami yelled out while he too struggled to stay on his feet.

"Missile exploded 200 meters from the front Bow. No external damage, ship is still running at 100 percent capacity."

Yugami knew it was time to fire back. "Get the 155mm on their position now and I want Aster 30 missiles locked onto their heat signature. If they want a fight, then it's a fight they will get."

At that moment different naval operators started their attack. "65 degrees North East. Wind speed 7 knots. Acquiring target." A man with an incredibly heavy Irish accent announced over the COMM line.

"Target acquired!" an American male answered back as the large Cannon on the exterior moved to the set coordinates. "Firing for affect". The Destroyer rocked as several shots fired off in the direction of the enemy.

A large compartment on the Destroyers Aft opened and revealed two large white missiles. "Aster 30's firing". The dual missiles activated and with incredible speed shot out of the U.S.S McCampbell heading for the same coordinates.

The war room went silent as the projector that was currently set up in the middle of the room tracked the shots. Everyone watched in hope and anticipation as the several Cannon shots made their mark on one of the bogeys. The war room erupted into cheers as the target was completely neutralized. It didn't stop there either. One of the Aster missiles made its mark and also neutralized a second bogey. The other missile was destroyed unfortunately, but it didn't matter. They got 2 of them.

Amidst all the cheers and happiness Yugami didn't take his eyes off the tracker. The bogeys stopped their advance. He came to the quick conclusion that they were either searching for the remains of their friends or conversing about the next move.

"Bogeys are in sight!"

The room stopped cheering as the XO's voice erupted through the P.A. Everyone looked at the video feed and looked at their enemy. Six IS's floated there. They all were the same black color and seemed to have the same weaponry as each other. Missiles and Machine guns. Their faces were covered by helmets and menacingly flaunted their weapons.

"Scan confirms they are the same IS models engineered by Germany."

"Rat bastards" one of the German techs spat out of his mouth. Staring with hatred at the bitches who were threatening his life and the lives of his new comrades.

Yugami stared with interest. They haven't attacked yet and the fact was they were just staring at the Destroyer. What on Earth were they planning?

Then just like that it happened. More Missiles fired off from the enemy IS and this time the Russian weapons expert that was controlling the Phalanx felt fear overtake his entire body. "40 plus missiles heading right for us sir!"

The Russian didn't need any orders to act and opened fire. The Phalanx was fast in taking out any incoming threats to the ship. But for the first time it wasn't fast enough. The 75 Armor-piercing rounds per second wasn't enough. Two missiles got through its sight.

The XO stared in horror as the two missiles were missed by the Phalanx. "Abandon the Bridge!" he yelled out as the Navigation officer and multiple officers pushed away from their duties and ran for the closest exit. The XO didn't move as he watched the missile that would end his life get closer and closer. The officers that were in the bridge with him wouldn't make it to the door. He felt a small tear slide down his face as he thought of his daughter. 'I'm sorry'.

The missile struck the front of the bridge and an avalanche of explosion started as the men inside were claimed by the intense heat. Secondary explosion started as other parts of the deck exploded in unison. Fires started as the people working the deck ran out with fire extinguishers.

The Destroyer started to rock back and forth and just when people thought it couldn't get any worse the second missile struck.

The wall protecting the engine room exploded and sent the engineers who were working diligently into a frenzy. Almost immediately water swept into the room and dozens of engineers were knocked over by the sudden waves.

"BREACH, BREACH!" the lead engineer who was watching from a higher level smashed his fist into a red button on the wall. Immediately a secondary alarm sounded letting the Captain know of the breach.

Yugami cursed to himself and turned to face the communication table. "Patch me through to the engine room". It took only a few seconds for the connection to be made and Yugami was only met with the sounds of screams and water.

"Sailor!" Yugami screamed. "What is the status? Is anyone there?"

"Ya Captain. First Private Muller reporting." The German sailor then coughed and a sound of more splashing water was heard. "The Hull has been breached and water is flooding into the engine room. About a dozen M.I.A and several K.I.A."

"Repairs can't be made until this water is taken care of sir and I don't think these bitches will stop firing and let us fix the breach." The German Private continued as he took a glance down to the lower levels of the engine room and witnessed more of his comrades get washed away by the unforgiving waters. All he could do was hold on to the metal rail and pray.

Yugami felt his blood go cold and all he could do at the moment was watch as the once calm war room went into a full on frenzy. Men ran from their stations and yelled about their 'upcoming death'. Some simply sat down on the cold floor and rested their heads against the walls. He noticed that some of them were talking to themselves, either praying or just saying gibberish.

Then there were the few. About 9 or 10 stayed and performed the duties. They directed squadrons to various points to maybe help the advance of the water. The Russian weapons expert took the opportunity he had to open fire on the German IS users and was able to scatter their formation. These brave men was the only thing keeping Yugami from joining the ranks in their crazy antics.

"U.S.S McCampbell" the sound of a confident man broke through the main COMM channel and seemed to stop all of the Sailors on the Destroyer. "This is Savior 1. Ready for action."

"Savior 2 online" this time it was a women's voice who seemed to be devoid of any sort of emotion. "We'll take care of this from here McCampbell, fix yourselves up."

The amount of cheer that erupted from the one room seemed to break through the solid steel walls. It was so loud that Admiral Miller thought he heard it from the bridge of the Eisenhower. Miller knew the damage was heavy on the McCampbell but from here Savior 1 and Savior 2 would handle everything. "Begin our retreat to HQ. Inform Captain Yugami that the Eisenhower will be towing the McCampbell and set course for home."

Savior 1 and Savior 2 flew in front of the McCampbell and easily got the attention of the 6 German IS users. "Starting scan" Savior 2 stated bluntly and a few seconds later the readings came in. "Two Armor-piercing MG's, six more missiles each and one energy blade for each pilot".

"You ready for this Nee-san?" at the sound of Savior 1's voice Savior 2 gave him a scowling look.

"Ichika we are supposed to be using our code name remember?"

"Oh yeah" Ichika started to laugh nervously as he simultaneously turned the safety on his MG off. "Sorry about that Chifuyu-nee uh-uh I mean Savior 2". Chifuyu exhaled in frustration and face palmed.

"Byakushiki" the two of them stopped their pointless bickering and looked back at their enemy. "And Savior 1. You have committed multiple heinous crimes against the Queen and her loyal representatives of the new world. You are to surrender yourselves to us or perish along with those pieces of filth in their ships."

"The Queen ya say? I must say that I am shocked and a little happy to know that her majesty has the time to think of us." Ichika aimed his dual MG's as the IS pilot in the middle of the formation. "But I think we'll have to decline her invitation".

"Then die!"

Chifuyu activated her energy sword Yukihira and charged at the line of IS's. The Germans opened fire. Chifuyu slashed at the closest one and felt her patience thin slightly when the pilot dodged and continued to fire at her.

Chifuyu successfully got the attention of three of them, leaving the other three to Ichika. "I must say ladies I am pretty good with a gun". The German pilots opened fire on him. Ichika smiled and successfully started to dodge the bullets while returning fire. They flew around each other in circles and let the lead rain down on each other. One of the pilots in the circling was a little slow then the others and Ichika used that to his advantage. Aiming at the spot she would fly into was easy and with short accurate bursts his Armor-piercing rounds railed into her shields. They easily depleted the protective shields and with a final burst several bullets entered the girl's chest. Tearing her heart into shreds and killing her.

The IS began its quick descent downwards into the cold waters. The other two pilots he was fighting with were distracted as their eyes followed the lifeless body of their probable friend. Ichika took this as his advantage. Leaning forward slightly he let the dual Barrel's take aim and then he opened fire. The dual railgun hit both of the pilots he was fighting and smoke filled the air. Ichika knew they were dead after that impact and he wiped the sweat that was covering his forehead.

He killed them and now he felt nothing. This Ichika was new. The old Ichika before this all started would never had a single thought about taking another's life. Before this happened he was nice, friendly and ok maybe a little dense.

Now though. He was cold blooded, steel nerves and he had obtained some serious battle smarts. Ichika wasn't meant to live life like a fighter, which was always Chifuyu-nee. She loved to fight and boy when it came to that she never held back. Especially when he was somehow involved in it. She always protected him and now he was able to return that protection. That was his only objective in life anymore, protect Nee-san.

Chifuyu felt enjoyment as her specially made weapon cut through the shield and skin of the IS pilot in front of her. '2 down, 1 to go'. She took a quick glance to the right of her and watched as Ichika took out the two pilots with his railgun. "Great job kid".

The last IS pilot yelled in rage and threw her gun. She pulled out her energy blade and got into a fighting stance. Chifuyu smirked, "It's been a while since I had a good fight and it's too bad this will be your last."

That got her even angrier and with a force the German pilot propelled forward. She slashed vertically down and was easily blocked by Chifuyu. She pulled back and swung right and left repeatedly, Chifuyu was not even close to breaking any sort of sweat. Letting this German pilot have her little torrent before her end seemed to be fit.

This time the German pilot swung upwards, the blade again being blocked. She tried to push the blade forward into Byakushiki but found that was entirely not possible. The German pilot glanced behind her to see if any of her other friends were alive but found only Savior 1. A brilliant idea entered her head. If she couldn't get to Byakushiki then at least she would take down Savior 1 with her.

Just as Chifuyu was about ready to finish things off she was surprised when two missiles fired out of the IS. She followed their path and Chifuyu felt her eyes widen when the target was clear. "Ic- Savior 1 watch out!"

Ichika was still in deep thought when he felt the first missile explosion hit the back of his IS. The remaining 320 shield that was protecting him drained in the blink of an eye. He turned just in time to see the second missile. His last line of defense was his IS's arms and that didn't help as much as he thought. The explosion rocked his IS and just like that he felt the heat and shrapnel effect almost every part of his body. His IS disappeared and his body started to free fall down to the waters below.

Chifuyu felt her heart shatter at the sight of her younger brothers limp body falling. Anger and rage gave her the speed she needed as she easily disarmed the German pilot who did that to her beloved brother and stabbed Yukihira into her chest.

Chifuyu didn't care what happened to the German pilot's body and raced down. Ichika's body was about to land in the Atlantic when she swooped under him and caught him. She was holding him bridal style and took a look at his body. Burns covered half of his face along with most of his body. Chifuyu felt a liquid on her right hand. She took her hand off of the side of his stomach and saw her white gloves were covered in her brother's blood.

"Nee-san?"

Chifuyu looked up at Ichika. His eyes were open slightly and she could see his face was sort of distorted. He was in pain. "Nee-san yo-you're cr-crying". Chifuyu felt the small tears rolling down her face. Normally she would never ever cry in front of Ichika. It wasn't right for him to see her so weak, she was meant to protect him and what image would she get if he knew she cried.

Chifuyu watched as Ichika lifted his right arm, ignoring the pain. He wiped the tears from her cheeks and through the pain was able to smile. "Don't cry over me please. I don't like seeing you cry, a girl like you should never have to cry."

Chifuyu felt her heart strings tug insanely at the show of affection her brother was giving her. "I must look like a wreck" she laughed nervously.

"I-I can't feel my right leg". Chifuyu quickly looked down at his right leg. She wished though that she didn't. Multiple pieces of shrapnel were sticking out of it and blood was pouring out of it like a fountain. It was getting on her IS but she didn't care.

The warm hand that was still on her cheek suddenly left. Chifuyu felt disappointment at the loss of contact but that wasn't the time. She looked at his face and saw his eyes were closed. "No, no, no Ichika you need to wake back up please". No answer. She risked putting her ear to his chest and the rhythmic beat was no longer there.

"It's not ending like this!" Chifuyu pointed her IS in the direction of the HQ and as fast as she could began her flight. Tears were streaming down her face and landing on Ichika's bloodied and burnt shirt. He wasn't going to die like this. She still didn't have the chance to tell him the truth…
