Chapter 1
Saved by A Ship...Girl?
(Shimakaze Pov)
I looked at Admiral the fight had gone well against the abyssal class ships when as we were about to leave we heard a giant explosion happened in the air I thought I could see a small dot. "Admiral?" I asked he nodded and I bolted off Shimakaze is the fastest after all.
(Ragna Pov)
"D..damn that stung." I grunted as my back hit the sand…."Sand that means i'm?!" I launched up waiting for suffocation to set in when nothing no horrible death after minutes for being at sea level which should be doused in seither. I looked out at the sea it was beautiful sparkling and, all that I didn't get to like it for long or wonder about, how the hell I wasn't dying from seither poisoning as a voice said.
"A human at that one that isn't an admiral why are you here?" I looked at the woman standing around 5ft from me she was tall up to me in height her eyes glew yellow while her skin and, armor were pale almost blue though the strange part was the thing on her head. It was like a squid hat from hell a large maw showing some razor teeth with turrets on the sides and finally small drone like things resembling the thing on her head told me she was a definite threat to my health. I spoke calmly while my hand guided itself to bloodscythe to find it wasn't on my back.
"Where?!" I looked behind me it was a good few feet from me I would have a turret shot in my back before that could ever happen. I responded rubbing the back of my head sheepishly"Sorry if i'm trespassing kind of just ended up here though, I do need some answers if you're willing to hear me out?" no need to assume she'll try to kill me "though it happens with every girl I meet that isn't Celica." shaking my head of that thought as I talked.
"No you are not trespassing and I will not answer any questions until you identify yourself." I nodded this girl sounded like a murakumo from how she talked so robotic though if she is one she has me pretty damned fooled with that design.
"Name's Ragna the Bloodedge you?" she kept her blank expression before responding with.
"Abyssal carrier standard Wo-class Flagship now Ragna.." she went silent the air went oppressive and, cold I knew when things were about to get hairy. I dodged rolled when she fired off a single shot in my direction while thinking
"You had to go and think it for christ sakes haven't you learned yet when it comes to yourself jinxing things are more than just superstition!" this Wo-class whatever told me
"Impressive dodge you are more agile than a normal human." she fired off a few more shots and when I finally got fed up with the little game I roared
"You're Pissing me off Hell's Fan..tch!" I grunted slightly in pain as the Azure decided not to work hitting me a small backlash of pain which stunned me as she fired hitting me with a direct blast. "Son of a…!" I got knocked back pretty far landing next to blood scythe, I stood up as I noticed my right eye and, arm had completely stopped working I groaned in annoyance at this. The Wo-class had noticed it as well asking.
"It seems you can still stand but, your body is slowly shutting down I wonder if you live longer? I do wish to take you back with me out of interest." I clicked my tongue picking my sword up in a reverse grip with my left arm.
"Yeah I don't go down easy sorry." I swung my sword before lunging at her.
(Shimakaze Pov)
I bolted through the waters at high speed to see something crazy it was a human and he was facing a wo-class flagship on equal terms..by human standards. He was as tall as said Wo-flagship, he had a emerald green eye while the other was glued shut,spiky white hair that didn't seem to flatten against the probably warm sand every time he rolled or was launched back, and a long red jacket with a black hakama that fluttered against the air as he did fast swings of his large sword. The Wo-class then spoke up to him
"You are very powerful for a human beyond the expectations of anything I've met...it is decided you will become no your are fated to be the abyssal admiral." it was a cold controlling tone Wo-classes freaked me out the most as the man said
"Sorry but, I'm not about to let some girl I just met tell me what I'm going to do, besides I already kicked fate on it's ass once more than willing to do it again!" his glare was steady as he did another swipe with his sword. A tentacle from the carrier piece on her head blocked and caught the weapon mid swing she fired all four cannons into him forcing him to lose grip of his sword, crashing onto the ground surprisingly though he wasn't dead smoking and bleeding but, not dead.
"I will not tolerate" she stabbed his sword into the ground next to him before continuing"anymore resistance ad-mi-ral" how she said that made my back chill seriously she was terrifying with her voice cold and, despondent while acting as if he was somewhat important like a new toy.
"Heh time for me to step in let's see who's faster Wo-class!" I fired multiple shots off from my back as the Rensouhou-chans did their own little barrage. The attacks barely missed the stationary wo-class that had in a second moved out of the way. She looked at me as I gave a wry grin.
"So an annoyance has appeared to get in the way of claiming ragna as an admiral no matter." the man I'm guessing Ragna coughed out
"Go to hell I'm not your ouff!" she kicked him in the stomach I could not help but, feel really bad for him it was like he was a punching dummy. Bolting forward I fired once again she dodged and I smirked saying
"It's not just me who's fast you know?" she wondered what I meant before the Rensouhou-chans had made their way around her backside pummeling into her she went to launch her drones and I said"Too slow flagship!" my Rensouhou-chans had moved as she fired backwards sending the drones at me they fired missing over and, over I blasted multiple shots destroying two leaving three alive which were defeated by my Rensouhou-chans. The flagship glared at me in annoyance as I continued my hyperactive play while giving a cheeky grin the man had been struggling up in this time.
"I'm sick of your shit.. ..bitch." he lunged forward as she went to dodge a shot that would have done critical damage, he slammed his fist into face with enough force to send her flying right into the shot. With sword back in hand the man roared as he did a single stab that pierced through her stomach, twisting the blade he then spun shredding her in two making me both impressed and sorta mortified. Rensouhou-chan had hidden their eyes at the gory end of the ship. I went to land to talk to the man but, he fell over and passed out I stood there silent for a second.
"Crap I got so into the fight I forgot he was injured gotta get him home!" I picked the man up making so comments on his weight as my Rensouhou-chans covered carrying the sword.
(1 hour later Ragna Pov)
"Urrgh..man what the hell?" I grumbled pushing myself up there was no one in the room and I was in a medical bed. "Where am I a medical ward who the hell would?" that's when it all came back that fight with a Wo-class thing and that girl who was dancing around on top of the water peppering her with shots from cannons on her back. "Shit did Kagura spike my drink again to make me more "cooperative" as he calls it." I mumbled as suddenly the door burst open the girl was standing there wide-eyed she looked at me blinked and said hyperly
"You're awake..give me a second I'll go get the admiral!" she bolted a literal afterimage in her place I sweatdropped before confusion once again set in looking out the window seeing the sea
"The Azure doesn't work...were at sea level without dying and whatever the hell that thing was back here could I be..?" my thoughts were interrupted by a snapping in my face it was that girl again she bolted next to a man he was as i figured dressed in standard naval uniform tipping his hat he looked at me a smile.
"Hello I'm the admiral on this ship the very excitable one next to me is Shimakaze." she nodded rapidly before saying
"Yep I'm Shimakaze fastest in the fleet and, the one who saved your butt." she smiled proudly I nodded before saying
"Yeah thanks whatever the hell that thing was it would have been a bit too much for me with my right arm and eye down for the count." I thought the last bit before continuing "My names Ragna the Bloodedge though Ragna is fine for me." he nodded before asking
"So Ragna why were you on that Island?" I couldn't tell him the truth especially without the damn Grimoire working.
"I would tell you but, I have no clue all I remember being near a beach then,something like a claw covering my face before I could fight back I was out cold." it made him wide-eyed and, Shimakaze gasped before saying
"A Harbor Princess! But why would she go after you it doesn't make sense at all they hate humans she would have killed you!" The unnamed admiral made a comment saying
"Unless she was testing him for some reason Ragna did the Wo-class mention anything strange at all." I nodded before saying
"Yeah bitch kept saying I was going to be their admiral for whatever reason, pisses me off to no end that I don't know what she meant." he nodded before tilting his hat and responding
"So that's what they're after...you see the Abyssal fleet have no real leader they have no admiral since they see humans despicable but, you I heard how you sliced the thing in half hell you fought it as an equal that surpasses human expectation and probably more than impressed the Princess who was watching from somewhere hidden." I had to sigh why is it always me with this shit.
"So Admiral we're gonna keep him here right then at least he can't get captured right? Right?!" the little girl shimakaze I had some questions myself so I coughed asking
"Can I ask a few questions myself like what is Shimakaze she isn't human that's for sure." the admiral nodded before saying
"She is best put a shipgirl." I picked at my ear and asked
"Uh did I just hear you wrong I think you just told me she is a shipgirl?" the admiral gave a small huff of surprise before saying
"Yeah I mean it there more agile they're easier to move around,take care of and overall needs less repairs than giant battleships." I put my face in my hand this was going to be a long conversation.
(A few more minutes of both conversation and Shimakaze asking the same question over)
"I see well then how about this Ragna since you seem more than able to fight for yourself and I doubt me letting you go will stop Shimakaze from dragging you back before I can deny why not stay here for a bit." I looked over at the shipgirl her and the turrets that surrounded her seemed to be giving me the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine I'll stay just so we can both avoid whatever the hell she would do if I set her off." the Admiral wiped an imaginary sweat off of his brow. He then walked over to a bag and threw me my clothes before asking one last thing
"By the way the ship I had taking care of your diagnostics told me about how your right arm was made of a unrecognizable black metal that and it didn't seem to react no matter what she did care to explain it." I should have seen that coming and said
"Tch yeah it got cut off when I was younger..by a psychopath who also killed the person taking care of me I was given a prosthetic arm that was experimental they only used it once since what makes it work is very rare." the admiral nodded before leaving to let me get dressed
(Admiral Pov)
I walked down the hall that Shimakaze I had bolted down for the fourth time trying to make herself faster while waiting for our new arrival I gave a small chuckle thinking"I could tell he was lying whatever his reasons are I doubt it had to do with harbor princess when it came to the island when he feels comfortable enough to tell he will." I lit a cigarette giving a puff a smoke this Ragna person was going to be an interesting addition and one full of more surprises than I thought.
Omake-How Ragna got there!
"Tch you wanna go Kokonoe!" Ragna growled as Kokonoe smirked like a villain before saying
"Just stay where you are damnit I'm testing this teleporter on you." Ragna bolted at her doing a few swings of his sword which were stopped by Tager jumping in the middle of the. "Teleporter activate!" as Kokonoe yelled that Tager threw Ragna into the teleporter he roared
"Barrier Overload!" the resulting wave of energy fried the machine causing it to malfunction and send Ragna back first into the sand.
