PROLOGUE
25th October,1945-Atlantic Ocean
The skies were inked with constant flak barrages as German planes constantly harassed the limping fleet below. It had been no more than a month since the end of the Second World War and already the death toll was climbing again.
Amidst the chaos of the aftermath, remnants of the German and Japanese military who have yet to take note of their respective nations surrender continue to pillage naval convoys and military patrols. Their diehard commanders forcing the men and women under them to fight to the was another example.
On the bridge of the American cruiser U.S.S. Nevada,Captain Sebastian Eisenhower-a man in his early forties with black hair which begun turning grey from the side-fought desperately to stabilize the situation. The German fleet consisting of 5 cruisers,7 destroyers and a single light carrier surprisingly,had caught the lightly guarded convoy in an ambush. Where there was once 10 military transports,6 destroyers,2 cruisers and a single light aircraft carrier now remains half of the transports and destroyers and Eisenhower's cruiser.
The Germans had caught them of guard at dawn, sinking their only form of air power with torpedoes and now were slowly picking them were off. They were able to eliminate most of the destroyers and a cruiser in a counterattack but they were finally overwhelmed by the German air power. The only reason they were still alive was from the unending anti-aircraft fire from the destroyers and his cruiser but the barrages won't last for much longer.
A sudden explosion stopped the captain's reminiscing.
"Captain!We've been hit port side guns are down to two."
'Dammit!'he meant his ship's port side was already badly exposed to bombing which was bad enough since they were already running out of ammunition.
"Helm,change course get us near the 'Constitution' use their flaks for cover!"he barked before a Stuka came in an strafed the ship cooking of the ammunition in one of the secondary guns.
"Sir, we've got fire on the starboard hull!"An ensign yelled.
Eisenhower's mind was racing. If the attacks kept up then it won't be long until the transports are left defenseless. They've been sending distress calls for hours now but it seems no help will come in time anyways.
'Oh God Almighty, if there was anyway to save my men please...do it.'he prayed.
As if on cue,one of the German destroyers fired a single torpedo to the heart of the fleet. The captain was about to order evasive maneuvers when something caught his eye. At the center of where the torpedo should have been there was a faint glow that seemed to look so serene despite the chaos around them. The crew themselves had took notice of the strange warhead that they failed to notice the planes that were fleeing above them.
The torpedo seemed to travel to the heart of the heart of the fleet before halting. The battle had become deathly quiet in fear and curiosity of this strange new weapon. Even the Germans had halted their attacks.
It didn't last long as a massive sphere of blue light suddenly erupted from the water blinding every living thing in the vicinity. Every American in the fleet was screaming in pain as screeching noises filled their ears threatening to make them deaf. They couldn't even notice the fact that the blue sphere had begun pulling their ships in nor make note of the German fleet in the distance which was turning tails. It's crews terrified at the display of power the SS weapon was showing.
Just as sudden as it began,so did it entirety end. The entirety of the American fleet lost without a trace. This incident will forever be renown as a mystery to the world. Investigations by the Office of Naval Intelligence would in the end classify the men and women Missing in Action and presumed dead.
