Angel's Of Our Future Chapter one: Echo's From The Blue
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Pacific Ocean
January 10th, 2004
A Boy no more then the age of five stood trembling in his families home. He stood in the doorway to the living room of his house. He had light brown hair, that spiked to the right, and dark brown eyes. He wore a pair of overalls, and a white shirt that had the American Flag on it. He watched in horror, as his mother layed on the ground in the living room bleeding out.
But for the boy that wasn't the scariest part. Standing above his mother was a strange looking woman. She had pure white skin, with strange red lines moving across her skin. This women had an equally white dress all around her with a strange, black line collar around her neck covering her mouth. Again her hair was as equally white, as the rest of her with two strange like horns coming out of her head.
She immediately turned from the boy's mother, and stared down at him. He backed away in fear, as her piercing red eyes sized him up.
"Kurt get up! Run sweetheart!" His mother shouted out from the ground. "M-Mommy? What's going on?" The boy finally stuttered out, as he began to muster up the courage to move forward into the room. "Just run! Find your Dad, and little sister!" She screamed out, struggling to get up.
The strange looking woman, immediately grinned, and walked up to the terrified boy. "Yes little boy run along now. Let the grown ups talk." The women bent down, and stared him down.
"You stay away from him!" The boys mother screamed out, as she struggled to get up. "I'll kill you if you touch my baby boy!"
"Ah so this is the protective instinct of a human mother that I've heard so much about." The women said turning, with glee back to the mother.
"Get out of here right now!" His mother shouted out, as she finally managed to get up. She began to reach for something behind her, but the other woman payed her no mind, and turned back to the boy.
"S-Stay away f-from me." He said, with a large amount of fear in his voice. The woman expected the boy to run off at any second, but to her surprise he stood his ground. She was enjoying this. "Don't worry little boy. Everything will be fine." The woman stroked his hair, and layed a kiss on his forehead. The boy was frozen in fear, until a gun shot shook him back to reality. "Get away from him!" His mother shouted out. She was holding a small firearm in her hand.
"So the Vice Admiral does have fangs." The woman said with joy, as she rushed the boys mother. His mother tried to put a few rounds in the woman, but to her horror they bounced off. The demon like women finally reached her, knocked the gun out of her hand, and threw her face first against a nearby wall.
The mother slowly slid down, leaving a steady stream of blood in her wake. The woman walked over to her, and grabbed her by the neck. Hanging her up high in the air. "Once we cripple the base here, we'll move onto the mainland, and destroy your sinful, and corrupted country. Then the world." The woman said, as she applied an extreme amount of pressure to the mother's neck, until a sickening crack was heard, and she fell limp.
The women looked at her in disgust, and tossed her to the ground, next to the petrified boy. "Mommy!" He screamed out, shaking the lifeless body "Why would you do this!?" He asked realizing what had just happened to his mother. "Why!" He yelled out in anger, tears flowing from both eyes.
The woman kneeled down in front of Kurt, and cupped his cheek. "The age of man is coming to an end I can assure you. But I promise that we'll meet again someday, and I'll save you from all of this." And with that she planted another kiss on his forehead, and walked up to one of the open windows. "I hate you!" Kurt shouted out in rage, looking at the women with extreme killing intent.
"You'll understand in time. Goodbye." She said slipping out the window, and disappearing into the yard. "BURN IN HELL!" The boy screamed out, as he stood over his mother's body.
Not even a second later the boy began to heavily sob, looking down at his mother's frozen shocked expression on her lifeless body. He began to hear loud banging coming from the front door, he didn't care. All he cared about was his mother before him. Not even a second later he heard windows break upstairs, and doors bust open. "Clear!" A rough voice shouted out from the front door.
"Move, Move, Move!" Another shouted out, and multiple footsteps moved through the house. Kurt didn't worry at all. He knew exactly who these people were. They were a squad of Soldiers that was tasked with looking after Kurt's family.
He sat there holding onto his mother's jacket waiting for the soldiers to show up. He moved his hand over her wrinkled up name. Vice Admiral Jennifer Housley. He read her name again, and again. He held it close. It was the only lifeline he had to his mother now.
For him, and the rest of the world it would be the last normal day any of them would ever have. For the Abyssal's have arrived.
On January 8th, 2004 the first contact with this race known as the Abyssal's was made. Scientist who were researching the ancient, and large trenches in the south pacific, uncovered an ancient vault, sealed from the outside world. Apon touching the vault doors the team of scientists unleashed an ancient, and evil power known as the Abyss, before word could spread, the Abyssal's had already made their presence known by wiping out the entire Philippines. This was on January 9th.
A day later they had already made their way to the central Pacific, destroying Midway in under an hour, before anyone knew they had already showed at Hawaii. A few United States Ships stood fast against the large armada, but with the loss of their Vice Admiral, and other leaders to far away to give out efficient orders. The United States loss the State of Hawaii too the Abyssal's.
After the loss of Hawaii the United States mobilized it's military to combat the new threat. Even to go as far, as recalling all their soldiers from around the world to provide defenses for the country. Hours before the attack, two more Abyssal Armada's appeared reared their heads near the waters of China, and Russia. Signaling the start of what is now know as the Deep Blue incident. This ultimately lead the three counties to leave the UN. The world's super powers were barely able to hold back this devastating enemy in the Pacific. Upon capture of one of these Abyssal's it told the Russian Soldiers this. "We were created by humanities corruption. They say we make our own demon's. We are humanities demon."
In the year 2016 the Abyssal's reared there heads again against humanity. Signaling the start of World War III. This time attacking South America, and The Horn Of Africa. Millions died in the attacks. Humanity was at a turning point. The world pressured the UN to go, and assist the two continents. With the super powers busy dealing with their own Abyssal threat they could not assist. They UN still never agreed to send aide to the war torn counties, and as a result many counties left the UN to find help elsewhere. They turned their heads to the World's super powers. So in turn they decided to join each super power in their fight against the Abyssal's.
In 2020 it looked like the war would never stop with the Abyssal's. Many counties fell to them, and their numbers kept rising. But for every force there is an equal and opposite. On June 21st 2020 humanity received that opposite. Girl's with fighting potential to battle the Abyssal's threat. These girls were of equally strength as the Abyssal's. No one knows where they came from. Some said they were created from humanities fighting spirit, others say they were an alien race. But to the mass public they're known as Ship Girl's. Upon hearing this news, and no longer being watched over by the U.S. Japan sealed itself off from any foreign contact, and cut off any news to the outside.
The Year is now 2024. The Abyssal's have pushed into the European front, and have set bases down in China's southern region. Even with the assistance of the Ship Girl's humanity is still being slowly pushed back. But with the development of new technology, and raising number of Ship Girl's humanity could turn the tide. And now Japan has called out for the aide of the United States, and her allies. What could this mean, and what has happened?
Pacific ocean, in route to Japanese southern islands.

Seal Team Saber
Kurt layed down in the back of a V-22 Osprey, as it passed over the mighty Pacific ocean. He layed against the floor looking out of the Osprey lowered loading ramp. He watched, as the Helicopter's twin Osprey, flew slightly below them, and to the left. It was a perfect warm day out, and not a cloud in the sky.
He thought about the past, about everything that had happened to him in the past twenty years. What he had seen, and what he had done.
"Oh finally awake I see kid." A voice said walking up the Kurt. The young man looked up to see a much older man looking down at him with a grin. He had short grey blasted back hair, and deep blue eyes. He wore the standard Special Force's gear that was required now a days. A full Multicam uniform, with different armor plates covering his vital points. Multicam Armor covered his shoulders, torso, thighs, and legs. All around his legs, arms, and body was a thin strange metal skeleton. He held a Multicam ops-core helmet with a jaw guard, and eye visor with a set of GPNVG-18 goggles attached to them in his right hand. These were once only used for night operations, but have since been upgraded to offer the user enhanced vision. Now the user could see over a mile in each direction, and could magnify down to see the eyes of an ant in perfect detailed. In his left hand he a customized M27 rifle. It had an ACOG scope attached, with a set of canted iron sights. He had a fore grip, and a silencer attached to it.
Kurt instantly knew who he was. His team's squad leader, and long time friend Frank Irons. "Oh hey Frank. We almost there?" Kurt asked lazily getting up off the floor.
Kurt sported nearly the same identical appearance as Frank, but instead of a jaw guard, and eye visor for his helmet, Kurt had a RAC headset, with his GPNVG-18 goggles flipped up instead of down like Frank. He also sported a M27 customized rifle. His had a holographic sight, with a magnifier, an angled forgrip, and a laser sight.
"ETA ten minutes" A voice suddenly answered him from across his radio channel.
"That answer it for ya?" Frank asked, helping Kurt to his feet. Kurt gave a slight nod, while Frank walked off farther back into the Osprey. He stopped next to three other figures, which were the rest of Seal Team Saber.
Seal Team Saber was established in 2022, by SOCOM. Saber was one of the many smaller Special Force's squad's made in an effort to combat small pockets of Abyssal, or deal with VIP protection across the war torn world. Each team usually consisted of four operators, and one Ship Girl. They received the best kind of tech, and the best weapons.
Currently the Squad consisted of Lieutenant Commander Frank Iron's, Petty Officer third class Ray Clark, Petty Officer third class Patrick Daniel, Lieutenant Kurt Housley, and finally The Iowa Class battleship USS. Missouri.
Kurt had served with these people for yesrs, and knew all of their traits. Iron's he had known the longest. He was a close friend to his mother, before her death. Iron's was also the one to take care of Kurt, and his little sister after their fathers had suddenly disappeared. He also kept a cool during combat, and never panicked. No matter what Iron's always had a plan. Next was Ray, he was the Squad's forward Scout. Ray was of your average height, and of Caucasian decent. He had short spiky black hair with jet black eye's. Ray was a pretty good friend of Kurt the two had known each other for quite sometime. Ray was often the quiet type, but sometimes had his random spouts of well…. Randomness. Next was Patrick, he was a bit taller then the rest of us, with an English decent. He sported short brown hair, that was styled to the right, and light blue eyes. Patrick was the communications, and tech expert of the group. He was also an extreme loud mouth. Always voicing his opinions on everything, even if what he had to say didn't make sense.
Lastly was Missouri. Kurt felt the most on guard around her. She had long flowing snow white hair, with solid grey eyes. So many times Command has tried to cut her hair, but like every other Ship Girl nothing would cut it. The Missouri wore a similar type armor, and uniform. Only on hers, she didn't have a metal like skeleton wrapping around her arms, nor did she have a helmet with her. Instead of a rifle she had three sets of large cannons attached to a strange like device on her back.
She was the newest addition to their squad, but even after being with them for almost over eight mouths, she still felt so distance from the group. She would work with them as a team perfectly, but when it came to outside of the battlefield she would be so cold, and threatening to anyone besides Kurt. She would almost always be with him when there was off time. So Kurt took it upon himself to help her interact better with the squad.
He suspected more was going on with her then she wanted to let on. But he wouldn't bring it up, unless she wanted to.
"Man why do we even have to go, and visit the Japanese? They've closed themselves off for the past four year's. Why show up now?" Patrick huffed out, as he fiddle with his helmet next to Ray who was silently reloading his pistol. Frank let out a small chuckle, as he stood in front of the two.
"Maybe it has something to do with the Abyssal's." Ray said, without looking up from his gun.
"Or maybe they finally got tired of the isolation." Missouri spat out from her spot next to the loading ramp. She didn't bother looking at them, she just coldly stared down into the ocean.
"Either way JSOC ordered us here to guard the diplomat while they discuss a treaty with Japan, about opening of trade, and military assistance." Frank explained to the three.
"This could be a big step for us." Ray said, as he finished reloading his gun, and put it up to the light of the Osprey for examination.
"How? It's only Japan." Patrick said, raising an eyebrow.
"We'll be tapping the technology of a country cut off from the rest of the world for years." Ray said, holstering his pistol.
"Four years isn't a long time." Kurt said, with an annoyed facial expressions, as he walked up to the three along with Missouri.
"Yeah, and all that technology couldn't even exist. We could just be flying into a wasteland of nothing. With people who disparately need our aide." Missouri said with a blank expression. The three men just stared at Missouri with deadpanned expressions. Kurt simply sighed, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"What?" Missouri asked looking around at all the men, with a questioned expression.
"That was rather morbid Missouri." Ray said, looking at her with caution. He didn't want to say anything to the Girl that might seem offense. It was common knowledge in the military now a days not to anger a ship Girl. For even with all that armor, one punched from a battleship could extremely injury, or kill them.
"I'm just stating the possible outcomes." Missouri said shrugging her shoulders.
"You don't need to be so negative." Ray said, rubbing his head. A moment later a small blue LED light went off in Franks ear. He immediately tapped it, and walked off to speak with the pilot. Ray, and Patrick went off by the loading ramp to prepare their equipment a bit more.
Kurt sat down for a moment, and fiddle with the metal skeleton that pressed flatly against each of his arms. Attached to his hand, and connected to the flat metal pieces, were hand like brances that fitted around each of his hands. If He moved his arm in any direction the skeleton moved with it. The same could be said if he were to wiggle his fingers. Missouri stood awkwardly in front of him, staring.
"Kurt h-how's your exo?" She finally stuttered out, just as Kurt finished adjusting what now had been revealed as the Exoskeletons hands. Before 2004 exoskeleton were still a dream for the distant future, but once the world governments saw how their troops faired against an abyssal, they decided to pour a large amount of resources into the technology.
During the beginning of the Abyssal conflict, the exoskeletons were still large, and clunky. They mainly got in the way for soldiers during combat, but now Twenty years later they had slimmed down considerable. They now nearly layed flat on the wearers uniform. With the aide of the exo's the user could now run faster, jump higher, carry more weight, and handle large falls with ease. Additionally the Exo provided the user with an incredible strength boost. They could now punch a hole right through an Abyssal destroyer. Some experimental ones even aloud the user to glide across the water like Ship Girl's.
"Fine." Kurt said, as he stood up, while putting his helmet on. He slapped his armor plates a couple times, and tested his exo by punching, and kicking a couple of times. "And the gears holding up nicely." He said with a bright smile, as he tested his right arm.
"ETA five minutes. Prepare for decent on the Japanese island of Yoron." The pilot said across the speaker. Everyone immediately began to slap on their helmets, and ready their guns, as Frank walked out of the pilots cockpit.
Just as He began to ready his equipment, Ray approached him with a small white Bluetooth headset in his hand.
"Sir. The Ambassador is contacting us." He said, handing him the headset. Ray nodded his head, and put on a set of Military style sunglasses. The same could be said for the rest of Team Saber.
"Put him through." Frank said with nod, as he loaded his M27. Suddenly in the top right corner of everyone's sunglasses, a live feed of a man with narrow face, short brown hair, and solid green eyes. He looked like your standard politician. "Lieutenant Commander Irons." He said in an annoyed voice. The Ambassador looked very stressed. It was common knowledge that beginning a politician during this war caused a large amount of stress on the body.
"Ambassador." Frank said with a nod.
"I trust your men are prepared." He said across the comm.
"Yes Sir." Frank said, as he continued to move around in the Osprey.
"And the Missouri?" The Ambassador asked. Frank looked towards Missouri, who stood next to Kurt. She gave him a slight nod.
"Ready as well Sir." Frank said.
"Good. This will be our first display of power towards Japan. She's the symbol of our fleet." Ray, and Patrick simply rolled their eyes at the Ambassador comment.
"Understood Sir." Frank said just as he tested his Exo. Ray, and Patrick did the same, and Missouri inspected the back of Kurt's armor.
"Good now get your-" The Ambassadors link immediately shut off, and a loud explosion was heard from outside the Osprey.
"What the hell!?" Patrick shouted out. Frank immediately ran towards the cockpit, and began to yell at the pilot. "Report what's going on!?"
"Their Osprey just took a hit, it's losing altitude fast. Source of fire, two Abyssal fighter. Hot on our tail." The pilot shouted, as he jerked the Osprey to the right to avoid rocket fire.
"Dammit. Looks like we're on! Pilot open the loading ramp. We're going in!" Frank said, moving towards the back.
"Understood." The Pilot said with a slight nod, as he adjusted random controls in the Cockpit.
"Everyone get your exo's ready. We don't want any broken legs on the way down." He said, as he approached his team. "What's the status of the Ambassadors bird?" Missouri asked, as she checked her outfit for any problems.
"His Osprey just crashed down on the shoreline below us." The pilot said back in response.
"How are his vitals?" Kurt asked.
"Stable." The pilot said, as everyone moved the back of the Osprey. They all stood on the edge of the ramp. Frank in the middle. Patrick, and Ray to one side. Kurt, and Missouri to another.
"Good. Now Remember people." Frank said looking around at them hopping for a response.
"The only easy day was yesterday!" All four shouted out the Navy Seal motto, as they jumped from the bird. The Osprey had been flying over a strip of shoreline when they had jumped. The group glided down through the air, watching the two Abyssal fighter's speed by, and chase down their Osprey. A couple seconds later they all skidded to a stop on the shoreline. On one side was a forest that led farther into the island, and on the other side was the mighty Pacific Ocean.
All members of Team Saber checked their weapons, and armor before they began to move across the beach. In the distance you could see a column of smoke rising. "Abyssal fighter's just broke off pursuit, headed back your way." The Pilot voiced across the teams comms.
"Affirmative. Stay on standby, and relay the situation back to JSOC." Frank said. "Everyone good?" He asked turning back to his team.
"We're good here." Patrick said, as they continued to move across the beach slowly with their weapons raised.
"Missouri how's your outfit?" Frank asked.
"I'm good here Sir." She responded back, as her guns began to move or her back.
"Keep an eye out for any enemy fighters." Ray said looking up in the sky. A faint hum of engine's could be heard in the background, but one could tell that these were of some distance away.
"Closing in on the Osprey." Patrick said pointing to the downed aircraft in front of them. It hadn't been a very violent crash, but it was in no way flyable. It remained in one piece, but got itself lodged between two large boulders.
Saber Team moved along the edge of the forest, and crouched about one hundred feet away from it. The group sat in silence for a few minutes, watching, and waiting for any Abyssal's to show up.
"Ambassador are you alright?" Frank finally asked into his comms. A faint cough was heard, and then the sound of someone putting on a mic. "D-Dammit. I…..I'm good. Where are you?" He asked, voice full of desperation.
"About one hundred feet from your Osprey Sir." Frank said.
"Alright then. I'll head outside, and meet up with you." The Ambassador replied back. The sound of engine's began to get closer, and closer to the team.
"Negative Sir. Abyssal fighter's are still in the AO. Stay inside until, we get you." Frank said.
"Alright Lieutenant Commander." The Ambassador said, as Frank cut off the comm channel. "Missouri see anything on radar?" Frank asked, turning back to the battleship.
"One moment Sir." Missouri began to look up into the sky, and the faint sound of static could be heard coming from the back of her outfit. She put her hand up to the sky, and closed her eyes. A split second later both her eyes flew open, and she turned to Frank. "Yes two Abyssal fighter's, along with one Abyssal bomber headed to us from the North. ETA One mike." She said, her guns began to move slightly, as if they themselves were getting eager.
"Very well Missouri. You handle the enemy, and we'll secure the crash site." Frank said. He looked to the rest of his team. They all nodded in confirmation.
"Yes sir." She said, walking out of the treeline, and onto the beach.
"Let's move people." Frank yelled back at his squad. They all immediately began to spring in action. Saber rushed across the beach, and in a moment stood in front of the Osprey's loading ramp. Frank signaled Kurt, and Ray to head towards the front of the Osprey to check the cockpit, while him, and Patrick secured the Ambassador.
Kurt, and Ray jumped onto the cockpit, and began to inspect it. They saw two figures still in their seats. Kurt could see the slightest movements from both of them.
"Status of the pilots?" Frank asked over the comm.
"We're still here." One of the men shouted out from the cockpit. "Stay in there until tell we clear the area." Kurt said to the man. The man put up his thumb in confirmation. The roar of engine's had now gotten insanely loud meaning that the Abyssal's would upon in a matter of moments.
Kurt, and Ray jumped off of Osprey, and began to run back over to Frank, and Patrick. The four quickly began to regroup on the right side of the Osprey near a couple of large rocks. Ray quickly set up on the rocks with his rifle watching the beach. Missouri still stood by the treeline waiting patiently for the Abyssal's.
"You would think the Japanese would have their own airspace protected better." Patrick said looking up at the Osprey.
"Something doesn't feel right." Kurt said looking up into the sky. 'Why aren't the Japanese here yet? This was the correct island wasn't it?' He thought to himself. The thought was immediately interrupted by a large roar of cannon fire, signaling that Missouri had began to attack to Abyssal's.
"Get to cover! Get to cover!" Frank shouted out. The three immediately ran to the rocks by Ray, and waited. Soon enough two Abyssal fighter's soared over them. One was immediately shot down by Missouri, and spinned out of controls into the ocean.
"Missouri how much longer!" Patrick shouted out from behind cover, as the last fighter came around for another pass. It was aiming right for the Osprey, and them. "Missouri!" Patrick shouted out, as the rest of the team braced for the incoming fire.
Even before the Abyssal fighter could land a hit it was blown out of the sky. It immediately impacted onto the beach, and exploded into a fireball.
"Gotcha." Missouri said with a smirk, as her Cannons went back to their regular positions. Kurt, like the rest of his squad was incredibly relieved. But then realization hit the young Seal. There was suppose to be three Abyssal's not two.
"Wait where's the bomber!?" Kurt shouted out. The other three's faces paled upon realizing this. They all turned to Missouri, who had her eyes closed.
"It's moving east along the coastline, coming in at high speeds. It's not showing any sign of showing down!" Missouri shouted out pointing down the coast line. Everyone turned, and aimed their guns down range. A split second later the bomber came into view. It flew low to the ground, and had only one single bomb attached to it. Of course if you had fought the Abyssal's for the past twenty years you knew exactly what this was. "It's a suicide bomber!" Frank shouted out.
"Missouri take it down!" Kurt yelled to the Ship Girl.
"I'm reloading!" Missouri shouted back, she took out her sidearm, and began to open fire at the bomber.
"Dammit. Follow Missouri's lead! Open fire!" Frank commanded to the other's. Everyone began to open fire at the approaching bomber. Their rounds were simply bouncing off the armor, it was common knowledge that Abyssal's aircraft were as armored as an M1 Abrams, but still the men desperately tried. "Our rifles aren't making a dent in it's armor!" Patrick shouted out, reloading his rifle behind the rock.
Kurt knew he had to do something quick, or everyone would end up a fireball. So he thought of the only thing that might work. He took a deep breath, and took a second to check his Exo, because what he was about to attempt was extremely dangerous. He thought it over one more time, before he finally decided. He leaped over the rock, and sprinted full force at the Abyssal bomber.
"Kurt get back here!" Frank shouted from behind the rocks.
"No time!" He shouted back back, putting all his strength into his legs, which in turn with the help of his Exo, made him go faster. The bomber same as him continued to pick up speed.
"Kurt!" Missouri shouted out, but he ignored her. He was mere inches away from the bomber, everyone held their breaths. Kurt immediately side stepped the bomber, and latched onto it's side. With the power of his Exo, and an immense strain on his arms he forced the bomber to a complete stop to everyone's amazement. He began to sprint in the opposite direction with the bomber in hand. He felt it begin to shake under his arms. It was trying to get free. Not if Kurt could help it, he used all his power to toss the bomber up into the air. "Missouri now!" Kurt shouted out.
The Battleship knew exactly what he wanted her to do. As the bomber was still flying through the air, she aimed her now fully loaded cannons at the Abyssal. "DIE!" Missouri screamed out, blowing the bomber to ash.
Kurt looked up at the explosion for a moment, until he fell to his knees. Even with the Exo he still put a large strain on his muscles. 'I think I over did it.' He thought to himself.
"Holy shit Kurt. That was insane!" Patrick shouted out, as he sprinted out to him. Followed by a very worried Missouri.
"Yeah felt insane too." He said struggling to get up, he was immediately helped by Missouri.
"Are you ok!" She panicked.
'Yeah, yeah I'm good Missouri." Kurt said, with a smirk, as the pain began to subside, and he could now stand evenly.
"Good." She said with a smile giving him a tight hug.
"Where's Frank, and Ray?" He asked her, breaking off the hug.
"Getting the pilots, and the Ambassador." Patrick said, as he reloaded his M27. Static immediately began to go through everyone's radio, and a second later a voice came into Kurt's ears.
"This is the USS. John Paul Jones. We're on station two miles from your position, with the USS. Sampson. Is your team ok?" A voice asked through Kurt's headset. He was about to respond back, but then the sound of footsteps stopped him. The three turned to see Frank, and Ray walking towards them with the pilots, and the Ambassador.
"Roger that John Paul Jones we read you. Everyone's ok here." Frank said over his comms, walking up to them.
"Understood we're sending you extraction immediately." The voice said over the comm again. Frank walked past the three, and over towards the ocean. Ray stopped with the pilots, and Ambassador next to Kurt.
"Roger that." Frank said looking out towards the Pacific. The Ambassador began to brush off the dust from his black suit. "Now then-" but he was immediately interrupted by Missouri who immediately jerked her head towards the forest.
"We have an unknown contact approaching our position at 6 o'clock! It's coming in fast." She alerted everyone. The pilots took out their sidearms, and covered the Ambassador. The Seals readied their M27's, and Missouri pointed her guns towards the forest. A split second later a large black object came shooting over them, and began to circle them. Kurt immediately realized that this wasn't an Abyssal, mainly because of the large rotating blades in the top of it.
"That's a black hawk!" Patrick shouted out, still aiming his gun at it with caution.
"Friendly or not Sir?!" Ray shouted out, finger on the trigger. Kurt kept scanning the chopper, until an old but familiar insignia came into view. "It's got the JSDF insignia!" He shouted out, immediately lowering his rifle.
"Stand down! Stand down!" Frank shouted all around him. Everyone else lowered their guns, and let the black hawk land directly in front of them. Immediately the Helicopter doors slid open, and a man with short curly hair, black eyes, and glasses stepped out. He wore a set of naval dress White, and was flanked by two small girls that looked almost identical. They both wore matching serafuku, and had similar hair colors. One being reddish-brown hair with a small red hair pin on the left side. The other had brown hair with a small ponytail.
"Talk about showing up late to the party." Patrick said elbowing Ray in the side, resulting in a small chuckle from the man.
"Ambassador Dewey?" The man asked in a rough English accent. You could tell it wasn't his first language. Dewey stepped out from behind the pilots, and confronted the man."That's me."
"I am Admiral Shigeko Tansho negotiating for the Island nation of Japan." The man said with a bow. The two girls in each side of him also bowed.
"It's very nice to meet you." Dewey said bowing in return.
"Now I wish we could negotiate terms right now, but I am afraid that I'm in dire need of your assistance." Tansho said, with desperation in his eyes.
"What's wrong Admiral?" Dewey asked, voice full of concern. He didn't want there to already be a problem with their future alliance.
"Our Naval base is under attack by Abyssal forces. I was barely able to slip away, and talk with you. I need any assistance you can provide." He explained to them.
"What about the rest of your military? The JSDF isn't just going to let one of their naval bases fall." Frank said to the Admiral. Tansho turned to Frank with a saddened expression. "Our entire Fleet, and army is engaged in Hokkaido. No ones coming. They said to try, and speak with you." Tansho explained to him.
Frank already knew they wouldn't be able to assist. It wasn't his team's job to help them. All they had to do was take care of the Ambassador. "I'm sorry. But I'm afraid-" Frank was interrupted by the Ambassador, as he began to clear his throat, wanting to get everyone's attention.
"I'll send Seal Team Saber immediately, and I'll have our two Guided Missile Destroyers follow." The Ambassador said with a smile. This immediately made everyone on the team widened their eyes. The Ambassador couldn't do that. He didn't have the power.
"Thank you so much. Now we need to return or everyone will be wiped out." Tansho said beginning to walk back to the Helicopter.
"Uh…..yeah give us a minute." Frank said, turning back towards the Ambassador with a questioned expression.
"I understand. I'll wait for you on the chopper." The Admiral said walking off with the two little girls. Frank immediately approached the Ambassador.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Ambassador?" Frank asked staring him right in the face.
"Securing our alliance with Japan. The Ambassador said, with an emotionless voice.
"You don't have the authorization to do this." Patrick spat out.
"Of course I do. If you don't like it take it up with JSOC. " The Ambassador said, looking Patrick dead in the eye. This made the man back off.
"What about the two Destroyers?" Frank asked.
"I'll talk with Pacific Central Command. Listen Irons I know you don't like it, but it's for the better good. Trust me." The man said putting his hand on his shoulder. Frank stood still for a moment weighing his option, until her realized he had to take it. "Fine. Seal's let's move." Frank said. Everyone began to walk off towards the Black hawk.
"One more thing Iron's." The Ambassador called out to him causing him to stop. "What is it?"
"Missouri stay's with me." He said crossing his arms. This immediately put Kurt on edge, she still wasn't good at much social interaction.
"Understood." Frank said without hesitation. He knew that Missouri needed to stay, and guard the Ambassador.
"LC?" Missouri asked looking over at him.
"Go Missouri." Frank said motioning her to go over to him. She stood reluctantly for a moment, and stared at Kurt. "It'll be ok." He mouthed to her. She nodded her head. "Y-Yes Sir." She said walking over to him.
The four remaining Seals walked over to the JSDF black hawk, and a moment later after checking all their gear climbed into it. The Helicopter quickly began to lift off into the sky, leaving Missouri alone on the beach with the Ambassador, and Pilots.
"I thank you once again." Tansho said, as everyone began to get seated on the black hawk. Ray, Patrick, and Frank sat with the Admiral. On the opposite side Kurt sat with the two small girls.
"Don't mention it. We take care of our friends." Frank said with a smile, as he pushed up his visor. One of the small girls gasped in shock. Frank looked over at her with a confused look.
"Allow me to introduce to you Inazuma, and Ikazuchi." Tansho said with a small chuckle pointing to both of the girl's.
"Uh-um hello there." Inazuma said with a stuttered, avoiding eye contact.
"Hi!" Ikazuchi shouted out with a big smile. Both girl spoke in Japanese. Ray, and Patrick were taken back for a moment. For neither of them knew Japanese really well. Inazuma, and Ikazuchi looked at them awkwardly. The two Ship Girl's quickly figured out that the two Seals could not speak Japanese.
"Hello it's nice to meet both of you." Kurt said in perfectly fluent Japanese. Again Ray, and Patrick were taken back for a moment, and stared at Kurt. Inazuma, and Ikazuchi also stared at Kurt, but with amazement in their eyes. "You can speak Japanese?" Ikazuchi asked looking up at him with wide eyes.
"That's right." Kurt said with a smile, as he took off his ops-core helmet to fiddle with it. Inazuma, and Ikazuchi looked over his shoulders as he messed with it. "Could I try it on?" Ikazuchi asked looking up at him.
"Oh. Yeah sure." Kurt said handing off his helmet to her. She immediately put it on, and flipped down the GPNVG-18 goggles. "Wow this is so cool!" She exclaimed looking around the Helicopter with the goggles.
As the Girl's were enthralled with Kurt's equipment, Frank turned towards the Admiral. "So these are the Japanese Ship Girl's. I must say you do let them dress a little more…interesting then we do ours." Frank said looking at Inazuma, and Ikazuchi outfits one more time.
"We respect them highly. All of them are the only reason that Japan has survived these past four years." Tansho said looking back at the Girl's with a saddened smile. He had sacrificed many of them in battle to secure the safety of Japan.
"Where exactly are we going Admiral?" Patrick asked turning to him.
"To the island of Okinawa. After the U.S. moved out we set up our naval base their." Tansho explained to him.
"What kinda situation are we expecting? Do we have enough fire power to hold off the attack?" Frank asked, closing his eyes, and crossing his arms.
"It's tough to say. My Girl's have held the line so far." Tansho said, as Inazuma, and Ikazuchi played with Kurt's equipment.
"You mean Ship Girl's?" Frank asked turning to him.
"Yes the Okinawa base consists of nothing but Ship Girl's." Tansho revealed. Frank, Patrick, and Ray's eyes widened in shock
"What! Why the hell wouldn't your country send aide. Do you know how important they are!" Patrick yelled out pointing to Inazuma, and Ikazuchi who simply stared at him with confusion.
"We're stretched thin as it is." Tansho said taking off his Admiral's hat, and rubbing his head.
"We'll I'm glad we're here now." Patrick said putting both arms on the back of his neck staring out the window.
Inazuma handed Kurt back his helmet, which he gladly accepted. She then noticed the Exo suit strapped to his arms. "Um excuse me?" She asked, looking up at Kurt.
"Oh yes? How can I help?" He said looking down at her with a small smile.
"What's that?" She asked, pointing to the Exo.
"Oh this? This is the latest model of Exo suits." Kurt said with a smirk flexing his bicep showing off the Exo.
"Exo Suit's?" Inazuma, asked innocently. Japan never pushed for an advancements in Exo suit technology during the early two thousands, much to the rest of the world's disappointment.
"Yeah. It let's us go head to head with the Abyssal's on even ground." He said to her. Ikazuchi began to look, and then fiddle with his Exo suit.
"This is so cool!" She said, as she began trying to move Kurt's arms, much to his protest. "Hey will you-" He was immediately interrupted by the violent shaking of the black hawk.
Tansho jerked his head back looking into the cockpit. "Pilot status!" He shouted.
"We're getting flak from Abyssal fire! I'll try to dodge the best I can!" The Pilot shouted back, as bullets flew past the cockpit. "I'm bringing us down near the base prepare yourselves!" He shouted out, as the chopper began to descend. Kurt immediately put back on his helmet, and stared out the window. He could see a large base below them. The base was shipped like a crescent moon, with a small island in the middle.
"Everyone hold on!" The pilot shouted out again, as flack bounced around the Black Hawk once again. "I'll try to get you near your office Admiral!" He said, as the Helicopter began to come to a stop. Kurt looked out too see a large roof in front of them. Their chopper was on the very edge.
"Go, go, go!" Frank shouted out, as he jumped out of the Black Hawk, and onto the roof, followed by the rest.
Kurt, and Inazuma were the last ones in the chopper when suddenly a rocket flew past them, and smacked into the rotor. "Dammit I'm hit!" The pilot shouted out, as the Helicopter began to destabilize. "Kurt grab my hand!" Frank shouted out reaching towards him. Just as Kurt was about to grab it Inazuma stumbled back, and flew hit the other door of the Helicopter. Kurt looked back at Frank for a moment, and then moved back into the Helicopter to grab Inazuma just as it began to lose altitude. "HOLD ON!" Kurt shouted out, as he grabbed Inazuma, and held her close.
The Black Hawk smacked against a tree, and then crashed into the ground below violently. Kurt was thrown around a bit but Inazuma was unharmed. The pilot too survived with no injuries.
"Kurt you ok?" Frank asked over his headset. Kurt groaned for a moment but then tapped the button on his headset to respond. "I'm here. Same with Inazuma." He said looking down at the girl who looked up at him with uneasiness.
"What about the pilot?" Frank asked. Kurt looked up to the pilot seat. The man in return gave him a thumbs up. "I'm trapped in my seat up here. Mind helping me out?" He asked struggling to get free.
"He's good." Kurt replied back.
"Great now-" Franks voice was immediately interrupted by the sound of gunfire. "Dammit we're taking fire we have to move inside. Kurt make your way inside." He shouted out before cutting off the comm.
Kurt then set Inazuma down, and moved up towards the pilot to help free him. He immediately stopped when he heard an all to familiar sound approach the downed chopper. A metallic like growling sound was soon heard outside the Black Hawk. It was an Abyssal Destroyer. These fierce creatures would sometimes jump on land during an invasion, to battle the enemy. The thing people feared most about them though was that they were just like sharks. Man eaters. The pilot upon hearing this sound too, and immediately turned back to Kurt with desperation in his eyes.
"Hey you hear me! Help me!" He shouted out just as something heavy jumped onto the cockpit. "NO! HELP ME PLEASE!" He screamed out, trying to reach out to Kurt.
Kurt knew he had to save the man fast or it would be a very gruesome end. "Hold still!" Kurt shouted out, taking out his knife. The Destroyer began to rip away at the cockpits glass. Raising the man's fears even further. "It's breaking through the glass!" The man screamed out in horror. Kurt finally got the mangled seat free, and began to pull the man out. Only he wouldn't move, Kurt looked down to see the man's leg caught onto something. "Your legs stuck!" Kurt screamed, out just as the Destroyer ripped through the glass.
The man looked up in horror at the menacing Abyssal. The Destroyer opened it's wide mouth, and began to move into the cockpit. The pilot desperately tried to get free, with the aide of Kurt. Kurt didn't want to risk using his full strength, otherwise he would rip the man's leg clean off. The man looked back at Kurt one last time. "PLEASE DEAR GOD HELP ME! I DON'T WANNA-" The man was was never able to finish his sentence, as the Abyssal jumped into the cockpit, and torn the man apart. Kurt quickly moved back from it. Suddenly shots flew past his ear, and impacted into the back of the mans skull putting him out of his misery. The other bullets smacked into the Destroyers face. The creature quickly moved back out of the cockpit. Kurt slowly turned back to see Inazuma who was in tears holding his M27. No kid should've had to do that, even if she was a Ship Girl.
"Inazuma." Kurt began but was immediately interrupted by the loud roar of the Destroyer. Without thinking he quickly scooped up Inazuma, and rammed into the Black Hawk door with his shoulder. The door was immediately sent flying off, and Kurt flew out sprinting towards the building they were suppose to land on, with Inazuma in his arms.
Suddenly the metallic roaring was heard from behind him. He turned his head to see the Destroyer following him on Alligator type legs. Kurt knew he couldn't out run this thing. So without a second thought Kurt set Inazuma down, who still had his M27 in her hands. "Cover me. Will ya." He said with a smirk, eyes covered by his sunglasses. She gave him a slight nod before he turned to back to face the Destroyer.
"Now then!" He shouted out while taking out his combat knife. The Destroyer simply roared our, as it picked up speed. Kurt too began to sprint ahead.
Time seemed to slow down for the man, as he ran to his enemy. Inazuma stood behind him, nervous to high hell, but steady with the rifle. She knew she had to protect him. The two finally reached each other, and Destroyer open it's blood stained mouth. Kurt simply smirked, knowing that the Destroyers teeth weren't particular sharp, reached his arms into the mouth of the beast. He held it's upper jaw with his hand, and it's lower with his right leg. Kurt immediately drew his Walther P22, and shot down into it's throat.
The Destroyer began to scream in pain, as it began to thrash around, trying to move Kurt. But the man wouldn't move an inch, instead he dug his knife directly into it's eye, causing more pain. Kurt then jumped back from the creature's mouth, and ran to it's underbelly, there he used all his strength to (Much to Inazuma's amazement) lift it up into the air. Then with all his strength he threw the Abyssal in the opposite direction of them. "Inazuma light it up!" He shouted back to her, taking out a grenade from his belt.
Inazuma, with a great amount of nervousness began to fire at the Abyssal. It immediately roared in pain, trying to get up. "Not if I can help it!" He yelled out throwing the grenade at the Destroyer. A split second later the explosive went off, blowing the beast to pieces.
Kurt watched for a moment, as the explosion faded away, and nothing was left but ash. He breathed heavily, glad that it was over.
"Kurt are you ok!" Inazuma shouted out running towards him, with his M27 in hand.
"Yeah." He said wiping sweat off of his face.
"T-That was amazing." She said looking up at him with wide eyes. She had never seen a single man do that. What would've taken a full squad of soldiers, Kurt did by himself.
"Kurt where the hell are you?!" Franks voice boomed across his headset.
"On our way sir!" Kurt shouted out running along side of the building with Inazuma hot on his tail. The two quickly reached the front of the building, and Kurt's eyes widened at the sight before him. The Admiral office sat smack dab in the middle of the crescent of the island. Meaning he had a full view of the bay. Kurt could see dozens of Ship Girl's fighting Abyssal's in the water, and hundreds of aircraft above. It was total war.
Just as Kurt, and Inazuma were about to move a massive bomb struck the entrance way to the Admiral's office. Debris, and other objects were sent in every direction, hitting Kurt, and Inazuma.
"Dammit you ok Inazuma?" He asked looking down at the girl.
"I-I'm fine." She stuttered out, trying to get her barrings. Kurt looked back towards the entrance, and saw it was covered in rubble. "Frank we have a problem."
"Yeah. We heard if from here." The old man's voice said across the mic. Inazuma could now hear his voice as well from her radio receiver.
"So what now?" Kurt asked staring back out to the war torn harbor.
"Tansho says that one of his aircraft carrier is in dire need of assistance. She won't last without support. I'll send you her location, on your HUD." Frank informed him, he immediately sprang into action, and began to follow the blue arrow on his sunglasses to the west of the building. "Understood Sir. I'm on my way."
"Another thing. Inazuma is ordered to link up with the rest of her Ship sisters." He added.
"You get that?" Kurt asked staring back at her.
"Uh-huh." She said with a saddened expression. She didn't want to leave Kurt's side during this battle. Inazuma hadn't told anyone besides Ikazuchi, but this had been her first real conflict. Kurt kneeled down beside her, and a warm smile formed across his face.
"Alright thanks. You've been a big help." Kurt said with a charismatic smirk, and a thumbs up. A small blush quickly formed on Inazuma's face, as she handed him back the M27. "I-I hope we see each other again." Inazuma said with a smile, before running off in the opposite direction as Kurt. She didn't know how accurate her statement would be.
"Me too." Kurt said waving to her, before turning back around facing the blue arrow with M27 in hand. "Alright let's go!" He shouted, taking off sprinting to a small treeline near the Admiral's office.
In no time flat Kurt was already nearing the position on his HUD. He made his way through the treeline, until shouting, and sinister metallic roars made him stop in his tracks. He raised his rifle in the direction. He flipped down his GPNVG-18's and peered farther into the treeline, towards the blue arrow.
He gasped at the sight he saw through the goggles. A Girl, all bruised, and bloody surrounded by eight Abyssal Destroyer's on each side. She was a brunette, with a side ponytail, and autumn colored eyes. The girl wore a muneate over white and blue clothes, which looked extremely torn. She stood on one knee looking around at all the Abyssal's defiantly. In one hand she held a beaten, and battered bow. In the other she held a small knife.
"Kurt have you found the Aircraft carrier yet?" Franks voice echoed across his comms loudly. Some of the Abyssal's turned towards the source of the sound, that's when Kurt decided to reveal himself, by popping up from the bushes, Rifle raised.
"American!" The Girl spat out, seeing the US Flag patch on Kurt's shoulder. Anger, and fear could both be seen on her face, as she stared at Kurt.
The Seal was a little taken back for a moment. He had never heard a Ship Girl sound so hostile towards him. But no matter he had to save her.
Four Abyssal's Destroyer's broke off from the formation of the girl, and advanced towards him. "So that's how it's going to be. Time for AP rounds." He said to himself, loading a fresh mag into the rifle. The mag had a red mark painted across the side of it.
The Destroyers roared in anger and began to sprint towards Kurt. The Seal simply clicked the safety of his rifle, and opened fire at the approaching enemies. Lucky for him these AP rounds could slice through Destroyer armor like a hot knife through butter.
Two of the Destroyers were easily brought down, and a third followed. The fourth was more intelligent then it's brothers. It began to zig-zag back and fourth dodging the shots.
Kurt knew that it would take him longer to bring it down then the time allowed. He had to get to that Girl. The Seal decided to take it to a hand to hand combat fight, by taking out his knife. The Abyssal saw this, and jumped into the air to get the upper hand on him, but Kurt was expecting this. He slid under the Destroyer, and sliced open it's vulnerable under belly with his combat knife. Kurt gave it no chance to even think about retaliating, as he wiped back around, and open fire with his M27 emptying his clip into the Abyssal.
The creatures lifeless body slide across the ground, until it came to an abrupt stop.
Kurt was about to celebrate until a loud scream drew his back to the Ship Girl. He turned back to see the Girl holding the jaws of one of the Destroyers. Two layed dead next to her, and another was circling around behind the Girl. He had to do something, he had no time to reload his M27, and his pistol wouldn't breach it's armor. So like last time, Kurt did the only thing he could think of. He charged the Abyssal.
Kaga stood struggling against one of the last Abyssal's Destroyer's. She had killed the other two, while the rest went off the kill that American. "At least I have sometime." She said to herself knowing that the man wouldn't last that long. As the crucial seconds passed, she caught the glimpse of something approaching her. She guessed it was another Destroyer. "Damn American. Can't even last that long in a fight." She said to herself, a second later her eyes widened in shock, when she saw the American running straight at her. 'What are you doing!' She screamed out in her head, before she heard a low metallic growl behind her. "On no." Kaga said beginning to lose against the Abyssal trying to devour her. She already knew their was one behind her, but she wasn't able to do anything.
"Well this is it. Akagi I'm sorry. Look's like I'll be joining you after all." She said out loud, with a sad smile as the Destroyer won, and her strength failed, just as the one behind her lunged towards her. Kaga knew this was the end for her, but she hated know that an American would witness her demise. Wait a second where was the American?
She was immediately pushed out from between the two creatures. Kaga stumbled to the ground, before a bone chilling chomp was heard from where she just had been. She looked up, and her eyes widened in shock.
It was the American! He had pushed her out of the way, and took her place between the two Abyssal.
Kurt grunted in pain, as he managed to survive the two Abyssal's attacks. He held one of them at bay with a combat knife to the back of it's throat. The other was…more problematic. It had completely bypassed his arm he had used to try, and block the creature. Instead it's jaws landed straight on Kurt's Torso, beginning to crush his ribs.
Knowing he wouldn't have much time, he shouted out in a roar of defiance. "D-Dammit. I don't have time for this!" He jammed his knife farther into the Abyssal's throat, took out his pistol, and fired directly into it's mouth. It screamed out for a moment, before dropping dead on the ground. The other was immediately enraged at the sight, and crushed down harder on his ribs. He felt the painful feeling of bones snaping, but he wasn't all to surprised. Kurt already knew some were already broken, but he had to keep pushing through it.
Kurt rammed his knife into the Abyssal's soft underbelly, and lit up it's eyes with his sidearm. The Destroyer pressed down with all it's might on Kurt's ribs, causing one to dislocate, and puncture his lung.
His face paled, realizing what had just happened, and from the immense pain. The Destroyer began to whip him from side to side, as it was doing this he took out his last frag grenade, and pulled the pin. A second later the creature sent him soaring, and landing near Kaga. His helmet was also sent flying off his head, which landed in the far treeline, and his sunglasses shattered against the bark of a nearby tree. A slit second later a violent explosions erupted under the Destroyer, sending it back to the Abyss.
Kurt weakly looked up with a smirk, as blood began to trail down the side of his mouth.
"W-Why did you help me?" A voice asked from next to him. He looked over to see the Girl staring down at him, with concern, and a questioning look.
"Beside from order's. I wasn't going to let you die." Kurt said with a weak, but kind smile, which caused the Girl to gently blush. "No one had said that to me sense.…" She trailed off thinking of her sister. She looked back down to the man, only to see more blood flow out of his mouth, as his eyes slowly closed. "H-Hey stay with me! American stay with me! Hey!?" Kaga shouted out shaking his body. Kurt's consciousness began to fade, as the sound of yelling was all he could hear.
