This is the first time i have wrote a kantai collection fanfiction. I honestly don't know to much about the characters so if i wrote something incorrect about them i would highly appreciate it if you told me.

Also i'm not english and are therefore not the best a writing in english.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own kantai collection (i only own the story).

-Chapter 1/prologue-

Shimakaze was on her way to the commander's office to get info about a mission. When she arrived the others in her fleet where already there. She was in a temporary fleet with Yuudachi, Fubuki, Mutsuki, Kongou, Hiei and herself.

"Okay, now that's everyone is here i'll explain the mission" said the commander. "Yesterday we got reports of an abyssal fleet near one of our bases, I want you six girls to go and investigate it" he continued."Kongou you will be the flagship for this mission".

With that they headed out to the sea

They had now gone half the way to the place where the abyssals had been spotted. It was 1 hour till they would arrive to their destination. It was a very silent trip and they went way to slow for shimakaze's liking. "Why are we going so slow?" said Shimakaze as she broke the silence. "Because everyone is not as fast as you" answered Fubuki. "Then i can go ahead" said Shimakaze in an impatient tone. "no u cant because it could be really dangerous to go alone, we don't know what kind of abyssals it is or how many there is". said Fubuki.

Shimakaze knew that what Fubuki said was true but she wouldn't give up. "Then i can go ahead to check what abyssals it is and how many there are" said Shimakaze."That's to dangero-"Fubuki couldn't finish before she was interrupted. "That's not a bad idea" said Kongou. both of Shimakaze's and Fubuki 's gazes moved to their flagship as she spoke up.

"If Shimakaze goes ahead and get info about the abyssal fleet we would probably have it much easier to defeat them" said Kongou. "Yesss!" said Shimakaze to herself."But if we send you ahead you are allowed to only investigate and not let them spot you, you must come back when you're done investigating and if something happens you can break the radio silence"continued Kongou."Yes ma'am" said Shimakaze as she saluted.

After that she set away. It would take 7 minutes for her to reach the destination at top speed.

She looked back to see if her teammates was in sight, they were not. Soon a island appeared in the horizon. It was the base where the abyssals had been near. Though the abyssals had been spotted around 5 kilometer north round the island.

Shimakaze continued to the destination. Then she could see the abyssal fleet appear in the horizon. She slowed down and looked for something to hide behind. She knew that this area had many rocks that was perfect to use as cover. She hid behind a rock about 200 meters away from the enemy fleet. Shimakaze looked at the fleet. She could see three destroyers Ha-class, two light cruiser To-class, one standard carrier Wo-class and one… Shimakaze looked at the last enemy trying to figure out what it was. However she had never seen it before.

There was something that felt really wrong about the unknown enemy. Shimakaze decided to break radio silence even though it wasn't an emergency. Shimakaze started the radio and spoke "destroyer Shimakaze reports, There are three destroyer Ha-class, two light cruiser To-class, one standard carrier Wo-class and one unidentified enemy".

She didn't have to wait long for a response. "Roger, we're almost there, stay where you are" came Kongou's voice through the radio. Though when Shimakaze took a peek to see if the enemy had moved she was terrified to find the unidentified enemy's canons directed towards her. And before Shimakaze could react the enemy had fired.

Shimakaze closed her eyes ready for the impact of the bullets. But instead she could feel the air she was breathing becoming thicker. She opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by green smoke. Shimakaze held her breath and got away from there. She hid herself behind another rock. She tried to calm her breaths. She felt how a sudden headache hit her, however it disappeared as fast as it came.

The enemy properly noticed her when she broke radio silence. All she could do now was wait for her fleet to come.

Seconds later she could hear bullets being fired which meant her fleet was here. Shimakaze got out from her hiding spot to assist her fleet. After five minutes they had sank all of the enemies except one, the unidentified. The last enemy somehow got away with only minor injuries.

Then Shimakaze started to feel the headache again. Though it was much worse this time. "Are you okay?" asked Hiei as she came up behind Shimakaze. "Yeah...it's just a headache, i will be fine" answered Shimakaze. "Alright, lets head back to the base!" said Kongou in a cheerful tone.

When they had come back they made a report about the unknown abyssal and got some rest. The clock was 22:43 and everyone was supposed to sleep now. Shimakaze was however lying awake in her bed. The headache was still there even worse than before. It felt as something was whispering in her head, It wasn't human. With that the destroyer shimakaze fell asleep.
