Chapter 1 A New Dawn

Location: Naval Station Great Lakes

Time: Unknown

The skies over the Great lakes where filled with clouds normally this wouldn't post any concerns to anyone if it hadn't been that the clouds were a dark inky black color as if death had decide to make this home. The origins of this black sky could be followed to the water of the lakes as it showed what appeared to human's figures skating across the water with what appeared to be black boats. But with a closer look showed there true self's the humanoid figures where covered in a black shiny material that almost look like polished lava rocks there skin was pale white that made them look like ghosts, their eyes ranged from a light blue color to piercing red eyes. There were three of them each having a different feature the first was a girl with blue eyes and white hair she was wearing what appeared a white skin tight jump suit. Around her neck was what appeared to be a collar that look like rows of teeth she also was wearing black skin tight pants that went all the way down and into her heel shoes that were a black color. In her hands was a black staff that seemed to have a shape of a screw near its bottom. But what topped it off was the headgear she was wearing it look like some type of hat that look like the top part of a mushroom but in a deep black color, on each side was twin cannon mounts. Near her face on each side was a pair of white tentacles that reach a good length, adding to the creepy factor was that in the front of the headgear was what appeared a mouth that was made up of with teeth above that were two giant holes that were glowing on top of the hat giving the illusion of eyes. She had no name but to her enemies she was none as Wo Class.

The next on off to her right was another human figure she had black hair and glowing green eyes she was head shorter than the other girl and had black boats. The clothing that she was wearing could only be described as a black bikini but stood out was the two cannons that her arms had each had cannons on the front of the cannons was a mouth of teeth that surrounded each one on her back was a plug that seemed to connect to each cannon, she was Ri Class.

The next girl could be called the most powerful of the three she was wearing a black dress and black dress shoes, her head had two curved horns the very tips were red but unlike the other girls she wasn't skinning across the water instead she was riding a monstrosity that covered in guns teeth and muscle in the center was a giant head that pitch black and had huge maw that was filled with teeth. On each side were triple single turret cannons, the monster had two giant muscle arms and hands that look like it can break through steel it was here that she was riding on one of those arms. Just like other girl she had a plug that was connected on her neck that seem to connect to the monster she was riding, she was none as Battleship Princess or Symbiotic Hime. The last of their group was the creatures that surrounding them they were the size of small whales and had huge white teeth and huge empty sockets that seemed to glow as their eyes, inside their mouths were two cannons they were simple known as i-class.

All together they represent the new enemy in which humanity was fighting they were simply called the Abyssal's, no one knows where they came from all they know is that they came and simple attack any ship that they caught their eyes on causing humanity to fall back from the seas. To counter this humanity came up with a new weapon the fleet girl, basically they were old warships from the past that were compacted into a human from including their strength and fire power while on the water but on land were just normal humans. Japan was the first to summon fleet girls and set the blueprints for all other nations to follow, but like all new weapons there were problems the main being that some of them came as young teens or even kids which didn't set well with most nations since it was a taboo for sending children into war. But facing the survival of their race they had no choice so they agreed even if they thought it was wrong, the second problem was the time period the girls came from which was the second world war which caused many nations to fear that some who were enemies in the past would fight with on another due to their standing in the war, so it was decide to keep them separate until they could be introduced to each other in a calmly matter. With that in mind they decide on a battle plan Germany, Italy,Britain and France would deal with the Mediterranean Sea and some parts of the Atlantic, the Russians would deal with the north, meanwhile Japan would deal with the Asian waters and the Pacific and the United States would deal both with the Pacific and the Atlantic as well.

Soon both sides began the long fight against the abyssal fleet losing some and winning some on both sides hooping the war would come to an end.

Back with the Abyssal's task force it was in a word rare for a task force with this much fire power patrolling along the borders but they weren't taking any chances. Not too long ago one of their patrol task forces didn't report back to base which caused some of the Wo class carriers to send recon planes to see what was going, to their shock the recon aircraft got shot down before even getting close to their last known location. Fearing that a large task force of fleet girls were heading in their direction they decide to move in and confront the force head on and get rid the last of the fleet girls in the area once and for all. Soon the task force reached the last known location of the patrol fleet the scanned the area only finding bits and pieces of what was left of them causing them to be on high alert.

Then without warning something streak pass them at high speed hitting one of the I-class destroying it in one blow causing the task force to get in attack position then other object flew by them hitting another I-class and then other and other soon in a matter of minutes all most all of their destroyers were gone. Soon the Wo class was about to launch fighters when all of them heard a low rumble they all turned to see a dozen specs in the horizon coming in at high speeds, soon the fired white flashes before more explosions rocked the remaining abyssal causing most to be heavily damaged before they could even thinking of retaliating they soon heard the one sound that they dread the most, the sounds of bombs being drop. All of them looked up seeing that the specs flew over dropping there payload, for abyssal's task force this was the end of the line as the bombs hit sinking every last one of them to abyss in which they came from.

High above in the sky the specs soon reveal themselves as the circled the area the loud roaring engines showed that they were jets but it was the iconic swept wings that gave away their identity. They were none other than F-14 Tomcats a large but supersonic naval fighter that were used by the us navy, there were 12 of them cross crossing the area making sure that there enemy was indeed gone. Seeing that nothing appeared the lead aircraft radio to others and turned left with the others following, a few minutes later they reached there destination not too far to their left in the water was a tall man around 20 years of age he had brown eyes and black hair his clothing was could easily describe a US navy captains uniform. But what really took the cake was not only he was floating the water but the equipment that he was equipped with on his right arm was a flight deck that all most covered his entire arm, on his back was a piece of metal in the shape of a Nimitz class command center nickname the island that was sitting up straight next to it was a black quiver that had rotating mechanism making it easier to retrieve the arrows. On his shoulders were two small Phalanx Close-in Weapons adding as his major AA defense on his hips were missile launchers that contained NATO Sea Sparrow missiles adding even more AA and attack power. His shoes were navy dress shoes but instead of being made of the plastic material they were metal, on the back were a pair detachable rudders.

He turned his head picking up the messages from his aircraft stating that the mission was a success with that he lifted his arm flatting out the flight deck, with that the aircraft began there landing approach the first one touchdown catching one of the wires across the deck but then something unexpected happen right when it fully stop as if from science fiction the aircraft began to break down. The last thing that showed it every existing was a 3d outline before disappearing after 3 minutes or so all of his aircraft returned causing a black arrow with grey fins with the number 14 on it to appear in his quiver.

"God job boys couldn't done better me self" he then put his bow over his shoulder

"Yea sure glad there on our side" Nimitz smiled as he turned toward the voice showing a young boy around the age of 14 he was wearing a white short sleeve shirt with black pants and a US Navy blue cap. On his back was could be described as the funnel of a modern day US Navy destroyer underneath connected on each side were vertical missile launchers which were connected and controlled by a target gun that he held in his left hand or connected on his hip. Connected to top part of his backpack funnel on its own stable platform was a 5-Inch/54-caliber (Mk 45) lightweight gun that he either he controlled mainly with handle trigger connected underneath it or with the laser targeting gun as well. His shoes were normal black shoes that were covered in grey metal on the back end were red rudders,

"Yes it's good that they are on our sides Higgins otherwise it would be a bit of a challenge shooting down abyssal fighters flying a 500mph" he chuckle

Higgins joined in "Yea it would be I'm just glad that my missiles hit there mark"

"You did well Higgins"

"Yea you did good kid looks like your training paid off"

Both turned toward the new voice, he was around the same height and age as Nimitz he had black hair and green eyes, he was wearing a blue combat camouflage US Navy uniform complete with cap that had a metal plate on each side and boots which were metal like Nimitz. His equipment was like Higgins at first the only staying the same was the funnel backpack, on the back was a Phalanx, on the sides were large missile launchers underneath them on each side were the front bow of a ship each with four vertical launchers within them on top of the left bow piece was one 5-Inch/54-caliber (Mk 45) lightweight gun which was controlled along with the missile's a targeting gun as well, next to it was other Phalanx weapon. Unlike the other two men who's uniform were untouched from the enemy his was torn in serval small places while one of his missile launchers has a dent on the side.

"Ticonderoga you did close combat again didn't you" Nimitz sighed

"Hey got to keep my combat skills in top shape what better way then bashing abyssal's into the unholy place where they came from" he said with a smug on his face

Higgins gave a worried look "Yea but it caused your equipment to get damaged and you know Arctic isn't going to happy about that"

"Well deal with when we get there kid right now I'm feeling for a good old burger and some soda to" with that he turned around and stared to head back to base. Higgins couldn't help but be confused by his actions

"Even though I been with him since the day I was brought to this world it stills amazes me how he can be care free like that even though he knows the very same weapons that he uses to hunt abyssal's can kill him if their hit"

Nimitz shrugged "It's how he is and no one is going to changed that" he turned to Higgins "Come on lets head back ill radio command that were heading back" Higgins nodded following Ticonderoga Nimitz then putting a finger to his ear piece "This is UN Fleet to command enemy fleet sunk I repeat enemy fleet sunk"

An hour later they soon made it to base it was a naval listing out post when they first came here but that was year ago now it was a fully functional naval base that would be the training ground for future ship girls to come if the US decided to bring more into the fight. They soon enter into the hanger the metal doors closing behind them. They then got on their platforms soon the sound of machinery was heard as robotic arms began to take their equipment off them,

"So I see that you two can back unscathed" the voice was from the team's repair/field medic ship USS Artic he was averaged sized person with pricing light blue eyes and glasses and silver hair his cloths consisted of large white trench coat that was covering a black jumpsuit his left arm had pieces of upper deck of his ship self on his right was metal plate that a red cross and a wrench mix into together. He was wearing mid leg black boats that had metal plates on the back showing wear his rudders would attach to,

"Yea we let are weapons do the talking for us" Nimitz turned toward Ticonderoga who was having a hard time getting out of his equipment due to certain parts being bent inwards.

"So what's the damage?"

"Well his launcher is going to be need to be repaired, his attached points to his engines are going to be replaced as well as one of the Phalanx weapons" Artic listed and sighed his hand on his head "Other than his brain I am unable to fix sadly"

Nimitz laughed that last of his equipment came of as step of his platform "So did you punish him?"

He got his answer as Ticonderoga came past them grumbling under his breath something about stupid abyssal's and their guns. "Yea, told him that he'll be having MRE rations for a week and that he is helping making breakfast for the rest of this week to" he smiled

"Oh which reminds me cap wanted to talk to you"

The smiling from Nimitz faced disappear and was replaced on of professionalism "did he say what it was about?"

"Not really he told me to just tell you that he wanted to see you that's all"

He nodded "thanks Artic" he made his way toward the main exit, Artic then turned his attention to Ticonderoga equipment that was now on his work bench "looks like I'm working all night again" he sighed and began on the repair work.

Meanwhile Nimitz had made his way to his commanding officer office he fixed his coat and knock on the door. "Come" was what he heard giving him the go ahead he opened the door inside reveled a normal office with two class cases on either side of the wall showing pictures and medals in front of him were two brown chairs that were in front of a wooden desk that belong to the man that wanted to see him. His name was Edward Brown he was the commander of the base when it was out post and since then has been the boys commander ever since they came a year ago. He was an old gentlemen having brown hair that was starting to go white his orange eyes showing the years he's been through having been served in the navy for quite a awhile he made sure that his men were not only up to military standard but also working together as a team.

Nimitz closed the door behind him he then stood at attention "Sir"

Edward saluted him back "take a seat Nimitz" he did so removing his cap and putting in his lap. Edward smiled "You and your brothers have grown into well-armed and well discipline men Nimitz I couldn't be more proud to have train all of you guys"

"Thank you sir, it was thanks to you that we've become the ships we are now today"

"Indeed you have, but let's get down to business we be here all night if we continue this conversation. I just got word from HG the are very impressed and shock to have find out that almost all abyssal's have been removed from the Great lakes area and that shipping is slowly making it's way back on these waters." He then pulled back a draw pulling out a folder and handing it to Nimitz "So shock in fact that there doing this"

Nimitz open the folder his eyes began scanning the words that were held within the paper that the folder contained "Sir were-"

"Being transferred to Pearl Harbor effective immediately congrats son"

Nimitz couldn't help but be shock within parts of him were excited that he and his brothers were being transferred to the front lines to fight along their fellow comrades the ship girls. But soon one thought came in "Sir with us leaving what's going to be happing to you?"

Edward smiled "They decide to use this place as a training/boot camp base for new ships being that the only abyssal's ship here now are destroyers and light cruisers makes it an excellent place for them to get there sea and combat legs, so don't worry son I'll be fine"

Nimitz couldn't help but smile but that smile as soon two more thought pop up in his head. "Something else is on your mind isn't there" Brown asked seeing the thinking Nimitz is doing.

It's hard to believe that Nimitz the first of his class the largest and most powerful ship human every made was actually scared and nervous of going to Pearl Harbor due to one ship he had been think about ever since he was made. "Sir it's just well-

"You're thinking about USS Langley aren't you son" Edward announced hitting right on the ball as saw Nimitz look up briefly before looking down

"Yes sir I was I'm just worried that even though I'm a carrier and that all carriers can trace their existence to her that she'll wont expect me as one of-"

"Let me stop you right there son, because all I'm hearing coming from your month is nonsense" he then pushed himself from his desk showing him the wheelchair he was stuck in and wheeled himself next to Nimitz.

"Nimitz in all my life I have never meet someone with as much military professionalism while having a caring hart for those that need it so I don't want to hear it that she won't expect you as one of her own because I know for a fact that she will expect you" he then put a hand on his shoulder "so don't worry about alright?"

Nimitz was looking at him throughout the entire explanation eating the words that were feed to him understanding fully that he will be ready when the time comes.

"Understood sir" he said with a smile of his own feeling the second thoughts disappearing away within himself.

"Good that is all you are dismiss I want you to explain to the rest of your brothers what's going on, you guys will be leaving first thing in the morning"

Nimitz then stood up and saluted and then made his way out heading toward the mess hall to speak with the rest of his brothers.

"Were being transferred to Pearl?!" said a shock Higgins he wasn't the only ones either, Nimitz was able to get all of them in time as he found them in the middle of lunch in the mess hall. Higgins as he saw was a mixture of nervousness and excitement of the transpired events, Arctic had a look of curiosity thinking what type of equipment he will be working with when they get there. Ticonderoga on the other hand had face filled with concern and wasn't looking to forward to it.

"Is there problem Ticon?"

"Yea there is" he said crossing his arm across his chest "how are the other ships going to be treating use when we get there?"

Higgins's tilted his head in confusion "What do you mean Ticon we are all US Navy ships why would they treat us different?"

"Reason why kid is that most of the ships were from WW2 a time in which we didn't exist in" he gave Nimitz serious looked "which means they might think since us being ships from a more modern era as weak due to us not having the same armor and combat experience as they do" The group was silence thinking on Ticon words while it was true that they were different (more ways than one) to their ww2 comrades still didn't mean that they shouldn't be treated different.

"I for one think it won't come to that Ticon like Higgins said we all are US Navy ships fighting for the same reason protecting our country and her allies to the fullest" Nimitz said being proud of the words he just said he then smiled "And if and only if they do see use different then well just do the old fashioned way" he said

Ticonderoga smiled "which is?"

"Blasting away abyssal's so hard and fast that they'll even won't have a chance to fire their own guns"

Ticonderoga laughed "True there I'll show those girls what happens when you looked down on a missile cruiser"

Artic rolled his eyes "Jokes aside when are leaving?"

Nimitz stood up "We leave first thing in the morning so I suggest that you guys start packing your gear" They all replied a "yes sir" to him before they all went to their separate ways to begin packing up.

Arctic then came up to Nimitz "so do I have to sedate him again?"

"Yea we are going to be going in a C-17 so it would be most helpful if you did sedate Ticonderoga when we get to the runaway"

Arctic chuckled "Hard to believe that guy who fights day and night and has the most powerful weapons is scared to death of flying in aircraft" he then made his way to his room Nimitz doing the same as well.

They soon got up the next day all four men havening there duffel bags filed with their belongings. To make it even quicker all of them were equip with their equipment including Artic, his equipment was metal platform that was connected around his waist in a circular shape. On his back was his funnel on his right side was a crane next to it was a toolbox filled with anything needed in order to repair any of his brothers or ship girls with they were in danger of sinking. On his other side was other crane underneath it was a steel box with a red cross on it containing medical equipment his rudder were in retracted position the same being with the other men.

"Man wears are ride sure is late" said Ticonderoga not looking toward the runway but toward the entrance into the base. Nimitz soon spotted the C-17 coming he then turned to Artic giving him the goo ahead,

"I mean how long does it take for them to get everything ready for us to-"Ticonderoga soon the hared the roar of jet engines causing him to turn around "NO WAY YOU-" that was all he said before Arctic jammed him with the sedates causing him to fall on the ground the C-17 soon fully touched down and made its way to the taxi and stopping in front of the men engines still running.

"Come one men let's get going" announced Nimitz as he carried his and Ticonderoga duffel bag, he was followed in the plane by Higgins and Arctic and a knocked out Ticonderoga being carried in by two navy men as dragged him in the aircraft. Soon all of them were locked in, the aircraft soon got on the runway and took off caring them to their new home were not only they will shock girls of them existing but also the abyssal's that were about to meet them on the battlefield.

Well there it is my first chapter on my first Kantai Collection story more will be coming soon. Now i know allot of you are wondering why i decide to make the character males instead of females since most if not all warships are refined to as "She".

Well the answer is quite simple: i wanted to do something different, since male oc ships are quite rare in the Kancolle Fandom which is why i did it.

Any ways that is the end of this note please leave your thoughts both good and bad in the reviews they help move the story along. :)
