Hi Guys thanks for the comments I really like to hear what you guys think of it and also you can comment more ships from the game or OC ship characters you would want in the story as someone has already suggested a US destroyer
I've read the comments some of you guys are posting and I have come to the conclusion that the story is going a little to fast so I have ecided hopefully with this chapter to slow it down a notch so that my plans for the future wil be able to be used
But thanks anyways guys and for those of you who were guessing my OC's ship identity your answers are here todaybut in a few chapters down the line I have an interesting plan developing hehe. But anyways I dont own Kancolle at all.
"E-excuse me?" Kaga asked in both shock and confusion.
"You sank me!" I repeated with more anger building up in me.
"What do you mean I sunk you I've never even met you up until now!" Kaga protested.
I felt a hand being placed gently on my shoulder, and wheeling around I saw it was Akagi, but instead of comforting me, a new wave of anger and pain flooded my being. "You…" I hissed in anger, "you were there as well.
"We were where, what are you talking about?" Akagi asked gently.
""Both of you… both of you killed those I cared for! You killed my crew, you took everything from me!" I yelled as I felt tears beginning to form in my eyes.
My mind was a blur as multiple images flooded through my head showing death and destruction on an unprecedented scale. My hands squeezed around my head, as I felt agony of the heart on a unprecedented scale, that seemed oddly familiar. I felt a soft hand grab hold of mine, and looking to my left I saw Eugen standing there with a small smile on her face.
"It's alright," she said in a soothing voice that teemed with kindness, "I don't know what you are experiencing but it's alright now, Kaga and Akagi wouldn't want to hurt you at all. I mean they are very kind to the girls here."
I felt my body tense up as another piece of imagery pierced through the blurriness of my mind, "You're wrong." I said in a dead whisper.
'What do you mean?'' Eugen asked in confusion.
"You're wrong… they aren't who you think they are. They are not kind as you say, they are monsters!" I said as a warm tear rolled down my cheek.
"I'm sorry but we don't know what it is you are talking about." Akagi said as she walked over to Kaga.
"We would never hurt or sink anyone on our own free whim." Kaga said in what I would believe was a kind voice, but to me it pissed me off.
"Then explain yourselves for what you did on December 7,1941!" I blurted in anger.
Akagi froze mid stride and Kaga turned pale. Akagi wheeled around to face me, and I could not read what expression she had on her face, for all I could make out was fear, anger, and sorrow, but I saw tears begin to form in her eyes. "You know what you did don't you?" I said as tears now began to stream down my face.
My mind was burning as now more and more of the images flooded into my mind, which I was starting to realize we're memories, "Akagi… you sank Oak with your torpedoes and… Kaga you sank me with bombs and... you killed the only friend I had!"
I pulled my hand away from Eugen and turned and ran as fast as I could away from the pier, "Wait!" I heard Eugen call but I didn't care, all I did was run
I ran as fast as my legs would go, running as tears streamed down my face as I began to get clearer images of what were essentially my memories. As I ran the images became clearer as now I could see more of the scene that was unfolding. I could see the planes dive bombing and torpedoing every ship that sat at anchor in the harbor, and one by one I saw each fleetgirl explode and disappear into the depths of the harbor. I felt my anger burn even hotter as I now remembered how I stood atop my ships deck and opened fire at every plane I could see. But my heart ached and hurt so much as pain wretched it just thinking about the images. I remember just running and crying as I ran with no particular direction in mind, I just wanted to get away from there. I ran out of the Naval districts main interior and and out to the outskirts, where I ran up a hill that led to a cliff overlooking the sea. When I had reached the edge of the cliff, I collapsed to the ground and began to openly weep. I cried like my heart was shattering over and over again, but I also wept, for I still had no idea who I was still. I knew that Kaga had sunk me and many of my friends with Akagi but I still did not know who I was in all of it. I sat at that spot for hours just hugging my knees and crying, as the sun had begun to set when I heard a small voice from behind me.
"Are you alright?" The voice asked.
Thinking it was Eugen I turned my head only to realize that Eugen wasn't even there, instead a girl with short dark hair and wearing a white and blue sailor's uniform stood a few feet away. "Just leave me alone." I said in an exhausted voice.
But instead of turning and leaving the girl walked up and sat down in the grass next to me. "What is it you could you possibly want?" I ask the girl.
"Well it's nothing really, but its just that as I was coming up here to watch the sunset, I heard you crying and came to see what was going on. And it was alos I was quite surprised to see a male here." She said innocently.
"Hmph, well I'm the male everyone seems to be talking about." I said smiling weakly.
"Well, hello then, my name is Fubuki and I am a special class type destroyer and namesake of the Fubuki class now what's your name?" She asked extending her hand.
"I'm still trying to figure that out actually." I shrugged as I shook her hand.
"Now why is it that you were crying? By the way you sounded, it sounded like heartbreak." Fubuki asked as she turned towards me.
"You don't want to know." I said looking away from her curious eyes.
"Please can you tell me." She said in her innocent voice.
I turned back and looked at her straight in the eyes and my heart melted again as the anger melted away into grief for her eyes were like that of an innocent child and they also looked like Cali's eyes. Tears began to reform in my eyes as I looked away from her to embarrassed to let her see me. But I was stunned by what she did next, for she pulled me into a hug and I broke down again. "It's alright, I understand the kind of pain you are experiencing for I've lost someone close to me as well. She said as she held me tighter.
After a few minutes of her holding me like that, she pulled back and brushed off her skirt. "Now is it alright if you tell me what was bothering you?" She asked.
I nodded, for my tears were all used and dried. I took a shaky breath before I started telling her the events of what happened during the day and the flashback memories I've been having. She sat there and listened contently, and when I was done the moon had risen into the sky, but she sat there quietly deep in thought. We sat in silence as we had our own separate thoughts, before Fubuki spoke in a quiet tone, "So your saying something terrible happened to you and your friends on December 7th,1941, and your saying Akagi senpai and Kaga were there."
I nodded, "Yes all I remember are bombs exploding and fleetgirls disappearing one by one and I can never forget those planes and those two were there launching wave after wave of them slaughtering my crew and my friends, but I know I was there, but I can't remember who I was at that event."
Fubuki stood up and extended her hand down to me, "Come on it's getting rather late, and I think the others are getting worried about you and from what you said I would believe Eugen is the most worried."
I gave a small nod as I took her hand and stood up. Fubuki smiled as she led me down the hill and back to the Naval Districts interior. We were quiet most of the way, until we reached the main building, when Fubuki stopped and turned towards me. "Please don't be mad at Akagi or Kaga, both of them are overall really caring and sweet, and I know it sounds horrible what they did in the past but, from what you said they did and what I know about them, I think that their actions still haunt them to this day."
"I don't think that I would ever forgive them after what they did." I said
Fubuki gave a sad look but she gave me a small smile, "Please just give them a chance at least."
I sighed,but nodded, "I'll think about it."
Fubuki perked up and gave a bright smile, "That's great now I think you should now hurry along back to your room cause they must be a little worried about you."
"Alright, I'd best be going then." I said as Fubuki turned and headed down the path with a small wave behind her.
The building was quiet and dark when I entered. "Everyone probably is asleep," I thought to myself as I started heading down the corridor. I was almost to the German fleets room when I heard someone clear their throat behind me.
Wheeling around I saw Nagato leaning against a wall next to the Admiral's room. "Nagato I'm so sorry!" I said in a pleading tone.
But the battleship didn't seemed mad, but instead she seemed to be sorrowful, "The Admiral wants to see you," she said in a voice that seemed to be clouded with guilt.
Confused and a little nervous, I turned around and walked back towards the Admirals door. Nagato knocked softly on the door before opening it. The Admiral sat facing the window again but on his desk were two large folders. I saw Akagi standing in the corner of the room with Kaga with a guilt and sorrowful look on both of their faces. The room was still as I entered. As the door closed behind Nagato as she walked in, I heard the tiny drone of the Kingfisher scout plane come flying out of my pocket and head straight for Akagi. Akagi ducked her head, but the plane opened fire with its tiny machine gun with the bullets bouncing off of Akagi with no effect because the plane was not at its full usual size. Akagi wasn't faced by the attack, but I could see that she was hurt. The plane flew back and landed on the little catapult I had on my shoulder. I thought I could hear the pilot's voice but I wasn't sure, but I thought I heard it say "That was for Pearl you tojo bastards!"
I took the plane off the catapult and put it back in my pocket, and sealed the pocket shut. "I'm sorry about that", I said to the Admiral who just waved a gloved hand.
"Why is it that you called me in here?" I asked the Admiral.
The Admiral was silent for a minute or two before I heard a slight breath from the chair, " I want you to know…" the Admiral began as I saw the outline shift a little, "... We here are terribly sorry about the tragedy."
"What do you mean?" I asked moving a little closer to the desk.
"I heard all about what happened at the dock from Akagi and Kaga and I would like to extend our humblest apologies." The Admiral said in a sad tone, "I did a little research into your identity when I heard you brought up December 7th to them."
The Admiral paused as I heard Kaga and Akagi begin to get uncomfortable with them shifting around uneasily. "When they said you brought up the names Cali and Oak… I had a suspicion and theory, but I needed more to prove it. That was until Kaga said that you said she had sunk you with bombs, and my theory was confirmed."
"What do you mean confirmed!? Who am I?" I demanded as some frustration and anger built up, "I'm sorry Admiral,"I quickly apologized.
"It's quite alright as in if I was in your situation I would be quite mad as well." The Admiral said, "But yes, with what I acquired from Kaga and Akagi, as well as what Eugen has said she has noticed about you, I was able to confirm who you are, but there is an odd thing that has arisen with the finding of your identity."
"And what is that?" I demanded.
"That will be given in good time for we do not have the full answer and I have a theory but I need it proven first, but I have a request that I wish to ask of you," the Admiral said, "Once you know who you are I want you to please try and forgive and get along with Akagi and Kaga."
"I'll try." I said in a bitter tone.
The Admiral beckoned Nagato to the chair and handed her a folder that looked like the others on the table, "Give this to him for he deserves to know."
"Know what?" I asked snatching the folder from Nagato
"The total casualties of December 7th 1941,as in the battleship fleetgirls that were killed," The Admiral paused and I think looked at Nagato for she nodded in encouragement.
I opened the folder and my eyes began to fill with tears as staring back at me was the girl who I supposed was the person named Cali, in my clearing memory, " USS California BB-44 sunk," I turned the page, "USS Oklahoma BB-37 sunk, USS West Virginia BB-48 sunk." With every name my memory seemed to be clearing as I began to remember who each face was. But there was one face that was missing that I couldn't see, but I had seen in my flashback.
"What about the girl who was BB-38?" I asked.
"She was the USS Pennsylvania and luckily she was able to survive the attack along with another ship the USS Nevada. They were able to keep their original selves, but the other's died sadly and when the U.S raised them they were replaced with newer fleetgirls." The Admiral said as Nagato walked back over to the chair.
"But this doesn't explain to me who I am." I said.
The Admiral gave Nagato another folder, which she handed to me. The cover had in big bold letters "BB-39". I opened the folder and was taken aback in surprise, for the picture I was presented with was a girl who looked exactly like me except… "I'm not a girl." I said.
"We know that and that is what confused us but with your actions and words, you confirmed who you are." The Admiral said, "And we are saddened but honored to have you in our presence for, while your life was cut short we are honored to have you in our mists for you are one of the most famous battleships that sank at Pearl Harbor on that day."
Nagato turned and gave me a salute that seemed more as a farewell salute for a burial at sea than a military salute
"I'm so sorry." The voice of Kaga said behind me as she bowed her head, while Akagi bowed her head as well saying nothing
I looked back down at the folder and and read aloud along the top in bold letters was "BB-39 Pennsylvania class battleship…" I paused as my face filled with dread and shock.
"Go on." The Admiral said in a ushering tone.
"USS Arizona...sunk."
Well now I wonder what will develop from this and with the naming of my OC's ship I would also say maybe give a moment of silence for the men and women who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor
But keep those comments coming with the favorites and followers cause I really enjoy it!
Also error on my part USS Arizona is a Pennsylvania class battleship not a Tennessee class Sorry bout that guys
Anyways I'll see you guys in the next chapter and if you have questions about the girl thing still all I will say is that you will have to wait for I will reveal the answer in a later chapter
