A/n Well so here's Chapter 3. and Thanks to all your reviews it compelled me to write this chapter up so thank you
CHAPTER 3
"No its ok, I should be sorry since I wasn't the one lookin..." Miguel stood there for a few seconds looking at the girl in front of him before he regained his focus.
"Are you ok, um...?" she said to him with a slightly concerned look
"Uh yeah, anyways let me help you with this" he knelt down to start picking up the papers with his good arm
They managed to finish picking up the papers which weren't much at all
"Here you go Miss" he said as he gave her the papers
"Shoukaku, and thank you..." she replied
"Miguel, Ensign Miguel and you're welcome Shoukaku-san, but if you'll excuse me i have to be going" he replied with a small smile on his face before making his way
"Same here and thank you again Ensign" she said with smile and a bow
"No problem Shoukaku-san" Miguel replied bowing as well
Miguel hummed a tune as he headed for the workshop 'That's one way to make a friend here'
Workshop...
Looking at his suit, shoulder armor removed, holes being patched up as best as they could, though the v-crest has yet to be replaced and those little fairies moving in and out of the suit's compartments working on anything they could like the machinery and some electronics. The most notable feature he noticed was the left arm, the damaged forearm plates replaced by new plating making it look like it never been hit. He then notices on a table nearby were the little equipment that survived and were still usable.
'Boy I wish the old man was here cause he'd have fun chewing me out for all this and fixing this old girl' he chuckled at the thought
"Oh hey there Ensign, checking on your suit I see" Akashi said as she entered the shop
"Yeah, and it looks like you and your girls are doing a fine job here, she looks like she can fight again" Miguel replied
"Thank you Ensign, but we can't exactly test if it can move without you and some systems and parts were a bit advanced for us but the rest we could handle"
"Alright, I'll see what I can do"
"Now, another thing I heard you were in the shop for some weaponry also" she said with a grin on her face, " I mean if you're staying here for some time, you may as well get some weaponry here since ya know... your equipment ain't much to work with ,it seems"
"Haha, is that so? Alright then show me what you girls have" he replied with a small grin of his own
"Well since I can't spend a lot of time to explain everything, here's a list of all our standard weaponry ranging from Destroyers to Battleships" she said giving him a tablet
"Thanks I'll have a look at it tonight" he said as he took the tablet
"One last thing, about the left arm, what happened to it?"
"I think it was a battleship round that hit, thankfully I was left with a fractured arm rather than blasting it off" he said lifting his left arm for emphasis
"Ouch, those Ru-classes are as troublesome as always, hopefully you won't have a tough time if you go back out there"
"Hopefully"
"So anything else you want to add for your suit?"
"Hmmm, maybe for the left arm a hardpoint or slot to attach different equipment and maybe the crest repaired ASAP, that alright?"
"Yeah I think we can do that and just say if you want anything else alright?" she said with a wink at the end
"Hehe sure thing Akashi-san, anyways I have to go already, have fun" he said as he headed for the door
"You bet I will"
After the workshop he headed towards the carrier dorms to check out his room
"Room 215 huh" he remembered as he climbed the stairs
"215,215,215,215" he repeated as he looked for his room
At the same time a girl in a white miko uniform and with dark green twintails coming out from one of the rooms
"Excuse me, do you know where room 215 is?" he asked
"Oh, it's right next to my room here... Wait! Who are you and what are you doing here?! she asked and was on alert at this stranger who was in the carrier dorms
'Guess there ain't much guys around here huh' he thought
"Easy there, I'm a friendly and besides where are my manners, Ensign Miguel Yamato, and I don't know if you or everyone heard it yet but some of your friends rescued me out there from the abyssals and what I'm doing now is going to the room Admiral Kirigaya here, gave me" he replied with his arm raised and hand opened
"Is that right, Sorry for reacting that way, as you can see there's not much men on base and so you're the one my sister and 1st fleet rescued? she replied with her guard down already
"Well yeah, and if that's the case I'll thank her and her team later on, cause I never got the chance to know or thank who rescued me" he said
"Oh ok and it's nice to meet you Ensign Yamato, well as of now I have practice to go to and have a nice stay here" she waved as she headed for the stairs
"Likewise and thanks" he replied before he went inside
"Shoot! I didn't catch her name, well next time then"
Setting aside making friends here during his stay, he opens his room to see a triple bunked bed, and a shelf full of books on naval and military things and below it a table with a desktop
'For a place full of reincarnated WW2 ships, they sure are adapted to today's tech, but it would be useless because of all the interference now' he thought
On the bed he saw his clothes folded and patched from the battle and he looked at himself in the mirror beside him to see that he had been wearing the same clothes the Admiral gave him when he was about to leave the infirmary.
"So this is where they went" he said
After changing into his Blue outlined black bomber jacket with the team insignia on the left breast pocket and right sleeve and Blue stripes, his dark blue shirt, cargo pants and black boots with blue outlines as well. He left the fingerless gloves on the bed cause he didn't feel the need to use them now and that his left arm's still casted as well. He also placed his HUD shades in his pocket if he ever needed them
"It feels good to be back in this uniform" he sighed
Looking at his watch and seeing it's still 4:30 and no word from the Admiral about his comrades, he decides to go around again not knowing the base is much more lively since classes and most missions were over already at this time.
Main Courtyard...
"I am so tired poi" Yuudachi sighed
"Oh it's alright Yuudachi, I mean the recent operations were really challenging" Shigure said in her usual calm tone
"Yeah Yuudachi-chan, besides the 4 of us can rest now since they're over already right Murakumo-chan?" Fubuki said next
"You got that right Fubuki" Murakumo replied to her sister
"But the Admiral will be giving his attention to other ships rather than us poi!" Yuudachi cried
"Yuudachi, the Admiral gives equal attention to everyone here the best he could, besides aren't we his best destroyers in the fleet?" Shigure said
"Yeah but I want his attention poi!" she pouted
"Don't we all?" Fubuki said and everyone laughed afterwards
"By the way I've heard there was a soldier from another Military here" Fubuki said for a change of topic
"Really? Where'd you hear that from?" Murakumo asked with the others listening also
"When I went to Mamiya's cafe a while ago, I heard from the other girls talk about it and I asked Mamiya-san what they were talking about"
"And what did she say poi?"
"She said that the person was rescued by the 1st MS Fleet from an abyssal attack and that..."
As she was talking, she had forgotten to look where she was going and bumped into someone and after she recoiled back and tripped on her feet
"Kyaa!"
Suddenly she felt her someone catching her arm preventing her from fully falling and looked up to see who it was thinking it was one of her squadmates
"Thanks you guys, that was clo...se" Instead of looking at the faces of her teammates she was looking into a pair of dark blue eyes.
After walking around the base once again while receiving several curious stares from many of the girls he passed, he went to the beach to have a view at the sunset for a while before deciding to go to Mamiya's cafe to grab dinner there since going to the mess hall would be really awkward for him.
'Boy if the others find out that I've been stuck on a base full of girls, they'd kill me' he thought, 'Not only that, but once Ryusei finds this place he'd go nuts though he should be ready to take a punch or two, cause I don't think these girls can stand perverts and all'
After thinking several other things, he continued on walking while staring into the distance and as he was rounding a corner he felt somebody bump into him and out of reflex, managed to grab her arm just in time before she fell and pulled her back up
"Sorry miss, I didn't see where I was going...again" he sighed at the last part
'What is wrong with me today, do I want to be killed?' he thought as he talked to the girls in front of him
"No I-it's ok" she replied
"Alright then, if you excuse me ladies" he said with a small bow before continuing on to the cafe
"Uh-huh" Fubuki said with a confused face as all of them stared at Miguel for a while
"I guess we know who our visitor is" Murakumo said
"Though he does seem a bit gloomy" Yuudachi said
"I never thought I'd live to see the day we meet a guy that's not the Admiral or the supply staff or marines, much less from another nation during this war" Shigure said bluntly
"Uh-huh" the others nodded in unison
"He seems like a nice person though" Fubuki said with a light blush
"Maybe but forget about him, let's go to dinner!" Yuudachi said
As they walked to the mess hall Murakumo walked up to her sister
"Now don't go havin an instant crush already sis" she teasing whispered
Fubuki's face instantly became red
"Wha...What are you saying Murakumo-chan?!"
"Just kidding hehe, I mean another guy on base means that there would be a few girls who would be curious with him if he stays long here and possibly more but who knows?" she shrugged
"Yeah I guess so" she replied as they continued on to the canteen
Yeah i ain't so good with interactions like these for now but hey what can i do? Oh and do make guesses on what gundam's might appear in this story cause i ain't sticking to one series for this
