Chapter 09: Shells on Saipan
June 14th 1944
Off the coast of Saipan
Saipan was the next step for the Allied Forces here before heading for the Ryukyu Islands. Saipan has been bombarded for a day by 15 battleships, 20 heavy cruisers, 20 light cruisers, 29 destroyers and 74 ship girls. However the neuroi were not taking it lightly.
The neuroi decided to launch an attack from Saipan, Halsey was away as he was needed at a meeting with Nimitz in Pearl Harbour while Vice Admiral Ozawa was in Australis visiting his family and to celebrate his new daughter's birth. The fleet was in slight disarray as Vice Admiral Phillips attempted to deal with the neuroi threats. What made it worse was the 509th JFW was not in the area except for Kazuko, Rosemary, Janie and Patricia and they were overwhelmed.
HMS Repulse
"Shit! They are getting closer!" A Britannian gunner barked. Repulse had become the target of the neuroi aggressors. Her anti-air gunners were giving it all they got. Her secondary guns were also firing into the neuroi masses.
"Show persistence boys! We will get through this battle" Repulse encouraged.
"This is Yukikaze! I am sorry Repulse but I can't get close, the neuroi are swarming around you" Yukikaze shouted.
"Jesus Christ! They really have a liking for you Repulse! They are swarming you" ISIS hissed.
"Fucking hell, the wankers are all over the place! Sorry Repulse but I can't get through to you" Patricia said
"Don't worry girls, I am going to give them hell, there is still fight in this veteran" Repulse said.
"Sir we are being isolated from the rest" Repulse's First Mate said.
"So, we are" The captain said.
"What do we do sir?" The First mate asked.
"Well we need to keep the neuroi occupied until the Hell Born Witches can come to our assist" The captain said.
"Aye-aye sir" The crew said. Soon the neuroi beams were getting closer to the Britannian battlecruiser stood her ground.
"Is that the best you got? I have seen destroyers that do better than you lot! Let me show you what a veteran can do!" Repulse barked as she began firing her main guns at the bigger neuroi.
"Come on boys; let's show them what the Royal Navy can do" An anti-air gunner barked. The beams were coming closer still. Repulse gets hit in her stern. The resulting explosion rocked the ship.
"ARGH that was a hard one" Repulse growled.
"Repulse" Liverpool shouted.
"Worry about me not, girls!" Repulse said.
"Sorry about that, Repulse" The captain apologized.
"Don't worry about me, captain! Worry about the crew!" Repulse said. Just then another beam hit Repulse this time the tip of her bow. She was taking damage but she was giving her all.
Inside HMS Repulse
"Fuck! Get out of the bow!" A sailor barked.
"Seal the door! Stop the flooding!" Another sailor barked.
HMS Repulse Bridge
"Sir, bow is flooding sir! We are down to three quarter speed" The first mate shouted.
"Damn it!" The captain smashed his fist onto his desk.
"Abandon me Captain Sparrow! Save the crew!" Repulse said.
"But Repulse! We can't leave you…" Captain Sparrow said.
"Your crew is more valuable than me! I can be replaced but lives are not so you better get off of me!" Repulse rebutted.
"But Repulse…" The first mate tried.
"I don't want to hear it! You better evacuate me or you will be joining the coral reefs here with me" Repulse said, "Besides I am too old to keep up with the rest of the new girls, god how I envied them" The crew in the bridge stood still as they stared at Captain Sparrow. He slowly picked up the PA mike. His grip tightened on the mike.
"This is Captain Sparrow to all crew of the Repulse, abandon the ship, I repeat abandon the ship! Repulse wants us to live on so we can continue the good fight" Sparrow ordered. The crew of the Repulse began to evacuate the ship in an orderly fashion.
"Hurry up lads, I can't stay afloat forever" Repulse said.
Inside HMS Repulse
"Come on Williams! We have to get out of the ship!" A sailor barked as he sees his shipmate trying to pry a hatch open.
"You go ahead, Mallory! But I have to open this hatch! There is someone stuck here!" William shouted.
"You are mad! There is no one there" Mallory said before took a few steps away but he knew he couldn't leave his mate; hence, he turned around to help Williams.
"Why you came back?" Williams asked.
"Just shut and open the door!" Mallory growled. The two sailors were able to pry the door open and they were surprised to see a chestnut brunette in a Royal Naval officer uniform lying unconscious and bleeding inside the room.
"What the hell?" Williams uttered, "What is she doing here?"
"Not now Will! Let's get her out of here!" Mallory said. The two sailors then picked up the girl and ran for the deck. When they reached the deck, they saw that they were not the last ones on board.
Outside HMS Repulse
The crew were either lowering lifeboats or jumping into the sea. Suddenly a strange mechanical noise was heard and a strange band of light swept from bow to stern of the Britannian battlecruiser. The girl that Williams and Mallory suddenly glowed and this surprised them which led to her falling into the water, but she stayed afloat.
"What the bloody hell was that?" A sailor asked.
"Now we focus on saving our asses!" Another barked.
"Oh, I felt that! And damn it felt good" Repulse said. Suddenly her guns began firing again. The crew were stunned as there was no one on board the ship.
"How are you doing that, Repulse" A sailor asked.
"I now have full control of myself! Which means I can do this" Repulse said before firing her main guns at the airborne neuroi. Repulse began blasting away at the neuroi. Repulse was being hit but she didn't care as her guns were giving it all she got. The neuroi soon fell in number but Repulse had taken a serious beating. It was a miracle that she was still afloat but she was at her end of her endurance. She had fires burning inside of her and she was taking on water. The neuroi began to retreat.
"We drove them off!" Allen D. Summers cheered.
"That's the navy for ya!" Leander shouted.
"Well then, I am heading for the Yorktown, I need to sleep" Rosemary puffed.
"Good work, Repulse" Prince of Wales praised. But the celebration was cut short when two neuroi dive bombers appeared and smashed into Repulse's forward and rear magazines.
"GAH!" Repulse yelped as the neuroi pierced her decks.
"Repulse" Vampire shouted she watched in horror as Repulse bent from the force of the impacts.
"It seems that this old war veteran has finally a nice resting place! My fight is over, take over my place, Renown" Repulse said softly before she exploded as the neuroi bombs detonated in her magazine. She blew sky high and quickly disappeared beneath the warm waters off of Saipan. Suddenly the girl that was floating the water, shot up and she immediately looked at herself.
"What? What the hell?" She says as she examined her body.
"Missy, are you alright?" Williams asked.
"This is just bizarre" The girl said, not aware of Williams said, "I am now one of them"
"What the hell are you are talking about, ma'am?" Mallory said.
"Oh sorry, I was too caught up with this new body" She said.
"New body? What are you implying?" Williams asked.
"I am HMS Repulse and Qui Tangit Frangitur, don't touch or you will be broken" she smiled. Just as she introduced herself, three turrets appeared from behind her and other pieces of machinery appeared as well.
"Repulse, where are you? I can still hear you" Prince of Wales asked.
"I am here! Prince, just look for a blonde ship girl by the swimming crew of the Repulse" Repulse said. Then the Britannian battleship came with IFN Inazuma, IFN Hibiki, USS Benson, IFN Yukikaze and HMS Quest with Ikazuchi (SG), Hamakaze (SG), Tone (SG) and Chokai (SG) to the wreck site of where HMS Repulse once stood. The destroyers and the ship girls began to rescue the crew of the battlecruiser while Prince of Wales searched for a ship girl and she saw one heading straight for her.
"Mutsu?" Prince of Wales asked.
"Prince, I am with IFN Mikuma" Mutsu (SG) said,
"Then who is this brunette ship girl?" Prince of Wales asked.
"It is me Repulse, you git!" Repulse said.
"Repulse! You become a ship girl?" Prince of Wales said.
"What?" Tone (SG) said.
"That is impossible!" Ikazuchi (SG) said.
"Well I am standing here on the water aren't I" Repulse said.
"How did you do that?" Chokai (SG) asked,
"I don't know Chokai, all I remember was that I was exploding and the next thing I know is that I am in the water surrounded my crew" Repulse said.
"Repulse, I am so happy that you are alright" Sparrow said as he stood on the deck of USS Benson, "I am sorry I wasn't a good captain"
"Oh please sir, it was not your fault, you did the best you could" Repulse said.
"Thank you Repulse but you saved the crew not me" Sparrow said. It was true. Because of Repulse's orders to have her abandoned that saved her entire crew, all 1181 of her complement though there was injuries and wounds.
Later when Halsey and the rest of 509th girls returned, they were surprised to hear that Repulse after her ship body sank, she had become a ship girl. Halsey grumbled as it meant another roster review.
June 15th 1944
After the transformation of Repulse which gobsmacked everyone. It was time for the assault force, Liberion 2nd "Follow Me" Marine Division, Liberion 4th Marine Division, Fusoan 3rd Naval Infantry Division and the Karlslander 1st "Angriff!" Marine-Sturm Division to move in. However even after all the pounding Halsey's taskforce gave, the neuroi defenses were more or less still online and they were serving the Liberions and Fusoans some hot beams.
Tom's POV
We hit the beach but even after being bombarded like mad, the neuroi was still giving us problems. If you are wondering why am I in 2nd Marine Division, well it is because the Marine Raiders were disbanded and we were all shoved amongst the Marine Corps. I ended up in the 2nd Marine Division along with James and Nick. I was the first saw action with the 2nd Marines in Tarawa and was that hell. I saw three guys get crushed by a neuroi tank.
"Lieutenant, what do we do?" A Liberion sergeant asked me as we cowered behind a blown up Type 4 Ka-Tsu.
"Damon! Get the navy on the line! Tell them to blast those machine guns to kingdom come!" I barked
"Roger! This is Advance Party! We need a rocket barrage on …." Another Liberion marine said as he began to relay the coordinates.
"This is Rear Admiral Nagato of the 1st Ship Girl Flotilla, we got your call, I will take care of those MG positions for you" Nagato replied. Then we heard a chorus of heavy gun fire before the neuroi machine guns were wiped out.
"Thanks Nagato" Damon replied.
"No problem" I heard Nagato reply.
"Alright boys, let's move" I ordered as I dashed off the beach followed by whoever was near the beach I landed on. Then small beam came from one of the palm tree and a marine gets hit in the neck, decapitating him.
"Shit sniper!" James said as he avoided the falling body.
"Disperse and take cover!" I barked. The guys that followed me quickly ducked for cover.
"What now, Leutnant?" A Karlslander asked.
"Take out that sniper, baka!" I ordered as I shouldered my Thompson and fired at the tree the beam came from. Soon the rest of soldiers began opening up with their weapons. The neuroi sniper exploded into small pieces. Baka is Fusoan for idiot, I learned some Fusoan with Kitakami in our spare time. We have been getting closer
"Sniper is dead, Tom!" James shouted.
"Let's move forward then" I said as I left my cover and raced inland. Just then I reached an area filled tall grass, which I was going through when suddenly this one infantry neuroi fucker jumps me, knocking onto my back with it onto of me trying to choke me. I struggled with the neuroi infantry but trying to choke it was not working as I hoped so I quickly grabbed my bayonet and sliced at its throat where their cores are. It then stopped moving and I gave it a kick to throw it away. It then exploded some distance away from me. I got back up and picked up my sub machine gun that fell a foot away from me.
"Tom! Are you alright?" James asked as he came to my side.
"I am fine, James" I said. Just then a witch came up to me, she had short brunette hair and she was a marine, I looked at her strikers, they were M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman and she had a 76 mm cannon.
"That was one hell of fight, soldier!" The tank witch said as she patted on my shoulder.
"Hey, you do what you need to do" I said.
"So what's your name?" She asked.
"Lieutenant Thomas Eisenhower" I said.
"Well, are you by any chance related to Ike?" The witch asked jokingly.
"Yeah, he is my uncle" I said.
"Damn, I was just kidding, well I am Second Lieutenant Isabelle Ramirez" The witch said.
"Well, Ramirez, let's give this enemy hell" I said as I fixed my helmet. Then we continued pushing inland by night, we had a foothold on the island.
Later that night
"Shit! There's a whole division's worth of fuckers coming at us!" A Liberion marine shouted. The neuroi were trying to kick us back into the sea but we stood fast but we were taking losses.
"Shut the fuck up, Bill and just shoot the bastards" Another Liberion marine retorted. Just then a beam reached and hit a Sherman setting it on fire. The crew scrambled to get out but the radio operator was stuck in his compartment as his hatch was jammed. He banged on the hatch furiously but it was fruitless.
"Help! Get me out of this fucking tin can! I don't want to die! Ah! I am cooking here! Help! Ah fuck please! AH~!" The radio operator screamed as his tank was consumed by the fire. I was feeling bad for the guy, being cooked alive was not the best way to go, heck being shot by neuroi beam was better.
"Avenge our Kameraden!" I heard a Karlslander barked, and then I saw a beast of tank roll up a few feet from the burning wreck of a Sherman. I gasped as I watched the steel monster fire its cannon at the neuroi.
"So you like our Tiger" A Karlslander said.
"Damn, they are huge" I said.
"Well don't put your hopes too high; these tanks are still as vulnerable as your Shermans" The Karlslander said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Alfred Hartmann and no I have no relation to Erica Hartmann" Alfred said. Suddenly a new tank rolled up alongside the Karlslander Tiger. The commander popped out and shouted.
"Come on my comrades, let's give the enemy hell!" He shouted.
"What the hell?" I uttered.
"What on earth?" Alfred said. Then we looked around and we saw the faces of the rest of the Liberions, Fusoans and Karlslanders that were on the line. They had shock, amazement, disbelief on their faces as new soldiers appeared and they were firing on the neuroi positions.
"What the hell is going on?" A Liberion machine gunner asked.
"Ask later, we got neuroi to kill!" A Fusoan shot gunner barked.
"MEDIC" A Karlslander shouted.
"Pour it on them, boys! Let them have it" I shouted.
Meanwhile…
USS Enterprise
"*BANG* *BANG*" Halsey woke up to the sound of banging on his quarters' door.
"I am getting up, hold your horses" Halsey grumbled, he opened the door, "What is it?"
"Sir! We have an unknown fleet to the south of us" A sailor said.
"What? Are they hostile?" Halsey asked as he wore his shirt.
"No sir, however we having some trouble communicating with them, apparently their commander can't speak anything but Orussian so we are having Verniy translate for us" The sailor said.
"Let's get to the bridge" Halsey said.
USS Enterprise's Bridge
Halsey's POV
I headed into the bridge where George and Verniy were in bridge. They and the rest bridge crew saluted me when I entered.
"As you were" I saluted back
"Yes, sir" The men and ship girl said before returning to their duties.
"So what is the situation?" I asked.
"Ask Verniy, she knows what is going on better than I do" George shrugged.
"The incoming fleet is the Orussian Pacific Fleet and they were given the order by their commander, Grand Admiral of the Empire of Orussia, Nikolay Kuznetsov to join up with our taskforce and assist us in our battle against the neuroi here" Verniy said.
"Who is the Admiral in charge?" I asked, now curious as with what Orussian commander I will be working with.
[Note: All conversation with Vice Admiral Fedulova is in brackets because she only speaks in Orussian but for a while only]
"Just one second" Verniy said, "(This is Verniy to Orussian Pacific Fleet, who is your commander?)". Verniy listened to the reply.
"So who is it?" I asked.
"Their commander is Vice Admiral Fedulova Kuznetsov and she wants to know if her fleet can join ours" Verniy said.
"Thank god, I haven't started on that fucking roster update, sure but I need to know what ships she has" I said.
"Da" Verniy nodded, "(This is Verniy again to Vice Admiral Fedulova Kuznetsov; how many ships do you have?)"
"I wonder if they have a carrier…" George said.
"They do, George, the Orussians have built a few carriers with the first ones being light carrier Pr. 71 "Yakutsk" class and they had four built about a year before the war. Now they have some proper carriers but they are something like Enterprise here, I think they call them Moskava class carriers which and Nimitz informed me that the Orussians now well thanks to us and the Fusos have a new class of carriers which is comparable to our Essex and the Fusoan Unryū class carriers and they already have three built, they are all the Vladivostok class fleet carriers. I must say that Orussia wouldn't doing as well as it is now if it wasn't for their current Tsar, Alexei Nikolaevich's industrialization program and social support programmes" I said.
"Admiral Halsey, Vice Admiral Fedulova Kuznetsov says she has a Vladivostok-class aircraft carrier, ONS Astrakhan; two Gosudarstva Imperii-class (Orussia's Sovetsky Soyuz) battleships, ONS Ukraina and ONS Belorussiya; two Kronshtadt-class battlecruisers, ONS Kronshtadt and ONS Odessa; three Kirov-class cruisers, ONS Voroshilov, ONS Maxim Gorky and ONS Slava; two Chapayev-class cruisers, ONS Kuybyshev and ONS Chkalov; three Ognevoy-class destroyers, ONS Vnushitelny, ONS Vlastny and ONS Vynoslivy; three Soobrazitelny-class destroyers ONS Sposobnyi, ONS Sovershennyi, ONS Svobodnyi; with four KU-class submarines, K-57, K-58, K-59 and K-60 which brings the fleet to about twenty ships, also she says that the 5th Orussian Naval Infantry Corps has landed on the island and are assisting the soldiers on the ground and she has two witches with her fleet" Verniy said.
"Our forces at one hundred and twelve and if combined with the Orussians then we will have one hundred and thirty two…tell Vice Admiral Fedulova that her fleet can join our fleet" I said as I weighted the pros and cons of having the Orussian ships on our task forces. Well the main pros are that we have more guns and planes and these were the IL-2A Sea Shturmoviks, La-7As and the Yak-9As which are quite good aircrafts though this means that there is more ships under my command, more lives I have to decide their fate, I know I can but after losing Atlanta and Juneau, I don't feel as confident before but I had to persevere and continue. I made it my way to remember those who sank by keeping their names on the roster but with the work sunk next to it. I think I should not have the Orussian Pacific Fleet with us…No! Atlanta and Juneau would want me to take up these ships and lead them to the best of my abilities.
"Roger" Verniy said before turning to the radio, "(This is Verniy to Vice Admiral Kuznetsov; Admiral Halsey has given the green light for your Pacific Fleet to join our task force…um… be prepared for something to happen)"
"(What do you mean by that?)" I heard Fedulova speak for the first time.
"(You will soon find out)" Verniy said.
IFN Yahagi
This Fusoan Light Cruiser was just humming to herself as she, IFN Ōyodo, IFN Myōkō, IFN Mutsu, IFN Shimakaze, IFN Fubuki, USS Quincy, USS Biloxi, USS Benson, USS Moale, HMAS Vendetta were guarding the southern section of the Saipan. She decided to look to her south, when she noticed something in the distance, something was slicing the water. She turned on her searchlights and she aimed her light anti-air guns towards the south. Ever since Atlanta and Juneau sank, the ships of TF-34 have gain more control of themselves as they can now move aircraft cranes, lifeboat cranes, searchlights, flag post ropes, and fog horns. They can also aim and fire machine guns and light anti-air guns but someone of their crew has to be there so reload the guns. This actually helps with the efficiency of the ships in combat and normal duties.
"Approaching from the south, who is there?" Yahagi said as her searchlights shone on the warships coming in from the south. Soon the other light cruisers and destroyers turned on their searchlights and light anti-air guns towards the south.
"This is Svobodnyi of the Orussian Pacific Fleet; can you not shine your light at our faces? It is too bright" Svobodnyi, the first ship said.
"Sorry, I am" Yahagi said as she lowered her searchlight.
"Wait just a moment…I just spoke…Moy bog" Svobodnyi said.
"This is just amazing, we can express ourselves!" Kuybyshev said.
"Chto? What is going on?" The Captain of the Svobodnyi shouted in disbelief.
"Calm down, there is an explanation for this" Yahagi's captain said. Soon Halsey came on the radio and began explaining to the Orussians what had happened to their ships. Yahagi saw Verniy sail in to prove what Halsey was true.
"Well, this is just amazing; I wonder how my father will respond to this?" Fedulova said.
"Ma'am, you just spoke in English" An Orussian officer said.
"Wait, did I?" Fedulova asked.
"You have an Orussian accent but you have good English now…that is strange" Halsey said.
"Well, that means that we can communicate with ease then" Fedulova said.
"Yes, it does" Halsey said.
The neuroi counterattack that night was broken with huge losses for the attacking neuroi. The Liberions, Orussians, Karlslanders and Fusoans held their ground, now they were pushing inland. By the 19th of June, the Liberion 29th Infantry Division captured the southern airfield, Ås Lito Airfield.
Halsey decided to the write the roster update and he groaned as he typed away at his typewriter on the eight update of his task force's roster. Enterprise watched as Halsey typed away.

There is your second bomb shell of the story already
Next chapter will be an OC spam
Repulse: Are you sure you can do the next chapter, Amir?
Akagi: Yeah you have about 141 OCs and that doesn't includes the two admirals you created
Amir: Don't worry I will sort it out
Enterprise: Have fate in him girls, he made through this story without much problem
Amir: By the way, I have started a Kantai Witches One Shots collection, if you have any suggestions for one shots, please either PM or put in the review of the 1st chapter of the Kantai Witches One-Shots, thank you
