"So what's going on?" Enkal asked.
"Well uh. It's somewhat covered in snow outside so I came to see if you were okay. Why didn't you come back anyways?" Feuarke asked as she continued to pet the small ship besides her.
"Well I was told to keep watch and that is what I did. After all I've been in worse." Enkal replied.
Feuarke didn't know why but she continued to pet the small ship to calm her nerves, "But still why didn't you come back. Plus now that i'm out here I don't know how to get back. People are probably worrying about us."
"Meh. I told you i'd be fine. Although communications are down." Enkal thought as she looked at the roof. Feuarke then picked up the small ship besides her and hugged it. It did emmit some heat to keep her warm, and it was somewhat cute to her. Both Enkal and Dathomire were a bit confused on her actions. Dathomire decided to not question her like anything else in the world. However Enkal continued to look at her and then spoke, "Are you drunk?"
"Am not!" Feuarke shouted at her embarrassed at her remark. "Like really? I was only worried about you as a teammate." Feuarke then hugged the small ship more as she looked away. She continued to blush after a while before glancing at Enkal, "What are you looking at."
Enkal only laughed at her friend's amusing actions, "Sorry, it's just that a small rush class is aggressive and a powerful battleship is gentle. It's somewhat amusing to think of it. I do wonder how C feels though."
Feuarke looked at the ground and loosened her grip on the ship to not crush it, "Say Enkal. What exactly do you like?"
Enkal's face reddened in surprise, "W-what do you mean by that?" Enkal tried to ask as calm as she could.
"Like what do you like doing. Or like what you think is cute like how I am right now."
"Well some people do say they like killing Abyssals but that would be quite weird wouldn't it." Enkal looked away.
"Quite weird. and quite scary too."
"Well uh.. I guess I like uhh. I don't really know..." Enkal stuttered.
"You don't know? There's gotta be something."
"I'm a simple person. I don't really care about those type of things I guess." Enkal replied. Feuarke only shrugged and looked back at the ship in her arms. She still didn't know why she liked it so much.
"So what now?" Enkal asked as she laid back down on the cold snow.
"I dunno. Maybe we head back."
"I don't think so. Temperature's dropping dramatically. If anything we're stuck here."
Feuarke then sighed as she the fell onto her side, still holding the ship, "I was planning to eat some sushi though."
"Sushi is served during lunch and dinner right? We're talking about breakfast." Enkal replied to her remark.
"But I haven't eaten anything since dinner last night."
"And I haven't eaten anything since the battle." Enkal countered. The two then sighed.
Feuarke then started muttering about hunger, "What are we going to do."
"I can't think about that. Just thinking about it is making me hungrier. Although I can go for a day or two with little to no food and water" Enkal sighed from her sleeping position and then the shelter was silent once again. Feuarke sighed again and put the ship she was holding back on it's landing gear but still rested her arm on it. The two warships then tried to sleep but hunger prevented it.
Enkal then popped up, surprising Feuarke, "I got an idea!"
Feuarke then sat back upright, "What is it?"
"Well." Enkal then moved her hands and a ship appeared.
"How did you."
"Something my class has. Now this is going to be a little bit crazy." Enkal replied as she pulled away the metal sheet and sent the small plane out.
Feuarke's eyes widened in amazement as Enkal continued to have ships appear from nowhere and set them on the ground waiting for launch. Enkal then looked at Feuarke, "Depending on where they place the food is how we are going to do this."
"I think I saw them moving cooked food to another building for people to eat. It means they have to cross through the open snow while others plow any excess snow that comes down. They also have heaters to keep the food warm." Feuarke replied.
"Good. Any idea what they're serving?" Enkal asked the battleship.
"Uhh. I was too far to see."
"Hold on I got a sight on them with the first plane I sent out."
"Ooh, Ooh. What is it?" Feuarke asked, leaning forward.
Enkal's mouth started to water as she then explained to Feuarke what it was, "A very American breakfast."
The battleship was only a little confused at this, "What do you mean? What all is there?"
"Bacon, ham, turkey, some bread, barbeque, macaroni and cheese, pizza, scrambled eggs, chicken salad, fries, yogurt, tons of goodness." Enkal replied, a shine in her eyes.
Feuarke's mouth also started to water. She was used to normal military rations so this was like heaven to her. She then remembered something, "Wait, how are we going to get this exactly? Plus with the drop in temperature they're going to be moving quickly." She then crossed her fingers that her friend had a solution.
"That's what the planes are for." Enkal replied to her question while motioning at the planes.
"So what is it we're going to do?"
"In survival there are no rules. We're just going to get the food, no biggie." Enkal replied, not telling anything of the plan.
Feuarke then sighed, "I'm not sure whether I should know about your plan."
"Well don't worry. We won't be taking too much. After all it's just the two of us." Enkal replied as the ships then launched off. Feuarke blushed a bit before watching the rest of the planes take off
- Base -
"Hey. Did you notice that that bird seems to be watching us?" asked one of the workers.
"Yea, but continued to push the cart already." Replied another worker. The two then wheeled in the cart and started to head back for another. They grabbed yet another cart filled with some pizza and other food and started to wheel it across the plowed concrete. Just then the bird that was watching them took off and grabbed one of the slices from the open top that was being heated by a powerful heater.
"Damn bird!" the worker shouted as he started to push faster.
"What the?" The other worker said as four birds swooped down, two grabbing one tray each.
"Why are they taking food trays!" The first worker shouted.
"We're being raided!" Just then a whole swarm of birds dived down and started to grab every piece of food they could with their claws. The first worker started to shout more at the birds, drawing attention from the other workers while he continued to chuck snow to try and take the birds down. He couldn't hit any as the birds then started to fly away with what they had, including the trays. The two workers then went back to the cart to see what was left. They didn't loose too much at least but the first worker still threw his cap onto the ground in anger while the other continued to push the cart to where it was to be delivered.
The two warships continued to wait with the cold air still blowing in before the planes then landed with the food and then disappeared from thin air as Enkal summoned them back. Each tray was identical and they each included two strips of bacon, two sausage links, scrambled eggs, a cup of yogurt, some fries, and a slice of pizza. Enkal then replaced the metal sheet and the two ships then thanked for their food and picked it up to start eating. Feuarke was actually surprised at the amount they got and that they could go for a while with it.
The food was like heaven to them and it was still warm too in the icy shelter. They were sure that the people back at base were enjoying it quite well too. Enkal then asked the battleship a question, "Hey do you wonder what an Abyssal taste like?"
Feuarke stopped eating and looked disgusted, "Where did that come from?"
"I dunno. It just came to mind." Enkal replied in thought. The two ships continued to eat and talk before finishing their food.
"Hey shouldn't we bring the trays back?" Feuarke asked.
"Nah. They'll get suspicious." Enkal replied, "Unless you want to sneak into the kitchen late and put them back when they're not looking."
"Yea you're right. Although I'm sure they can be used for something. They are metal after all." Feuarke said as she tapped on the tray.
"Right. i'm gonna rest until we can go out when the temperature is lower." Enkal replied.
Feuarke did the same thing as she picked up the small ship besides her and closed her eyes.
"Hey. That's not right." Enkal then said as she got up.
Feuarke only opened her eyes to look at the other warship, "What?"
"My temperture was dropping earlier but now it's completely fine." Enkal replied as she then removed the metal sheet and poked her head out.
Feuarke yawned tiredly, "What is it? It's only the temperature right?"
"I think we have a bigger problem to think of." Enkal said as she then quickly ducked back into the shelter and replaced the sheet.
"What is it?" Feuarke asked worried.
"Take a look." Enkal parted the metal sheet from the wall partly.
Feuarke crouched down to look outside, still holding the small ship, "I don't see anything."
"Look closer and quietly." Enkal commanded as the battleship continued to look out the small space. There were quite a bit of snow crunching and things moving. She continued to look to try and find the source before backing away and Enkal replacing the sheet.
"We can't fight them can we?"
"We can try while we send a plane back to warn them." Enkal sighed. The warship then got up and started to dig out the wall. Feuarke started to help before they managed to open yet another hole that blasted cold wind in, snow covered trees on the other side.
"Go. And launch that ship of yours to try and warn them. I'll hold them off while you escape with the others."
"But you'll get destroyed!"
"Please. I know what I am." Enkal smirked as she dug up the snow she was sleeping on to reveal a rifle and pistol. Feuarke only nodded sorrowly as she launched the ship in an upright position and bolted out to the trees. Enkal climbed out after, the rifle slung onto her back. She then climbed over the shelter, crushing it, and ran in the opposite direction, shooting the pistol along the way. This drew the attention of the Abyssals as they turned back to the sea where they came and started to follow Enkal. Although some stayed on their original objective and continued through the trees.
The pistol then clicked and Enkal tossed it away to unsling the rifle. The pistol only had one mag for ten bullets, but the rifle had a tri-mag, each magazine with ten bullets. The rifle had no recoil from its small 22lr ammunition. After using all the ammo of the rifle, she too discarded that. Enkal then summoned her gear and looked ad the wave of Abyssals that were still waiting, "Alright you ladies and gentlemen or whatever the hell gender you are. You messed with the wrong friggin' ship!"
