I don't own Kancolle
Plumes of water continued to sprout around us, soaking us to the bone. Me and Arizona broke off to the left to try and flank the group but was forced back by another barrage of shells. "Alright if strategic maneuvers won't work, then I guess brute force will!" I yelled leveling my guns at an Abyssal cruiser and letting them loose with a deafening boom.
The Abyssal exploded and vanished from the surface. "Nice one!" Arizona called letting loose a volley of her guns.
I took a glance over at the rest of the girls being led by Yamato and Shaw, and give a smile of appreciation,as Shaw and Yamato are leading them with high efficiency. The two of them had broken them up into a two lined formation and had split the Abyssal force in two. Shaw was leading the carrier force with their relentless bombings of the Abyssals that one by one they sank into the water. "Hey dream boy come back to reality here!" Arizona yelled snapping my attention back to what we were doing and just in time as well. Another salvo was aimed and coming directly at us.
I weaved to the right as the salvo came splashing down before turning and letting the 17 inch guns roar, blasting the Abyssal to bits. "You need to be paying more attention to the battle ahead of you!" Arizona laughed before breaking off towards one of their battleships.
I gave her a cockeyed smile and turned back to face Spee, now standing alone as every other Abyssal was engaged with the girls. "End of the line Spee." I growl at her, drawing my sword and leveling my guns at her.
Spee placed a hand on her hip and laughed a cocky laugh. "Klara did say that you were quite hot blooded, so I think I may have some fun, but there is one that I am a tad disappointed in you about."
"And what's that?" I demanded, not turning my gaze from her.
"You really should learn to look up your opponents armaments." She smiled and with blazing speed, she had closed in on me and that's when I noticed two three barreled torpedo tubes in between her guns.
"Oh shit!" I yelled just as Spee released her torpedo barrage and opened fire.
By some sheer amount of luck, I dodged the first barrage of torpedoes but the armor on my side took the hit of the shells knocking me off balance. "Come on is that really all it took to knock down the mighty Montana!?" Spee laughed aiming her guns again.
"Guess again bitch." I cooed at her turning one of my turrets and firing three HE rounds at point blank range.
They exploded as I slowly got up and looked at how the battle was going around me, but my immediate area began to fill with smoke reducing my visibility to only a few feet in front of me "Did you really think those shells were enough to actually slow me down?" Spee's voice resonated from everywhere at once. "Please you should know better than to pick a fight with one of the best raiders around." I felt something sharp slice past my thigh.
"I've had years of experience in stealth and sneaking up on a merchant ship, and you're no different than those captains." Another sharp pain in my other side.
"Quit being a coward and fight me!" I yelled into the smoke.
"Really you call this cowardly? You call me a coward for actually outsmarting you? Please you're pathetic!" She laughed as I felt another slice but this time across my chest.
"Damn it! Where the hell is she!?" I thought angrily and desperately as I looked around the smoke.
"Klara said that this would be a challenge, but you aren't even putting up a fight!" She exclaimed.
I caught a flash of steel out of the corner of my eye coming at me at a speed that I thought impossible. My reaction time was slow compared to the speed that Spee was coming at me. I was barely able to dodge the first strike when she swung the sword again catching my arm. She spun around going for a strike to my head, but I brought up my sword and deflected it. She moved a few feet away and swung the sword flicking off blood. "Hm, you surprise me with how durable you are." She said flicking the blood off the sword again.
Breathing heavily, I brought the sword up into a guard stance. "You have got to be fucking kidding me with this speed." I mumbled as I readied myself for another one of her attacks.
"You know I've grown a bit tired of playing with you so I'm going to end this now." In a flash she was gone and reappeared in front of me with her sword moving towards my heart.
TIme seemed to slow. I looked at Spee's sword as it moved towards me in slow motion. Suddenly, I had the same feeling I felt in the cave when I fought Klara of being separated from my body. But instead of blacking out, I found myself watching from above in the third person. I watched in shock and fascination as in lightning fast speed three times the rate I was moving, brought up my sword and deflected the blow startling Spee. Shock and surprise spread across her face as I watched my body kick her square in the stomach sending her flying. Spee landed with a splash and began coughing as the wind had been knocked out of her. She looked up at my face in confusion, then to hatred.
"What the hell was that!? Where the hell did you finally get that much strength?" She stood up and looked at my body hard.
I looked at the expression on my face, and was only met with a blank stare showing no emotion at all. "What the hell are you!?" Spee spat at me, but my expression never shifted or changed. "Hmph, this changes nothing der Penner." she growled bringing up her sword and charging in. With now almost unnatural ease, I watched as my body brought up the sword and matched Spees sword strike.
Steel rang as Spee continued to attack, but my body blocked every shot with the sharp sound of steel ringing. "How is it you're now able to keep up with me huh?" She demanded, but my body said nothing and revealed nothing.
In the sudden pause of her attack, my body reacted and went on the attack releasing brutal blows, that shocked Spee. The attacks were ruthless, as they struck her sword with crushing accuracy. Spee threw a kick that my body ducked under and threw a kick at her while she was off balance by the force of her own kick. The kick connected to her jaw, and I believe it broke as I heard a sickening crack. She screamed in pain as she backed away one hand on her jaw and the other on her sword. My body wasted no time in the opening of her pain, and with three quick consecutive slashes across her chest, arms and legs, before throwing a punch at her face and connecting to her broken jaw spewing blood. Another powerful kick to her stomach brought her to her knees, sending her sword splashing away into the water.
"Hat re u!?" Spee demanded with her hand on her jaw, and the other clutching her stomach.
As soon as she asked the question, my body grabbed one of her arms and in one fluid quick motion, I heard the bone snap causing her to again scream out in pain. Spee looked at her snapped arm in horror before looking back up at my body. And just as she looked back my hands pulled out of my side pocket the peacemaker gun that Oklahoma had given me, and twirled it, before cocking it back and leveling it straight at Spee's face right between her eyes.
"Your retribution." My body said in a voice that sounded nothing like my own. The voice sounded like I was in a trance as a monotone, showing no emotion at all.
Suddenly my perspective of the battle changed to back where I was in my own body holding the gun. I looked down at the gun and at Spee, my finger resting on the trigger of it. "Finish the job." A voice said in my head in a soothing tone. "She's just like those Abyssals you killed, it should be easy, so kill her." I feel as the voice sounds familiar, but I can't place where I've heard it.
I shook my head, and in my moment of hesitation, Spee reacted and deployed a smoke screen. "U,won his battle but, it e our last." She said, as I brought up my hand being temporarily blinded by the smoke. As the smoke cleared, Spee had vanished with it.
Gingerly, I placed the pistol back into my pocket and slowly sheathed my sword, before collapsing to my knees and vomiting into the ocean. "Montana are you alright!?" I heard Burke call, as she came sailing over at flank speed. She knelt next to me and placed a hand on my back. "Are you injured?"
I shook my head, and looked away as I vomited again. "I'm- I'm fine." I say rising to my feet. Burke places one of my arms around her and guides me over to where the rest of the girls were waiting for me.
'Are you alright?" Eugen asked worriedly, as I came up to them.
"Yeah, I'm alright." I say shrugging off of Burke and standing up. "What are our casualties?" I ask looking at Shaw.
"We have no girls lost luckily thanks to these girls here, but we do have a few injured though Mercy took care of them" She motioned at Iowa, Yamato, and Arizona. Iowa gave a victory sign, while Yamato smiled. Arizona nodded and looked at me with a questioning look in her eye.
"What happened to the fleetgirl that was leading this raid?" Shaw asked.
"She got away." I said simply before turning to Arizona. "We'll talk later." I mouth to her.
Mercy came up and looked me over. "Besides from a few scratches, you appear to be fine." She said after looking me over.
"Alright then we better get going then and continue our journey with as few more interruptions as possible." The girls nodded and got back into formation.
After scanning the area again and assuring we were safe, before heading off again at full power. "What a disappointment." the soothing voice said with a twang of smugness.
"Get the fuck out of my head." I thought angrily, only to have it laugh.
"Oh, so naive, but i'm tired so I'll leave you alone for now but you will be hearing me again, I guarantee it. Cause sadly you're stuck with me"
I shake my head, earning a confused look from Iowa. I give her a smile and thumbs up, before turning my attention to the sea and the direction we were going. The sun reached a high point at around noon, before I called us to a stop. "Let's rest here for a few minutes before continuing on. Eugen how long and far are we from the District?"
Eugen looked around and thought about it for a few minutes, "Judging by our position and how long it took us last time, I would say possibly another hour and a half to two hours."
"Hmmm alright, I say we can spare a half hour break. So you girls relax for a bit Mexico come with me for a moment, I would like to talk to you...privately." I motioned for Arizona to follow, she nodded and followed me until I figured we were out of earshot.
"What is it?" She asked crossing her arms under her chest.
"A lot of shit has happened since we left and since you're the only one who could understand it the most, you need to know." I say heaving a sigh and begin to tell her everything that had happened since meeting Klara and Spee on Christmas to receiving Louise's severed arm as a present to hearing Klara's voice in my head. I left out the bit about the other voice that I've been hearing.
Arizona was quiet for a long time. "I know it's a lot to take in, but I just needed to tell someone." I started to say, but she put a hand on my shoulder.
"Listen, you need to remember, that it's not just me that is a part of this, all the other girls really do care for you. I've seen how they look at you and everything. Now the looks they give you, I have only ever seen given by sailors who are willing to follow their captain or commander to the ends of the Earth. And I bet back at the District a lot of other people probably give you the same amount of respect." She said, her hard eyes softening slightly.
"Hmph seems she's your type of girl. Because damn look at her chest and everything! Those other girls seem to be competition in your harem. Hahaha!" The voice laughed in my head.
"Whoever you are in my head shut the hell up!" I thought angrily.
"Oh, so scary! You really need to work on that factor of you if you really want to be intimidating." It said before falling silent again.
"Ummm, thanks." I tell Arizona, she gives me a pat on the shoulder before returning to the group of girls as they began to reassemble themselves preparing to move out again. "Well let's finally reach home." I say to no one in particular.
"And let the fun begin." The voice laughs.
