The Mist 2: Rescue Operations

Chapter 31: Akagi and Kaga

Heavy breathing rung loudly in Akagi's ears, the brown-haired fox woman dashing along the treeline near the forest.

Kaga was just a step behind her, and running at an even pace with her was Enterprise and Hornet. The two Eagle Union women weren't nearly as fast as Akagi and Kaga, perhaps down to their two weeks of survival, so Akagi mindfully slowed her run down just enough to to keep pace with the two carriers. Both of out sympathy, and general tactical wisdom.

The four of them were making their way towards the seawall, intent on rounding up the guards there and taking them back out of the mist, or at least forming a more solid defensive line whilst evacuating the survivors.

That was the plan – or it was, until Enterprise suddenly snapped her head to the left, eyes focusing on something only she could see.

''The thing is that way.'' Enterprise murmured, more to herself than the others. ''Akagi, Kaga... you two continue to the seawall. Me and Hornet will go off on our own.''

Akagi shot a look over at the grey-haired woman. ''I hardly think that's wise.''

''We don't have the time to make wise decisions.'' Enterprise responded simply, not taking her eyes off the unseen target. ''The longer that thing is around, the worse things are gonna get... and, I have a feeling that it's tied to the mist itself.''

''Are you implying that if you kill this supposed creature, the mist will disappear?''

''Yes. Maybe.'' Enterprise shrugged. ''I don't know. Maybe it won't do anything; maybe it's just a powerful monster and nothing more. But I feel something off about it, like it's important somehow. Perhaps it's thanks to the Ghost I absorbed, or it could just be instinct... either way, I can't allow it to continue roaming about.''

''And we cannot afford to abandon those at the seawall, now that the medical bay is out of order.'' Kaga murmured, brows furrowed.

''Yeah.'' Hornet chimed in with a grim smile. ''Sucks, don't it?''

Kaga just grunted in agreement, readying her shikigami. ''Your call, Akagi-neesama.''

Akagi frowned, silent even as the group continued running towards the seawall, time ticking down. Splitting up was a decidedly unwise decision, but at the same time they couldn't afford to stick together – and all four of them were more than capable of handling themselves in pairs of two. And if time was really of the essence as Enterprise suggested, then every minute they spent together was one wasted.

Soon, the fox-woman sighed. ''Very well. Enterprise and Hornet, go chase after this monster of yours – but don't risk yourselves unnecessarily. That newfound gift of yours will be much-needed in defeating the other monsters. Myself and Kaga will be down at the seawall providing support to the others and evacuating those needed.''

''Understood.'' Enterprise gave her a quick salute, turning away. ''Take care.''

And then with a flourish of their cloaks the two women disappeared out into the mist, gone from sight in moments.

X-x-X

It was a short journey down to the seawall. And unfortunately, things weren't looking good.

Many of the defenders had either been subdued or knocked unconscious outright, many monsters gleefully pounding away at the defeated Ship-Girls before Akagi and Kaga came to their rescue, killing the monsters responsible. Mercifully the ensemble of monster largely consisted of the more common Lizardman and Werewolves, with only a scarce few more dangerous monsters mixed up with them such as Scorpio or Drakin.

However by the time they had killed all the monsters present, there was very few defenders left standing and able – and many of them had to carry the injured away under the guide of Akagi and Kaga. Mercifully one of the Destroyers, Shimakaze, was able to summon her ship form and let everyone on-board; the Destroyer then using her impressive, borderline top-tier speed to sail straight out of the mist. Few monsters would be able to grab ahold of her when she was moving so fast, but Akagi sent some fighters to guide them out on the off-chance that some airborne monsters got too cocky.

And by the time Shimakaze had guided the group away and to safety, only a handful of defenders were left by the seawall.

''Orders, Akagi-sama?'' Shouhou piped up, frowning worriedly.

Akagi pretended to be in deep thought, when in actuality she was scrounging for something to say that didn't demoralise the petite carrier. ''Hm... I would suggest you girls fall back. There's too few defenders left to form a worthwhile defence, so there's no use in staying here for much longer.''

Shouhou nodded rapidly at that, more than eager to get away from their current location. ''U-Understood! Um, should we leave like Shimakaze-san?''

''That would be unwise.'' Kaga noted aloud, drawing eyes to her. ''Shimakaze is one of the fastest Destroyers out there. You are not nearly as fast as her, and the size of your hull will make you a much bigger target. You are better off travelling by land until you can either regroup with others, or depart from the mist and regroup there.''

'Though where Ibuki disappeared to, is another question entirely...' Kaga privately thought, visage darkening at the reminder. Nobody had seen where she had gone , and the only person with her, Cooper, was unconscious when they found her.

Whether she was alive or dead was unknown. The latter, unfortunately, seemed to be more likely with the evidence they currently had.

Shouhou seemed slightly disappointed at the older carrier's words, but nodded all the same. ''Ah, right...''

Akagi nodded, halfway through telling them to go and make haste – only to pause when she heard distant movement. Kaga heard it too, her fox ears twitching before she turned her body towards the source of the sound, her eyes narrowing coldly. The reaction didn't go amiss by the others, who all tensed up and prepared their own weapons.

Something that would prove to be a wise decision, as a large group of monsters burst out of the mist. It was a mix of Hellhounds and Werewolves, the bulkier Hellhounds hanging back behind their mutant offspring who gleefully ran ahead, the two species working as one big pack – one that was clearly roaming around and claiming girls as they went, judging by the virginal blood clinging to the crotch of some of the furry monsters.

''Eliminate them!'' Akagi barked out, hurling a shikigami not a second after she spoke.

It detonated into a plume of raging smoke upon impact, flesh airborne as she undoubtedly killed the monster she hit – but there was a dozen more to break through the smoke, dispelling it with their sprinting forms. Mercifully the others were there to help her alone; Kaga detonated several more shikigami whilst Chitose and Chiyoda already had some planes in the air and brought them down with great effect, bombing the incoming monsters and forcing them to haphazardly dodge, slowing them down slightly and leaving them easier targets.

Between all the carriers present, the Hellhound-Werewolf pack should've been obliterated easily. And it would've – had multiple creatures not surged up from the water behind them, grabbing at them from behind. Chiyoda and Chitose were the first victims, twin shrieks escaping the busty carriers as a pair of muscled hands roughly grabbed their boobs from behind, manhandling them through their clothing. A second pair of arms went lower, one hand jamming itself into their panties ant the other holding their stomachs, helping restrain them.

''Mn?!'' Akagi twisted around and threw a shikigami just as one went for her, spotting the culprits – Squidmen, albeit ones with two pairs of arms.

Her shikigami detonated on impact, killing it by blowing its head apart, but before she could consider taking down the ones molesting Chiyoda and Chitose she noticed more movement ahead of them. Lizardmen. The yellowish monsters were the unarmoured variant with just one or two armoured ones amongst them, which would normally make them less of a threat – but with them being flanked from both sides and still mopping up the Hellhound-Werewolf pack, and suddenly quantity trumped quality.

Thankfully Kaga was quicker to act, throwing multiple shikigami and making them transform into planes – kamikazeing the planes into the Lizardman pack. In their plane forms the explosion was less condensed, but much wider spread; detonating into raging plumes that utterly engulfed the incoming monsters, burnt limbs flying out of the smoke. Those that weren't killed were likely slowed down, allowing Akagi to toss several shikigami of her own, aiding Shouhou in killing most of the Werewolves, leaving only the Hellhounds remaining.

However, all the fighting and explosions had drawn the attention of even more monsters – and amongst them, one tall figure marched, heading straight for Akagi.

Akagi heard it approach, its heavy breathing giving it away. She spun around to face the beast, eyes landing upon the hulking form of an Orc Chief – a rusted, warped piece of metal in its hands, forming the vague shape of a sword. It didn't outright charge her but simply marched steadily her way, and had they not currently been under siege Akagi might've entertained the notion of examining her opponent, but as it was she just threw several shikigami its way.

It didn't like that. With a roar the beast sliced them in half before they detonated, causing the shreds of magical fabric to flutter helplessly past it and immediately gaining Akagi's full attention – her eyes widening as the Orc Chief rushed her, blade held as it if to cut her down.

''Akagi-neesama!'' Kaga shouted, grunting as she blew up a Squidman that tried to grab her from behind.

''Focus on the others!'' Akagi shouted back, throwing one shikigami with her left and detonating it at the Orc Chief's feet, slowing it down.

With a tight expression Kaga obeyed, refocusing on the monsters besieging her opponents. However she was running low on planes; forcing her to aim each shikigami carefully before throwing them, killing nearly every monster on impact. Chiyoda and Chitose however had been forced to the floor, their tops ripping open and allowing the Squidmen to gleefully fondle their plump breasts, manhandling them vigorously – the two sisters' rigging dented and warped from the surprise attacks.

Kaga killed them quickly, mentally apologising to Chiyoda and Chitose for getting them caught up in the blast – but her attention quickly shifted as multiple Lizardmen closed in on her. They approached her faster than she was expecting, their lack of armour enhancing their speed. By the time they got close enough Kaga had two shikigami preparing, using them to great effect and killing two of the incoming Lizardmen.

However there was many more than two.

''Mn-!'' Kaga grunted as one of the Lizardmen managed to snatch her arm, yanking her close.

She jerked her head out of the way, preventing the beast from grabbing her neck and allowing her to drive her fist into its gut, making it grunt. However the Lizardman replied by yanking her up against its body, its other hand raking down her rigging before digging into her ass. A second Lizardman came up and ripped the rest of her rigging off, catching her wrist when she tried to throw a shikigami at it – and with a harsh twist, it snapped her wrist.

''Gh-!'' Kaga gritted her teeth to contain her scream; pride making her deny them the pleasure of hearing her cry out.

Not that it stopped the monsters from wrestling her to the ground. Kaga shouted and struggled, but her kicks and strong punches failed to slow the beasts down. Their clawed hands ran over her body and ripped her clothes off bit bit by, her kimono sliding down her front and allowing one Lizardman to bite her breast – eliciting a startled gasp from Kaga before she winced, grunting as the Lizardman hefted her tit about with its maw. Its teeth just barely drew blood and no more, but the pain of getting bit in the tit was enough to slow her struggles, instinctively not wanting to risk getting mutilated.

The monsters took advantage of that. The moment she slowed the beast released her breast and rolled her over onto her back, shoving her shoulders down against the hard ground and pushing its cock against her ass. Her panties had been ripped off beforehand, leaving nothing to stop the meaty cock from sliding along her smooth entrance, the tip finding the hole – before with a hiss the monster slammed into her pussy, nearly bottoming out in a single clean thrust.

''Nn!'' Kaga buckled, teeth clenched as pain flared inside her. ''W-Wretch! I'll... Mn, k-kill you!''

The Lizardmen just hissed at her defiant shouts, and a wince crossed Kaga's visage as the Lizardman behind her yanked its cock out – only to slam back into her. It hit her deepest parts and jolted her body forwards, her bare breasts swinging from the movement. Not a second later another thrust stuffed her pussy full, followed soon by another thrust, and then another after that; the monster relentlessly pounding her tight pussy as it mated with her.

From the corner of her eye Kaga could see the other girls falling victim too. Shouhou was bent over on her knees and getting raped by a Hellhound, the muscled beast howling as it began to knot her tight pussy – making Shouhou scream as it stretched her virgin insides apart. Chiyoda had been pushed onto her back, her long legs spread and a Werewolf gleefully defiling her pussy, another Werewolf holding her head and fucking her mouth upside-down, muffling her voice. Chitose wasn't spared either; laid down on her side and getting railed in both her pussy and ass, her mouth getting stuffed with Werewolf cock too.

''Guh-!'' Kaga half-grunted, half-gasped as the Lizardman behind her released her right hip – grabbing her swaying breast instead, its rough grip knocking the air out of her lungs.

As if to remind her of its presence the Lizardman hammered her pussy much more harshly, its girthy shaft sliding all the way into her sex before roughly yanking itself out, only to stuff her full on the next thrust. However what disgusted her more was the sight of several Lizardmen jerking off in her face, as if entertaining themselves until it was their turn to breed her. That, or they were waiting for her to raise her head so they could fuck her mouth.

With a shudder Kaga replied by keeping her head down, unintentionally posing a submissive figure as she got pounded from behind. The Lizardman was rough and forceful, reshaping her inner walls with its meaty cock and making her feel every bit of it, hammering her cervix at the same time. Worst still she could feel it twitching and throbbing inside her, forbidding her from ignoring its presence and reminding her of what was to come; pre-cum wetting the tip of its dick as it kept stuffing her sex.

''Nn, gh...!'' Kaga screwed her eyes shut, humiliation burning her cheeks. ''Bastard... I'll... m-make you pay...!''

Slapping skin answered her, the monster's cock sliding into her womanhood roughly – until the creature hissed, and came. Its seed gushed into her pussy and filled her up, its claws harshly digging into her soft, plump breast and heaving it about, knocking the air out of Kaga as she was impregnated.

Only a few moments later ropes of cum hit her in the face. She shuddered, intimately feeling the hot load splatter over her cheeks, her lips and eyelids, her fringe and even over her fox ears; the multiple Lizardmen drenching her face in their cum.

''Hah... haah...'' Kaga twitched as the monster behind her pulled out. ''Fuckers...''

Another Lizardman replaced it, and Kaga growled through clenched teeth as they resumed mating with her.

X-x-X

Akagi had underestimated the monster.

What she saw simply as a larger, slightly stronger Orc was in actuality something of a primitive human, at least in terms of fighting style. Its technique was sloppy and its knowledge of its weapon minimal, but coupled with its superhuman instincts and clearly-honed reflexes, and Akagi found herself facing an opponent she was far from suited to fight. It didn't help that she had very little melee training of her own, largely thanks to her nature as a carrier – she was battlefield support, not a screening ship.

Thus, when the Orc Chief began swinging its improvised sword at her, Akagi found herself struggling to keep up. Her speed was greater than it and she was more flexible, but she could only keep dodging for so long – battling for hours had taken its toll on her mentally and physically, and she knew deep down sooner or later she'd make a mistake.

Which came in the form of a badly-positioned landing, her foot sliding across the wet ground underfoot slightly, delaying her for a second.

Then the Orc Chief grabbed her by the front of her kimono, yanking her close. The pommel of its sword impacted her forehead with a mighty 'crack!', sending stars through her vision and briefly making it impossible to think, her brain rattling around her skull painfully. The Orc Chief used that chance to shove her back onto the concrete, its free hand going under her skirt and ripping her underwear clean off her hips, leaving nothing to shield her womanhood.

''Mn...!'' Akagi, however, refused to give in. ''Don't you... d-dare!''

The Orc Chief growled at her, bringing its sword down. The tip pierced through her right forearm and stabbed it down into the concrete, effectively impaling her arm to the ground. Akagi screamed at the sudden impalement, bearing her fangs in a fearsome snarl and lashing out with her free hand, raking her sharp nails down its forearm like a wild animal, her fox traits becoming all the more apparent in her murderous state.

However that did little to stop the Orc Chief from pushing its thick cock up against her pussy, and slamming inside. Another harsh scream escaped Akagi and her body seized up, pain flashing across her visage as her first time was harshly stolen. Making it worse was the fact of how big the Orc Chief was, its thick length filling her up on the first thrust, making pain throb through her womanhood as she was forcibly adjusted to the cock inside her.

''Gah-!'' Without giving her time to adjust the Orc Chief plunged itself into her over and over again, stuffing her and dangerously hitting her cervix, teasing her with the possibility of it penetrating her deepest parts.

Mercifully it didn't, but that brought little comfort to Akagi – a string of sharp, rasping breaths escaping the carrier as the Orc Chief smacked its pelvis against hers. Her inner walls tried valiantly to clench around the monster's thick girth, but it was just too big for her to handle. And no matter how much she screamed at it, how she nearly frothed with rage and clawed at it with her free hand, the monster kept using her pussy like its personal cum dump, shaping her insides to better fit its cock.

Its free hand briefly came down her front, ripping her kimono down and exposing her large breasts – the Orc Chief wasting no time in reaching out and grabbing her tits, giving them a brief squeeze and fondle before sliding its hand further up, grabbing her neck. The sudden tight grip made her choke, spittle flying from her lips as she tried fruitlessly to snarl at the Orc Chief, her long legs buckling and spasming as it drove its thick cock into her womanhood over and over again.

''Mn! Nngh! Gh!'' Akagi's cries were stifled only slightly by the tight hand around her throat, choking her out and making breathing hard, and also making it harder to fight back.

Something that Orc Chief gleefully took advantage of, exhaling heavy breaths in her face as it sheathed itself inside her womanhood. The tight embrace of her pussy only encouraged it to keep stuffing her fully, smacking its pelvis against hers and making her large breasts bounce about. Its thrusts were so strong her thighs jiggled and her tails spasmed, her nerves alight as the monster filled her with its inhumanly-big shaft, leaving her barely able to clench around its cock.

Slowly Akagi began to feel the monster throb inside her, the meaning not lost on her. The carrier's eyes grew wide and her lips curved into a snarl, kicking her legs as desperately as she could – the very thought of getting impregnated by a monster threatening to dent her pride irreparably. But like many who came before her, she found herself utterly helpless before the stronger monster, its cock pulsing and throbbing in her vagina as it neared its limit, swelling up in size as it prepared to dump its cum inside her.

And just as she tensed up, as she braced – the Orc Chief slammed into her tight pussy and blew its cum load inside her, painting her inner walls white with its milky load.

''Mn!'' Akagi buckled at the feeling, face scrunched up as she endured the spurts of warmth that filled her womanhood. ''Ah... h-haah... y-you...''

The Orc Chief growled in her face-

-and quick, thundering footsteps became audible behind the Orc Chief.

The monster noticed, quickly pulling out and violently yanking its jagged sword out of Akagi's forearm – ignoring her gasp of pain – and raised its blade just in time to stop the incoming battle-standard. However the beast was unprepared for a second battle-standard to thrust in and stab its collarbone, burst out of its back and making it grunt in pain.

Bismarck and Tirpitz glared down at the beast, yanking both their weapons back. The Orc Chief stumbled up its full height and glowered at them, lifting its blade with a roar – but Tirpitz was faster, suddenly twisting to reveal her torpedo tubes and firing them at point-blank range; causing the short-ranged torpedoes to detonate in a chain of explosions across the Orc Chief's front, blowing out chunks of flesh from its form.

''Rah...!'' The beast cleared the smoke with a wave of its hand, growling angrily and with blood dribbling down its front.

Bismarck closed the distance quickly, lashing out for its neck. Clumsily the Orc Chief blocked, the action clearly much more difficult in its injured state. And also took all of its attention – leaving it blind to Akagi sitting up, summoning a shikigami to her hand, and throwing it.

The Orc Chief heard it flying through the air and turned to face it – right as it reached its face.

BOOM!

Shrapnel flew, a burst of fire and smoke emanated, and the Orc Chief stumbled out of the smoke, coughing blood. It fell down to one knee, supporting itself with its bloodied sword as it glared at Bismarck, Tirpitz and Akagi, who all returned the glare with one of their own.

''Victory...'' Its jaw moved; rasping the words out. ''...is mine.''

Then finally the Orc Chief's extensive wounds took its toll on the beast, and with a lifeless exhale it collapsed down onto its front, sword clattering from its unmoving hand.

''Victory...?'' Tirpitz frowned down at the deceased monster. ''I wasn't aware that monsters could talk.''

''Nor I.'' Bismarck murmured back, gaze sliding over to Akagi – the fox-woman shambling to her feet. ''Though perhaps, in mating with Ship-Girls, it considering that it's 'victory'. For reasons known only to it, most likely.''

Tirpitz just hummed, eyes scanning their surroundings. The two sisters had run into some Ironblood Destroyers that had been present in the mist prior to their arrival, and after a quick run-down of the chaotic events preceding the base-wide battle, they had formed a small task force until they could reunite with the others. And thankfully the Destroyers were able to help clean up the remaining Hellhounds and Lizardmen plaguing the area, freeing the defiled girls from further humiliation.

Though by now the damage was done. Kaga was quietly sitting and wiping cum off her face, eyes ablaze but face twisted in shame. Chiyoda and Chitose were shaking and quietly talking with each other, some measure of relief on their features now that both of them were safe. Shouhou was the worse off, laying flat on her stomach and mumbling replies to the Destroyers worriedly speaking to her.

''Akagi.'' Bismarck addressed the recently-defiled fox-woman, frowning.

''If you're about to offer your sympathies, please save it, Bismarck.'' Akagi's response was curt and slightly cutting, but neither Ironblood woman held it against her – not when considering the events that happened literal minutes ago. ''Your assistance would've been more help ten minutes ago.''

Bismarck dipped her head. ''Apologies. Manoeuvring in the mist is challenging, and Tirpitz and I were unceremoniously brought into it, thanks to a Mirror Sea on the other side of the world.''

''Is that so.'' Akagi grunted, wincing when she moved.

''Indeed.'' Tirpitz nodded lightly. ''Now then, I suggest we depart immediately. Staying here is too dangerous given your injuries.''

''Oh indeed.''

The sudden warped, twisted voice startled all those present, eyes snapping to the sky above them,

And revealing the inky-black figure that levitated above them, wings beating alongside those of a dozen Fallen Angels.

''You may address me as 'Corruption'.'' The entity known as Corruption spoke, grinning almost demonically.

''And you two... shall become the conduits my master so desires!''
