Japan, Wadatsumi Naval Base

The time in Japan is 12:10 at noon.

Wadatsumi naval base is the first to have shipgirls fighting against the enemy that are related to the abyssal fleet.

This base as a whole is abandoned, yet no one has demolished this building while dust is flying all over the buildings.

Finally, a giant is strolling inside the building as she witnesses one of the oldest riggings in the arsenal.

"What is this place?" Wanko asked as she too had never seen this building before. "Is this the kanmusu from many years ago? The first generation? Wow! I must be the first one to discover this base!" Gasped with excitement, Wanko realised that stumbling onto this base is a good thing.

Then, she checked on the body of a black haired woman who hadn't moved for a long time.

That body looked human.

An empty shell?

She looks empty inside and outside.

"Who was that? 'Yamato…' Eh!? But Yamato is brunette with flowers! She looks a lot different from the one we faced. Is that the first generation Yamato?" Wanko asked with curiosity.

The Yamato she encountered appeared to be a very different girl with the same class, same type of ship, but with a very different ability.

"Is she a samurai? She looks kinda like one…" Wanko asked.

Then a creaking sound had caught Wanko's attention as she yelped, then instantly hid behind a large cannon after footsteps were heard.

The one who arrived in the arsenal is Asashio as she's fully prepared with her rigging and carries her [12.7cm twin gun mount model C kai 2] cannon inside an abandoned arsenal.

Slowly, Asashio admires a place so old, yet they could be very useful to repel the abyssal fleet from the surface.

But unfortunately, they easily gain access to the surface.

Then, Asashio witnessed some bodies as they're obviously dead. She knew that they worked so hard on fighting for mankind, yet they're now being replaced by her friends and comrades, including herself.

Now she pitied them.

Then put her hand on 1st gen Yamato's head.

"Thank you. Without you, mankind wouldn't have fought back against the abyssal fleet and created us." Then Asashio sighed as she lowered her head and then looked straight at Yamato while asking her something. "Is it true that you're formerly human as well? If so, then I'm sorry."

Asashio then picks herself up and then investigates the room where Wanko is hiding.

"Where are you, Seaport?" Asashio called bitterly.

She remembers that one enters the building, the other escapes. And Wanko is attempting to escape by tiptoeing away from the arsenal.

"Found you!" A destroyer shouted.

Finally, Asashio instantly turns behind herself and then fires out a shell which nearly catches Wanko by her head. Wanko then closes the door and rushes away from the arsenal leading Asashio to dash towards the entrance

"Hey! Let me out!" Asashio yelled as she struggled to open the door as Wanko left a dusty cannon by the door. "Ngh! This is Asashio! I detected an enemy!" Asashio called on her speaker.

[Really!? Did you get her!?] Ushio's voice called through the speaker.

"I didn't unfortunately, the princess had gotten away. Now I'm stuck here." Asashio sighed.

[Hold on, we'll get you out once we're done on our side.] Ashigara's voice called.

"Thank you, sensei."

Finally, Asashio is sitting by on the stairs as she's waiting for her teammates to save her and capture Wanko altogether.

But how long will they be here?

In the cafeteria, this building has lots of food and drinks in this dusty kitchen area.

As for Asashimo and Uzuki, Asashimo is still on the lookout whereas Uzuki is sitting by the table after getting her torso wrapped by a bandage but also got her blue sailor top torn.

"You know, rabbit, everytime an abyssal shows up, you always go for the harder ones. I get that you're still pissed, but you're putting your own life at risk." Asashimo said while looking inside an empty cupboard.

"I mean… At least I'm not as depressed as Shigure-san and Fubuki-san, pyon. Not even Kongou-san is depressed." Uzuki groaned.

"Yeah, but her sisters are still alive. Shigure's comrades are her closest to family, and not even her assholish behaviour is justifiable. As for that idiot Fubuki, why the hell should I pity her? She thinks she's better than me!? Maybe she could kiss her own boring ass potato face and suck my nonexistent dick!" Asashimo yelled as she seethed out her hatred for Fubuki. "Calling me shark teeth, I'll bite her!"

"Gee, you really hate Fubuki-san, pyon?"

"So what if I did? It's not like I want her dead or anything!" Asashimo growled, pulling out a rotten fish out of the fridge. "And besides, fighting an enemy horde alone is a death wish and that dumbass chose death!"

"Is it an order?" Uzuki asked.

"No. It's disobeying our former Teitoku's orders." Asashimo answered.

"Oh."

Uzuki begins to understand Asashimo's anger towards Fubuki, her now rival and old comrade.

After their chat about Fubuki and Asashimo's bitterness towards each other, Asashimo groaned as the food in the fridge is rotten, even milk is out of date.

"Disgusting… How long did these kanmusus abandoned their base? Geez wasting all these good stuff to rot."

"To be fair, pyon, people left their stuff is why they gotten bad." Uzuki sighed. "Maybe they can be put in the bins." Uzuki then points at a bun which is half full, leading Asashimo to pick a couple of outdated foods.

"Alright. The plastics go in the plastic bins, and the papers in the paper bins."

"Right, pyon!" Uzuki salutes and then picks up a packet and a dead fish as she sprints towards the bin.

While the duo were cleaning up the cafeteria and the kitchen, a claw had picked up a fish as the sound of a sniff had caught Uzuki's attention.

"Pyon?"

"Urgh! It stinks…" Wanko grunts as she drops a rotten fish into the bin. "Hm? Oh no!" Wanko fears that Uzuki is nearby, meaning she'll get herself caught.

After that, Uzuki checks behind the door…

Unfortunately she saw nothing.

"Hm… I thought someone's here. Oh well. Pyon!"

Afterwards, Wanko sighed as she's safe behind the shadow near the door outside of the cafeteria.

Then she runs away from both shipgirls as both Asashimo and Uzuki are busy cleaning up the cafeteria while searching for Wanko.

Wanko got away.

Back to Uzuki and Asashimo, the duo are finished with cleaning up the kitchen and cafeteria as the duo are sitting back down on their benches.

"Not bad, rabbit. Kinda boring, but it's worth it." Asashimo sighed.

"Pyon! Oh! I remember, there's more at the food storage over there!" Uzuki points at the door as the sign says [food storage] written in Japanese, considering that this naval base is new to them.

"Great… More cleanup. God damn it, these first generation weirdos needed to pack their things if they wanted to leave this dump."

The duo entered the kitchen and Asashimo got her hands on the door handle as she and Uzuki entered the storeroom full of outdated food.

As the lights are turned on…

The storeroom is…

Empty.

"Eh? Did someone beat us to it or what?" Asashimo asks as she and Uzuki are surprised and confused about an empty storeroom.

"I don't know, pyon. Maybe someone's hungry?"

"Hungry, huh? I bet it's that abyssal! She better not get away this time!" Asashimo equips her [12.7cm twin gun mount model D kai 2] and [12.7cm twin gun mount model D kai 3] cannons, then scouts for the target inside this empty room.

Uzuki follows by equipping her [12cm single gun mount kai 2] cannon while doing the same thing as Asashimo.

Everything's quiet as both destroyers are slowly pointing away from each other as well as putting themselves on guard.

A snapping sound had caught Asashimo's attention as she witnessed a rigging that's into pieces as someone's been attacked or something.

She knew something's up in this storeroom, then slowly followed a noise ahead which too had caught Uzuki's curiosity.

"An abyssal?" Uzuki asked.

"Dunno, but someone's going to die here." Asashimo grinned as she's fully charged.

The duo then speeds up as they're walking towards the sound…

But…

They found something.

But it's not Wanko, unfortunately.

The duo gasped as they saw a woman with animal-like ears and a tail as well as having an eye patch. Her hair is white like most abyssals, but her skin is not even pale as it's too dark to be considered an abyssal.

"What the hell!?" Asashimo gasped.

"Huh? Who are you?" An unknown abyssal asked.

"A- Are you an abyssal?"

"And why the hell you ask?" A human dog-like abyssal asked as her claws are sliding each other by making a sound of scratching metal. "Battleships? No... Kanmusu? Ah… You're the ones who hold the candle to our enemies."

"Who the hell are you!? Where do you come from!?" Asashimo yells as she's blocking Uzuki from this unidentified woman as well as targeting this woman.

"An introduction? To those low lives? Whatever. I am the abyssal from the abyss, the first generation. Light cruiser Wolf class, Warg. I see humans are using other humans to kill us, but if that's the case, then come at me!" Warg summoned her rigging after introducing herself as a rigging appears to be a simple cannon with fangs.

"Rabbit, run! Report this to Ashigara-sensei!"

"But, Asashimo-san!" Uzuki can tell that Asashimo is doing something suicidal for her safety.

"Relax, this is an old model. I'm sure this old hag who looks like a middle aged hooker is dealing with an immortal who was forever a middle schooler like myself!" Asashimo laughed as she prepared to take on an old abyssal in the storeroom. "Whatever you do, find the Seaport Harbour Princess and kill her like you wanted, okay?"

After that, Uzuki finally understands as she's leaving Asashimo while worrying about a friend.

"Pyon!" Uzuki then left the room.

Finally, it's just Asashimo and Warg all alone.

"Now, old lady, ya ready to die!?"

"I beg to differ, it's you who should die!"

"Then sink!"

"Sink!"

In the end, Asashimo is facing an abyssal that was way before Dyson's era of the abyssal fleet.

There will be a lot of mess inside the storeroom due to the battle of immortals.

At the dormitory area.

Both Tatsuta and Ushio are strolling and checking up on many rooms to see if an enemy is around.

But there was none.

"Oh dear. Not an abyssal in sight. Any luck Ushio-chan?" Tatsuta called.

"Nothing. Sorry, Tatsuta-senpai." Ushio apologised after finding no one in sight.

"No need to apologise. I'm sure we'll capture the Seaport Harbour Princess sometime." Tatsuta pats Ushio's head to calm her down as a senior does to a junior.

Afterwards, the duo are walking downstairs together as they have no luck finding Wanko.

"Hey, Tatsuta-senpai?" Ushio called.

"Hm?"

"Why did we split up from each other? Why did we leave any of the naval bases?" Ushio is curious after the fiasco between the shipgirls and the higher ups.

"Haah… There's a reason, but maybe we should discuss this later. Right now, Wanko-chan is our main objective… And our perfect meal." Tatsuta then licks her lips out of bloodlust.

"W- Well, if you say so." Ushio is following behind as she's holding out her [12.7cm twin gun mount model A kai 3 (wartime modification) anti-aircraft fire director] cannon in order to self defence.

Tatsuta then releases her spear as she hears a banging noise.

"I bet it's her. Come on, Ushio-chan." Tatsuta's smile has widened as she's ready to paste herself in her enemy's blood.

"Okay!"

While the duo were following the sound, they then went to the arsenal as they witnessed a dusty cannon left by the door as it blocked something inside.

Tatsuta kicks the cannon away by allowing Ushio to slide the door open so they can enter the arsenal.

After entering there, they witnessed Asashio on her phone, researching the abyssal and their weapons in order to gain access to their weakness.

"Asashio-san!" Ushio called.

"Huh? Ushio-san, Tatsuta-senpai! Am I glad to see you girls!" Asashio gasped with excitement as she was free from

"I guess Wanko-chan is still on the run." Tatsuta asked.

"Unfortunately… Let's hope sensei and others caught up to the enemy. We can't let them get away with this!" Asashio growled while biting her thumb.

"Also, why don't you use your cannon to break out of this place?" Tatsuta sighed.

"Do you think it's worth damaging someone else's property?"

"No, Asashio-san." Ushio answered honestly.

"Exactly. Also, this base is not safe either. The abyssal fleet might be waiting to ambush us." Asashio is worried about what's going to happen in the future.

"Wait, what!?" Ushio exclaimed.

"Oh? More abyssals? Ufufu, this'll be fun." Tatsuta giggled as she readied her spear with a smile that's widening even more.

"I just said that they 'might' be waiting to ambush." Said Asashio.

"We need to find sensei before the Seaport Harbour Princess does!" Ushio exclaimed.

"Right. Tatsuta-senpai, if there's an enemy near, kill them." Asashio ordered.

"With pleasure. Their blood will come out once I kill them." Tatsuta sighed with allure, ready to massacre her enemies around her.

The trio then rushed towards the main building as they thought that Ashigara was in danger.

Or is she?

Earlier at the main corridor, dust was flying everywhere, considering how abandoned it obviously is.

Footsteps are the only sound that is made in this corridor.

Walking towards an empty office is the flagship and leader of this separated group, Ashigara.

Finally, she arrived.

"Is anyone home?" Ashigara called, knowing that a skeleton in an Admiral uniform was sitting on his office desk.

It didn't scare her, but it did surprise her that there's an Admiral in this Naval base and wears a different looking uniform.

Sighing as Ashigara investigates this empty office by opening drawers and cupboards as she checks out some paperworks.

Then, she found it, [Battleship Girl, the Classified Creation of Shipgirls, the Personification of Pacific Warships.]

"What is that?" Ashigara mumbled while looking into the documents.

The documents show the design of a vessel of a human girl and using the old warship parts to create a rigging. After that she found out the design of the abyssals and their clues about their functionality, environment and their behaviours.

Old creations made in the late 2000s.

"Bingo!"

She finally found it.

"This is Ashigara speaking, I got the documents of the first generation kanmusu." Ashigara called through the speaker with a grin.

[Sensei! We found the abyssal, pyon!] Uzuki yelled behind the speaker.

"Did you get her?" Ashigara asked.

[No, but it was a scary dog-girl!]

"Scary dog-girl?"

And Uzuki's answer is...

[The first generation abyssal!]

"What!?" Ashigara gasped.

"Scary dog-girl, you say? You're describing Warg perfectly, small fry."

Afterwards, a creaking noise was heard at the Admiral's chair as it had caught Ashigara's attention.

Then Ashigara equips 3 of her [20.3cm (No.3) twin gun mount] cannons after summoning her rigging, while glaring at an empty chair where the Admiral's bones used to sit.

"Show yourself."

A woman with metal wings is squatting down on the head of the chair as she appears with long white hair and was also dressed too revealingly like Warg.

"What the hell!?"

"Ashigara, the second generation kanmusu from Japan. I welcome you to the abyssals' old enemies' base. Allow me to introduce myself. Destroyer Hawk and Devil class, Harpy. For such a small fry yourself, I'm impressed." Harpy sounded calm as her claws let go of the chair.

"Tch! I bet you're in cahoots with that monster, Dyson, is it true!?"

"Dyson? You mean this defective abyssal battleship? She was trying to toy with you girls, just so she could get her way of killing the current Teitoku and rule over mankind."

"Obviously, but this'll be her downfall in a few weeks along with the Airfield Princess!" Ashigara shouted

"You're underestimating your opponents. How about you sit back, relax and sink, would you?"

Then every cannon is pointing at each other as 3 are pointing at Harpy and a destroyer type cannon without a mouth is on Ashigara's forehead.

"As much as I love to stay here and fight. Do you have any last words to say?"

"Go to hell, abyssal. Join with those sad excuses of Teitoku." Ashigara answered bitterly.

"Good answer, human." Harpy then draws a smug smile on her face as she knows who the 2nd generation shipgirls are.

Finally,

BANG! All the cannons have fired which could possibly be death to both Ashigara and Harpy.
