Start:Secret Ambitions
Mune ni Yadoru Atsuki suisei
The symbol of CV-6 Enterprise as Little Enterprise stands in the void. The screen pans and she rotates around to open her eyes as she says something.
Wa Hajimari no Kodou he (We see someone new. Des Moines with hair ribbons as she clenches her hand. The camera zooms out to reveal her standing on concrete as the background is a glimpse of the Siren base.)
Drums play as the title screen is revealed. The base is a huge and exaggerated urban fortified city with roads and numerous AAA guns and coastal turreted artillery against the clear blue sky. A gold star appears on-screen to form the font of the opening.

Everything becomes bright, before it cuts to burst photos of Enterprise. Amazon and Des Moines.
Fureru Yubi Nigirishimete Shizuka ni
Alana holds a gem. before she spins around to instantly change into a costume as she holds a Claymore. in the background. Little Enterprise is seen in her dress with a happy expression and her signature Lightning bolt hairpin. 'MG 01 Grey Ghost with FLAME EYES'
'MG 04 Alana with ANDURIL'
Negai wo Kometa
A shipgirl looks at the camera as the background has changed to Transformed Enterprise. She spins around and changes into her what we can presume to be her transformation costume. as she practically cosplays Mami tomoe and even strikes a pose with two pistols. She likely comes from the assembled squadron in Enterprise's mission to hunt down Akagi and Kaga.
'MG 05 Omitted with XM-P STAR PISTOL'
Uzukumatte Nigerarenai Kako kara tobidashitai Yo
Another shipgirl from the same squadron. She resembles one of the Symphogears as her main weapon seems to be in the form of being a classical mage. Des Moines is shown with her pink hair and the Canadian maple leaf symbol.
'MG 02 Last of the heavy cruisers with BARDICHE ZANBER FORM'
'MG 06 Omitted. CLASSIC MAGE'
Amazon is shown as she has a smirk before too spinning around to reveal her transformation costume. which is identical to Souji Mitsuka's. Des Moines is also shown transformed.
'MG 03 Amazon with ILLUMINA'
Tatoe Kiesou Na Wazuka Na hikari Datte
Shows Observer Alpha sitting at a desk. Someone walks up to her desk and looks at her. Observer smiles.
Azur Lane is shown. The starters inspecting casualties from one of Des Moines's daring raids. The Yorktown sisters and Vestal looking out a window. perhaps waiting for Enterprise to return. Z23 spinning around in her chair to face the camera with glasses.
Oikaketai Ano Hoshi no you ni
Vita is shown along with Iris and a white-haired woman. Both Little Enterprise. Des Moines and Amazon hold their hands out before they yell something. We can't hear what they are saying.
Subete ukeire Sou Dokomademo Takaku
A bright orange. gold and blue aura of some sort surrounds a wide area around the three as sparkles and shining stars are spread out from all angles. The trio twirling and posing like more traditional magical gril shows when they were casting a spell as they lose their clothes. only to instantly gain their transformation outfits and weapons when Sailor moon would have took longer.
Red light strobes appear in front of the 3 like runway lights at the dawn sunrise as searchlights are seen in the background. Observer alpha shouts and gestures along with a huge siren fleet as the three accelerate into the strobes. leaving behind feathers of magic.
Ginga wo mau Tenshi no Sasayaki
The three along with Alana and MG 05 stand their ground in the water as they face down something. Which turns out to be Anchorage as she fires her guns. causing the five to jump and take to the sky as MG-05 fires her Star pistol. Bolts of green energy racing toward its target as Alana casts and erupts a huge jet of flames from her hands.
Tashika Na Kioku Wo Tadotte
Amazon and Des Moines fall from the sky as Des Moines slams her sword's arcane blade into the water. causing a field of lightning to appear as Anchorage's superstructure explodes into black smoke. From the smoke. Amazon hovers and skates above the water like a ice rink as Anchorage activates hexagon-shaped shields and Amazon holds two Sealing amulets like cards before she discards them and holds her sword above her head before striking with all of her might. effortlessly slicing though the shield as Anchorage's magazines are cut. causing her to explode.
Donna Tsumetai Kurayami Ni Shibarareteitemo
Enterprise holds Madoka's bow and Bardiche Zanber as she shouts. skewering her own rigging as two wings manifest behind her. We are shown the symbols of the USN. RN and UN as it cuts to the city of Ontario.
Boku Wa Shiritai Kara Kesshite Tomaranai
As Enterprise. Amazon and Des Moines face off against all of the Eagle Union carriers. From Essex to Saratoga and even Shinano. Des Moines swings Bardiche to fire off a huge wave of gold Arcane energy. Enterprise throws two Magic boomerangs and Amazon executes Excalibur. In between all of this Enterprise's face is shown in flashes as her eyes remain closed.
Des Moines wave of energy is followed behind by Enterprise's boomerangs and Amazon's huge beam of energy with hundreds of exploding aircraft. Enterprise's face is fully shown as she opens her eyes. revealing them to be glowing yellow and red heterochromically.
As the song draws to a close and the drums increase. It cuts to a memory cube surrounded by two rotating Magic circles. One based on a technomagic circle and the other Nanoha's. The figures of Alana. MG-05 and MG-06 appear along with Observer alpha in the void.
Cuts to a picture of Enterprise in her younger days along with Little Hornet and Yorktown. Then Amazon. Little Enterprise and Des Moines all posing for the camera. Then the three of them with some generic Magical girl Kansens.
Cuts back to Vita and Iris's figures fading away into the cube followed by Amazon and Des Moine's and Little Enterprise's figures. their eyes closed.
Cuts to Enterprise's gloved hand. Flame eyes and Bardiche in-sync with the music.

Yes. This was made for the Co-op parallel story with Vita as the main partner and a few friends for a co-op experience.
Also I was to be USS Gearing. So if you want to, Pretend Enterprise is Gearing!
Update as of 8/31/2021:VERY Minor word correcting
"...Oh... what..." She whispered. "Enterprise's. . . crying?"
'N-No..' I thought bitterly through my tears. 'It.. It's not enterprise, Enterprise's not crying. I'm crying. I am not Little Enterprise... I am... I am...Who am i. . . i... just like how Vita or Nanoha shouldn't be here in Azur lane...' My sobbing and crying begin to intensify as i realized that i was quoting Rei's internal monologue along with some of Code G's and my own. My eyes were clenched tightly and i heard walking on the floor tiles as Vita kept me there trying to calm me down. First, it got distant only for it to come closer. I heard frantic talking.
"...-na! Come her-... Quick! There's something wrong with Enterprise! I don't know who of what exactly set her off. But she's crying really hard and 'Vita' is... You do that." I heard something but i didn't care as a presence suddenly was close to me. Acting on memory, I held on also and kept crying like a lost girl. "Easy, there." She patted my back. Vita not minding someone was trying to steal her place. "Everything will be all right, Noone's here to hurt you." I was beginning to relax. I raised my head to look up and stared with scared and tear-stained eyes.
"T..Thank you...Iris...Vita..." I said, I tried to wipe away my tears. I was still crying and distressed, but i wasn't having high-pitched sobs anymore. It's amazing what just being around with a Kansen does for a carrier. I was wondering if this was out of her kindness or because Iris was concerned for me. Just then, another one arrived.
It was the same superior from my assignment to eliminate Kaga and Akagi as she charged in like a angry battleship looking out for the destroyers and looked frantically about, Her jacket flowed in the breeze. She spotted us, rushed right over and put me. Iris and Vita into a hug, She held us like that for a while. murmuring soothing nonsense. I started to feel safe and i weakly smiled.
"So, Little Enterprise." The superior said gently. "Do you want to talk about it?" I pondered for a moment and gently broke the embrace, Vita sitting there and got to my feet with their help.
"N..Not all of it," I said softly. she nodded and I could tell she wanted me to go on. "The first part of it is... I.. I..." I sniffled a little. 'S..Sometimes, I just like to call myself Karina. Kari." I felt my confidence building as Iris frowned slightly. It may not have been the name i had answered to for a very long time, But it was done with the help of a name generator and noone else's. "I... like i said before. Enterprise, The Grey ghost and... as a Magical girl. Flame Enterprise." I tacked on the most polite introductory phrase as i decided to follow up. "By the way, I don't remember asking you your name."
"Well, Then!" The superior said. "I suppose I shouldn't have forget. I am Alana Ayuri."
As Vita and I took in the new information, I began to move elsewhere with Vita shortly following behind. I silently told her to not say anything. "Do you mind if i get out of this... bath spot first? I find it difficult to talk about that as it stands." Alana waved me on, and i grabbed a towel and started drying myself. "And to answer the question. Alana..." I was glad my memory had a strong spot for notable events, If i still had it right. "...I don't see the point to remembering something so... bad like it, But when I was with Azur lane. They were all over me to get their hands on my technology, who i jealousy guarded even if it meant pressure and... enhanced coercion." I reached my destination as I began putting on my official outfit.
"I remember Yorktown and Hornet-chan being kind, And the commander himself who a few like Akagi for lack of a better word... were all over him... was a good man, but in this case the bad won out. I was under pressure and more than often i would be subjected to testing and maybe, sometimes even outright threats to show how my abilities worked of how I even ended up as some strange hybrid of myself and my later supercarrier sole class. It was so stressing.." I paused, and a sob came out. If only I had my friends... just one, even one to answer my questions.
"I came to the conclusion that... to them, I was good for public relations on the outside. being experimented on within the inside as a black project. That's when i made the decision, I fled and ran away." I was glad i was still emotional from me having just freaked out. I whispered quietly. "If it wasn't for it, I would have been disappeared by now. Just like what's happening with the name I would rather not say if i can other than... West Taiwan with their treatments of minorities in the idea of single supremacy." I looked at the floor. "And that's when you all found me. Instead of looking like the Big E who struck fear into enemies... I was just a scared and ragged girl on the run from something that was willing to resort to violence or threats to force me to do what they wanted."
Alana's face was tracked somewhat with tears, and I could see something in Iris's eyes. Even Vita seemed to have a regretful look, Enemy of not. I still missed Yorktown and Saratoga. but it would be easier for the two former friends of mine to understand rather than come to terms within the shadiness of Black projects and their hidden budgets in the form of bloat or my true nature. I put on a brave face and continued.
"Anyway, I'm enjoying my leisure far more now than i used to." I said. "I even made some friends around here!" I beamed. my tears were starting to disappear, I reached out and wrapped my hands around Alana's belly. "I also got some wonderful colleagues of mine! Alana, We should talk more at some other time."
"I like that." Alana said but she frowned slightly. "But... Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut this short." she went on. "There's a assignment in 13 minutes and i have to be there." She stood and stretched. "Iris, Take care of Enterprise and watch over her for a bit. Why don't you go now with her?"
"After what happened in the bath, I am sure she could use some comfort and close friends are a good way to be sure." The blonde ear-protecting girl asked. I had trouble pinning down on who she sounded like, I smiled to myself. She really let down her exterior when she was confronted with a cute girl shorter than her who should be in school. Maybe she was starting to be influenced by my presence. Alana nodded as I silently called for Vita to dismiss herself. to which she did so as I followed her out of the baths. we began the inevitable course of hallways and navigation.
"So." I tried to make chitchat. "Iris, what likes do you have? Do you know about eagles?"
"Um, Well. Now that you asked, I have a soft spot for artillery and nature. And I know about eagles but, I am no expert when it comes to that one." I smirked a little. Thankfully enough I didn't have to deal with a eagle pecking at me and instead got a bunch of roommates stuck inside my head.
"Oh! Do you like science fiction or...or... Roguelites?"
"A bit, I know about Star wars mostly and the others... Somewhat." I noticed her blank. i sighed. "I do like anime and manga!" I replied back.
We walked on like that for a few minutes, talking about anything that had to do with what it was like back then in the Eagle union and her opinions about the world. or walking silently. I used to like Observer alpha as i simply found her cute, But when its a superior with a uncanny smile I found myself questioning that. Even though she was the same size as i was (Well. Subjectively). She gave off the 'understanding little girl' vibe. I soon took a look outside.
I nervously looked around, In the Enterprise part of me. I could see blood splatters and dead people piled like wooden logs from a Taranto or Yugoslavian campaign. I tried to not jump out of my skin from being surprised by a passing shipgirl who i didn't notice until the last second. My tension did not go unnoticed.
"What's the matter. Enterprise?" Iris asked, She set her hand on my shoulder. and i relaxed a little.
"I...don't want to tell." I said, i really didn't want to tell Iris why i was nervous all of a sudden. "I.. I still remember when Arizona was destroyed, or when Taranto was... well... You know." I shuddered. "It's irrational. I know, but i can still remember it like daylight. Its like some sort of... tomb..wreck." She squeezed my shoulder gently as we continued on.
I turned my attention inwards into my Wolkenritter roommate. 'Vita, Can you stay up for this day? I think i want to watch movies together with Iris.'
{"I can. I...Sorry, Mistress. I am having trouble remembering her name. I still haven't known her long enough!" I got back a feeling of blushing as I just gently tried to pat her on the head... in a phantom way.}
"Ah, Vita. I can't blame you. Just file it and keep it in mind for later."
{'A-Acknowledged.'}
An eternity of walking and me nearly stepping into people later. We arrived at a familiar room. This was my own room that I was left alone in with. Iris opened the door as we stepped inside and I turned around to face her. "Iris-chan! Won't you come in? Since you said you be taking care of me?" She giggled a bit and closed the door.
"Haha, I haven't forget. Enty-chan!" She smiled gently and wiped her head. I was going through my room again and examining everything. It was the familiar one-bed suite that felt familiar to me, seeing as it was a very close design to what I saw in urban centers and it was the perfect one for my behavior-Not too small like a cage home, but big enough to the point I had enough room for me to roam around. There was simple, inexpensive furniture and equipment. And in the corner of a room there was my computer setup and a messy bed. A thought came to me.
"Iris, can't i move in with you?" I asked, "I am just asking. by the way."
"Well. I don't have any space in my room for someone to live together with me." She said with her arms folded. "I am sure they won't make a reservation either for a bigger room." I quirked my head like a curious puppy. She thought even more. "Besides, You do have Vita and Reinforce to talk to. There's no way you could be alone given they are with you no matter what."
I stood silently for a moment. I hoped Iris was correct, Because while Reinforce of Vita were fun to talk to. I did want some new friends in the meanwhile, I couldn't have gotten to know my closer friends otherwise. After I took off my hat and placed it on a table. I decided it was now of neither. "Iris-chan, Can we watch a movie together?"
The blonde raised a eyebrow as she leaned back against a desk before getting up. "A-A Movie? Well, Since I have to take care of you... What movie do you want to see?" I already had something in mind as she replied back. It might not be action or anime. But I used to watch it and it still had a special vibe.
"Journey two. the.. The mysterious Island!" I bubbled. Iris tried to remember anything like that before she stopped leaning as she looked at me with a sheepish expression. Personally, I hoped she could at least be quick about it. Given how impatient I sometimes would get as Little enterprise... "E-Euh, I.. I ask around and see if there's one of them. Okay? Give me several minutes." She walked out as ultimately I was left alone with Vita, who took her time to manifest on my bed at some point in her casual clothes version. At least ten minutes later. Iris rushed back in with a DVD and a movie player. Then a few minutes later, I laid down in bed along with Iris and vita as I pressed play.
"Play on!" I proclaimed as the movie began to play. A slight hum rose as i was introduced to the opening sequence. I rested my head against the pillow to watch and listen as I just let the story wash over me like a soothing music bath. I could feel the tension of the day slip away through the next adventure. And then into the satellite scene. I almost didn't notice as Vita shifted, I did however. notice when she was staring at me. She watched me for a moment and then closed her eyes and listened. We sat a while in quiet companionship. Until she turned to face me again.
"Mistress Enterprise?" She said.
"Yes, Vita-chan?"
"This is... ah..." Vita fidgeted as she tried to come up with something.
Smiling, I held her hand together as i smiled happily and cutely. "Don't say it, Vita-chan. It feels different with you and Iris-chan." She didn't respond, but i didn't feel the need to. Her reaction was good enough for me.
"Enterprise-chan. You both look cute like that." That had gotten Vita into being flustered as she had her cheeks flustered red. "I-I am not!" I felt some kinship toward Iris and I considered also hugging her. But I didn't feel confident enough even If I felt more comfortable and safer with her, I didn't admit it. But she would be more of a comforting close friend to me rather than someone like Atago of Friedrich who would scare me away. Even if all people cared about were chest size of had hidden mommy issues nowadays (Ironic, I thought that. how they loved young boys but then proceeded to hate lolis).
I imagined being with her, kissing her softly outside in the moonlight in a nice place away from everyone... But I squashed it as I didn't want to say a word.
Giggling softly. I slid off quietly into rest as I slept peacefully. the treehouse sequence relaxing me better than any video on the internet ever could.
