Done in a motivation burst of a hour from a couple hundred words in a day! What will I do in my strange moment of clarity? Find out? Also, Check out the Omake and notes at the end of this chapter!

I was quiet, no. I was observing. I was trying to socialize. but something about me recently just didn't seem to agree with my current emotional state. Kiyomi was chatting cheerfully, Enko was discussing small talk about the weather and recent war stories i would rather not hear. Izumi was the quiet one. Yumako talked about my recent achievements and how much leisure i got compared to my other colleagues. Kiyomi was dressed in a shirt and skirt. the usual one i saw widely on destroyers, while the cruisers had designs closer to that of practical clothes.

"So, Enty-chan~. How's your mikoyans? Can they wipe out an entire carrier wing? What about laser guided bombs?" Amari asked. Ah, I forget about the destroyer. Did she forget about her studies again? The Fulcrums were Frontal aviation fighters, not deep strike strike fighters. Regardless. I prepared my response for her.

"Yes, they can wipe out a air wing in a way. They are superb air superiority fighters... And no, the original MiG-29As had poor air to ground performance. but the SMs and SMTs corrected that." I stated flatly. I still maintained an eye lock on the table.

"Well. Do you ever do anything in your spare time? Anything like training or PT? Maybe anything you like movies?" Kiyomi said with her usual energetic tone. I would have mistaken her for a Gridley if not for her hair.

"If i want to or i am ordered to." I replied, keeping my voice serene. "I will. Until then, no." That took Kiyomi back. and I noticed out the corner of my eye that Yumako had a concerned look on her face.

"Enterprise..." She said sadly. I was trying not to get angry, Surely she could understand why i didn't put time into anything that didn't benefit me in a noticeable way? What was the point if I could lob a bomb from beyond sight and assess the level of destruction inflicted? I was a Magical girl, so i would not be compatible with PT owning to my... nature.

"Mistress? What's gotten into you?" Vita asked with puzzlement and worry. "One minute you're bouncing and spinning on your feet. The next you're suddenly... being soft and quiet." Normally I would have told her to not say anything, However. Something still felt wrong here. so I froze my movement and tried to mentally reply.

"I... am not sure, Vita. Something is off but i can't discern as to why. You're disturbing my socialization."

"S...Sorry, Master. It's just... I noticed something changing about you." The Hammer knight was worried. That was quite different from her brash and tomboyish tone. Then why did it feel like my headache was returning?

"Do go on with your stories. I listen." I raised a hand and put it down as i motioned for any of them to continue talking. I began to remember the time I had been ordered to cohabit with my Sisters as Enko rubbed up against me. It felt warm and reminded me of the time I confessed what I felt about my close friend to them. I tried to categorize it as I heard Izumi telling us of what story she had in mind.

"So we turned around, figuring it was just a false target. But then guess what! We were proven wrong! When we set course. We saw torpedo trails in the water and barely evaded just in time!" Was that a Azur lane submarine? That reminded me, I had to ensure my ASW systems were all in working order later.

"The minute we began our attack maneuver. She fired upon us, but all it got was just one of us. who panicked and turned around. We had to evade and dodge more torpedoes in the water before we could roll off depth charges! Well. These are the early ones, wasn't it? But it must have took out a good deal of her machinery. Because she wasn't able to dive deeper and we heard what sounded like frantic depth changes. Then the silly cruiser ran into me and we nearly tangled ourselves up there! The only thing we could do then was to call in for carrier support to ensure she wasn't going anywhere. And all we succeeded in doing was just her waiting it out! Well, That got tense. And then we simply rounded each other trying to see who got the drop. But we were still suppressing her! When our group was safe, We got out and left before a enemy surface fleet found us. And it looked like she got bombed out but escaped. Poor girl had her tower blown off. i bet!"

I tried to take in all of this information as this sounded like a Type VII or possibly a Fleet submarine. "Well. All we lost was just in the form of a injured comrade. Bloody awful. that, But that is how it rolls with submarines being engaged by escorts. Someone was amazed we didn't take any losses. and we were glad to be so."

"You survived against a Ironblood submarine?" Yumako asked. her eyes shining.

Izumi smiled. "Yes, Dear. we got out with nothing more than just one shipgirl hurt." At this moment. Enko shifted in her seat as she asked me to make room to which i complied. shifting my legs and body so she could get out and head for a drink. As the girl returned, Izumi resumed talking. Amari tried to ask me something, but i insisted that i just wanted to watch.

"Uhhh, Don't you have your own story? I am interested in hearing it." Amari wondered as I simply shook my head.

"If i told you now, it would be pointless. and annoying. I find stories from you much more... enjoyable than me trying to explain it." I said softly as Amari pouted. but relented as Izumi asked me to try anyway at some later date. It changed to her chatting about one of the Royal Navy carriers and how she managed to get out from the result of being swarmed by a major aerial attack.

"Enty. What was it like? Being in the Eagle union?" I froze up as I didn't consider that before, Trying to remember. I spoke softly as I kept my expression soft and neutral for now. I didn't need to use force to emphasize the point in my words.

"For the most part I suppose it was actually normal. assuming you had money or you weren't in the working class as a embarrassed millionaire. of course, It was a country that in a way. is divided and yet, is unified by a common cause. You would have the texans bickering over state control in favour of their failed free market politics. only to wonder why they were running out of workers or they were the highest in diseases and aliments. Infrastructure was crumbling, of course. But if you were rich you also had many illicit pleasures to indulge yourself to."

"Tell me more. Enty, I want to hear what it was back then when you were serving there?" Amari continued, I sighed and steeled my nerves as I tried to not interrupt Izumi.

"Well, Outside of the implied threats and pressure it was alright. There were moments of... bad leadership or seniors berating the privates and creative 'accounting' to hide understaffed numbers. but that is to be expected for such a massive military that can't possibly afford to handle corruption. not when it is embedded into Congress. not even the Canadians are a exception, I remember my sisters..." I tried to find the meaning for it... "...Being kind to me, I don't understand why they didn't come with me but... Saratoga.. Saratoga was very annoying to put up with, and more than often I would scream at her to get out."

"What happened with you and Sara...chan?" The destroyer asked. I continued my story.

"Saratoga would often annoy me or outright disturb me when I was talking with Reinforce Eins or Vita. I quickly got suspicious of her and from that point on. I refused to perform at full capability or dare show my powers when she was around. I don't know if she got the message of not. but judging from how she started avoiding me, She must have gotten it." I paused. deciding to change topics a bit. "You know, speaking of which. I should tell you what the United states of America is like at another time. and preferably not here."

"That's fair." Amari nodded before going back to her cute smile. What was the point when someone else would just yell at you or attack you just for smiling at their sons? "You know what? Enty-chan, I think you should fight more. Build up your image so you have more supporters and... fans like us who back you! Besides, If something happens to you from our higher ups. we won't take it lying down!" She giggled at the end too.

"..." Being taken back a bit. I tried to understand what she meant before nodding. "I suppose. If i feel I want to, Of i am ordered to. But I am just a single magical girl, not a entire team. I can't risk myself. Besides, I am not sure you understand the power discrepancy between you and me. I am a magical girl and I can do many miracles, You. however are not and... I am not exactly sure how effective popular resistance would be here." I stated as Amari wrapped a hand around my neck and tried to reassure me.

"Oh come on, Even Magical girls need someone to support them. Be it by friendship or teamwork! You've a carrier, remember that? We fight together. not alone. and even if i can't compare to you. I can still show magikarp power if we can act as force multiplers for each other! Speaking of which, You really should take part in more fleet operations!" I noticed Yumako was listening quietly and nodded to Amari. and to which I did so to her respectfully. I was a carrier, I knew that. But I was a sword-wielding magical girl. not a Bombardment one like Madoka or Nanoha.

Still, that gave more questions. If i was capable of learning anything, Why wouldn't i be able to learn these as well? There was no limits to me other than just time and the effort required to do so. So what was wrong with that? In fact, It sparked a memory inside me.

I felt my headache returning as I knew something. I had Flame eyes, that was for sure. but that didn't mean I wasn't capable of ranged attacks! My attack on Kaga proved that. That was for sure, Besides. That didn't take into factor transforming weapons or simply altering the spell in question to make it compatible. I hissed as it began to grow into thumping on my head.

"E-Enty?" Amari asked. "W-What's wrong? Why are you holding your head all of a sudden?"

"I... I am not sure..." I felt my headache growing as a memory came to the surface and I began to review USN operational procedures for a DDG. My expression turned into a full blown wince as it felt like I had two faces, each of these battling for control. "Aaugh...Gahgh..." I grunted as i began to pant. I heard Reinforce Eins and Vita asking each other what was going on with me, but In my pain. I wasn't able to focus on anything else... Who was that friend? Why did Ontario and Beijing look familiar to me? Why was I sad at having to run away from Yorktown or hornet? What was with that angry look on Akagi and Kaga's faces? Why.. of all else did i have fourth generation jet fighters instead of my historical loadout?

"Aggh...AAauuguuhhhhhhhh...!" I grabbed my head and held back a scream of pain. I felt Amari holding me upright and telling me what was wrong as I became deaf to the outside world... "Mistress...What's wrong...!" Reinforce hastily asked me as I felt another stab on my entire body. Why was this happening? I wasn't consuming anything hazardous or had took severe damage... Why now? I tried to recall anything that caused this...

I only let out a whimper of pain as my own memories came crashing through, I was not the Master Program who had self-destructed to stop a rogue defense program from regenerating. I was not the Knight who had been killed by that same defense program only to resurrect later. Neither was I the woman who grieved for her sisters and only ate. slept and drank to fight, I was the boy who had been raised by a loving father who i hated only to realize what i had done later. and a two-sided other parent. I was not the Little Enterprise version created by a laser damaging a Memory cube:I was the shota/loli wannabe and anime fan who was in a close online relationship with someone. I was not the CVN-65 carrier who had blown her topside up with a weapons system malfunction. I was... Okay, Maybe MiG-29SMT-Ks did count. Regardless. I was not Enterprise. I was Little Enterprise, Second name I chose for myself Karina Ayaka. and the Master and controller of the Book of Darkness in its program form and a Wolkenritter. Born from the seas a Genuine Magical Girl and a writer of transformation and genderswaps before moving up to bigger scales.

I only found myself whimpering on the table face-down as I heard the group either asking me what was wrong or trying to help me to sit upright. "Enterprise. What happened!" Yumako cried while Reinforce and Vita screamed into my mind. "Mistress! Are you okay?" "Mistress! You've... But how!?".

"I don't know...!... Augh... We were talking and... Gaauugghhhh!" I tried only for my headache to scream into the deepest depths of my pain sensations. What was going on? I felt someone passing me a glass of water to which I did, only for my headache to keep thumping. hopefully it got better son, Then I felt it was too much for me. "A-Ama! J, Just take me to my room! It hurts too much! It hurts! Uaaeee!"

"R-Right!" I felt Amari grabbing me and hoisting me up into a carry and It was in this moment I was thankful I was Loli enterprise. not normal Enterprise. otherwise the size difference would have been awkward. "Kiyomi! Enko! Can you come with me? She's suffering from a migraine of some kind!" I heard affirmatives as I was carried back, I don't know how long it took. only that I just wanted it to stop.

"R-Rein?" I asked into my mindscape. A surprised Reinforce heard and called back. "M-Mistress?"

"W-What happened? One moment It felt like I was sort of in a calm, The next I... I am suffering and seizing up..."

"Mistress, I don't know what happened. Before your headache. You were behaving far more quiet and calculating than you usually are. Enterprise, Then you began to suffer from a major headache that eventually turned into a migraine."

"Ahh...Wow...R-Rein, Can we learn a few spells? Like Fireball and a Flame elemental version of my barrier?" Reinforce seemed a bit upset at this judging from the feeling I was getting.

"Mistress, Forgive me but. given your current state, Should we postpone it first? It's not good to push yourself while your body is going though what i can only surmise to be a side effect of magic over-usage right now."

"F-Fine, Tomorrow. How's... How's Vita?"

"She's healthy and awake. She's worried about you and will not stop bothering me."

"G-Good." I let out a held-up breath of relief mentally as I heard my room's door being opened. I was laid down onto my bed as I heard the sink being operated and Amari quickly going into the corner of my vision with a wet cloth. I nodded and mumbled a thanks before she put it on my head as I pressed it down. the headache slowly but surely going away.

"E-Enterprise, Are you okay now? Is it better now?" Amari asked as Yumako and Enko looked at me with concern and fear I might suddenly disappear right in front of them.

"Y-Yes. I am o-ok." I whimpered as Enko decided to ask me a few things first.

"What happened back there? Enterprise? You were behaving remarkably different from who you were during that battle. You didn't even show your usual brash tone. The next. You nearly dropped from that headache. What caused it? Can you recall anything that could have contributed?"

"W-When I walked out of a meeting and briefing with Observer Alpha. I was feeling... different for some reason, It felt like I was in a sort of.. dreamlike state and... I couldn't get angry or excited at all. Just calm. My partners asked me if something was wrong but, I told them to dismiss it. I was like that until I met you and... I can't describe it. Only that it's like battleship shells." I replied, still panting but calming down as I kept the cloth on my head to mitigate my pain.

"That shouldn't happen, I know you're sometimes a bit mopey and unhappy but, I don't see what that could have to do with another personality of something like that!" Yumako muttered as I shook my head.

"N-No, It was something. something like magic over-consumption from what Reinforce told me, I think i pushed my body too far but... This hasn't happened before when I did similar things. I don't know what's going on either..." Yumako continued on, worried.

"Will you be okay? I don't think you should push yourself any further for now..." I smiled gently at Yumako and let out a chuckle as I tried to nod.

"Y-Yes... I will be... I be okay with rest and water..." I waved as I decided to tell them one more thing. "By the way, Can you come over when I show you my transformation? I-I am sure you might be fascinated at getting me to see me do my tricks... heh.."

"I.. I will! Just don't push yourself. It's for your sake!" I silently gave her a gesture of agreement and indicated to them it would be fine to leave as I hugged a pillow, trying to wonder what had just happened minutes ago. What was going on? Why did it feel like I was a Kuudere back there? How could something like magic over-consumption amplify a personality trait of mine? And what might be the possibility the Original enterprise could still linger in me. given Code G's identical appearance to her? I had to ponder on these later.

Silently, I hoped to myself I wouldn't have to take part in a mission that had Yorktown or Lexington involved...

End Chapter Report

Severe pain means Little Enterprise's focus level has dropped considerably.

Little Enterprise's Affinity has increased toward the Chapter 3 squadron. They are still available for recruitment with sufficient fame and renown.

Various New Spells are available to learn. Diversify these skills!

Amari and the others are no longer just generic background characters and have upgraded to crew members relevance.

The APAR radar set is still malfunctioning.

Unlocked the option to do some basic special effects showoffs for several girls at once.

I am pleased to say this is at 1845 views currently! Granted. It feels low but hey, This is groundbreaking. not a mainline fluff or some random shikikanx1337 shipigirls. Magical girls weren't also done before either! Tricolore of the stars has 4145. although that's because i started earlier so it had more time to entrench itself and the story is by far more conventional with a sort of choose-your-own pathing element to it. Weirdly enough, noone has bothered me to influence my path with the reviews!

Next chapter will come out in a few days assuming i don't have to slow down for that Javelin x Yuudachi request fic or something doesn't happen to me. Check out this omake of me nearly destroying a SR-71 as seen from The Blackbird and other teleport-to-give-azur-lane-advantage fics!

Omake:Uniwar. The Lost Civilization

As IFF pulses disappeared from my battlespace map and I watched the damned sight of enemy SBDs and D3As pecking at the friendly fleet. chased by battlecruisers despite my attempt to support them with real-time AEW/C information and constant updates. I watched that damned blackbird fly.

The damned thing should not be in service right now, That I knew for sure. It was retired due to its vulnerability to the emerging S-300 and MiG-31 type threats with resistance to EW suite self-protection jamming and increasing danger. thus forcing the border recon instead of going right into Moscow. In addition, later on it was also under constant monitoring once it was reported airborne. and LO technologies were still immature at the time.

Thinking about my options and cursing under my mouth, I noticed i had some F/A-18Fs and a few Su-35s floating around at altitude equipped with R-37Ms and R-33Es. I had left some of these in the event I faced a surprise attack (That looked impossible) or had to blunt a massive airstrike which warranted the cost on these precious anti-enabler tankers and AEW weapons.

Given the speed of the blackbird though, It was a problem i had to solve fast. Fortunately. afterburner ignition followed by a all-out climb and lofting for cruise all the way to dive now gave me a answer to that problem. Failing that, there was the option of the RIM-24 from headon.

"Whoever that SR-71 pilot and his copilot is... They must pay." I took control of a Su-35 fighter personally and began a uncontrollable climb for maximum lofting as Reinforce took over the mental strain of having to manage so many systems. the E-2 relaying my desires elsewhere while I gave the order for the Blackbird to be destroyed.

Powering up the Irbis-E RADAR and redirecting the E-2 to begin datalinking. I acquired the target. "Fire a missile at them..." And just like that, The R-37M detached from the centerline station before firing its booster engine as it began its ascent. leaving behind a trail of exotic GN-like particles. a side effect of the enhanced fuels as a result of HEFs being made possible by my magitech.

Ironically that these same particles would now be used to inflict death rather than bring understanding. as the R-37M began flying up to unimaginable altitude but not overly so as it began to cruise. refusing to commence second stage ignition.. for now.

Overtaking... Multiple launched... This wasn't a interception, It was a real live-test.

Hypersonic... still lofted.. How ridiculous were these things? I noticed some EW emission from the SR-71 as i detected some form of speedup, but that didn't matter when even a rear missile was still coming in too fast and was losing too little speed to matter.

The R-37M flew aimlessly until it received a datalink correction, to which it did so. trying to correct as best as it could under these conditions. That way, the FCS could be separate from the missile itself until it was too late. and given the rarity of MAWs during that time... The battery powered on as the seeker went active, acquiring the Blackbird and resisting any attempts to stop it with its onboard processors and advance in seeker technology.

One malfunction... and several detonations. Soon enough, I saw the direct speed measurement declining in numbers as I analyzed the altitude readouts changing. soon enough, I could hear radio calls for help.

"Mayday! Mayday! We're hit, hit by an Foxhound missile. going down. coordinates. Grid. Blackbird uncontrollable, i repeat-"
