Author here, You may have noticed that this was originally intended to be a oneshot, Well. due to simply being so bored, i am deciding to expand this oneshot out into its own series!
Warning for some mentions of Ideology and trying to get used to being Abercrombie. Missiles and Fighter jets plus bombers mentioned.
Awaaaa...
I whimper softly as i try to go back to sleep and reach out for my phone, I hated the morning alarm because i had a strange pattern of being sleepy at morning, only to get energetic late in the day.
Even worse, I was not used to the Idea of being suddenly put into a totally different body. The specifications were different from what i expected and having three sets of memories collided together really HURTS my mind.
And to add to it, I ended up being in Abercrombie's body. Why? Because apparently i considered being a Alaska-class battlecruiser once but the shipgirls weren't in the game, so of all thing i had to end up as Abercrombie as a... modified Alaska-class. complete with missiles and a few guided shells tossed in for my amusement.
Although, on the other hand...
"Another day of experimenting with missiles..." You heard that correctly, My creations from the ideas inside my mind and me being a fan of Nanoha lyrical and in general magical girls, and Magitech and Neptunia had decided to follow me here. That was how i had my ability to summon a energy version of a Carrier's hull complete with flight deck, And how i had my Gripens and Skyhawks and Prowlers.
Do i like it?
Well... It was mixed, The powers and the thrill of hovering on the water? Oh yes. And i was never concerned by the fears in the eyes of other shipgirls as i flew and took magic-assisted jumps.
But...
Having to teach yourself everything as a Magical girl while you were already going crazy from trying to manage your Semi-modern weapons and trying to adjust as a shipgirl? The fact Education was here on top of classes which i only took because of my general curiosity toward WW2 weapons? I Hated it, especially if it didn't get me excited.
Yep, was such the life as a Magical Shipgirl.
Maybe i should just order my fighters to fire some Anti-concrete rockets, when there was nobody within the complex of course. I didn't want to get hit with firing on friendlies and building destruction, thank you very much.
{How Pecuilar}
Well, that was something new. My other personality had to just follow me too now having formed as seemingly a side effect of being a Magical girl and offered to carry out what i was thinking, No. I was not entirely serious with doing that right now. I didn't want to have Auntie Hood of the Grey Ghost on me if they both found who had did that.
Still, It turned out that someone was actually something. A simple pink wand with a gold tip and a design with... I was too sleepy right now, But i knew that there was a silver-colored star with six smaller stars and a gold star-shaped design and more details i was too sleepy to bother with right now.
{You have your Willpower, use it}
Oh wow, a personality with a bit of my talkative nature. I had to get used to that.
Well... maybe i should consider practicing... If it wasnt for the fact the other girls were starting to become active.
I heard knocking before Charles Ausburne's voice rung out. "Oh, what now!?"
"Hey! Its time to wake up! Can't serve justice if you are sleeping after all!" Of course, Charles's going on and on about justice was no exception when it came to me and was quite the reminder that annoyed me.
Maybe a beam of doom straight to the door would tell the destroyer i was not entirely happy with being forced awake.
{Master, Unless you want to sleep in full view of everyone tonight. I advise you not to do it}
Augh.
One thing being a strange battlecruiser ex-monitor, Former conservapedia reader and tankie, Wartime shock propaganda-doubter who relies on science numbers and values and book research and now currently tired socialist of social democrat-who-doesnt-care-about-ideologies-and-just-wants-a-RBE was that I spent most of my time dealing with new aircraft since i had stowed my Gripens and Skyhawks and Prowlers into reserve to make room for my much older replacements, Keeping them as Aces in the hole. Most of the time, I was just training carriers in dissimilar conditions with my Jets to simulate the threat of emerging high-performance fighters and dive bombers. I wasn't upset though, As this same training was what also allowed me to learn how to fight manueverable low-speed targets. Moreover, to some extent it could fit the 'Shounen' of 'Magical Girl Idol Sara-chan' theme. It also served as a way for me to demonstrate my enhanced equipment and a small fraction of my true powers and thus Supremacy of modern weapons. especially my LGBs and AIM-9Ls and Archers.
And that meant.. That combined with what the actual Abercrombie did was a very quiet breakfast, Quiet enough that i risked myself and asked noone for some basic spells despite knowing my mind would be flooded with a list of basic skills by the end of that.
{As you wish, Abercrombie} My... personality... 'Zwei' replied with a little bit too much glee in its dark-sounding Abercrombie voice.
No, don't ask me how of why i am using a nickname right now, I just needed to separate... 'her' from myself, Ready for me to call it out. But what did i know that i was about to have the pain in my belly made worse.
Which it would, And i decided i needed to vent some of my magical energies off before i got ready.
"Abercrombie..."
Huh, did someone just poke my cheek?
"Abercrombie, Do you hear me? Geez..."
Okay. Someone did poke me while i was busy absorbing the flood of knowledge about the basics of enhancing technology with magic.
"A-ah, Sorry Southampthon. I zoned out."
"Honestly, It is about Formidable?"
"Um... Southampton, Why does it have anything to do with Formidable?"
I had to wonder about it a little before my memories kicked in. Right, I remembered calling Formidable a bunch of names as lumbering and this resulted in some training... One which ended with the carrier being whipped by me due to simply how dangerous my combined abilities were even if i wasn't using most of my jets.
Argh, Even when pulverized she still was defiant to such a extent that it puzzled me.
The blonde haired girl looked with some amusement. "Honestly, Abercrombie really thinks a lot about Formidable don't you?"
I blinked.. It was supposed to be the correct reaction for this right?
"Well... Something like that?" I replied with a quiet sigh before i turned my attention back to myself. 'That's strange.. Why didn't my sixth sense detect Southampton approaching?'
I guess being sleepy was still really bad for any psychic powers i may have... I should just keep that in mind later.
Fortunately, Southampton didn't press me and switched the conversation to small talks about Tea, being a knight and blabbering about maids. Not that i was bothered very much. as long as it didn't turn into talk about battleships of course.
Damn, I kinda miss my NEET carefree days.
And Formidable? yeah, she was still brooding even after the training session though i could no longer bring myself to get angry at her anymore.
Nonetheless, I did idly wonder if i could mentally dig up her secrets, She did try to hit me (which was intercepted by my fast reaction) after we both concluded training.
'Hey... Zwei.'
{Yes?}
'How do you rank my magical strength?'
{With training, You might be strong enough to shatter whole battlefleets. A-rank? But now? I}
'I? I what?'
{I, For Idiot}
'What in the...'
Huh, on second thought. Trying to fight both Hood and Wales wouldn't be worth it. Still, playing the silent card and pretending to ignore them was easier.
Finally! Some free time and some freedom to slack off when i can.
Seriously. Outside when i wasn't pulverizing carriers of escort ships of smashing cruisers with missiles of getting inspected by Akashi for any clues of how i gained my abilities in the first place. It was hard for me to sneak off and do something secret, It really put a lot of delay for me to try out {The Light of My Magical Girl's Spirit}.
Fortunately, There were less shipgirls than usual for morning.
Though getting woken up early by a Eagle union destroyer was irking me a little. I was still not a morning person but i liked sleeping a lot.
I held my right hand out and shouted a familiar phrase. "Go! The Inner spirit of my powers!"
Whoa... Gotta say the transformation was long but at the same time instantaneous.
I could feel my clothes changing and being stored piece by piece, My armor took its place and formed itself into my own combination magical girl costume/gallery skin while my summonable weapon also fully powered up.
Then, This first thing i noticed after the transformation was my personal weapon. I was half expecting it to turn into a gun-based weapon, But it appeared it kept its usual shape and would still be used for hitting nearby shipgirls of firing energy blasts If i put in the effort.
As for my outfit? It looked like it came out of Cardcaptor Sakura of Lyrical nanoha, And i liked it enough for me to stop fretting over the armored red bracers and spats that came with this package.
"Ahahahahaha... I am looking forward to this! Hahaha!"
Struggling to not let the dark part of me out, I simply laughed with enthusiasm.
And so the Oneshot begins to expand out as I sit around! There might be more sooner If I end up really idling!
My magical girl costume probably looks like Sakura from Clear Card. I would have included a link but document is not being cooperative with me
