Author's note: Thank you so much for reading my work. I really appreciate it. As of currently there are 2 follows and favorites while 10 reads. I am really you Helioskrill2088 and ZiArtem for giving this fanfic a shot. This is my first on the site so it might be terrible. I really appreciate it if people review.
About the lore, I will refer to navies as such. Pre-Siren war will be referred to with its real life name. Example: Childhood-Kriegsmarine Current-Iron Blood. Next I think (not sure bout this one) is what I will do with Dragon Empery, Vichiya Dominion, and Iris Libre. I'm thinking about changing Dragon Empery but I'm too lazy. The french though, I might just make a fictional event where they were united again after the war. I'm gonna leave the axis navies as it is. Let's just say the navy wasn't part of the war treaty because of the battle against the siren. Next there will be tension between the navies due to the events of World War 2 and what not. In this particular chapter I am not bashing Belfast. I love her. She is also my second oath ship in AL. The motive behind her doing it is because she simply doesn't like Oliver. She will redeem herself in another time.
Review Corner:
Guest: He wasn't the one who framed him. It was Belfast. It isn't because she is a dick. It was because a solution to her problems showed up. It doesn't necessarily mean she will escape unscathed.
Without further ado, enjoy!
Chapter 2: The Journey Begins
"Nice to see you Oliver" said the stout man in an admiral uniform. "You look not so bad yourself Andrew" I replied with a smirk. "Seriously, you got recommended, that is not an easy feat. It will be a pleasure to work with you and also I assigned HMS Belfast as your secretary. There will be lots of paperwork to do chop-chop" he said getting the last laugh. I looked at him at a disdain.
I went to find my office to start work immediately. I hate paperwork. I entered to see a maid? Wait what. "Salutations, I am HMS Belfast however you can refer to me as Belfast." said said ship. ( hah redundant, imma leave that there). I took my seat and started signing papers. Good thing I was trained to do this at the academy. Seriously Andrew this is my first day. Might as well begin. Documents ranging from joint programs to alliances are in my desks. I mean this is my job as a diplomat/general.
Another's P.o.V
"Salutations, I am HMS Belfast however you can refer to me as Belfast." I greeted the man in front of me. The man I was looking at was decent looking. Eye bags that show lack of sleep. He was a bit on the fat side while remaining a decent build. If I needed one word to describe him it would be decent. His aura is not intimidating nor is it full of creepiness. It was decent to say at most. I don't think I will be enjoying my time with him to be honest. He doesn't seem to be a person who I would hang around.
I saw him immediately go to work. Isn't this his first day? At least he is hardworking. He was able to finish all the paperwork in the span of 4 hours. That is impressive. When he was done he turned to me and was about to ask something. It seems he wants to break the ice or so to speak. "So ughh, Do you have any hobbies?" he asked. "Sir, I would like to maintain professional work and asking about my hobbies is a bit too much." I told him. I really don't want to work with him. Let's keep contact to a minimum. He looked a bit degraded after my statement. I would admit I was quite rude but I do not want to associate myself with this man. He might affect me with habits that aren't good. I looked at the clock and checked the time. Finally my shift is over, I can leave this place as soon as possible. I then ran off faster than a destroyer.
Today, I seem to have worked up from a nightmare. He was controlling everyone. Probably some mind control. This can be it. I can say he was attempting rape. I went to find my colleagues to discuss the thought. Due to the lack of response, I was able to convince them. I mean most of them. I handed the queen the petition for her to acknowledge it. I exchanged it for a cup of tea. "Hmmm, I say Belfast can you make your famous tea?" she asked. Of course your majesty. By the way can you perhaps sign this" I told her while preparing tea. With some convincing she reluctantly agreed.
Today is it. He finally is going to get the boot. This is probably the greatest scheme I have pulled off. Or will I regret it?
Current time?! Present time ( yeah that's the word)
"Hey Gangut" I looked at her. "What do you want?" she said with poison in her voice. "I know you hate me but I want to try something. Maybe think of it as a hypothesis" I replied. I then started writing a plan. Why do the Russians have very few papers. More free time for me then. It contained some work-out exercises. I want to see if ships also improve similar to humans. I gave her the paper I made. "A whole month!? You is crazy. No way this will help me." she replied. "One month. If it doesn't work then I will switch secretaries." She seemed to have weighed the idea. "Fine, one month." she answered.
Montage ( how tf am I gonna this; also Gangut p.o.v; Kung Fu Fighting playing)
Today, I am going to begin my workout. This Brit is wasting my time. I can't believe I agreed to this but if this doesn't work then I won't have to work with him anymore. I saw him enter the room and prepared for the workout. He carefully removed his glasses followed by his uniform. He doesn't look half bad. Wait no he is still evil, a capitalist pig. He got his piece of cloth that was wrapped in arm. He tied it in his head to cover his bangs. After tying it he started emitting a red fiery aura. Shit, I'm screwed.
It's been a week since I have started and there is one word to explain this and it was hell. This so called workout can be replaced with the word torture. I don't seem to be improving. He then entered and did his entire routine. I was about to start with the stretching then he called me. "Starting today we are going to do something different." he said. He told me what we will do and we started. We were sparing for the rest of the week. It was exhausting but I think I'm improving.
After another week, I went to our usual training place to find him missing. I checked all the usual places he usually stayed. "I finally found you." I said. "I wasn't hiding though." he said, raising his eyebrow. He brought me to the shooting grounds. I was wondering what we were gonna do before he got a gun and shot the target 5 times all hitting the target. That was impressive. It seems that he has some skills. "I will be training you to improve your accuracy. After a few hours, I was starting to lose hope. I haven't hit one bullseye. "Here catch" he said to me while throwing a water bottle (or was it oil). He looked at me and smiled. He seemed to have noticed that I was feeling down. "Look at me, I know you can do it." he said. I looked at his eyes and saw what I was missing, determination. I stared a little longer and noticed I was starting to drool. If he believes I can do it, then why can't I.
Just like that the month has passed. It seems that I really have improved but time to see if my training has bore fruit. He called Sovietska Rossiya in the room. He then whispered something in her ear. "Today you are gonna spar with her. I really am proud of you. If you beat her then you can decide if you still want to be my secretary." he said to me. I blushed at the complement then I heard what he said next. I pondered a moment. I felt my heart tighten from the statement. Do I still hate him? Do I like him? Does he even care about me? This was the first time I have asked these questions to myself. I will prove to him that only I am worthy.
She really seems to have improved. What did they do in one month that can make such a difference. I got into my stance and prepared for battle. She did the same thing and got into her stance. Her stance seems to have improved. I attacked her first by punching her but it seems futile. She grabs my arm and proceeds to lock me. I tried to break free from the lock but to no avail. She simply is stronger than me now. "I give up!" I said while tapping the ground. She let go of me and I was finally able to catch my breath.
"I give up!" she said. I let go of her and wondered what just happened. Did I just win. Haha in your face Rossiya, I finally won against you. I then heard clapping noises. "Congratulations! You did it. Now you don't have to be my secretary." he said. Although he tried to sound cheerful, I noticed he was trying to cover up his sorrow saying the last sentence. "About that. I actually still want to be your secretary. I really had a good time this last month. I also hope we can continue to make memories" I said in fluent english. His english might be rubbing on to me. I put on a smug face and faced towards Rossiya to flaunt my superior english. I then faced towards Oliver and said "I couldn't have done it without you, Shikikan". He smiled at me, seeming like he was happy from my response. I could melt from his smile. No bad Gangut, bad! I felt blood rushing to my cheeks. I hope it isn't too noticeable. "Then you shall still be my secretary." he said. This is gonna make me blush even more. Rossiya started to stare at me with a weird look. Shit! I'm screwed.
It seems that I have blackmail material. Look at Gangut, she looks like a red tomato. I can't wait to tell this to the others. The "crazy" Gangut is blushing like a schoolgirl. I then proceeded to run to the dorms. I can hear her cursing in russian. She is probably chasing me right now. Wait, why is she so fast?
Next Day…..
"Hey Gangut" I said to her. "Yeah?" she replied. "We have a mission. We're gonna visit the Sakura Empire." I said. She gave a thumbs up to show her approval. "We're leaving tomorrow, better get ready" I told her.
Somewhere in the Pacific
"Sorry Akagi, She's getting scrap next week." she said. "I understand." Akagi replied. She went to the room that looks like one you can find in a hospital. -Cough Cough- "So my time has come, huh. You don't need to worry Akagi. I'll always -kof kof- be with you in here." she said, putting her hand on Akagi's heart.
