Destroy.

How i wish that I didn't, My machinery... of maybe my body tried to roar again, I screamed as loud as i could as I looked at my hands. There's oil and steel fragments everywhere on them, I shake madly. trembling before I yowled again at the sky.

My hands keep shaking, my palms are all stained with death. My eyes are all wide with no light or color in them as they glow with a crimson shade of red. I struggle against my machinery as my hands slam the seas, seemingly feeling my fairies also all out of control as I struggled to keep myself in control.

"S-S-S...!" I can't speak, I can barely think. There is that voice telling me to kill.

"D-DES...DESU...!" I heard one of my fairies replying back as my battlespace display was glitching out with static, Everything was in a red shade of color as it tried to classify everything as hostile.

"S-STO-STOP!" Suddenly, I feel myself becoming rapidly tired as my transformation began to fail. I straighten up and shake as I feel my clothes and modified rigging returning to normal, I grunt in pain as the pressure within my body increased. before I simply fell down onto the water as both me and my crew were knocked out.


OST:Upon Selecting resupply

I had recently been put back into action, waiting for my new assignment.

My actions during the battle against the First carrier division bothered many people, to say at the least. With the most worrying part being what i had did.

I wasn't willing to speak much. but when I transform, Its usually because of my hopes and enough reserves of energy enabling me to go into my Magical girl state. In this state my abilities were increased heavily and I had no qualms on laughing in glee during battle as I destroyed entire fleets. However even to this day I didn't really demonstrate that i had regained this form.

It was in reverse with this incident.

Again I didn't want to say much, But when I ended up transforming during my lone attack on the first carrier division it was assumed that I was using the same methods I used to achieve my transformation, Except that it wasn't normal. And that I had done so by relying on my rage and hatred. To put it simply, I powered my transformation with my own hate. With unlimited power at that.

It didn't help that I was apparently aware of what was happening, Roaring at the enemy fleet only to ram into a destroyer and then proceeding to switch my attention at the poor destroyer. And then I was just growling as I punched and smashed her to obliteration before the enemy fleet took a good decision to retreat and escape.

After that I was confined in the labs, Being analyzed. having my crew asked and being tested to find out what the hell caused that event, And why all of a sudden I was able to make my powers work in the first place.

All results said the same thing:100% Kanmusu, Absolutely no Abyssal-related abnormalities.

The scientist girls had tried many different ways, Options. equipment. calculations and having me do stuff in tests to see if something was different, But the results were the same.

It all ended when someone ordered to stop it, Because with the recent battles everyone was recuperating and exhausted, And the UN doesn't wait.

There were some rumors that the scientists wanted to find something that would allow them to construct Jet of missile technology. Since it was known that the abyssals had been suffering a technological gap for some time now and with Mutsuki/Me being treated, The chance was there to take. When I heard this, my reaction was "How unsurprising. Missiles changed everything as we know it."

So here I was. deemed good enough to be put back into action, Since the only other thing that I could do was to see my squadron. But I was informed that they had been waiting idle while I was being tested.

I heard walking and I looked up to see Takyuu.

"Oh! There you are... Did you get into any battles just like I did?" I asked her with a bit of relief in my voice.

"Yes, I can say its not been going well as of lately.. We should get this over with, Mutsuki-chan." Takyuu replied as we walked together, eventually seeing the Ri-class instructor that I had referred to as the Ooyodo clone.

This was the first time Takyuu had seen me and the Ri walking side by side, The Ri just glared at me and I shot back a glare at her. The battleship at that point just wanted to be far away from any arguments that might start.

I never stopped with my glaring and neither did the instructor. Until we split off at some point when the Ri-class narrowed her eyes at me and I simply stared back in return.

To say Takyuu was grateful when the Ri and I went our separate ways was a understatement.


2 weeks later...

I had been getting enough time for myself to relax as of lately in what looked like a park, Something I needed given I was still somewhat unhinged mentally.

So far, my routine had been to wake up. eat and play games, Assist with developing the Hellcat and radar projects. Destroyer training, Advanced carrier training. Free to do whatever after that.

Right now, I was walking around and taking in the scenery. which was calming me as I wondered if I could run into Takyuu of one of my friends here...

"I really needed this time for myself... I can feel my mind mending itself!" With time, I had became more calmer as of lately and I could now hold a talk with a random abyssal around here without it turning into me rambling as my powers too began to return, Not as strong as I wanted it to. But strong enough for basic skills.

"Oryo... I wonder if that Rukyuu is around here?" While I had been making friends so far, They weren't much and what ones I was able to make were either busy fighting or stuck in assignments. A few of them however were free enough for me to attempt a chat with in my routine.

Quickly spotting her, I remembered her name that she went by... 'Rebun', A strange name but at least it was interesting as a choice. "Rebun!" I called out to her as she turned around to look at me.

"Ah! Mutsuki, There you are." She called out as I ran to catch up with her and we both started walking together looking at a few girls and benches on which to sit on as I tried to think up of something.

As we walked together, I finally thought up of something to speak under pressure. "Do you remember the day we met? Back during.. well, the disaster that was my first sortie?"

"Um... Yes." She didn't seem too entirely comfortable with what I did back then but shook it off.

"I was not what you called healthy back then... remember?" I asked as I looked up at her, and she returned my gaze as we turned to walk in another different direction.

"Yeah, From what I know. You would suffer from crying fits, panic attacks. anxiety... I can only imagine what you must have been thinking of yourself at the time." Rebun tried to keep her tone emotionless as she recalled the numerous problems I was suffering during that time.

"Oh, Don't remind me of that. Rebun. I lost my sleep because of that... Anyway... How are things?" The battleship, hearing these words went quiet before she replied back.

"Its been typical so far, I haven't been sortied for some time. But on the other hand, I am sure your first official battle must have been intense for you." Taking another turn, We found ourselves going back into the base as there was a increasing presence of more girls. though I found myself still worried a surprise air attack could happen.

"It... Went alright... Except when I lost control..." I said that quietly as I looked unsure of myself, knowing how I was filled with rage and was unable to think of anything other than destruction.

"Don't beat yourself over it. I am sure you will be fine, You've Mutsuki. The destroyer who put quite a dent in us before you switched sides, Remember?" Rebun tried to cheer me up as we saw a unique Ri-class, This one I didn't know yet as I kept her in mind for later.

"H-Heh, When you've armed with Flankers and supersonic Interdictors I am sure you gain some fame after a certain time.. you know?" I replied back with something of a poor joke as Rebun chuckled quietly.

"Yeah, I am pretty sure its the dream of the enemy side to develop Jets and other advanced technologies before we do. I can't imagine myself not screaming If i saw bombs falling out of the clouds!" That reminded me, The Kikkas and the Keiuns might change that. But I wondered if asking her right now was a good time...

"Oryo... Rebun, I wanted to ask something..." The Ru-class tried to reply but I cut her off as I wanted to take the lead. "About the Kikkas and the Keiuns... You remember that the Kikka, although it was a prototype still saw test flights? I am sure they might be the first to get developed even if their actual performance isn't that great..."

The Ru-class arched one of her eyebrows up as she processed what I said. If the Japanese side, of which I had been formely a part of did develop the Kikka historically... "Um... Well... That's something new, Wasn't the actual fighter delayed heavily by engine issues?"

"Yes... But i am sure that they have more time now than it used to be during the Kikka's development.. This time they might work out the issues and from there scale up to the Karyu!" I replied with a slightly upbeat tone as again she carefully considered what I said.

"Hmm.. They are still not using anything like the Hellcats of Reppus, So i can't imagine they are anywhere close to getting anything like a Kikka flying. Still, If what you say is true... I guess that we might eventually see them in action. It's just going to take a long time." Walking together, I got hungry for some sweets as I ran out of things to say and I was already starting to tire of randomly walking around like this.


So far, My latest annoyance in this base sat from me. A grin barely disturbing her expression, This destroyer princess's eyes were filled with mischief. showing traces of the maliciousness I saw in some official abyssal art, The overall effect seemed to say that she could quickly pin me down if she wanted to.

I was glad that it wasn't affecting me, My attempt at small talk with ice cream. how the strategic theater was going and chatting about WW2 history had quickly turned into about me holding back of refusing to use my full potential even though I was still hesitant about severely damaging my former friends.

"It's a Kanmusu thing, you wouldn't understand..." I began to smirk slightly as the princess tried to understand what I meant as I sighed. "I thought you understand that I am still going though some things, I am sure you get sick of people telling you to sink your former friends and still pressuring you to do so even though you're not over that yet."

Her confusion didn't last long as her grin returned, I had to admit. she looked like someone from Bacius's mangas right now.

"W-well, Imagine what you could do if you simply embraced your new position. If you put all of your equipment to full use instead of simply holding back so much. You could be able to destroy several fleets and still be able to keep going! Of you could sink Yamato and her Ten-go force..-" She was interrupted as I stood up with a unhappy look and I got unhappy at her for what she was saying.

"You Baka! Don't say anything like that to me!" I threw a piece of ramen noodle. I was angry now as Rebun was unsure what to say to the destroyer princess in front of me.

"Its not like you have to manage having to be a carrier and destroyer at the same time while you get to be a princess just because of a glitch in the summoning system!" I pointed my finger at her as she was taken back what I was saying. "In the first place, Despite my lack of training. I still manage to beat down all of the Wos around this base in every carrier on carrier training session!"

"So which mouth is blabbering about what I have to deal with on a common basis. huh!?" Giving her a tsundere, I pounced on her as I wanted to get her to be quiet the destroyer way.

"Aauahhh!" I was stretching her cheeks with her down on the ground as Rebun and a few other abyssals looked on with wide eyes as the destroyer princess tried to reply back despite what I was doing. "B-But I am not what you call getting to not fight and I am not a hypothetical shipauagwaauhhakh! Aauwuhah!" It still didn't stop me from stretching her cheeks as she made more noises.

"Um.. The both of you, Can you please stop it? Come on. already!" Rebun asked as I was still busy stretching this destroyer's cheeks and the other abyssals were starting to mutter along theirselves as I stared the princess down.


"Mutsuki-chan? I need to ask you something." I was sitting on a bench outside along with Himura after one of my gaming sessions. So far I had never been more relaxed emotionally than I was, and my treatment was only going to help as time passed.

"Oryo? What is it, Himura?" Looking at her, She placed her hand on my shoulder as she quietly asked me something.

"Mutsuki... I think I can't say how... important you are."

Now that had caught my attention, What exactly made me that important? "Oryo...? What do you mean?"

"Remember how.. how you said you were the first Cold war shipgirl? That you were the enemy's first shipgirl, but with post war equipment? And highly advanced equipment at that? Do you have any idea. Mutsuki-chan?" I tried to understand the implications behind her words as I considered what to say.

"So what you mean is..."

"Do you have any idea... Mutsuki-chan... What the possibilities are? What happens when we get something like Jets or highly advanced radar?" She lowered her voice as she continued. "Imagine what happens when we turn this around... when even their Zeroes and other crazy advanced equipment becomes outdated overnight..?"

"So... I have to not... get myself lost of anything like that?" Himura nodded back as she decided to continue talking.

"I can't say how important it is that you stay healthy, Mutsuki-chan. These technologies are too valuable. and I am sure that with you we might be able to figure out something eventually. Mutsuki... I am sure we will." I tried to reassure her by patting her head as she gazed over my body.

"I... don't worry, I've... fought against the first carrier division and somehow came out fine.. I am sure I be okay. I promise~." I allowed her to rest on my shoulder as i looked up, Wondering if they should just skip the hellcats and go straight for the first Jet fighter designs or instead keep debugging the hellcat and from there develop the advanced designs of WW2... so many choices.


OST:Across the Seas

Gritting my teeth as streams of information came in. I powered straight though them as I managed my squadron of Su-33s and directed the Wo's aircraft groups.

While I was undergoing advanced carrier training, I was also getting used to the idea of using my fighters and their onboard RADAR to direct the wider battlespace as a whole. I had been one to be a bit disdainful about RADAR and to some extent carrier airpower. But right now I had to admit I did find it useful over other devices as I was able to direct whole carrier fleets and their aircraft wings against a enemy that wasn't aware of the moves going on behind the scenes.

"Direct this squadron of wildcats to fly straight into the enemy fighter group. At the same time, split off about say. 4 of so wildcats and have them climb to provide top cover for the other wildcats!" Knowing from my gameplay experience. I wanted to go in as brutal and as fast as possible to not give them the time to react and force them off-balance. It was surprising how even a destroyer like me was still able to handle all this input of information despite not being say. CVN-65 Enterprise of Nimitz, But I suppose thats what coming with the ability to support and maintain my modern equipment does.

Watching the first wildcats engage the enemy fighters in combat, my Flanker's RADARs picked up a enemy dive bomber squadron coming in fast as I had multiple dive bombers and torpedo bomber squadrons still under my command... Hmm...

"Direct two of our dive bomber squadrons and merge them up into one, At the same time split off a flight of four torpedo bombers and provide them with a pair of wildcats for protection. Have them approach the enemy carrier from another direction, As soon as Enemy combat patrol is distracted and starts chasing them. Tell them to extend out and run away, At the same time. This dive bomber squadron must hold off until Enemy fighters are distracted!"

Complying with my desires and orders, The Wo protested at this complex maneuver I was trying to pull off but went along with it anyway as while I was forcing the enemy carrier to bleed off fighters. the exchange ratio still wasn't that one-sided and I had the problem of incoming enemy bomber units... This tactic of luring away most of the air patrol had to work, otherwise things would become difficult for me...

"Come on... hurry! Mutsuki is depending on you!" I watched as Wildcats duked it out with each other, each blip slowing down and then coming to a standstill as the incoming dive bombers were intercepted with what I had... One fighter tricked... Three more... 5...

"Send in this extra-large dive bomber squadron!" I was getting nervous as i tried to calm myself. At the same time I got alerts of a incoming torpedo bomber group and with not many fighters i was forced to get some of these reserve dive bombers to intercept these.

I soon got a alert that the wildcats had concluded their fight and that the enemy fighters were forced to retreat away, with a favourable but not that impressive one-sided exchange ratio for me as I relayed my desires to them to stay near me and the Wo...

Finally, my sacrificial torpedo bombers were caught up with and now they were already starting to take losses. But their job was done as my Dive bombers came in and with little fighter opposition, One loss didn't even matter as a few tens all descended at once... Managing to hit the enemy carrier and damage her a lot as my trick had paid off.

I soon heard the announcement that me and the Wo were the victor as I sighed in relief.. I wanted to eat some candy already.

Tell me what situation i should get into next or if next chapter should have a major fleet battle with me merely damaging of actually sinking a shipgirl!
