A/N: Here's another chapter for you good folks who enjoyed the first chapter. And I would like to thank those who gave me useful information about Kancolle and US NAVY and Air Force. So yeah, I'll be changing the F-22 Raptor to the F-35C but the F-16 will stay until somebody can suggest another US Carrier-based fighter to fill in the F-16 roles. Oh and almost forgot to tell you people, this takes place before the anime.
Chapter 2: Talk and lunch
"Ah shit!" Dunn said.
I simply wave my right hand in front of the brown haired woman, not getting any response from her at all.
"Dunn, pass me your magnum." I asked.
"Sure." Dunn passes his .357 magnum to me.
I point the magnum in the air and pull the trigger. A loud bang rang out snapping the girls out of their stupor.
"Hello, you good now?" I asked.
The woman just nods a bit and stares at Dunn as if she seen a ghost and point her hand at him while she stutters a bit.
"YOU JUST SINGLEHANDLY BEAT A BATTLESHIP PRINCESS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!" A purple haired girl wearing a sailor outfit shouted.
"So?" Dunn said oblivious to the girl's surprise.
"YOU JUST BEAT ONE OF THE STRONGEST ABYSSALS AS IF NOTHING!" She shouted while she dramatically waves her arms around.
"Strongest? More like the weakest. Hell, I'm very sure a Spetnaz can beat her with three moves before she could land a hit." Dunn said with a wave of hand.
"Spetnaz?" She asked with a confused tone.
"Nevermind…" Dunn said.
"Anyway, I think we should introduce ourselves." The brown-haired woman said. "I'm the name ship of the Kongou class! Born in England and raised in Japan, Kongou!" She introduce in the most dramatic fashion.
Next was her sister I think since they both bore some similarities or something.
"Second ship of the Kongou class! I won't lose in love or war! I'm Hiei!" She shouted while doing dramatic pose.
"I think I got brain cancer now." Dunn whispered to me which I couldn't help but agree.
Next were the two young girls wearing a sailor outfit along with a admiral hat.
"Special-Type Destroyer, Akatsuki." The purple-haired girl greeted.
"Special-Type Destroyer, Hibiki." The sliver-haired girl introduced.
"Light Cruiser, Yuubari."
"Aviation Crusier, Mogami." The young teenager introduced.
"Sergeant Mitchell." I casually greeted. "75th Ranger Regiment."
"Corporeal Dunn." Dunn introduces himself. "75th Ranger Regiment."
The shipgirls just looks at us with confuse looks. Seriously, they never heard about the U.S Rangers? What kind of shit part of the earth did we end up in?
"Seriously, you never heard about the U.S Rangers?" Dunn asked.
"Nope, Not at all." Kongou said with an innocent tone. "But I know that your Americans."
I couldn't help but pinch the tip of my nose in frustration. Seriously! They don't know anything about U.S Rangers! They're obviously part of the navy and yet they don't know about U.S Ground Forces!
"Please tell me you have someone in charge I can talk to." I pleaded.
"Well there's Secretary Ship Nagato and Admiral!" She said with a girlish tone.
"Where's your Naval Base located at?" Dunn asked.
"It's at Yokosuka. Just south from here." Hiei answered. "It's a 15 minutes trip from here."
"Then lead us." Dunn said.
Hiei nodded and sets off with the rest following her. I click the safety of my FN SCAR-H on and followed them with Dunn behind me.
"Stay frosty." I said.
It's been 15 minutes after the battle against those alien shipgirls or whatever their called. So far, we're seven minutes away to Yokosuka Naval base. Feeling bored, I surf next to Dunn and tap him on the shoulder.
"Hey Dunn, got your phone?" I asked.
"I think so." Dunn answered. He opens one of his many pockets and pulls out an Iphone 6s. "What do you know, still in one piece?" He said.
With a swipe of his finger, the Smartphone unlocks and views Dunn's homepage. "Hope you're up for some AC DC."
(AC-DC: Back in Black)
Hearing the familiar beat of drums mix with the sounds of a guitar. I couldn't help but hum to the beat of the music. Soon the lyrics of the song kick in.
Back in black
I hit the sack
It's been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging around
I've been looking at the sky
and it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cats eyes
Cruisin' every woman, never wonderin' why
The shipgirls turn around and look at us with a weird look as they listen to the strange unfamiliar music.
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
It didn't take long for the purple-haired kid to dance to the beat of the music .
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
"What kind of music is this?"
"This is AC DC." Dunn answered. "Best song they made."
The music continues further on. Surprisingly, the girls seem to enjoy the music to as some of them hum the lyrics of the song.
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
hooo yeah
Ohh yeah
Yes I am
Oooh yeah, yeah Oh yeah
Back in now
Well I'm back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Soon the music ends much to the shipgirls disappointment. Later, we see what looks like a large concrete door on the side of a cliff.
The door later opens revealing some sort of port. Beneath the shallow waters, I see circular platforms with Japanese characters on it.
I notice several mechanical arms pop out from nowhere and started taking the mechanical parts off the girls.
Soon the mechanical arms turn their attention towards me. Knowing their purpose, the arms slowly take apart my Arleigh-Burke Destroyer parts. This sort of reminded me of Starcraft 2 all over again. I look back at Dunn only to see him waiting for me at the platform elevator with the others.
Soon, I arrive at the platform and felt the platform slowly lift itself out of the lower levels of the complex.
"So...this is your base?" Dunn asked.
"Yeah. But this is where other shipgirls sortie." Mogami answered.
"I see. Do you girls wear armour?" Dunn asked again.
"No."
"Wait. You just wear normal clothes." Dunn said. "Then how the fuck did you even survive when you get hit by a bullet or a HE shell?"
"We're pretty much reincarnations of ships from past years." She answered with a confused look. "You do know that right?"
"You know what, I ask your superiors about this." Dunn said while he rubs his helmet.
Later, the platform reaches to the top of the complex. And on our right was a steel door
The doors later open revealing what's outside. Dunn and i look around with dumbstruck expression. Thankfully, Dunn's skull mask and my tactical goggles and balaclava hid our surprise expression.
"Welcome to Yokosuka Naval base." Kongou said.
Dunn and I look around the naval district to see a dorm, a Cafeteria, another cafe, cranes, a bathhouse, couple of warehouses, cranes and a courtyard.
"Not bad." Dunn commented.
"Glad you like it!" Kongou said with a smile.
"But where are the AA Guns. Usually there are a couple of AA guns to defend the base." Dunn pointed out.
"Dunn, drop it. We'll bring it up once we meet their CO." I said.
"Right." Dunn said.
I turn around to face Kongou only to find her gone. "Where the fuck did she went off too"
The rest just shrug their shoulder as if this happens every day.
"Most probably went off to find the admiral." Yuubari said. "I'll bring you two to the admiral."
"Lead the way." I said.
Yuubari soon leads us straight towards the main building. During the journey, we receive a couple of stares from the girls who live here. Most were fearful due to Dunn's intimidating armor but the others were curious to why we're here.
(Later…)
"We're here." Yuubari said as she stood in front a fancy wooden door.
"So this is where the admiral is." Dunn muttered. "Moment of truth."
"Yeah man. Time to get some answers" I said.
Both of us push the door open only to see two young women dress in some weird outfit and are standing besides fancy-looking desk and behind the desk was the admiral himself.
He was somewhere in his twenties. The big difference was his stern look and mature face. That is something you see in young commanding officers.
"Admiral." Both Dunn and I said and saluted.
"At ease soldiers." Admiral said. "I'm Admiral Kaido Yamato. You can call me Admiral." He gesture to the two woman besides him. "These are my secretaries. Secretary ship Nagato and Mutsu.
"Corporeal Dunn." Dunn greeted.
"Sergeant Mitchell." I greeted.
"So that you're from the 75th Ranger Regiment right." He asked.
"Correct sir." I said.
"Um...Admiral." Yuubari said. "Dunn-sama manages to take out a Battleship Princess himself."
"He what!?" Nagato exclaimed in surprise along with Mutsu.
The Admiral was surprised by this new to and intrigued at the same time.
"To be honest, I had help from Mitchell. Sir." Dunn said.
"Yeah about that, what were those pale-looking girls?" I asked.
"Those were Abyssals. Their origins are unknown." He explained. "They first appeared five years ago and manage to take over almost every part of the Earth's ocean."
"What about the navy?" I asked. "Surely they could have handled them."
"No. The Abyssals somehow were able to wipe out all our navy forces. Leaving our oceans defenseless." He said. "Then the Kanmusu came."
"Kanmusu?" I asked.
"The shipgirls. They have the power to defeat the Abyssals because they are the reincarnations of warships from the past." He answered. "Surprisingly, you two are the first male kanmusu known in existence. I'm curious, what are your ship designations"
"You mean the ship's name?" Dunn asked.
"Yes."
"For me, Nimitz-Class Supercarrier." Dunn answered.
"Arleigh Burke-Class missile guided destroyer." I answered.
"Interesting. Not only are you two the first male kanmusu, you both are reincarnations of modern warships." He said with a surprise tone.
"AD…MI..RAL!" A voice shouted from a distance.
"Oh boy." Admiral said.
The door suddenly slams open revealing Kongou with an excited look on her face.
"Burning…LOVE!" She shouted and launches herself while doing a couple of spins towards Dunn.
In an instant, Dunn grabs Kongou and slams her to the ground thus knocking the wind out of her. Dunn takes out his Shadow Dagger and was about to stab her but stop as he realize he nearly hurt Kongou.
"Sorry about that." Dunn apologized and picks Kongou up.
"Anyway, back into the matter at hand, umm. We aren't exactly reincarnations of the warships we mention." I said.
"What do you mean by that?" Admiral asked.
"Well…we sort of died." Dunn said.
"Died?"
Yeah. We recently came back from re-service and decided to go for a airsoft match but a bus comes in and hits us as if Mike Tyson was driving it." I explain. "After that, we woke up in the middle of the ocean with our airsoft guns turn into live firearms."
"Firearms? They aren't effective against Abyssals because their skin resembles a warship." Admiral said.
"Firearms don't work? Ours did. I manage to kill several of those Abyssals with my FN-SCAR-H." I said.
"Maybe your combat outfit enhances you're firearms ammunition to do some damage against the Abyssals." Admiral concluded.
"Outfits? Wait, you mean those parts and weapons of the said ship?" Dunn asked.
"Yes." Admiral answered.
"So how do we refill our supplies?" Dunn asked.
"Yeah, we're pretty much almost out of ammo." I said.
"Oh, you simply eat." Admiral said. "Whatever you eat in the Naval District Cafeteria, your supplies are all filled up. And if you get damage, head to the docks which look like a bathhouse."
"Well I am feeling hungry from all the fighting." Dunn said.
"Well just head to the Cafeteria and get something to eat. You are dismissed."
"Yes sir. Thank you sir." Dunn and I saluted and left the room with Yuubari and Kongou.
"Hey sorry about that. Military instincts kicked in when you barged in." Dunn said while he rubs the back of his head.
"It's alright." Kongou replied smiling. "So you guys are hungry right?"
Both of us nodded.
Without warning, she grabs both of our hands and takes off like a mad bull with us flailing around like dolls.
(3 minutes later…)
Soon Kongou reaches to the Naval District Cafeteria with us in tow. Later Dunn and I recover from what happened.
"Don't do that again." I said as I dizzily got on my two feet.
"So this is the Cafeteria. I wonder what's on the menu." Dunn said.
"Same here pal."
We enter the cafeteria to see a buffet table with different kinds of food lined up on the table. And by god, they smell delicious
"Holy…"
"Shit."
"Look at all that food!" Dunn shouted with excitement.
We set aside our weapons on a nearby table and rush straight towards the buffet table. Grabbing what we can, we head back to our table and set our food down. Dunn had a large plate of curry Japanese rice along with raw salmon, fried chicken and fried prawn. Well for me, was a large bowl of rice with grilled salmon, chicken, beef and pork.
Taking my balaclava off or in Dunn's case, taking his helmet off. Instantly, we wolf down our food hungrily not caring the amount of stares we were receiving from those who were in the cafeteria.
"Oh great, more heavy eaters and who are this people!?" Every single shipgirl present thought while Kongou was busy smiling.
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed today's chapter and remember, those who have in-depth knowledge about Kancolle and military, please inform me if anything is wrong. Oh, and Dunn's fairies will be tad different from the other fairies that the other kanmusu have.
