Chapter 5: Sleeping Terror Flagship

The entire fleet was divided into many squadrons. YUUDACHI (Yukari) was assigned to Fourth Torpedo Squadron - Second Destroyer Division: Naka (Flagship), Murasame (Sub-flagship), HARUSAME (Yuyuko), and other destroyers which she was too lazy to remember.

It was very lucky that she could stay close to HARUSAME: not that she was worry about her safety; she knew what her friend was capable of. But it would be nice to be able to take care for each other back within eye-range: HARUSAME was the best choice as they knew each other for a long time that they started to synchronize their action with less effort than pairing with others.

For YUUBARI, YUUDACHI really felt sorry for whoever was her flagship. Unlike her, YUUBARI was more aggressive than her in social status; she would not hesitate to make someone losing face if she deemed that they did not reserve her respect. Her manner could swing from adorable mother to hellish being from the depth of hell in an instant. Just prayed that her flagship got lucky.

In this war; her duty was to finish off the remnant abyssal who survived the fight with the heavy-weight, or work with other Destroyer Division to pluck on any abyssal broken from their formation. So aside from 61 cm. oxygen torpedoes, she loaded 80% of her capacity with HE rounds, 10% AP-Tracer rounds, and last 10% with AP-HE rounds. She noted to her friends that they were just all-rounder not the finisher, so no matter how they set their ammo proportion, HE rounds should be mainly in stock.

After sailing for many hours, at last they could see the army far away at the horizon.

"All unit BATTLE STATION!" All nominated Flagships called out on the radio frequency. Naka, YUUDACHI's flagship gave more specific info after that "10 minutes to engage everyone!"

They came closer.

"Everyone! Focus on the I-class and Ha-class ,On my Mark!" Naka announced.

YUUDACHI and HARUSAME were more than ready, they were inching to fire their loaded HE round any moment. Murasame noticed her sisters' excitement.

"Relax you two! Don't stress too much or you'll miss the targe-"

"FIRE! ! !"

Continuous thunderclap sound conquered the battlefield. YUUDACHI's twin HE rounds soared toward one of the Ha-class, it exploded upon impact: tore its' jaw clean off, leaving the owner convulsed heavily in a pool of its' own blood. She then scored a finishing hit point blank.

HARUSAME didn't fire on Naka's mark; she rushed forward ahead of anyone and double tapped I-class point blank, sending her target to misery.

"HEY! Harusame-chan, don't break formation!" Murasame warned.

"Hehe..Sorry, I got carried away."

Unknown to YUUDACHI, YUUBARI was a Flagship of Sixth Torpedo Squadron herself. Now, her subordinate, entire of Thirtieth Destroyer Division, were frightening as hell.

.

.

YUUBARI was on a killing spree.

.

.

Without destroyer escort, she alone was on berserk-run. She let loose all of her nature as a sleeping terror; abyssal enemy felt fear from the presence of her very being. Along the way she passed was spilled with blood and countless bloody corpse of abyssal destroyers, light cruisers, and heavy cruisers.

A Ta-class battleship, who rushed to aid their ally, fired her volley intent to sink YUUBARI. YUUBARI noticed all incoming shots quickly sidestepped: sped up toward her enemy afterward.

Ta-class prepare herself to receive the shots instead of fled, this is a fatal mistake that would Doom her. Unlike YUUDACHI or HARUSAME who select ammunition base on reason and purpose of their role, YUUBARI loaded all ammunition with AP type only out of pleasure; she wasn't interest to carry any torpedo due to slow traveling speed. She closed her distant to a few meters in front of Ta-class: duel wielded her 5-inch and 5.5-inch guns firing non-stop while Ta-class was reloading. Nearly 30 rounds of 5 & 5.5 inches caliber successfully loaded themselves into Ta-class body without went through; her dead body was still intact thanks for battleship thick armor but looked gruesome nonetheless.

"Kisaragi-chan! What's wrong with Yuubari-san? This isn't like her!" Mutsuki, sub-flagship, shakily asked.

Kisarraki looked shock, but she tried her best to fight with devil instinct to go wild after witness bloody massacre actually.

"Nagato-san! Yuubari-san..Yuubari-san…." She tried to report the situation via central channel while crying out of fear.

"Mutsuki, report the situation, what happen to Yuubari?"

"She…she….SHE'S INSANE!" she couldn't continue the report anymore; meanwhile the other squadrons got interest and paid close attention.

Kisaragi calmly stood in "Allow Kisaragi to step in, Yuubari-san is on killing spree. Please be advised to be cautious around her."

Other ship girls still didn't got the clue(?)

"That sounds like her"

"Agree"

YUUDACHI and HARUSAME giggled.

Suddenly, Re-class emerged near Mutsuki. Her tail bit Mutsuki right arm off: creating small blood fountain out of the wound. Mutsuki was still shocked from the sudden of event, but Kisaragi already screamed at the top of her lungs

"MUTSUKIIIIIIIIIIIIII!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!."

YUUBARI advanced alone ahead of too far from the group: leaving 10 Ri-class, 2 Wo-class, 3 Ru-class, and 3 Re-class sinking. Her 5.5 & 5 inches ammo ran dry a while ago. She kept bursting her 25mm. autocannon at the remaining chi-class, her fate was screwed up as her comrade.

YUUBARI came to halt when she faced a new group of enemy. She sensed they were stronger than those small fry; she grinned madly, her eyes shined evil-red at the same time.

"This is going to be fun. Ufu..fu.." She smirked against 5 mysterious humanoid figures.
