Chapter 9: Naval warfare

Warehouse district, Vale

Roman stood next to a table that held a map of Remnant on it. Around the table were Adam, Emerald, mercury, Neo and Cinder. "So what we looking at?" Roman asked in his super sarcastic way.

"We are all here because I think it's time we went to phase 3." Cinder said, everyone took a step back in shock.

"Cinder, you can't be serious? You really think we are ready to do this?" Adam asked

"Yes, we are ready for Phase 3 to start. Soon Remnant will be ours." Cinder said as she placed a stone figure atop of where vale was. it was a Ursa killing someone. "We strike in 2 weeks. Alright." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Good, get everyone ready…"

Coastline of un-named city, Syria

Fleet admiral Roger Stevenson stood at the bridge of his joint-fleets flag ship. An aircraft carrier named the USS Barrack Obama. His fleet was numbering 30 fully working warships. 10 aircraft carriers, 5 destroyers, 5 frigates and 10 ships holding the marine invasion force. His fleet was on standby to launch their troops and aircraft when a ensign yelled out "SIR! PRIORITY RETREAT COMMAND!" the ensign, named Sanders, yelled. The admiral turned to face the ensign.

"Why?" He asked, his voice calm and collected

"Sir, nuclear devise found within the city, all troops are pulling back…" the ensign said. when he finished the air went cold as realization hit everyone.

"Tell the fleet to pull back. Halt all launches. And turn us around. I want us the…" He couldn't finish as a large explosion went off. The admiral turned around to see a mushroom cloud rise. "No…" he muttered as his fleet was his by a wave of dust and radiation

The admiral awoke to ensign sanders standing over him. "What happened?" Roger asked

"Want the good news or the bad news first?" Sanders asked

"Hit me…"

"Good news. We survived the nuke with all ships and personal intact. Bad news is that we are now in unknown waters. And we have no map of the surrounding areas." The ensign reported.

Roger began to stand up as he thought about what was just reported. "Start priority message for assistance. And get me a hornet team in the air."

"Yes sir!" The ensign saluted and quickly ran back to his post on the ship

Sam and Dexter walked along the halls of the USS Barrack Obama towards the flight deck. Helmets in hand. "Hey Sam, you heard about what's going on up there. Heard we got hit by a nuke." Dexter asked

"Yeah, and we are somehow in uncharted water. That's why we're going up." Sam said, her short black hair shimmering in the artificial light of the tight corridor.

"Yep. I think we need to double time it." Dexter said as alarms started to blare and loudspeakers came on

"ATTENTION ALL CREW THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTATIONS!" the loudspeaker shouted. The two pilots walked out onto the ships flight deck. They were met with flight crew running about and the sound of the waves crashing against the ship.

"Alright Sam, it's time to dance." Dexter said as he and Sam ran over to their F/A-18 Hornet. A man in a pilot helmet and an orange work vest standing next to a stairway that leads to the cockpit. "Harry, how she doing?"

"She's ready to go." The man, named Harry, answered

"What's our objective?" Sam asked

"Objective is coming down from the fleet admiral himself here. you guys and your wingmen and women are going on a exploration run. Try and find any land or civilization close by." Harry spoke

"Got it." Sam said as her and Dexter walked up the stairs and climbed into the cockpit.

"This is Hornet 6-7, we are clear for take-off." Dexter said through com's

"This is central. You are clear for take-off. Good hunting." The bridge called over the line. The Hornet drew into the strip and launched quickly into the air.

Sam looked out through the cockpits screen. Under them were the entire joint fleet. Two hornets flanked theirs as they flew over the ocean. "Hornet 6-7, this is Hornet 6-5. We are on your left and ready on you."

"Copy Hornet 6-5. Let's go hunting." Dexter said as they began their mission.

Jeff was bored. His job made him stay on the same boat ferrying Dust from Mistral to Atlas. He was bored out of his mind on the long trips. He sat around the bridge of his cargo ship and waited for his shift to be over. Then a large moan went out. He quickly got to his feet and ran over to the radar to see a massive plip next to the boat. "Oh no…" Jeff mumbled as a large tentacle came out of the ocean. Jeff ran up to the ships microphone that connected to the radio "This is the shipping vessel Schnee's vessel. We are under attack by a Kraken grim! We need help. Please!"

"This is the shipping vessel Schnee's vessel. We are under attack by a Kraken grim! We need help. Please!"

"Central? You getting this?" Sam asked through com's.

"This is Central. We heard it. Admiral wants you to provide support for the ship. The USS Austin and the HMS Brunel are I'm-bound to support." Central radioed

"Copy that, engaging." Dexter said as he pulled the stick and the flight of 3 fighters went lower. "All fighters, time to fight." Dexter said "Shipping vessel Schnee's vessel. This is Hornet 6-7 of the USS Barack Obama. We are inbound to assist." The fighters went under the cloud level to see what looked like a giant squid. "Wow... that's a big squid."

"Yep. Let's kill it." Sam laughed as they came in.

"Alright, all fighters on us for firing run." Dexter ordered as the fighters lined up. "ENGAGE!" the hornets heavy guns buried themselves in smoke as bullets fired into the krakens body. "Empty missile chambers." They fired their missiles into the kraken. It let out a roar as the fighters flew over it after their run. "Central? How long left till the ships back us up?"

"Central here. Ships are bombarding now." Dexter looked out of the window to see the 2 destroyers firing their main cannons into the beasts body. Its body blew up into tiny pieces as it fell back into the dark ocean. "This is central, report back for de-briefing."

"Copy Central, reporting back." Dexter responded as he and his wingmen turned and went back towards their aircraft carrier.

Mistral Military HQ

"Sir, we have conformation of a unknown ship fleet within the oceans between Mistral and Atlas." A private said

"Get me a line to the General Ironwood. I think we're going to need to talk…" his CO stated.

AN: So the Navy's in play. and what is Phase 3?
