Chapter 2: Sirius and Dido

The expedition with Yorktown yielded both no results, and no survivors.

Naturally when the carrier and her escorts didn't return by her due date Naval HQ got concerned, and when several days passed without so much as a blip from them they sent in another fleet to see what went wrong. They too didn't return, nor did the groups sent in after them – until eventually one ship managed to escape, telling of a transformed island full of monsters capable of ripping apart riggings with ease.

Such a claim would normally be brushed off as PTSD or delusions... but considering the evidence, the gashes carved into the Ship-Girl's rigging, they couldn't refute it. Not when they had already lost several capital ships and over a dozen escorts to the artificial Mirror Sea, nor when it was discovered that the artificial Mirror Sea was slowly expanding outwards, threatening to engulf all of the eastern seaboard within just a few years if it wasn't stopped pronto.

Seeing that small squadrons had led to the Ship-Girls involved being overwhelmed, Naval HQ decided to go with the opposite approach – mustering an entire fleet of ships from all nations able to conquer the new threat. Some, of course, protested; this was a threat in Eagle Union waters, there was no need for the likes of the Northern Parliament or the Sakura Empire to get involved, especially with Sirens still in their own home waters.

However the Eagle Union was a main supply hub for many of the nations in their war against the Sirens. Be it armaments, new technology, what have you – they had the abundance of natural resources, open space and inland territory to do what other nations weren't able to. As such, if the artificial Mirror Sea was to encroach upon the east coast, it would be significantly harder to get supplies to Europa, threatening all the nations there. Each were capable of holding their own, but if push came to shove and they needed back-up from the Eagle Union, they wouldn't be able to get it with a giant Mirror Sea in the way.

To say nothing of what might happen if the artificial Mirror Sea continued to grow endlessly, perhaps one day threatening to engulf the whole planet.

Enterprise drew in a deep breath. 'Like I'll let that happen.'

A cold breeze wafted past her, ruffling her jacket and tickling her skin, reminding her unpleasantly of the cold winds out on the Atlantic. Her eyes though drifted down from the sky and onto the reason she was even here – Island 13. True to reports it was vastly bigger than it should be, with terrain and biomes impossible to have sprouted in such a short time frame. Yet the evidence stood before her, and if she squinted she could sometimes see the treetops shifting, and not from the wind. The fantastical creatures that called this island home.

Enterprise's eyes swept over the dark waters around her. All around her was countless ships from every nation capable of sending support – Destroyers, Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, each bearing different insignia, different faces of varying emotion. Some were scared, understandably. Some looked eager, excited. Some were stone-faced, treating this like just another mission. Many faces she recognised, but there was a good number she didn't either. Naval HQ had really pulled the world's navies together to fight against the Sirens; even the Dragon Empery, with its limited navy, had managed to send An Shan to represent them.

Sighing Enterprise turned her back on the ocean, and towards the table set up next to her tower. Gathered around it was the various 'flagships' that would lead four separate fleets on each cardinal direction; each with different goals outlined by Naval HQ.

''Alright.'' Enterprise approached, quelling the light conversation all were having. ''Have you made all your preparations?''

''Indeed.'' Amagi gracefully agreed. ''It's somewhat troublesome without radio communications online, but we'll manage.''

Enterprise hummed at that, glancing down at Amagi's hand. In it was a bulky brick of a radio, black in colour and visibly heavy. Since radio traffic in the Mirror Sea was disrupted Akashi had to whip up a counter-measure to that and had actually succeeded... but, of course, the time and resources needed to make these anti-jamming radios was extreme for such a small piece of equipment. It would take years to outfit the entire fleet and months just for the capital ships – as such, only the flagships would have the radios.

Radios that only worked one-way. Meaning the flagships could issue orders, but not receive replies.

Not great, but they'd take what they could get. The fact that Akashi was able to make them at all was a welcome surprise and would aid their mission greatly.

Nodding at that Enterprise looked down at the small wooden table before her, a map pinned down onto it. ''To refresh, Amagi you'll take your fleet around to the eastern side of the island and cut through the jungle; headquarters wants you to reach the research facility that was somewhere in that region. Hopefully there's some people still alive in there, but if not just try and salvage what research notes you can.''

''Understood.'' She bowed lightly.

Enterprise turned her gaze ahead, looking across the table at the other Sakura woman present. ''Musashi, you'll come down from the north through the mountains. Reports indicate that there's cave entrances there which should lead into the volcano and to where the thermal generator at its core is. If you can, disable it by any means – better to have the whole base unpowered than keep this Mirror Sea up for much longer. Additionally, HQ wants you to examine and secure the radar station if possible; it's fairly high up the mountains though, so be careful.''

''It shall be done.'' She assured smoothly, nine tails flicking behind her briefly.

Glancing to her right she met the grim eyes of New Jersey. ''New Jersey, you'll handle the south through the swamps. There's a secondary research lab near the base of the volcano that supposedly dealt with classified research – HQ wants you to grab that stuff as well.''

''Got it.'' New Jersey saluted with a slight grin.

Enterprise returned it before looking over at the last flagship of the group – Impero. ''You'll be leading the forces to the west, Impero, through the forests. The worker dormitories should be deep inside it; you're to look for any survivors and, if possible, search the base of the mountain for any additional entrances to the volcano; HQ mentioned there might be reports about them are unconfirmed.''

''Got it.'' The lazy carrier hummed.

Enterprise looked between them all. ''Myself and the others on the coastal fleet will provide air support when we can, just call it in and expect it in about a minute or two, depending on how things go. Any questions?''

None came.

''Then let's go!''

A chorus of affirmatives came from her allies, and as one they started issuing orders into their radios.

Within the minute ships began to move, surging forth whilst others deployed their riggings, skating across the water's surface towards Island 13.

X-x-X

Sirius wasn't quite sure what to make of all this.

An island off of the coast of the Eagle Union, taken over by a Mirror Sea and spawning monsters within it? It almost bordered on ridiculous, but she trusted Her Majesty enough to have not been fooled, and thus followed said queen's order to the letter – to aid their Eagle Union allies in ridding the island of the threat on their shores.

That was how the maid found herself marching up the shore and into the forest from the western side of the island. With her rigging weighing on her back and sword in hand she led Dido through the thick shrubbery, eyes peeled for the slightest movement amidst the trees. What kind of creatures lurked on the island they weren't told, if only because the one Ship-Girl who had managed to escape was on the verge of a mental breakdown and couldn't give many details. What they did mention though was that they were strong, and fast.

Naturally Dido was frightened by the prospect, and had spent most of the trip fretting about running into a giant spider or other unsightly insect. Sirius sighed at the thought, casting a gaze over her shoulder at her sister as she followed just a few steps behind, sword already raised and prepared to swing it the moment something jumped out at her. Perhaps because of that the others they'd been paired with kept their distance, hanging back a good dozen feet just so they didn't startle the flighty cruiser.

'Which is good I suppose. Since we're meant to clear the way for the others, it's practically inevitable we'll run into trouble first.' Sirius mused to herself, taking her eyes off of her sister. 'Now-'

Her thoughts were cut short however as she noticed movement in the brush – near-silent but visible.

And then suddenly the thick greenery was split open as a hulking wolf-like creature burst out, charging straight for her.

''Incoming!'' Sirius proclaimed, raising her sword.

She got it up just in time for the Direwolf to reach her, swinging at its face with the intent on cutting it down. However with surprising flexibility it turned its body and narrowly evaded her slash, landing on the grass next to her before lunging for her sides, jaws opening to chomp down on her. A tactic foiled as she opened fire with her left-side cannons; four shells hitting their mark and blowing up in the beast's face.

To her surprise however it didn't go down. The smoke parted as the Direwolf leapt back, howling in pain and with much of its flesh blown off, revealing bone in places, but its head remained not only in-tact but its life did as well. There was no time to examine the dark-furred creature though before it lunged at her, paws padding heavily across the grass as it charged and prompting her to take a ready stance, reloading her left-side cannons as she did so.

Only to be startled when a second Direwolf charged her right side. Immediately she opened fire with her right-side cannons but her alarm hampered her aim, her shells going wide and exploding at the creature's feet – slowing it but dealing little damage, the dirt and smoke sent airborne serving as a smokescreen for the creature. Sirius grimaced and hopped back, evading the paw-swipe from the leftmost Direwolf and keeping her front to them both.

''A-Ah!''

A cry from one of her allies further back though alerted her to the fact it was not just the two Direwolves she was dealing with. A whole pack of them had emerged from the bush and were laying siege to her allies; Destroyers and cruisers who opened fire with swift, powerful salvos, blowing apart trees and ruining foliage, but struggling to hit the shockingly nimble wolves as they ducked between bushes and trees. It took her a second to realise they'd already been encircled; the wolves closing in on the rear echelon and forcing them forwards.

'Such intelligence...!' Sirius was alarmed.

However movement ahead forced her gaze onto the injured Direwolf as it charged her. Steeling her gaze Sirius let out a war cry and lunged for the beast, meeting it halfway and ducking under its paw-swipe, slashing across its underbelly instead. It yelped and fell helplessly to the ground, tossing and turning as it tried to get back up, but Sirius turned and emptied a full salvo into its body. Smoke bloomed out from the impact but she didn't have the time to see if it was dead; her head jerking to the right as she heard Dido cry out.

The sight made her blood turn to ice. Dido, shoved to the floor, the beast mounting her like it was intending to mate with her – and as Sirius laid eyes on its large, red cock she realised that was exactly what the Direwolf intended to do with her sister. The ice evaporated and indignant fury took over, and with a valiant shout Sirius rushed over, swinging her hefty sword out and forcing the creature off lest it be cut in twain.

''Fall back!'' Sirius barked out, raising her blade and blocking an incoming claw strike – leaning back to avoid losing an eye. ''Dido, we must move!''

''R-Right!'' Dido cried as she stumbled to her feet – pouring her momentum into the act and slicing the Direwolf's hind leg off, forcing it down with a yelp.

Sirius stabbed it through its bulging back and opened fire, wincing as flame and shrapnel harshly blew past her, cutting her skin, but she felt the Direwolf cease its resistance immediately. Holding her breath lest she inhale any smoke Sirius yanked her sword out and stumbled in the direction of the others, her eyes just beginning to water when she broke out into the open once more – inhaling a quick, much needed breath before she chased after a fleeing Dido, the others doing the same as they tried to escape their encirclement.

They managed to, and even as she ran she could see the others bolting for the main group lagging behind them. Sirius followed suit-

-or would have, had a heavy body not suddenly tackled her from the left. The air was knocked out of her and she hit the ground rolling, sword still clutched tightly in her hand as she came to a stop.

The Direwolf was upon her in a second, paw pressing down on her back and forcing a gasp out of Sirius, her arm jerking back in a blind swing to try and deter the wolfish beast – but when her swing reached its apex the beast jerked its head forth and snapped its jaws around her blade, wrenching it from her weakened grip and throwing it away before ruining her rigging with teeth and claws, shredding through metal as easily as paper even as she kept struggling under it, shouts of defiance giving way to budding panic as the last of her turrets were destroyed.

Gritting her teeth Sirius managed to squirm around onto her back, a sharp kick jerking the beast's head back and allowing her to shuffle away as fast as she could – but another Direwolf intercepted her, snarling in her face and making her jerk back. It was only then that she realised the others had all left. All besides her... and Dido.

The cries of whom could be heard just a few dozen feet away, shrill and terrified.

She had no time to attend to her sister though as the Direwolf by her feet lunged, its frontal fangs sinking into the fabric of her skirt and ripping it down the front – nearly yanking it off of her hips had the waistband not outright snapped and come apart, revealing the lacy black underwear she was wearing. Realisation dawned on Sirius then and a nauseous mix of anger and fear welled up within her, the latter taking precedent as the hulking wolf snapped down at her crotch, clearly attempting to bite off her underwear – and coming dangerously close to just biting her crotch off.

Thinking fast Sirius attempted another sudden kick – but this time the Direwolf reacted, snapping its jaws around her shin. Its razor-sharp teeth dug into her flesh and Sirius let out a cry of pain, one that escalated into a shriek of surprise as the beast threw her over onto her front, her bust cushioning her impact only mildly and leaving her chest sore. That proved to be the least of Sirius's problems though as she felt hot, wet breath on her ass – before a big tooth dragged itself down her rear, digging in and ultimately snapping her lacy panties in a single strong movement, exposing her loins to the cold misty air.

''N-No...'' Sirius breathed out almost instinctively, a jagged wedge of fear burying itself into her heart.

A fear that kept her still long enough for the Direwolf to mount her, its fur grazing the back of her thighs and its large red shaft touching her ass – before the tip rubbed along her slit, and forced itself inside. Sirius clutched at the grass in a heartbeat, soil upturned between her curling fingers as she let out a sharp, pained cry; one that spiked in volume as the wolf drove itself in deeper, prying her tender walls apart to make room for more of its pointy shaft. Sooner than expected it reached her depths, the head prodding her cervix, but the Direwolf gave her no time to rest.

Sirius wheezed as she felt its cock rake her walls on the way out, pulling only halfway out of her deflowered pussy before roughly jamming itself back inside. She jolted forwards but with its weight on her back she was pinned to the dirt, able to only wheeze and cry out as the hulking beast rutted itself into her, every thrust stuffing her womanhood to an extent she hadn't thought possible, her eyes bulging each time the tip battered against her cervix.

''Ah! No, no st- agh~!''

Her cries were graceless, hasty, desperate. Yet it did nothing to deter the Direwolf from bucking its bestial hips, its pace gradually hastening as it got into the swing of things and fucking her without a shred of hesitation – the surrounding wolves paying Sirius only a passing glance before rushing off in the direction her allies had gone. Dimly, in the back of her mind, Sirius wondered if the others would be okay, if they would make it to the main group intact.

Such thoughts though were fucked from her mind as the Direwolf stuffed her once more. The air was knocked out of Sirius's lungs, not helped by how much her chest was squished into the dirt, but another sensation registered to her as well. The feeling of something impacting her nether lips, seemingly part of the beast's cock as it rubbed against her petals, and for a moment Sirius had no idea what it could be; too lost in her pain to really think straight.

That was until she remembered that her defiler was a wolf. And wolves tended to have a particular addition to their dicks.

''W-Wait, you can- ant!''

Sirius's voice spiked to a shrill, pained pitch as the Direwolf's inflated knot finally pushed its way inside her pussy. It stretched her walls apart to an extent she hadn't thought possible, her eyes bulging and her lungs void of air as it plugged her entrance. However the maid had no time to adapt to the painful sensation of being so stretched as the Direwolf continued to mate with her more eagerly than before; howling in delight as it slammed itself against her cervix, every thrust raking her sore insides and making Sirius spasm.

Hot, wet breaths against her nape made Sirius whimper, screwing her eyes shut and trying her best to just ignore it – ignore the pain, ignore the cock inside of her, ignore the distant, but shamefully good pleasure her masochistic side drew upon. The mere thought made her sick but her body betrayed her, a bit of wetness lubricating the Direwolf's cock as it raped her, every thrust powerful enough to shove her into the dirt and leave her moaning in a mixture of pain and unwanted pleasure.

''Agh... M-Master... Your Majesty...'' Sirius moaned into the dirt like the whore she felt like. ''F-Forgive me...!''

Skin smacked, her ass rippling from every impact.

The beast's cock pulsed against her walls, inflating to the point it felt she would break.

And then with a howl, a bestial proclamation, the Direwolf buried itself inside Sirius and came – flooding her unwilling womb with gushes of its seed. The maid cried out into the dirt as she felt its hot seed paint her insides, spurt after spurt shooting inside her but unable to leak out with the beast's knot in the way – filling her up until Sirius could feel a slight bulge in her groin. It had cum so much it was practically inflating her with its seed.

''A-Ahh...'' Sirius felt what little strength she still had leave her, humiliation weighing on her just as heavily as the beast's bulk did. ''Forgive me...''

The Direwolf responded by way of growling – and then resuming its thrusts, needing little more than a few seconds before it could continue mating with her.

Eager to sire as many pups in her as it could.

X-x-X

Dido did her best. She really did.

But faced with fast-moving wolves and her own anxiety, and the cruiser found herself cut-off from her remaining allies within moments, and surrounded.

She managed to take one Direwolf down with her sword but it came at the cost of her rigging, another wolf tearing through it and rendering it so useless she simply de-summoned it so she would be more mobile. However blinded by the blue light of her disappearing rigging Dido was unprepared for the third Direwolf that knocked her off of her feet with a charging headbutt, sending the cruiser to the ground – her sword tumbling from her sweaty palms.

''A-Ah, no-!'' Dido reached out in the direction it had fallen.

She didn't even get the chance to try and stand before the Direwolf responsible was on top of her, snarling in her face. Dido squeaked in utter terror, going rigid, and after several intense seconds the beast moved back. For a split-second Dido thought it was sparing her, the thought relieving her greatly... until its snout went under her skirt.

''Eep!'' Dido shoved her skirt down – only to freeze when it growled at her, its tone low, guttural. Commanding.

When it moved its snout under her skirt again Dido offered no resistance, terrified into submission as it sniffed at her crotch – before with a slow, almost careful bite it grabbed her underwear and jerked its head back. Dido flinched as her lacy lavender panties snapped in an instant, the leftover material falling limp, and realisation dawned on the busty cruiser as the Direwolf got on top of her. She looked down its underbelly at the beast's bulging red cock but found herself frozen stiff, unable to so much as look away as the beast got down on top of her, its cock-head rubbing along her virginal lips.

And then it was pushing inside her. Dido whimpered, then gasped – and then wailed as the beast shoved the rest of its animalistic cock inside her. It was thick and long, stealing her first time and stuffing the terrified maid to the brim on the very first thrust. She scrambled for something to grab onto and ended up clutching onto the beast's fur, but if the creature noticed her hold it didn't protest; growling under its breath as it started bucking its hips and stuffing itself inside of her.

''Agh! Hyaah~!'' Dido cried out, pained tears coming to her eyes as the wolf's cock stabbed into her groin. ''T-Take it out!''

The beast didn't. Puffing out a guttural breath it seemed to press down on her, its fur matted with leaves and smelling of damp forestry, making it hard for Dido to breathe – not helped by the large cock slamming into her formerly-virginal pussy. Her legs twitched open wider on instinct in some feeble attempt to make it less painful and it helped only minimally, her knees jerking upwards and her toes constantly curling as she was raped raw against the grass.

Screwing her eyes shut Dido felt something plap against her folds, the impact strong and firm as if trying to shove itself inside her – and her heart dropped as she realised that little fact. A fact realised just as the Direwolf's thick knot forced itself inside of her pussy, instantly stretching her vaginal walls and fucking a shrill wail out of the maid, her head thrown back and her back arching as a stab of pain shot up her loins.

''N-Noo! Take it out, take it out, p-please~!'' Dido wailed.

The Direwolf offered her no response other than a bestial grunt, slamming itself into her with growing force. Dido thrashed under it but could do little more than clutch onto the beast's forelegs for support, wheezing as she felt the knot push up into her womanhood only to tug back out towards the entrance – but it wouldn't come out. It had inflated now, too big to come out and leaving them stuck together, and perhaps as a result encouraged the beast to slam-fuck her with shorter, quicker motions.

Dido felt like she was going to pass out – whether from shock, panic or some other reason she had no clue. Her head felt light even as her body ached with agony, every thrust like a stab between her legs and the beast's cock only swelling in size as it ruined her pussy. The knot plugging her entrance tugged painfully on said entrance every time it reared back, almost like a spring coiling before it propelled the beast's cock back into her, bumping her cervix like it was trying to penetrate that part of her too.

'No, please make it stop...' Dido whimpered to herself, feeling the creature's cock throb inside of her as it kept moving, railing her sore walls-

-when the beast suddenly howled, and Dido squeaked as gushes of hot semen gushed inside of her. Sensitive from her deflowering she felt every little detail intimately; her mind fracturing from the terrifying realisation the Direwolf had impregnated her, its unwanted warmth pooling deep inside her womb.

'...is it over now...?'

Dido got her answer as the beast growled, and within the minute resumed mating with her, unheeding of her sobs.

The first true 'losses' of the invasion had begun, and they would not be the last. Far, far from it.
