11444. God help us all...Phoenix is at it again. She summoned ANOTHER volcano-girl. DO NOT, whatever you do, for the love of any and all deities and anything else that is considered holy, make this new girl mad. It would be the end of EVERYTHING.
11444a. "Hi, I'm Yellowstone." - New Volcano-girl
11444b. "No. You didn't. PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T!" - Admiral Williams, one step away from a meltdown
Phoenix was praising her good luck. She had finally been able to get her hands on another summoning chamber after her shitty Admiral confiscated her last one. It wasn't like Helens was that bad! She was actually quite dull for a volcano which is why Phoenix wanted to try for someone more interesting. Which is why she was currently doing what she was now, laying out offerings around a summoning chamber. Lots and lots of offerings. A big volcano required lots of love after all.
"Bring us forth the Valley of a Thousand Smokes. Rise up to challenge the might of the Abyss with your Holy Fire. Yellowstone, come forth!"
600,000 years she had lain dormant. But not completely silent. She spoke constantly, whispering to the people above her. But they seemed not to hear her calls, until now.
GENERAL QUARTERS! GENERAL QUARTERS!
She knew of the cry, designed for those of an element that was not hers.
GENERAL QUARTERS! GENERAL QUARTERS!
Her body shuddered as she instinctively wished to repulse the call meant for sea dwellers.
ALL HANDS MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!
The call may not be designed for her. But it was meant for her and she longed to speak to those who dwelt above. She made to the surface.
Phoenix knew it worked when she saw the chamber froth and roil as it had when she summoned Helens, Kilauea, and Etna. This time it was far more intense and from the roiling sea burth forth Yellowstone. Like all volcanoes, and indeed all kanmusu in general, she was very beautiful. She had pale skin, dark brown almost black hair and hazel eyes. She looked almost normal if not for the flame that lit those eyes. She looked squarely at Phoenix or rather at South Dakota who had just come into the lab and was staring shocked at her companion.
Seeing what she saw, there was only one thing she could say. "PHOEEENIIXXXX!"
Admiral Williams knew this was a bad one when South Dakota led Phoenix in on a literal leash. SoDac never wrangled her partner in crime unless Phoenix really fucked up and from the look on the cruiser's face, she knew she'd done just that.
He sighed. "Okay, what's the problem?" He asked.
"Phoenix is always a problem but she's the bigger one!" South Dakota replied, pointing to another kanmusu as she entered.
Yellowstone was so tall she hit her head and grumbled a foul curse, then paused. "Human vulgar, fascinating. The way the vowels just roll off you tongue." She mused.
"We can discuss the particulars of the English Language later." Admiral Williams grumbled, taking in the new girl's appearance. Tacoma was tall but this girl was even taller. Reflecting her powerful status, Yellowstone was a monster standing 6'10". and she was seriously ripped from her broad shoulders to abs that could double as a cheese grater. From her sheer size, Williams figured the problem was with supply. Such a large kanmusu would be a nightmare to feed. "Report." He ordered.
Yellowstone snapped to attention. "Admiral, I am Supervolcano Yellowstone."
Williams blinked once, then he blinked again as if he didn't believe it. Then he turned to Phoenix. "You didn't." He whispered. "PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T!"
Phoenix offered a sheepish grin. "I was bored?" She tried.
Williams pulled at his hair, amazed he still had any at this point. "Okay, you can um, go to the um, galley and uh, find something to eat. South Dakota will show you the way and leave Phoenix here would you." He asked.
"Will do Admiral." South Dakota said and she led Yellowstone out. Already the volcano was asking questions about this mysterious substance called "food". All the volcanoes had been confused about that initially but if they were any indication then Yellowstone would develop a love for Wyoming style dishes. For some reason, all the volcanoes summoned thus far had a preference for foods native to their state or province. Williams had no idea why. Magical Sparkly Shipgirl Bullshit (TM). He figured.
He put that aside. He had a present shipgirl in his office to deal with. "Now then Phoenix." He purred, a dark aura appearing around him as his eyes turned white. "Why don't you tell me everything?"
"Meep!"
