				In the Pacific there was an expanse of water that believed to be completely devoid of anything. All maps shown this as nothing more than an endless expanse of water. All shipping, including Military, has been strictly regulated to avoid these waters. No Satellite was allowed to fly over for any reason. Many that ventured too close would find mysterious craft, and radio transmissions warning them away with lethal force. All this to protect the secret that was hidden here for so very long.<br><br>However, these waters were not empty. No, far from it. There a lone Island sat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Nothing more than an over glorified sandbar, it was barely big enough to house the complex that has been secretly built, and operated upon it. A top Secret XCOM military installation that was tasked to try, and track any Alien incursion onto the Earth. The Facility was simply dubbed: Sand Island<br><br>It was thankfully a clear day in the skies over Sand Island. The once hidden XCOM listening base has been turned into the launching station for the Fleet Girl program. Many in the upper echelons of XCOM Command, along with many of the World's true power brokers did not hold much faith in the Fleet Girls program. It was mostly done as a publicity stunt to boost public support, and morale, but a publicity stunt could be used strategically.&nbsp; Even if it was nothing more than to divert Alien eyes away from XCOM's main defense lines at the Panama and Suez Canal. Two of the most vital supply lines for humanity.<br><br>All the Ship girls were arriving together by XCOM craft, the Avenger high speed transport took off only 5 hours ago, and was already arriving at Sand Island in the Pacific Ocean. From the side windows, the newly arriving ship girls would be able to look out and see an XCOM Fighter jet providing them with an escort. It was a surprisingly familiar fighter, a F/a-18E Super Hornet. Still in service after so long. Mostly because after the losses Xcom had been taking, even outdated fighters were better than none, especially if said outdated fighter had a laser gun secretly built into the nose.<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/acecombat/images/2/2e/Ap10.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/282?cb=20130317175924)</div><br>Around the island two small patrol boats on either side could be seen slowly making their way though the undulating waves of the deep azure blue waters, keeping a constant eye out for any and all suspicious activity that could threaten the base. Anything else, aside from armored guards with laser rifles patrolling on their usual rounds, was hidden from view. All manner of defenses that the base had were underground, ready to spring out and blast anything that entered their airspace at the push of a button. Some xcom agents even rose out from the water, changing their patrols with another group in their own pair of &nbsp;glistening yellow underwater armor &nbsp;(http://ufopaedia.org/images/5/5f/UP022_%28TFTD%29.png) which allowed them to move underwater with increased speed but still did little to help them fight the strength of the Abyss Alien Alliance.<br><br>The Avenger did one circuit of the Island as the Pilots performed the necessary security protocol to verify their identity. The next moment after the once around of the island, a click could be heard in the Passenger cabin of the Transport. “Alright ladies, welcome to the sand castle, we hope you enjoyed your flight and sorry for the jetlag.” One of the three pilots at the front called out from the Cockpit, making a mocking impersonation of a Passenger Aircraft Pilot. He then angled the ship down and slowly decreased its speed until it was just hovering. Drifting, it came to a slow stop at its designated area, a thick slab of duracrete with the same painted markings like a helipad. The aircraft jostled slightly when it finally touched down for a landing.<br><br>At the back of the Aircraft, the large loading ramp began to lower with a hydraulic whine, and an electric hum. The interior was flooded by the brisk salt filled air as the crashing of the waves just a could dozen yards away could just barely be heard over the idling whine of the Avenger's turbine engines. “Welcome to the island, girls. Sand, sun, and aliens to kill. Good hunting out there.” The same pilot called out with a wave to the girls as they checked their systems for the return trip back to their original starting point once they had been fueled up and their next orders given.<br><br>Just outside of the landing zone, two people waited patiently for the young women to disembark. One was an older man, years, and experience etched upon his skin, and shone in his eyes. A pristine naval uniform hung on his fit frame as the polished brass stars of an Admiral could be seen shimmering in the bright pacific sun on his shoulder caps. Though thanks to the young lady to his side he seemed more like a parent with a bratty child, trying to be presentable.<br><br>The other person was a young woman that held a sharp glare at those that seemed to trundle their way down the rear ramp of the Idling Avenger as if they were tourists on vacation. She already disapproved of the lot. That their presence was a mockery of XCOM, and made the whole operation look like a farce. She was a new breed of Fleet Girl. She was not one that was "<em>blessed</em>" in the inheritence of the spirit of one of the many Legendary Warships. She was an Artificial Fleet girl, the first of her kind, made by the most brilliant Minds, and the most advance technology. She was Leviathan, usually called Levi by those few who could stand to be more than ten minutes with her after she grew to be more of a spoiled kid than she was before.<br><br>"Why do we need these obsoletes? I was doing just fine on my own, sir." Levi said with the girls still out of range of hearing their conversation but could possibly read the body language if they knew how to do so. Her arms currently wrapped around herself as she stated off at the sea, wearing an old bomber's jacket and pants that had endless amounts of pockets on them along with a pair of boots. <br><br>"you know why. We've been over this, now I expect you to either shut up, or do your job Leviathan, or else I will revoke every last priviledge you have until your sleeping on the floor on a pile of leaves."<br><br>"<strong>But but</strong>..." Levi began to say but was too stunned to even think up a proper response.<br><br>"You wanted to act like a child, so im<em> treating </em>you like one. Let me know when your interested in playing like one of the big kids again." The old man said before putting his arms behind his back and smilling at the ladies who were approaching and nodding to each one individually. Levi gave her own response of a weak handwave.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/5/150011.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Arizona<br><strong>Location:</strong> Avenger----Sand Island<br><strong>tagging:</strong> Open,<br><strong>Doing:</strong> hating life:<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>laying across the very back row of seats on the Avenger, soft groans of pain could be heard from a busty red head that had a moist handkerchief laying across her eyes. Ever since the Avenger took off, Arizona has been suffering from Motion sickness. She felt nauseated, and had a headache. even lying down was doing her very little favors. In her mind, the same though kept whirling around in her head. <em>Why, oh why did I ever get on this infernal contraption!</em> the only thing he wanted to do was land, and get off, and possibly never set foot on a airplane again as long as she lived. When the Pilot announced that they were arriving at Sand Island, she could only groan out a triumphant "yay" before she felt her lunch trying to surface again, resulting in a soft unlady like "urp". <br><br>That last few minutes stretched out into eternity until finally the sharp jostling of the ship's landing nearly threw her from her seat. "Damn it. Tell us when you're going going to drop out of the sky." she growled to no one in particular. As the rear ramp lowered, and the salty air filled the cabin. Arizona took a deep breath. She could feel her nausea fading away as she hoisted herself to her feet, and grabbed her luggage. She packed lightly as she didn't know how large her accommodations would be. Though from what she heard of Military bases, there was not going to be a lot of room. <br><br>Arizona would stagger off the back of the Avenger on wobbly legs. She still looked rather green around the gills, but was immensely thankful to finally get off that blasted airplane. The dress she wore was a parting gift from her mother as she left her home. It came down to just above her knees, and thigh high black stockings covered her long shapely legs. Arizona's red hair fluttered on the ocean wind as she stepped out into the sun. "Oh thank god, the flight is finally over. No more Airplanes." She gasped as her stomach was finally settling down. <br><br>After taking a few calming breaths, she approached the Older man, and the young woman. Even from a distance, Arizona could see that the woman was angry about something, but what? She came up to within five Feet. "Um...Battleship Arizona reporting for...uh, Duty?" She said with uncertainty as she was not really experienced with Military affairs. <br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://kancolle-l.com/files/links/ScUGKeqKj3cT.jpg)</div><br><strong>name:</strong> Musashi<br><strong>Location:</strong> Sand Island<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><strong>Doing:</strong> Just waking up from a nap<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------<br><br>While Arizona may have hated to fly, Another wasn't bothered by it. In fact she spent the entire flight asleep. Her long white hair hung down to her bottom as her sun tanned skin seemed to contrast, and bring out her rich ruby eyes. Once the Avenger touched, down, The Japanese Battleship, Musashi. Stood up, and stretched. Her large breasts seemingly wanting to burst out of her Black cotton tank top. A pair of tight shorts, and combat boots finished up her outfit as she picked up an US Army Surplus duffel bag she ordered off the internet, and flung it over her shoulder. She would follow Arizona off the Airplane, and stretch as she enjoyed the sun upon her tanned skin. "Soooo Good!" She crooned in relief in getting off that stuffy Airplane. <br><br>After a good stretch, she would Follow the red head over to an older man, and started waving a bit nervously. "Um...hi. I'm Yuki....oh, you probably want my ship name, don't cha. It is Musashi." She said quietly.

				As the Avenger came in to land, a figure at the back of the compartment closed her book, and then got to her feet to get her kit from where she'd stowed it. Placing the book in her kit, she the shook out her blonde hair, and then leaned over to the pinkette on the other side of the aisle and gently touched her shoulder to get her attention. "We've arrived." she said to her softly, before slinging her bags onto her shoulders (staggering a little under their weight), before forming up behind the tanned girl and the redhead and walking off the shuttle, pulling on a beret as she did so. When she approached the two figures standing there, she came to attention and saluted. "Battlecruiser <em>Hood</em>, reporting for duty, sir."

Crossing her arm of her shoulder she did a quick stretch. “Yosha!” She cheered loudly as she threw a fist into the air. Even after just getting up from up from a nap she was already raring to get moving. She rather obviously had quite a lot energy and was actually looking forward to what laid ahead. She’d gone through quite a bit to get here and was enthusiastic about what was coming up. She’d gone through hell for this and now wanted nothing more than to finally engage in combat to defend the world. Clad in a black skirt, white blouse, and black sweater with a tie, she walked down the ramp she approached the two waiting in the center of the airfield. “Nice to meet’cha both.” She said with a big grin on her face to the admiral and the girl next to him. She approached the other three ships and offered her hand to shake the hands of all of them. “Light Cruiser Tenryuu, glad to be working with all of ya!”<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://simg3.gelbooru.com//images/ce/48/ce489b3a490cededc66deed93c7c6b23.jpg?2381910)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Sister Sara<br><strong>Location:</strong> Avenger----Sand Island<br><strong>tagging:</strong> Arizona, Hood, Levi, Admiral<br><strong>Doing:</strong> disembarking and greeting her fellow ships<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>The tall blonde girl, strangely garbed in a dark blue nun’s habit walked down the ramp of the Ranger with considerably less energy than the purple haired light cruiser. She was not anywhere near as gung-ho about the whole thing as her compatriot was. She was actually dreading the idea of having to fight but she had no choice. She had a responsibility as the inheritor of the spirit of the Saratoga to defend the world from the enemy no matter how much she hated the idea of having to fight. She approached the two at the end of the landing. She bowed her head politely to the two before joining the others with a small smile on her face. “I’m Aircraft Carrier Saratoga. You may call me Sister Sara or just Sara if you prefer.” She said with a soft smile and a nod.

If she had to be honest she couldn't quite see how this combined fleet would work. She had her eyes closed as she determined in her head how she was going to introduce herself. The charming and "prince-like" Howe was curious to see just what her new "Superiors" had in mind considering how obsolete their equipment was in comparison to the XCOM laser weapons. She had to admit she was rather surprised when she saw the outdated fighter plane out the window as they approached the base.<br><br>She completely ignored the mockery of the pilots as any dignified person would. She thought that if all XCOM personnel was like this then she was wasting her time here however the thoughts of her orders were what was keeping her here. The ship landed and the ramp lowered and she allowed most of the others to get off before she herself did so. As she disembarked she could see that the girl with the Admiral was none too happy with their arrival she also noted that the old man didn't seem too happy with the girls antics either. She couldn't help the soft chuckle that escaped her lips.<br><br>She then moved forward to introduce herself after most of her compatriots had done so. "Battleship HMS Howe reporting for duty sir" She saluted the admiral standing straight and proper before him taking on the aura and charm of an officer herself despite the fact that she was only recently graduated from the Royal Naval Academy.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.craveonline.com/images/stories/2011/Film/Harrison_Ford_K19_Widowmaker.jpg) </div><br>The Admiral nodded to each and every person individualy to let them know he acknowledged them and memorized their names. It was usually a bad thing to do, especially in XCOM where casualties were a given. The sight of so many eager fresh faced recruits brought a smile to the man’s face, though it was a false one. Deep down all her felt was shame at having to force so many young girls into a war that was likely to be as bad as&nbsp; &nbsp; the previous alien war, where he himself had fought the alien invaders. &nbsp;(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFdwgtW91-k) On his very first mission he had encountered the alien equivelant to Special Forces, known as Mutons. They killed his CO and almost killed him as well, to this day he doesn't remember how he managed to survive other than just stabbing the alien over and over as hard and as fast as he could. He still carried the physical and emotional scars of that conflict with him. When he had been told he would be admiral of the small Aquanaut force on Sand island he thought it would be a dream come true, until the war started up again. <br><br>Once the last of the new arrivals were in place The Admiral cleared his throat. "Welcome everyone. I'm sure you will all make your home nations very proud in the coming days." the man said, looking at each of the girls and making eye contact, getting a general gauge of their emotions and finding himself alittle curious at Howe, who almost seemed to be the most professional of the girls there. (even more so than Levi) As well as being at home with how well she saluted him, as if she had done it a thousand times already.<br><br>"I am Admiral Kasey I will be the XCOM officer in charge of this mission. As of now you are all agents of XCOM and as thus will be expected to act in this manner. I Have taken the liberty of having &nbsp;several booklets and documents (http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) with XCOM info that you might need in your rooms, written in your native languages. For now I must return to my duties but Levi here." The admiral said as he waved a hand in the Artificial Ship Girl's direction, forcing her to smile uncomfortably. <br><br>"Will show you to your quarters, you may direct any and all questions to her as she will be working with you closely from now on. So I bid you all a good day and welcome to XCOM." The Admiral finished up with a clean and crisp salute before turning and beginning his march away from the newly arrived ship girls, thinking to himself that he was far too old for this shit.<br><br>__________________________________________________________________________________<br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/203/7/5/radical_gilda_sketch_by_ereb_tauramandil-d6ekbu0.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> LEVI<br><strong>Location:</strong> Sand Island<br><strong>tagging:</strong> Open,<br><strong>Doing:</strong> hating Admiral Kasey.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>"Alright enough games girls, its time for business. Follow me to your rooms and don't lag behind, I don't have all day to spend with you, I have a big training schedule for myself." She said, remembering that she had to catch up on practicing her guitar moves that day as well as some more suit practice later on. When the new bloods had all gotten their things she turned around and began leading them to one of the buildings that seemed to be the most armored, with Cydonium metal all over it. Cydonium being he strange alien metal that Xcom had managed to learn to manufacture but was only able to do so in small quantities and was rather expensive.<br><br>"As you can guess, the metal building is ours, the windows are all bullet proof but that doesn't make them laser proof. The walls and ceiling are made of Cydonium so its armored against artillery and plasma bombs so we wont all die in our sleep." She said, hoping to scare the little girls into trembling in their boots. For about another half hour it continued like this as Levi showed the girls all around their new home, starting with the kitchen where some robots were actually handling the cooking, the rec room where two off duty guards were playing pool and one other one was watching TV.

Arizona was a little embarrassed that she was so crippled by the flight that she could not even speak to any of them, and hoped that she didn't make a bad impression. As the others started to come off, and approached, she gave them all warm smiles, and waved. The tall tanned woman with the white hair, whom Arizona would find out was Musashi, seemed particularly nervous. A couple of the other girls seemed rather adept to this environment, while she herself felt more like a fish out of water. <br><br>When everyone stepped forward, the Admiral, an experienced looking man finally addressed them with a voice the exuded both confidence, and weariness of his long years of service introduced himself as Admiral Kasey. He informed them that they were now Official XCOM agents, and that they were expected to act accordingly. Though the transition may be more difficult for some than others. He told them that they all had booklets in their room that they needed to look over as they have the pertinent information needed. <br><br>Though just as quickly as he introduced himself, Admiral Kasey passed them off to Levi, and assured them that she would answer their questions, and show them to their quarters. Arizona saluted as she was shown how to do by her mother, and watched as the Admiral walked off before approaching Levi. "Hello, I'm Shana, but I'm also Arizona." She said in a warm friendly manner. Hoping the disapproving looks from earlier was not about her, and the other girls. <br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://kancolle-l.com/files/links/ScUGKeqKj3cT.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Yuki "Musashi" Shinohara<br><strong>Location:</strong> Landing pad<br><strong>Tagging:</strong>, everyone, Levi, open<br><br>--------------------------------------------------<br><br>Yuki was nervous still. She appeared to be one of the tallest girls here, and that made her stand out more. Something she was not wholly comfortable with. She followed The Red Head's example, and gave soft smiles, and waves to the others as the approached. She listened with mild interest as her ruby red eyes fell upon Levi, and her scowl felt even more exposed. Slowly she slipped behind Arizona to try, and stay out of sight.<br><br>When the Admiral excused himself, Musashi also approached Levi, albeit a bit more timidly than Arizona. She extended her hand, her fingernail polish matching her eyes, and smiled as best she could. "Hey Levi, I'm Yuki." She said softly. <br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>It would appear that Levi didn't want to exchange pleasantries with her fellow Ship Girls. Declaring that she was very busy, and that she was doing them a favor by gracing them with her presence. Musashi looked a bit hurt to be so rebuffed, while Arizona let out a quiet sigh as the two picked up their luggage, and followed after the rather faced paced girl. The two listened as they followed her to a building that looked like a Vault. <br><br>Levi explained that the building was made of some new metal that XCOM made, and that it protected them from Artillery, and Plasma bombs. Though the Windows were not Laser resistant. This made Musashi very nervous, and she let out a soft whimper. Arizona only let out an inward groan, and hoped that Levi was not going to be like this all the time. <br><br>The interior of the Building was set up like traditional Military barracks. Though one floor was devoted solely for the Fleet Girls. Each one had their own private room. While not spacious, they weren't tiny either. They were comfortable, and utilitarian in design, and function. Originally intended for scientists. Each room came with a Twin size bed, a desk, and a small bathroom, basically a water closet. At the end of the Hall was the showers. <br><br>Seeing the Kitchen, Musashi's eyes lit up. She always enjoyed cooking, and thought she could continue to cultivate her hobby here. She started to wonder what the pantry was like. Though seeing the robot cooks dampened her enthusiasm. She didn't think the meals would take very good if robots were cooking it.&nbsp;

Her dream was coming true, she had made it out to the island long before anyone else had in hopes of showing off how eager she was to get started. She wanted to impress <em>Her</em> admiral and she meant it. As she set up a picture of her and Ayano on the shelf, one of her few treasures from that point in her life she nodded her head. "I'll be the best I can be Ayano. You just watch and see." she said caressing the picture. The next picture she put up was graduation day. The admiral had attended and had volunteered for a picture with her. Suzuya caressed the picture in it's gold plated frame. She had spared no expense in getting that frame. "I'll show you my admiral I am your best girl." she said to the picture before kissing it with a soft girlish giggle. She then heard the Avenger landing. "Oh I guess the others must be here!" she said standing up, turning and running out the door heading towards the landing pad. <br><br>&nbsp;As she arrived she noticed the Admiral himself was turning to walk back towards the barracks she ran up to him. "Good...afternoon Admiral! It's...good to see you this afternoon." she said acting quite bashful in front of the Admiral before shaking her head and coming to attention. "Shizuka Suzuya Sumeragi reporting as ordered sir!" she said with crispness of proper military decorum. Suzu after wanted to make a good impression on <em>her</em> Admiral and showing she was a professional ship girl was a good way of getting that across to him, the man who'd given her the dream of her heart and a chance to make her grandmother proud.

				Name: Holly "Hood" King<br>Location: Sand Island<br>tagging: Open,<br>Doing: The Tour<br><hr><br>If Levi had thought she was going to put the wind up this particular Battleship Girl with her talk, she was sorely mistaken; for a girl who had spent months reliving her final moments at the hands of <em>Bismarck</em> and <em>Prinz Eugen</em> in May 1941, talk of death did not frighten Holly King as much as it used to. Not that she'd show it, given her reserved nature. During the walk and talk, she found herself sandwiched between several of the more pillow-chested girls, next to a blue-eyed girl with rose coloured hair, who was wearing a Royal Navy tunic like hers; so, she decided to try and get to know the girl.

The quarters used to belong to the scientists but who had left it long ago. <br><br>"Yeah these are your rooms everyone, pick one out and enjoy. Its not much but its home for now." She said, pointing to the doorsways as she walked to the end of the hall and taped her own door. "But <em>this</em> one is<em> mine</em>.

I need to get a room.” She said politely excusing herself for a moment as she picked a random room that nobody was next to yet and entered one of the rooms that still had no one next to it. She didn’t have much and was soon unpacked. Peeking her head out of the room as she heard the girl with the eye patch ask if anyone wanted to go train. She hesitated a moment, not quite sure and looked to see if any of the girls planned to stay behind. If they did she would gladly stay behind to get to know them better.

Levi didn't appear to be a nice person, and was a bit scary to Musashi. <br><br>The building that Levi was right next to built up section of Earthen works. This was the Armory where the Girls outfits were to be maintained, and upgraded when possible. The interior was cavernous as overhead cranes moved large pieces of equipment overhead, and the sounds of power tools echo inside the building. Musashi closed with the two so she wouldn't get lost, and wander into someplace that was dangerous. <br><br>"Oh Hey!? You're Musashi, aren't you?" a Tall busty woman stated as she approached. Musashi didn't think it was&nbsp; possible for someone to be even bigger than she was. "Um...yes, yes I'm Musashi." She squeaked. "Good, good. Come this way. We got your outfit in from Japan this morning, and we need to do final fitting." She stated before grabbing Musashi's hand, and literally dragging her away from the other two. <br><br>The Japanese battleship would be taken to a corner where a huge piece of equipment was sitting on a pallet just in front of a fork lift. "Okay, I got her. Lift that thing up!" the woman commanded, and the man at the wheel of the fork lift pulled the lever as the pallet lifted up. The whine of the motors, and the noticeable bend in the pallet showed that outfit was Heavy! <br><br>Musashi's face paled as she saw the strain that her outfit was putting on the machine. If that thing was taxing a forklift, then how was she suppose to even move in that thing? <br><br>Once it was at its height, The woman turned to Musashi. "Okay, strap 'er on." She ordered. <br><br>Reluctantly, Musashi approached the Outfit, and remembered what she was told back in japan. Turning around, she placed her back into the small cradle, and almost instantly it began to glow as straps appeared, and cinched down all around Musashi's body. Though when it appeared that it was on, Musashi noticed that it didn't seem to weight anything. She stood up, and twirled around. "It's, it's so light!" She announced.

She hoped they could all get along, but already personality quirks were starting to manifest, and add Levi's abrasiveness to it all, and Arizona worried for everyone's sake. She hoped that with time, and familiarity they all can come together to form a formidable Fleet against the Abyssal. <br><br>With introductions out of the way, Arizona decided to go find her room, and figured a shower after that horrendous flight would make her feel all the better. Perhaps maybe a nap too. Picking her bag up, she found a room about midway down the hall, and that faced the ocean. Ari was disappointed that the window couldn't open, but she suspected that was cause it was so thick, and that people can't sneak in. That means if she wants to enjoy the ocean breeze, then she would have to got outside more. Not a bad proposition to be honest. <br><br>Arizona set her bags on the bed, and unpacked her clothing. She left a deep crimson robe out to wear to the shower. Once she was finished putting her clothes away, she stripped down out of her dress, and stockings, and set them on the bed right next to a camisole top, and a pair of shorts for the warmer climate. She put on the robe, and grabbed her bathing kit, and a clean pair of panties, and stepped out into the hall. The robe coming just midway down her thigh, showing off a lot of her legs.

She was more than ready to finally show off what she was capable of and prove that she had what it took to live up to the name of Tenryu. Turning back to Levi she followed after the fleet girl until they arrived at the training area. She let out a low whistle at the sight of all the outfits being prepared. It was quite the sight with all the various outfits being prepared. She could only watch as Musashi was pulled away to try on her own large outfit. Within a few moments she too was being pulled away by a team of mechanics to get outfitted in her equipment.<br><br>“Light Cruiser Tenryu, we’ll get you equipped in just a moment.” The mechanic said as she waved to someone working the machines to lower her equipment. With no hesitation the light cruiser immediately began to strap on the equipment. She’d just managed to get the backpack on when she suddenly felt some dog ear like headgear appearing. Reaching up she touched the ears and the mechanic sighed. “It’s a side effect of the equipment and being a fleetgirl. You’ll just have to deal with it. By the way they don’t come off.” The mechanic announced surprisingly nonchalant about the whole thing. Tenryu gaped in surprise before she got a chance to get angry however the mechanic distracted her with something else. “This is also yours.” She said handing Tenryu a sword in a scabbard. The sword much like her equipment had been reinforced with cydonium so as to be able to deal with the enemy weaponry. The sword successfully kept her from getting angry. “Hey, not bad. Now we’re ready to roll.” She said as she grasped the hilt of the blade, it seemed to fit perfectly into her hand like it was made for her. It was a strange feeling but she liked it.<br><br>Stepping off the platform with ease she made her way over to the launch area. “You ready to go Musashi? What about you Levi? Why don’t you show us how we’re supposed to use this training field?” Tenryu asked as she stepped up, giving the other fleetgirl a chance to show off if she wished.

Musashi's normal headband had been replaced by the one her predecessor used. There wasn't much of a difference except that now there were two blocks that stuck out on either side of her head. It also made part of her hair stick out like cat ears. It was a bit embarrassing, but she'll manage. Once suited up, Musashi was shock to find how natural wearing all this felt. Like a piece of her has been returned. She looked at th three massive turrets that housed three 18" Guns. The largest ever fielded on a battleship. Musashi moved all her guns around through their full arcs of fire. It was weird, but fun move them all. It was all so intuitive. Like she has been doing it for years. Her face lit up in happiness and excitement that had the mechanics chuckle. <br><br>When Tenryuu called out to Musashi, asking if she was ready, Musashi called back in japanese. "HAI!" she then started to make her way to the launch area. Though when she saw Tenryuu's addtion of the "Dog Ears" Musashi's face lit up. "KAWAII~" She squealed before glomping on Tenryuu, pulling the light crusier into Musashi's considerable bust. "They're so cute!" Musashi squealed as she looked at Ten's Dog Ears. touching them slightly.

The head gear was a little unusual and a bit embarrassing but not enough to dampen her enthusiasm when faced with the chance to get to try her hand at some training. She might have thought she was ready for whatever was about to happen she was however not ready for the sudden glomping she got from Musashi. As she was pulled into the other girl’s large bust. Waving her hands in the air she struggled a bit to see if she could get free but was failing miserably. When she got a chance to speak her cheeks had a definite blush and she’d crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not kawaii or cute or anything of the sort. I’m tough and strong.” She grumbled grumpily as she looked away, her cheeks still pink. “L-Levi are you ready to go?” She asked in an attempt to ignore her currently compromised position.

Probably the same as her hair band, a radar of sorts. Musashi didn't seem to notice the predicament she was putting Tenryuu in. Pretty much smothering the other girl in her sun kissed breasts. When the girl broke free, and declared that she was not Cute, but tough, Musashi giggled. The sight made Tenryuu cuter. Musashi could see her in like a plush shark costume, making scary faces. The thought had more giggles spilling out from Musashi as she followed LEVI, and Tenryuu to the launching area. <br><br>Musashi did have to be a bit more careful than the other two. Her outfit was one of the largest, and heaviest. Her shoes were a bit wide in an almost comical clown shoe way. If Musashi could, she would have rather worn something a bit more tapered. She also wondered why the Heel was so tall. It almost felt like the Heels Strippers wore. However, this was her equipment, and there was nothing she could do about it. <br><br>They reached the Launching area for the shipgirls. Five "Chutes" could be seen with water rushing down an inclined plain. Musashi blinked as she stepped onto the pad, and felt the pad sink into the water, and her feet actually starting to float. "Sugoi!" She gasped before suddenly finding herself careening down the incline plain towards the water. She let out a startled scream as she was not prepared for it. "<strong>KYYYYAAAAAAAA!!!!</strong><br><br>She hit the water with a loud splash, and quickly curled up, trying to keep from falling over, or sinking. Surprisingly, to her at least. She was still afloat, and STANDING ON WATER! Her eyes lit up, and she looked around to see if anyone saw her rather unladylike this display.<br><br>With Rose tinted cheeks, she started to follow along after both Levi, and Tenryuu. Though the first thing she noticed was that she wasn't nearly as fast as the other two, nor was she able to turn as tight. However, it wasn't far where they were going, and for some reason, she was really itching to fire her guns, and see how powerful they were.

She was still irritated and embarrassed by the giggling but there wasn’t anything she could do about it so she endured it silently and tried to pretend that it didn’t bother her despite the slight blush on her face. When they did reach the launching area, the light cruiser was once again in a good mood and ready for the chance to try out her equipment. She wasn’t all that much better equipped than Levi was. Besides her two cannons attached to her pack she had a sword and torpedoes. Still it was the size of the dog but the size of the fight in the dog that mattered and she was happy to prove that.<br><br>Stepping to the shuts she waited for the area to fill with water a bit than slid down the ramp into the water. She had expected the ability to float but it was a bit more difficult finding her balance than she had anticipated. She was wobbling but after a few moments she’d recovered her balance enough to begin to move. Turning her head she laughed as she watched Musashi step into the water. Skating her way across the water she approached Levi to see if she couldn’t get the other fleet girl to talk to her. “ This isn’t bad at all. Levi where did you get your outfit? It looks efficient and ready for combat.” She said meaning it completely as a compliment.

Due to being artificial, her outfit required much more technology than the others. Her boots used a minituarized version of technology used inside of the Avenger craft and made her float atop the water as she slowly took one hard step, then another and another. As she built up her momentum she crated small waves behind her, kicking the water up like a jetski and within a minute was skating along the water with a continuous momentum. <br><br><em>'Newton's laws can suck it!' </em> She thought with a big smile as she was soon skating all across the water and leaving a trail of small waves behind her. Suddenly going past Musashi she splashed water all over the heavy ship girl and stuck her tongue out.<br><br>"Water fight!" She called out, really just wanting to use it as a chance to do things to the other girls without getting into any trouble with the already grouchy Admiral who would likely have her cleaning the bathrooms with her only toothbrush. Levi soon did the same thing to Tenryu when she noticed her out on the water, completely coating the light ship in water, and raced out to the Booeys nearby and waited for the other girls to try and keep up, fully expecting them to fall down and start whining.

She sputtered as she was covered in water and wobbled a bit but she didn’t fall down. A minor prank like this wasn’t enough to deter her however, she just took it as a challenge. “I’m not going to let you show me up that easily!” She challenged. Pushing off she headed towards the buoys, trying to pick up some speed as she went although it was a little difficult since she was unused to it but she was determined to keep up with the other fleet girl, no matter how hard she had to work to do so.<br><br>She pressed forward and as she got closer to the buoy moving on the water like this started to feel more natural, like she’d been born to do this.&nbsp; It felt great, the waves the wind, everything. She eyed the ship who had gotten her soaked and charged afterward. She was determined to try to get a bit of payback for the soaking.

She began to say, leading her sparring mates back to the Barracks, after removing her outfit and heading into the Barracks Levi went into her room without much more word to anyone else, even putting a "<strong><em>Do Not Disturb: Sleeping." </em></strong>sign on the front of her door for the others like a little kid.<br><br>'Shit maybe the Admiral is right and I need to lighten up...ahh il do it later.' She thought as she popped in for a quick shower in her room, pretty much continuing to play the part of the spoiled brat that everyone else seemed to think she was. Her shower continued for over thirty minutes as it seemed everyone else was preparing to turn in for the night as well as the sun began to set on the horizon.

She was strolling rather aimlessly when she got out on the beach she noticed the Red headed American girl Arizona "hoh? Lost in thought are we lass?" she asked as she strolled up.

Her long, lean legs swiftly lead her to the Mess Hall, where through the doorway she spotted that cute little destroyer <em>Sikatuna</em> with a plate of food, and then, right next to her, with a mountain of foodstuffs on her own plate, was that superbattleship, <em>Musashi</em>. She waved and called out to them with a smile on her lips.

She had a feeling that soon, Times like this would be a very rare gift, and she figured to savor it as much as possible. <br><br>Arizona's ears Perked up when she heard soft footsteps approaching from being. Soon after, the voice of a woman could be heard. Arizona turned her head to see who had approached. Judging from her Accent, it was someone from England, she would guess. It turned out it was Howe<br><br>Arizona gave Howe a soft smile, and a nod as she asked if Arizona was "Lost in Thought.". When Howe mentioned that it made one appreicate the beauty of the night Sky, again Arizona nodded before moving to stand up on her long curvy legs. "Yes, it does. The Stars are so beautiful. I can only wonder how much longer we can enjoy such a view." Arizona spoke in her normally soft reserved voice.

Exiting she went to head to the mess to eat. She’d gotten a lot bigger appetite ever since she’d awakened the soul of the Saratoga.&nbsp; Conveniently though the tall aircraft carrier didn’t have to worry about gaining weight as she seemed to go through the food almost as fast as it was put in.<br><br>When she arrived she entered the line and grabbed a tray. Soon she had mountains of food on her plate. It wasn’t quite as much as Musashi’s but it was still quite a lot. She too was stopped by the robot and it mentioned something about her not being able to eat that much. In response she “politely” advised it to change its mind about that with a tone that promised if it didn’t it would suffer the full wrath of the church if she didn’t get her food.&nbsp; Within moments it had recognized her and sent her on her way with her tray full of food. Now that she had food she just needed a place to eat it out. Spotting the table full of her fellow fleet girls she made her way over and took a seat at the table. “Hello.” She said greeting the other three ships as she took a seat with her mounds of food.

"Thank you, but you don't need to call me "Big Sister". You can all me Musashi if you want. We're all friends here." The White haired girl stated with a smile as she sat down right next to the destroyer. With her headband in place, a couple of tuffs of hair stuck up like ears, almost giving the girl a "Cat-girl" like appearance. <br><br>Musashi looked up, and turned to see who called out to them. Causing her large breast to push out, and become much more pronounced. When she saw Hood, Musashi smiled, and waved. "Hello Hood!" She chirped happily. She would then turn back to her mountain of food, and started to dig in. <br><br>Just as she expected, the food was very bland. Her face made a disappointed expression as she groaned. "I knew you couldn't trust a robot to make good food." She lamented. She was going to have to make her own if she wanted a decent meal around here. It was only her hunger that was going to allow her to finish this meal. <br><br>Soon they were joined by Seratoga with her own mountain of Food. "Hello~!" Musashi chirped to the aircraft carrier. Then, happily, they were joined by Hood. "I am, though I'm very sore from the training this afternoon." Musashi explained. "Oo, Oo! I got to fire my 46cm cannons for the first time!" She shouted excitedly while dancing in her seat. Causing her large breast to bounce and sway with her movements. "Although, I made the mistake of firing all nine off without bracing myself. I...woke up on the beach after that." She timidly admitted as her dark cheeks darkened further with embarrassment. <br><br>When Sikatuna mentioned about how much Her, and Seratoga were eating, and surely Hood as well. Musashi could only shrug. "I guess it is the trade off with being the larger ship classes. Before, I would have never eaten this much, ever! However, I don't know. once I finish this. I may have back for seconds." She admitted sheepishly.&nbsp;

A UFO of unknown type had attacked a shipping barge before being chased off by XCOM fighters from Hawaii and was heading their way, likely just retreating. But recent Satellite scans determined that it was a small scout UFO, possibly holding Aquatoids, the perfect test run for the ship girls. With his hand on a communicator he quickly dolled out his orders.<br><br>"Ship girls, report to the armory and get suited up, its time for your first mission. LEvi, you have the lead, no Aquanauts this time, its just a small scouting UFO. Hurry before it heads to he bottom of the ocean."

It seemed the aliens always showed up at just the worst time without a single hitch. Levi whisteled and called out to everyone, even kicking their doors to get them up.<br><br>"Hurry! Time to move out clunkers!" She shouted and jumped up and down impatiently for all the others to get ready and out of bed. Once everyone was ready she ran over to the Engineering building where the Engineers had their machines ready to help the girls get their outfits on, even adding in a small extra addition, a small wrist pad which helped them stay in touch with the island and showed them the coordinates to the enemy.

She heard that Levi was in charge but decided it was best not to say anything about it. She hoped the girl was less annoying on the battlefield than she had been on the tour of the barracks. <br><br>Once she was in the armory she hopped onto the platform and was launched out easily taking on her equipment as she went.

She made her way over to the engineering area with her head held high and her back straight, a look of determination on her face. This was her job now. She could protect people and she had a duty to do so. When she arrived she made her way over to an outfitting situation and was soon suited up, a large quiver on her back and bow in her hand.

She waved a hand to help them locate her and pointed another hand in the direction they needed the go for the mission. "Alright girls! Lets send these alien bastards crying back to their mommies." Levi said as she turned in place and began running forward, slowly building up enough momentum to let her boots carry her forward across the dark sea. <br><br>As much as the artificial ship girl liked proclaiming she was better than the obsolete ships, she still envied them for being able to move far more easily across the water on their skates. But she did love how her boots kicked up small waves of water behind her, which also made it easier to see her in the night as the sun sank beneath the waves and the stars slowly blinked into existence up above them.<br><br>When the ship girls had gotten far enough away from Sand Island, the admiral's voice soon came up.<br><br>"Alright ladies. I want everyone on their toes. So far for all except Levi this is your first mission, so be wary. We know that small Abysmal drones tend to follow the alien forces so keep an eye out for both. Don't let up and don't give any breaks. Your mission is to eliminate the alien threat, not to capture. Let others worry about that." The admiral's calm voice said as he watched the ship girl's progress from back at the command room, biting his nails as he hoped the girls would succeed in their mission.<br><br>In the distance the girls could see a strange bell shaped UFO spinning around two X-com fighters and leaving a trail of smoke from their battle.

Arizona started to make her way over along with the rest of the fleet. It was easier for Arizona to get up to speed as opposed to the Artificial Fleet Girl. However, being a battleship, and an older model at that. She was noticeably slower. However, she tried not to slow everyone else down. The Wave generated from Levi's wake actually churning up the Algae in the sea, giving her, and the other girls as faint glowing green wake.&nbsp; <br><br>Arizona listened intently as the Admiral came on over the Radio, and explained their mission was to utterly destroy the Enemy, and not to worry about capturing them. That made things a bit easier as it meant that they would not need to hold back, and could go out with full abandon. "Arizona, Understood." She stated simply as she continued to follow Levi towards the combat Zone. <br><br>She would see it easily enough. the Glow of the battle was easily visible in the dim night sky. "Arizona, Arming primary turrets. Adjusting for Anti-Air Combat.." She informed Levi. The four turrets with the 14" guns swiveled, and the twelve cannons rose to elevation. "Arizona, Ready to commence Firing upon your command." Arizona informed Levi.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/kankore200/imgs/6/5/657cf172-s.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Musashi<br><strong>Location:</strong> Sand Island, Pacific Ocean<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Levi, Sikatuna, Open<br><br>------------------------------------------------<br><br>"Muashi, Understood." Musashi called out as the Admiral relayed his orders to them. She was rather excited as she hoped she could fire her big Guns once more. When she heard inform Levi that she was preparing her 14" Guns, Musashi squirmed with excitement. She can fire hers now! "This is Musashi. Loading type 3 Anti-Air Shells. Preparing for Bombardment." She called out to Levi. Like with Arizona, her turrets were moving, and traversing into a Firing solution. It was taking a bit cause of the size of her guns, but they had time. <br><br>In her waiting, Musashi flashed a smile, and a nod to Sikatuna in case the Destroyer was nervous. "You'll do fine." Musashi told her before a soft thump from her Outfit told her that her cannons were loaded. "Musashi, Cocked, Locked, and ready to Rock!" She sang out almost Jubilantly

Now she is even more nervous, knowing that combat was imminent.&nbsp; Musashi noticed this and gave the destroyer girl some encouraging pep talk along with a reassuring smile.&nbsp; “Yes!” she responded, nodding, perking up as her spirit improved.&nbsp; Now wearing a serious, determined look she announces to Levi her intentions.&nbsp; “Levi, ma’am!&nbsp; Requesting to take point and scan for possible enemy submersibles, ma’am?”&nbsp; In spite of the dark conditions her sharp eyes caught the scene in the air at the distance - an aerial battle between two fighters and a UFO.&nbsp; As if on instinct, the 40mm anti-air cannons on either side of her where swiveling and adjusting their trajectory, readying to take aim and take down the aerial threat.

At the signal from the Admiral, she nodded. "Message received and acknowledged, sir. Moving to engage air targets." she responded, and her various guns slowly tracked upwards and towards the target.<br><br>"So..... this is our enemy, is it?" she murmured to herself as she adjusted her glasses and studied her quarry. "Appearances would be deceiving, one would assume." she added, as her guns slowly adjusted for the rise and fall of the tide. "HMS <em>Hood</em>, ready to commence firing at your discretion, flagship." she signaled to Levi as soon as her guns were ready for action.

As the two fighters engaged it with lasers the ship girls could see (and hear) the UFO firing some strange type of sonic cannons at the ships, a sphere of energy shooting out at the fighters like a see through bubble up pain that carried with it a noticeable <strong><em>Waroomp</em></strong> with it. <br><br>The artificial ship girl held up a hand and seemed to wait for something. After another laser struck the UFO, a visible shimmer was running all across it as its shield went down and the fighters high tailed it out of there, their job done. Levi swung her hand down and shouted her rode. "Fire!"<br><br>She quickly plugged her ears with her two index fingers as she heard the other girls fire off their rounds more suited to this, the night sky was lit up by the girls rounds and she watched the ship carefully as it took multiple hits and flashed brightly from the rounds detonating on its armor. All the while she kept an eye out for any of the aliens should they decide to bail out. <br><br>But little did the shop girls know, that something was slowly rising from up beneath them from the dark, mysterious ocean depths. It was a group of aquatoids, small water born creatures that were part of the Alien/Abyss alliance.<br>(http://ufopaedia.org/images/1/1c/Aquatoid.png)<br>

For a moment, Arizona felt like they were watching an old 50's B-Sci-Fi Movie. She almost quipped about whether she should have brought popcorn or not. However, she kept her mouth shut, though the B-Movie jokes were rolling in her mind. <br><br>She awaited, along with the other girls for the right time. Through their breifings, and little training they got before being shipped off to Sand island. Arizona understood that a UFO's shields have to come down first before they can take out the saucer. <br><br>So when the shields came down, and Levi gave the command, Arizona brought all twelve of her 14" guns to bear. They all fired in a ripple fashion as the shells screamed towards the UFO. <br><br><div class="floatright">(http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/kankore200/imgs/6/5/657cf172-s.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Musashi<br><strong>Location:</strong> Several Miles off Sand Island<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> OPen<br><strong>Doing:</strong> Bringing the hurt.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Musashi was tracking the UFO with her 460cm guns, Type 3 munitions having been loaded, and all she needed was the Order to fire.

She much like Arizona thought it seemed like a bad Sci-Fi movie. The battle ship girl trained her 14 inch guns on the UFO and opened fire as it's shields fell. The shells were along with several others. The pink haired girl smiled as she watched the hail of shells smash into the flying unit. She like the others had no idea that there was an enemy slowly rising from the depths of the sea behind them.

One by one, each of her turrets fired their guns in a 'ripple fire' pattern, to try and get the range and elevation on the target. Out of all the battleship girls, her guns were the median, striking a balance between the huge 18-in monsters that <em>Musashi</em> wielded, and the more numerous but lighter 14-in guns on <em>Howe</em> and <em>Arizona</em>, with all that entailed. She then began to change her course slightly, to correct her fall of shot, and to evade return fire, if any was coming.
