Chapter 4: Going on a mission

General POV

That Sunday Andy decided to pull for new ships in case they may be needed, he had enough for a Capital Ship or 2 and a single Destroyer/Light Cruiser. So Andy went to the summoning station at the center of his base.

The station looked like a slot machine but instead of 3 rollers in the center it was a single screen and on the left were 6 pods that were 7 feet high, there were also 2 slots, one for cubes and another for cards to speed up construction.

Andy: "Alright, let's see what we get." he said.

Antonio Luna: "Maybe we can get someone who can rival Missouri and Yamato." she suggested.

Andy: "Doubt it." he said simply, "But we can pray."

Antonio Luna: "Right." she said.

Andy put 2 of the cubes onto the station and pulled a lever, the timer was promising at over 4 hours so Andy inserts a card into the machine and speeds up construction to now, the closest pod glows a bright blue before a human figure formed roughly Luna's height but with much bigger riggings.

Warspite: "Greetings, I'm Warspite. I hold the record for the longest ranged hit on a moving target." she said.

Andy: "Holy shit..." he cussed in surprise.

Warspite: "Surprised?" she asked, stepping out of the pod.

Antonio Luna: "Yeah you're....way shorter than we thought you'd be." she stated.

Warspite: "Looks like we need to have a long talk..." she said, grabbing her sword slightly annoyed.

Andy: "Don't threaten my secretary please." he begged.

Warspite: "....very well Commander." she sighed, sheathing her sword, "Do you have any commands as of this moment?"

Andy: "Other than at ease and you're free to explore, none at the moment." he said.

Warspite bowed and thanked Andy before going off on her way to explore. Andy then put another 2 cubes in and pulled the lever, the timer said 3 hours this time. He put another card in before the pod glowed bright blue once again, before a much taller figure appeared.

Admiral Hipper: "Huh? You are the commander? Is the war effort going so poorly these days that they're letting anyone become a commander?" she said in her tsundere way.

Antonio Luna: "There isn't a war going on bitch." she shot back.

Andy: "Easy Luna." he said, "As for you Hipper, if I upgrade you, will you work hard and help me take down Eugen?"

Admiral Hipper: "Hell yes sir!" she yelled eagerly, "But not because I like you....asshat!"

Andy: "Works for me." he said, brushing it off, "Go explore, I'll work on getting you to fighting shape once I get some crates open."

Hipper nodded before walking away, glaring at Andy.

Antonio Luna: "That bitch's gonna be a difficult one." she said.

Andy: "I know, but let's make the most out of her." he said.

Luna nodded as Andy pocketed his last cube before making his way over to Akashi's store, coupon in hand to spite the capitalistic cat. He double, triple, and even quadruple-checked the expiry dates before walking up.

Akashi: "Ah, Commander Andy, how many coupons are you giving me this time?" she asked.

Andy: "My last 3 admittedly." he said, "The others have already been used."

Akashi: "Oh thank the lords!" she said.

Andy rolled his eyes before placing his last 3 coupons down, all 3 gave him 2x Super Rare Crates, 9x Uncommon Crates, and 11x Common Crates.

Akashi went into the back and grabbed the crates before putting them on the counter.

Akashi: "Anything else Shikikan?" she asked.

Andy: "Hm..." he hummed, looking through the selection of items before coming on something, "Gimme the blueprints for Georgia."

Akashi: "Yes sir!" she said, grabbing the blueprint before giving it to him, "That'll be-."

Andy: "5,000 coins, you got it." he said, cutting her off and giving her the desired amount.

Akashi: "Pleasure doing business nya~!" she said.

Andy grabbed his purchases....and immediately called for help. A few minutes later Alex came over.

Alex: "Jesus Christ man, I know you wanna beat me back but this is excessive." he said, coming to help.

Andy: "Not really, your fleet essentially ragdolled mine; I mean I barely had Arizona alive, Akagi and Kaga were gone, my Vanguard was carried by Luna, and you only lost Laffey." he said, struggling to pull a cart, "My fleet and I've agreed to work our asses off over the weekend."

Alex rolled his eyes before getting behind the cart and acting as Andy's banker. The 2 males hauled the cart of supplies to Andy's base. Once they got there they pulled the cart into the docks where Andy's fleet was waiting.

Akagi: "Shikikan-Sama!~" she called as the Commanders came to a stop.

Akagi then collided in a hug with Andy before he could start unloading the crates and blueprints.

Andy: "Hi Akagi." he greeted, giving her headpats.

Alex: "I see you have new ships." he noted.

Andy: "Yup, summoned them just this morning, it's where most of these things are gonna go." he replied.

Akagi hissed at Alex for getting too close.

Alex: "I shall take my leave." he said, turning around.

Andy waved him goodbye.

Andy: "Now, let's get this stuff out of their crates and onto your ships." he said.

Andy's Fleet: "Yes sir!/Jawhol!/Hai!" they saluted before helping him with the crates.

As they did Spee noticed the blueprint.

Graf Spee: "Kommandant? What's this?" she asked.

Andy: "That's gonna be our answer to Yamato." he replied, "I'll explain later."

Spee nodded and put the blueprint to the side as they finished unloading the crates. Andy proceeded to start opening them.

He started with 2 of the Super Rare crates, opening them he was able to get a Twin 203 mm (SK C/34) for Hipper and a Triple 406 mm (BL 16" Mk 1) for Warspite.

Warspite: "Thanks for the new equipment sir." she said.

Admiral Hipper: "Fuck you baka!" she yelled.

Andy: "You're welcome you 2, but we're not done just yet." he said, getting 3 of the rare crates while the other crates were put away.

Out of them he got a rare 533 mm Quad Homing Torpedo mount for Hipper, a Twin 134 mm (QF Mk 2) for Warspite, and a Twin 128 mm (SK C/41) for Hipper.

Warspite: "Thank you again Commander." she said.

Admiral Hipper: "....baka." she said simply.

Andy: "Love ya too Hipper." he shot back at her cheekily.

Hipper blushed and pouted with the fleet chuckling at her.

Andy: "Now, as for the blueprint you found earlier Spee." he said.

Andy grabbed the rolled up piece of paper and unrolled it revealing the Georgia's schematics.

Andy: "She'll be just as fast as an Iowa with much bigger guns able to rival Yamato." he said.

Antonio Luna: "She'll be powerful alright." she said.

Arizona: "She's not gonna replace anyone, is she?" she asked.

Andy: "No, she'll join our fleet just like Warspite and Hipper have." he said, " But she'll be a pain in the ass to save up for so we have to grind hard for resources."

Cleveland: "Anything to help out sir!" she said.

Akagi: "Anything to watch our enemies drown in their blood, burning in the heat of a thousand suns." she said, plotting the demise of Alex's entire fleet.

Admiral Hipper: "She needs help." she said simply.

Andy + Antonio Luna: "Yeah." they agreed.

A little later Andy was in the school which doubled as a main center of operations he walked up to a 40 inch touchscreen. There were many missions to be taken which detail levels, opponents, warnings, rewards, time limits, and if the mission was taken or not.

The situation of the world was rather good however, there had been a massive war against the Siren a few years prior, when Andy and Alex were still 12 and 13. At the time Siren fleets numbered in the hundreds and even the best Shipgirls struggled to keep up.

When class went into session however, the Sirens had been repelled with only a small remnant of the alien fleets left. The students would regularly take their fleets out to take out he remains permanently to keep their girls in shape. Even a single Cruiser on their lonesome could take out an entire fleet.

Andy kept in mind that the highest leveled ship in his fleet was a tie between his 3 Vanguards who were all Levle 10's. Andy finally came up to a group of missions he thought would be easy enough for him and his fleet to grind with.

After accepting the missions Andy ran to his base and rallied his girls.

Andy: "Alright girls, as you know we have to beat Alex's fleet so among the best ways to level up is to grind missions." he said, "So I've accepted a few missions so we can get our levels up."

Cleveland: "Alright! Let's give ourselves a work out!" she said, excitedly.

Antonio Luna: "Alright then sir. What's our formation?" she asked.

Andy: "Ok, here's what I got, Luna; you're in the lead, use you RADAR to scan ahead and be our main line of defense, Cleveland, Spee; you're on the sides, keep the center from flanking attacks of any kind, Hipper; you're on our stern, keep us safe from back there." he started ordering.

Admiral Hipper: "...fine..." she pouted.

Antonio Luna: "Alright we're seeing action!" she celebrated.

Cleveland and Spee celebrated with Luna, ready to see actual battle.

Andy: "As for the center, I'll be in the Steve Irwin in the middle of Akagi and Kaga, Warspite and Arizona; you flank the carriers and get ready to snipe targets." he finished ordering.

Arizona: "Yes sir!" she saluted.

Warspite: "Sounds fair." she said.

Akagi: "You won't regret this Shikikan-Sama!~" she said.

Kaga hummed as everyone started their engines.

Andy: "Alright, let's go." he said, determined.

A few hours later, Andy was aboard the Irwin as his fleet roared off towards the South China Sea, noting Alex's fleet sortieing themselves. They didn't know that was the last they would see of Alex and his fleet for 2 weeks.

The ships continued sailing at 16 odd knots...since Irwin was terribly slow compared to the others, even the Arizona was faster than him. But they managed to make it to the AO and got into range.

Andy: "Ok Break! Cleveland, Spee; stay with 1st Carrier, Akagi, Kaga; launch attack aircraft, relay positions and bearings to Arizona and Warspite, Luna; call out any enemies the planes may miss, everyone else, get ready for AA combat and stick with Ari and Warspite!" he ordered.

Andy's Fleet: "Copy that!/Wilco!/Ryokai!/Jawhol!" they saluted.

The formation did precisely as he ordered, allowing the 2 Carriers to gather speed for launch as the 2 Battleships took a turn to Port to allow all their guns to fire.

Akagi: "Our planes have spotted the enemies, aim for bearing 0-3-0, distance 2-3-1 miles, wind speed 2 knots." she relayed.

Warspite: "Copy that Akagi." she said, "Ready Arizona?"

Arizona: "Ready as ever Warspite!" she replied.

The 2 Battleships aimed their main guns in the general direction Akagi pointed at before firing loudly. American and British shells flew through the air and raced out of sight, a few seconds later Kaga radios in.

Kaga: "You've bracketed the Battleship, aim 2 degrees to the left for a hit!" she reported.

The battleship turrets rotate slightly before Arizona fires again, way before Warspite could roar herself.

Antonio Luna: "Caution! Enemy fighters roaring in!" she called out.

Andy: "Prepare for Anti-Air combat!" he ordered, "No risks!"

Flak and tracer filled the sky as a small squadron of 10 or so Siren Mk. 2's roared into view. 5 were immediately taken out by flak, 3 were taken out by CIWS, but 2 made it through and targeted the Irwin.

Andy: "Taking evasive action!" he called, "Luna, gimme some help over here!"

Antonio Luna: "On it!" she said.

Luna locked onto the fighters attacking Andy and fire 2 SAMs which hit true and shot them down. Cleveland then radioed in.

Cleveland: "Confirmed hit, light em up!" she called.

Warspite: "Roger that!" she said, "FIRING!!"

Warspite and Arizona opened up on the enemies, throwing everything they had at the fleet.

Arizona's shells blew up the battleship, whose explosion blew up the first carrier...whose explosion crippled the rest of the fleet which Cleveland and Spee took advantage of closing the gap and gunning down the remaining ships with assistance from Dive Bombers and Torpedo Bombers.

Cleveland: "All ships sunk Commander." she said.

Andy: "Good job, next mission's up in Alaska so let's go!" he said.

What followed was 2 days worth of grinding before Andy's fleet came back into port with orange barrels, hastily repaired planes, a few battle scars, and a bunch of dents.

Andy: "Whoo! What a rush!" he said, tying the Irwin up.

Akagi: "I can already feel Alex's fleet struggling under me." she said.

Antonio Luna: "I feel so much stronger!" she added.

Cleveland: "Thanks for the extra pointers with the sword Warspite, they helped a lot." she thanked.

Warspite: "You're welcome little knight." she said with a small bow.

Graf Spee: "Need a few more improvements to jaw strength..." she mused.

Admiral Hipper: "Ja, ja....BUT TURN IT DOWN DURING TRAINING!!" she scolded.

Andy: "Alright girls, turn in for the night." he said, "We have a busy day tomorrow and a chance at redemption."

Andy's Fleet: "Yes sir!" they saluted.

With that, the screen faded to black.

A/N: Alright dieHero, your turn. Also are there other schools like this one scattered across the globe like the case for Hogwarts or Beacon or something? Cause maybe there's a story to be had there.
