Not himmels but downneck and crimson can also see blagoj's and barri's stats. But they could also see skippy's and Helens stats as well as abilities so can blagoj and barri. Himmels of course picked up the speed but still not being able to go fast considering he is towing downneck but he got there eventually.

Himmels: "Barri blagoj I don't know whether to be surprised or not considering how I just got Crim and downy." He spoke you the two

Barri: "Well it is a surprise but I kinda expected something less of a wolf boy." He said seemingly with little emotion.

Himmels: "Ok one says the cat boy and two kinda expected a different voice." He said to barri as he just shrugged.

Blagoj: "It's a surprise to see you too himmels even though skippy told us you were here." He stated to himmels.

Crimson: "So then um can you now explain why we are here?" She asked the important question.

Barri: "Can you also tell us how everything works as well cause it seems like you guys know everything." He told them.

Himmels: "Yea I guess it is time then me and skippy will be explaining it considering how one of us," he gestures to helens who's asleep with a oxy cola in hand, "is a male version of laffey."

Now this didn't surprise anyone helens is one of the most laziest and the most sleepy in the server or at least rp's that he's asleep most of time. So skippy and himmels got on to explaining the basics of why they were here and what they had to do. This was easy to explain to them just the casual save azur lane from unexpected things no biggie. But now was the hard part explaining how everything works.

Himmels: "Ok so from seeing now I believe you guys already know how to turn your turrets, move your ship, fire your guns and how to do basic ship things correct." He said to the four newbies who nodded confirming he was right.

Skippy: "And I'm guessing you guys know how to turn your ship into rigging form?" He asked them who nodded.

Himmels: "Then lets see them." He stated.

Just like when himmels, skippy and Helens went to their riggings the same happened to the others the ship turning into cubes and latching on to them. Barri's rigging at least to himmels was expected since he was a Harugumo class he was basically just an upgraded Akizuki class. The only difference to the Akizuki class in this world is that he had one extra gun on his left side.

Crimson and downneck has no changes compared to the actual Kirov class that was in this world.

But blagoj over had something different he other course had all of his guns but it seemed he had a bit more bulk to his rigging as well as a surplus of Bofors spread around it.

Himmels and skippy nodded at their riggings somewhat studying it a bit. It was the movement part now and let's just say that was a shit show. Since barri is a destroyer he had to control his speed a bit, crimson and downneck had gotten the movement down but had to control their actually rigging and blagoj he to control what guns he wanted to fire. But pretty soon they got the hang of it still somethings had to be improved but right now it will do.

Himmels: "I don't think I need to explain experience right?" He asked them which they gave a bit of a confused look at him.

Skippy: "let's give them the basics again." He said to himmels which he gave a nod to.

Himmels: "Experience ya know where the more ya do it the better you get," he said which they nodded and remembered, "the same to apply to everything we do with our ships each time we fire gun it slowly gets a faster reload and accuracy, the more we turn the faster we turn and the more we take damage the faster and easier it is to repair it."

Skippy: "And as you can see we also have a auto repair for example downneck's bow had a hole from a torpedo but I don't really see it anymore and his ship wasn't listing forward as much." He explained.

Skippy was right the damage that was done to downneck had somewhat healed and repaired. He wasn't losing health and wasn't taking on water so he was alright for now.

Skippy: "Those are the basics of what we can do and how we can do it." He said to them.

Himmels was silent almost thinking in a way and everyone expect Helens can see it.

Skippy: "What are you thinking about himmels?" He asked looking at the wolf boy.

Himmels: "Well if we are going to get more peopl in our fleet we may need some type of command don't we." He stated to skippy.

Skippy: "Your kinda right I mean we already have like about seven people here and who knows how many more we would get." He said thinking as well.

Then himmels had an idea maybe not a good one but an idea none the less.

Himmels: "Lets do it by classes or by types like since you, me and Helens were here first then we should be the leaders or at least until we decide on who else to be a leader." He explained to them.

Skippy: "Ok so we become the leaders but who do we command?" He questioned himmels idea."

Himmels: "well as I said our class and types you command the capital ships more specifically the battlecruisers, battleships and carriers, I command the cruisers and Helens commands the smaller ships even though I feel like that's a bad idea." He explained his idea further.

Skippy: "Well that does seem like a good idea maybe a few flaws but I guess it's good for now," He agreed with himmels idea, "But let's hope we get someone who will probably command the smaller ships better then helens can."

Himmels nodded with a sweat drop as they look at the sleeping boy who was holding two oxy colas in each han- wait didn't he only had one ya know what nevermind it's helens. Everyone turned their riggings into ship and got in formation with the help of himmels.

The formation had to change with the new ships now in the fleet. Blagoj, himmels, downneck and crimson were in the middle in a square formation around skippy if you looked at the fleet from above. Skippy was in middle, blagoj was on the top right, himmels on the top left, Downneck was bottom left and Crim was bottom right. Helens was in the middle front of the fleet above himmels and blagoj while barri was behind the fleet below crimson and downneck. One cargo ship was placed in between blagoj and Crim while the other was in between himmels and downneck. The rest of the four mass production destroyers were placed on the four corners of the fleet.

Our supplies were mostly replenished thanks to the cargo ships but it was the time to return to base. But as they got at least halfway there something happened that it was a warning but it surprised himmels, skippy and even woke up helens.

Mission 2:
Boss fight

Description:
The sirens have designed a new ship it seems to be a prototype though. It's design is similar to the ship known as shikashima or the A-150 battleship better known as the super yamato. It seems they plan on testing it against the Royal Navy who will never be ready for this monster. It's your job to defeat this massive beast it does not deserve the title of the beast made of steel.

Objective:
Destroy

Enemy:
1 super yamato battleship

Reward:
Better armor and gun research

Extra:
This will ultimately reveal you to the sirens and defense mission will now be active.
—————————————————————————

This got skippy, himmels and surprisingly Helens somewhat serious. This is a boss fight against a ship that has 6 51cm, 20.1 inch guns that will go through everyone's armor like butter. The only good thing is that most likely it will overpenetrate and do little damage to most of us. But we had to make it where we have the advantages down himmels had the greatest idea.

Himmels: "Skippy launch your all of you Me 262's only and search for the shikashima when you fond it make a storm and send the Ju-87's on it while me, helens, barri, crimson and downneck move in and launch our torpedos at it as well as possibly setting a few fires while blagoj will be giving us long range fire support." He started barking (hate myself for saying that) out orders.

Now of course downy, Crim and blagoj didn't really know what himmels was planning with this it seemed more like a suicide mission then anything. Getting in range of those guns is not something they should do. Helens and barri was also questioning a bit but they instantly wanted to help. Skippy had somewhat of an idea of what himmels was planning it was risky but what else can they do.

So with that skippy launched all of his 10 Me 262's to scout for the shikashima and it wasn't long before they found it. Right when he spotted it he pointed out where the boss was.

Skippy: "Okay found it lucky enough it's straight ahead of us," He said and pointed in the direction of the boss, "you will be able to see the storm as well."

He was right everyone can see the storm now knowing where the boss but then himmels had a thought and looked at downy and Crim. More specifically at their health and how much damage their ships took. Then he looked at everyone's ability and had gotten a riskier idea that just might work.

Himmels: "Ok blagoj with your ability are you able to see its weakness from here?" He asked blagoj hoping he gets a good answer.

Blagoj: "Sadly not I need to actually see the ship to find its weakness." He answered himmels

Himmels: "Launch your seaplanes that should help." He told blagoj who nodded an launched a seaplane towards the shikashima.

Himmels: "And make sure it's either out of sight or out of range of the shikashima's AA guns." He stated as well.

In about a few minutes blagoj found out the shikashima's weakness since it still had the Yamato hull it still had some of the Yamato's weakness. One of its weaknesses was its speed it could only go at 27 knots not only that but its best defense against aircraft and other smaller ships are its dual purpose secondary guns.

Himmels: "Ok Helens, barri, Crim, downneck we will start moving full speed at the boss while skippy will be giving us fog cover whenever the boss gets in your gun range only fire HE and aim for the secondary guns if you can then when it gets in range of your torpedoes dump them," he turned towards Crim, "Crim your going to be staying near me theres only going to be thing the shikashima will do and that's dodge the torpedoes and when it does we will be waiting."

After he explains his plan but never actually saying what this will they went along with it of course wondering why himmels said for Crim to be with him. But then they remembered her ability and knew what himmels was planning. The five of them went towards the shikashima barri and Helens turned their ships into riggings and went ahead as well as putting down a smokescreen. This further helped them have cover. Himmels, downneck and crimson stayed as their ships following the destroyers in the fog. Blagoj moves in a bit as well and with the help of the seaplane that was still up fires on the shikashima most of his shells missed only about 3 hit and they did penetrate but didn't hit anything critical.

The boss didn't have a health bar so that means it would be destroyed like any other ship they encountered. The shikashima slowly turned its guns towards blagoj who immediately went into evasive actions. At this point skippy's Ju-87's started to come down and bomb the ship who had to turn a bit to evade some of the bombs. Luckily the bombs still hit and took out some of top dual purpose guns that's when the shikashima fires and the roar of those shells being fired shook the ones close.

But a part of himmels plans worked with the combination of the storm and the shikashima turning to evade the bomb run caused its accuracy to deplete missing all of its shells with one nearly scrapping the top of blagoj's guns. That's when himmels, downneck and crimson were able to fire on the ship with HE rounds.

Himmels shots were accurate then the other two cause of his experience but they still hit none the less and about half of the shells that hit caused some fires and also took out some of the shikashima's AA sadly none of the secondary's nor the dual purpose guns were destroyed. With the shikashima now knowing something was in the smoke aimed its guns their but was still reloading so it started to fire it's secondary guns.

Downneck and crimson start to take evasive actions but himmels didn't. With the storm the secondary guns were also inaccurate only the 100mm, 3.9 in guns were able to hit himmels but only bounced off his bow armor. Blagoj switched to HE and fires on the shikashima again hitting a bit more with about 5 shells hitting it and only one causing a fire. Helens and barri were close enough to start firing on it with their rapid reloading guns. Helens fire rate was almost equal to barri's cause of experience but was still slower.

With their guns firing HE at a fast pace they were able to set fires left and right. The best part was they took out all of the 100mm's on one side of the shikashima. They were also now in range of torpedoing the it which they did and immediately started to retreat. But the shikashima was reloaded and fires on them again it missed not just from the storm but also the fact that helens and barri has a small figure to actually hit.

Helens: "Torpedoes were dropped and heading back." He said as he and barri passed by the three cruisers.

Himmels: "Thanks now it's our turn," he turned towards to the two russians, "ok you two we must focus down the more heavier secondary guns we wil never be able to take out those main guns now turn starboard I mean right and launch torpedoes."

As soon as himmels said that he turned hard starboard with downy and Crim. As soon as they were able to they launched their torpedoes at the shikashima. In total the first wave of torpedoes would be about 11 torpedoes while the second wave would be about 18 torpedoes. The shikashima seeing the first wave turned into them the first wave taking with about 6 hitting it the second wave had gotten 8 hits on it. But the shikashima was right where himmels wanted it heading straight for the three cruisers.

Himmels: "Crim your ability use it now." He told Crim who did after a while.

Smiles grenades were launched giving more cover for them as the shikashima headed into the smoke thinking it would wither ram or be able to find the ships shooting at it. But all it could find were three torpedoes that hits bow as well as it hitting about 12 mines. This rocked the shikashima as it was hit with another array of shells from blagoj who sadly missed most because of the shikashima being in a smoke screen. But skippy didn't miss with his Ju-87's coming back and bombing the shikashima.

The shikashima was now listing on its starboard bow taking on water as well as having fires all over it which it surprisingly repaired and put out.

It will still take a lot to take it fully down though as it turned the best it can towards the fleet exiting the smokescreen. But at this point the three cruisers were behind it and firing on its rudders and engine area. Sadly they were close to where the triple 15.5cm gun could fire on them and do some damage. Luckily it was focusing on himmels since he was the closest and easiest to hit. While the shells did penetrate his armor they didn't hit anything critical.

As the shikashima was heading for the fleet barri and Helens turned back on their ships with the fog covering them. Once they got close the fog was also covering the shikashima giving it low visibility. What they were doing was pure luck and straight maddening which earned them greatly. The two destroyers went right up close on each side of the ship practically replaying the battle of Guadalcanal where they. They were literally about 20 feet next to the shikashima raking the bridge and destroying the dual purpose guns on that side.

It was an amazing thing to see as the shikashima fired again at blagoj which did hit him but with his evasive actions it went through the bow. Everyone else joined in on the craziness blagoj was firing AP this time penetrating but not hitting anything important, the three cruisers were focusing down where the AA and some guns were while skippy planes stayed out of the fire while strafing the shikashima.

But then something bad happened as Helens and barri passed by shikashima one of its aft main guns had trained on them. It fired going through one of barri's main guns and into helens causing two explosions. Barri's ship was on fire at his bow and Helens engine exploded. It seems that Helens was using his ability too much trying to take the least amount of damage from the mass array of fire the shikashima's secondary's and smaller weaponary were putting out.

They weren't sinking but they will need help luckily the two were still conscious enough to get their ships in rigging form but the damage could be seen. Helens and barri both had slight burns on them as well as some of their guns being destroyed. Helens could barely move as seen from his legs being a bit burned and on fire as well. Downneck was the first to get to them with him changing his ship into his rigging and rushing over. Crimson was next to get there checking on barri while also checking to his heath and it wasn't good.

———————————————————————————
Helens: 56% health (-5% every 30 minutes)
Barri: 60% health (-3% every 30 minutes)
———————————————————————————

What's worse was the fact that that the shikashima was turning all of its guns at them even with blagoj and skippy doing the best they can to distract it. But it kept on turning towards them and pretty soon it was locked on to them as the shells can heard loading. They were way to close to dodge and even if they did they would still take some crippling damage.

The shells were fired and made their way to the group of ships as if slow motions he shells made there way. A bright flash was seen as several sounds were heard.

THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK

A few minutes of not feeling pain the four slowly opens their eyes to see what happened and all they saw was a massive ship. Next thing they knew the stats were pulled up for it and what they saw surprised them.
