Hi guys this is my first fanfic so please comment and review it you want to. And I do not own Kantai Collection.

Black. That was the only color that I could see all around me. My body felt cold and numb as if I had been dunked into an ice bucket numerous times. I shivered as I felt chills course through my body. It felt like I was floating in this empty space with no light or sounds to fill my ears. I curled into a ball and raked my brain trying to remember of how I ended up in this mess, but no matter how hard I tried I could not remember a thing.

"Well seems I'm stuck here with no idea where I am or how did I get here." I thought to myself.

I racked my brain again to try and remember anything, anything at all from my past, I couldn't even remember my name. But again my mind was completely blank and dark just like the area around me. Straightening out, I decided that I may as well just start walking in whatever direction that I felt like. As I put one foot out and tried to step, I somewhat fell over. I let out a startled cry but I didn't hit anything hard or a ground for that matter. As I recollected myself, I tried taking a step again but I had the same result. I tried this for what seemed like hours, until I realized that instead of me sitting, I was actually floating.

¨Well this is new." I thought to myself as I made a swimming motion, and felt myself glide forward.

Now with a new sense of travel I floated off into the darkness with no clear direction of where I was going. I floated around aimlessly in the darkness for what seemed like hours and by then I was growing extremely tired for I also had no sense of time in this place. Floating along, my eyes began to slowly begin to droop only to snap back awake at the most random times. Just as my eyes were too close, I saw in the distance a pinprick of light. I floated towards the light, blinking as to make sure that my eyes were not playing tricks on me. The light was still there and it was steadily growing larger, and even though i felt like I wasn't moving, I was gradually pulled into the light going faster and faster as I fell. I closed my eyes as the light began to blind me as it became as bright as the sun.

"Ahhhhhh!" I cried as I fell through the light.

Next thing I felt, was that I was falling at a rapid pace. Opening my eyes, I saw what looked like a port with a little ways back a large building that maybe looked like a headquarters, but at the moment that wasn't a major concern. Looking down, I realized I was rapidly approaching the harbor's waters. Curling into a all, I closed my eyes and plugged my nose as I awaited the inevitable impact. I crashed into the water like a type 3 shell slamming into a warship, making a tremendous splash that probably sent a plume of water at least 20 ft into the air. When I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry as I looked around, and saw a fish swim by my head. Gasping in surprise, I pushed off the bottom and flew to the surface. I breached the surface, startling a few seagulls that had decided to perch on the water above me. They flew away gawing like "screw you dude!"

Gasping for air, I looked around and began to take note of my surroundings.

"That's odd," I thought to myself as I slowly paddled to a shore next to the harbor, "this is a port yet why are there no ships at dock or going in or out?"

I puzzled over this as I dragged myself out of the water and onto a warm beach. I slowly crawled away trying to get as far away as I could from the water's edge. I reached a sidewalk path at the top of the beach and saw that it was empty, spare for a few birds that were hopping around the ground looking for food. By then I was exhausted, but i still needed to find some adequate shelter or at least a tree to lay under before my strength fully left me. Staggering to my feet, I hobbled along the beach looking for somewhere to lay down as the sun sank lower and lower into the sea. The light reflected off the water in an explosion of red and orange hues. A ways down the beach, I spotted a decent sized palm tree that was just the right size for me to sleep under. I collapsed under the tree and slowly turned myself over onto my back to stare up at the stars that were beginning to appear. I let my head sink into the sand and let the sound of the waves lull me to sleep.

My dreams were that night were to me very chaotic and I could make little sense of them. My dream was just a blur of colors that spun my head around in circles, giving me a headache in the dream. The only sounds I could hear was the droning of planes overhead and the constant explosions that pierced the background all around me. I heard shouting and yelling all around me with the sound of running feet and screams of agony coming from all different sides. My mind grew hazy as I felt my dream self fall to his knees and stare at the sky overhead, which billowed with inky black smoke. My dream self stared into the sky as blood began to drip down his face into his eye. At that instant I felt myself change perspective to being on the ground looking at the sky with hundreds of planes flying around, and every single one of them had a bright red circle on each wing. One of the planes, a white one dived straight towards my dream self and released a round cylindrical object that plummeted towards him. He got up and backed away from the impact point, but by then it was too late. I saw the object plunge into the ground in front of him, which right at that moment, my vision cleared and I could see that my dream self was standing aboard a ship and to my surprise I saw that my dream self was equipped with four turrets coming out of a pack I had on. I saw him look towards the sky and his mouth formed the words "FIRE!"

The guns exploded into a barrage but just at that moment, the bomb that had penetrated the deck exploded sending him flying over the side and sending my perspective to spiral out of control heading towards the water, and just before I hit the water, I looked up at the mast of the smoking ship and saw a stars and stripped flag.

I jolted awake and quickly sat up, but instead of hitting open space, my head crashed into something hard with a loud "THUD".

I grabbed my head and curled into a ball on the ground rolling back and forth, "owowowowowow!" I stammered as I rolled around.

"A-are you ok? I-i'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you!" A young voice said in a quivering voice.

I opened one eye and looked up, for a second the sun the morning sun blinded me. I blinked a few times, as my vision came into focus as I noticed that kneeling in front of me was a young girl who looked about 18 years of age. She wore a grey uniform with a short black skirt and on her head sat a grey hat with a black rim with up the middle two lines with naval camouflage colors on it. She had piercing green eyes and she wore a concerned look on her face, but she had a kind face that looked like . I looked at her forehead and saw an angry red mark where my head had slammed into her. She brushed one of her blind pigtails off her shoulder and looked right at me with those green eyes which I noticed seemed like she was about to cry, and I couldn't tell whether it was out of pain or guilt.

"No no I'm sorry it's not your fault, I just woke up," I said with a sheepish grin rubbing the back of my head.

She bowed her head at me with her hands on her knees, "I'm sorry…" she said again in a whimpering voice.

"No it's alright I'm not mad." I said trying to cheer up this girl.

She said nothing but kept her head bowed at me. I looked away as I was beginning to feel uncomfortable from this mysterious girl for as I came to realize at that moment I apparently had some trouble talking to girls, "especially cute ones," I thought to myself blushing a little.

"So umm what's your name?" I asked her in a quiet slightly embarrassed tone.

"E-eh!?" She said seeming to be a little startled that I was asking a question.

"What's your name?" I ask again.

"U-u-ummmm m-my name is uh…" she stammered seeming to be slightly embarrassed.

I stared at her as she seemed to be getting more and more flustered. She coughed and as if on a dime she became somewhat militaristic like. " My name is Prinz Eugen, Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser." She said with an authoritative voice, but I could tell she was a little timid by her reactions.

"Wait, wait wait wait, What do you mean that your name is Prinz Eugen, your saying your the name of a heavy cruiser from World War 2 who fought against the British with Bismarck!?"

"Well… I'm not named Prinz Eugen, but I'm actually the Prinz Eugen cruiser, and Bismarck is nee-sama to me." She said with a chirpy smile and expression spreading across her face.

I was shocked, for kneeling in front of me was this cute girl who apparently was a World War 2 heavy cruiser that had sunk years ago. Eugen didn't seem to notice my shock so she asked me "what's your name?"

I thought hard about her question but I still couldn't remember that one stupid piece about me! As I grew frustrated and red, Eugen noticed and began to laugh a little.

"Hahaha, whats with that face do you even know your own name?" She giggled, but her face turn to a look of confusion when I shook my head no," What do you mean no? You seriously don't even remember your name?"

"No sorry its just I don't really know how I got here, and another thing is how did you find me?" I asked her.

"Well you see, I was taking a morning stroll when I heard mumbling and groaning coming from the beach, so naturally curious I walked over to find u tossing and turning here and I was about to wake you up when you woke up and hit me." She said rubbing her forehead.

"Well it's also that I dont have any memories at all of my past I have no idea my name or what I am really." I said as I climbed to my feet.

"Well I can say that you are like me." She said standing up and brushing herself off.

"What do you mean exactly?" I asked clearly confused.

"I mean you're a fleetgirl though technically you are a male." She said as she looked me up and down.

"I'm a what!?" I cried out in surprise.

"You're the manifestation of a warship from the past and you're here to fight an enemy called the Abyssals." She said as her green eyes sparkled in the sun light.

"How do you know that im this so called fleet person?" I asked

"Because you have radio antennas sticking out of your hair and you also have a little plane on your shoulder." She said pointing at my shoulder and head.

I looked over at my shoulder and to my surprise sat a small blue plane that had a little girl sitting inside. The little girl gave me a thumbs up before taking off from my shoulder and flying off. At the same time I brought my hands to the top of my head, and to my surprise instead of touching hair, I touched cool metal.

"Hmmmm well by the looks of that plane I could say that you are either a cruiser or a battleship." Eugen said as she had a thoughtful expression on her face. "And that plane was a Kingfisher float plane so that would make you my guess either a British warship or an American warship, and here we have not had any of those here at all."

"Hold on, where exactly is here?" I asked.

"Well this here is the Naval district where other people like me and you attend school here." She said.

'You mean there are other people as ships here!?" I exclaimed.

"Yea there are destroyers, battleships, carriers, and cruisers here to." She said as she took hold of my hand.

"What are you doing?" I said beginning to blush.

"Come on classes are going to start and I'm going to take you to meet the Admiral and Bismarck nee-sama, oh she's going to be so happy when she meets you!" Eugen said with a squeal.

The next thing I know I'm being dragged by this girl towards the school as it begins to wake up and girls start milling around.

"Oh boy," I gulped as I prepared for what lied ahead.
