The Muse in me has started up again. LET'S GET THIS BREAD!

Admiral's Office

"Roll for initiative." The Admiral said, sitting behind a small cardboard trifold.

"What did I encounter?" Admiral Raeder-Donitz asked.

"Roll a perception check, then you'll see."

"What about initiative?" Admiral Hikari signed.

"Oh yeah, roll for that RD." The Admiral corrected.

"But I wanna see the monsters." Admiral RD said.

"No."

"No."

"I roll for a perception check."

"Nagato, you can't roll for a perception check before we roll for initiative." The Admiral said.

"She gets to roll for perception?"

"No, you big dunce. She's being weird."

"Damn, I'm gonna roll to screw whatever we encountered." Admiral RD stated defiantly.

"You did that with the last monster." The Admiral said. "You can't-"

"I rolled a Nat 20."

"The monster you encounter is a Mimic." The Admiral said bluntly.

"And?"

"It gives you a painful BJ. You lose 2 health."

"Dammit, it wasn't worth it! Why didn't you stop me?" Admiral RD asked the Admiral.

"I don't know, I was trying my damndest." He responded.

"Oh blow me."

"Something already did." Admiral Hikari chuckled silently.

The doors to the office burst open, the left one falling off its hinges. "Guys! Iowa and-what was your name again? Oh, right-Anastasia are here!" Elli shouted.

"My door…" The Admiral whimpered.

"Oh please, Jap-miral. I'm sure Kongou was gonna break it down eventually. She was always talking about breaking the door and then your pelvis someday in the future." Iowa said as she walked in. "Ooo, playing some D and D now, are we?"

"Hello, Admirals Hikari, Raeder-Donitz, and...Jap-miral?" Anastasia said, unsure if she was correct.

"Two out of three." The Admiral sighed. "Just call me the Admiral."

"Okay, Admiral Admiral."

"Just...one Admiral is fine."

"Anastasia. Good to see Rusky and Boris haven't caught you." Admiral RD greeted. "Nice to have you here for the mission."

"It is good to have the chance to shoot Abyssals again." Anastasia greeted him in return. "I should guess that the H43 sisters are here?"

"Not here right now, but they joined us on the trip here before being deployed with an IJN ship."

"The one that has been making world headlines for being tough and weird?" Anastasia asked. "I've seen his…domestic activities...can't say I'm impressed."

"Oh, you should see him in bed." Montana said, walking into the office. "Who broke it this time?"

"Elli." The three admirals said in unison.

"Hey!"

"Ruhe." Montana said, surprising everyone. "What?"

"You know that word?" Admiral RD asked.

"H44 taught me a little bit of german before he left." Montana shrugged. "I'm not great or proficient by any means, but I know basic terms and whatever H44 shouts when we're in the throes of passion and he's about-"

"Ruhe." Admiral RD said, covering his ears. "I don't need to know what the biggest ship in our naval force is doing with one of the strongest battleships of the same force."

"Okay." Montana said.

Admiral RD lowered his hands, sighing. "Okay, so now that you are all here-"

"He's fucking me, hard." Montana interrupted.

"GOTTVERDAMMT!" Admiral RD shouted.

"There goes our one F-word pass." Admiral Hikari sighed.

"Relax, we can always go to 'M' and get infinite more." Montana said.

"But then the author has to write the sex scenes!" The Admiral exclaimed. "We can't have that!"

"What the hell are they talking about?" Iowa asked Anastasia and Kongou.

"Fourth-dimensional warp fuckery." Elli mumbled. She turned to Montana. "You had to rub it in?"

"It's my victory, let me claim it."

Admiral RD looked to Montana as well. "What did I say?"

Montana shrugged her shoulders.

"You little…" Admiral RD sighed. "Nevermind it, we should focus on what is actually happening. H44, Elise, and Jade haven't been in contact with us."

"WHAT!?" Montana, Elli, and Kongou shouted.

Somewhere in Sector Nacht

H44 was having a bad time.

First, he had woken up in a strange cell. His outfit was gone, his radar confiscated, and his clothes replaced with orange pants and no shirt or shoes. He had no contact with Elise or Jade, or anyone else for that matter. He was tempted to break out, but the bars were sturdy.

His cell wasn't anything terrible, it looked like a normal jail cell. A grey room with a bunk bed, but a seperate room for a bathroom.

H44 kinda wished he had a TV.

The door in front of his bars opened, and H44 tensed up. He expected to see some kind of Abyssal torture monster, what he got was...weird.

What walked in was a Albino japanese female with long silver white hair and blood red eyes. She wore a red and white shrine maiden kimono top, a snow white belt like obi around the waist that was connected by a black sash across the chest with a red and black dragon along with red hakama trousers, brown geta sandals, and a red and white ribbon on the right side of the sash tied in a knot, holding the obi and sash together.

"Oh shit." H44 said. "What..who are you?"

The female regarded him with cold eyes. H44, who was currently sitting, stood up. He was taller than her by half a head. That deterred the female, who backed away.

H44 noticed marks on the female's neck. "Hmm…" He leaned forward, making the female walk back a little more. "You are a mute?"

The female nodded, all confidence she had before completely gone.

"Then do me a favor: go grab someone who can speak. I got some choice words for them."

The female nodded once more, and left.

H44 sighed, and grabbed the bars of his cell. He gave them a shake, and found them unmoving. "Well shit."

"Language." H44 turned to look back at the doorway, seeing another figure. The figure was a caucasian Japanese female with shoulder length reddish-brown hair tied in a messy ponytail and chocolate brown eyes. She wore a red and white furisode kimono that hung off her shoulders, which have a dark blue double-lined trim with a silver gray obi belt tied on the back and exposed a sleeveless gray and red leotard vest. A pink and white obi belt was around her waist, white hakama trousers, and she wore brown geta sandals with a cherry blossom design.

"Who are you?" H44 questioned.

"I am Shima." She answered.

"Okay, any relation to Mute?"

"Mute is my sister, Yuki." Shima snarled. "You will do well to respect us."

H44 grabbed a bar with each of his hands, and ripped them from their foundations. He walked out of his cage and stood right in front of Shima. "Come again?"

Shima stood face to face with H44. "You don't scare me."

H44 stayed silent, but relented. "Alright then. I'm H44."

Yuki fainted. Shima stood wide eyed at H44. "I'm sorry...you wouldn't happen to be the one that's been raiding Abyssal bases in the area near us, would you? The one who all Abyssals fear?"

"I wouldn't say they fear me, more like they do everything in their power to get away from me." H44 said. "Why?"

Shima went over and picked her sister up. "Stay here. I need to get someone." Shima dragged Yuki out of the room, leaving a bewildered H44. He looked around his new area, the walls were concrete with some moss growing on the ceiling. No windows, some ventilation, and it smelled like salt water in here.

The door opened, and Shima walked in again. "Change of plans, come with me."

Somewhere else

Elise and Jade stood in a forest, next to a circle of sand that outlined a map of the world. Elise seemed mesmerized by it, while Jade was wondering when the crazy lady was gonna give them H44 back. Well, the other one was normal-ish.

"So you guys are from the...Kreegsmarina?" Trude asked.

The small girl, Trude, standing next to Jade was only 5' 5", and was a caucasian German female with snow white pale skin, long silver blonde hair, and blood red eyes. She wore a red and black ribbon in the middle of her hair, a long white and black gothic victorian dress with the Ironblood flag around her neck, a black steampunk corset over her dress, black stockings on both legs and underneath the dress, and red and black steel-toed boots.

"Close, Kriegsmarine." Jade answered. "And where are you from?"

"I don't know."

Jade also found out Trude was a very sheltered shipgirl. Who knew?

"Trude, why don't you run off and go find Shinano? She wanted to meet our guests, I believe." The taller shipgirl said.

Trude nodded, and ran off into the foliage. "Cute girl." Jade complimented.

"You should see her in battle." The other shipgirl said.

This girl, Konigin, was a caucasian German female with long curly golden brown hair and emerald green eyes. She wore a golden and silver encrusted tiara with a sapphire and ruby in the center atop of her head, a short ornate dark black robe around her neck with the Ironblood flag on the back, a black and white gothic lolita dress with a red and white steampunk corset on top of the dress, long ornate black gloves on both hands extending all the way up her arms, and low heeled and steel-toed black steampunk boots. She seemed only a little shorter than H44, probably.

"Well, we might." Elise said, not looking up from the map. "You got incoming. They'll be here by tomorrow."

"Well, they come when they come." Konigin said, cryptically.

Jade's eye twitched, Konigin had a fetish for speaking in riddles. She was ready to leave, the mission was complete and that was that. Before she could ask for the umpteenth time where H44 was, the foliage ruffled, and H44 stepped out. His normal clothing was back, and he was looking at his radar tablet. "Sup?"

"H44! You're okay!" Elise shouted. "Look! We found-"

"Rogue shipgirls, got it Elise. Not a big fan of them so far."

Elise deflated. "I know you didn't like the mission but come on…"

"Never mind this. The fates have aligned-"

H44 rolled his eyes so hard he fell over. "Oh god, a riddler."

"I'll speak normally."

H44 stood up. "Thanks."

Konigin resumed what she was saying. "I am Konign, second in command of this little faction."

"H44, leader of this little search party." H44 said, while Elise shouted "Hey!" in dismay.

"Charming. The Abyssal Slayer." Konign said. "I imagined more green and a shotgun."

"He has HE shells." Jade interjected.

"Works too."

H44 blinked. "Wait, they call me the Abyssal Slayer?"

"Yes, I believe it's a play on words of-" Konigin began, but was shut up when two figures emerged from the foliage. One was Trude. The other was a new one.

"Who are you?" Trude asked. "You're tall."

"Uh...who are you? You're short." H44 asked awkwardly.

"This is Trude." Konigin answered. "She is our little ray of sunshine around here."

"Pleasure, Trude. I'm-"

"H44." The other person finished.

H44 turned to the newcomer. "And you are?"

The shipgirl stuck out her hand. "I'm Shinano."

Shinano was a caucasian Japanese female with long red-violet hair in a long ponytail braided on the right side of her face with a red and white bow at the end and amber red eyes. She wore a short sleeved red and white shrine maiden shirt, red shrine maiden sleeves on both arms, a red obi belt tied around her waist, red hakama trousers, white sock stockings underneath the trousers and on her legs, and brown geta sandals.

H44 took the hand. "Yeah...good to meet you."

Shinano giggled at H44's awkwardness. "Not much in the ways of confidence, are you?"

"Er…" Was all H44 said. "Why do I feel like something is off-"

"I look forward to spending time with you. A lot of time with you." Shinano said sultry-like.

"Ah, there it is." H44 sighed. "Lemme guess, you like me?"

"I like you!" Trude exclaimed.

"No, not like that Trude." Konigin said. "Shinano wants to sleep with H44."

"Doesn't she already have a pillow of him?" Trude asked.

"Oh my Kaiser…" H44 sighed. "It's just like Elli."

"Elli has a body pillow of you?" Elise asked.

"Elli has a body pillow of me and Yamato. I think she's Bi." H44 said.

"She's a nymphomaniac." Elise rolled her eyes. "It doesn't affect her sexuality per se, but she does like fondling anyone's junk."

"I...think we need to get back to the plot." H44 said. He turned to Konigin, ignoring the look Shinano was sending him. "Why did you capture us?"

"We need your help." Konigin said, pointing at her map. There were four huge marks heading towards their location. "They're coming for you, so they can do to you what they did to some of us here."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jade asked.

Konigin motioned to Shinano to lead Trude away. Shinano took the girl's hand and led her back to the base. "She shouldn't know what she truly is…"

"Hey, Konigin, we're still here." Jade said, annoyed.

"Right, some of us were victim to the process of what they want to put you, H44, through."

"Which is?" H44 asked.

"They want to turn you into a monster."

H44 arched an eyebrow.

"They want to turn you into one of them: an Abyssal."
