Legends Don't Die, They are Reborn

Chapter 3 A twist of Fate

After The Bismarck Paused to pick up the Two Spotter Planes, the Two Warships glided across the calm waters with the Bismarck in the front. Their Destination? Pearl Harbour. Reason? To Repel the Japanese Attack. While it may seem somewhat counter productive for a German Battleship to defend an American Base against Germany's Ally, Japan. The Captain of the Bismarck, Lindemann was trying to avert the American Intervention of World War Two. Or so He thought. The Event of WW2 had long passed in this world, this was just merely a repetition of the Events. He was snapped awake from his idle thoughts when a persistent voice repeated the phrase, "Captain, Captain" He turned sharply to the source and found his signals officer. "Yes?" he asked, anticipating a problem or a new development.

"The Hood has just messaged us over the wireless. They have spotted a Kitsune attacking the American Base," answered the officer, "Your orders captain?" 

"What is a Kitsune? I have never heard of that!"

"Sir, if you would, you can see it on the starboard..."  Lindemann immediately reached for his binoculars and inspected the kitsune himself. It was a massive white fox with nine tails, he had heard of such things from the Japanese but he had never realised that it was this impressive. Oddly though, For some bizarre reason, some person, most likely delusional, had decided to strap a flight deck to it and some of the sections were attached by hinges. Those Hinges must be very stressed by the weight, though Lindemann. 

"Fire on it! What round do we have loaded?"

"Armour Piercing Sir!"

"Good, Aim for the Kitsune and wait for command" Lindemann ordered. The AP would rip apart the Kitsune, noted Lindemann grimly. Surely no amount of Flesh and Bones could survive against a 15 inch AP round, designed to pierce 9.1 inches of armour at maximum range, striking them directly? "Helmsman! Get The Bismarck into an appropriate angle of approach to Broadside the Kitsune."

The Bismarck lead the Hood into a Turn to the Port, the eight 38cm High-velocity guns turned to bear onto the Kitsune. Firing solutions were calculated and Guns adjusted accordingly. The Hood was having problems in acquiring the Range with its old Fire Control system and signalled to the Bismarck for the German's range data. 

"Captain! The guns are on target! Ready to fire at your command!" reported the gunnery officer.

"Captain! The Hood is requesting the range of the target"

Lindemann dealt with the developments one by one, "Wait for my command to fire, contact the Fire Directory for the data that the Hood wants and send it over. Anything else the British want is granted"

When the necessary data was received by the Hood, it trained its guns onto the Kitsune as well. Everyone tensed up as 8 Pairs of 15inch guns were adjusted hydraulically to the correct elevation and stopped. As soon as the first Shell left the barrel, there was no turing back for anyone, they would be committed into a war, another endless conflict resulting in only death and destruction...

"Feur!"

"Fire!"

The Bismarck's eight 38cm fired first and boomed across the sea. Hood soon fired after the German Battleship and belched smoke from the Barrels. Within each turret, Gun Crews worked hard to load the next round in, not caring whether the round had landed or not. Unlike the people on the receiving end who cared very much.

Pearl Harbour

The Port was in flames, in the docks were warships badly damaged before they even got to fire a shot in anger. Yet, Eagle Union ships stood side by side with the Royal Navy as they both desperately attempted to repel the attackers. Yet all their efforts was not enough against the numerically superior foe and slowly, one by one, riggings were disabled or shipgirls badly wounded by direct hits from the Siren warships. Scared of what would happen to her friends, Unicorn was forced to deploy herself as the only carrier in the battlefield with Illustrious not yet within the deployment zone. She and her plushie, Yuri, engaged and soon Seafires were dueling A6M "zero"s and Siren fighters, taking off the pressure from the hard pressed ship girls in combat.

Kaga could not let a mere light carrier to interrupt the Sakuran intense planning and sortied more A6Ms to crush Unicorn. Out numbered and out-gunned by the lighter A6Ms, the seafires did all they could against such an agile opponent but they were sent tumbling into the Sea as flaming wrecks. Unicorn herself was knocked off Yuri's back and laid, frozen in fear, as Kaga's Kitsune turned to her and open its Jaws. A loud clap was heard, Kaga turned to it and saw two familiar shapes steaming at an angle to the base, but the distance prevented her from immediate recognition.

Then, she heard what sounded like trains flying to her. Her Kitsune shuddered as 5 Rounds struck it within quick succession, a hole appeared on its flight deck. Another one barely missed the kitsune and a massive geyser of water shot up under the Kitsune's belly.  A Pawn-class Destroyer erupted in flames and detonated in an awesome explosion. A Bishop-class cruiser had its turrets destroyed and drifted aflame. All around her, fountains of seawater exploded, soaking everyone.

"What! What just happened?" yelled Akagi. They were doing so well until now. There should be no Battleships availible as they had ensured the Battleships were disable personally with focused dive-bombing and torpedoes. Yet only a Battleship could do such damage. Many shipgirls paused in mid-action to comprehend what just happened unlike Unicorn who used the time to flee from the distracted Kitsune.

"How did someone respond so quickly?" pondered Cleveland out loud. 

Everyone looked as the main guns of the two ships flashed again in reply.

sorry, this chapter is much shorter than planned to expect a notification about this chapter when I re edit this or maybe I'll make a new Chapter.

So, For those people out there who suggested to add more ships, let's poll it as I believe in democracy.

Option 1) HMS repulse, Renown-class battlecruiser sunk with

Option 2) HMS Prince of Wales, King George V-class fast battleship sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers

Option 3) Graf Spee, scuttled but I'll change it to it encountered a storm in mid battle and fled into it

Option 4) Tirpitz, Sunk by bombers in Norway, I'll find a way to make it work, perhaps when it sortied to attack a convoy PQ18, it encountered a storm?

Option 5) Scharnhorst, sunk by Duke of York, Belfast and Jamaica. 

Option 6) comment and I'll think about it

Note, that I will decide how many ships are brought in but I think only 3 or 4 as Graf Spee is a good ship to add and it doesn't count as a Battleship so, if someone suggests a Heavy cruiser or cruiser or destroyer, it has a higher chance of being added. Don't worry if your ship didn't make it. Another poll will be held later on.

see you later (well, You will read this story later(hopefully)) and stay safe!
