A New Fight

A Fight With The Ironblood

Chapter 5

Enterprise took out a syringe, where did she get that from?, and took some of my blood. “I’ll be back, don't worry, '' she said as she walked off to somewhere, probably a hospital.

“Well, Bloodblade, I've got a commission that I need you to do. A convoy is heading through Ironblood turf. I need it protected. It's a small job so you will be doing it alone." he says. I just stared at him and took it in. 

After everything he just witnessed??!!

I opened my mouth to protest but he cut me off. “Don’t hold it against me, I have orders just like you do.”

"But can't someone else do it, my ship is ruined. I have just found an old friend I thought I lost! And I have no idea what is going on." I pleaded with the man, but this made him snap at me. He almost slapped me too.

"Do you think I give a shit, you are a ship girl. Only made to serve humans any way possible!" he yelled and I took a step back.

Hang on, where have I heard this before?

"I couldn't care less about what the state of your ship is. JUST DO THE MISSION OR DIE TRYING!" he screams at me and points to the docks.

This made me angry beyond comparison.

 I have just found an old friend, while recovering from a battle with a ship that might as well be sunk. It's that broken.

And now he expects me to protect a convoy, how arrogant is this guy, a commander should do everything to make sure everyone is safe. 

“FUCK YOU, YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE!” I yelled at him.

 I stood up and walked to my ship.

If these assholes want me to protect this convoy then at least I want my ship to work.

I turned a corner expecting to find my wreck of a ship, but it wasn’t what I found. I did find my ship, or at least where I left it but now it looked. It looked brand new.

No scratch or any damage on it.

 “What in the bloody hell happened to my ship? It looks... looks new.”I said as I climbed aboard.

Immediately the little overlay appeared but this time it was all green. This made me feel slightly better about this mission. 

This, this is something I can work with.

Suddenly I see a two-sided spear appear in front of me. 

Well, it’s not the actual spear, it's more of a blueprint.

I didn’t know why, but it feels like it’s calling me like the hat did earlier, telling me to grab it. 

But this looks like a blueprint and not the actual thing. I'm not going to grab anything when I grab it, right.'

I just said what can go wrong to myself and grabbed it. To my surprise it materialised as I did exactly that.

Today is a weird day. From going to war in a destroyed ship, then meeting an old friend, now being sent on some convoy protection job.

I turn the ship around and start to head towards the convoy. 

The convoy I'm being sent to protect contains 5 merchant ships and two destroyers.

Hang on, wasn't I supposed to do this alone?

“Don’t worry Bloodblade, those destroyers are mass-production models, no crew, fully expendable.” says the asshole over the comms that I could somehow hear even when not standing in the radio room.
