Right.....Wrong.....I don't know

Facing spirits

Kent and Long Island were not having a good time.

Sure they were outside of the cave and out of the two sirens grasp but the illusion of a former friend was following after them with murderous intend.

Kent was panicking as she stood there and looked back.  She even yelled her friends' names repeatedly but received no answer.

Barely a minute ago they were having a hard fight against a foe they didn’t expect, an enforcer. An elite troop of the sirens, who alone is something many experienced shipgirls need to take on to take it down or force it to retreat. And in all sense the few girls here weren't prepared for that in the slightest. 

Despite all odds they fought, even when Shropshire became useless they fought. They fought and almost won, or at least came to a stalemate. Even Kent could see that the siren wasn't fighting at full strength and that scared her.

But then SHE joined, a monster Kent already met, now stronger than before. A siren mimicking the looks and will of a good friend of them all. Cleveland.

The sirens switched places. The enforcer left and the Observer took the field of battle, and utterly destroyed them all. She was on a completely different level compared to the enforcer.

They fought and fought but were ultimately powerless. The siren even brought the ever so stoic headmaid to consider retreat. So they did, they ran, yet it didn’t work.

Belfast and South Dakota didn’t come out of the cave so Kent asked Long Island to help them. The carrier did as best as she could, but as the minutes passed and the smoke stayed, all they could hear was the sound of battle.

Finally after the long screams passed a maid came out of the cave again. 

Yet who it was, wasn’t Belfast.

It was another maid, one that almost broke Kent by just looking at her face.

“Edinburgh?” Asked Kent as she stared at the ghostly maid.  The illusion held the same halberd the enforcer held and seemed to be glowing a bluish color.

Kent could even swear she could look through her body when she focused on Edinburgh. She gave off an unnatural feeling as she stood there with a big smile.

“But you died…” Said Kent in complete disbelief. “We found your corpse, how are you here?”

Kent was bewildered out of her mind. Long Island however saw that a bit differently as she giggled and woohooed around.

“She looks like a ghost!” Giggled Long Island smugly. “I said this ghost attracts ghosts!”

Kent gulped and held back the light carrier who was about to approach the figure. “In all honesty I don’t believe in ghosts and that halberd looks a bit too real for my liking.” Kent focussed on it. “Wait, isn't that the one the enforcer carried before she threw it away.”

The illusion didn’t move and smiled sheepishly as she stood there halberd drawn and rigging at ready.

“Ok.” Gulped Kent and dragged the carrier backwards. “That is the enforcer no doubt, we need to fight.”

“How are you so sure?” Said Long Island with her childish passion. “ It can just be the ghost of Christmas past.”

“Stop ruining my movie list.” Said Kent embarrassed and looked up. “I like christmas carol ok. Also I am pretty sure that that is not a friend-DOWN!”

Kent barely had enough time to even notice the illusion even doing anything.

The illusion in front of them shot with her readied rigging and only through hitting the deck did the two shipgirls manage to evade the shells.
