The lost battleship of the southern trench

Chapter 19

location off the coastline of Cagayan

Musa gritted her teeth in frustration seeing the sudden appearance of so many Siren warships. Normally they'd be no problem for her, but she was in a slightly weakened state from the battle beforehand, as well as the other ship girls. But she and her fleet saw a saving grace. Well... more like they heard it.

Several large explosions rang out from the edges of the mass produced Siren fleet. Then the loud shrieking of Banshees could be heard. Hime looked over in the direction they were coming from and could see that Blue and Xia were currently sailing towards the shut down Ra-class. She looked behind her, to where Rem was "Rem, deal with the Trench Abyssals"

Rem smiled sadistically, and gave a joking salute before saying "alright! Though save some ship girls for me will ya?!"

"Sure" Hime said as Rem suddenly made a turn and darted off towards Blue and Xia, at the speed of something more akin to a destroyer than a battleship.

Now Hime looked back at the ship girls and could see that there was still determination in their eyes. She let out a sigh and said an a mocking tone "oh how terrifying if you~ Your friends that you call monsters are no longer here to help~"

Musa growled slightly as she was angry and yelled out "Don't underestimate us! Or my sister!" Now her guns roared and in an instant almost half of the Siren Fleet was obliterated. Even in this state Musa was a force to be reckoned with.

Hime simply snapped her fingers and everyone could then see more of the portals from before opened up in the sky, and more mass produced Sirens appeared. Then Hime said "go on, destroy them. But know that if you destroy one, two will take its place"

Musa was incredibly frustrated at this. There was no way it seemed that they could escape. But at the moment Hime seemed to be toying with them, seeing how they'd react to the feeling of helplessness.

Now Blue was sailing closer to the Ra-class much to Xia's dismay "Blue you shouldn't go that close to that thing" she warned.

"Southern is in that thing, and I won't leave until we at least recover her body" Blue responded "Just stay on the lookout for anything coming at us"

"Alright, But... be careful" Xia said before she looked over at the large Siren fleet. Her eyes widened at the sight of them as memories of her past friends getting killed. She gritted her teeth in frustration, as she directed her Banshees to target the Sirens. But now she saw the rapidly approaching Rem and panicked slightly "Ah, Blue! Rem is coming! We gotta get out of here!"

Blue looked in frustration as she saw Rem. She wanted to make sure she could at least see if Southern was still alive, rather than abandoning her. But she knew that it wasn't good to stick around. She turned away from the Ra-class and now spoke to Xia "we need to focus our aircraft on Rem if we want to stop her from sinking us" now she launched several banshees that immediately went after Rem.

"Roger that!" Xia yelled as several of her Banshees soared into the air before diving towards Rem.

Now Rem dodged the incoming attacks with ease, as she closed the distance rapidly. She giggled like a maniac as she was now in close range of the two. She jumped into the air and her monster tail aim its guns at Blue "I've got you~" Rem said in a teasing voice, before her guns fired.

Blue couldn't even try dodging at such a close range, and took several direct hits. She was damaged but still functional. But what came next was worse than before.

Rem landed several meters in front of where Blue and Xia were heading, and now blocked their path. The maniacal smile still spread across Rem's face as her tail roared, and unleashed a massive salvo of torpedoes at the two helpless carriers.
