a ship of lightning

Chapter 18

a few hours later

piorun regained use of her body looking around she saw open water but it looked off it was a darker blue instead of the azur the Pacific had looking up she saw constellations recognizing them she realized she was in the northern Atlantic 

*how the fuck did the sirens get me here?*

looking at the stars she tries to get her location

*I'm further north than I thought it's not the Atlantic it's the Norwegian Sea*

aiming her ship south she steams ahead toward England suddenly she stops her engines and her yellow eye brightened in thought

*wait I can't go there, I have to go back to base, I have siren features now and Siren passengers*

aiming her ship now southwest she sets the engines to flank speed hoping to make it to the Pacific as fast as posable

a few hours later she hears cannon shots looking around she sees nothing but fog and sea she hears more shots and in the fog a shape took form it was large and one she knew immediately

*Bismarck!*

quickly she starts to cut her lights and looks out at the massive ship it was steaming toward her but the cannons were at rest

*wait if her cannons are down then whos firing?*

she sees another ship come out of the fog it was a siren ship it had its guns on stand by then more followed

*as much as I hate Bismarck, I have to do something*

kicking her lights back on she rushes to the sirens but as she had passengers on board she had to make do with her ship the sirens aimed their guns at her and began firing she weived between the shots the torrents of water they sent up made it hard to see her she began to broadside the ships firing round after round into the sides aiming for engines, rudders, turrets, and the bridges she keeps firing but she runs she even takes the coin out and began firing it also into the sirens she aimed for fuel tanks piercing them and setting them a flame keeping the sirens trained on her one by one siren began to fall each one taking a lot of damage then she ran into a siren battleship firing all she could at it but It just kept taking round after round she dumped her loaded torpedoes and aimed for under the main guns that shot kinetic rounds and they hit the armor belt then one managed to hit a weak spot the ship's bow was torn in half the ships light began to flicker then they stopped she looks at the bismarck it had it lights on then she began to here it send a radio message to her

bismarck: who are you

piorun sends a message in Morse

"someone who saw a ship in trouble and decided to help"

Bismarck: what is your name if you do not give it you will be considered hostile

"how about no"

after sending that last message she kicks the engines to flank and runs at full speed she decides to send a final message

"ill tell you this poland lives on"

she quickly turns off the radio and keeps the engines running at full speed making good headway to the Panama Canal where she can continue to the main base but then she saw trouble on her radar it was a small fleet of ships cutting her lights She began to watch the fleet on radar they where approaching, looking out into the early morning mist she sees them it was a small patrol of iron blood ships mostly destroyers but it had a cruiser or two

*why are there so many iron blood ships up here?*

thinking about it she realized something

*I might have gone too far with the last message*

keeping her lights off she guns her engines and began to hull herself at full speed trying to keep out of sight of the patrol

"ah shit"

arch: what is it?

"iron blood patrol fleets are looking for me"

Anna: why?

"you know the little battle with the siren ships a little bit ago?"

Arch: yeah?

"well I taunted bismarck a little and now their out here so yeah"

Arch: you taunted Bismarck!

"yep not the first time either but now shes got patrol everywhere and I don't want to deal with them"

Anna: that was a bad idea

Arch: you can say that again

"it was a small thing now I'm dealing with this"

keeping the ship dark she began to send out small pulses of energy trying to disrupt the radar of other ships

*i hope this works*

as she continues she comes into radar range and the patrol doesn't notice her keeping her engines at flank she rushes out of radar range and eventually international waters

"we should be fine unless we run into more sirens"

Arch: ok but we never got your name

"oh sorry my name is piorun"

Anna: wait piorun?

"yep"

Arch: I heard that name before

Anna: yea it was a part of our history class dumbass

"I was in your history class?"

Arch: yea we have a history class for our world

"wait did this mention the ship disappearing?"

Anna: yeah why?

"then we are from the same world, why are you guy attacking this world?"

Anna: oh uh that requires a long explanation

Arch: to prepare this world for the future

Anna: or that

"wait so the world that new jersey described about  her world"

Anna: was a failed attempt

piorun stands there in shock she takes a seat to think about the information she was told, letting a ship slip through her notice it began to tail her piorun begins to come out of her shock

"if that's true then why in such a way?"

Arch: no clue we didn't choose it

the ship begins to approach at a rapid pace piorun takes notice at the last second it was a siren destroyer she fired her coin through it and it immediately explodes

"that was close"

Arch: a little close for comfort

Anna: yeah

"so want to play a game?"

Arch: what ya got?

"some card games and a couple board games"

Anna: got monopoly?

"yep I'll get it set up on the table"
