Eternal Reich

(Special Chapter) The Ripper

January 1 2002

Royal Navy, London

It was a New Year celebration that was hardly even celebrated due to the fact that there was a lurking murderer in London.

That Said Murderer has accumulated many victims through the years that passed by as that same very murderer  hadn't been caught

The attempts of the Royal Navy as well as authorities to catch the murderer failed even with the intervention by the Shipgirls.

Many have named the supposed murderer as the Ripper inspired by Jack The Ripper, a serial killer

But same as Jack, the Ripper identity is completely unknown. Its goals, reason none. it's all a mystery to everyone.

Thus, during the first day of the new  year, many people became wary of their surroundings so as not to become a victim as well.

.....................

In London, there were only a few people walking around doing their own things while many cars are in a bit traffic and the usual arguments that happen in the roads and will always be solved by a police officer.

Nevertheless, Bismarck had no intentions today since she will meet U-556.

U-556 was the one taking care of Tirpitz, her sister, when she was severely injured during the betrayal as such when Bismarck left the Ironblood temporarily, she ordered U-556 to take care of Tirpitz and inform her of what's happening in Ironblood.

Well, she does know that there is a civil war raging on she doesn't have any interest in that, but if given a chance, she might just rush to kill Eugen.

But that would be a lot of trouble, so she is still here in London doing the same thing she had done to many of her victims.

...........

Abandoned Building Somewhere in London.

Bismarck: U-556, it's good to see you again.

U-556: Oh, Lord Bismarck, I'm glad to see you as well.

Bismarck: You can drop the lord part, and besides, you have grown a lot, huh?

U-556: Well, even though we are ships and are practically invincible against any form of damage that could be inflicted, many changes in the recent new upgrades that Roon had made allow us to grow

Bismarck: That Madwoman she is doing everything she can just like in the past with Admiral Hipper they created many things that might cause destruction in any way possible.

U-556: Yes, at that time, they were the best on that field while both Vestal and Akashi were excellent on their medical field at that time.

Bismarck: Yeah, It's a shame, and I'm saddened at the death of Hipper.

U-556: Everyone except Eugen, who only wants to rule Ironblood.

Bismarck: Oh yeah, about that bitch how's the civil war going?

U-556: Stalemate, again, we can't attack a lot while they could attack us, but our defenses are just stopping them.

Bismarck: This has been the same thing you said for a year.

U-556: Yeah, unlike the 2000, where we had conflicts with Sardegna Empire on the border, and we managed to actually win that.

Bismarck: Friedrich Der Grobe had been the great leader of Ironblood since the beginning of the Civil War, so i don't doubt her ability to win that.

U-556: Anyways, I have some news for you.

Bismarck: Hmm.. do tell me.

U-556: Tirpitz, your sister is recovering well with the help of Roon she was able to repair the damaged wisdom cube with success as well as getting us new upgrades for our riggings

Bismarck: What Upgrades?

U-556: Ability to always have a rigging around you hidden or not as well as new attachments such as close quarter weapons in the rigging.

Bismarck: That's a huge upgrade for us, unlike the Royal Navy and Eagle Union, who only improved their shipgirls rarely after the siren threat was eliminated as well as their goal.

U-556: Their goal is to cripple us alongside the Sakura Empire to ensure their dominance.

Bismarck: Even so, the Royal Navy was involved as well, and you know why I'm here.

U-556: Yes, I know, your sister was a bit sad for you after i told her why you were not there to accompany her.

Bismarck: That's fine, even so i want to meet her, but you know things just change.

U-556: You're right about that. A lot has indeed changed.

Bismarck: Have you informed her of what I'm doing here?

U-556: Yes, I have informed her, and she is a bit concerned about your mental well-being.

Bismarck: Haaah..... I said I'm fine U-556....

U-556: You're clearly not fine at all. All of these killings that you have done without any hesitation and your stating your fine?

Bismarck: .............

U-556: Silence again Bismarck?.........because it's the truth.

Bismarck: So how do you fix it then? You know?

U-556: I don't know how, but  it's up to you since this is your predicament. anyways I'm going now. I've said what you need to know.

U-556 then left Bismarck, who was still thinking of what U-556 said to her, but now it was impossible as the only thing that Bismarck thinks is to take care of those whom she knows while killing those she deemed unnecessary to this world even if they are innocent people or not.
