Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

First Encounters

It's been 4 years since the emergence of the Abyssals, a highly intelligent and highly hostile race of marine life. They hit hard and fast, not sparing a soul if they can help it. But, the world was not so easily turned on it's side as the world's naval superpowers attempted to fight back at this new, sudden threat.

At first, it appeared to be working, various countries such as Japan and Britain winning key victories, securing key regions across the globe.

That's when the Abyssals began to adapt, using new forces and tactics not before seen. Former victories were replaced with crushing defeats. Formerly secured regions became the stuff of legends as the Naval powers of the world were pushed back to their homes and off of the water.

But it did not stop there as the Abyssal's began the shellings and attacks of port cities and naval installations. New York was reduced to rubble within a day. Sydney was set ablaze within an hour. San Francisco was crushed and obliterated in the blink of an eye.

Civilization as we knew it was on the verge of utter and total collapse, the victors deemed the mysterious species that had emerged from the ocean's deepest and darkest depths.

But, just as all seemed lost and forgotten, Japan emerged with a new way to combat these threats.

2 years into the Abyssal Conflict, off the coast of California is when they first emerged as a response to a distress signal sent from the scattered U.S. Naval forces in the bay of San Francisco.

The ship girls. Human sized gun platforms, easily maneuverable and quick witted, but had the firepower of a fully stocked warship. Classes ranging from Battleship to Submarine rained down hell on the Abyssal Fleet trying to crush what remained of the U.S. Naval Forces in the area.

But it didn't stop there as the Japanese based fleet secured breathing room for the U.S. along it's western coast and across the world for other countries. However, it was not such a simple going after such.

Countries of the world demanded that Japan share the tech that had constructed the girls, intending to bring back their own ships that had been lost to the Abyssals. Japan then revealed that such a thing would not be possible, for the Ship Girls only dated as late as World War II. Some countries were discouraged at this, not having credible naval forces to speak of. But countless such as America, Britain, and Germany were not discouraged.

In according with this and a show of good faith, Japan invited the three other superior naval forces of the Second World War to come and start their own Ship Girl forces, in an attempt to make a full forced stand against this new threat.

Admiral Anya Johnson sat in her quarters, looking over some last minute things as the Aegis destroyer, the USS Norfolk, as it heads for the Japanese naval base that serves as the base of operations for its ship girls. This is the naval starion that would also host other countries fleets for the time being.

Anya looked over a list of ship girls that had been created by the Japanese, finding some names more common known than others. The first two names, for instance, were the Yamato sisters, Yamato and Musashi. Other names such as Kongou and Atago also decorated the list. Anya marveled at the various names on the list, running a hand through her shoulder length blonde hair. Her green eyes studied the names inventively, for as she understood it, she would be meeting most if not all of these girls.

She laughed to herself quietly, thinking about this. These girls were supposedly the souls of some of the most feared warships of Japan during World War 2. And here she was, preparing to bring the souls of American ships to serve right alongside with them. She wasn't exactly sure how it was gonna go.

She continued to read over the names, getting familiar with each one when her phone rang. She put her tablet on her desk as she answered, leaning back in her chair as she did so.
