The cold morning sun rose over the calm Japanese sea, seagulls flew in the direction of the huge ship that cruised over the sea.

Rain stepped into the bridge of the Yamato where all his crew were planning the attack.

Officer: Captain at the bridge!

Everyone looked up at Rain and saluted him with honour and respect to which he saluted back to everyone.

Rain: How far away are we?

1st officer: 30 minutes till the meeting point.

Rain: Good, any other ships spotted?

1st officer: None sir, seas been calm all night.

Rain: Guess their gathering all of them at the drop off point.

1st officer: We believe that too sir.

Rain: Alright everyone listen up, this is Yamato's first major mission. Stopping the Chinese convoy is our primary task and any supplies dropped from it is a secondary, i want everyone at their stations by 8:40am ready to begin the operation do I make myself clear?

Everyone: Yes sir.

*Kyoto beach, 8:35am (The meeting point.)*

A group of scouts stared out into the sea for signs of the convoy while troops prepared the horses and carriages for transporting everything over.

Scout: Convoy spotted, 10 minutes until arrival.

Gordon: Good, prepare the horses for transport we need to get these supplies to Kyoto as soon as possible.

Troop commander: Yes sir.

Vex: Gordon, please no need to rush.

Gordon: Vex, lady Yuuki must of seen something if she sent three of her best commanders and a lot of troops.

 Ghost: Gordon, it's just a supply drop that's it.

Gordon: Still she sent are most advanced ships to protect and sent 3 of us instead of just 1.

Vex: True, Something doesn't feel right.

Scout: Huge object spotted, north-west!

The three commanders rushed to the scout point to look at the object.

Ghost: What is that?

Vex: A monster?

Gordon: Doesn't remind me of one.

Troop commander: Sir, the object is heading for the convoy!

Ghost: It's an attack!

Gordon: Prepare the archers and catapults!

*Sea of Japan, Yamato 8:44am*

Valkyrie: Target in sight sir.

Rain stepped to the speaker and began speaking.

Rain: Battle stations everyone, this not a drill i repeat this not a drill the operation has begun!

Everyone ran to their stations and shouting was heard all across the ship.

1st officer: orders sir.

Rain: Turn 90 degrees left, All 3 main guns 90 degrees to the right and elevation 35 degrees!

the 1st officer began turning the Yamato left until she was fully pointing away from the coast.

Gun officer: You heard the captain, Guns 90 degrees right and elevation 35 degrees.
