Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Butterfly Effect

A Lone Wolf's Requiem

Graf Zeppelin.

An aircraft carrier from World War Two which was not completed by Nazi Germany.

The situation from the Pacific Theatre shocked the Nazis of what these type of ships are capable of doing. Midway, the raid of Truk Island and a majority of US naval campaigns that included aircraft carriers.. these were all successful in showing the efficiency of carrier-born bombers and fighters.

However, the idea came too late in ever helping the Nazis to win the war just like any other great innovation from German scientists and researchers. The German Navy scuttled the Graf Zeppelin in the hopes of avoiding capture by the Allies or worse; the Soviets.

The Soviets did indeed captured her even after she was scuttled, and this led to an experiment that would determine the vessel's fate. Although through many evidence from Pacific Theatre battles.. the Soviets wanted a closer look on what damages could be done towards an aircraft carrier and that included the effects of a heavy bomb and a ton of explosives. This would determine how to sink even the Allies' aircraft carriers if Communism were to clash against Capitalism.

Graf Zeppelin sank for the second time in the hands of the Soviets. The world simply passes by and ignores her story and the tragedies she faced alone.

The Fleet of Fog also have such a vessel; the Graf Zeppelin did her duty under Bismarck's rule on the European Theatre and she was tasked to help Hood in hunting the I-417. However, Iowa's battle group had turned things around and the aircraft carrier was forced to return back to Kiel.

With the collapse of the Fourth Reich, the European Theatre was broken down and split between 2 powers available in the Atlantic Ocean. The French Resistance obtained territories and supervised British Fog ships while the Soviet Fog controls the German Fog along with their facilities, with the cooperation of the Russian Federation.

The inevitable happened afterwards following such turn of events, Stalingrad announces a new government to be installed on the Russian Federation due to the failure of democracy in a new world. Terms were being discussed in Moscow for the decision of a brand new system in Russia.

The Flagship of the Soviet Fog demands a full attention towards the defeat of the Japanese Fog and alerted most of her ships to begin cruise towards the Pacific Ocean.

The nearest unit for this mission was handed to Kiev and her battle group, she was also ordered to bring the captured Graf Zeppelin. There were issues brought up by the new superior of the German Fog; Tirpitz between her and Stalingrad. At the end, the aircraft carrier was forced to follow direct orders from the battlecruiser and to move immediately for the port of Gibraltar currently protected by Richelieu's forces.

A sole objective was at hand and that was for the end of this meaningless war, but there are many that claims that this would drag on for years. For humanity, that was enough time to rebuild their military against the Japanese Fog.

Graf Zeppelin would once again be used to fulfill her destiny as a ship that would constantly be isolated and never to receive help from any side. The purpose of the fleet was to escort the German vessel to the battlefield and have her attack Musashi's grand fleet and when engagements broke out, Kiev had been given a secret order especially for Graf Zeppelin.

As of the current situation, she was now passing by the Suez Canal with Kiev and her comrades following not far behind. They would care less if someone opened fire on Graf Zeppelin as long as they were unharmed.

The mental model of the German ship stood on the flight deck, a blonde woman wearing a grey coloured uniform and she was void of any expression after Stalingrad told her to dispose of the emotion plugin she had installed. The last thing needed was fear or regret coming from her when the fight starts.
