Kantai Collection: Two Front War

Prologue: Battle Stations

"All right, we're increasing our patrols." The fleet admiral says as he and the other admirals look over a map in the command room. "We're going to have both cruisers and destroyers move out together to check around the docks and make sure nobody tries to attack us..."

"All right, and what about our coastal defense ships?" Jack asks.

"We'll have them next to the docks just in case some of the enemy break through. We're going to have these girls fitted with bigger guns than normal." The fleet admiral replies. "On top of that we're going to have people manning the coastal turrets so we should be good."

"All right, that takes care of coastal defenses." Felicia mumbles. "But I'm not sure if we can see any changes to how we normally form our fleets aside from different battle patterns. I'll get something cooking when we get out into the battlefield."

"Excellent." The fleet admiral chuckles. "Now to-"

"Sir! There's major trouble just outside the docks!" A seaman shouts as he rushes into the command room.

"Speak quickly, what is it?" Vinh asks.

"We just spotted a group of ships, I think the Germans are coming!" The seaman replies.

"Jack, you go out there and see what's going on." The fleet admiral says.

"Roger." Jack replies. "Lead the way." He says as he tails the seaman. As soon as they reach the dock Jack sees it: a group of ships bearing the German flag, with a girl sporting blonde ponytails leading the charge. "Well, looks like they're already trying to murder us all!"

"Don't worry! We can handle this!" Kongou says as she and her sisters emerge. "We'll have them running away like little weasels!" And with that the sisters charge forth, letting loose a barrage of shells. The German fleet spreads out to avoid the shots and the battleships simply adjust by peppering the general area with shells. The tactic seems to work as enemy ships start turning into swiss cheese and it's not long before only the shipgirl that was leading the charge remains. "Who are you?! And why have you attacked us?!"

"I thought big sis Bismarck told you girls!" The German shipgirl shouts. "I am heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, and the kriegsmarine will see you destroyed! If not by me then by my big sis!"

"All bark and no bite!" Kongou laughs. "You think I'm gonna be scared of a heavy cruiser like-" Kongou gets cut off as Eugen shoots Kongou in the face point blank with one of her guns. The end result leaves Kongou's face covered in soot. "-you?"

"Hiee! Kongou are you okay?!" Hiei quickly asks as she assesses the damage.

"Yeah, nothing to worry about." Kongou replies but this has given the German heavy cruiser more than enough time to make a break for it while everyone is distracted, and by the time Kongou looks back up she's gone. "Darn it! I was going to get her back for what she did!" And with that the sisters return to the docks.

"Kongou?" Jack asks. "What in the world did she do to you?"

"Shot me point blank." Kongou replies as Jack tosses her a wet rag to wipe off all the soot on her face.

"Just they wait, they're going to see just how powerful we are." Jack chuckles as Kongou tosses the rag.

"They won't know what hit them!" Kongou says as she, Jack and her sisters head back inside to get themselves ready for battle.
