The year is 2020, the world has been at war with two strange alien races: the Sirens and the Abyssals. The Sirens first appeared in 2012 and almost immediately humanity was pushed out of the oceans. Modern technology appeared to be futile against the highly technologically advanced sirens. Though a break through for a weapon to fight against them was found in 2016: the ship girls. It isn't fully clear how ship girls were created, though there is a rumor that the Sakura Empire made the first ship girl, though it isn't clear if this is true or not, as such it's still just a rumor and not fact. Ship girls were found to be the embodiment of warships dating as far back as the 1870s and as far forward as the 1950s. Experiments have shown that when their ships are refitted with modern technology that they can no longer control their ships like they normally would, and can't summon their riggings. As such it is now forbidden for them to be equipped with technology that is beyond 1950s, as this appears to be the barrier for them.
Though almost as a reaction to the creation of ship girls, a new foe showed themselves. The Abyssals first showed themselves in 2017, by attacking vital ports all along the Eagle Union and Sakura Empire. Their origin, like the sirens, is unknown to humanity, though there are many theories. One of the biggest, is that the Abyssals are sunken ships that turned evil and now actively seek the destruction of humanity.This is where we join the story.
Location 450 kilometers south east of the Mariana Islands
A field of debris could be seen and clouds of dirty smoke rose up into the air. A battle had once raged there, but now it was long over. Ship girls, that couldn't be save, left to sink down into the abyss could be seen. As several ships appeared to be fighting the un-winnable battle of sinking. Though they were now being sunk faster by Abyssals who were there to recover the wrecks for their own purposes.
A carrier princess was sitting a top her riggings surveying the wreckages as destroyers launched off torpedoes into the wrecks that still had ship girls on them. Though now she was approached from behind by a Ri-class heavy cruiser.
Ri: Sunken, orders from Hime. We're supposed to pull out of this area immediately and only return with the ship girls we have currently.
The princess turned around to look at the Ri-class, and squinted a bit at her.
Sunken: and why do we have to? There's still ship girls we haven't salvaged from their ships or from the abyss.
Sunken Aircraft Carrier Princess.
Ri: she knows that, but currently we are above the Mariana Trench, movement has been detected of something coming out of it. Hime wants us to be out of here before whatever it is arrives.
Sunken: dang it... fine, we'll have to leave those wreckages to those traitors.
Now Sunken spoke to the rest of the fleet over radio.
Sunken: all ships movement of something leaving the trench beneath us has been detected; pull back to base immediately and only bring the ship girls already collected with you.
The other Abyssal started to comply and started off back towards their own base. Though Sunken hung around a bit longer as she watched one particular ship sinking. She muttered to herself.
Sunken: why did I feel like I knew you deeply? Even though I don't remember you?
She continued to watch as the ship sank until one part of it slipped under water. That part she knew well, she had seen it before many times one other ship girls.
This was the last thing she saw of the ship before it fully slipped beneath the waves.She sighed and turned back as well to her base. Again she muttered to herself.
Sunken: Well... I guess we may meet again. Whether it's by those traitors or by the humans.
Location 9 and a half kilometer above challenger deep
A ship girl could be seen sinking deeper and deeper. Her clothes were tattered from battle, her white tails and ears dirty from the battle. She was barely conscious as she sank farther. She reached out a hand towards the faint light she could see if the surface and thought to herself.
Kaga thoughts: please don't let it end like this. Please... Sister Akagi, anyone... please help me.
IJN Kaga, first of the Kaga class aircraft carrier.
Though now her body was wrap around by a black looking tentacles, she was so close to unconsciousness that she couldn't even react to it. But now she could feel as the tentacles started to drag her down into the depths, with no way to stop it. She thought to herself once more before losing consciousness.
Kaga thoughts: please anyone help... me.
