Chapter II - The Sleeping Giant Awakes
Akagi POV
I was walking around Sakura Empire's base with my half sister, Kaga.
Kaga: Hmm...
Akagi: What's wrong, dear sister?
Kaga: It's Eagle Union... I have fears that we have awoken a giant, and it's not happy... I fear that we have awoken that giant and filled it with a terrible resolve...
Akagi: ... Hmph~... So you have the same feeling too, huh? I don't know what the future holds for us, but so long as I get to spend most of my time left with you, *smiles softly* I'm happy.
Kaga: *soft smile* Thank you, Akagi.
Akagi: I can't help but feel bad for their admiral. He was so kind to us when we were injured....
Kaga: I know... We owe him a lot... including our very own lives and yet, we've most likely ruined his life. After all, news has arrived that Arizona has fallen...
Akagi: ... I... can only hope we don't come face to face with his wrath, because I've seen how he's dealt with severe insubordination and being crossed...
Yorktown POV
I was with my sisters, Enterprise and Hornet. We were sitting in the cafeteria but nobody was really eating and nobody was talking. The shock of the attack was still going strong. Our commander however, has rarely been seen since the attack.
Hornet: I hope Y/N's okay...
Enterprise: He watched his own fiancée die in front of him... and in his own arms no less...
Yorktown: I'm worried... He's rarely out anymore... If only we can talk to him...
As if on cue, our Admiral walked into the room.
Yorktown: Admiral!
Y/N: What?
Hornet: H-How Are you doing?
Y/N: Busy...
Enterprise: So what Are you going to do About the attack.
Y/N: Nothing. We rebuild first then we annihilate Sakura Empire... Please follow me.
We nodded our heads and followed Y/N through the cafeteria and outside where we walked over to a hidden port that was underneath the hill that we had next our base. We then walked inside after he punched in a code to a secret door and when we walked inside, we were shocked by the ship inside.
Enterprise: What... is that?
Y/N: *hands her blueprints* MY ship... CVN-65 Enterprise... Named obviously after you. Although I'll give it a different name once it's completed.
Hornet: S-So do you plan on fighting with us?
Y/N: Yes...
Yorktown: B-But sir! The Seas are dangerous! W-We need you to stay here and-
Y/N: I am your admiral. You can always give me your ideas and suggestions, but don't tell me what I can and can't do, Yorktown...
Yorktown: *gulps* Y-Yes sir...
Hornet: So when will CVN-65 be Ready?
Y/N: In a matter of a few days at the very least to two weeks at the very most...
Enterprise: It's going to be mainly based off of my ship?
Y/N: Yes. It will have more power and armor as well modern anti-air and anti-ship missiles...
Yorktown: Anything else?
Y/N: Everything modern like enhanced radars. When the ship's ready, I'll need your help to learn how to control him...
Enterprise/Hornet/Yorktown: Him?
Y/N: It's the ship I'll be using so it's only natural that it'll be a male.
Enterprise: Fair enough... Y/N?
Y/N: What?
Enterprise: How have you been?
Y/N just looked at us with dull tired eyes. He then sighed and shook his head.
Y/N: I'm fine... just grieving.
Hornet: What have you been up to?
Y/N: What I'm doing doesn't concern you, but if you must know...*looks at CVN-65* I've been overseeing the construction of CVN-65... that and visiting Pennsylvania...
Yorktown: How much sleep have you gotten air?
Y/N: *sighs* Not much...
I walked over to Y/N and hugged him.
Yorktown: You should go to your office and get some rest, okay? If you want revenge, you'll need to have enough energy to even walk.
Y/N didn't answer but slowly nodded his head. I then stopped hugging him and he looked at us without his usual smile, which was chilling to see him without it.
Y/N: When you're done here, do NOT tell anybody about this...
Girls: Yes sir.
Y/N nodded his head and walked away. Once he was gone, we all looked at each other.
Yorktown: Let's get going...
Enterprise: *stoic* Right...
Hornet: You okay Enty?
Enterprise: Yeah. I'm just thinking of what has happened. Before all this happened, we were great friends with Sakura Empire, even despite our conflicting views on siren technology... and then suddenly, we're attacked by them. It makes me wonder if they were really our friends or if they were just faking it. Was their Attack planned From the very beginning? Or did their admiral order the attack?
Yorktown: I hope it's their admiral because maybe if we kill him, peace can come back to both sides...
Hornet: Yeah... I hope that too...
We then left and walked around the base when we noticed a woman that didn't belong to our faction...
Hornet: Hey. Isn't that a Royal Navy ship?
Yorktown: Yes, she's a Royal Navy ship.
Enterprise: I Wonder why she's here...
The Royal Navy girl looked around, seemingly lost. We then walked over to her.
Hornet: Hiya. What brings Royal Navy here?
???: Oh! Good afternoon. I'm afraid I'm completely lost... My name is HMS King George V, but you can call me George if you wish.
Yorktown: Nice to meet you, George. I'm Yorktown
Enterprise: I'm Enterprise.
Hornet: And I'm Hornet.
George: Nice to meet you all. I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm here.
Yorktown: Yes. That would be accurate.
George: I was nearby when we, Royal Navy, got the news of the unexpected attack on Pearl Harbor. Her majesty, Queen Elizabeth, sent me here to meet with Commander Y/N Nimitz. Do you know where I can find him?
Yorktown: We do, but he's most likely asleep by now... I told him to get some rest.
George: I see... I hate to ask, but do you have anywhere I could stay until I can talk to him?
Yorktown: Of course. We'll get you a guest room here.
George: *Bows* Thank you Miss Yorktown.
We then led George to a spare room. When we got there, she thanked us and asked us to give her a tour of the market district, which we happily agreed to. Once it got dark, we and George headed back to the dorms.
