Had an idea for a crossover quest. From the depths is a game where you build vehicles (primarily ships) and attempt to conquer a planet. thought it would go good with Kancolle, so I wrote this to see what people think.
Will do another snippet if there's enough interest
From the Depths/Kantai Collection
"Oh joy, More of them."
I cant help but vocalize my displeasure at what I'm seeing on the drones camera feed. More of those twisted, abominable ships.
The first time I saw them was about a day after I had woken up here; Wherever "here" was.
The stars in the sky don't match Neter's. Waking up to stars in the sky was one of the last things I expected when that huge metal obelisk from the Scarlet dawn exploded, rather than collapsing like I had expected.
Most of my ships were outright destroyed, only some remained seaworthy. Those that were sinking more than swimming were scrapped and used for repairs. That left me with One battleship, two cruisers, three destroyers, one submarine and of course my base.
When I saw them approaching, I had hoped that the cover didn't represent the book. But unfortunately looks proved to not be deceiving when their pathetic destroyer flotilla started firing at me.
Not even the White Flayers were that stupid. But there was something about them, it was more than the disgusting appearance and bad feeling they gave off. Their behavior, they fought more like pissed off wild animals than anything.
But there was nothing they could have done. Six destroyers where no match for my fleet, no matter how bruised it was.
After the battle I resumed my peaceful search for resources and oil. A few days in, I have found
nothing. And I'm starting run worryingly low, even with the scrap generously provided by my defeated enemy.
And now I have to deal with a fleet that could destroy my fleet if I slip up, and cripple it if i'm not careful.
One battle ship, one heavy cruiser, 2 light cruisers, and 5 destroyers. With a possibility of submarines.
No chance of running, the base wasn't built with speed in mind.
Great.
my mood starts to match the salty Ocean.
---
An overwhelming boom breaks apart the air as my flagship lobs six 51cm shells across ten kilometers of open ocean. Heard loud and clear, even in the bridge closed an armored from the outside.
My flagship, the
Kodiak, based on a design I found digging around through my parents documents. It was titled 'A-150', she was my fleets first capital ship and remained its flagship for my entire campaign across Neter. She's recieved many upgrades since then, and along with her sisters became a feared sight across Neter.
And right now, shes the reason I'm winning. Her multi-ton shells clobbering the enemy fleet as they continue to approach, only speeding up their doom as the projectiles get more and more accurate.
With confidence in my victory, and the promise of some scrap, I can't keep a smirk off of my face.
It disappears the moment I look at the radar screen. Planes, lots of them and heading my way.
Now I'm back to worried.
