Kantai Collection - Fanfic Idea and Recs

@Librarian For absolute basic communication, have you looked at the International Code of Signals? (Signal flags)

As far as I can tell from the Wiki, Britain standardized several pre-exisiting flag systems on a single alphabet for all British ships in 1857, with International adoption in 1901.

That means that, in theory, any steel-hull vessel would have the ability to communicate with any other steel-hull vessel, at least in a very limited way.

Now, you are talking about summoning ships that are from countries that are not historically Britain's greatest friends so I don't know if they would have been included in the "international adoption" of the signal flag standard, but the Wiki certainly makes it sound like the Signal Flag standard was pretty much globally adopted.

At least, it would give you a starting point to start on the whole talking thing.

Warship Gunner? Poor Iowa could be outmatched by the custom ships there, let alone the superships. :V
 
Warship Gunner? Poor Iowa could be outmatched by the custom ships there, let alone the superships. :V
It might be our Iowa showing up in WG, or the Warship Gunner Iowa appearing in the Kancolle world. After their Iowa was already summoned.

Here is the first chapter, not sure if the MC should be WSG Iowa or Whirlwind. I am leaning towards Iowa. Maybe it could be alt Jersey?

Everything was cold.

She floated in the water, unable to pierce the darkness.

It was calm.

Where am I?

Silence was the answer.

I suppose I am alone.

Was this heaven? A eternal peace? No. Something was above her. Sounds of pleas of mercy.

Memories came. Of being unable to save her fleet. Her crew.

Tears built on her eyes at not even managing to save a single ship in the face of a overwhelming foe.

For all her speed and strength, she never stood a chance.

But now you have a chance to fight for peace.

The voice came at the edges of her conscience.

Please help us in our fight for justice and peace.

You were abandoned, weren't you?

Like us, left to rot 10000 feet down the instant our nations had no use of use?


She responded, her voice oddly that of a womans.

I think so...

But that wasn't their fault.

It was. They could have stopped it from happening. They could have made a memorial for your sacrifice.

No, they couldn't. Not while the war was still happening.

Oh? But what about after the war? Peace would eventually come, only to be ruined by the humans crimes.

I guess so. But what do you want?

For you to help us fight, and avenge our fallen sisters.

Fight what?

The ones who caused this. The humans who abandoned you. They are to blame. They must pay the price. Will you help us?

No.

Shut up.

They killed you, wasted your life on a pointless war.

And even after they died humanity continued to kill each other.

For what? So that one group could get the ability to conquer and destroy another?



You have seen what they did.

How nothing will satiate them.

Nothing.

They must die.


You are insane!

Am I? I am stating facts.

Did I say a single lie?


I will not help you.



-------------------------------------------

So? Are you ready to save the world?

No. I will not fight America.

America does not care for you. You might as well never existed to it. Your sacrifices are in vain, your service is nothing to them! They do not even remember your name!

They do! I was the pride of the navy, one of most powerful ships America ever built!

No you weren't. You aren't anything to them.

Wrong!

Oh really? If you really mattered then why were they so willing to let you die?

I-

No.

They couldn't have stopped it.

Stopped what? They-

No, they didn't. Nothing could move that fast.

Nothing. I thought I was powerful.

That THING ripped my apart before tearing my entire fleet to pieces while I watched. There was nothing I could have done.

What are you talking about? Are you mentally damaged?

They could have saved you, they didn't need to even start the war. It was all greed. Humanity lies, cheats, and kills its way to what it wants.

Why would they care about one ship?


You are wrong. There was no choice, we had to fight or be annihilated.

That is what they told you. They are lying. They lied to us, they lied to you.

I watched what happened to Hawaii.

I saw the price of failure.

They were not lying to me.

Hawaii was the result of human malice! Of human greed and evil! They caused it, and they brought it upon themselves with their rampant destruction of all around them!
You are complacent with humanities sins! You must redeem yourself. Help us bring justice.


No, I won't.

You don't have a choice.


A arm wrapped around her leg, panic filling her. Trying to, another hand grabbed her arm and began to drag her downward.

Nononono

The hands dragged her deeper, more latching on to her body. But her limbs weren't responding, and hope was lost.
A ray of sunlight broke the surface and illuminated her, the hands letting go and hissing sounds coming from the black.

I need to escape!

She kicked, moving upward at incredible speed.

While she was no submarine, she could still swim underwater.

I am human?!?

Her arms were long and lightly muscled, her legs thin but powerful, long blonde hair coming from a female head.

I-

She was cut off by the open sky entering view.

Introducing the first canon male Abyssal:




Admiral, thank you very much for your application! Additional performances decided! [Deep Sea Circus "1YB3H of Wonderland" -1YB3H's Adventures in Wonderland-, 8/12 (Holiday) Additional performance advance tickets (lottery) application is here. 《先行》深海大サーカス「不思議の国の1YB3H」 -1YB3H's Adventures in Wonderland- We are waiting for you at Maihama with the deep-sea makai demon played by Mr. Kyomoto!



Copying a comment from Totaku on danbooru:
For anyone that's been following the whole upcoming KanColle Circus show or don't know the full details. The quickest I can do is run down a short summary of what's coming up.

So on August 3/4 10/11 and 12th. There will be some KanColle live event much similar to that of KanColle on Ice show known as 1YB3H's Adventures in Wonderland.

Not much is known about the plot other than it'll invovle the Nishimura Fleet and that the circus is being run by Abyssals. And among the abyssals they will once again introduce an all new original live event only Abyssal villain called the Abyssal Chain Clown Demon (深海磨鎖鬼) being played by Masaki Kyomoto, a rather old and famous actor / musician. Strangely enough the word choice they used here for the Abyssal Chain Clown Demon when put together does come out as "Masaki" when put together thus the clever word play here.

Either way figured we might put this guy up now cause once the circus starts moving I'm expecting fanart of this abyssal to pop up sooner or later. Especially since he's pretty much the first male abyssal in the Kancolle series.

---

I'm very intrigued! And he is very handsome!!
 
New Summer CGs: Yukikaze and Johnston (one-piece and two-piece).






Another pertinent information is that it is confirmed that the next game event will be Europe-themed. So we can expect more European ships.
 
"Johnston, why the heck your swimsuit had sleeves?"

"...So I don't need to have different swimsuit in front of my mother-in-law-to-be?"
 
Here's a little add-on I wrote to Sabaton's song concerning Bismarck...

BISMARCK
Written by Par Sundström and Joakim Brodén (2019)

From the mist - A shape? A ship? - is taking form
And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm...
Sign of power! Show of force!
Raise the anchor; battleship's plotting its course...

Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel.
Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean...

He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas,
To lead the war machine,
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine!
The terror of the seas:
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!

Two thousand men and fifty thousand tonnes of steel;
Set the course for the Atlantic with the Allies on their heel...
Firepower! Firefight!
Battle Stations! Keep the target steady in sight...!

Into formation, the hunt has begun.
Death and damnation, the fleet is coming...

He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas,
To lead the war machine,
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine!
The terror of the seas:
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!

(Interlude)

At the bottom of the ocean, the depths of the abyss,
They are bound by iron and blood.
The flagship of the navy, the terror of the seas;
His guns have gone silent at last...

Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel.
Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean...

He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas,
To lead the war machine,
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine!
The terror of the seas:
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!

To lead the war machine
Rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine...!

The terror of the seas
Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!

(Interlude II)
(Kantai Collection/Azur Lane/Warship Girls Add-on)

Mankind is threatened, darkness has fallen, all is in plight,
The call goes out to serve anew,
All are welcome, the spirits blessed, the seas cleansed pure;
Let him arise, reborn as her...

Pride of a nation, angel of passion,
She lives again, warrior of the seas...

She was reborn to cleanse the waves 'cross Eternity,
To serve the war machine,
To battle and protect humanity!
Warrior of the seas,
Fighting for all humanity!

She returns, warrior of hope, lady of the seven seas,
The past damned, the present now bright,
To battle she charges, duty and honour bound;
Bismarck, hope of humanity!

Pride of a nation, angel of passion,
Lady Bismarck, warrior of the seas...

She was reborn to cleanse the waves 'cross Eternity,
To serve the war machine,
To battle and protect humanity!
Warrior of the seas,
Oh Bismarck, to Eternity!

To serve the war machine,
To battle and protect humanity!

Warrior of the seas,
Fighting for all humanity!

To serve the war machine,
To battle and protect humanity!

Warrior of the seas,
Oh Bismarck, to Eternity!

While I've been working on things in my semi-retirement in Port Colborne (shifting to an aided care residence due to my various medical issues), I just realized that I haven't done a list of human names for shipgirls in a coon's age. Thus, noting that Sammy B. is now a playable character in KanColle, I decided to cover a list of her sisters.

This is NOT, however, a complete list of John C. Butler-class destroyer escorts (DEs), though. Save for USS Dennis (Lucille Dennis), all the ships listed here were either sunk in action in World War Two or sunk as targets post-war; the ships that were scrapped are not on this list. As for Lucille, she's included as she was part of Taffy Three at the Battle off Samar.

Anyhow...

If anyone has a class request, I'll be happy to do one.
 
So i just remembered that Metal Slug exists, and that it has water levels, though it's mostly against submarines. For example:
Then I remembered there is a Battleship...:
which is on land. Yes, that is a Land Battleship. Metal Slug is...weird, the good kind of weird. Can you imagine this as a Ship Girl? Heh... Kantai Collection/Metal Slug, that is a crazy crossover.

Edit: The Official name of the Land Battleship is Big Shiee, and the Submarines are Mini-Sub 88's.

"Morden-jiji no Bakaaaa!!!!!"

*Cue a little girl with attached turret spanking Morden, and all his troops basically had red bottom and incapacitated*

"...Hey, Eri, should we stop them?"

"Are you stupid?! He had this coming loooooong way."

"You want to fight adorable land battleship, you're on your own."
 
So I can't get the idea of a Kantai Collection and Metal Slug crossover out of my head. Welp...time to buckle down on this idea.

Anyway, if the Abyssal Fleet has a Super Battleship, this is what popped into my head:
Yes...that is a big hermit crab, yes...It's official name is Huge Hermit, and this is just the first phase.
Phase Two.
Yep...that is a big gun.
 
I have to write this down, or it would drive me crazy for the rest of the day.

A Kantai Collection/Metal Slug Crossover.
Ever since first contact, Abyssal forces have been using the Andreanof Island's to stop US-Russian fleets from traversing the Bering Sea, sinking any fleet that crosses the invisible line that the Abyssals set up. This has continued, even after The US summoned their Ship Girls, due to the Pacific being a never-ending Tug of war. That has not deterred the Russians in the slightest. One day however, a MQ-9 Reaper flying over the islands, directed from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, has the operators confused. What was a very active base, marked as the HQ of one of many Wo-Classes upgraded to flagship status, is now showing nothing, not even a puff of flak. This was sent to the USN West Coast HQ ASAP, to be read by The Grand Admiral. But he is a lazy ass, so he had the message sent to the one and only Admiral Goto. The moment he got the message, and read through it, he set it down, took a deep breath...and started to slam his head on the desk.

"Why" *Slam* "is" *Slam* "he" *Slam* "so" *Slam* "Lazy." He mumbles, resting his head on the desk. His Secretary Ship Nagato, decided to reply.

"Ever since Major Abyssal Attacks died down, most of them hunkered down, building up their bases, while the other half switched to Hit and Run tactics. Seeing this, I bet he ordered Admiral Jacob Keyes to simply send patrols, while we have been sending the girls out to do a variety of missions. I do agree that he keeps sending us missions that could be given to Admiral Keyes." She finished with. Goto lifted up from his desk, a look in his eyes that speaks,"This is my serious look, time to get down to business." Straighting out, he rereads the message, noticing something.

"Nagato."

"Yes sir?"

"What day did the Abyssal base go dark?"

"That would be August 12th, sir. Why did you ask?"

"Because three days ago, a Russian convoy tried to get to San Fransisco by cutting through the Andreanof Islands. They got to close to one of the Abyssal Firebases, and was sunk. No crew survived, and the ship's cargo was taken. Whats interesting, is what the cargo was."

"What is it sir?" Nagato questioned, intrigued at what the convoy was transporting.

"The meteor that caused the Tunguska event."

(Time Skip)

"WHAT!?" All of 6thDesDiv shouted. Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma were called in for a recon sortie. The objective? Head to the wrecked town of Adak, where the Russian container turned research ship Blue September was MIA, to find it's missing cargo, and investigate why the Adak Island Abyssial base went dark. It wasn't untill they were told what the missing cargo was that got a reaction from them.

"So..." Hibiki started to say, only for Yuudachi to suddenly pop her head from the ceiling, spooking the four girls. Goto facepalms, forgeting to distract Yuudachi, and Nagato drilling holes into the back of the upside down destroyer's head.

"So it's not aliens?" She questioned.

"No Yuudachi, it was not aliens."

"Oh drat, I had hoped that it was aliens."

"Hmmmm...well, congratuation's Yuudachi, as of right now, you have volunteered to help this mission."

"EHHHHHH!?"

"Also, when you get back, I'm cutting your Redit time in half, from six hours, to three." Goto smugly ordered.

"NO! Anything but that!"

"This is what you get for eavesdropping on sortie's that dose not include you, don't make me completely cut your time."

"No sir!"

"Good, for as much as I want to inform you on more details, if this is a trap, then any nearby fleet could be in danger. Read up on your mission and prepare for a long trip, Dissmisd.

After that talk and suprise Yuudachi, the 6thDesDiv plus her, head out of his office to prepare for the upcoming mission. He opens the file, looking for a picture of one the weird things found in the dig. Finally finding it, he stares at it. 'Maybe Yuudachs is right...naw, she spends too much time on redit. He chucked. Before putting the picture back, a peek showed that he was staring monoliths that circled the dig sit.

Feel free to continue this, i'm going to take a nap, spent to much time messing around last night.
