Chapter 1
14 August 1913.
Barrow-in-Furness
Cumbria, Northern England.
"It's the English-born Japanese battlecruiser, Kongo."
So said the 31-month-old ship with what pride she could summon in her unfinished state.
For the last few years, there has been uncertainty for her. Mayor strikes have erupted across Europe. Workers want reform that protects their rights as human beings. The company has naturally opposed these movements, and to give in to these demands would reduce its profit and greatly diminish its reputation.
These strikes have affected Britain as now it suffers from many work stops, which has paralyzed many of its production conveniences, luxuries, critical goods, and services such as food, clothing, and weapons.
Weapons like the unfinished battlecruiser Kongou, ordered by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1910 and laid down on July 17th, 1911.
Month earlier, the dockworkers of the shipyard stopped working in order to protest for better remuneration for their craft and for the improvement of safety standards in their job. But sadly it is the last straw for the Imperial Japanese navy.
"This delay is unacceptable," said the Japanese dignitary, who for the first time broke his customary face by showing that he is irritated by the delay again.
"I'm sorry sir, but the workers are on strike." exclaimed the poshly dressed Vicker representative.
The IJN representative replied, as if it were the simplest thing ever, "Then just make them work again."
"Your dockyard cannot complete this ship in 31 months while Kongo sister ship has been laid down 11 months after your Hiei was launched last year and her sister ship has been due to this year."
'So my sister will be serving Japan while I'm stuck in a dockyard. That is good to know,' whispers the unfinished battlecruiser.
"Sir, it's not our," said the Vicker representative before being cut off.
"So, as such, the Japanese navy has decided to cancel our order for Kongo" Continues the impeccable dress Japanese representative.
"Please reconsider this, sir, the warship is almost complete" panicky Vicker representative exclaimed.
"That is your problem, not our now." The Japanese start walking away from the unfinished representative while the Vicker representative starts to chase him down to try to salvage the situation.
Back on the bow of the unfinished battlecruiser, young women stare at the comically chasing scene that is happening with a shocked expression. "So they decided to cancel me' she said, with tears rolling down her face.
14 August 1913.
Barrow-in-Furness
Cumbria, Northern England.
In many timelines where the Japanese kept her or the Americans bought her, she would not have fought her sister or her cousin as a German. Nonetheless, a choice separates this timeline from the other as a compromise was made in the German naval high command to study Kongou and refit her as a German warship.
In the few weeks following the cancellation of the battlecruiser by the Japanese. Vicker have station guard along her unfinished hall to prevent disgruntled workers from sabotaging her.
The young women sit on her unfinished hall staring out to the sky thinking about what would have been possible if she wasn't canceled by the Japanese and what would have been like if she met her sister when a sound has been heard as a Vicker representative walk in with 3 formally dress dude.
"So this is Kongo?" asks one of the formally dressed men.
"Yes, this is the battlecruiser Kongo" nervously exclaims the Vicker representative.
A few days ago, he was informed that he was to take Admiral Hipper to inspect a possible buy for the high sea fleet.
An opportunistic buy from the Albion by the German to deny the Brit a battlecruiser a battleruiser arm better than every german one faster than every german one too but with less armor.
"Finished her," order Admiral Hipper as if he was unhappy with this in his mind he thinking 'it a Albion battlecruiser for god sake, with the damm Brit equipmentment too, but nothing a refit or a rebuild couldn't fix' as he thought that he start to calm down.
'What?' She thought 'the jerry are buying me?'
As 2 month passed as Vicker got a new buyer for the ship and the negotiation with the Dockworker finished with the dismay of the company but to the happiness of the ship sprit the strikes ended and work resumed on the battlecruiser but now the work was done as she roll off the dockyard.
As the temporary German crew board the the now finished battlecruiser they set sail for WillhelmsHaven to be right for duty and study for weakness to help the High sea fleet beet the grand fleet.
This should set the tone of the book sadly it will no tea Kongou or dress bot in this book due to many circumstances as Hiei would be taking Kongou spot in many of the scenarios that Kongou would be in so Hiei is a dress bot now
After having read "Indestructible Spirit" where the Brits take Kongo after the Japanese can't, I am intriqued where this is goint to go.
That said...
A minor correction: Wilhelmshaven and Hamburg are two seperate cities and ports. Both have shipyards.
And Hamburg was never called anything else but Hamburg.

Well before ww1 alot of country can buy thing from there rival so I just extended it to unfinished battleship and battlecruiser and that Vicker was desperate to clear the yard so they could have higher paying contact with the Royal Navy so they sold it too any one wanting to buy it.

Chapter 2
20 May 1913.
Wilhelmshaven
Shipyard
As Kongou pulled in from the North Sea, she rushed off to the shipyard so that she could be studied and refit to be ready for service with the German navy, and so a new rebirth have begun as the young woman screamed as the yard worker disassembled her gun and her armor for a month. She screamed it was like you are awake during surgery without morphine or pain meds it is like torture, but as the 2 months go by as the dissembling stops, and the reassembling starts.
As the engineer and yard worker studied her cutting-edge 14-inch gun and the yard worker disassembled her secondary armament, the ship's spirit thought.
'I really don't mind being disassembled but can you please be more gentle with me' she said with no reaction from the crew as they could not hear her.
As she said, the real disassembly starts as armor plates, are pulled and the boiler and funnel are taken out. She screams in pain as it felt like she getting surgery while she awake she felt pain like never before, but a few minutes later she fell asleep as the bridge was disassembled from her super hall.
(Being disassembled and reassembled is like a rebirth of a ship in my opinion, and when the Germans replace every Brit-made item in the hall, it's like you created a new ship, so Kongou will lose its memory of being built in Britain.
As the ship awoke in the hall of Kongou, most of the equipment and gun and even the mast were replaced by their German equivalents, as she was made to be a one-off ship in her class the Graf Spee class of battlecruisers, the only ship in the German navy to be arm with a 14-inch gun with a top speed of 28 knots she is arm like a battleship but have the speed of a cruiser but sadly to the dismay of the yard worker and the navy design board they can only add 10mm worth of armor before the speed take a hit.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x–x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Where was she?" She asked herself. It felt like she was just out of surgery. It felt like she missing something. As she tried to focus, she saw that she was in a yard with workers warming her like a swarm of ants doing last-minute checks on her.
She tried to focus and saw that she was in her hall, but in front of her was a corridor.
While out side the yard workers celebrate that they completed the job, a storm has been brewing in the Balkans. A young woman awakens in the hall of the newly completed battlecruiser, the SMS. Graf Spee as she explores her hall, walks along her now complete corridor, and feels like she is missing something, like some memory, and that something doesn't feel right in her head and the ship.
As the ship's spirit walked out into the sun, she was greeted by a fellow battlecruiser, the SMS Seydlitz.
'Pardon me but I was wondering where are we' As she asks the battlecruiser turn and looks at her with black eye staring into her.
'Ah, I was wondering when you would wake up on your launch day. Well, congratulations. My name is Seydlitz, the only battlecruiser of the Seydlitz class of battlecruisers," said the now-named battlecruiser Seydlitz. ' and from the look of it and from what I heard, you are another one-off battlecruiser'.
"What's my name again?" she asked the battlecruiser in front of her/
"Oh, from what I heard, the naval command is planning to name you Graf Spee." Seydlitz answer.
Why did she feel like she was supposed to call Sydlitz with some random pronounce like senpai or onee san? She did not know as she stared at her now finished hall and the yard workers swarming around her and she though of Britain and her friend at Britain will she have to sink them , yes she answer but she also wonder why did she thought of the Albion as friend and cousin but before that she dismissed those thought as she sat upon her gun turret and look in to the city of Willhelmshaven not knowing the storm that is brewing in the Balkan that would result in the war to end all war.
Oh... OOOH
How could I forget!?! bangs table Graf Spee was a ww2 ships not 1. I blame my "low performance" mode that I've been running on my brain for the last few days. Really curious how you're gonna pull this up.

As she sat on her turret watching the worker perform amazing job installing her gun on her turret she was supposed to be a experimental battlecruiser testing Germania new weopon against the petrified Albion but she couldn't help but feel sad for some reason not known to her she felt sadness that she is missing something important like her sister, she wonder as she look out into the landscape of factory and the sprawling shipyard. When she was interrupted by a call.
'Answering your question we are in willhelmshaven while you are in the dockyard for the new few day I have to go to my commission celebration so byee in was nice knowing you, little sister' said Seydiltz as she walk away giggling.
'Wait sister, whattt why are we sister, how are we sister?(dess)' Ask Graf Spee (dess ship) and that she got no reply as new to her the SMS Seydilz went through her commissioning into the High sea fleet in service to the Kaiser of Germany.
'Don't mind her she just happy to have another addition to the family, where my manner my name is Lützow of the Derfflinger-class battlecruiser. It nice to meet a new addition to the battlecruiser family' said Lützow the battlecruiser that look like her in a way you could mistake them for sister if not for the 14-inch naval gun being installed Graf Spee.
'So wait you are one of the 3 Derfflinger-class battlecruiser that I heard from one of the worker then so are we half sister?' Graf Spee ask as work continues on her hall.
'Yea one of the Derfflinger-class battlecruiser, I think so our super structured look like each other but from the look of it you have bigger gun' as she finishes that she was attack by a bullet that is Graf Spee. As the 2 half sister giggled on the floor they Graf Spee realize that a hole have been patch in her heart that she now have a family. Some where I. Japan Heie is busy crying that she felt that she was replace by Kongou onee San.

21 December 1913.

Shipyard
The day have came a few week after the worker have finished refitting her she was launch with the celebration of her half sister Lützow and Hindenburg she was launch to clear the dry dock for new battleship to be build for the naval arm race while in Britain Vicker was flack for selling Kongou to the German.
Now at this time she was going to be commission to starve the Kaiser and the German high sea fleet and to serve with honor , the commissioning celebration was long and glorious as Admiral Hipper come to welcome a addition in to the his fleet with the 3 other battlecruiser as the celebration start Graf Spee felt happy as a bottle of champagne was smashed in to her hall and she was commission in to the service of the Kaiser.
Some where in some timeline a British lady yell in terror some how she knew that in one universe she was brought by the German the horror that entails.
'My savior admiral Hipper I will starve Germany and the High sea fleet to my best ability(dess) while she thought that she reminisces y to her half sister Lützow and Hindenburg and even Derfflinger how happy have she been when she came into port and they surprised her she thought of that time. But somehow she can't seem to get Japan out of her mind when she heard that Huruna and Krishima was launched she can't seem to get it out of her mind.
As she sail out to the North Sea carrying Admiral Hipper on her maiden voyage she felt happy to serve and to be free from her dock yard and felt the wing flying through her hall and impact her armor plate she felt happy and free like a bird now that she can finally find her duty and to defend her family.
Author note: so this chapter is at an end what do you guy think of it I try to get an update out every day or two day an update so please be patient and wait for the updates
Have a good day
So do you want her to station at east Asia or with the rest of scouting fleet 1 one would have to fight her sister and one would fight at Jutland.
The European theatre would be preferable/would make more sense since that's where the main fighting force would be stationed at, and where Germany would be fighting more. Don't know though if other disagree with me.
And you could change some battles results as you wish since a Kongou in the High Sea Fleet would be certainly causing a lot of shenanigans.
They will be change anyway as now Germany have 8 battlecruiser ready rather then 7 so many battle results would change anyway as the Royal Navy would also be building 2 more battlecruiser to counter Kongou

She didn't know why she dreaded the fact that if she were to be assigned to the East Asia Squadron, she would have to fight the Japanese battlecruiser and somehow she dreaded that moment.
She was here to reinforce the Scouting fleet in preparation for the arrival of Derfflinger. In front of her was 3, in front of her was Von de Tan, Molke, and Seyditz waiting for her to pull in and dock beside them.
When she finally docked, she was greeted by a cheerful voice that belonged to Seydilz. "So you are finally here now," she said happily.

The war has officially begun as Britain declares war on Germany for its aggression in Belgium. She thought, "Now we have to fight the royal navy and the French navy." She thought solemnly as she realized that they had an equal fight that they might win or not, but some of them are going to sink.
"How are you feeling?" asks Seydiltz as they both are together on a patrol mission.
" not well I just have this feeling that the war will take some of us away. And i don't want any of you to sink (dess) " Graf Spee said with sadness in her voice
"Then we just have to sink the Albion first," Seydiltz said nonchalantly.
They were some cheers from the destroyer and the escorting light cruiser as Graf Spee make up her mind and thought ' if I sink them fast enough they won't have the ship to sink my friend and family' she thought as she reply "your right sister " in the last few months they both have bonded as they are both 2 unique (one of them is not really one dess, I still have Hiei Onee san) a battlecruiser ( fast battleship dess) and that they have a higher understanding of each other's feelings.
The rest of the mission was peaceful and it would be remembered by most ships from the mission that it might be the last peaceful moment they had.
While in Britain, a battlecruiser looked at the new paper with a solemn look as she thought ' I'm sorry sister if I have to sink you."

The fated day was here as war have been declared as the world shave in a nationalists way of patriotic ready to died for they country not knowing they walking in to a meat grinder that the world haven't seen before as the way central power mobilized for war while the entente mobilized it would be a few day before the first battle start and the first casualties but the war will bring change that will rock the world.
The German fleet know that a battle is coming some time in a few week as the German navy prepared them self to face their fated enemy, but while all of them prepared them self Graf Spee is conflicted as what is she going do why is she sad that something is happening why isn't she want to earn glory for the fatherland like her sister and family.
While the ground war have gone smoothly as the battle of the frontier resulted in a German victory and many have speculated a repeat of the the war in 1871 that the war would end by Christmas but sadly Graf Spee doubts that with a naval battle on the horizon is in sight she was going to be in a squadron with cruiser SMS Manze.
As its flagship nonetheless for a battlecruiser of the Kaiser navy. Her sister have celebrated this promotion as the new young sister Dellifinger was desperate for the same action and was extremely happy for her.
A battle is approaching and she don't know where it will happen but she know she would have to sink the Albion battlecruiser if she want to protect her sister as she went to sleep that Night she saw a dockyard in the Barrow and she saw a young women in a Japanese style priestess uniform approach her. (The dess bot is here praise the lord of desss)
As the women approach her she feel like she is familiar with this place with her for some reason but she suddenly walk toward her without acknowledging her as she walk toward a ship next to her as they hug each other Graf Spee start to reconsidered the ship next to her as Princess Royal a Brit battlecruiser as she walk toward them she heard.
'Good morning Louis senpai how are you doing today' ask the battlecruiser that she is on
'Ah good morning Kongou I hope you are fine after the nip cancels you' said Princess Royal
But as she try to approach them she suddenly woke up as if something is trying to prevent her from getting too close.
(Noooo the dess bot is gone)
As she woke up she start to clear her mind and gone out to socialize with her squadron as it flagship and she had to be a example of a flagship for escort to look up too.
'Miss Graf Spee are you ok, you look like you had a bad sleep' ask a cruiser behind her before she was bombarded by many questions from the escort.
'I'm fine Mainz just had a bad dream that all' said Graf Spee.
'If you say so Miss-flagship' said Mainz
For the last few day she was assigned to the cruiser squadron she had bonded with the cruiser SMS Mainz the most as they both had similar personalities she just hope Mainz made it out of the battle unscathed.
28 August 1914
At around 07:00
Graf Spee was shocked to find the Brit attacking them as the only battlecruiser sent out to intercept them she was shocked to find 5 battlecruiser of the Brit there but her captain start the attack but suddenly water sprout start happening as 10-14 inch shell start landing around her.
But her crew fire back with luck or not a shell hit the energy battle line and flame start to sprout on one of the enemy battlecruiser but suddenly the ship got rip apart in a fiery explosion of steel and metal.
POV Princess Royal
She felt sadness when kongou was cancel but then she felt anger when she heard that kongou was bought by the jerry and she had to fight her some day she hope the German would scrap her if only to prevent the pain of having to duel her in a gunnery dual but that reality came crushing down when a radio message have been heard ' German battlecruiser spotted look like one of the Graf Spee class'
A tear roll down her face when she heard that most British ship have not been that affected when kongou was brought by the German but for her is was hell. But the anger at the German was turn to her the copy of Kongou in from of her that dared desecrate her little sister. And as the order was given she'll have been fire.
But it miss all of them it all miss the target but a few minutes later the thunder of the German gun fire and a few minutes the terror fill the radio as one of Graf Spee shell hit the HMS lion and the crying start as Lion pray to god that it does not explode her ammunition storage but later it start to scream and the. It was cut off as a firearm explosion erupted from lion gun battery.
All the British froze even the sailors as destroyed try to rescue lion crew HMS lion have been lose with all hand on board not even a survivor have been sighted.

The correction
5 August 1914
Wilhelmshaven, Naval base, Battlecruiser row
The fated day has come, war has been declared and the world shivers as nationalists march their way to the nearest recruitment center. Ready to die for their country - unconsciously walking into a meat grinder that the world has never seen before - as the way power involved mobilized their armies for war.
It will be a few days before the first battle will begin, with the first casualties being recorded after the aftermath, in this war that will bring a change that will shake the world.
The German Navy knew in advance that war was coming and arranged accordingly a few weeks before the declaration. The ship's spirits themselves were prepared to face their enemy, but while all of them were somewhat ready to kill them one stood out. Graf Spee's thoughts were a conflicted mess, thinking as to what she was going to do, why is she sad that was is happening, and why she is a little hesitant to want to earn glory for the fatherland like her sister and family.
While the ground war was forecasted to proceed smoothly - like the battle of the frontier which resulted in a German victory or how many expect a repeat of the war in 1871, where it ended by Christmas - Graf Spee doubts that it would be the same case on the naval side of things.
A battle was on the horizon and she was going to be in a squadron with the cruiser SMS Manze, as its flagship nonetheless, worthy for a battlecruiser of the Kaiser's navy. Her sisters celebrated this promotion when they heard the news, and Dellifinger's newest sister - despite being desperate for some action - was extremely happy for her.
She didn't know where it would happen - she would have to check later - but what she did know was that she would have to sink the Albion battlecruisers if she wanted to protect her sisters. It was with these thoughts that she went to sleep that night and she dreamed of a dockyard, the Barrow dockyard her mind helpfully suggested, and there she saw a young woman in Japanese style priestess uniform approach her.
Despite never having seen the woman before as she approaches her, she feels like she is familiar somehow and for some unknown reason, she suddenly starts to walk toward her without realizing it until they are face to face. Silence permeates the area until suddenly the Japanese woman raises a hand as if inviting her to grab it, Graf Spee pauses for a moment lost in thoughts until she proceeds to grab the offering hand, only for the woman to start to vanish in numerous glitters of light the moment they touch each other..
Startled Graf Spee takes a step back glancing around, her mind trying to understand what was happening, and only at that moment does she take notice of the ship she's on, a battlecruiser with Eastern features. Where on the deck of said ship was the same Japanese woman that vanished in tin air not a moment ago together with another woman, European in appearance and speaking to between them.
"Good morning Ļ̥̦̖̱̦ͅo͚͖̹͖̼u̟͕͍͕̹̼̭i̴̸̘̼̠̱͉͕̭̖͞s҉̰̞̹͚-senpai how are you doing today?" asked cheerfully the b̬̮͍͎̜̰̼͚̲a̤̰̺͍̰̗̘͡t͏̶͉̹̫̘͓̥͓͠t̶̟͕̭̠͙̩͕ͅļ̖͇̱̞̥̲͇͢è̵̡͙̫͇͎̘͎̪c̩̫̩̜̖͝ͅr̩̱͡u̘͖̕͜i̡̭͉͚̜̗̥̠̻͡s̷̙͢e̗̹͡r̥͈̤͇̬͕̲͇͔͠ ͍̼̲͎̝̠ͅ
"Ah… good morning K̷̰o̩̬̟̙͍̕n̸͓͟͜g̸̦̰̞̲̤̼͈͘o̷̦̠̙̞̖̤ͅu̴̦̖̬̫̰̦̝ͅ, I'm hanging in there. I hope you are doing fine after the Ń͕͎̞̬̼̞͢i̶̬̬̻̭̩̮͘ṕ̣ canceled you" said P̀҉̞̬̬̝̤̱̲r̷̡̙̦̘͖͇̬̙i͔͙̮̭̫̩n͚̭̺͈̟̬͉͟c̴̸͓͎̟e̖̮̳͖̜s̸̞̘̥̥͖̺s̡͎͔̣͚̲͙̬̫͞ ͏̩̭̳͈̞̠͍́R̸͕͖̜͖̪̲ó͉̕y̴̧̮͕̬̜͝ͅa̠̭͇̮̘ĺ̲̺͢ with a sad tone in her voice
But try as she might listen to what they were saying she couldn't so she tried to approach them, only to suddenly woke up as if something was trying to prevent her from getting too close.
As she stirs in one of the bed compartments inside her she clears her mind and with a decision she hadn't before goes out to socialize with the rest of her squadron - as its flagship she had to be an example for the others to look up to.
"Frau Graf Spee, are you feeling okay? you look like you had a bad sleep" ask a cruiser before she was bombarded by many other questions from the escort.
"I'm fine Mainz just had a bad dream that's all" said Graf Spee.
"If you say so Frau-flagship"
In the next few days following her entry to the squadron, she committed to bond with all of the members, with SMS Mainz being the more amiable as they both had similar personalities.
She just hopes that Mainz comes out of the battle unscathed.

Graf Spee was shocked to hear that the Brits were attacking them and if she wasn't then she surely had to be when she was sent out to intercept them. There she found 5 British battlecruisers with escorts, but as her captain was starting to shout the order to fire the British launched their salvos first, with water sprouts starting happening all around them as 10 to 14 inch shell started falling out into the sea - fortunately missing her, though as they mainly serve to calculate the following ones the next would be more dangerous.
Startled but not deterred her Capitan resumed to shout his order and when her cannons roared as they fired back the winds seemed to have their backs as shells scored hits on the enemy battle line, with shouts of exultation coming from the crew that resounded throughout her.
POV Princess Royal
She felt sadness when Kongou was declared canceled but was then replaced by anger when she heard that Kongou has been bought by the jerry and that she might have to fight her someday if the Germans didn't scrap her, shamelessly hoping that they would if only to prevent the pain of having to fight a friend in a gunnery duel, but then reality came crashing down when a radio message arrived, stating that 'a German battlecruiser that looks like is the Graf Spee has been spotted'
A tear rolled down her face when she remembers that most British ships have not been as affected as her when Kongou was brought by the Germans, for her it was hell, but anger came back. The Germans have dared to desecrate her little sister, producing copies of her, and as the order was given all of the ships that composed the battle line spouted fire. Sending their projectiles roaring through the morning sky.
Misses, all of them had unfortunately missed their target and corrections were being made to assure that the next ones wouldn't but a few moments later a thunder sound came from the German ship as they fired their own salvos back. Tension filled the moment when the shells came crashing down on the sea and the terror filled the radio a moment later as one particular of the Graf Spee's shells hit the HMS Lion - penetrating the armor and hitting her magazine.
Princess Royal could see the shocked-terror-filled expression Lion made, her mouth opening to scream before she was engulfed in fire and smoke. An explosion erupted from one of Lion's gun batteries as she ripped apart as steel not able to contain the sudden change of pressure was sent flying - becoming dangerous shrapnel.
The British watched with anguish the unfolding events as destroyers pulled sharp maneuvers to try and rescue the downed ship crew. There was nothing that could they could have done as the HMS Lion sunk within seconds, generating strong water currents that pushed down and below the water the few men who managed to jump overboard.
Lost with all hands, will what the future reconds of this fateful day will state the the first blood of a bloody naval conflict of ww1.
5 August 1914
Wilhelmshaven, Naval base, Battlecruiser row
The fated day has come, war has been declared and the world shivers as nationalists march their way to the nearest recruitment center. Ready to die for their country - unconsciously walking into a meat grinder that the world has never seen before - as the powers involved mobilized their armies for war.
It will be a few days before the first battle will begin, with the first casualties being recorded after the aftermath, in this war that will bring a change that will shake the world.
The German Navy knew in advance that war was coming and arranged accordingly a few weeks before the declaration. The ship's spirits themselves were prepared to face their enemy, but while all of them were somewhat ready to kill them one stood out. The Graf Spee's thoughts were a conflicted mess, thinking as to what she was going to do, why is she sad that was is happening, and why she is a little hesitant to want to earn glory for the fatherland like her sister and family.
While the ground war was forecasted to proceed smoothly - like the battle of the frontier which resulted in a German victory or how many expect a repeat of the war in 1871, where it ended by Christmas - Graf Spee doubts that it would be the same case on the naval side of things.
A battle was on the horizon and she was going to be in a squadron with the cruiser SMS Manze, as its flagship nonetheless, worthy for a battlecruiser of the Kaiser's navy. Her sisters celebrated this promotion when they heard the news, and Dellifinger's newest sister - despite being desperate for some action - was extremely happy for her.
She didn't know where it would happen - she would have to check later - but what she did know was that she would have to sink the Albion battlecruisers if she wanted to protect her sisters. It was with these thoughts that she went to sleep that night and she dreamed of a dockyard, the Barrow dockyard her mind helpfully suggested, and there she saw a young woman in Japanese style priestess uniform approach her.
Despite never having seen the woman before as she approaches her, she feels like she is familiar somehow and for some unknown reason, she suddenly starts to walk toward her without realizing it until they are face to face. Silence permeates the area until suddenly the Japanese woman raises a hand as if inviting her to grab it, Graf Spee pauses for a moment lost in thoughts until she proceeds to grab the offering hand, only for the woman to start to vanish in numerous glitters of light the moment they touch each other..
Startled Graf Spee takes a step back glancing around, her mind trying to understand what was happening, and only at that moment does she take notice of the ship she's on, a battlecruiser with Eastern features. Where on the deck of said battlecruiser was the same Japanese woman that vanished in tin air not a moment ago together with another woman, European in appearance, and talking to each other.
"Good morning Ļ̥̦̖̱̦ͅo͚͖̹͖̼u̟͕͍͕̹̼̭i̴̸̘̼̠̱͉͕̭̖͞s҉̰̞̹͚-senpai how are you doing today?" asked cheerfully the b̬̮͍͎̜̰̼͚̲a̤̰̺͍̰̗̘͡t͏̶͉̹̫̘͓̥͓͠t̶̟͕̭̠͙̩͕ͅļ̖͇̱̞̥̲͇͢è̵̡͙̫͇͎̘͎̪c̩̫̩̜̖͝ͅr̩̱͡u̘͖̕͜i̡̭͉͚̜̗̥̠̻͡s̷̙͢e̗̹͡r̥͈̤͇̬͕̲͇͔͠ ͍̼̲͎̝̠ͅ
"Ah… good morning K̷̰o̩̬̟̙͍̕n̸͓͟͜g̸̦̰̞̲̤̼͈͘o̷̦̠̙̞̖̤ͅu̴̦̖̬̫̰̦̝ͅ, I'm hanging in there. I hope you are doing fine after the Ń͕͎̞̬̼̞͢i̶̬̬̻̭̩̮͘ṕ̣ canceled you" said P̀҉̞̬̬̝̤̱̲r̷̡̙̦̘͖͇̬̙i͔͙̮̭̫̩n͚̭̺͈̟̬͉͟c̴̸͓͎̟e̖̮̳͖̜s̸̞̘̥̥͖̺s̡͎͔̣͚̲͙̬̫͞ ͏̩̭̳͈̞̠͍́R̸͕͖̜͖̪̲ó͉̕y̴̧̮͕̬̜͝ͅa̠̭͇̮̘ĺ̲̺͢ with a sad tone in her voice
But try as she might listen to what they were saying she couldn't so she tried to approach them, only to suddenly woke up as if something was trying to prevent her from getting too close.
As she stirs in one of the bed compartments inside her she clears her mind and with a decision she hadn't before goes out to socialize with the rest of her squadron - as its flagship she had to be an example for the others to look up to.
"Frau Graf Spee, are you feeling okay? you look like you had a bad sleep" ask a cruiser before she was bombarded by many other questions from the escort.
"I'm fine Mainz just had a bad dream that's all" said Graf Spee.
"If you say so Frau-flagship"
In the next few days following her entry to the squadron, she committed to bond with all of the members, with SMS Mainz being the more amiable as they both had similar personalities.
She just hopes that Mainz comes out of the battle unscathed.

I'm not the best with English and my Punctuation skill sucks but at least I tried to correct you. Somehow though a few corrections became a rewrite of the chapter along the line and since there were parts I couldn't understand (or holes in some part of the story which I don't really know to have corrected and I also forgot where they where) well... well it's here so I hope you like it.
PS. I may come back to modify some errors here that I failed to notice beforehand.
Ah yeah, I remember now, is she alone like 1 versus 5? question mark because you said 5 battlecruisers but then some destroyers appear out of nowhere later on.
PS. Awaiting patiently for tomorrow next chapter realise, I liked the story so far. Have a good day.

Princess Royal POV
The moment that defines the battle was the sinking of HMS lions a sad story, a first combat deployment that resulted in her being sunk by the German battlecruiser Graf Spee.
When the shell struck Sunk HMS lion many Albion sailors have made claims to have heard the cry of HMS Princess Royal as Lion sank beneath the wave with all men on board.
'No' she cry out as she watched her sister sunk beneath the wave by a shell of the copy of Kongou ( I still don't know how you did the squiggly stuff for Kongou HOW???).
Maybe it was denial or sadness no matter how hard she cried no Matter how the others in the battleline tried to comfort her. She can't let this go her sister was sunk by the German like she seem to always remember the last few moment of Lion before being sunk by Graf Spee.
As tears roll down her face her sailor filled with vengeance for HMS Lion fires back with precision hitting one of the light cruisers with luck or not another shall go down with HMS lion.
POV Graf Spee
As the thunder of the British gun roared back the celebration was cut to the bridge officer to even the gunnery officer all pray for the shell to miss her but it didn't by pure luck as a salvo from invincible hit just behind her. She wa s lucky but the other did not have her luck.
As Mainz was struck by a vengeful shell from the Princess Royal.
'Mainz are you ok, I need a report' Graf Spee yell in the radio as the celebration have been cut short by the ungodly sound that is the British gun but she felt safe as the first salvo missed right but she was proven wrong as a shell struck Mainz.
'I'm fine , Fran Graff Spee, the shell had overpenetrated my superstructure,' reported Mainz as the bridge crew panicked to get a status report on the ship.
As the capitan of Graf Spee order the Mainz to retreat as there is too much of a risk for her to be sunk. And right now German can't afford new ship as raw material are being routed to the army for war production. 'Graf Spee to Mainz move out of battleline regrouped with Hipper battleground 20 click out over'
And there was the reply 'Jä commandant' as Mainz moved out of the battleline.
With vengeance Graf Spee fire back scoring a hit on HMS invincible knocking out her first turret.
POV PRINCESS ROYAL
hit her crew scream in happiness as her shell hit the SMS Mainz but as she start to celebrate the roar of Kongou, no Graf Spee gun fire back and the British battleline pray for a disaster not to happen again.
Now she made up her mind Kongou is no longer there; she had been replaced by the German spirit Graf Spee and she would sink her to honor Kongou and to bring peace to her sister. With guilt no longer on her mind she prepares to fire again.
But it suddenly Invincible scream in terror as a shell from the German penetrated her ground turret knocking it out it was pure luck that it did not detonated her magazine but a shell from one the the jerry light cruiser penetrate and detonate one of the destroyer magazine sinking her in a fiery death.
POV admiral Hipper
He knew the Brit would try something like this sooner or later that why he dispatch Graf Spee to intercept the Brit but he didn't account for her being out number 5 to 1 that is an odd he didn't like he just hope she live long enough for him to bring reinforcement.
"Capitan, how far are we out'
'18 click sir Fran Hipper' reply the captain
POV Graf Spee
Hit, her crew celebrate waiting for an explosion that will never come, she wants to celebrate but she just can't shake the feeling of guilt that rolled over her when she sunk HMS lion like she just sank a sister.
'Fran-Graf Spee do we retreat the Brit have out number us' ask one of the light cruiser SMS Adriade.
As the conversation start on the ship sprit a debate have been happening on the human side weather to cut they lose and retreat or to keep fighting hopping for Fran Hipper battleground to arrive in time. But the debate have been cut short as shell from the HMS Princess Royal hit the SMS Stettin damaging her.
``We shall fight,'' replied Graf Spee as if it an order.
'If Fran-flagship say so' reply Stettin
The reply was almost an anonymous agreement that was to keep fighting. And the battleline gun roared most hitting but some damaging some the the Albion destroyed one even managed to sink one.
POV Princess Royal
Order have arrive and we are to retreat when she heard that she try to argue back but it was no different as they cannot hear her as the ship spirit try to argue back as many have been friends with HMS lion they try to have vengeance for her killer the butcher of Heligoland Bight one of the many title that Graf Spee will receive in her life as a warship?
'We must not, we sink her the butcher we have to sink Graf Spee' cry Princess Royal she her sister goddammit she is going to sink Graf Spee
'Order have been receive Royal we have no choice we must retreat our scouting force have sighted 3 more German battlecruiser and 2 dreadnought coming we would have no chance against a battleship' reply inflexible the flagship of the task force
As the battleline and the task force pulled away they were surprised by a salvo from Graf Spee hitting her and it hurt a lot her back turret exploded as the round inside the breach exploded when Graf Spee round imploded inside her turret.
'Uhhh, it hurt so badly . Help' she cried out for help as the destroyer rushed up and down her to try and control the fire and her crew try to control the fire.
The battle have ended many ww1 enthusiasts have agreed that it was luck or faulty British gun that while it heavily damaged the SMS Stettin and Adriade and sink 3 destroyed the damage done to the Royal Navy was far worse as they lost the new HMS lion and HMS Princess Royal would be in a repair yard until December of 1914.
For the reaction with the grand fleet it did not go well with them I do not think it needed for me to narrate 40 lines of curse that some is so creative that even twitter have not thought of yet. ( the author have ran out of ideas just imagine a family losing a new member) for the battlecruiser of the British Royal Navy it spark vengeance in there eye a mission have appeared in there mind and they would complete it sink the SMS Graf Spee.
For the reaction in the British public it was sadness but it sparked a fire in them enlistment gone up and dockyard workers worked harder to efficiency never seen before for the lion the new paper wrote and the public believed.
But all while the British grand fleet is filled with vengeance one of them is conflicted
'What did they do to you, Kongou?' she asked herself, as the kongou that she remembers was a cheerful girl ready to serve Japan if the nip didn't cancel her they wouldn't have to fight each other now did they (but they also wouldn't be this story)
And for the German you would have wait to see

Maybe it was denial or sadness no matter how hard she cried, no Matter how hard the others in the battle line tried to comfort her. She can't let her sister be sunk by the German like she seems to always remember the last few moments of Lion before being sunk by Graf Spee.
As tears roll down her face, her sailor, filled with vengeance for HMS Lion, fires back with precision, hitting one of the light cruisers with luck or not, another will go down with HMS lion.
POV Graf Spee
As the thunder of the British gun roared back the celebration was cut to the bridge officer to even the gunnery officer all prayed for the shell to miss her, but it didn't by pure luck, as a salvo from the battlecruiser invincible hit just behind her.She was lucky, but sadly others did not have her luck.
As Mainz was struck by a vengeful shell from the Princess Royal.
'Mainz are you on I need a report' Graf Spee yelled on the radio as the celebration had been cut short by the ungodly sound that was the British gun, but she felt safe as the first salvo missed right, but she was proven wrong as a shell struck Mainz.
'I'm fine, Fran Graff Spee, the shell had over penetrated my superstructure,' reported Mainz as the bridge crew panicked to get a status report on the ship.
As the capitan of Graf, Spee ordered the Mainz to retreat as there was too much risk for her to be sunk. And right now, germany can't afford new ships as raw materials are being routed to the army for war production. 'Graf Spee to Mainz move out of battleline regrouped with Hipper battleground 20 click out over'
And there was the reply 'Jä commandant' as Mainz moved out of the battleline.
With vengeance, Graf Spee fired back, scoring a hit on HMS Invincible, knocking out her first turret.
POV PRINCESS ROYAL
Hit, her crew screamed happiness as her shell hit SMS Mainz, but as she started to celebrate the roar of Kongou, no Graf Spee gun fired back and the British battleline prayed for a disaster not to happen again.
Now she had made up her mind, Kongou was no longer there; she had been replaced by the German spirit Graf Spee and she would sink her to honor Kongou and to bring peace to her sister. With guilt no longer on her mind, she prepares to fire again.
But suddenly Invincible screamed in terror as a shell from the German penetrated her ground turret, knocking it out. It was pure luck that it did not detonate her magazine, but a shell from one of the jerry light cruisers shell penetrated and detonated one of the destroyer magazines, sinking her in a fiery death.
POV admiral Hipper
He knew the Brit would try something like this sooner or later.. That is why he dispatched Graf Spee to intercept the Brit, but he didn't account for her being out number 5 to 1. that was an odd he didn't like. He just hoped she lived long enough for him to bring reinforcement.
"Capitan, how How far are we out'?
'18 click sir Fran Hipper' reply the captain
POV Graf Spee
Hit, her crew celebrate waiting for an explosion that will never come, she wants to celebrate, but she just can't shake the feeling of guilt that rolled over her when she sunk HMS lion like she had just sank a sister.
'Fran-Graf Spee do we retreat the British have out number us' as one of the light cruisers SMS Adriade.
As the conversation starts on the ship sprit side, a debate happens on the human side is whether to cut their lose and retreat or to keep fighting, waiting for Fran's Hipper battleground to arrive in time. But the debate has been cut short as the shell from the HMS Princess Royal hit SMS Stettin damaging her.
``We shall fight, '' replied Graf Spee, as if it was an order.
'If Fran-flagship says so' replied SMS Stettin
The reply was almost an anonymous agreement that was to keep fighting. And the battle line guns roared, mostly hitting but some damaging some of the Albions destroyed. SMS Adriade even managed to sink one.
POV Princess Royal
Order had arrived and we were to retreat when she heard that she was trying to argue back, but it was no different as they could not hear her as the ship spirit tried to argue back. Many have been friends with HMS lions. They tried to give vengeance for her her and to sink her killer, the butcher of the Heligoland Bight, one of the many titles that Graf Spee will receive in her life as a warship?
'We must not, sink the butcher, we have to sink Graf Spee' cry Princess Royal and her sister goddammit she is going to sink Graf Spee
'Order has been received Royal. We have no choice. We must retreat. Our scouting force has sighted 3 more German battlecruiser and 2 dreadnought coming. We would have no chance against a battleship' reply inflexible the flagship of the task force
As the battleline and the task force pulled away, they were surprised by a salvo from Graf Spee hitting her and it hurt a lot. Her back turret exploded as the round inside the breach exploded when Graf Spee's round imploded inside her turret.
'Uhhh, it hurt so badly. Help' she cried out for help as the destroyer rushed up and down her to try and control the fire and her crew tried to control the fire.
The battle has ended. Many ww1 enthusiasts have agreed that it was luck or faulty British guns that while they heavily damaged SMS Stettin and Adriade and sink 3 were destroyed, the damage done to the Royal Navy was far worse, as they lost the new HMS lion and HMS Princess Royal would be in a repair yard until December of 1914.
For the reaction to the Grand Fleet did not go well with them. I do not think it is needed for me to narrate 40 lines of curse that some are so creative that even twitter has not yet thought of. (the author has run out of ideas. Just imagine a family losing a new member) to the battlecruiser of the British Royal Navy. It sparked vengeance in their eyes. A mission had appeared in their mind and they would complete it by sinking the SMS Graf Spee.
For the reaction of the British public, it was sadness, but it sparked a fire in the enlistment and dockyard workers worked harder to efficiency never seen before for the lion, the newspaper paper wrote, and the public believed.
But all the while, the British grand fleet is filled with vengeance, one of which is conflicted
'What did they do to you, Kongou?' She asked herself, as the cousin that she remembers was a cheerful girl ready to serve Japan. If the nip didn't cancel her. They wouldn't have to fight each other now, would they?
For the German side, you would have to wait to see
The battle of Heligoland Bight 1914 was the first ANGLO-GERMAN naval battle fought on 28 august 1914 it resulted in a stunning German victory with the sinking of the HMS lion(which as seen have appeared as a abyssal princess in command of the North Sea) by the SMS Graf Spee (Germany refused to summon any ship girl as to distance themself from old Germany) she had now earned many title given to her from battle but one would stick to her the Bucher of Heligoland bight
New paper reports remember Heligoland Bight 2020.
Yay mention of a edgy ship girl yayayayayayayayy
Bye, have a great day guy
(Just wait for Jutland in a few chapter at least or even modern day let just say that Princess Royal is still not happy with Graf Spee in 2020, the book of grudge will remember it)
If you see if you don't mind correcting them and I just want to put this out omake it is fine you guys can make anything a side story is ok I really don't mind.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you had a nice day.
Omake summoned
Japan needs new ship girl. It really needs the now as the. abyssal force cut down her remaining sally line she need capital ship to break the blockade even with the help of the us navy abyssal have kept going strong In blockading Japan like the rest of the world from the new of it it not good Australia had just been naval invader by the abyssal 2 year ago and from the new of it it have fallen yesterday only due to the combine strength of the Old IJN fleet they were able to hold on.
'Sir let get the summoning done' said one of the technicians on base that have not quit just yet.
'All right then let's get it going' replied Admiral Goto, a middle age man that looked like he had seen it all. He just haven't seen this one yet
As the ritual to summon ship girl (gacha like machanic) start they were trying to summon tosa or amagi but like most gacha game you do not get your wish Rhgjesus will decide on what you get.
When the light die down they saw a women in a black dress . (Just imagine kongou in azurlane Bismarck dress skin (blood start leaking out author nose)
'Jä, SMS Graf Spee reporting for duty ,commandant' ask the women
As the Admiral and the technicians look at each other they both said one words "fuck"
Some where in the North Sea 2 battlecruiser scream in terror and somewhere in Britain one battlecruiser scream in terror those who heard them always say the butcher is here.
(Hope you guy like the omake have a nice day)
I know English is not my first language I'm trying my best but as a reader and writer I understand that my English is not the best so I will try to find a proofreader.

August 28, 1914, 15:10
Heligoland Bight
Many mistook the time for when the battle was over. It was 15:10.7 full hours of engagement. Many had signed up for glory and an adventure, but that reality came cruising down on both sides when the first salvo was fired. When the war was over, many veterans agreed that it was hell on earth.
When the rear-admiral Hipper battlegroup had been sighted, the battle was long over by then as the Brits had withdrawn. The cheer was deafening as people celebrated their first battle, but for Fran Graf Spee, it was hell for her. The battle had cost them and the British dearly because Graf Spee had been the main target for the Albion battleline, but luckily most of the damage was superficial as SMS Mainz was sighted, and sadness washed over them as they saw her crew scuttling her. A few hours ago, when Mainz was retreating to Wilhelmshaven, she was struck by an ambush. She had fought valiantly, but it wasn't enough for the light cruiser. As a torpedo struck her bow and exploded her broadside gun.
It was a war. The sailors might celebrate a victory in battle, but for Graf Spee, the cost was too high. An unacceptable order would have doomed her friend. 'Why didn't I dispatch some escort for her' she berated herself as her crew pulled the remaining crew member from the tilting Mainz. The science was uncomfortable for her as she tried to comfort Mainz at the last moment.
While Mainz is ready to be scuttle as many have already accepted the reality of war when the British join in her flagship has not. Her flagship is still young, having only been in service for a year. She still hasn't accepted that she can't save everyone she knows.
"I meet you guy wherever ship goes when they sunk, maybe I get to see my predecessor, again," said Mainz after that she started to sink the last word was comforting in a way going her own way.
"Maybe I will see her again sometime in the future," Graf Spee said, comforting herself.
When Rear Admiral Hipper's battlegroup had been sighted, the fleet celebrated. With Molke and Von de tan sighted, the fleet exploded in a celebratory roar of happiness.
When the fleet has to regroup, orders have come from high command wishing that the rear Admiral does not waste his capital fleet of battlecruisers without permission from the (I know it is stupid, but one of the many reasons that WW1 does not have that many naval engagements). Look up The Battle of Heligoland Bight
The order resulted in outrage by Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz and many of the rear admirals and the admiral of the fleet. But the most affected by this order was the capital fleet. The most unhappy with this order was the battlecruiser fleet, as their purpose was to hunt down and destroy British-made ones.
But the time of battle shall come in another chapter as the author need to do more research.
(I promise it will be longer and with fewer grammar and punctuation mistakes as I am using Grammarly now.)
The German public has been happy since the war started and the German advance into France. They could not be happier as now a battle has been fought and it proves the superiority of the German navy over the Grand Fleet, but for the ship's girl, it was a celebration. She was a prize in the German navy for sinking HMS Lion. It was a propaganda victory for the Germans as nationalist sentiment ran high and enlistment was up.
But for Graf Spee, it was hell as guilt ran over her like flowing water. Outside her ship, she put up a proud mask of making glory for the German navy, but inside she was conflicted. She had just sunk a ship, a real ship, not just some target, and she was disgusted with herself for feeling proud. And that night, she dreamt again of a happier time.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the scene again, but it suddenly went black. But as the light went up again, she saw a woman in a garden drinking tea with a British afternoon tea time snack in front of her.

"Ah, you're finally here. Please take a seat, dess" said the woman in a Shine maiden outfit.
"Who are you and how did you do this?" asked Graf Spee a bit too forcefully if she ever thought of it again.
"Well, I'm you. To be precise, I'm your personality before getting a refit,dess "said the young woman.
"I guess I better explain it then, so when a ship is getting a refit, the purpose of the refit will determine if the ship girl is replaced or not." For example, if a ship is getting more anti-air or a new boiler, she doesn't lose her memory" said the Shrine maiden, still sipping tea.
"So you're trying to tell me that I lost my memory during a refit?" asks Graf Spee forcefully.
"That's right, dess. Ah, where is my manner? My name is Kongou. The canceled ship of the Kongu class battlecruiser, or now the Hiei class battlecruiser.

Heligoland Bight
Many mistook the time for when the battle was over. It was 15:10.7 full hours of engagement. Many had signed up for glory and an adventure, but that reality came cruising down on both sides when the first salvo was fired. When the war was over, many veterans agreed that it was hell on earth.
When the rear-admiral Hipper battlegroup had been sighted, the battle was long over by then as the British had withdrawn. The cheer was deafening as people celebrated their first battle, but for Fran Graf Spee, it was hell for her. The battle had been costly for them and the British, as Graf Spee had been the main target for the Albion battleline, but luck most hit was superficial in damage as SMS Mainz was sighted.
Sadness rolled over them as they saw her crew scuttling her. A few hours ago, when Mainz was retreating to Wilhelmshaven, she was struck by an ambush. She had fought valiantly, but it wasn't enough for the light cruiser. As a torpedo struck her bow and exploded her broadside gun.
It was a war. The sailors might celebrate a victory in battle, but for Graf Spee, the cost was too high. An unacceptable order has doomed her friend. "Why didn't I dispatch some escort for her?" she berated herself as her crew pulled the remaining crew members from the tilting Mainz. The atmosphere was uncomfortable for her as she tried to comfort Mainz at the last moment.
While Mainz is ready to be scuttled, many have already accepted the reality of war when the British joined in but her flagship was still naive. Her flagship is still young, having only been in service for a year. She still hasn't accepted that she can't save everyone she knows.
"I will meet you guys wherever the ship goes when they sink." "Maybe I will get to see my predecessor again, " said Mainz. After that, she started to sink. The last word was comforting in a way, going her own way.
"Maybe I will see her again sometime in the future, " Graf Spee said, comforting herself.
When Rear Admiral Hipper's battlegroup had been sighted, the fleet celebrated. With Molke and Von de tan sighted, the fleet exploded in a celebratory roar of happiness.
When the fleet has to regroup, orders come from high command wishing that the rear Admiral does not waste his capital fleet of battlecruisers without permission from the (I know it is stupid, but one of the many reasons that WW1 did not have that many naval engagements). Look up The Battle of Heligoland Bight
The order resulted in outrage by Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz and many of the rear admirals and the admiral of the fleet. However, the most affected by this order was the capital fleet. The most unhappy with this order was the battlecruiser fleet, as their purpose was to hunt down and destroy British-made ones.
But the time of battle shall come in another chapter as the author needs to do more research.
(I promise it will be longer and with fewer grammar and punctuation mistakes as I am using Grammarly now.)
The German public has been happy since the war started and the German advance into France. They could not have been happier as now a battle had been fought and it proved the superiority of the German navy over the Grand Fleet, but for the ship's girls, it was a celebration. She was prized by the German navy for sinking HMS Lion. It was a propaganda victory for the Germans as nationalist sentiment ran high and enlistment was up.
However, for Graf Spee, it was hell as guilt ran over her like flowing water. Outside her ship, she put on a proud mask to make glory for the German navy, but inside she was conflicted. She had just sunk a ship, a real ship, not just some target, and she was disgusted with herself for feeling proud. And that night, she dreams again of a happier time.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the scene again, but it suddenly went black. But as the light went up again, she saw a woman in a garden drinking tea with a British afternoon tea time snack in front of her.
