Princess Admiral (Worm/Azur Lane)

[madhat886]

!

In front of the hospital are a line of police cars, Armsmaster, Miss Militia and Velocity arrived at the scene other heroes are already there or still on their way. The city is in a panic right now as what looks like a large group of new Empire capes who are all women had attack the Winslow highschool injuring many students and teachers as they tore it apart chasing after Shadow Stalker in civilian identity has been exposed as a number of students saw her used her powers as she was chased around the school, till the empire capes captured her.

Now she's being held hostage by the Empire capes and three other students. They brought the four girls to the nearest hospital where one of the girls was taken inside and being treated by the medical staff. Under the eyes of younger capes while the older ones stood guard outside the hospital. All of them had strange tinker weapons and equipments that look like parts of warships. Many of them have the equipment either attached to their bodies in some way, or are just floating around them.

The young ones had their equipments on backpacks or handheld for the most part. The older ones some had theirs on backpacks like the younger ones and some are armed with normal weapons like swords or guns. But others just had their equipment float around them, and are shaped like creatures of the sea or ships, with many having shark like heads with eyes and jagged jaws, with some having dragon like heads for their weapons. A group of the capes are all riding on top of what like like hover bikes.

Speaking of which all of the capes are able to hover in the air like their equipments, or simply are riding on top of them. Also many of them are wearing clothes that show off or reveal lots of skin, even the younger ones. Many of them also have wild hairstyles and hair colors that look like something right out of an anime. (1)

All the heroes of the city are being called in to handle the situation before the hospital becomes a battleground. They're all holding back as Shadow Stalker and 2 of the 3 girls are being held in the jaws of those mechanical monsters. All three have their arms and legs hang lifeless like rag dolls, all of their bones in their arms and legs have been crushed crippling them for the rest of their lives. All of them have passed out from the pain, but one of the girls had waken up and was crying before falling silent again.

"Where's the 4th girl?" Armsmaster ask Glory Girl who flew over to him.

"Inside still being treated and under heavy guard. I tried talking to one of the women but all she spoke was German. Another who speaks English told me that they will only speak to someone with authority," Glory Girl said.

Armsmaster nodded as he spoke with command and got the go ahead, walking towards the women who stared at him. The turrets and mechanical monsters also turn their attention to him.

"I'm Armsmaster, I speak for the PRT," Armsmaster said making sure all could hear him as he amps up his voice. "Who speaks for you?"

One of the young women began floating towards him, a blonde with green eyes. She is wearing a modified version of a Kriegsmarine's officer uniform. Specifically, it resembles the one used by admirals of the German Navy with black-grey coat, cap, and is holding what looks like a special ceremonial baton. The cross Hipper wears around her neck is the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, one of the highest military medals awarded in Nazi Germany. She has two shark like mechanical monsters floating on either side of her.

"I am KMS Admiral Hipper, I speak for our fleet," the woman said as she waves to the three hostages held in the jaws of the mechanical monsters they control. "I want these 3 arrested for assaulting a royal princess of the house of Hohenzollern."

"What?" Armsmaster asked completely stun.

Author's Notes -

1 - The shipgirls can hover in the air when they're using their rigs both on water and on land. They're slower on land then they are on water. The reason why, is that the artwork shows the rig weapons just floating in the air not attached to some of the shipgirls. So in this story the shipgirls when using their rigs can hover in the air.

"Matching the blood sample from the hospital, shows that the newest parahuman, Taylor Hebert / The Admiral does come from Germany from her mother's side of the family," Dragon said who's been using her computer network to trace the bloodline of the Hebert girl.

"Is she blood related to the old German royal family?" Piggot asked over the com channel.

"Yes, I managed to trace it to the House of Hohenzollern from Henry's bloodline the brother of William 2nd the last German Emperor and King and Prussia. Which would also make her a princess of the royal family of England thanks to Princess Victoria being the mother of her great something grandfather. Still trying to find out how he fathered a child that wasn't recorded," Dragon said.

"Most likely the the prince was away from home and met up with a girl. It happens," Piggot said. (1)

"Yes, it most likely why. Was out having a good time and ended up fathering a child he had no idea of," Dragon said.

"And what of the claims that those German women are actually warships?" Piggot asked.

"The German ships that were kept around as museum ships have disappeared and strange storms had appeared over the sites where the wreckage of the other ships were located. The strange thing is the aircraft carries of the German navy were never made, but some of the ships are claiming to be just planned ships," Dragon said.

"How many are there?" Piggot ask dreading the answer.

"There are 66 shipgirls as they call themselves," Dragon said.

"Shipgirls?" Piggot ask.

"Three of the young girls who are grade school age from the looks of them, call themselves that," Dragon said bringing up a picture of three small girls in the waiting room of the hospital. Watching the tv placed there for the kids to watch while they wait.

One of the girls is coloring on the strange hybrid of machine and monster. It looks like it has two heads and has two gun turrets on one head and two more on the other. The girl is using the flat surface as a drawing board. Another girl is sitting on one that looks like a three headed flying dragon with the and clutching a gun turret in her arms. The last is sitting on a small boat with torpedo tubes on the right side and a gun turret on the left. The thing that caught Piggot's attention is that the girl has oversized metal clawed gauntlets on her hands that look as big as her but has no trouble moving around with them or used them. And that she has a long metal tail coming out from under her black dress.

Little Prinz Eugen, Zeppy, and Little Spee, they're the youngest looking of the shipgirls and act like small children. They also have older counterparts who they say are them but older," Dragon said.

"Never mind are they what they claim to be?" Piggot ask.

Dragon brought up a radar and sonar scan she did on the hospital to detect how many of the shipgirls there are. Instead of showing the women and their strange weapons, the pictures showed the outlines of ships and submarines. With a picture of the shipgirls and side by side to compare their locations.

"My god," Piggot said as she knows that powers are bullshit at times, but this is too much.

"The Hebert girl is still hasn't waken up yet. The shipgirls are claiming that they heard her cries for help and came to save her and punish the ones who harm a royal princess. The WW1 era shipgirls miss being apart of an empire and hate what happen to their former empire afterwards. The WW2 era shipgirls are looking forward to serve their new Fuhrer who isn't the madman who took control," Dragon said.

"And they're just going to wait till she wakes up?" Piggot ask worried of what happens if she doesn't wake up.

"Yes, that's their purpose. They serve the royal heir who has the power to call upon their strength and bring them to life," Dragon said.

"Any idea what they're able to do?" Piggot ask.

"None, so far but all of them will be high level brutes from the damage they caused at the school. Shadow Stalker and her two friends, arms and legs are crush. There are footage of the shipgirls crushing their limbs with their hands like crushing an eggshell. They have no bones left in their limbs, its all crush," Dragon said.

"Have, Panacea patch them up after she treats the Hebert girl. She's needed to get her projections under control. As for Shadow Stalker have her lock up with her two friends," Piggot said, not wanting to deal with an army of projections going on a rampage. And if they find out they haven't lock up the one who harm their princess, they just might do that.

Author's Notes -

1 - The reason why Taylor is a princess is because her great something grandfather slept with a girl he met while away from home.

Armsmaster could only stand by and watch as the three young women who caused this mess Emma Barnes, Sophia Hess, and Madison Clements we're taken away, all of them are in critical condition due to their injuries. The shipgirls had Panacea heal them, just so they can torture them more. They shaved the girls heads, followed by them lashing the girls backs leaving deep bloody cuts, followed by them actually being strip of their clothes followed by being tarred and feathered. Where they were paraded around the hospital for hours, leaving them sobering wrecks. Finally making them crawl to safety, all awhile they're being film by cameras catching their humiliation for the world to watch.

The girls will never be able to live it down, it will follow them for the rest of their lives. Of them crying and begging for their lives, as they were whip while being mock and jeered. Followed by having hot tar poured on their naked bodies and then covered in feathers. Being paraded around for hours by the shipgirls before being made to crawl away.

Armsmaster knows that the young women will live but this will follow them for the rest of their lives. Tarring and feathering undoubtedly caused pain and a lot of discomfort and inconvenience. But above all it was supposed to be embarrassing for the victim. Mobs performed the act in public as a humiliation and a warning, to the victim and anyone else, not to arouse their wrath. In this case the shipgirls of the Iron Blood fleet made it clear that they won't allow anyone get away harming their princess. And there's nothing they can do about it as the shipgirls just have too much firepower.

Just to show off what kind of firepower they have, one of the shipgirls Z21 used her gun which looks like a toy gun of a shark with a gun barrel coming out of the mouth, on one of the wreck boats of the boat graveyard. The cannon according to her is a Single 127mm (SK C/34), the gun looked like it wouldn't have dented the hull of the wreck ship, instead it left a huge hole in it instead.

From Dragon's scans, the damage matches what a 127mm shell would do. Meaning that all of the weapons the shipgirls are armed with from a shaker effect, even with a toy size gun that fires a shell that is modeled after a 500 pound shell, is still being shot by a 500 pound shell. The guns of a battleship are the largest guns made with only the German railguns having heavier shells. And the 66 shipgirls are all armed with the most advance weapons of their time, as the Germans went with sheer firepower and armor. If they went on a warpath, there be nothing the PRT could do to stop them. (1)

Armsmaster attention was turned to the shipgirl, August von Parseval a carrier who turns out to be able to fly, like the other carriers. And then there's her rigging that takes the form of a truck size dragon with the flight deck as it's wings, allowing it to fly. For August herself she flies by a black stone throne with a large black stone rock around it, giving her a platform that other shipgirls can ride on. She's the one who flew Z21 to the ship graveyard and is floating next to him.

"Is all of this really worth it?" Armsmaster asked.

"Our princess is the heir of her house who has the power to bring us to her in these new forms," waving to her human form of a busty woman. "This is fitting punishment for harming our princess. We utterly destroyed their credibility and reputations. This will follow them forever, we only allow them to live because their lives are in our princess's hands. And she is the only one we will listen to or take orders from. Just be glad that we're not doing more. We're expecting all those who allowed this to happen in the first place be punished or we will take matters into our hands."

The PRT HQ -

Piggot could feel the headache coming from the news footage of what is happening in front of the hospital. She has no idea what to do with all that is happening but once thing she knows for sure. Heads are going to be rolling by the end of the week.

A call from the government caught her attention.

"This is Piggot speaking," she said answering the call.

"This is Eddy Tomorrow from Foreign Affairs. I want your people to stand down, we're sending people to handle the mess your cape made," the man on speaker said.

"What?" Piggot asked.

"Since the news broke out, we been getting calls from the German government about a member of the Hohenzollern house being put in a hospital by one of your capes. They want to confirm her being of the royal house but with her being a parahuman who can turn German warships into shipgirls as they call themselves, they're very interested in her. Is she a member of the Hohenzollern house?" Tomorrow ask.

"Yes she is from her mother's side, Dragon did a blood test on the Hebert girl," Piggot said seeing how high up this has become. Already texting Armsmaster for him and the other heroes to stand down as this is now a diplomatic matter.

"Just great, anything else?" Tomorrow ask.

"She's the granddaughter from prince Henry the brother of William the last ruler of the German empire and since his mother is a daughter of queen Victoria of England. She's a member of that royal household as well," Piggot said.

"Oh fuck, this is a real mess your cape put us in," Tomorrow said over the speaker.

"I know, and her head is going to roll," Piggot said.

"Is the Hebert girl awake?" Tomorrow ask.

"Not yet," Piggot said.

"Inform the department when she's awake. I have the German and England embassies to inform, I want the blood test sent to the department so that, I can give it to the ambassadors so they can send it to their people to verify. And this is no longer a PRT or Protectorate matter and your department has no say in what happens. The last thing we need is for your people making a bigger mess of things. Both governments will be trying to win her over, to come live in one of their countries," Tomorrow said.

"Would the countries really be after her?" Piggot ask.

"She has an army of battleships in human form, with their weapons having the same firepower as being hit by a shell the size of a soda can, at the smallest from what, I can remember. There are only a few capes who be able to even take being hit by a shell that size and the bigger ones, the number gets stronger... Tell me have any of the Endbringers ever been struck by a navy gunfire?" Tomorrow ask.

"No, they're too small and fast for... the shells of a WW1 and 2 ships were design to destroy heavily armored ships," Piggot said realizing what Tomorrow is getting at.

"And there is if they have any other powers. This is too important for your department to mess things up by trying to strong arm her into joining the Wards. So do not interfere as this is no longer a cape matter," Tomorrow said. (2)

"Understood," Piggot said knowing that this is way too big for her to deal with. Besides, she still needs to rolls some heads before she's replace for letting this happen on her watch.

!

Author's Notes -

1 - Schwerer Gustav was the largest-caliber rifled weapon ever used in combat and, in terms of overall weight, the heaviest mobile artillery piece ever built. The shells fired from it are over 7 tons each.

2 - The shipgirls all have their powers in the game but no longer bond by gameplay rules. Like the ones who can create shields won't be gone after a set number of hits, but by the amount of energy they need to keep them up. Anything that makes sense for gameplay purposes like a long cool down period or like only being able to have a certain amount of power before being drain, is no longer in effect. It be like it be for a real battleship for the most part.

The shipgirls do need to refuel and rearm which they can do by eating or drinking. They can also upgrade their old equipment, by having their crew which are the small birds in game but in this story be fairies that look like them, because I just don't like them. Grab said equipment or parts and install or replace said part.

And unlike in games where like using a flashlight will have batteries that drains fast, and you need a bunch of parts just to upgrade a single piece of equipment that in real life you don't need hundreds of scrap pieces just so that your gun has a piece of leather wrapping to let you grip better. The refits that some of the shipgirls can get will be realistic. Like them getting parts to make their boilers work better, will be like you just going to a store to buy a new chair after the old one breaks. Where you just have to put it together. Instead of doing something like collecting more materials then what would realistically be needed. As you don't need to collect over 500 scrap, just to end up with something that is wrap with ducktape. Or break something down and only get some scrap metal and five screws when you broke down a entire building.

So if anyone sees something that wouldn't happen in the game. Remember the stuff that happens for gameplay reasons, doesn't work anymore.

In her room in the hospital, Taylor is hooked up to medical machines while her father Danny sits next to her. He was held back by the police till, the shipgirls force the police to let him pass. The 3 girls who put her in the hospital are now in a cell, after they were publicly humiliated and paraded around after being tarred and feathered for hours. Before being made to crawl away, where the PRT troops took them away. Which caused Taylor to trigger and summon German warships from both world wars in the form of women.

The shipgirls seem to follow the logic of the the size of the ship is how old the shipgirl appears, with 3 exceptions. The destroyers age range came to be around from grade school age to around Taylor's age, the same went for the submarines. Who all wear skimpy clothes over swimsuits or just swimsuits, which seeing how they're shipgirls who are suppose to be in water makes sense for them wearing swimsuits, but is jarring to have young girls. No them being shipgirls means all of them are all either nearly a 100 or over a 100 years old. They just look and act like young children as they're not human but ships in human form. (1)

The cruisers age appearance are from older teens to young adults. The battleships and the carriers are all adults who like the younger looking shipgirls wear skimpy or form fitting clothes. Which shows off their more than ample figures that strain the clothes that they wear or lack of clothes. All of whom are completely loyal to his daughter who is from her mom's side of the family a member of the old German royal family.
In the room with him is one of the shipgirls, or two as she constantly changes her appearance whenever the other personality takes over. The shipgirl is the personification of... two separate SMS Emdens, both the legendary cruiser of the Dresden-class as well as the later 1916-era Konigsberg-class cruiser. He can tell which one is using their body by how they wear either black or white and which eye their eye patch is covering. Not to mention how they act, with her white color scheme, soft appearance, and gentle manner of speech would imply otherwise, Dresden Emden is actually quite sinister and domineering.

The other shipgirls are keeping guard outside the room and around the hospital. The smaller shipgirls are all around the hospital, keeping watch with those mechanical weapon beasts things they call their rigging. Even the young looking ones have them which scares the hospital staff of their presents.

"Dad?" Taylor ask waking up.

"Taylor you're awake," Danny said.

"Welcome back princess," Konigsberg Emden greeted her princess admiral.

"What?" Taylor ask looking at her dad.

"You triggered and now can summon shipgirls like Emden here. And it turns out your mother is part of the old German royal family," Danny said.

"I'm a what?" Taylor ask.

"It's going to take awhile to explain," Danny said.

!

Outside -

On a roof top, Armsmaster is talking with the Wards, Aegis, Clockblocker, Kid Win, Gallant, Vista, and Browbeat about Foreign Affairs ordering for them to stand down. The other heroes have been informed about the update orders already, it's out of their hands now. The government is sending someone to handle things as this is a diplomatic issue and didn't want the PRT to make things even a bigger mess.

"Her minions publicly humiliated, Shadow Stalker and her two friends, and we can't do anything about it?" Gallant ask.

"Sure, I'm not going to make a big deal that Shadow Stalker is now a laughing stock and will never be taken seriously ever again. But she is a Ward, we can't just let that slide," Aegis said.

"Really? You want to go after her and take on her army of minions with that kind of firepower just for a teammate that none of us like?" Vista asked.

"It's more about reputation, not that we care about avenging her," Clockblocker explains.

"We can't do anything about The Admiral. The government gives us the order to stand down. From what Piggot said, both Germany and England now have an interest in her, now that it's confirm that she's of royal blood of both countries. The government doesn't want to make this into a international scene, so we all stand down and let their people handle things," Armsmaster said.

"Well, I don't want to fight those shipgirls. They're too powerful and too many," a Kid Win said.

!

Back inside the hospital -

"They were tarred and feathered?" Taylor ask having learned what happen to the three bullies.

"We strip them fo their clothes and tarred and feather them. Then parade them around for a couple of hours before letting them crawl away," Emden white said.

"Good," Taylor said learning that the reason why the bullies got away with what they did to her is because one of them is a Ward, Shadow Stalker.
"No way this can be covered up," Danny said.

"And you destroyed the school?" Taylor ask again.

"Yes during the chase after Shadow Stalker we smash through the walls and anything else. We also smash quite a few of the students and teachers as we did so," Emden black said.

"And I'm a princess?" Taylor ask.

"You are of the bloodline of the German royal family and a member of the English royal family as well. From your mom's side of the family," Danny said.

"You all came when I called for help?" Taylor ask the shipgirl before her.

"Yes, there are more of us waiting for your call," Emden white said.

"This is too much," Taylor said laying back down on the bed. "I have my own army and of royal blood. How did that happen?"

"We don't know, just that we do know you are about of the royal house of Hohenzollern from Henry's bloodline the brother of William 2nd the last German Emperor and King and Prussia," Emden black said.

"And why do you keep changing clothes?" Taylor ask, every few seconds Emden would change clothes and which eye is cover by her eye patch.

"They're actually two ship that share the same name, sharing one body," Danny said.

"Oh," Taylor said staring at Emden and got an idea in her head. "Maybe I can separate you two."

"You can?" Emden ask.

"Well, I summon you all, maybe, I can summon one of you. Give me you hand," Taylor said grabbing Emden's hand and closing her eyes trying to use her power to summon them apart.

!

Outside -

Dragon since the German warships disappeared from museums or where they rested after being sunk, been monitoring for any report of any other ships disappearing. Strange weather patterns and energy readings began to be reported all around the world. The source is coming from the hospital where The Admiral is located.

"The Admiral is awake and using her power," Dragon said over the coms.

"What?" Assault ask over the coms.

"What do we do?" Gallant ask.

"Stand down," Piggot said over the com. "Dragon what's happening down there?"

Dragon using one of her drones has been keeping watch of the Iron Blood fleet.

"The Iron Blood fleet are all staring at the hospital. Looks like they're being called or can sense the use of the Admiral's power," Dragon said.

"Are there any new shipgirls?" Piggot ask.

"Still sorting through the data," Dragon said having to sort through all the different news coming from all over the world to find what she's looking for.

"Never mind, I see a huge number of shipgirls incoming from the south, Gad Street," Glory Girl said over the com.

"How many German ships?" Dragon ask having made a list of the German warships of both world wars.

"They're not German!" Glory said flying over the horde of shipgirls racing to the hospital with some of them flying in the air. "The British are coming!" (2)

!

Author's Notes -

1 - Please notes that the young looking shipgirls aren't really young girls. They are warships from both world wars and are nearly or over a 100 years old. It's the same thing with child looking characters who are really over a 1,000 year old long lived or immortal being. Or since the shipgirls are warships, would be more like avatars projections or robots.

2 - All the aircraft carriers can hover higher in the air then the other shipgirls, giving them limited flight capabilities.

The scene outside of the hospital is tense as the Royal Navy and the Iron Blood fleet stare down each other. The Royal Navy shipgirls are very different from their Iron Blood counterparts, as their rigging are more ship like then the mechanical war beasts the other shipgirls are armed with. Then there's how they're dress as a large number of them are wearing dresses and outfits that aren't navy or military style, with most revealing way too much skin. Not to mention a large number of them are dress as maids, with the older ones wearing fetish maid outfits. Curiously enough, the Royal Navy has a large number of buxom ships.

The Royal Navy have the numbers, while the Iron Blood have the firepower and armor. If they were to fight, they would tear apart the city. Which the PRT and the heroes were being ordered to get as many people out of the city if they started fighting. (1)

"What do we do?" Clockblocker ask, seeing how there is no time to joke with the stand off taking place right in front of him.

"We need to get as many people out of the area while we can," Velocity who being in the arm forces, knows what kind of firepower the shipgirls have. With the little display showing that their weapons have the same firepower as if they were the full size weapons found on warships.

"No you need to get in the hospital and get The Admiral to get control of her shipgirls," Miss Militia said.

"Look!" Vista pointed to two of the older shipgirls walking towards each other and stopping as they keep their eyes lock on each other.

"That's HMS Hood and KMS Bismarck. Hood was sank by Bismarck," Dragon said.

"This is bad," Armsmaster said.

!

With the Shipgirls -

"Hood," Bismarck said to her old foe.

"Bismarck," Hood responded to the one who sank her.

"Hood," Bismarck said her eyes narrowing.

"Bismarck," Hood said her eyes narrowing.

"Hood," Bismarck said her turrets taking aim.

"Bismarck," Hood said her turrets taking aim.

The other shipgirls also prepared their weapons as they stared down at each other. The heroes and PRT troops, police all began getting the crowds of people away before the gun start firing. Piggot was busy calling for help as things would go all down hill once the two fleets start fighting.

Two cannon fire silenced everything, a cannon ball struck Hood's right butt cheek and another cannon ball stuck Bismarck's left butt cheek. Causing the two shipgirls to give out a girlish shriek. Everyone turn to the one who fired the two shots. Standing in the middle of the two fleets is a woman with greying black hair, and wearing the uniform of a Royal Navy officer from the late 1700's.

Like the Royal Navy fleet she's flying the Union Jack flag but of an older style and has rigging like them. But her cannons are the old fashion cannons that fires cannonballs and the rigging is made out of wood. On her back she has a mast with raised sails on it.

"Enough," the woman said in a commanding tone, that reminded many how a grandmother would talk to young children. Which had the same effect as the Royal Navy shipgirls cowered before her, while the Iron Blood shipgirls didn't for the most part with only the young ones cowering. The older ones just frowned as they stared at the older woman.

"Victory, I'm surprise to see you," Bismarck said rubbing her butt. Hood on the other hand is also rubbing her butt but is walking back to her side, while staring at Victory. "Your cannons are obsolete. Didn't even leave a mark. Don't know why your girls even listen to you." (1)

"I'm not here to fight with you girl. I'm here to answer the call from the young princess. So you girls stop this at once, the princess won't like it if you two turn this place into a war zone," Victory said looking over the two fleets. "Queen Elizabeth you with me. Admiral Hipper and Friedrich der Grosse you two coming too."

"Wait why are we listening to you?" Admiral Hipper asked. "You're not our granny."

"I said move girl! We need to explain things to the princess," Victory said.

"She's the same as always," Friedrich der Grosse said walking to the entrance.

"Fine," Admiral Hipper said.

The four shipgirls walk into the hospital with the two fleets staying where they are.

"Victory?" Kid Win ask the group of heroes.

"HMS Victory, the oldest warship still in commission as a warship. She's an old fashion sail ship and looks like as a shipwoman in her case, she commands the younger ships like a grandmother to her kids," Armsmaster said.

!

Inside the hospital -

In her hospital room, Taylor is dealing with the fact that while she did get Emden to be separate into Emden Dresden and Emden Konigsberg she also summon a fleet of English shipgirls, numbering 102. And leading them is the flagship of the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy, HMS Victory. Who takes the form of an elderly woman unlike the younger shipgirls.

Standing next to her is HMS Queen Elizabeth, who unlike most other battleships, took the form of a young teenage girl with long blonde hair. She wore a crown and held a scepter, wearing an odd swimsuit that has long gloves and stockings. Of course she could just be just short. She claims to be in charge of the English fleet but one word from Victory makes her jump, reminding her of how some grandmothers have that effect on their kids. (2)

For the German shipgirls, KMS Admiral Hipper who has taken charge of the Iron Blood fleet, and Friedrich der Grosse who was the proposed H-39. Whether or not she's the Kaiserliche Marine's Friedrich der Grosse, somehow resurrected in a new ship class and frame. Queen Elizabeth at first thinks she's the same person (while wondering how that's possible) and even in "Rondo at Rainbow's End" clearly has some suspicions about the whole thing; and according to the Kaiserliche girls who were revived as their original selves (albeit with some "updates" that make their riggings more in line with modern IB design), their first, immediate impression was that this Friedrich was indeed the Friedrich they knew, and they have to look closely to realize that isn't quite right and there are, apparently, some un-elaborated-on differences. Friedrich, for her part, asserts that she isn't "the Friedrich they know"... but her wording is still ambiguous enough to be open to a variety of interpretations (which is likely intentional, both on her part and the part of the writers). She does seem to know a damned lot about the "old" Ironblood for someone ostensibly so new, but whether it's simply the result of research or something more is, again, left ambiguous.

Which ended when Taylor being in the same room while the two talk, ordered Friedrich to just spill it and tell her if she is or isn't the old Friedrich der Grosse. Which said shipgirl explains that she's the old spirit of the original Friedrich der Grosse but has a new body.

"Just for that, you're demoted to Admiral Hipper's first officer... or whatever and she's the flag ship of the Iron Blood fleet," Taylor said annoyed by Friedrich der Grosse playing being all mysterious.

"Hah!" Admiral Hipper bark at Friedrich der Grosse.

"All, I was trying to do was to summon the other Emden so that they wouldn't have to share a body," Taylor said. "Now, I have a second fleet of shipgirls from another country? How did that happen?"

"One of your grandmothers was the daughter of Queen Victoria of England," Queen Elizabeth stated.

"Oh," Taylor said.

"On that matter, with you nearly being killed by the ones who put you in this hospital. They need to be properly punish for their actions," Victory said.

"They're being taken to jail," Taylor said.

"We lash them followed by taring and feathering them and paraded them around for a couple of hours to publicly shame and humiliate them," Admiral Hipper said.

"Queen Elizabeth, your radio is on right?" Victory ask.

"Yes," Queen Elizabeth said.

"Turn it on, I have an order to give to the girls. And have it be an open channel," Victory said.

"Open channel," Queen Elizabeth said.

"The three young women who made a attempt on the life of princess Taylor Hebert have been taken to the local prison. Go and take them so they can be properly hang," Victory said.

"What?" Taylor asked.

"They nearly killed you. And as a member of the royal family, the 3 young women are to be hanged," Victory said.

"They're already in prison," Taylor said.

"And their crime still stands. A attempt on the life of a member of the royal family, is a crime not to ever be taken lightly. In my time we either hand and quarter the ones who tried and display their heads on pikes. We need to send a message to any would be assassins. I think rounding up their families and having them killed in front of them before they share their fate is called for," Victory said.

"I order you not to!" Taylor said.

"Can't do that," Victory said to Taylor. "You called us to your service, but we are still members of the Royal Navy and have a clear line of command. You are only a princess and this attack on you, just can't be ordered off by you. Besides we're a constitutional monarchy, the crown still has power but not at the level when I was young. And as I said your aunt is the current queen, while you're a princess. With this world full of superpower beings like yourself, a statement needs to be made that attacking you will result in a stiff response. They can't be let off lightly or that will show that people can torment you for years and nothing will be done about it. So, a example must be made, showing that it's not just any would be assassins or those who seek harm to you, their lives would be on the line. No, it be their families who will also suffer as well."

"One of the heroes, Dragon wants to speak with you. She's been listening in," Queen Elizabeth said.

"I know, that's why, I had you have an open channel for anyone to listen on in," Victory said.

"Want to talk to her?" Queen Elizabeth ask.

"No, but Dragon is it? If you don't want us to go and kill the ones who assaulted the princess here and their families. You are to put them into the Birdcage prison at once. No going to court, no dragging your feet, just do it. Or them and their families will be executed by me," Victory said.

"You?" Taylor asked.

"Yes by me. I'm old my princess, over 200 years old, my girls will merely bring the ones to be executed to me. I'm a jaded and grizzly soldier, who has done what needed to be done long and many times, where hearing the begging of a child to be hanged, I have long since gotten use to," Victory said. "So tell who you need to tell about my demands. For, I will always protect the royal family, no matter the cost. Even if, I have to be the villain to do it."

"Wow, you're really blood thirsty," Admiral Hipper said.

"When the situation demands it," Victory said as she looks to Taylor. "I know, I'm a monster to you, with what, I'm willing to do. I do it, because someone has to do things that leaves them scarred and be seen as a monster, so that the innocent can be protected, be able to sleep without fear of a villain breaking into their homes at night. If, I can't see that the ones who tried to kill you, not be punished, then, I can't be expected to protect you from other threats. This is my oath to you my princess. I will always be there to protect you and see that justice is done, for I see in your eyes that the people who suppose to protect you, failed so many times before. Which is why, I'm doing this. To show you what lengths I will go to see the ones who did this to you punished."

"I see," Taylor said seeing a someone who will protect her, after so long of none.

PRT HQ -

"Send the 3 girls to the Birdcage," Piggot ordered on the coms.

"What?" Armsmaster asked on the coms.

"You heard them. Unless you want to deal with something that would be like Slaughterhouse 9 event but with more firepower. I'm having the girls being taken to the Birdcage now, or we be dealing with those shipgirls not only killing them but their families as well. All to show what she's willing to do for her princess," Piggot said.

"Maybe we can have a high ranking member of the Royal Navy talk to her or have the other shipgirls to back down?" Armsmaster suggested.

"Victory is the First Sea Lord's Flagship, and the oldest commission warship. You saw how she cowered the Royal Navy fleet, she's the matriarch of that fleet. Even if she's the weakest, the shipgirls all follow her orders. And there are over a 100 of them. You really think we be able to stop them?" Piggot asks.

"No," Armsmaster said.

"If it takes throwing those worthless girls into the Birdcage to keep this from turning into another Nilbog event, so be it," Piggot said not wanting to go through that ever again.

Author' Notes -

1 - HMS Victory is still a commission navy ship of the British Royal Navy, which in real life is over 200 years old. Meaning on paper even if she was never used in either world wars, is a warship that served in both wars. And in 1941, Victory sustained damage when a 500 lb. bomb dropped by the Luftwaffe broke her keel. Which kind of makes her apart of the war and was too damage to take apart in it, even if it would had been more of training than anything else.

2 - The top (non-shiplike) portion of Queen Elizabeth's scepter is loosely based on the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross. One of the Crown Jewels, it has been used at the coronation of every British monarch since Charles II was crowned in 1661. Ironically, this means that her namesake never wielded it, as Elizabeth I died in 1603.

3 - Constitutional monarchies range from countries such as Liechtenstein, Monaco, Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, where the constitution grants substantial discretionary powers to the sovereign, to countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Japan, where the monarch retains significantly less personal discretion in the exercise of their authority.

Constitutional monarchy may refer to a system in which the monarch acts as a non-party political head of state under the constitution, whether codified or uncodified. While most monarchs may hold formal authority and the government may legally operate in the monarch's name, in the form typical in Europe the monarch no longer personally sets public policy or chooses political leaders. Political scientist Vernon Bogdanor, paraphrasing Thomas Macaulay, has defined a constitutional monarch as "A sovereign who reigns but does not rule".

In addition to acting as a visible symbol of national unity, a constitutional monarch may hold formal powers such as dissolving parliament or giving royal assent to legislation. However, such powers generally may only be exercised strictly in accordance with either written constitutional principles or unwritten constitutional conventions, rather than any personal political preferences of the sovereign. In The English Constitution, British political theorist Walter Bagehot identified three main political rights which a constitutional monarch may freely exercise: the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn. Many constitutional monarchies still retain significant authorities or political influence, however, such as through certain reserve powers, and may also play an important political role.

The United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms are all constitutional monarchies in the Westminster system of constitutional governance. Two constitutional monarchies – Malaysia and Cambodia – are elective monarchies, in which the ruler is periodically selected by a small electoral college.

Strongly limited constitutional monarchies, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, have been referred to as crowned republics by writers H. G. Wells and Glenn Patmore.

The concept of semi-constitutional monarch identifies constitutional monarchies where the monarch retains substantial powers, on a par with a president in a presidential or semi-presidential system. As a result, constitutional monarchies where the monarch has a largely ceremonial role may also be referred to as 'parliamentary monarchies' to differentiate them from semi-constitutional monarchies

The members of the Cauldron are meeting to discuss the recent events that happen in Brockton Bay. The news stations have been all over how 3 highschool girls had triggered a fellow highschool girl causing her to summon a fleet of German warships in the form of young women calling themselves shipgirls. Followed by the 3 being lash then tarred and feathered with them being paraded around for hours. Followed by the new parahuman, The Admiral summoning a fleet of English shipgirls. Who made the PRT to throw the 3 girls into The Birdcage, for their attempted murder of The Admiral.

The Baumann Parahuman Containment Center, better known as the Birdcage, is a prison for parahumans that have committed crimes severe enough that they must be removed from society. It is not designed to allow prisoners to leave after they have been imprisoned within it. Because prisoners are only meant to enter the prison, prisoners are loaded onto an elevator with limited oxygen.

The Admiral or Taylor Hebert can command the shipgirls but her orders can be ignored as she tried to order HMS Victory to stop but she refused to follow the order. For she's a princess of both the British royal family and of the former royal family of Germany. And Victory being the oldest commissioned warship, followed the laws that dealt with assault and attempted murder of a member of the royal family. Which was to kill the girls family members in front of them before doing the same to them. The only way out was to throw the girls into the Birdcage where they would become the prison toilets if they weren't just raped and then killed by the inmates. In that order if they're lucky, for there is no guards in the prison and the only order came from the block leaders of the different cell blocks.

In the room the meeting taking place in are the members of the Cauldron, Doctor Mother, Contessa, The Number Man, Legend, Alexandria and Eidolon.

"The shipgirls are blocking my powers, I cannot see their actions. They're not powered by the shards, the Hebert girls shard merely summon them," Contessa said.

"Their powers are unknown then. Any idea what they can do?" Legend asked.

"I used several paths of victories where I tried to kill The Admiral. All of them ends with me being killed. They can eat and sleep but don't need either, but eating food does refuel and refill their ammo, but other than that they don't need to eat. They also don't need to breath, and they're completely immune to any form of mind control or having their weapon systems turn against them. Tinker-tech or any other technology controlling power doesn't work on them either. From what I glimpse from those paths, they're able to do more then use naval weapons from their time. Some of the shipgirls are able to create shields, that activate whenever I tried to attack from a distance. When I try to kill her by getting close, the shipgirls usually stop me and when I did kill The Admiral, I never make it out alive for long. And there's what happens to the shipgirls when I do manage to escape, they always track me down and even break into here more than once. And they have killed all of you in those paths. Their weapons are like String Theory's Driver weapons," Contessa said. (2)

"As in the weapon she was trying to knock the moon out of orbit with?" Alexandria asked.

"It explains why their weapons pack the same punch as if they're full sized," The Number Man said.

"You were saying something about them changing when The Admiral dies?" Eidolon asked.

"They become like... twisted versions of themselves and the longest where, I stayed alive. Global shipping had grind to a halt with all the shipping lanes have become too dangerous to sail through and coastal areas are mostly abandon as the shipgirls bomb them from off shore and raid them for supplies. They became even a bigger threat then the Endbringers, thanks to them being more active," Contessa said.

"Then we have to make sure The Admiral stays alive then," Doctor Mother said.

"Are the shipgirls really that powerful? Didn't we in those paths kill some of them?" Legend asks.

"About that, turns out they can be killed. Its just that they can be rebuilt and any weakness they had before, had been upgraded using modern technology. You yourself killed both Bismarck and Tirpitz, both of them were rebuilt and return the favor by using you as a wishbone and tearing you in half," Contessa said making Legend flinch at the thought of being torn in half. (1)

"Wait how do they upgrade themselves?" Alexandria asked.

"About that," Contessa said.

Brockton Bay -

Taylor lay back on her bed as she uses her ipad to view what's happening at the docks where her dad works at. Turns out her shipgirls can desummon their rigs placing them in a subspace pocket, or make their original ship's body to appear. HMS Warspite had summon her ship's body and it's now dock at the port at the dockyard. The other Royal Navy shipgirls are now living on her ship, Friedrich der Grobe is doing the same for the Iron Blood fleet. (3)

The shipgirls of both fleets have been busy as they been stripping the abandon ships of the boat graveyard for parts. They also been draining the boats of any remaining fuel and other fluids used to maintain machinery. Which they drink to top off their fuel tanks. Turns out the shipgirls resupply their fuel and ammo or repairing by eating and drinking, with the food being turn into what they need to fill up with. Drinking oil just works better then eating food which has to be converted into oil.

Both of the ships are still using technology from the time they were made, so the shipgirls are fixing that, installing new and better technology to replace old obsolete parts. They even installed some of the still working or repairable generators from the boats they been stripping and installed solar panels to the ships to help supply the ship with power. Which the other shipgirls have also been doing with what they can find and repair.

The shipgirls have been trying out new technology to see what it would do in working their old equipments. Old satellite dishes are being tried to improve their air and fire control radars. And installed Wi-Fi routers so they have internet access, which all the ships have done, even Victory who had a gas powered generator installed so that she can have power to run a computer system and electric lights.

The shipgirls also turn out to have a crew that operate their equipment, who look like them but can't use the rigs and wear different uniforms to show what they do. Both Friedrich der Grobe and Warspite have their crew now full size and are the ones who are doing the installing of new equipments. Which also made it impossible for anyone to try sneaking onto the ship, for they can't blend in with the shipgirls crew. (4)

"Well I have less to worry about," Taylor said looking at the pile of letters on the table next to her bed.

It didn't take long for the British and German governments to contact her. Followed by the US government trying to make sure they won't be losing a parahuman like her to another country. They already railroaded the people who should had done something at her old school to be arrested for child endangerment, with the school being closed down for the amount of damage her shipgirls did. Trying to show that they can punish the ones who did nothing for 3 years, which Taylor responded that they should had done it when it would had matter. Which cause lots of trouble for the PRT with the public for allowing a Ward to trigger someone.

"The PRT is kissing up to me to get me to join the Wards to off set the bad press they're getting," Taylor said scanning one of the letters from said government department.

"Your aunt is inviting you to move to England and be a hero there," HMS Glasgow said who is in the room with her, being one of the few maids whose outfit doesn't make her blush. She's been taking care of her and acts as her personal bodyguard while she's in the hospital.

"And the German government is inviting you as well. You are more German then English," Peter Strasser said. Whose outfit also doesn't reveal too much, of her shapely and buxom body. She also acting as Taylor's bodyguard while she's in the hospital. Both of them have stayed behind picked by Taylor when she told them she doesn't want all of them here.

"I have no idea what to do," Taylor said. "Three governments want me, because I can summon warships as shipgirls giving me an army of parahumans."

"Being a government back hero would give you the resources and funding to keep us fully stock with what we need to keep running," Glasgow said.

"We can eat anything to use as fuel but we do need lots of it," Peter Strasser said who had showed off that ability by eating the chicken bones from Taylor's lunch, after she and Glasgow had eaten theirs, flesh and bones all.

"True," Taylor said glade that she had summon the Royal Navy fleet, so she wouldn't have to deal with people thinking she's with the Empire. Speaking of which. "Have any of the gangs been trying anything with any of you?"

"Some men wearing the flag that mad man made tried to talk to us. We grabbed them and took them to the nearest police station," Peter Strasser said. "I was lucky and was never apart of it, the others especially the ones who served the empire that your grandfather was apart of have nothing but disgust that people are still following those ramblings of that mad man."

"That, I agree with," Glasgow said.

"I want nothing to do with them," Taylor said.

"You want us to crush them?" Peter Strasser ask.

"No, I still have too much to think about to even think about starting a gang war," Taylor said. "I have this country kissing up to me so that, I stay and two other countries trying to get me to side with them. And to top it off, I'm part of several royal families, creating a political cluster fuck. Can you girls sense if I'm part of any other royal bloodline?"

"We only sense that you're part of the royal family when you used your power, calling us," Glasgow said.

"The same for us," Peter Strasser said.

"When I used my power, you all sense it?" Taylor asks.

"Yes when you were using your power me and the others could all feel it, but we didn't feel the Royal Navy being called till they showed up," Peter Strasser said.

"We had heard the call before but it was faint. But the second time it was stronger," Glasgow said.

"Maybe the more, I use it my power the stronger it becomes. I have no idea how to use my power and I don't want to use it as I don't want to summon more shipgirls while having no idea what to do with you all," Taylor said.

"Maybe that's why the American government is trying to keep you from leaving. You could easily summon the American shipgirls," Peter Strasser said.

"Victory would have USS Constitution to talk to and it's been a long time since she met her," Glasgow said.

"Well seeing how, the United States never had a royal family, I won't be able to summon any American shipgirls," Taylor said.

"There are the other royal families you could be related to," Peter Strasser said.

"Giving me more shipgirls if, I used my powers," Taylor said wondering what she should do. Should she stay or risk it all and go to Europe and be apart of the royal family there. She's still a teen and now she's a princess who has her own army at her command. This is just too much for her to deal with.

!

1 - The shipgirls can be killed, but once they're destroyed it be like rebuilding a ship from the wreckage. And like in the game the shipgirls can refit and upgrade themselves with better equipment and technology.

Remember the shipgirls aren't human, they more like robots. And unlike in fiction where if a robot is destroyed, you can't just rebuild them, because of insert reason. The shipgirls can always be rebuilt from what's left of their bodies. There is no memory core or anything, as long as there is something left they can be rebuilt from it, even if its just melting down the metal to make a new ship.

2 - The shipgirls are all from the Azur Lane universe that work on completely different rules and shard powers that control minds or technology doesn't work on them. Taylor's shard merely summon them, not power them.

3 - I'm using both the game and anime cannon. Cherry picking what I like and don't like from either.

4 - I'm not using the Manjuus because I just don't like them.

"The information on the new shipgirls," Dragon informed Piggot by radio.

"Good," Piggot said as she's been busy having the heads of the people responsible for this mess to happen, to be arrested and thrown under the bus.

The school staff have lost their jobs and teaching licenses and many are now in jail. The families of the girls who caused The Admiral to trigger tried to make a fuss but were told what would had happen if their girls weren't thrown into the Birdcage. Hearing the recording of Victory telling The Admiral what she would do to the girls and their families, shut them up and she told them to just drop it as stopping over a hundred parahumans or shipgirls from killing them if they tried to do anything like suing the Hebert family. The PRT wouldn't do much in stopping them, as a full scale battle would just result in the city being destroyed and them still ending up dead.

And to make sure they know what their daughters are really like, she had them watch a recording of them pleading not to be place into the prison to the shipgirls who went as escorts to make sure they are place into the prison. The shipgirls asked if they would rather have their families be place in the prison instead, the girls said yes. That shattered their parents who all left with haunted looks on their faces.

Speaking of the girls who caused this mess, form the report from the Birdcage. The girls have been repeatedly gang rape by the other prisoners and assaulted by them. The prison has no guards and the prisoners run it, with only the prison gangs and block leaders being the only form of order in the lawless prison. The girls are just objects to be used and traded by the prisoners, till they're killed or kill themselves. Piggot gave them about a year before they're dead.

Looking at the files of the first two shipgirls are Royal Navy ones from the Tribal-class Destroyers, joining their sister ship Eskimo. They are renowned as some of the greatest gun destroyers of WWII, as they have eight four-inch guns in four twin mounts. This gives them far more gun firepower than most other destroyers.

Cossack (F03) the shipgirl unlike the other Royal Navy shipgirls is dressed and looks like the people of Ukrainian steppe she's named after.

Zulu (F18) is a tall African woman dressed as a Zulu warrior. Even armed with the iconic spear and shield.

The next shipgirl is actually from the Canada navy. Saguenay (D79) she's a dusty skinned woman who is dressed as a native hunter trapper from Quebec, Canada.

Then came, Delhi (D47) of the Danae-class, Light Cruisers. She's an India woman who is also dressed in the native style of dress.

Salmon (N65) the only submarine of the Royal Navy so far. A young woman riding one of those bike sub things,

Rawalpindi a armed merchant cruiser, an India woman who also wears the native style of dress.

Queen Mary a armed merchant cruiser, a British woman dress in a blue dress uniform with a white coat. She also has taken over as the home for the Royal Navy fleet, as her ship is a passage ship that was used as troop transport.

Also of note is that like many of the other members of the Royal Navy, they're all rather buxom and clothes are either tight or show off their bodies.

Of the Iron Blood fleet there is only one new shipgirl. Atlantis a armed merchant cruiser, a blue eye blonde woman who unlike the others in her fleet is wearing a captain dress pants uniform that doesn't show off her body. She is also has a Scottish Terrier named Ferry who is her mascot. And she too has taken over being the home for the rest of the Iron Blood fleet. (1)

The shipgirls have all been showing up one by one over the pass month since the Admiral was place in the hospital. Which she has been discharged and was escorted by her two fleets of shipgirls to the docks where she's been living on the Queen Mary ship. Both fleets are extremely protective of her with both fleets having their members on patrol around the ship, both from the sky and below the water. The only one who can get on and off the Queen Mary whenever they want is the Admiral's father.

The maids of the Royal Fleet have all been taking care of their Admiral and from what information they could gather from Danny Hebert. Victory has been teaching the Admiral all about being a English princess, with the aid of the Iron Blood shipgirl Friedrich der Grobe who taught her of being a German princess. They also been allowing people from both England and Germany governments onboard Queen Mary to talk with the Admiral. The Admiral also have been visited by her relatives from both England and Germany royal families.

Thanks to both governments pulling some diplomatically strings both ships Queen Mary and Atlantis now both sail under the flags of their countries. Meaning that any actions by the PRT on either ships would be seen as an assault on either governments. But it also means that neither ship could do anything without it being seen as an attack on the USA, making it a deadlock for all parties. The PRT can't do anything without causing an international scene and neither can the two ships. Which help to ease tensions as having two armed warships in the harbor of the city was worrisome.

Piggot has no idea what to do, seeing how the government heads above her have been hounding her to get the Admiral to not leave the country. Her fleet couldn't be stop by the government as all said and done, they are all still warships from other countries and trying to sized them would be an act of war. And it's publicly known at this point, which also caused the gangs of the city to stay clear of them, as none want to deal with a group who are all heavily armed with weapons that are made to fight armor plated vessels.

Speaking of the gangs, the shipgirls of both fleets have also been patrolling the city both day and night, any gang member or any other criminals were grabbed, and toss into the nearest police station. The shipgirls have drove the crime rate where they patrol down to rock bottom. The Merchants have been hit the hardest by the shipgirls as they lost many of their dealers, with the shipgirls keeping the money the drug dealers had on them, as well as any other criminal they caught. They used the money they collected to buy things they needed, which is mostly food.

The food is a big question mark, when the shipgirls hit a safe house of one of the gangs. They not only strip the safe houses of all the money but also all the food kept there. From what the agents watching the shipgirls have discovered many of them having been drinking oil and gasoline, which makes sense as they're ships not humans. But for the food they been seen eating, it's still up in the air of what that does for them. With the best guess is that its used as fuel for their boilers.

There are still lots of unknowns about the shipgirls, seeing how they don't talk with the PRT agents sent to question them. Or allow any sort of testing of their powers. The only way to get them to test their powers would be having the Admiral give the order. But that's a whole other problem all together, she refuses to talk with any PRT agent. All her department could do is watch and gather what intelligence they could about them.

Elsewhere -

Coil have been busy since that woman had him use his power with hers to see what paths could be taken with the Admiral. Her powers didn't work, because none of the paths of victory where she attack the Admiral didn't end with her being killed. The Admiral has all the power he wants, an army of parahumans and ones who could be brought back to life when destroyed. But there is no timeline where any of his attempts to gain control works.

The shipgirls from the data collected in all of those other timelines, showed that they're not produced by the Admiral's power. No her power just summons them, using the ships if the ships are still around as a base to bring them to this world. They can eat anything and use it to replenish their ammo, fuel, and other supplies, or repair their bodies.

Coil shakes as he remembers the timelines where the Admiral was killed and what her fleet became. Pale bodies and white hair…. wielding weapons that are part sea life….. what they did to the capes who tried to fight them… Coil remembers hiding while the screams of Glory Girl stop with only the sounds of crunching and snapping bones and tearing flesh replace it.

"No, can't let them become Sirens," Coil said with a shudder.

Luckily there is a way to get rid of her, he just has to help her along in moving to either England or Germany. Wherever she went her fleet would follow her. If she stays here in the city, things would just end up much harder for him overall with his operations. He notice a news alert on his computer and turns on the tv in his office.

On the screen, is live news coverage of a firefight in the train yard part of the city. The shipgirls had stumbled on the safe house of Skidmark while he was in it and the Merchant leader are now in a firefight with the fleet. The two shipgirls who found the hideout are two destroyers from the Royal Navy, the sister ships HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta.

Both young looking shipgirls are tanking the gunfire from the Merchant gang members showing no signs of harm. Coil remembers how only heavy weapons or a tank had the firepower to harm the shipgirls. The two girls were moving around taking down the gang members by grabbing their guns out of their hands and knocking them out by hitting them. Skidmark with his ability to create a deflector effect, a type of force field that push things with about as much force as a gusty wind made stronger by layering the effect on top of each other. Was the only one that making any headway on the two shipgirls by pushing them back.

Bursting out of a building came one of Squealer's creations, a makeshift tank made out of what started off as a van before Squealer got a hold of it. The gun turret on the tank fired an energy blast as it burst out of the wall, striking the two shipgirls, sending them flying. Ardent was screaming as her legs are gone while Acasta is missing half of her torso and wasn't moving. Mush came out of hiding in his trash armor form wielding a dumpster, which he used to smash on top of the screaming Ardent repeatedly. The destroyer even in her damage state couldn't just be smash underneath a metal dumpster, and was screaming as Mush continued to try to smash her flat with the dumpster that's getting more damaged then the shipgirl.

The Konigsberg-class light cruisers sisters, Konigsberg, Karlsruhe, and Koln of the Iron Blood fleet came to the rescue firing their guns at the trash golem. The shells weighing several hundred pounds tore through the Mush's trash body which stuck the hideout behind him, causing the building to blow up. The tank fired it's energy weapon at the 3 sisters but unlike what happen to the smaller and less armored destroyers, the blast struck the sisters who just powered through it and return fire with a volley that blew up the makeshift tank, killing Squealer who was inside the burning wreckage.

The 3 sisters began firing their lighter guns, which are their anti-aircraft guns their single-mounted 8.8 cm guns to make short work of the remaining gang members who tried shooting at the sisters. When the firing stops among the dead is Skidmark, who tried to deflect the shells but was just overwhelmed by the sheer firepower.

The sisters rush to the two Royal Navy shipgirls and attended to them. More shipgirls came rushing to the scene, along with the heroes and the polices. The two fallen shipgirls were flown away by the flying members of their fleet heading back to their base.

Coil knew that the two fallen shipgirls would be repaired and be back patrolling. It happen enough times before, even when there was nothing left of their bodies. The shipgirl would always be back, somehow. He hadn't discovered how they returned in those timelines as he was too busy trying to survive. But at least the proof that the shipgirls weren't invincible is out, with a weapon that is powerful enough like the energy cannon Squealer somehow created that can damage a armored warship.

The destroyers like the full-size ones, are still warships but they lack the armor of the bigger ships, instead relying on speed and maneuverable. They're the fastest of the shipgirls, not counting the the flying ones, and are glass cannons compared to the larger shipgirls. But as Mush showed when he tried smashing Ardent with that dumpster, trying to damage one with blunt force would only work if the power behind it could damage a warship class destroyer.

The larger and more powerful warships are able to take punishments that would take out a destroyer class. The light cruisers sisters Konigsberg, Karlsruhe, and Koln, stronger and more armored bodies did take damage from the energy cannon, but unlike the lighter bodies of the destroyers could take it. The toughness level of the shipgirls only goes higher from there, only a few capes have the power to even damage the battleships and carriers. The warships were built to withstand being hit by the weapons that they're armed with, which would sink most modern warships. As getting close enough for the range of cannon fire, isn't a strategy that modern navies use anymore, so modern warships don't have to be as armored as the older ships.

"She needs to leave the city before things get out of hand," Coil said to himself having seen what happens in those timelines where that woman used the gangs to take care of the Admiral. The shipgirls still knew it was her and....

Coil closed his eyes remembering and wanting to make sure that nightmare would never happen. The shipgirls could never become Sirens, they have to deal with the endbringers already. He just have to help the Admiral along in either moving to England or Germany. Anything that happens to her from there wouldn't be by his hands and the shipgirls wouldn't be chasing after him this time around, if it does.

Both HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta had summon their boat bodies which both of which are being repaired in the long abandon dry dock of the ferry. The fairies as they're called that run the rigging are now all full size and are busy repairing the ships. The two young looking ship girls are in the medical bay of Queen Mary being cared for by the maids of the Royal Navy.

The rest of the fleet are tearing apart the train yard area and other Merchant strongholds. What's left of the gang are fleeing as they couldn't withstand the onslaught of the fury of the shipgirls. The other gangs are laying low so they won't be caught up in the purge happening.

"At least we know what can damage the shipgirls now," Piggot said talking with Dragon and the other heroes on the com channel.

"Anything that can damage a full size warship will damage them," Dragon said as she brings up a screen showing the two destroyers. "Both destroyers were heavily damaged by Squealer's energy weapon, but when used on the light cruisers, Konigsberg, Karlsruhe, and Koln didn't have the same damage thanks to them being more armored then the destroyers."

"So the only thing that can damage the shipgirls is something that would damage a full size battleship of their type?" Miss Militia asked.

"Of their era they were built. The some of the warships of that era are made to be able to withstand damage that would sink modern warships," Velocity explains.

"Well that's just great," Assault said.

"What should we do with the Royal Navy tearing apart the train yard?" Velocity asked.

"There's nothing we can do to stop them, there's just too many of them," Battery points out.

"Victory is leading them and the Royal Navy follows her lead. There is no chance of getting her to back down, not after what happen to her girls," Armsmaster said.

"The sailwoman treats all the young shipgirls as her kids There are pictures of her grabbing a younger shipgirl by her ear and pulling her along," Assault adds.

"The Admiral is using her powers again," Dragon spoke up as her devices she had setup for this very thing, started beeping.

"She's probably trying to summon a repair ship," Velocity said.

"Last time she summon the Royal Navy," Piggot said.

"Yeah but she's only of royal blood of two nations," Armsmaster said.

"The storms are appearing all over the US," Dragon said.

"But we never had a king or emperor," Battery said.

"Actually there is one," Miss Militia spoke up.

At the docks -

Taylor stared at the two shipgirls she had summon, both of which are flying the Union Jack and are adults. The first is dress as a mechanic but with the right flap of her brown overalls unstrap and showing her ample right breast covered by a white shirt. She has short blonde hair and wearing a welder's mask on top of her head. She's armed with anti air guns but has a small crane on her back, and has a large tool belt on her, with a welding torch and a large gas tank on the rig on her back.

The second woman is dress in a light brown jumpsuit with the zipper zipped down showing off her large breasts that's covered in a white tank top. She has anti air guns too and a crane and a tool belt like the first woman. But she also is carrying a large luggage chest on her back.

"Ok who did I summon?" Taylor ask Charybdis who next to her on the docks.

They're also with Charybdis's sisters, Sirius, Hermione, and Dido who are all busty maids who wear sexy outfits. Their other two sisters Black Prince and Bellona are rampaging around the city hunting down what's left of the Merchant gang. They're also with Roon who can create a force field around herself, which is why she's always behind Taylor so if there is any danger she can hug her princess up against her big chest and shield her with her forcefield. Taylor found it very intimidating to be around so many women who are both beautiful and have busty bodies. Not to mention how they like showing their bodies off with skimpy outfits.

"They're HMS San Giorgio Italian and Vindictive both are repair ships, but Vindictive is also a depot ship for destroys to resupply their stocks," Charybdis answers.

"Just what I was trying to summon," Taylor said.

"You called princes?" San Giorgio Italian asked.

"Both Ardent and Acasta have been damage and I need you two to repair them," Taylor said.

"Where are they?" Vindictive asked.

"In that dry dock," Taylor said pointing to the dry dock where Ardent and Acasta's ships are housed in being repaired.

"At once princess," San Giorgio Italian said.

"Princess!" Z24 shouted as she flew over to the group. Z24 has a whole vampire look to her with long ears and bat wings on her back that allows her to fly around fast when she does that hovering thing all the shipgirls can do. She couldn't fly like the carriers but with her wings she's the fastest of the destroyers.

"Did someone gave the kids candy? Again?" Taylor said thinking of Little Bel, Little Cheshire, Little Illustrious, Little Renown, Little Prinz Eugen, Zeppy, and Little Spee being given a bag of candy by one of the dock workers from her dads workplace. The sugar high tykes ran around the docks causing all sorts of trouble till they finally crashed.

"You summon another fleet," Z24 said pointing to the bay where a fleet of 128 shipgirls are coming towards them.

"What? How?" Taylor asked wondering what Royal family she's related to this time. "Which fleet?"

"Americans," Victory said who came back to the docks when she felt her princess using her power to summon shipgirls again.

"But I'm sure we never had a Royal family," Taylor said.

"You can ask her," Victory said seeing a carrier flying over to them while carrying another shipgirl.

The carrier that flew in is USS Bataan and the shipgirl she carried over is very different from the others.

A tall woman with a slim but powerful built body of a woman in her 40's or 50's. She has short red hair with strains of grey showing underneath her captain's hat. Her uniform is that of a Legion of the United States before it was renamed into the United States Army in 1796. Like Victory on her back is a mast with the sails up and her rig is wooden with black powder cannons.

"USS Constitution of the Eagle Union fleet reporting for duty empress," the second oldest commissioned warship greeted Taylor.

"Empress but the US never had a Royal family," Taylor said as the other Eagle Union shipgirls climb onto the dock and gathered behind Constitution.

"Yes youngest, I don't recall any…," Victory was saying when an old memory came to her. "Wait you don't mean that failed business man who proclaimed himself Emperor?" (1)

"Yes our empress is from Joshua Abraham Norton bloodline. Making her our empress," Constitution answers causing everyone to stare at her for that troll logic.

!

The PRT -

"What?" Piggot asked as she and everyone else at the HQ are listening in.

!

The Docks -

"That doesn't count being a ruler," Victory said.

"Emperor Norton was the only Emperor of the United States, he may seem to be nothing more then a madman who got people to play along with him. But he's a true emperor who without any army or wealth manage to become the emperor of the United States. Which shows as he had to do everything himself. No one ever in his 21-year reign tried to impeach him from his title and when he died over 10,000 people had come to view the Emperor's body in advance of the 2 p.m. funeral. So he's the emperor of the United State because of the fact no one ever said otherwise or tried to impeach him or take his title from him. And on his tombstone he's proclaimed as the Emperor of the United States and is recognized as the only emperor this nation ever had," Constitution said. (2)

"That counts?" Taylor asked.

"Yes that does count," Constitution said.

"And I'm now have you all as my 3rd fleet?" Taylor asked.

"Yes," Constitution said.

"I already have to deal with two countries trying to get me to come to them and now I'm going to have to deal with this," Taylor said putting her hand on her head thinking of what this is going to cause when the US navy learns of this.

"Don't worry we're more independent, we will listen to you but we can listen to others if you give us the orders to," Constitution said.

"Really?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah you're in good hands with those girls from the other fleets. Besides, there's a city full of villains and nazis that need to be stamp out," Constitution said and walks off toward the city with most of her girls following her lead.

"Well that girl is the same as always," Victory said watching the Eagle girls heading into the city.

"I wouldn't be able to order them to stop could I?" Taylor asked.

"Nope, that young girl is too pigheaded to stop when there's something to be done. Too much pride in that one," Victory said.

"Really?" Taylor asked.

"Yes, two of her sister ships President and Chesapeake were captured and served in the Royal Navy, told me all about their sister. I take great pride in the fact I'm the oldest commission warship around. But that girl has the honor of being the last of the original six frigates of the United States Navy still in commission. She's the last of the original warships that was built when the United States became a country. I'm far from being the first warship or even among the first group to serve when the nation of England was formed. Like me her weapons and equipment are outdated, but that won't stop her. She will do the right thing no matter what, that's who she is," Victory said.

"Getting rid of the empire while the iron is hot," Taylor said seeing how there is no stopping it now.

"Might as well get rid of the other gang as well," Victory said turning to talk to Dildo and Roon to give out the order to the rest of the fleet to target all the gangs.

"At least I don't have to worry about the villains after this," Taylor said as few villains will be willing to take on a force of nearly 300 parahumans. She will have to count how many shipgirls she has now.

Author's Notes -

1 - Joshua Abraham Norton (February 4, 1818 – January 8, 1880), known as Emperor Norton, was a resident of San Francisco, California who, in 1859, proclaimed himself "Norton I., Emperor of the United States". In 1863, after Napoleon III invaded Mexico, he took the secondary title of "Protector of Mexico".

2 - In The Princess and The Frog, the plan to become human again by having Naveen kiss Charlotte during Mardi Gras. Though she isn't royal by birth or marriage, being the daughter of the king of the Mardi Gras parade is apparently enough to make her count as a princess.

Which is the logic I'm using for why Taylor being a descendant of Norton can summon Eagle Union shipgirls. For history remembers Norton as the only emperor of the United States and that's good enough for me.

Piggot felt another migraine happening as she now has to deal with a 3rd fleet of shipgirls who many wear very provocative outfits. All because of the fact that Joshua Abraham Norton is known in history as the first emperor of the United States, which is engraved on his tombstone. Which is good enough for the Eagle Union fleet who are made up of American shipgirls, who are all loyal to their empress and are currently tearing the city apart looking for empire gang members. The Royal Navy is still busy dealing with what's left of the Merchant.

The reports are coming in what has happen in the last hour.

Othala and her husband Victor were killed in a firefight with The Mahan-class sisters Cassin and Downes. Who were backing up the St. Louis-class sisters St. Louis and Helena when they attack a safehouse with several gang members in it.

Hookwolf was killed when The Essex-class sister ships, Essex, Intrepid, Ticonderoga, Bunker Hill, and Shangri-La teamed up on him in his metal wolf form. The 5 sisters all grabbed a one of his limbs and his head, where they all pulled. They ended up tearing him apart. Cricket who was with Hookwolf tried to attack the sisters. For her trouble Bunker Hill grab her and snap her neck before tossing her into a cage with a bunch of the fighting dogs who tore her body apart.

Rune gave up after she found herself the only survivor of a firefight while she was with Stormtiger. He had tried to blow away the South Dakota-class sister but they proved too heavy for him to just blow away and before he tried harder he was grabbed by them. South Dakota and Massachusetts grab his arms and legs and pulled him between them. Their sister Alabama with her giant scythe, slice him in half.

The Cleveland-class sisters, Cleveland, Columbia, Montpelier, Denver, Birmingham, and Biloxi. With The New Orleans-class sisters, New Orleans, Astoria, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Quincy, and Vincennes captured both Menja & Fenja. Even growing to their maximum height of 3 stories tall wasn't enough when San Francisco using her bat struck Menja's left hamstring sending her falling to the ground where she was dog piled by the sisters. Whose weight is still the same as when they were ships, at least when they have their rigs on, and Menja couldn't pull herself up with them on her. Fenja tried to help her sister only to be trip by Denver and Biloxi, allowing the rest of their sisters to dog pile on her as well.

Crusader was electrocuted by the Cannon-class shipgirl Eldridge when she used her tentacles to grab him. He was fighting off the massive number of Fletcher-class sisters who from the records have 180 of them at the time. Currently there are only 19 of the sisters in the fleet.

Purity surrendered herself to Bogue and her sister Chaser from the Royal Navy whom she teamed up with. Purity was chased by their planes before being shot with the bottom of her right leg being shot off. She fell and gave up when the sisters caught up with her to avoid bleeding to death.

Alabaster couldn't die and kept on regenerating, no matter how many times the Portland-class ship sisters, Portland and Indianapolis blasted him. So Indianapolis used her giant mechanical arms of her rig to tear him apart and stuff his body parts into a wood chipper. The PRT troops are still collecting what's left of him, to see if he can regenerate from what's little is left of him.

Krieg is dead after being blasted by the Oakland-class Reno shipgirl. Who also turned out to be a huge fan of superhero comics and builds her own trinker gadgets. She used gauntlets that fired beams of energy to kill Krieg.

Kaiser had been challenged to a sword duel by Constitution while the Yorktown-class sisters, Yorktown, Enterprise, Hornet, and their half sister the Wasp-class carrier Wasp, floated in the air around the two making sure he couldn't escape. Constitution showed what happens when you fight someone with years of battle experience under their belt. She beat him in the duel and beheaded him, then she revealed who he is underneath his mask.

"There's going to be lots of fallout with this," Piggot said seeing how the legal matter on how to classified the shipgirls is still up in the air.

"I still can't believe it counts to be known as the emperor of the United States to be recognized as one," Armsmaster said who is updating Piggot on what's happening on the ground.

"Doesn't matter, it counts as far as the Eagle Union fleet are concern. She's their empress and follow her orders," Piggot said.

"What about the current head of the navy?" Armsmaster asked.

"Same problem as dealing with the Royal Navy, Constitution is the oldest warship of the US fleet and the younger shipgirls all follow her lead. They all look to her as their grandmother," Piggot said.

"We're doing our best down here to keep the damage down but there are just too many of them," Armsmaster said.

"The Ironblood fleet are mostly keeping guard at the docks with only a few of them joining the purge, while the other two fleets are tearing the city apart. The ABB gang are the only ones left at this point and they're keeping low," Dragon said on the com channel.

"The last thing we need is Lung fighting the shipgirls. They just might have the firepower to take him down but the damage to the city will be high," Miss Militia said on the com channel.

"If he's smart he stays out of sight till this is all over," Velocity joins in on the com channel.

"Or they're saving him for last, he is the most powerful villain in the city," Battery said on the channel.

"He would have to go all out to where he could fight an endbringer to have a chance. We got containment foam ready to use on the shipgirls," Assault adds.

"Negative on that. I'm dealing with the US navy department and don't need things to be a bigger mess then it is now. They're sending some people to try to talk the Eagle Union fleet down," Piggot said.

"So we just let them do what they want?" Armsmaster asked.

"Our hands are tied and they simply have us outnumbered. The combine fleet is around 300 and the Admiral can hardly control them. What we need to do is to keep her from using her power again. I don't want to find out what else counts to be of royalty with the shipgirls. I don't want to suddenly have the Japanese navy showing up," Piggot said.

"I already did blood tests on the Admiral to see if she's related to any other Royal family. And she isn't related to the Emperor of Japan," Dragon said. (1)

"Good," Piggot said.

"She is related to the House of Savoy with the clearest line being that of the Kingdom of Italy branch, the house is a very wide spread with other branches in other countries of Europe. Any other royal families would be much older and not on the database of registered bloodlines. But I did map out that her family line is very spread out through Europe," Dragon informed causing everything to go silent. (2)

"I better give the ambassador of Italy a heads up as well as… just about every other European country. I better just contact the EU and get it over with," Piggot said knowing what a mess of red tape this news is going to cause.

Author's Notes -

1 - There be no Sakura Empire shipgirls.

2 - The House of Savoy (Italian: Casa Savoia) was a royal dynasty that was established in 1003 in the historical Savoy region. Through gradual expansion, the family grew in power from ruling a small Alpine county north-west of Italy to absolute rule of the Kingdom of Sicily from 1713 to 1720, when they were handed the island of Sardinia, over which they would exercise direct rule from then onward.

Through its junior branch of Savoy-Carignano, the House of Savoy led the Italian unification in 1860 and ruled the Kingdom of Italy until 1946; they also briefly ruled the Kingdom of Spain in the 19th century. The Savoyard kings of Italy were Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I, Victor Emmanuel III, and Umberto II. The last monarch reigned for a few weeks before being deposed following the institutional referendum of 1946, after which the Italian Republic was proclaimed.

Taylor step out onto the docks where her massive fleet of shipgirls call it their home port. She's now dressed in a costume, a full dress uniform of the style that her grandfather Emperor Norton wore, complete with the stovepipe hat with red feathers on it. It also has military regalia of the style of the German Empire and she carried a ceremonial mace in the style of England. With how much her blood is mixed up with royal blood, she decided to take after her grandfather Norton, who she read up on with how he managed to get everyone to just go with him being the emperor. Taking him as her role model, as with how crazy her life is now, might as well follow his lead.

On the docks are ambassadors from the EU and from the US government have come and see her use her power to summon more shipgirls. The PRT sent Dragon to watch and record the event. Which Taylor isn't going to stop till she summons as many fleets as she could from different countries. Taylor was tried of having one surprise after another showing up, and just want to get it all out of the way at once.

"Admiral are you ready?" Victory ask who is standing with Constitution.

"Yes and, I'm not using that place holder name the PRT gave me anymore," Taylor said. "I'm Sovereign now."

Walking to the end of the dock, Sovereign began channeling her power like she did before. Dragon sensors detected storms appearing all over the globe. The first fleet that appear came flying the Italian royal flag when it was still a kingdom. The next fleet carried the French flag, which the third fleet also carried. And the final fleet carried the white-blue-red flag of the Russian Empire.

The Russian shipgirls were literally freezing the ocean as they sailed to the dock. The three other fleets got out of the way of the Russian ships, mostly thanks to the ice. They climb onto the dock and Taylor got a good look at them. The older shipgirls like all the others are wearing form fitting or revealing outfits, it helped that all of the, are wearing a white fur coat, or a cloak of some kind to cover themselves, but all of them are wide open showing off their shapely bodies. Which nine of the ships are giving off the baroness stereotype, they're are quite well endowed, and thus have outfits that either hug their chests tight to show them off, or outright expose their ample cleavage. Their rigs are like the Iron Blood fleets, having heads of beasts but are covered in ice, all expect for a few of the shipgirls who have normal looking rigs.

The lead shipwoman as she looks to be in her 30's and is fully matured looking than the older shipgirls. She also wearing clothes that isn't revealing like many other shipgirls, with a long skirt. Like many of the other Russian shipgirls has long white hair that she has it braided.

"Sovereign meet the 3rd oldest commissioned warship and the only one who is still active. She's a submarine salvage ship," Constitution said.

"Kommuna or should I call you Volkhov?" Victory asked the third oldest shipwoman who is over a 100 years old.

"It's for the empress to decide," Kommuna said as she bent the knee to Taylor followed by the other Russian shipgirls.

"I'm related to the Russian royal family?" Taylor asked.

"Yes by the royal family of England making you a cousin. You called and we came to answer your call, the Northern Parliament is now under your command," Kommuna said.

"And it's good enough for us. Our nation got rid of the royal family, and I look back fondly at the time when they ruled, compared to what came afterwards. When you called we decided to come and serve you instead," a shipgirl who stands behind Kommuna spoke up.

"Avrora, you're looking younger," Victory said.

"The only reason why she looks younger, is because unlike myself who is still in service she's a museum ship," Kommuna said.

"I was built in 1897 while Kommuna was built in 1912, and you can see the museum has taken good care of me, like how both Victory and Constitution are a whole lot better looking than they would be otherwise," Avrora said.

"Thank you for your service," Taylor said. "Now please rise and move aside so I can greet the other fleets."

The Northern Parliament fleet desummon their rigs and moved aside so that the fleet flying the Italian royal flag to greet their admiral.

"Lutzow!" Little Prinz Eugen cried out as she rushes out and latches onto one of the Northern Parliament shipgirls. She's followed by her 3 older sisters, Prinz Eugen, Blucher, and Admiral Hipper.

Taylor stared at the group and saw how all of them looked alike.

"Are you all sisters?" Taylor asked, as the shipgirls who are sister ships tend to look alike.

"We are, I'm Tallinn formerly Lutzow, before I was sold to Russia," the North shipgirl said introducing herself and looks down at Little Prinz Eugen who is latch to her leg then to Prinz Eugen. "Why is there another Eugen who is a child clinging to my leg?"

"I'm still trying to figure out why there are a bunch of child version of shipgirls," Taylor said.

"Well at least Admiral Hipper isn't the flatest sister anymore," Tallinn smirks.

"CUT THAT OUT!" Admiral Hipper glared at her sister. Who just laughs with her other sisters at her, causing her to steam.

"And she's not the only one," Revenge said standing next to a North shipgirl who looks like her. "This is Arkhangelsk who was originally HMS Royal Sovereign my sister ship."

"Same here with Murmansk or as she use to be named Milwaukee," Omaha said as she and the rest of her sisters, Raleigh, Richmond, Concord, Marblehead, and Memphis are all gathered around said shipgirl.

The Italian shipgirls came forward unlike the winter theme Northern Parliament shipgirls are more "high-life" oriented, aristocratic, and are themed around the Mediterranean summer and the older shipgirls like many others prefer attire that are a common source of fanservice. And virtually all of them wear a cool-looking cape of some sort as part of their uniform.

"I am Vittorio Veneto the flagship of the Sardegna Empire," said shipgirl said bending the knee with the others of her fleet.

"And I have blood ties with the Italian royal family?" Taylor asked.

"Yes from the House of Savoy," Vittorio Veneto said.

"The House of Savoy is one of the oldest houses that has many ties to other houses and branches," Victory said.

"That explains so much," Taylor said.

The last two fleets came together, both flying the French flag. Both fleets look more like a church militant or Templar Knights with all the swords and shields they carry and crosses. The first fleet have lighter colors and the second has darker colors.

"I am, Richelieu the flagship of the Iris Libre fleet," the shipgirl who's look is heavily themed around religion said bending her knee to Taylor.

"I am, Jean Bart the flagship of the Vichya Dominion fleet," the shipgirl who is dress light a pirate said.

"The Iris Libre are the free French ships who escape when France surrendered to Germany. The Vichya Dominion are the one who fought with the Germans," Victory explains. "They also fight all the time."

"I can't help it, she betrayed the Scriptures," Richelieu said.

"Go fuck off, you need it," Jean Bart retort causing her sister to glare at her.

"I can see where this is going," Taylor said as she used her power again.

"What are you doing?" Constitution asked.

"Trying to summon the oldest French navy ship still in service to be the flagship for them," Taylor said.

"That would be," Victory was saying but stop as Taylor had summoned four more shipgirls, or women as the four older ships came sailing into the docks using sails. That only Victory and Constitution used in her current fleet.

The two came climbing onto the docks, the first is a woman in her 30's who is dressed in green overalls, gloves and rubbers boots and a cap that reminds Taylor of how people who work on the fishing boats dress. Her rigs is fishing lines and nets.

The second woman is dressed in modern Italian navy dress but has the same kind of rigging that Constitution and Victory have.

The third is wearing a modern German navy uniform and flying the German flag, and the last is wearing a US coast guard uniform and flying the US flag.

"Mutin?" Richelieu and Jean Bart asked staring at the fisherwoman who is flying the French flag. (2)

"Mutin is the oldest ship in the French navy who is a fishing boat and is a training ship. The other one is, Amerigo Vespucci who was built in the style of the late 18th century ships of the line, and serves as a school ship. The two others are Gorch Fock and Horst Wessel or Eagle as she is known now after she was taken by the US," Victory said. (3)

"Eagle has been serving as a coast guard ship and Gorch Fock is a museum ship, with her daughter taking her name and used as a training ship," Constitution adds.

"And they're the oldest serving ships in those navies? No old warships like you two?" Taylor ask Constitution and Victory.

"We're the only sailwomen who were warships from the last century and Amerigo Vespucci was built in the early 1900s," Victory said.

"Ok, work with what you have. Mutin, I called you because as the longest serving French ship, you outrank both Richelieu and Jean Bart. I'm combining both French fleets into one, Iris Dominion," Taylor explains to Mutin and turns to the two sisters. "Richelieu and Jean Bart both of you are demoted and be taking orders from Mutin."

"What!" Richelieu and Jean Bart gasped.

"You heard the princess, I'm the senior officer here and I'm in charge of the fleet," Mutin said.

"I don't need you two fighting all the time, over whose in charge of the combine fleet," Taylor said.

"I could be the new flagship," Gascogne the other Richelieu class ship spoke up.

"NO!" both her sisters Richelieu and Jean Bart said.

Taylor walk to the other ships while the 3 sisters bicker with each other.

"Amerigo Vespucci, I need you to help the Sardegna Empire to catch up with the modern world. And as the senior ship to keep the younger shipgirls in line," Taylor said as many of her shipgirls were either wrecks, or were scrapped and were way out of date on what's happening with the world since their time.

"Yes princess," Amerigo Vespucci said.

"Gorch Fock and Eagle, I need you two to act like Victory and Constitution and keep the younger shipgirls of the Iron Fleet in line. And Eagle since you're also a Eagle Union ship, you can also help Constitution in handling the girls in the fleet as well," Taylor said before thinking of something. "Also none of the child ships are allowed to have candy."

"Booo!" the child ships all booed.

"Princess what about my fleet?" Kommuna asked who is the flagship of her fleet thanks to being the oldest.

"They have you," Taylor pointed out and turns to Mutin. "How was I able to call you?"

"You are of the royal blood of House of Bonaparte," Mutin said.

"Another grandfather who had some fun and got a kid out of it," Taylor sighed as she figures that what happen.

"Most likely," Mutin agreed.

"At least, I'm not related to any more royal families," Taylor said looking at all the shipgirls and wondering how many she has now.

!

PRT HQ -

On the screen came the numbers of the shipgirls in each fleet.

Iron Blood - 68

Royal Navy - 113

Eagle Union - 128

Sardegna Empire - 26

Iris Libre - 14

Vichya Dominion - 13

Northern Parliament - 23

Total Fleet - 385

"Sovereign now has the most powerful faction in the country now, by sheer firepower of her fleet and numbers," Piggot said to the heroes of the city who have been gathered in the room with her.

"Her fleet did get rid of all but Lung's gang and he's been in hiding since than," Lady Photon said.

With all but the ABB gang stamp out, the city has been quite, with members of said gang keeping low and out of sight. The only Leet and Uber are still active, with them cooking up something from their posting online. The city is now quite with no major crimes happening since the shipgirls took care of the gangs.

"Which depending on which country will win her favor in her siding with, will have the fleet to call upon. And there's nothing we can do but to watch and get data. The government doesn't want any PRT related thing to happen with Sovereign, with how badly things are because of the self interest of the agents in charge of Shadow Stalker became. The government isn't trusting us to handle Sovereign, not with so much at stake," Piggot said.

"Then why are we having this meeting?" Velocity asked.

"Because as long as the fleet is here, we might as well take advantage of them. The only remaining gang is ABB who are in hiding now. Which means it's time to hit them while they're weak. Lung won't risk an open fight, not with the shipgirls being here. So we be able to hit his operations without having to worry about him showing up," Piggot explains. The PRT needed this, after what happen they needed something to show people that the PRT does do good work.

1 - Kommuna is a submarine salvage ship in service with the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet and the world's oldest active duty naval vessel. A double-hulled catamaran, she was laid down at the Putilov Factory (now the Kirov Factory) in St. Petersburg in November 1912 as Volkhov. The ship was launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 July 1915. She was renamed Kommuna on 31 December 1922. Kommuna has served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federation navies through the Russian Revolution and two World Wars.

2 - Mutin is the oldest vessel in the French Navy. She was built in 1926 in the shipyards of Florimond-Guigardeau in the region of Sables d'Olonne of France and launched on 19 March 1927. Like any tuna fishing vessels built in Sables d'Olonne MUTIN is traditionally rigged, however she never served as a tuna fishing vessel.

From 1927 she was used for pilotage training to the naval school of Saint-Servan near Saint-Malo in France. However, this was ended during the Second World War as she carried out intelligence missions bearing the British flag in the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters.

MUTIN regained her original flag on 20 July 1946 and went back to be used for pilotage training at the naval school of Saint-Servan . In 1964 her training purpose was expanded to the boatswain school for the French Navy based in Brest.

Ever since 1968 MUTIN has continued to be used as a naval training ship for the French Navy. Like the other sailing ships in the French Navy MUTIN is a valuable ambassador for the French Navy around the coastal areas of France and Europe.

The dock section of Brockton Bay where Sovereign has made it her home port where the two armed merchant cruisers Atlantis and Queen Mary are used as homes for the now hundreds of shipgirls, has been fenced off and armed guards are now station at the checkpoints. With so many shipgirls from different countries now u dear her leadership, Sovereign decided to go and join the UN Peacekeepers so that she can freely operate in the countries around the Atlantic Ocean. And be able to draw much needed funding and resources that her massive fleet needs. Which has grown since she last used her summon power to bring 4 new fleets to her.

Giuseppe Garibaldi who unlike her sisters is dark skin.

The heavy cruisers, San Giorigo who is not so much a modern heavy cruiser as an older armored cruiser. Accordingly, she has armor that rivals some battleships and very large guns, but she's much slower than modern heavy cruisers and her older guns lack the elevation of newer guns. And unlike other rigs hers is like the submarines bike rigs which she rides around on and uses a lance.

Bolzano has all the firepower of a Zara-class cruiser like Zara and Pola, but none of the armor.

The submarine, Axum who is African in appearance, she is quite proud of both the country who built her and of the territory for which she's named and draws much of her cultural inspiration from.

The destroyers, Voykov an older destroyer with a relatively small displacement, she's even among the more fragile destroyers, though also as a consequence of that age, she's not particularly fast as destroyers go. she also wields a cannon as a weapon of choice.

Leningrad is a quite large and effective destroyer, and she also reads enough that new books for her are considered a major expense for the ship.

Her sister Moskva is very forward and blunt with her addressing Sovereign when she first met her and were as follows "You. You are now in command. Go earn your crew's trust, or die trying."

Gnevny is not good at accepting responsibility. She's armed with two small flails with small sea mines at the end that blow up when she wants.

Her sister Gromkiy has an extremely aggressive tactic where she (and the rest of the fleet) closes with the enemy at flank speed right up to brawl range, at which point all ships with torpedoes let them loose. Given the short range of most guns on destroyers, it's not an unreasonable strategy.

The last sisters Boiky is armed with a slingshot that she uses to launch sea mines with.

The light cruisers, Profintern wears some manner of powered exoskeleton, presumably to use her massive hammer, providing the "powered" part, but it doesn't offer any protection beyond two rather token plates on her hip, thus lacking the "armor" part.

Chervona Ukraina is a strong believer in family bonds, whether it's the family you're born with or the family you choose.

Shch-205 "Nerpa" she maybe a rather light-hearted and impolitic but she's good at what she does.

S-3 has bubblegum pink hair, and certainly is sweet and innocent, with a sweet tooth to match. (1)

Total Fleet - 428

Making Sovereign one of the most powerful parahumans on the planet by the numbers she has under her command and the sheer firepower her fleet has. The only S-Class threats besides the Endbringers who have a chance at attacking the Fleet is Nilbog who has the numbers to simply Zerg rush them and Sleeper. Which is why the nations that the shipgirls came from all want Sovereign on their side and the villains are avoiding catching her attention.

Which is why the heroes of Brockton Bay are hitting hard against the city's remaining gang, the ABB. Gang members being arrested and their businesses and operations being busted. Lung is a no show as he's laying low with him telling all of his gang members to also lay low as well. He knows that if he shows himself, the Fleet would go after him as well and with them being in the hundreds now he doesn't want to take any chances against those odds.

That's when Leviathan made his way to the city.

!

Outside of the city -

In the command center that was setup after the Endbringer alarm was sounded. Sovereign is with the child shipgirls and the shipgirls who wouldn't have much of a chance fighting Leviathan. Using a real time computer display and com links to all of the shipgirls, Victory, Constitution, Kommuna, Mutin, Amerigo Vespucci, Gorch Fock and Eagle to handle tactics and give the shipgirls their orders.

The battle started as the submarines fired their payloads at Leviathan underwater, striking his body. The destroyers followed by launching all of their depth charges and launching the anti-sub bombers. The bombs are actually doing damage to Leviathan making it rise out of the water where the rest of the fleet open fire on it. The warships fired all guns at the giant monster, while above the carriers are launching their planes. With the older shipwomen using their tactical battle experience to tell the younger shipgirls what to do.

The fleet displayed abilities that they didn't showed before. Firing beams of energy, balls of energy and firing glowing shells at Leviathan which are blowing chunks of its body off. Other shipgirls are buffing up the other shipgirls with their powers, making their weapons more powerful, take less damage, make them move faster, or heal the damage they're taking. For as the fleet is giving their all, Leviathan is attacking them, using its tail to strike the shipgirls around it and at the flying ones. (2)

The Northern shipgirls used their cold abilities to freeze the water around Leviathan to stop him from using the water easily and slow him down. The next wave of planes Fairey Swordfish drop their torpedoes on Leviathan causing it to move slowly. Which allowed the battleships to hit the endbringer with their combine firepower and special attacks.

The shipwomen handling the tactics and orders noticed that Leviathan is protecting its chest from the attacks being launched at it. They quickly ordered for the shipgirls on the ground to concentrate all fire on its chest. Joined by the heroes and villains who have gathered to fight the endbringer.

The more attacks hit Leviathan, more of its energy is being used to regenerate its layers that have been blasted off by the shipgirls whose weapons and special attacks are doing damage to its armored shell it uses to protect its core. For the weapons of the shipgirls are just like the Driver Weapons of the villainess String Theory, who the endbringers avoid fighting fighting. (3)

A powerful blast of energy from Warspite cannons managed to rip a hole in Leviathan's chest. Which it responded by whipping its tail on the shipgirl killing her. Seeing Warspite dying in front of her Queen Elizabeth flew into a range ordering all cannons to fire into the hole in Leviathan's chest. Causing the endbringer to stumble backwards as the firepower hitting the hole in its chest caused it to become deeper as its layers are blasted away.

Leviathan turn to flee, but was stop as the Northern Parliament and Iron Blood unleashed their mechanical beast rigs to ram into Leviathan's legs while firing all of their weapons. The tactic worked as the mechanical beast rigs slammed into the legs of the endbringer, with their weapons weakening the legs before hand as chunks of it were blasted off.

Leviathan fell onto it's side, Lung in his full dragon form who had been waiting for this opening landed on top of the endbringer holding it down. Lung has been waiting on the side lines building up his power so that when there's an opening like this he be ready to strike. He was talked to by the shipgirls before the battle as he's the only one who would be able to hold the endbringer down long enough for the fleet to finish it off if they managed to weaken or wound it enough where it's forced to flee.

With Lung holding Leviathan down, the fleet open fire on the open wound on it's chest, along with every hero with a long range attack. Leviathan struggled as it tried to free itself from Lung who is holding it down, it could feel the firepower from the things that shouldn't be in this world, blast away at its layers.

Then it happen, Leviathan stop moving as the sheer firepower of the fleet tore into its core.

The fleet stop firing as the endbringer's body stop moving and died. Lung still in his dragon form wanting to make sure flip Leviathan on it's back and tore into it's chest, ripping away as he tore the endbringer's body apart to make sure it couldn't comeback to life.

Lifting the head of Leviathan high in the air for the world to see. A mighty roar echoed through the air as the heroes and villains celebrated the death of a endbringer.

!

In the command center -

The room was filled with the cry of celebration as the people in the command center saw the death of one of the endbringers. All thanks to Sovereign and her shipgirls, which would have cause many countries to look at the young parahuman with much more interest then they had before. They showed that they have the power to kill a endbringer and any country that has Sovereign on their side would be the most powerful nation on Earth.

But for Sovereign who is surrounded by her shipgirls, all she cared about was the list of the shipgirls who died in battle.

"We're gathering their bodies and they will be rebuilt," Victory said as she wraps her arms around her princess who is sobbing over the deaths.

"It's never easy," Constitution said to her who help to comfort their princess.

The other shipgirls kept people away as the two elder shipwomen help their princess to collect herself.

!

1 - The new shipgirls are all from Victory Belles game.

2 - Seeing how the enemy ships in the Azur Lane game are able to fire beams of energy and balls among other things, the ships in this story can do the same.

3 - String Theory's Driver Weapons are powerful enough to knock the moon out of orbit. Which in cannon can kill an Endbringer which is why in cannon they avoid being anywhere near her.

The countries are jubilant after the Endbringer Leviathan is confirmed dead. Thanks to the combine might of Sovereign's Fleet of shipgirls who brought it down with the help of the parahuman Lung, who made sure the endbringer is dead by ripping the body to pieces. The damaged to the city is much smaller with only the coastal area damaged by the giant waves the endbringer used till the ocean around it was frozen. The bounty placed on Leviathan by Japan has been split between Sovereign and Lung.

Most of the capes have already left but some have stayed to help out with the clean up. For the Fleet they're busy repairing the wounded and gathering their dead. The shipgirls who can still operate and the walking wounded are busy gathering the body parts of their fallen. Sovereign is in morning for her lost shipgirls and has closed herself off, remaining on the armed cruise ship Queen Mary. Refusing to talk with anyone, and the shipgirls are making sure of that. They're going to rebuild the dead shipgirls but the main problem was that the shipyards of the bay have all been damaged. Leaving the parts of the dead shipgirls sitting in the cargo hold of Queen Mary.

As people celebrated the death of an endbringer, government leaders are making plans of their own. Seeing that the Fleet under the command of Sovereign is able to kill an endbringer, they're now making plans to bring her to their nation and her fight for their nation. Which is why the US government is throwing all the resources and money into helping to rebuild the fallen shipgirls using whatever she needs to do so. For they know if they don't, another country will and any excuse to why they couldn't just give her the resources she needs will just cause her to turn and go to another country that will just give her what she needs with no excuse to why they couldn't.

Portsmouth, Virginia

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard, often called the Norfolk Navy Yard and abbreviated as NNSY, is a U.S. Navy facility in Portsmouth, Virginia, for building, remodeling and repairing the Navy's ships. It is the oldest and largest industrial facility that belongs to the U.S. Navy as well as the most comprehensive.

The shipyard is being prepared to receive all the wounded and dead shipgirls to repair them. But trouble came up quickly as political leaders on the right began stirring up problems to make a big scene so that they can get attention to their issues. They used the fact that Sovereign's Fleet is mostly made up of foreign shipgirls who sail under other flags from other nations. They even went as far as trying to force her to stop using the shipgirls or to put her fleet under the flag of America. Or at least that's how it's seen by those that oppose Sovereign. Which tied up all the funding and resources that are needed to repair all the shipgirls.

The republicans playing to the far right crowd wants Sovereign to become apart of the US navy so that all the shipgirls would be under the US flag. Which would still have the right bringing up more issues and delaying the funding and resources so that they be able to play the issue to their base. All awhile making Sovereign wait for the bill to pass while one party of interest in the government milk the issue for all its worth.

Leaving Sovereign to sit and wait while her shipgirls did what they could with what they have at hand to repair their fallen sisters. But as the days gets closer to when the bill has to be passed, all sides are putting in everything they need to get it pushed through before a vote. While the shipgirls are doing what they can with what they have to keep the fallen shipgirls alive till the bill passes. With donations from several businesses and groups of issues giving much needed resources and funding. But to fully repair warships she needed the funds and resources that only a government could provide.

When the day came for the vote on the bill to rebuild the shigirls, it was filibuster by a republican congressman on the issue that the funding would be going to non American shipgirls. Which caused a delay in the voting process and gave everyone time to think about what to do next. Which caused Sovereign to become fed up with the system and decided to take another option. (1)

On the Queen Mary -

Sovereign sat in the dining room of the armed cruise ship which is crewed by copies of said shipgirl, like all the other shipgirls of her fleet. She still doesn't get it but she has learned to just go with it. She's meeting with an ambassador representing the EU, Sally Hanna, about an offer that the countries that make up the EU have for her, seeing how the filibustering of congress has cause the bill to be delayed for several more weeks or months.

"It's been at least a month since my shipgirls killed the endbringer and most wounded or dead. And the republicans are making the bill to repair them a hot button issue. All I want to hear from you is that the countries of the EU will not make this a political issue and just give me the funds and resources to repair and bring my shipgirls back to life," Sovereign said to Sally.

"You have my word on that and we in the EU are proud to see that you were able to defeat the endbringer, and for helping our allies, Britain, Italy, France, and Germany, with the Leviathan. The shipyards are fully prepared to repair your fleet. They will have to be separate into groups but they will all be repaired. With no political showboating," Sally said.

Sovereign nodded and smiled at Sally, knowing she had her answer.

"Thank you, Ambassador, for your help," Sovereign said.

"There's a jet ready to take you to England. Her highness your aunt wants to house you at the palace during your stay," Sally said.

"Good," Sovereign said as she turns to Queen Mary. "Tell the others we're heading for the airport."

"Yes princess," Queen Mary said radioing to the others to get ready to leave.

Queen Mary leaves the room and Sovereign goes over to her room to find her father there.

"Are we leaving?" Danny asked.

"Yeah," Sovereign said. "The republicans are going to wait till the last minute to sign the bill and in the meantime my girls are dead."

Danny stands up and takes Sovereign's hand. Sovereign looks up at him and sees a worried look on his face.

"What is it, dad?" Sovereign asks.

"I am so sorry about this, Princess," Danny said.

"I have to leave, the EU are offering me what I been asking from congress for over a month now. But they seem to think that my fleet would be able to still fight another endbringer even if more than half of my Fleet are either still need repairs or dead," Sovereign said.

"I understand," Danny said knowing this be the last time he be seeing his daughter for a long time.

The docks -

The number of people who have been assigned to watch the going ons at the docks, keeping an eye on Sovereign and her Fleet. Suddenly saw the two armed merchant cruisers Atlantis and Queen Mary suddenly disappear. The shipgirls of the fleet climbed into a shipping container that's large enough for all of them to get into. Once closed the carriers who are still able to fly grabbed onto the container and lifted it up and flew off. Sovereign herself is sitting on the lap of August von Parseval who sat on a black stone throne on a slab of black rock that flies, with a dragon like rig. The flying shipgirls all clustered around Sovereign and the shipping container holding the rest of the fleet, heading towards the airport.

At the airport a Boeing 777 that's fitted to hold 388 passengers waited for Sovereign and her shipgirls. The container was open and the shipgirls and they began boarding the plane on the runway, the carriers would be flying as escort along side the jet for protection, having fueled up to be able to make the 6 to 7 hour flight to London. Once the plane was clear to take off by the control tower, the jet took off with the carriers flying along side it. (2)

!

Elsewhere -

Coil watch the footage of Sovereign and her Fleet heading off the London where the royal princess will be greeted by her aunt the queen and the rest of her extended family. He had pulled strings and bribed many people to make sure there be no delays of the princess's send off. He had to go through many timelines to make sure there be no stopping the jet from taking off. Too many times the government had grounded all flights once they learned about the plans of Sovereign to leave for Europe. Which did just have Sovereign flying off to Europe with her carriers but he had to make sure she and her fleet were out of the city.

"Finally she's gone and out of my hair," Coil said as he watched the news of Sovereign and her Fleet leaving the city and the country, heading for Europe hit the news stations.

"And now we can get back to business," he said as he looks at the glass tanks filled with liquid that preserves organic materials sitting in his office.

During the clean up of the city and salvaging the parts of the wounded and killed shipgirls, his men managed to get their hands on some body parts. The part of the head of the shipgirl York and limbs of the other shipgirls were preserved in the liquid filled tanks. Which many interesting parties will pay top dollar for, to learn all they can about the shipgirls.

!

1 - Seeing how filibusters are used all the time in congress in real life. Should you be really surprised that politicians would used the bill to repair the shipgirls for their own benefits?

2 - Flight from Boston to London is about 6 to 7 hours, which Brockton Bay is close by.

!

After landing at the Heathrow airport in London UK, Taylor for the first time in her life entered another country, with her Fleet of shipgirls. Where a military escort awaited her, she rode in the royal car with Victory, Hood, Sheffield, and Glassglow. Who Victory picked as the ones who have the least issues of their choice of clothes, which would have reporters taking pictures and having shipgirls dressed in very revealing outfits would be a bad impression. Taylor did pick Peter Strasser of the Iron Blood, Bataan of the Eagle Union, Chkalov of the Northern Parliament, Lampo of the Sardegna Empire and Verdun of the Iris Dominion. The latter two rode in the royal car, with Verdun riding in the passenger side of the car.

The convoy took them to Beckham Palace, while the other shipgirls are taken to the nearest shipyard that had been prepared for them. With all the resources and skilled shipbuilders from the countries that made up the EU, to fully repair the shipgirls and bring the shipgirls who died back to life. For like ships that have been raised from where they sank, ships can be repaired and be brought back to service. And unlike the US government, there was no grandstanding or filibustering they just all agreed to do it, as they're not going to ruin their relationship with Sovereign.

The convoy pass by crowds that lined the streets in the hopes of seeing the American princess or one of her shipgirls, the police and the local heroes are all out in full force. Stopping at the front of the royal palace, the carriers who had been flying above the convoy landed around the royal car. Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth stood with the other members of the royal family, to greet their cousin. The first to step out of the car is Victory who lends her hand out helping Taylor out of the car, followed by the other shipgirls.

"Your Majesty," Victory greets the .

Queen Elizabeth smiles warmly at the legendary warship. "Victory! How have you been?"

"I'm good, Your Majesty." Victory replies, and steps out of the way so that Taylor and Queen Elizabeth view wasn't block by her. "I present, Taylor Hebert of the royal house of Norton."

"Norton?" Queen Elizabeth asked.

"I decided to go with my great grandfather's royal house that he created by himself," Taylor explains. "As the only member I can decide the royal rules and traditions of my house. I would otherwise have to follow so many customs and rules of all the houses that, I'm apart of." (1)

Queen Elizabeth nods. "That's quite wise of you, Taylor, and good luck with that."

Taylor turns to face Queen Elizabeth, and bows slightly. "Thank you Your Majesty."

"You're welcome," Queen Elizabeth said as she welcomes her great niece to the family.

!

Weeks later -

The repairs and rebuilding of the shipgirls have been going well, as the hero tinkers of Europe have also leaned a hand in the work and calling up other parahumans with useful powers to help as well. They're not only rebuilding the dead shipgirls but also making them stronger and more powerful then they were before. Updating their old systems and weapons, with modern ones or replacing them all together. But it will still take time for the refits and repairing to complete, which will take some months. With some of them being taken to their home ports of the countries they originally came from.

Sovereign has been busy gaining much good will among the countries of the EU. Assigning shipgirls to the countries of the EU and working with the local caps and navy or military, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Each country has on average have at least 10 shipgirls who are station in the country not counting the ones being rebuild or repaired, with them tearing through the villains.

With her Fleet killing an endbringer and now taking care of villains, has brought Soverign much praise with the countries that her shipgirls are station in. The seas have once become a hub of travel thanks to the death of Leviathan, no longer stalking the seas. And now that people have seen one of the endbringers dying, has cause people to start having hope again.

Sovereign has also been traveling around the countries of Europe meeting up with members of the royal families that she's related to and making bonds with them. She's been traveling with Constitution and a ever changing bodyguard shipgirls. But the ones who stayed with her no matter what are, August von Parseval, Sovetskaya Rossiya, Gnevny, Gromkiy, Boiky, Verdun, Volta, Carabiniere, Belfast, Illustrious, Leonardo da Vinci, Axum, and Bataan, who always travel with her. They also brought along with them all the children shipgirls to keep an eye on them.

The reason why is that when they were staying in England, at the royal palace the kids got into the candy which is much sweeter than it is back in the states. The results is that Clevelad, Lena, Li'l Sandy, Little Enterprise, Little Bel, Little Cheshire, Little Illustrious, Little Renown, Little Prinz Eugen, Zeppy, and Little Spee went on a sugar rush rampage again. Which had them chasing the dogs of her great aunt all around the palace and making a mess. So the kids are traveling with Sovereign so they won't make a mess again and she can keep an eye on them.

And to make it up to her aunt, she gave her the command of the maid shipgirls. Who all have to wear the uniforms of the female staff of the castle instead of the sexy fetish maid outfits they usually wear. Which doesn't affect the other shipgirls who wear revealing outfits.

Which lead to rumors that Sovereign sleeps with her shipgirls. A tinker went so far to send in a camera drone to get a picture of her sleeping with her shipgirls, which the tinker did get a picture of her sleeping with her shipgirls at the hotel she was staying at in France. Which is just a picture of her sleeping with the shipgirl children sleeping on the bed with her, which they often do.

The child shipgirls are just kids emotional and appearance but they're just as powerful as their full sized adult counterparts. That adds to the protection around Sovereign thanks to most people just seeing that the chip shipgirls are just children, not expecting them to be much trouble or packing firepower that can kill an endbringer. It hasn't happen yet as the older shipgirls scare off any would be attackers, and what happen to the gangs of Brockton Bay made it clear what would happen to any villain or gang who tried.

The United States have been busy trying to get Sovereign to return back to the states. The bill that was filibustered was passed through as Sovereign had wanted without anything added or having anything else that the politicians who made it into a hot button topic caused it to be delayed in the first place. Not helped that during a live tv interview, Sovereign explained why she left and named all the politicians whose grandstanding to make power plays and pander to their power base, are the reasons why she left. Her fleet are the only ones to date who are able to kill a endbringer, but instead of giving her what she needs to kill the last two, the named politicians want to use her to get votes no matter what cost that, if her fleet isn't back to full strength when the next attack happens in the United States, she won't be able to do a repeat of Brockton Bay's victory when the people in charge care more to have votes and keep their power then keeping people alive. Not to mention some of the named politicians didn't see the shipgirls as anything but weapons, and easily replaceable.

Needless to say the named politicians are doing damage control as they did what they can do to make themselves look good, when they're the ones who caused the parahuman and her summons who are the only ones who managed to kill an endbringer to leave the country. Lots of people both in the news and on Parahumans Online are slamming the politicians about their boneheaded move.

There is also the Russians who are demanding that their shipgirls are to return to Russia but the Northern Parliament shipgirls refuse to follow the commands of a government that executed the royal family. Sovereign maybe just a cousin to the Russian royal family but with the throne empty, she's their princess of choice. Causing much concern with the countries of the EU seeing how the shipgirls if they didn't want to would just leave, so they made sure the shipgirls are well treated. As the same thing happen with the Eagle Union shipgirls when the United States tried to get them to come back using their pride as Americans, which Constitution responded by pointing out that many of her girls are still wounded or dead, because of a few politicians who cared more about staying in power then her girls well being. Just like how soldiers are always been treated by the American government. Warning the parahumans working for the government that their benefits would be taken away or made it be like Hell to get them. (2)

Also with the Fleet gone the villains and gangs saw the opportunity to fill in the power vacuum they left behind, which even the Elite the largest villain organization in the United States had made plans to keep out of the way of the Fleet. But that was before Lung reappeared and stake his claim to the entire city, now seen as even more powerful then he was before, thanks to him helping to kill Leviathan with him tearing the endbringer apart. He has one of Leviathan's eyes preserved and on display in his HQ as a trophy. Not many villains or gangs want to mess with him.

Italy -

The Stibbert Museum is located on via Frederick Stibbert on the hill of Montughi in Florence, Italy. The museum contains over 36,000 artifacts, including a vast collection of armor from Eastern and Western civilizations. Where Sovereign is looking around as she's been visiting places while she's on her tour. Currently with her are Carabiniere, Pola, Zara, Vittorio Veneto, Marco Polo, Eugenio di Savoia, and Constitution who always sticks to her. With it being their country, the Sardegna Empire shipgirls are taking over the tour of their country. The others are busy keeping the child shipgirls out of trouble and the crowds from bothering Sovereign.

Sovereign is at the museum looking around as while she's on tour around Europe she wants to see all the sights that she can. She and her escort had already seen all the big sights of Rome and visited Vatican City. Sovereign now wants to visit lesser known places to visit. (3)

The Stibbert museum is a interesting place to visit, with all the artifacts that are on displayed. Sovereign is currently looking over the artifacts from Asian, looking over the royal seals from China, the collection is mostly made up of copies of the real thing. But they are very old which is why they're priceless artifacts. Most of the items here are too fragile to be opened so they can be inspected for age and damage. She takes note of the different types of armor from the various cultures of the world. From the armor of the Chinese, the samurai of Japan, and the armor of the Mongols.

The sound of breaking glass alerted everyone as something was toss through one of the windows. Quickly Pola, Zara, Vittorio Veneto, Marco Polo, and Eugenio di Savoia through themselves on top of the briefcase using their shields and bodies to muffle the explosion. Constitution quickly wraps herself on Sovereign, shielding her from the explosion as the briefcase bomb of a pack of C4's and tinker tech blew up. The blast flung the shipgirls around the room and sending Sovereign and Constitution into a display case smashing the protective glass on impact, with Constitution taking the full impact.

Bursting into the museum are the Three Blasphemies who are made up of three women with alabaster skin and white hair. They wear masks depicting ruby-lipped faces, a smile, a frown and a snarl , and flowing, white dresses. They been sent to kill Sovereign and are making sure that she's dead. They know that the shipgirls wouldn't be down for long and the blast would bring the other shipgirls to their location in seconds. They had time their attack when the rest of the shipgirls weren't close enough to come rushing to the rescue. What they didn't expect was a group of new shipgirls bursting into the room.

"Protect the Empress!" Yat Sen as she lead the Dragon Empery shipgirls.

The Chinese shipgirl destroyers An Shan, Chang Chun, Fu Shun, and Tai Yuan quickly surrounded their empress. The light cruisers and the lone carrier attack the Blasphemies, with Harbin using her giant umbrella to push the 3 supervillainess out of the window where they came from, with the help of the others. The Blasphemies landed on the group and look up as Harbin, Yat Sen, Ning Hai, Ping Hai, Chao Ho, Ying Swei, Hai Chi, Hai Tien, and Chen Hai leaping out of the broken window, followed by the other shipgirls who had recovered from their bomb.

The Blasphemies seeing how badly their plan had gone wrong run from the enraged shipgirls. As they were running they were slammed into by the small but very heavy bodies of Little Enterprise, Little Illustrious, and Zeppy who had been flying around the museum when the attack happen, when they saw the three Blasphemies running from the other shipgirls they attack. The three child carriers attack the Blasphemies by bitting and ripping chunks of flesh from the villainesses who were taken completely by surprise at the sheer level of strength the child shipgirls displayed.

The other ships girls from both inside and outside of the museum piled on top of the three villainesses like a pack of zombies. Teeth bite and chunks of flesh are bitten off, hands grab and tear off a piece of the villainesses as they fight back the best they could, but unlike the heroes they're use in dealing with, the shipgirls don't follow the unwritten rules and simply went for the kill. For they tried to kill their princess and have to die for it. They only stop tearing and ripping apart the 3 villainesses only when there was only scraps of them left.

The scene was caught by the cameras of the people in the crowd and the news crews. The Blasphemies were the European Slaughterhouse 9 and now are just the scraps of what the shipgirls didn't want to eat. The shipgirls turn to the museum where Constitution came walking out holding Sovereign in her arms with the destroyers with their rigs arms and ready to fire at anything.

"Get her to a hospital!" Constitution shouted to the carriers.

August von Parseval took Sovereign in her arms and flew off on her dragon rig with the other carriers flying as escort.

Constitution turned to the Chinese shipgirls. "I felt Sovereign using her power, but how was she able to summon you all?"

"Her empress was holding onto this when she called us," Tai Yuan said holding out the jade seal that Sovereign had unconsciously grabbed as she was using her power to call for help.

"A jade stamp?" Constitution asked looking at it.

"It's the Imperial Seal, the one who possessed this seal is granted the Mandate of Heaven, a sign of rulership over China," Yat Sen explains. (4)

"Wait isn't that just one of many fakes?" Marco Polo asked.

"No it's the real seal that had somehow ended up here," Yat Sen said.

Constitution looks at the seal and at the Chinese shipgirls. "So by her holding onto the seal and with no royal family onthe throne in China. And she is royalty, it was good enough to allow her to claim the title Empress of China?"

"Yes, she has claimed the title and will be crowned the first empress of China once she enters the Forbidden City," Yat Sen said.

"Oh yeah that's right you all were scrap so none of you know what happen to China since you all were last around," Constitution said as the shipgirls who were scrap or sank had lots of things to catch up on since they were last around. And knowing that once Sovereign comes to, she's not going to like that she's now has a new royal title and a new fleet of shipgirls to deal with, again.

"What happened to China?" Yat Sen asks.

"This is going to take awhile," Constitution said knowing this is going to shock the Chinese shipgirls of what happen to their country.

1 - From what, I know of Royal Families, they have to follow rules and customs to keep appearances and not bring shame to the house name.

2 - Seeing how military veterans have what was promise to them taken away, the same would happen to parahumans.

3 - While seeing the big tourist hot spots is a must, if you can you should visit more less known places which can have their own charm to them.

4 - Imperial Seal of China, also known as either the Jade Seal or the Heirloom Seal of the Realm (Chuanguoxi/Tengokuji) and Imperial Jade Seal, is a carved seal made from the historically famous He Shi Bi jade. It was once believed that those who possessed this seal would be granted the Mandate of Heaven, a sign of rulership over the Middle Kingdom.

This particular seal was crafted in 221 BC when Shi Huangdi toppled the six Warring States and unified China under his rule. He had his chancellor, Li Si, inscribe it with the words: "Receive the mandate from heaven. Enjoy longevity and eternal prosperity." The seal was described to have been four inches at the base with an upper ring carved in the likeness of five interlaced dragons. It is also said to have a chipped corner repaired with gold due to Han Empress Wang throwing it on the ground in response to the demands of Wang Mang.

The usage of seals were primarily used to affix documents, literary works, and various paintings. There was a time when all seals were referred to as xi until the birth of the Qin Dynasty made the word exclusive to seals used by the emperor. Early seals were mostly created from jade, bronze, or other precious metals; later eras used materials such ivory and porcelain in the crafting process. The creation of seals was considered a form of art.

The Imperial Seal was passed on from one successor to another until it was deemed missing during the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. There are many theories as to how it disappeared, but none have been proven so far. The seal was never found and its location remains a mystery to this day. With many copies and fakes appearing throughout history.

And while, I did say that the Asian shipgirls wouldn't be showing up in the story because that Taylor is related to the royal family. Doesn't mean I can't bring them in by other means.

"Because Sovereign held the Chinese Imperial Seal, the real one and not one of the fakes. She in the eyes of the 13 Dragon Empery or Chinese shipgirls, is the empress of China," Doctor Mother said to the members of Cauldron, Contessa, The Number Man, Legend, Alexandria and Eidolon.

"Is that what the shipgirls do to the ones who try to kill Sovereign?" Number Man ask Contessa.

"Yes, they're always be as brutal as possible. Them tearing and eating the Blasphemies and the carriers bombing that building in Russia killing the one who ordered the attack. Is what they did in the timelines that I saw. And the ones where she is killed, they become… sirens as they call themselves. They… just all attack at once, too fast, too many, not caring about anything but to kill, no way to defend. They became the new endbringers," Contessa said not even trying to hide how scared she is of the sirens. She remembers how she had tried fighting and failing as they would just overwhelm her, tearing her apart as they bite down and tore her flesh.

"That, I can believe," Legend said having seen first hand what kind of powers the shipgirls have.

"Sovereign can't be allowed to be killed then," Alexandria said.

"If she's killed the shipgirls will just know who is responsible and will hunt them down, no matter what," Contessa said.

"At least the Blasphemies are all dead now," Eidolon said. They have been killed before but they always showed up again later, because one of them survived and revived the dead ones. But this time all 3 have been killed and eaten so they're gone for good.

"How are the Yangban and the Chinese government taking the news of their new empress?" Number Man asked.

"They want her to come to their country and bring all of the shipgirls with her," Doctor Mother answers.

"And she will disappear into the Yangban or the shipgirls tear apart the country," Legend said having heard rumors of what the Chinese government does to parahumans.

"Anytime she was kidnapped by a government in the other timelines, the shipgirls would always find her. If she was killed and they turn into sirens, they would always destroy the country first before attacking everything else," Contessa said.

"In that case, we have to protect her," Alexandria said.

"No that always ends badly. We just need to give her what she needs to do what she needs to do," Contessa said.

"The EU is already funding and giving her all the resources she needs to repair her shipgirls. The US government is trying to lure her back with promises of more funding and resources. The politicians who held up the bill that caused Sovereign to leave in the first place are now trying to do anything to save face. Sovereign naming each of them for filibustering the bill that she needed to be able to have her fleet be able to kill the last two endbringers. Saying they would just wait till the last minute and act completely surprise that the repairs weren't done by the time of the next attack and the endbringer wasn't killed. Because they rather make power plays and pander to their bases then save lives," Alexandria said.

Contessa and Doctor Mother look at each other and nod, agreeing with Alexandria.

"We should just give her what she wants," Contessa says.

"I agree," Doctor Mother agrees.

Italy -

Sovereign once again found herself waking up in a hospital, after she was knock out from the C4 bomb used to try to kill her. In the room with her are August von Parseval, Illustrious, Bataan, and the new shipgirl, Chen Hai, from the new fleet from China the Dragon Empery the only carrier of the group. The 3 child shipgirls Little Enterprise, Little Illustrious, and Zeppy, are on the other bed of the two bed room watching tv. The other shipgirls are on their way to the hospital, which is being guarded by the local heroes and the police.

"I'm now the new empress of China because of me finding the Chinese Imperial Seal," Sovereign asked.

"Yes, you are the new empress of China. With the throne empty and you of royal blood, you are more then worthy to claim the throne," Chen Hai said.

"Great, now I'll have the Chinese government hounding me as well," Sovereign said as she already has her hands full with the Russians who been wanting to have the Northern shipgirls be given to them. Then there is the US government who are trying to get her to comeback.

They showed her pictures and videos of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, all prepared to rebuild and repair all of her shipgirls. Resources and funding have been pulled from other military projects so that there be no issues. As for the politicians who caused her to leave, have all been relieved of their duties on projects that have anything to do with her and are now more worried of keeping their political careers then to pull another stunt like they did, again. But she's not going to be trusting them anytime soon. She did tell the government official that, the next time she ask for aid from them, they either do it or she'll go to anyone else who will, without any of the bullshit she had to deal with. Even with the full backing of the EU, only have of the shipgirls who were wounded or killed have been repaired. It will take some months before her fleet will be back at full strength. (1)

"And you all rip and ate the ones who attack me?" Sovereign asked.

"Yes we did," Illustrious said.

"We all felt it when you were attack and came rushing to attack the ones who did it. The others also took care of the ones who ordered the attack," Bataan adds.

"Wait you all just feel it when I'm attack and can just tell who attack me?" Sovereign asked.

"Yes," the shipgirls in the room said.

"Alright good to know," Sovereign said seeing how that would be very useful.

Japan -

The number one hero of Japan, Starflame was surprised to be called to the royal palace and meet with the emperor himself. He is also apart of the royal family by one of the lesser clan. The news of Sovereign becoming the empress of China because of her finding the Jade Seal that was lost till it ended up in the museum in Italy somehow, and she used her power while holding it. Letting her summon Chinese warships, as she holds the royal seal and the throne of China is empty.

"If Sovereign is to kill the last two endbringers, she will need all the shipgirls she can get," the emperor said to the number 1 hero of Japan.

"I know but what you want to do...," Sunflame said looking at royal treasures of Japan in front of him. Each one enclosed in their own glass cases.

The imperial regalia of Japan and consist of the sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi, the mirror Yata no Kagami, and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama. They represent the three primary virtues: valour (the sword), wisdom (the mirror), and benevolence (the jewel).

"I know, I'm breaking traditions in doing this. But to kill the endbringers, I will do what needs to be done. Let the next generation judge me, there will be a next generation if this works. I need you to personal go and give Sovereign my personal invitation to come here," the Emperor said.

"And if this fails?" Sunflame asks.

"There is more than one way for someone to become apart of the royal family," the emperor said.

"Which is why I'm going," Sunflame said.

"Yes," the emperor said.

1 - Like in real life, repairing or rebuilding ships, specifically warships will take months to complete.

[madhat886]

Sovereign has been moved from the public hospital to one located in an Italian military base, for better security. Her shipgirls are always with her and more careful than they were before. With her now commanding the Dragon Empery fleet, the Chinese government has join in on trying get her to either join the Yangban or give them the Chinese shipgirls. Just like the Russian government wanting her to either join them or give them the Russian shipgirls.

The US government is also adding pressure for her to return, with them tossing everything into the shipyard to not only restore her fleet back to full strength but also make them better. Sovereign wasn't interested in what they have as she expected action not words. They had their chance and blew it and she's not going to be wasting her time on people who rather make power plays while her fleet are in shambles. Even now with the powers of Europe putting much of their resources into repairing her fleet, it will still take months for all of them to be ready for the next fight.

All 53 shipgirls who died during the battle with Leviathan are still being rebuilt and upgraded, with the time table being a couple of months for all of them. The walking wounded are still being repaired with only some being fully repaired. Sovereign stated to reporters that if she had stayed in the US, the republicans would still be making issues about anything and her fleet would still be waiting for the bill to pass. Right up to where the next endbringer attack happens and the republicans would all be acting surprise that her fleet can't fight, as the very idea that it take months to repair a battleship is a idea that they only heard about in myths and legends.

Currently Sovereign is meeting 4 new shipgirls that she had summon while she was sleeping. A Northern Parliament shipgirl, a Royal Navy shipgirl and two more Dragon Empery shipgirls. In the room with her are Zeppy and Little Bel who are watching a cartoon on the tv.

"Project 68-K, Chapayev-class cruiser Kuybyshev, at your service. My construction was halted before the war, robbing me of my opportunity to contribute. I have to admit that I have my regrets, but I plan to do all I can now to make up for it. You have my full support, princess," the shipgirl with short blue hair and red eyes, who has bandages wrap on the right side of her face covering her right eye. And her outfit of an odd white leotard with a separate black cloth strap onto her chest covering the large hole in the breast area. The outfit trades the emphasis of bust by being smaller for shapely hips and (exposed) thighs. She also wears a... "rather large" winter coat and with how it hangs off of her shoulders, it flows more like a cape.

Than again her sister ship is, Chapayev who wears a form-fitting shirt that exposes her cleavage, a short skirt and pantyhose that does little to hide her legs, and high heels for good measure. Sovereign is willing to bet that unlike her sister, her main fan service features is her butt. Unless the black cloth is keeping her breasts bond down, like a sports bra.

"Colossus-class light aircraft carrier Theseus, at your service. Sadly, I just barely missed my chance to fight in the war, but that's okay. Much like my namesake's ship, nothing will change who I am now," the Royal Navy shipgirl said. She looks like her sister ship Perseus, and dress in a maid like outfit like her, that shows off her large chest, like many of the buxom shipgirls tend to do.

"I am a seaplane tender of the Dragon Empery, Hwah Jah. Unfortunately, my treasured blade was never completed, and I was condemned to a life of mediocrity... But let's not dwell on my dark past," said the European looking woman who is dressed in a Chinese dress that shows off her buxom body. This is because she was converted from an Austro-Hungarian merchant ship that wound up stranded in China in WWI.

"I am Ting An of the Dragon Empery's First Fleet. I once served as a seaplane tender before being converted into a transport ship," the last new shipgirl said. Her dress is just completely shameless, as her breasts are only overdid by two thin straps of white and blue cloth, that have two brass rings hanging on where her nipples would be. Her breasts are massive, that are so perky and round, that spits in the face of gravity.

Making Sovereign wonder why so many of her shipgirls are so buxom and dress like they just came out of a porno. The ones who aren't all who've hit puberty share a very similar slim hourglass figure, with only a few exceptions. Most of the destroyers are teenagers in looks, with them either being young looking or older looking. With the other shipgirls seem to follower, bigger the ship, the more busty they are. And Ting An, easily is in the top 10 of the bustiest shipgirls.

"Nice to meet you all," Sovereign said to her new shipgirls. "Constitution will be the one who will be assigning you to your duties."

"Yes princess," the four shipgirls said and then they left the room.

Sovereign lay back on her bed, wondering what she's going to do next. With the Blasphemies being eaten and the one who was controlling them dead, by her shipgirls has caused ripples across Europe. There's investigations going on in the Russian official who was killed by her shipgirls who just knew who sent the Blasphemies to try to kill her. Now people are wondering how can the shipgirls know who had ordered the attack and how they know where to find them. People are also wondering if her life is in danger, could she just summon more shipgirls. Not that there are many who wanted to find out, seeing how the shipgirls tore and ate the Blasphemies. Resulting in people being fearful of what would happen if she's attacked again, and what she can order her shipgirls to do to her enemies.

Sovereign thought back to what Victory said to her.

'One important fact you should always keep in mind, when it comes to keeping the high moral ground. Lose it and do what you need to do to win. While there should be some line that shouldn't be cross, despite idealistic platitudes, victory ultimately goes to those who are ruthless and desperate enough to take the most extreme measures, not to the morally superior.'

Victory is an old grizzly veteran, from the by gone age of sail. She's more than willing to do what needs to be done and doesn't care about the age of the person. She had sent ships sinking into the watery depths, with young children on board. Usually cabin boys but not always, Victory will not care how old someone is when it comes to protecting Sovereign. For she follows the old way in dealing with people who try to kill members of the royal family. Doesn't matter the age of the one who did it, they either be punish or hang and quartered. (1)

"Sovereign, Starflame is here," Marco Polo said sticking her head into the room.

"Time to see if, I can also be a princess of Japan," Sovereign said having talked with Starflame whose identity as a member of the royal family of Japan is public knowledge.

!

Later -

In a board room, Starflame and his teammates, Glorywave, Gold Samurai, Umbrella Queen, and Vesper, along with several Japanese agents waited. In the room with them is Carabiniere, Pola, Zara, and Vittorio Veneto. There is also a civil servant in the room too who brought the legal document that Starflame asked for. Outside the room the Italian soldiers are on high alert. For the royal treasures of Japan on display on the table, the imperial regalia of Japan. Consisting of the sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi, the mirror Yata no Kagami, and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama. They represent the three primary virtues: valour (the sword), wisdom (the mirror), and benevolence (the jewel). Each held within their pillow lined box.

With the royal treasures outside of Japan, the treasures are heavily guarded at all times. The Japanese government hopes that when Sovereign holds the royal treasures she would be seen as a Japanese royalty and be able to summon the Japanese shipgirls, just like what happen with the Jade Seal. Speaking of which, Sovereign in an act of good will had already handed the Jade Seal to the Chinese government, while refusing to hand over the Chinese shipgirls. As she refuses to hand them over when they don't want to go to China.

Sovereign enters the room with Marco Polo and Constitution escorting her. Since the attack, there is always at least two shipgirls with Sovereign at anytime. She walk to the royal treasures and put on the jewel by the thin string around her neck, carefully held both the sword and mirror in her hands. Sovereign used her power trying to call the Japanese fleet, after five minutes pass, she puts the treasures back in their boxes.

"I felt nothing like what happens when I summon the shipgirls," Sovereign said.

"Alright plan B," Starflame said as he place a document with his signature on it already and sliding it to Sovereign.

"A marriage certificate?" Marco Polo asked reading it as its in Italian which Sovereign can't read. (2)

"Yes, seeing how Sovereign's grandfather is an emperor simply because no one ever said otherwise, by signing the certificate she will legally be married to me a member of the royal family of Japan. Making her a princess of Japan by marriage," Starflame said.

"And the divorce papers?" Sovereign asked.

"Right here," the civil servant said placing it on the table.

"Good if this doesn't work we can just get this thing over and done with," Sovereign said.

"Yes," Starflame said signing the divorce papers. (3)

Sovereign once she signed the paper that makes her the wife of Starflame, she used her power to try summoning the Japanese fleet girls. She felt the tingle that came when she summons shipgirls that she has gotten a hang on since she was triggered.

"Its done," Sovereign said.

"So where are the shipgirls?" Starflame asked.

"Theyre always close by," Sovereign said.

The door of the room open and a soldier sticks his head inside.

"There's a large group outside, in the front," the soldier said.

Sovereign left he room with her escort of shipgirls and Starflame and the other heroes. They headed for the front entrance of the building and when they got to the entrance there are two new shipgirls waiting for them. One has short brown hair and the other has long blonde hair. The blonde is, dressed like a British shipgirl, and has horns attached to her hat. The other shipgirl looks more like a British shipgirl too and has two horn on her head.

"I am Kongou, Kongou-class battlecruiser ship number one. I offer you my guidance on the path to victory!" the blonde said in English.

"I, Mikasa, the dreadnought who emerged victorious through smoke and fire to bring power and glory to my home country and the flagship of the Sakura Empire," the brown haired shipgirl said.

"Hi," Sovereign said looking at the two. "You're part of the Japanese fleet?"

"Yes we are and we were build in England," Kongou said.

"Oh so that's why you look like the Royal Navy shipgirls," Sovereign said. "How many are there?"

"There are 138 of us," Mikasa said.

"Well time to see the new fleet," Sovereign said as she walk to the entrance and the two shipgirls open them for her giving her the view of her new fleet.

Outside are a horde of Japanese shipgirls, who are dress like something out of an anime or manga. Schoolgirl uniforms, loose fitting kimonos, that show off either buxom bodies or slender bodies, that's out of place by how young some of the shipgirls look. In fact many are dress in clothes that are just pure fan service, showing off their bodies for all to see, panty shots, jiggling breasts, and worst of all showing young and slender bodies of underage looking shipgirls. But the main thing that caught Sovereign's attention is that the shipgirls of the Sakura Empire all have either animal ears and tails, mainly cats and foxes or having horns on their heads.

"Oh my god, they're furries!" Sovereign gasped out with a completely mortified look on her face.

Author's Notes -

1 - The old laws of what happens to people who try to kill members of royalty are brutal to make people think twice of trying.

2 - A big wedding is nice but civil weddings at a courthouse will do just fine. And much less expensive and stressful.

3 - The plot where someone has to get married for whatever reason can easily be done by just going to a courthouse and signing the papers to become married, than the two who are married can just sign the divorce papers. Seeing how in all the plots that I have seen where someone has to get married, the issue of how long they have to be married is never brought up. As divorce is always on the table which no one ever seems to think of in those have to get marry plots.

Sovereign sat in a boardroom with Nagato the flagship of the Sakura Empire, along with Mikasa the oldest ship of the Sakura Empire, Constitution and Marco Polo are also in the room. In the room with them is Sovereign's husband Starflame, who thanks to being a member of the royal family of Japan allowed Sovereign to summon the Sakura Empire fleet once she signed the marriage certificate making her a princess of Japan by marriage. Seeing how Sovereign's power only allows her to summon shipgirls from countries that she's apart of the royal family or with the Chinese shipgirls held the Jade Seal that made the holder the royal ruler of China's empty throne.

"I thought I could handle having so many shipgirls who dress in fan service clothes and having bodies out of a hentai. Which the Sakura Empire fleet are full of fetish fans service and are furries," Sovereign said as she pitches the bridge of her nose.

"What about the Royal Navy fetish maids?" Constitution asked.

"Don't remind me," Sovereign said as the issue of how her shipgirls dress, in most cases how revealing they dress. Which just cause so much Rule 34 to happen with art showing up on the internet, and stories of her sleeping with her shipgirls.

"They're like the youkai of Japanese mythology," Starflame said.

"That explains a lot," Sovereign said and turns to the 2 Japanese shipgirls. "How many are there in the fleet?"

"The fleet stands at 137 shipgirls," Mikasa said.

"And 3 more child ships," Marco Polo said. The new child ships Akagi-chan, Amagi-chan, and Hiei-chan have joined the child ships that were already summon and are in the mess hall with the other shipgirls for lunch.

"Well now that, I summon you all. Some of you can go to Japan with Starflame and protect the Pacifica while the rest handle the Atlantic. The entire fleet can be divided so that both seas be protected," Sovereign said.

"As you wish princess," Nagato spoke up.

"Breaking up the fleet?" Mikasa ask.

"Well I can't have all the fleet be around me. I am now apart of the Japanese royal family and need to protect the people of the Pacific. Plus there are still islands that are colonies of countries of Europe, that can house some shipgirls. With the fleet spread out they can respond to emergencies faster than if they're all in one place," Sovereign explains.

"I can lead the shipgirls on the Pacific while you lead the Atlantic," Starflame said.

"Sure, Nagato you and the others listen to Starflame," Sovereign said.

"Yes princess," Nagato said.

"Have to figure out which shipgirls are to transfer and make sure everything is ready," Sovereign said.

"The Russian and Chinese shipgirls need to stay far from the countries and their ally countries," Marco Polo said.

Both countries have been pressing to have the shipgirls of said countries to be handed over to them. The agents that both countries have been trying to lure the shipgirls to return to their home countries, which are all rejected. The bombing of the building in Russia of the one who ordered the attack on Sovereign by the Blasphemies ending with the 3 being eaten alive has caused the Russian agents to be more careful how they approach the Russian shipgirls and the Chinese agents as well. Word quickly got out that the shipgirls are able to track down everyone involved in any attack on Sovereign. The one who sent the Blasphemies to kill Sovereign has ties to the Russian government and a Russian official was also killed by the bombing of his car while he was in it. As for the fallout of attacking on Russian soil, is a moot point as many countries are wondering how much Russian had in hand in creating the Blasphemies. Causing a lot of tension between Russia and the EU countries.

"I wouldn't put it pass them from trying to get a shipgirl," Starflame said as the Chinese government have been in human trafficking of capes for awhile now. Same for the Russian government, grabbing capes from nearby countries to add to their cape teams.

"Well if they did manage to grab one of the girls, we're going to just march in and take her back. Depending on what happens we might leave the country intact," Constitution said.

"Would they really do that?" Starflame asked Sovereign.

"Yes they would, I can order them around but they will do their own things," Sovereign explains.

"She is just a princess, till she actually declares herself queen of whatever empty throne she chooses," Marco Polo adds.

"Also about our marriage?" Starflame ask.

"I keep the divorce paper for now, have no idea what happens if I sign it," Sovereign said.

"Well you won't be apart of the royal family of Japan but we'll still follow you," Mikasa said.

"Yes but seeing how you all only came when I used my powers, the ones I didn't summon might not come later. Shipgirls do show up even when I don't use my power," Sovereign said.

"If you sign the divorce paper, it could stop anymore shipgirls from appearing?" Starflame ask.

"That's what I figure. They only showed up because I signed the marriage paper and became apart of the royal family of Japan," Sovereign said.

The door of the room open and Kongou stuck her head in.

"Princess there are 5 new Royal Navy shipgirls here," Kongou said.

"See what, I mean," Sovereign said to her husband and turn back to Kongou. " Send them in."

Five new shipgirls of the Royal Navy came into the room and introduced themselves to Sovereign.

"H-class destroyer, Hero. Oh yeah? You wanna hear about my history? Heheh, if you insist. I escorted a bunch of battleshiiips, I was in Operation Excess and stuuuff... Honestly, what I really wanted was to enjoy the October sunlight in the comfort of a port," the destroyer introduced herself.

"Dido-class anti-aircraft cruiser Scylla, ready to serve. I served as an escort carrier flagship in that war, but I was unable to perform any major exploits. But now... I am only a Royal Maid, here to devote heart and soul to you, Master," the new busty maid shipgirl said.

"Introduce myself again? Okay... Umm, my name is Royal Oak, and I'm a Revenge-class battleship from the Royal Navy. I was able to accomplish something in the Battle of Jutland, but I ended up getting badly damaged after... I just hope I can escape my bad luck here at this port," the battleship shipgirl said.

"Know me as Argus, oldest carrier in the world. With the glory and tradition of the Royal Navy at my back, I come to you to lead the next generation of heroes"... I could never say something that grand with a straight face. I'm... looking forward to working with you, okay?" the light carrier said.

"Wait that's Furious," Kongou pointed out.

"Well she's not here," Argus said as she steps away to let the last shipgirl to introduce herself.

"My name is Implacable, I was made as an improvement to the Illustrious class. Sadly, like many late arrivals to the war, my name is only an insignificant footnote in the chronicles of victory. Be that as it may... have you started thinking about how you're going to "use" me, Commander?" the shipgirl who is dressed as a naughty nun introduced herself.

Sovereign just stared at the revealing swimsuit and nun habit combo that Implacable is wearing. The hood of the habit even has a pair of horns on it. She glance at Starflame who is staring at the busty naughty nun shipgirl, who is just staring at her. Sure the other 3 older shipgirls wear revealing outfits but what Implacable is wearing is just something out of an adults only fiction.

"I really shouldn't be surprise that I keep getting shipgirls who look like they step out of a hentai," Sovereign sighed.

Arthor Notes -

1 - While Argus is certainly old, the title of the 'oldest carrier' (ie one capable of launching wheeled aircraft) would go to HMS Furious instead. However, Argus was the first flush deck carrier and was converted from the Italian ocean liner Conte Rosso.

In her room at the Royal Navy base, Victory is honoring the time tested tradition that's even older than her, making moonshine. A soldier's life is hard and stressful, and getting drunk or high on drugs is considered essential for staying sane. While almost all armed services in the world view drunkenness in the service negatively, the Cannon Fodder at the bottom of the military food chain has its ways to avert the watchful eye of the superiors. Many junior officers turn a blind eye on military moonshiners (as long as no one is getting too out of control, or hurt worse than a hangover), as they know their troops and how they need to blow off steam occasionally. Hence why the rum ration was a hallowed tradition and medical common sense in the Royal Navy.

The Navy officers did raised issues on how the shipgirls are making stills and making moonshine when the base store does sell alcohol and they also can just go off base to get something to drink. Which Victory pointed out that the liquor sold just didn't have enough of a kick. The moonshine the shipgirls make is basically gasoline, too much alcohol for any human to safely drink without it destroying their kidneys and liver, which is the best outcome. Victory also pointed out that while she and the others look human, they're not and what it takes to get them buzzed is lethal for any human, even for capes.

Seeing how some of the shipgirls add things that are toxic for humans to drink. Some add different kinds of oil, and not cooking oil but motor oil, break fluids, oil for rust, and other types of oils that will kill a human. Some of the shipgirls are using wood gasifiers to add to their moonshine. Leading to the shipgirls brewing a more potent recipe to get them drunk, which is more like ethanol than alcohol. (1)

Which the booze the shipgirls are making is basically just fuel for their engines. With all of them being able to do the booze flamethrower trick, some of the shipgirls are learning to breathe fire by spitting out their fuel from their mouths. And the booze is dangerous for any human to even get the booze on their skin. (2)

The Royal Navy shipgirls took after her in making rum, with some making gin.

The Northern shipgirls being true to their Russian roots make a special vodka that's so strong that it makes a dandy engine degreaser, fire accelerant, and sterilization agent during field surgery.

The Iron Blood shipgirls are mostly making beer and ale that can be used to remove paint.

The Iris Dominion shipgirls like wine, that's made with different kinds of mushrooms that are poisonous. Others made mead, loaded with poisons.

The Dragon shipgirls like making rice wine and fermented tea, mixed with battery acid.

The Eagle shipgirls are mostly making different kinds of moonshine, using whatever they could find to add to the mix.

Victory herself makes rum that's not only putrid but is also crawling with bugs inside. Which is just like how she remembers the rations served on her when she was young. And that's no joke thanks to no refrigerators, having to salt and dry food to make it last, which insects and rodents fed and made filthy. Where sailors have to deal in eating food that often had bugs in them and water that is filthy but they still had to drink it.

Constitution on the other hand makes her moonshine out of red hot battery acid piledriver with extra formaldehyde, snake venom and black widow venom in a dirty glass with an olive. Which she eats the glass, instead of just drinking the coattail. That is something that all shipgirls can do, they can eat just about anything to make fuel and rearm themselves by eating.

And after watching a cartoon, 'Regular Show' she started to make the "Mississippi Queen" that is made of chocolate sauce, kimchi, pasta sauce, sashimi, chuco, soy sauce, whole clams on the shell, shrimp, mayo, and hot chili peppers poured into a huge glass and served with a little cocktail umbrella. Turns out shipgirls can eat anything spicy and not be effected by it, they stil taste it but the spice doesn't effect them, with the being able to eat handfuls of the Carolina Reaper peppers without any trouble at all. With them just saying it has a nice little kick to it.

The ringing of her phone caught her attention. Checking it she saw she got a message that Sovereign has married a member of the royal family of Japan and is able to summon the Japanese shipgirls. Which meant both Kongou and Mikasa both built in Britain have been summon as well, two of her girls are back both under a different fleet but still they're back. She hasn't seen either of them since they were built and shipped off to Japan, it be nice to see them again.

Italy -

In one of the rooms of the military base she's staying in, Sovereign was busy figuring out what to do with her new fleet of shipgirls from the Sakura Empire or Japan, who happen to be furries. That brought a huge amount of problems, seeing how many of the Japanese shipgirls look like they came out of a hentai, wearing skimpy clothes that showed off their bodies, showed off their underwear and other fan service stuff. Which has cause lots of things to happen online, like the pictures and videos of the shipgirls going viral, rumors flying from the chat rooms.

Sovereign is currently talking with 3 new Northern Parliament shipgirls who showed up.

"I'm Kursk, a hunter from the snowy tundras of the North... That's too brief? Ugh, what a waste of time... I hate socializing. If you want to get along with me, then keep your distance," Kursk said who is the tallest and bustiest of the new shipgirls.

"Kirov-class cruiser of the Northern Parliament, Voroshilov, at your service. You already summon my sister Kirov? I make the plans, and she carries them out... Oh? You say we give off completely different impressions? Fair; our comrades often say the same," Voroshilov said who like the other Russian shipgirls is busty and shapely, showed by the revealing leotard she's wearing.

"Dreadnought of the Northern Parliament and flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol, has arrived. Hahah, I am the very ironclad willpower of the revolutionary vanguard, always under attack but never falling! Got it?" Sevastopol said who unlike many battleships is slender in build and also has long pointed ears.

"Voroshilov, I'll be sending you to Sweden where your sister is station. Kursk you're going to Sweden, and Sevastopol you're going to Norway where your sister Gangut is station," Sovereign said.

"Why are we in the northern countries?" Sevastopol asks.

"Because you Northern shipgirls make ice wherever you use your rigs and cold doesn't work on you," Sovereign pointing it out. "You are all dismiss, Constitution is in the mess hall. She's handling the Sakura shipgirls."

The new shipgirls left the room leaving Sovereign to deal with the problem of which of the Sakura Empire shipgirls be staying with her and the others going to Japan. Having the shipgirls go to the Pacific Ocean will be a huge boost for moral there. From the islands that are still colonies and territories of European countries, to the countries that are there like Australia, India, Philippines, Taiwan and others.

Of course she couldn't send the Chinese shipgirls over there, like she's keeping the Russian shipgirls at least one country away from Russia, to avoid anyone getting ideas to grab one of them. Seeing what would happen if that did happen, the shipgirls would be Hellbent on rescuing the captured shipgirl and destroying everything in their way. Which she told the ambassadors of both countries who have been trying to get her to give them her girls.

On the paper she's been writing on to figure out which of the 139 new shipgirls she'll be keeping and the rest be going with her 'husband' Starflame. Right now she has 13 shipgirls staying with her in Europe, mostly the ones who have child ships so that the kids will not be that far from their sisters.

The two Yamato sisters she has summon want to stay with her to keep her safe. Both sisters dress alike in wearing kimonos that showed off their very busty and shapely bodies, large breasts, large hips, and butts. Both are also fox girls or kitsunes, large fox ears and 9 long fox tails, and like many of the others already have lots of fans online.

"Now, I have 8 fleets of shipgirls, who can kill endbringers. Hundreds of shipgirls all following my orders and will die for me. Plus, I'm not married," Sovereign said looking at the list of her fleets and where they're located at.

Sovereign than looks to the report on the repairs being done to her shipgirls who were killed or heavily damaged during the last endbringer attack. The shipyards where they're being repaired at are all working around the clock to repair them, having workers work in shifts to get them as quickly repaired as they could. Sovereign is also have at least one shipgirl station at the shipyards to keep a look out for trouble and make sure there be no cutting corners.

She knows from her dad and the people working at the docks that shoddy construction is a big problem. Thanks to the fact that government bureaucracies contract out important work to the lowest bidders who tend to cut corners. This leads to absurdities like a top secret file room being protected by a state-of-the-art security door while the surrounding walls are made of cheap drywall that can be broken through with a single kick. (3)

Which is why she made sure to inform the governments that if they hire any contractors who charge high prices for substandard building materials and take a long time to do the job, she will just take her shipgirls out of the country. She doesn't need a government who hires people who intentionally built everything slipshod to squeeze every penny out of the job. The shipgirls also agreed in that they won't be station in a place that doesn't take care of them. To avoid bad PR like what happen when government leaders of the US block the bill to repair the shipgirls causing Sovereign to just leave the country, the different governments are making sure that only the best companies get the contracts to repair the shipgirls. Seeing how Sovereign said that the next endbringer attack, if the fleets aren't at full strength, a repeat of killing one won't happen again.

"Hopefully the girls be all repaired and ready for the next attack," Sovereign said reading through the reports on the repairs of her fleet is going.

Author Notes -

1 - A wood gasification boiler. Wood is burned in the firebox (top), and gases travel downward and are burned at 1,800 to 2,000 F in the ceramic chamber below. The hot gases then pass through a fire-tube heat exchanger to transfer heat to water stored in a large tank.

2 - Possible in Real Life, but only with very high proof alcohol (at least 100 proof, or 50% ABV). Anything lower will sputter a bit, if not put out the flame. Beer and wine aren't going to do it; you'll need to use something distilled. You'll need a good strong whiskey, some fierce vodka, 151-proof rum, absinthe, moonshine, or while not really what one would consider booze, PGA. That's right, pure grain alcohol — 96% ethanol. For things that aren't technically booze, there's methanol, industrial alcohol or wood spirit. Do not drink this stuff! (And for methanol and alcohol fuels based on it, don't even put it in your mouth for this stunt, the tissues of the mouth absorb!) Do not breathe it in! Do not get it on your skin! It is nasty! There is also isopropyl, commonly called rubbing alcohol or electronic alcohol. It is expensive and definitely not for drinking, but it burns nicely. Obviously, this is a hazardous stunt best left to practiced performers.

3 - You be surprised how much this is true in real life of a government job being poorly done to save as much money as possible.

Sovereign once again was greeted with the sight of another shipgirl appearing out of nowhere, or should she said child shipgirl. Little Formidable is sitting on a chair while Little Bel is combing her long hair. They're in the high class hotel that cost thousands a night to stay in, that is in the country of Greece the latest stop on her European tour.

"Illustrious-class aircraft carrier number three, with a promising future of becoming an armored carrier. Commander, I humbly request your aid in training me to become a proper lady," Little Formidable greeted her.

"Nice to have you," Sovereign said patting her on her head.

Sovereign is glad for the the newest member of the fleet to show up, the shipgirls who were killed or damaged during the last endbringer battle are still going repairs and refittings. Which unlike the republicans who kept the bill that would had given her the funds and resources to have them all rebuilt, couldn't be done quickly like they believe. Both destroyers from the Royal Navy, the sister ships HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta who were heavily damaged from a fight with the Merchants mouths ago, are finally refitted and repaired.

Both sisters have been modernized with their weapons and systems have been improved. Getting new bodies and outfits after the repairs and refittings were done. Their bodies are now older being taller and more shapely than they were before. Not voluptuous or busty like the older looking shipgirls but much different from how they were before. From teenagers to young women, which cause the younger shipgirls wanting to be refitted as well to become older looking like Ardent and Acasta. (1)

Sovereign having to deal with fleets worth of sexy shipgirls ranging from slender and busty to voluptuous, to furries right out of pure fan service anime's and mangas. Not to mention the choice of outfits that many of the shipgirls wear that are little more than swimsuits. Had to put her foot down at the request for refits, pointing out that all the money is being used to repair and refit the shipgirls who need it. When they need it then they get new bodies. She also doesn't want to deal with the fact that the young and child shipgirls may look like kids but are actually either close to 100 or older.

'With so many sexy shipgirls, maybe I should just give in and have them release a pin up calendar. It would make lots of money from the perverts,' Sovereign thought to herself as her fleet does need the money. Right now her fleet are being funded by being apart of the arm forces of the EU, but she needs to look into other sources of funding.

Brockton Bay -

In the PRT HQ, Piggot has been looking over the data of the goings ons around the city. The sole remaining gang the ABB have laid large claims on areas of the city that use to belong to the other gangs. Lung is making sure that the city is now his territory and with the eye of Leviathan that he had personally ripped out and now has on display in a large glass container, few gangs want to challenge him.

Last time the gangs of the city were chased out, is the reason why the 3 gangs had managed to gain power. Till the shipgirls came that is, wiping out all the key players and leaders of the gangs in a few days. The only reason why Lung and his gang are still around is because the moment the shipgirls started destroying the other two gangs, Lung ordered his gang to all lay low and do nothing. Some of their safe houses and operations were hit and gang members arrested or killed during the purge by the shipgirls. But Lung just stayed out of the fighting and stayed low as long as the shipgirls were still in the city. And once they left, Lung and his gang made their move in establishing themselves as the main gang of the city.

Lung is filling up the power vacuum that the two other gangs filled and with him helping to kill Leviathan has given his reputation a huge boost. Other villains and gangs are keeping clear of the city because of him and that if they try it might bring Sovereign and her shipgirls back. Allowing Lung to spread his influence around the city, all but unchallenged.

The only area that is free of gang activity is the docks where Sovereign's father lives and works. Which has improved since the shipgirls removed the ships blocking the harbor, allowing cargo ships to once again come in and out of the city. The docks are seen as the territory that's still under the control of Sovereign and causing trouble there will have the shipgirls being sent to take care of it.

Piggot turns to the reports of the only other major villain who is still activate in the city, Coil. He's been very quiet but once the shipgirls left he's been making black market deals, trading in shipgirls. With so many shipgirls being killed during the Leviathan battle, while their remains were recovered, there was plenty of parts that weren't. Now there's a black market for parts of the shipgirls that weren't recovered by the other shipgirls. Spent shell casing, weapons lost, and body parts are showing up on the black market.

Many governments and companies are paying top dollar for parts of a shipgirl. All wanting to see if they couldn't build their own or build their own weapons base on theirs. Piggot knows that the EU countries are examining the shipgirls that are still being rebuild and on the active ones to help in the rebuilding. Giving them lots of data on how they work, which because of the republicans who filibustered the bill to rebuild the shipgirls here, their chance of learning how they work is lost. All they can do is work with what was recovered after the battle. Armsmaster himself has some shell casings, a gun and part of a hand in his lab.

"A world where shipgirls can be built," Piggot said to herself, thinking of what that would do to the balance of power in the world.

Author Notes -

1 - In the game Azur Lane when a shipgirl is refitted they usually get an older looking body out of the deal. So in story when a shipgirl is refitted and rebuilt, they get a boost in age for the younger looking shipgirls who look like kids and become young adults.

Hohenzollern Castle (German: Burg Hohenzollern) is the ancestral seat of the imperial House of Hohenzollern. The third of three hilltop castles built on the site, it is located atop Mount Hohenzollern, above and south of Hechingen, on the edge of the Swabian Jura of central Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The first castle on the mountain was constructed in the early 11th century. Over the years the House of Hohenzollern split several times, but the castle remained in the Swabian branch, the dynastic seniors of the Franconian-Brandenburgian cadet branch that later acquired its own imperial throne. This castle was completely destroyed in 1423 after a ten-month siege by the free imperial cities of Swabia.

The second castle, a larger and sturdier structure, was constructed from 1454 to 1461, and served as a refuge for the Catholic Swabian Hohenzollerns, including during the Thirty Years' War. By the end of the 18th century it was thought to have lost its strategic importance and gradually fell into disrepair, leading to the demolition of several dilapidated buildings.
The third, and current, castle was built between 1846 and 1867 as a family memorial by Hohenzollern scion King Frederick William IV of Prussia. Architect Friedrich August Stüler based his design on English Gothic Revival architecture and the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. No member of the Hohenzollern family was in permanent or regular residence when it was completed, and none of the three German Emperors of the late 19th and early 20th century German Empire ever occupied the castle; in 1945 it briefly became the home of the former Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, son of the last Hohenzollern monarch, Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Among the historical artifacts of Prussian history contained in the castle are the Crown of Wilhelm II, some of the personal effects of King Frederick the Great, and a letter from US President George Washington thanking Hohenzollern relative Baron von Steuben for his service in the American Revolutionary War.

And is the current resident of Sovereign, a blood member of the Hohenzollern family.

!

Hohenzollern Castle -

The castle is now fully staffed and has German soldiers on guard duty around the clock. After the attack from the Blasphemies, the protection around Sovereign has doubled. With how important Sovereign is, the countries of Europe aren't taking any chances and now she has armed soldiers helping to protect her, along with her shipgirls.

Currently Sovereign is standing in the courtyard of the castle speaking with 3 more new shipgirls of the Iron Blood fleet.

"Iron Blood light cruiser, Regensburg. While I have no particular history to speak of, I'll prove that I'm not so easily controlled by you. Regina, let's show our inferiors what we're made of!" said shipgirl said standing with her sister ship Magdeburg.

Regensburg most striking features is that she has large black and red horns on her head, two large dragon wings on her back and a long barbed tail. She is also dressed in a skimpy S&M black leather outfit that she wears a body stocking underneath. Her rig is that of a giant dragon with a long snake like body, with two large wings and arms.

"Feast your eyes. You're looking at none other than Type 1937J destroyer Otto von Alvensleben! Well, what do you think? Why are you being so silent? This is the part where you're supposed to heap praise upon me!" said shipgirl said.

She is also dressed in a skimpy S&M black leather bikini that has lots of straps on it. Her rig is two shark like beasts, the smaller on she's using to ride on and the larger one has most of the weapons. Which they hovers over the ground like all the shipgirls when they use their rigs can do.

"Refitted aircraft carrier Gneisenau—Sorry, that's a little inside joke. I'm Jade, an aircraft carrier. While I may not be able to pull off any major feats myself, I promise I will obey you♪ Leave it all to me, princess," said shipgirl said as she stood with her sister ship, Elbe.

Jade outfit is more modest compared to the first two, a short black dress with a viewing window to show off her small but well formed breasts. Her rig is that of a giant shark the side of a large van that she rides on. The top of the shark is like the top of an aircraft carrier.

"Contact Hipper and she can assigned you all to your duties. Elbe and Magdeburg can show you 3 around and get you all updated," Sovereign said leaving the matter of where the shipgirls and what their duties are, to the ones who know what they're doing. She has studied history and learned from the past mistakes of people trying to take command over experienced military leaders. She only steps in when she wants something done. Other than that she leaves command to her flagships.

Sovereign left as she's expecting guests to arrive later in the evening. Members of her extended family would be coming to the castle to meet with her from the German line. Not to mention she has to read through the reports of the repairs and refits the remaining shipgirls who are still being repaired. Months later and her girls are still being rebuilt, which she pointed out in an interview of how long it takes to repair and refit a warship. How the republicans who kept on blocking and stalling the bill for the funds her fleet needed to be able to be repaired, they would had just kept on blocking it till the next endbringer would attack and expecting that her girls fail in killing the next one. Her girls need to be fully repaired and rearmed for them to be able to pull that trick off again. Which is why she left and the republicans who block the bill have changed their tunes as she publicly named each one of them as being the reason why she left.

"What is it, Kirishima?" Sovereign ask looking at her left as the ninja Sakura Empire shipgirl appeared. (1)

"We were watching the news and the republicans who kept on stalling the repair bill, are now pushing a new bill to recognize the House of Norton as the official royal family of the Untied States," Kirishima said.

"Still trying to get me to return after what they pulled. I'm not returning unless it's a endbringer or something happens to dad. They made their bed and that empty gesture of good will, is meaningless. If they can provide a fully operational Navy base for all of you and not connected to the US navy and always have the funding and resources we need, that be something," Sovereign said.

!

Untied States -

In a military complex a group of military top brass are listening to the latest recording from the spy bot. Sovereign being so important and being the one who lead to one of the endbringers being killed, also has tons of spies watching her. When she uses the bathroom, you better believe there's a file in triplicate, filed away somewhere.

"Her own military base with all the funding and resources for the shipgirls needs," one woman said.

"Those politicians really screwed things up," a man said.

"The best thing they could come up with is making the Norton House into the royal family of the United States official," another woman said shaking her head.

"I still can't believe it counts Norton being Emperor just because it says so on his tombstone," a man said.

"Seeing how if her shipgirls can kill the remaining 2 endbringers, will make her into a world power by sheer military might. Having her on our side might outweigh the cost," a man said.

"The bill with the billions needed to fully repair all the shipgirls is just sitting there and with all the resources that's been shipped to Norfolk Naval Shipyard," a man pointed out.

"We're not that desperate… yet. We do have our own shipgirls," a man said bringing up a screen that shows tanks with the still growing shipgirls, grown from the pieces of the shipgirls recovered. (2)

"I hope this works and not just have humans being cloned," a woman said.

"You better believe that other countries are doing the same thing. The European countries with them repairing the shipgirls, have all the opportunity to take samples and test things out. While we only have scrapes to work with. We know that the shipgirls aren't parahumans but something else. So the rules that the powers of the parahumans don't apply with them," a man said.

"Yes but can we control them? The only reason the shipgirls will listen to anyone else is because Sovereign told them to. Not to mention what will happen once they learn about the cloning. The shipgirls just knew the ones responsible for the attack on Sovereign and hunted them all down," a woman said reminding everyone what happen to the Russian officials who ordered the attack on Sovereign.

"As long as we don't mistreat them, we should be fine. Besides we're not the only ones making their own shipgirls," a man reminded everyone.

Buckingham Palace is a London royal residence and the administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning.

Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.

The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East Front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally appears to greet crowds. A German bomb destroyed the palace chapel during the Second World War; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.

The original early-19th-century interior designs, many of which survive, include widespread use of brightly coloured scagliola and blue and pink lapis, on the advice of Sir Charles Long. King Edward VII oversaw a partial redecoration in a Belle Époque cream and gold colour scheme. Many smaller reception rooms are furnished in the Chinese regency style with furniture and fittings brought from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and from Carlton House. The palace has 775 rooms, and the garden is the largest private garden in London. The state rooms, used for official and state entertaining, are open to the public each year for most of August and September and on some days in winter and spring.

And is where Sovereign is currently staying at after her tour around Europe. She's personally inspecting the repairs of her shipgirls, which is still even with all the work being done to them. Will take a couple of more months to have all of them ready for another battle with the 2 remaining endbringers. Something that she brings up all the time, to stamp in the fact that delaying their repairs like the republicans did for power plays, would result in her fleet being wreck and the next endbringer not being killed because she just doesn't have enough fully battle ready shipgirls.

The reason for the inspections is that some of the shipgirls are feeling strange. Both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau have been feeling odd lately along with a number of other shipgirls. All saying that they have an odd feeling like when they were being summon the first time.

In one of the guest bedrooms -

Sovereign is still sleeping in bed with a most of the child shipgirls sleeping in the room with her. The only ones missing are the Royal Navy shipgirl children, Little Bell, Formidable, Illustrious, Cheshire, and Renown, who are all with their older sisters. Leaving her to deal with the remaining kids who sleep with her. The kids provide her with protection which many people forget that while they do look and act like young children, they're still warships in human form. And it's not as awkward as it would be for her to sleep with one of the older shipgirls.

"Breakfast!" Glasgow said walking into the room pushing a food cart with the morning breakfast for Sovereign and ringing a bell. She and the other maids of the Royal Navy have been assigned around London and serve as maids to the royal family. (1)

Followed by Sheffield, Manchester, Gloucester, and Dido all pushing their own food carts with the plates of food for the children. The breakfast today is a Full English breakfast, of bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and beans. The kids hearing the morning bell to eat, got out of bed and crowded around the five carts grabbing a plate.

"Morning," Sovereign said as Dido came to the side of the bed with her cart.

"Morning princess," Dido said as she grab for the remaining plate and saw she didn't have one left. So instead she poured Sovereign some honey tea and look to her fellow maids. "Who has the last plate?"

"Not me," Sheffield said as the others all look at their carts and found nothing.

"Alright who grab another plate?" Gloucester ask looking at the kids who are spread out around the room eating their plates.

"Wait a minute," Sovereign said as she began counting the children in the room and came up with 11 instead of 10 which explains what happen to her plate. "There's 11 of them."

"Ok which of you sneak into the room last night?" Manchester ask looking to see which of the kids got into the room, again. Only to find a little girl sitting on the floor that she hasn't seen before, who looks familiar. Wearing a kimono, has long black hair and red eyes and has a bird head hairpiece on her head. Her outfit resembles a phoenix and that she's a Sakura Empire shipgirl narrows it down. "Taihou?"

"Taihou-Chan!" the child corrected with her mouth full.

"I summon another child shipgirl," Sovereign said getting up.

"I am the Sakura Empire's cutting-edge armored carrier. No bombs, torpedoes, or anything else can even scratch me. My Commander, I will systematically eliminate all who dare threaten you," Taihou-Chan said.

"Now, I have to recall Taihou so that she can look after you," Sovereign said as she likes to keep the older shipgirls close to their child counterparts.

A Day Later -

Taihou having taken a nonstop flight from Japan to England flew to the front door of the royal palace. She is let in by one of the palace staff who is with Enterprise the light cruiser not the aircraft carrier. She is escorted to where Sovereign is waiting for her, she got on the first plane to London after she got the call to come to her princess's side after a child shipgirl of her just showed up.

In one of the rooms they pass through Taihou spotted Amagi-chan on top of a table with two of the royal Pembroke Welsh Corgis barking at her. Which is a problem for many Sakura Empire shipgirls, namely dogs like the corgis who are bred to be cattle herding dogs who also chase after predators like foxes. Because of the large number of shipgirls who are Fox furriers cause lots of dogs to bark and chase the shipgirls. The only one of the girls with animal tails and ears who doesn't have problems is Naganami and that's because she's a skunk and she can spray when she wants to, covering any target in skunk spray.

"Go, shooo," Amagi shouted as she waves at the two barking corgis.

"You two go," Enterprise said scaring off the two dogs.

"Yeah," Amagi said as she leaps onto the bigger shipgirl who caught her in her arms.

"I see that you need to remember that you are still a shipgirl and those dogs can't hurt you," Taihou said and turns to

Akagi-Chan who is on another table with Akagi and Kaga with her.

"I can understand Akagi-Chan but really? You two are much bigger than those dogs," Taihou said to the two older shipgirls. "Not to mention you 3 can fly."

"Oh yeah," Kaga said as she and the other carriers sheepishly floated up and out of the room.

Taihou followed Enterprise to Sovereign's room and after knocking they enter the room where Akagi-Chan join Taihou-Chan who is with the other kids watching a tv show, while the maid shipgirl left to see to other duties. Sovereign is on the bed looking over the reports on the repair status of the shipgirls still out of action. Taihou presented herself to her princess.

"Taihou how's the trip?" Sovereign ask looking up from the papers she's been reading.

"Went well," Taihou said.

"How are things in Asia for you and the others?" Sovereign ask.

"Lots of people are fanning over us over there and we have been helping in handling any villains and crime. Lots of anime and manga companies want to use our images for works over there. And there are hentais being made of us over there," Taihou said.

"With how you are dress like so many others, I'm not surprise," Sovereign said.

"We could have official works done and give a source of income," Taihou said.

"The only source of income is from the EU military budget with all of you shipgirls being members of the arm forces and having a paycheck like any other soldier. And I'm being apart of the royal family get money from the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster thing," Sovereign said. (2)

"What about the only royal families you're apart of?" Taihou ask.

"Mostly the same, most of the countries are doing their best to not to upset me to the point where I just leave," Sovereign said.

"The Americans who got you to leave just made house of Norton as the royal family of the United States," Taihou said as she pulled a newspaper out from between her huge breasts and showed it to her.

"As if that would get me to go back," Sovereign said before thinking of something. "Also do you really have to pull things out from your subspace pocket like that?"

"Yes," Taihou said pushing out her huge breasts. "Me and the others over in Asia do it all the time."

"Which is one of the reasons why there is so much hentai about you," Sovereign deadpanned.
