Chapter 0 - Surprise Attack

                                    

                                          
The sun was still down and with the only guiding light being that of the moon, a ship slowly came into the harbor, guided by the personnel and the searchlight from a tug into the shallows until it stopped and dropped its anchor.
A group of girls was walking by as they watched the ship dock and now that it did, they slowly approached it
"I Didn't Expect to see a Lexington so soon," One of them said sarcastically "Did you get one shot during an exercise again?" She continued
"Oh please, do you really think I would make such a mistake again?" The pink haired girl said back as she jumped onto the dock and in front of the girls, her starry eyes looking at them
"Yeah yeah... but why are you here? Shouldn't you be near the Philippines?" The blond girl asked
"Heh... yeah... but high command decided that it is too dangerous for me to be alone out there as the single capital ship... so I'm back," The girl said with a shrug
"Oh well..." The blond in an officer's hat said "Will you be joining us in tomorrow's exercise then?" She asked
"No... I have to undergo some maintenance since I might have a loose propeller and my aftmost turret is lacking in turn rate" the pink haired girl said with a yawn "Anyway... see you tomorrow then, Enterprise" She said to the Yorktown class carrier
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Enterprise said back as she and her sister Hornet continued to the admiral's office
- - Hours Later - -
"So, what's the situation? Are their carriers there?" A haired girl asked as she stood at the end of her flight deck
"No, but if it's any better there is another capital ship there, Battleship most likely," A girl who looked similar to the other said as she approached
"..." The first girl stayed quiet
"Something wrong Akagi? The Americans aren't expecting us, so it will be an easy strike" The other girl said
"Yes... Our task was to get rid of their carriers and now they are gone... so everything is wrong Kaga..." Akagi said as she was in deep thought
"It's not like we can go back... we did receive the order to attack..." Kaga said as Akagi turned to her in an instant
"What! When?!" She asked
"A minute ago," Kaga said looking out to sea where just barely the silhouette of an island could be seen
"..." Akagi let out a sigh "If the orders had already been sent to us... then there is nothing we can do other than attack" She said as behind them rows of aircraft appeared
"Understood" Kaga said as the same happened on her ship

The sound of planes and falling bombs spread across the harbor as men and girls ran around to their stations, Anti-Aircraft guns opening fire whilst explosions rocked the ships and buildings. Planes burned in hangars and on the airstrips whilst the first of the ships began to receive damage from the dive and level bombers
The first torpedoes dropped into the water as alarms started only to be cut short as the poles and buildings with them collapsed. Bullets of all calibers and origins flew in the sky, some at it and others from it towards the ground
In one of the drydocks, a girl could only watch with horror as she was unable to do anything, her comrades all slowly beginning to open up with anti-aircraft fire or getting hit and damaged by torpedoes and bombs alike, her secondary guns being useless as her ships electrical batteries were being re-charged and short-circuited when the first bombs fell, her light-Anti aircraft guns being blocked by the cranes and port machinery which was in the middle of removing one of her turrets for maintenance and the guns that could fire had been already destroyed.
Then a massive explosion shook the base as everyone watched with horror as Arizona's magazine exploded, sending half of her rigging beneath the waves she managed to bring it out before the others, and was now slowly sinking
When a second explosion happened, everyone looked in the direction of the drydocks and where the Lexington class ship was located, the ship shook and fell into the water, the drydocks gate being destroyed by a powerful bomb and the machinery holding the ship breaking
The pink-haired girl collapsed onto her back whilst she was on the back of her ship when this happened as she watched her ship slowly sink, the bomb hits that she suffered while in dock not being dangerous then as she was without any flammable or explosive materials but now in the water she began to sink and in a way that would block important port facilities
But she wouldn't get a chance to worry as a number of torpedoes hit her ship near the middle, just as she was about to summon her rigging, and after she did so, more bombs fell on her, breaking the damaged rigging apart as she fell to her knees, or rather thighs as most of her legs were already deep in the water
Finally, something that no one expected happened as a single bomb fell right through the opening left by the missing 16-inch gun turret, and exploded inside the rigging
Destroying the wisdom cube
The port wasmomentarily engulfed in light and when it cleared, in place of the Lexingtonclass battlecruiser only metal and pieces of her rigging were left in the
