Third Person POV

Nagato: You mean to tell me that this isn't war?

Enterprise: It seems so.

Hornet: Is that John?

Atago: Yes, who is with him?

???: John you can't fight you are underage!

John: Come on Kyle, this is what we all want! If you are going to enlist so am I!

Kyle: John this is not ok! Howard help me here!

Howard: He is right John, after all he is the eldest among us.

Bismarck: Wait if he is the eldest brother....than that means.

Hood: Yes. It is.

John: Why can't I help my country!

???: You can help by not getting yourself killed.

John: Oh so what are you three doing?

Kyle: I am enlisting because you know father wants to have his elder song in the navy.

Howard: And you know that me and Marcus here are joining the RAF to help the war in the sky.

Marcus: You need to stay here to help mother and father.

John: *sigh* Fine but only because of family.

Kyle: That's the spirit. And hey we will all come back, right guys?

Howard: Yeah.

Marcus: Of course.

Kyle: Plus it is much safer back at home than at the front lines.

John: Yeah....I guess.

Then the buildings around them began to morph and the ships found themselves in a place that doesn't seem familiar.

Hornet: Where are we?

Belfast: I am not su-

???: Giovanni I need help with the bread!

Giovanni: Coming mama.

???: Your father is going into the army so we need to make sure he isn't going to go hungry.

Giovanni: Yes mama.

The ships followed the voice and they saw Giovanni helping his mother making bread. Suddenly 3 men enter the house all in military uniforms.

Giovanni's ma: What do you need?

Officer 1: Is this the home of Giovanni Rossie?

Giovanni's ma: Yes but why?

Officer 1: You have been drafted into the army.

The ships were shocked but were even more shocked at his reaction.

Giovanni: Wait, I am drafted?

Officer 2: Yes.

Giovanni: Ma?

Giovanni's ma: Are you sure, he is just a boy?

Officer 1: He is going to be a non combatant.

Giovanni ma: Are you ok with this?

Giovanni:.......I am ready.

Officer 1: Good, follow us.

Suddenly the world around them shattered like glass then reforms. The ship girls saw Karl in a line with a man in a military uniform at the head of the line. A sign near his head reads "Freiwilliger für das Deutschland!" (Volunteer for the fatherland!)

Bismarck: No....

Enterprise; What does it say?

Z23: It is a volunteer center.

Hood: For what?

Prinz Eugen: The army.

Hornet: Wait, how old is he?

Yorktown: If my math is correct he should be about 12.

Queen Elizabeth: He is too young!

Karl than stood in front of the man in a military uniform.

Man: Name and age.

Karl: Karl Scmidt, 17 years old.

Z23: WHY IS HE LYING ABOUT HIS AGE!

Man: Mr, you don't look that old.

Karl: Sir I am 17 years old.

Man: *sigh* ok. What do you want to join?

Karl: The army sir.

Man: Ok, bus comes here in 2 hours. Don't be late.

Karl: Yes sir.

The ships were shocked but then the scene around them changed and they found themselves in a strange harbour that looks a bit familiar.

Wales: Why does this look like our base?

Johnathan: Hey Chris!

The ships turned to see a 13 year old Johnathan hugging an older man who is in a navy uniform.

Chris: Hey little bro.

Johnathan: I can't believe you made it bro!

Chris: I know. Guess I am lucky.

A women and a man quickly approached to two and embraced them both.

Chris: Hi mom. Hi dad.

Johnathan's mom: I am so proud of you!

Johnathan's dad: You are in the navy, the Enterprise no less.

Johnathan: Big bro is going to be a pilot.

Hornet: Hey sis did I hear that right?

Enterprise: Yes, that is his older brother.

Z23: He is a pilot on the Grey Ghost huh?

Suddenly the image around them changed to what seems to be a training ground. They looked to see a group of young men excising. A man with the signs of a sergeant was walking between them.

Sergeant: The Imperial Army has no place for weakness! You will train and fight for your families honor and the honor of our Emperor! Do you understand!

The entire class: HAI!

Sergeant: Than keep going!

The ships looked around the class to see if their is Kaito but the Hachimaki on their heads prevent them from getting a good look. However they didn't have to look.

Sergeant: Mr. Kaito are you doing all the exercises!

Kaito: Yes sergeant!

Sergeant: Did I say you could talk to me!

Kaito:.....

Sergeant: As punishment you will not be having dinner for 2 days! Discipline is paramount, all those who do not have discipline will die on the battlefield!

The entire class gave nods of agreement as they continue to work out.

Atago: This is really grueling training.

Takao: I never knew he went through this.

Hornet: What, having second thoughts on your boyfriend?

Takao: What no!

Suddenly they were transported to what seems to be a map of a world. Their world.

They saw a country called Poland get overrun by Karl and Dmitri's country quickly followed by them getting blinded by a light again. They then saw Karl inside a truck going to a line of men and tanks.

Z23: What are they doing?

Karl got out of the truck and quickly got into formation with the rest of the men. Then a man wearing a green hat and a brown coat came in a tank and he smiled towards the men.

???: How are you soldiers doing this fine morning?

An officer went up to him and saluted.

Officer: Amazing General Rommel sir.

Rommel: Well than why don't we give the Belgians a sense of our good cheer.

The men including Karl all smiled.

Officer: We would love to do so sir.

Rommel: Great.

Rommel than looked at his watch and turned to face where the men are facing.

Rommel: Any second now.

Then they heard the sound of artillery can be heard in the distance and Rommel nodded.

Rommel: All vehicles forwards.

Rommel than got back into his tank and all the other tanks started to move through the forest. They moved with little regard for the trees as they rush forward with great speed.

Z23: Why are they moving so fast.

Enterprise: We are going to find out.

Suddenly they all saw a light near the end of the forest and the tanks started to go faster. The they reached the end of the forest and they came upon a small group of soldiers in a trench who all looked in shock.

Soldier1: Alarme! Alarme! C'est l'ennemi! (Alarm! Alarm! It's the enemy!)

Officer: All men charge!

The men including Karl all gave a battle cry and they lept into the trench. They soon began to fight hand to hand combat and Karl quickly killed 1 soldier. They continue their charge however smoke covered the ships eyes. When they could see again they saw Giovanni was running messages up and down a trench. An artillery shell landed and he was knocked off his feet but he quickly got back up and started running again. Another artillery shell hit and blew sand into the ships face. When they open their eyes again they saw Kaito stabbing a man as he leads a charge in what seems to be a city. Then they were in the map again.

Hornet: This is all happening so fast!

Enterprise: This is a lot to take in.

Tirpitz: Wait look.

The ships looked and they saw a number on top of the map. It says 1938. Then it flipped, 1939. The world is seen in a new light. Poland is gone, France has made a little progreee on the Germans. The Japanese took a huge portion of China. Then it was changed to 1940.

They looked back down at the map and where blown out of their minds. France has fallen. England was alone.

Hood: How! It was so quick!

They noticed a small red dot and they were then teleported again to the city John was in.

Queen Elizabeth: Why are we here?

Hood: According to the map this is a civilian city.

Bismarck: Ah so they should be safe right?

Z23: I would think so.

The they heard a drone, and they looked up. It was night and a cloudy one at that. Suddenly they heard a whistle then explosions.

Prince of Wales: What!

Z1: Those are bombs....

Suddenly they heard screams and they ran to the screaming. When the got to the source they were shocked. A young girl was dead in the street, her mother crying over her body. A man was trying to dig through the rubble. He was shouting a name, possibly his child. The ships were horrified at this sight but then they noticed a familiar face. John.

King George: This is terrible.

Hornet: How do these people bomb civilians?

Then suddenly a swirl of smoke is seen and they were again back at the map room. This time levitating above the map where words. Words in blood red.

This

Is

Just

The

Beginning.
