《Kantai Collection: Two Front War》Cranky Old People
Advertisement
Just a few days had passed since the little date between Jack and Kongou, and the two could rarely, if ever, be found apart.
"This is kinda cute." Haruna says as she and Linh notice the two on the couch, with Jack resting his head in Kongou's lap after a long day's battle.
"Man, you'd think that the Germans would stop by now considering we've beat them quite a few times." Jack chuckles.
"Well, that's the Germans for you dess." Kongou chuckles back. "Never give up until it's too late."
"They're just stubborn in that way." Linh says. "You won't let this little dating thing affect how you battle right?"
"Positively or negatively?" Kongou asks. "I have something worth fighting for now, so I'll fight even harder!"
"You got me there." Linh chuckles until Vinh and Hiei and Felicia and Kirishima stop by.
"What is it? More Abyssals?" Jack asks.
"Worse." Vinh replies. "I've spotted both German and Abyssal ships outside, and they've been fighting with each other for quite some time. It won't be long before they bring the fighting too close to our docks so we might wanna get out there before that happens."
"Let's do it then." Jack says as he sits up and everyone heads out to the docks to engage the two forces, but the Germans and Abyssals have been doing more sizing up one another and verbally fighting as opposed to physical fighting and shooting.
"You think you're SO high and mighty cause you look like the stuff of nightmares huh?" Bismarck shouts. "There was a reason people feared me!"
"Says the girl that couldn't stand her ground against little biplanes!" One of the Ru-Class girls shouts back. "That's certainly a part of history we can't understand! Something like that should be scientifically impossible yet you have proved otherwise!"

"Hey! I dare you to say that about my big sis again!" Prinz Eugen yells. "I oughta punch those teeth out!"
"Like you could even punch this hunk's teeth out!" The Battleship Princess laughs. She's buffed herself up since her last encounter with Jack and company as her monster has gained a horn on it's head and she's taken to wearing a different dress paired with a shawl.
"Why don't you just run off? The only thing you guys are good at is robbing innocent merchant ships!" One of the Ta-Class girls taunts.
"Ugh, they sound like squabbling kids in a nearby backyard." Jack grumbles.
"On the count of three all ships and all turrets fire at once. Pick a target and just let loose with everything you have. They are way too close to our docks after all." Felicia says into a radio communicator. All ships on the docks begin aiming their cannons at either a German unit or an Abyssal unit, and the two enemy sides slowly stop arguing as they notice many barrels pointed at them.
"And I completely forgot we are next to the Imperial docks..." Bismarck says sheepishly.
"Crap..." The Battleship Princess says awkwardly as a hailstorm of shells begin pelting both forces and the humanoids quickly duke to take cover while many lesser units get destroyed in the fray. When everyone finally lets off and the smoke clears the only enemies left are Bismarck, Prinz Eugen, the Battleship Princess, one Ru-Class and one Ta-Class.
"I think that'll shut them up." Jack chuckles. "Oi tetsufu! You wanna run away now?" He shouts, loud enough for both sides to hear.
"Shut up!" Bismarck yells as she fires a barrage and sinks a ship in the docks.

"Dude my ship!" Vinh shouts as his ship gets split in half.
"I WILL BREAK YOU!" Bismarck screams as she and Eugen start firing on the docks, attempting to hit the admiral and Kongou, but the former has already gotten on his ship and the latter is already zooming forth and Bismarck only realizes when Kongou slugs her across the face. "OOF!"
"How do you like that?" Kongou laughs as she and Haruna let loose with their cannons, sending Bismarck flying. Meanwhile Kirishima and Hiei deal with the Abyssals as everyone from the docks provides covering fire.
"You will not last very long against us!" The Battleship Princess shouts as her monster eats up all the shells that are fired at it.
"Damn! Our shells really aren't doing anything to it..." Kirishima mumbles.
"Well I hope you're still hungry!" Hiei shouts as she charges at the princess' monster.
"Hiei what the hell are you doing?!" Kirishima yells, but then Hiei produces a plate of her curry and throws it at the monster, who promptly eats it up.
"Now what was the idea behind that?" The Battleship Princess asks, dumbfounded, but not even a second passes as she starts feeling ill and her monster starts turning an ugly shade of purple.
"Um... Are you okay? Your guy's looking well... Purple in the face." The Ru-Class girl asks worriedly.
"No... I don't feel so good... You might wanna get back!" The Battleship Princess replies, sounding like she's trying to keep something down, and her monster suddenly vomits black stuff all over the other Abyssals and the two German ships. Kongou and Haruna escape just in time to avoid the sludge and everyone looks in shock.
"EW! WHAT IS THIS?!" Bismarck screams as she realizes she's covered in Abyssal puke.
"Oh that's gross!" Kongou shouts. "What happened?!"
"Hiei fed the monster her curry..." Kirishima says bluntly.
"I think we need to retreat... I cannot fight in this state..." The Battleship Princess says before she vomits something up as well.
"Ugh this is going to take forever to get out of my clothes!" The Ta-Class girl whines. "At least you don't have to worry!"
"Excuse me I look even more horrendous than you!" The Ru-Class girl complains. "Let's get out of here!" And just like that both forces retreat.

The kingdoms of the north have warred constantly since their inception with little lasting consequence - until now that the balance has decisively shifted, and the kingdom of Stanmark has risen into the ascendancy following a brutal takeover of their immediate neighbor in Waccewald.

But even as the conquerors step in to consolidate their victory, many of those who kneel conceal daggers behind their smiles. Deniel is a youth in the hinterlands of Waccewald in the days immediately following Stanmark’s takeover. As a mere commoner, his life hasn’t been overly complicated yet by the change – but as winter sets in, this is about to change. He, like many others, will be forced to make choices, the repercussions of which will echo into all the rest of his life. However long that may turn out to be.
