4 "Stray Calling "
"The Big Daruma is battling the Kamidake!" Seiryo yelled as he came out of the toilet with his pants down
"I know! Pull up your pants for got sakes! " Komachi yelled. Seiryo rushed to the toilet in a hurry
"What are you doing!?"
"I haven't wiped my ass yet."
"Ugh! Hurry up! "
"I know!" Seiryo hurriedly dressed and ran towards the bridge.
--------------------
"We must rescue the Daruma at once!" Seiryo ran onto the bridge
"Captain, I'm afraid that's impossible, We don't know where they are. And communications to the Daruma are blocked." Barry said
"Then how did we get a report about it !?"
"A spy in the GP sir."
"THAT COWARD SEINA YAMADA! HE'S TOO AFRAID TO FIGHT COMMANDER DARUMA ONE ON ONE! WHEN I FIND HIM....."
"Excuse me... sister... " Maya said to Komachi in a loud voice trying to talk over Seiryo.
"... .... AND THEN I'LL.." seiryo kept going on
"Hey sis... if The daruma and the kamidake are fighting then the Racapshi should have gotten out of the way and shut down to let everyone watch the fight. You might be able to find their location based on the things the people aboard it are putting online."Maya said confidently
"That's a good thought." Komachi agreed
"And then POW! Seiryo punched the console with his fist
"I know what I'll do! This is a lucky ship! We'll use luck to guess their co-ordinates!"Seiryo said ignoring them.
"OK! co-ordinate setting slots ready!" Barry said. The operators pulled on the slots all at once.
Kachin! Kachin! Kachin!
Numbers were displayed after another and became co-ordinates for their jump.
Hyper space jump program loaded!"
"JUST YOU WAIT SEINA! I'LL STOP YOU!"
------------------------
As expected by Maya, Racepshi stopped all it's services to watch the spectacle of the fight. After all, this large-scale battle was the greatest battle since the last great war, So there was no one on board who complained about it, not even the performers who's shows were canceled.
Makihi stood alone naked in an uninhabited hall.
The battle of the Daruma and the Kamidake was displayed on the big screen in front of her, the energy from battle and the heavy quakes from battleships exploding were converted into sounds and flowed around her at loud volumes. Makihi closed her eyes and spread her hands out to bask in it
"Well that's one way to enjoy it I guess."Washu said watching from behind her.
"When I do this, I can feel all of the battle, I can even feel what the inhabitants on the inside of the ship are thinking and feeling ..."
"Hmm ... ... am I disturbing your view?"
"Oh no not at all. Please don't mind me."
"Hmm then I guess I'll stay..." Washu stared at the Kamidake as it darted around the battle field.
"It's maneuvering wonderfully as expected ... it's moving quicker then Ryo-Ohki ever has."
"Yes, it's wonderful, there are so many opponents, they'll figure out it's evasion patters soon enough though." As Makihi said the pirates also had many skilled pilots.
She was right and attacks began to concentrate on the Kamidake. only a few hit but the hit rate was growing.
"I hope you built it with good shields ... ... huh?" Makihi noticed the Kamidake's doing something strange and her eyes opened wide.
"... ... Are those ...... Light Hawk Wings !?"
Three Light Hawk Wings emanated from the Kamidake and then they bloomed as if a flower was opening. the massive film of light diffused all the attacks that were aimed at it.
"... ....What's that racepushi? That's a second generation? There's a royal ship in the Kamidake ......?"
"Yup ... ... the Kamidake is attacking,the royal ship is defending, it looks like everything is working out well." Washu rejoiced
-----------
"Let's Try it again!"Seiryo beat his console with his fist again but they jumped in front of a gp ship that released its shipping container.
".... but first let's pick up that shipment. we're still pirates...."
-------------------------------
"Miao Miaumau!" Fuku was excited by battle and being synced with mizuki, and was bouncing around the desk of the central terminal.
"Kamidake's attack power is still rising."
"Our hit accuracy is amazing."Amane was excited.
All of seto's operators had nothing to do they sat round watching it like a movie.
Mikage began to cry.
"I bet she's hungry."
"Ms. Mitoto would you please?" Yuzaki handed the baby bottle to Mitoto.
----------------
"Ho ho ho, there's nothing to do, should make tea?"Mikami said
"Sounds good" Airi said
The officers went to make tea for everyone and handed it out.
It seemed to be more of a movie watching party then a tea party though.
-------------------------
"AAAAAH! Why cant we find the Daruma!"
They had jumped about ten times, but no luck.
"Maybe your too lucky?" Maya said
"What?"
"Your luck makes you avoid fights... so maybe your just too lucky to jump into one."
"You may be onto something Maya, we keep encountering a shipping ship every time we jump and they keep just giving us their cargo ... ...."
"And without any resistance ... ...."
"And most of them have had valuable items ...... "Barry and Cohen said
"Hmm, I see! alright!Abandon the lucky items on the ship! Hurry!"
"Roger that!" The ship ejected its lucky items into space.
"... Oh my... I didn't mean all of them.... sis do you think were going to be okay?"
Maya asked Komachi strangely.
"We have to... we need to get to the Daruma."
Komachi was concerned about the safety of the Daruma and didn't understand the meaning of Maya's words.
"Well, yes, but ...". Maya sunk back into her seat without saying anything more.
"Disposal has been completed!"
"Okay! Jump!"
----------------
"What are you doing! Shoot them down quickly!"
Daruma shouted excitedly. He would have fallen off his throne if his love affiliates on both sides weren't supporting him.
"The mobility of the Kamidake is rising abnormally. We can't keep up!"
"I don't want to hear you whine! This is a big fleet! We can't loose to one ship!"
"But they have Light Hawk Wings, the Kamidake must be equipped with a royal ship ..."
"Screw their Light Hawk Wings! They can't coverall of space with them! surround The Kamidake! attack from all directions with the power of numbers!"
Da Ruma instructed the fleet quickly began to reorganize into a row of omnidirectional attacks.
--------------------
"What's wrong, Racepushi?" Makihi who was feeling the battle suddenly opened her eyes.
"... ... Yes, I understand"
"What's wrong? Did this ship say something?"
Washu, who had been observing the battle silently until then, looked at Makihi.
"It wants to tell the things I am feeling to Mizuki ... ...The royal ship that exists with the Kamidake.
"... ...Will your customers be okay with that? It seems like a conflict of interest?"
"Mizuki is a 2nd generation. It can ask for that information anyways, Racepushi cant refuse."
"Well then I guess it can't be helped. Thanks for your assistance"
Makihi closed her eyes again and began to feel the waves of battle through out her whole body.
-------
"What! What is this data !?"
The data of the Daruma and all of its ships were displayed on the monitor of Kamidake with tremendous momentum. Kiriko was puzzled by it.
─── Kiriko. that ship Racepshi is sending me this data. Mizuki said
"That ship?"
Seto, who knew that Racepshi was a third generation tree, immediately understood it's intention.
"Amane, attack the displayed targets! You told me earlier, you're confident that you can be hit even a pinpoint right. Please show me."
"OK! But please explain this to me later!"
"Miao! Miaaaaaaaaooooo"! Fuku crowed
---------------------
The large monitor on the bridge started moving, the shape of the bridge changed.
"What !?"
"The energy output of the Kamidake is soaring rapidly!
"No way it's already past all measurable limit!"
"Fuku-chan's personal data is not being recognized ! This is an abnormality! It's out of my control."
Hakuren shouted.
"The control panel ... ... it's changing shape!"
The shape of the monitor displayed to the operators and amount of information displayed dramatically increased.
"Come, on! Let's do this Fuku ......"
A direct link with the Kamidake was formed especially with Amane who was in charge attacks and it was as if Amane herself became the Kamidake, she suddenly felt like she was being thrown into outer space. It felt like she was personally and directly attacking rather than using her thoughts to input commands.
"Amane !?" Kiriko, who was direct linked with Mizuki, also felt Amane's input. The fact that Kamidake and Mizuki were synced meant that Amane and Kiriko were also synced. The two momentarily locked eyes and smiled a bitter smile.
However, the two who immediately felt something odd and they snapped to look at the front monitor at the same time.
"More Light Hawk Wings!?"
At that time, parallel to the three Light Hawk Wings created by Mizuki, three more Light Hawk Wings appeared. And they overlapped each other, and a shape change of the Light Hawk Wings themselves started.
"What's going on !?"
"The Energy values of both Kamidake and Mizuki are rapidly rising!"
"High level weight vibration has occurred! We're Still shaking violently ... ...."
"At this rate we'll put a crack in space!" Hakuren reported nearly screaming.
"Stop, stop it! Fuku, Mizuki!"
"I don't mind! Keep going !" Seto shouted.
"Seto-sama!"
"We've broken all measurable limits!" the shaking and trembling stopped.
-----------
"What happened? What was that shaking ... ... Is there another Imperial ship?"
Da Ruma a shiver down his spine. He was worried that the devil princess and her ship were about to appear.
"No, the epicenter is the Kamidake!"
"Mr. Daruma, there's been a change to the Kamidake's Light Hawk Wings!"
"What ?! ... ....HUH!"
The pale light of Light Hawk Wings around Kamidake began to spread even wider as it turned into a beautiful transparent film . It was a beautiful pattern like lace knitting, just as if the Kamidake wore a dress.
"What ... what is going on?" Da Ruma muttered in a daze.
------------------------
"It's finally materialized ..."
Seto murmured like a soliloquy.
"No way ... the Light Hawk Wings, did you know that was going to happen?"
"Yes ... ... I've seen it once before when Mizuho and Karin act together they create the same phenomenon"
"Oh so that time with Funaho and Misaki?"
"It's said to be a phenomenon unique to twin trees where they make two sets of Light Hawk Wings together, we've been unable to reproduced it with our other ships, it means that the compatibility between mizuki-chan and Fuku-chan is excelent."
"Washu said that the Kamidake was designed under a concept different from Ryo-Ohki, which assumed there was another ship and it was to be engaged in collective warfare, perhaps this is the real power of the Kamidake."
"But Fuku-chan can't create Light Hawk Wings ... so why are there 6."
"Royal ships and Ryo-Ohki have quite similar properties, in fact Ryo-Ohki caused a similar phenomenon whens she struck Jurai seven hundred years ago I wasn't there, but ... its been proved by this. "
"Incredible……"
"There is a lot of about the Light Hawk Wings that we don't know."Kiriko replied to the word of Seto.
"Even so, it's amazing - we're completely guarded around the Kamidake, there're no blind spots, the damage rate to the hull is zero and the hull repair rate is even higher then normal."
Even if Light Hawk Wings prevent direct hits, the diffused energy would damage the hull of Kamidake, albeit slightly.
In addition, in a concentrated fight with a large fleet, the amount of energy that diffuses becomes enormous.
Of course, the Kamidake had self-healing capabilities, so it wouldn't be destroyed so easily, but there was no doubt that a time limit still existed.
However, if the repair rate of the hull exceeded the degree of wear, the worry that it would be destroyed theoretically disappeared.
"Response and accuracy of evasion and attack are further rising!"
"Precision prediction of enemy ship movement has reached almost 100%"
"Amazing! It's totally invincible, this is ridiculous."
"We don't know how long we can keep this up for. we must strike now! Yuzaki, Mikami, Ringo-chan. Please join the operation, Seina, please lend me your seat for bit. "
"Uh!"
before seina could get up, Seto forcibly sat down in the captain's seat.
He was pushed away by her splendid ass.
It's soft feel puzzled Seina as he ran away from the seat.
"Oh no ... ... what about me?" Mitoto tilted her head.
"Mitoto, please give Mikage her pacifier and you over there get Seina some tea."
"OK ♡"
"Aaaa aaaaa."Mikage seemed to be happy when Seina came nearby.
she gripped Seina's sleeves tightly.
"............"
Seina looked at the situation with a puzzled expression as he picked up the tea that was handed to him.
-----------
Seiryo jumped out once again but not to the Daruma but a fleet of GP battleships.
they began to fire.
"We cant avoid it!"The ship shook.
"The damage is minor!"
"As expected this ship was made based on the Daedalus after all ... Alright! counterattack ... ...."
"There is no time for that! We have to get to the Daruma!"Komachi shouted to Seiryo.
The GP ship hit again.
"Enemy fire! ....no damage this time."
"fine pull the slots!"
They began to get the random co-ordinates and jump but there ship was damaged by the jump and ended up falling out of hyperspace.
"What was that?"
"That was AHP! Were screwed!" Komachi's said uneasily
"What is AHP?"
"It makes friction with he vacuum created during hyper-space navigation and converts it to gravitational energy, it was Tarrant's secret weapon. he used it to capture the first Kamidake ..."
"Why do the GP have it !?"
"The Kamidake escaped, they must have gotten some and reverse engineered it to make some more"
"So we can't jump?"
"Our communication system is down too!
"I'm sensing GP ships jumping out ahead of us!"
"Aaaaaaah!" Barry screamed
a huge GP fleet jumped and bombarded them at the same time.
-------------------------
"Daruma-sama! The damage to the ship has exceeded 10%!"
" What how! Were supposed to have luck on our side!"
Daruma suddenly remembered something.
"Why isn't the good luck fleet here?"
"They don't the coordinates here ... ... Oh!"
"You idiot why didn't you tell them!"
Daruma's face turned red.
" ... ...Call them right away,Victory will be ours soon enough! Move to all ship defense formation ! "
"Okay! our call Jamming has been lifted!"
---------------
"The Guild's fleet is switching to defense formation."
"Are they trying to run away?"
"Doesn't seem so, maybe it's an endurance race?"Seto said.
"Endurance race? What are they planning to by buying time?"
"Reinforcements?"
"Perhaps a luck ship? It's odd that he hasn't shown up yet."
"Jamming has been canceled! Communication being broadcast!"
"Yeah.... that's what I thought would happen."
"What do we do?"
"Hey Fuku, do you know to do your sister Ryo-Ohki's Gungnir?" Seto asked Fuku kindly.
"Miah!" Fuku kept said happily.
"good girl, let's try it for a little bit.
"Mia! Mia aaaaaaaaaaaaaaao !!" With Fuku's Cries, the Light Hawk Wings which where spread in a lace shape twisted like a drill. the Kamidake, began to spin with terrible momentum
"...... Ahahahahaha! Amazing! Way to go Fuku-chan!" Seto laughed
It was more powerful then Ryo-Ohki's Gungnir. It looked like a needle rather than a spear.
"What! What is that !?" From the perspective of Daruma, it looked like a line of light.
"Sir the coordinate code has been sent, they should be heading here soon ..."
----------------------------------
At that time, the unko was surrounded by the GP fleet and was being bombarded with bombs nut since it was a ship modeled after the Daedalus, damage was minimal.
"We can't jump or do subspace communication unless the AHP is eliminated!"
"Get rid of it quickly!"
"We need to use a special detergent to remove it, even if we had it we couldn't use it in these conditions ......"
An attack from the GP directly hit the AHP, causing enormous tremors, Komachi screamed as the Unko shook.
"... ... Your screams are unexpectedly cute."
"Don't say such things with a serious face!" Komachi said turning bright red ear to ear.
"Sis if we can't remove it, how about we purge the exterior?"
"Huh?"
"It's just ornamental right?"
"Oh.... that's true!"
"But if we do that we abandon all of good luck items attached to it and dumping what we had inside got us into this situation in the first place! If we loose any more we will probably die when we confront the Kamidake!"
"I think your reaching.... that makes no sense." Komachi was now red with anger this time.
"Damn it fine! be an idiot, I give up."
"Purge it! Ha ha ha!"
---------------
"Ahahahaha Ha ha ha ha!"
"Mia! Mya mya Mi Miya"! Seto, Fuku, Mizuki and laughed as the Kamidake flew around and made its way closer to the Daruma as it penetrated through the defense forces it's sharp light hawk blade penetrated the enemy ships one after the other destroying them one after another.
It was an attack named the "Gai Vulg" that was distinguished as being different later from "Ryo-Ohki's" Gungnir ".
---------These are names of germanic mythological weapons weilded by the gods if my mythological memory recalls correctly-----
---------
"Well, that was fun, next stop is the big Daruma!"
"Shouldn't you end this already with your tripple Z?"Yuzaki asked.
Seto aimed her thumb downward silently.
"Boooo."
---------------
"Whatever you do stop him! Destroy the Kamidake!"
"Daruma-sama! The Kamidake is here!"
"What!" Daruma turned to the central monitor, the Kamidake was about to penetrate the big daruma!
"What ?! how !?" Daruma glared at the Kamidake.
"Half of our power reactors have stooped functioning! Hyperspace jumping is impossible!"
"Daruma, this is dangerous! Let's flee!" However, daruma shuddered with anger.
"This ship is a symbol of our Guild. It is this Guild! To abandon this ship is the same as abandoning the Daruma Guild! "
"If you're safe then we can rebuild!please give the recommendation to evacuate to all ships sir, the guild can still survive!"
"Chhh ... ... ..." He hesitated to take the advice his vice president was giving him.
'Daruma-sama! We've got a call from the Unko, it seems to be heading for us now!'
"Really? Everyone! Victory is at hand! Don't Surrender, bear it, we can endure! Victory is as good as ours!"
That was the choice that led to the end of the Daruma guild.
