(Aircraft Carrier 2nd Division --- Mess Hall)
U-556: Hm!?!? The Aircraft Carrier has stopped moving...
Z23: Did something happen???
And something happened to the entire fleet, that made all Iron Blood Shipgirls and their Personnels shock and some of them panic. The entire 2nd Division Fleet was glowing with different types of color with a strange mark. Because of that, the personnels of the 2nd Division Sentinel Fleet, notice and immediately pressed all red buttons for the alarm, since they know what will happen.
Because of that all Iron Blood Shipgirls and their Personnels was confused, like what is happening right now.
Bismarck: Excuse? What is happening now?
Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG) Lachlan Sinclair of the Diwata-Class: Ms. Bismarck and all the Iron Blood Shipgirls must immediately go to the Flight Deck, where Lieutenant Accel will show you something, that you need to see.
Because of that, all Iron Blood Shipgirls was called outside the decks of the warships. And saw a strange mark appearing outside the warships, that made some of them confuse and some of them afraid, on what will happen after this mark disappears.
(Aircraft Carrier 2nd Division --- Flight Deck)
Secretary Accel: Good morning, Ms. Bismarck and the rest of the Iron Blood Shipgirls and their Personnels who are currently here. Today is the day, we will show you, why did we call the Aircraft Carrier Diwata-Class Celestial Skyfortress.
The Iron Blood Shipgirls was confused, what is Secretary Accel trying to say about, why is the Aircraft Carrier called "Celestial Skyfortress"?
(CIC Officer to Officers of the 2nd Divisions Fleet)
CIC Officer (over the command channel): "All warship officers, this is CIC. Are all preparation ready?"
All Enlisted Ranks and Officers (over the command channel): "Yes, all preparation has completed."
CIC Officer (over the command channel): "Understood, I will relay the message to Secretary and Lieutenant Accel, over."
(CIC Officer to Secretary Accel)
CIC Officer (over the command channel): Secretary Accel, all preparations are ready. The connections have been established, and we await your command.
Secretary Accel (on individual frequency): Thank you, CIC Officer. All Iron Blood Shipgirls and their Personnels on the outside decks, hold on tight. Brace for the Celestial Skyfortress's activation.
Secretary Accel turned to face the Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews gathered on the Flight Deck. He raised his hand, and as he did, the strange mark that had appeared on the warships began to glow brighter. It radiated a powerful aura, and a low hum filled the air.
U-556: This is incredible! The entire fleet is glowing!
Z23: What's happening, Lieutenant Accel?
Secretary Accel: You're about to witness the true power of the Celestial Skyfortress. Brace yourselves!
As Secretary Accel gave the signal, the Celestial Skyfortress, along with the entire 2nd Division Sentinel Fleet, began to levitate. The warships rose gracefully into the air, defying gravity, and hovered above the ocean.
Bismarck: This... This is impossible!
Tirpitz: It's like we're witnessing magic.
Secretary Accel: You are. The Celestial Skyfortress harnesses a combination of advanced technology and magic to achieve this. It can not only float but also carry the entire fleet with it.
The Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews watched in awe as the massive warships floated in the sky, leaving no trace of water beneath them. They were suspended in mid-air, and the entire scene was nothing short of breathtaking.
Gneisenau: This is beyond anything we've ever seen.
Z35: The potential applications for this technology are astounding.
Secretary Accel: Indeed, the Celestial Skyfortress's ability to levitate allows for strategic flexibility, including navigating challenging terrains, avoiding obstacles, and accessing regions otherwise difficult to reach.
Prinz Eugen: It's a game-changer for naval operations.
As the fleet floated in the sky, Secretary Accel guided them to a vantage point where they could see the entire area between Mexico and Colombia, now accessible thanks to the Celestial Skyfortress's unique ability.
Secretary Accel: From here, we can bypass the geographical challenges and reach our destination more efficiently. The Celestial Skyfortress's levitation technology grants us unparalleled mobility and strategic advantage.
Bismarck: This is incredible, Secretary Accel. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Tirpitz: We have much to learn from your world's technology and magic.
Secretary Accel: You're welcome, Ms. Bismarck, Ms. Tirpitz. The Iron Blood Nation and the Celestial Citadel Empire have much to gain from our collaboration. Now, let's continue our journey to the destination.
With the Celestial Skyfortress leading the way, the 2nd Division Sentinel Fleet soared through the skies, leaving a trail of wonder and amazement in its wake. The Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews marveled at the possibilities unlocked by this extraordinary technology and magic combination.
As they approached the airspace near the country of Cuba, the Celestial Skyfortress began to descend, preparing to land safely. The fleet touched down gracefully, the warships returning to the surface of the ocean with a gentle splash.
Bismarck: We've reached our destination. That levitation technology is truly remarkable.
Tirpitz: It's going to change the way we approach naval operations.
Prinz Eugen: The possibilities are endless.
Secretary Accel turned to address the Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews.
Secretary Accel: I'm glad you found our technology intriguing. Now, I must attend to something important. I've detected a presence observing us. I need to investigate this matter.
Z35: Is something wrong, Lieutenant Accel?
Secretary Accel: I can't say for certain, but I sense that someone or something is watching us. I need to ensure our safety and find out what's going on. Don't worry; I'll catch up with the fleet soon.
With that, Secretary Accel leaped from the Flight Deck of the Celestial Skyfortress with incredible agility and strength. His departure caused a noticeable shift in the aircraft carrier's balance, surprising the Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews.
U-556: Did you see that? He's like a superhuman!
Z23: That power... it's astonishing.
Bismarck: Lieutenant Accel is full of surprises.
Secretary Accel landed on a nearby island with a powerful thud, leaving an impression in the ground. He quickly disappeared into the dense foliage, leaving the fleet behind as he pursued the source of the mysterious presence.
The Iron Blood Shipgirls and their crews exchanged glances, still in awe of what they had witnessed.
Tirpitz: We'll continue our journey for now. Lieutenant Accel can take care of himself.
Prinz Eugen: Let's make the most of this opportunity to explore and gather information.
The fleet resumed its course, sailing through the waters surrounding Cuba. The adventure had only just begun, and the mysteries of this new world were waiting to be unraveled.
