Chapter 2-1

We found land, It filled with green vegetations and tall trees. Because of the hungry and sudden change of events, we are too tired to move. However, I noticed that in the command center on the Battlecruiser and the surrounding was people staring at the land with mixed feeling as if they have been leaving the land for years. I also were the one who staring on the land with a smile, gripped the railing.

"Woah, it is really a land! Food!" Benstar were the one with loud voice ended him being reprimanded by Hatsuzuki.

"But are you sure it's not a mirage or illusion?" This word of Aldebaran was like a cold water pouring on us. Our expression stiffened, and we observed the land as our ships sailing straight toward it.

Suddenly an idea popped into my head. "Right, how about I launch a fighter squadron to check it if it really lands and how safe this land is?"

"Ooh, it's good idea commander!" Benstar who crouched in despair suddenly jumped with his eyes shining.

"Ah, I forget we have the Carrier on us." Aldebaran smiled wryly.

I smiled with a proud face and turned to Hosho. "We should go back and unlinked the bridge. Hosho, can you control the carrier to the front?"

"Yes!" Hosho bowed and we rushed back to the carrier. It sure is strange at first seeing we don't have someone piloting the ships, but Hosho here can control the ship with her mind! Amazing.

On the way to the carrier, I don't notice that Aldebaran approaching Benstar and speaking with a serious expression, 'We need to talk.'.

Sitting on the sofa, I oversee the communication crews doing their job. I turned my head to see the screen which now showing our front, the bridge which connected to Battlecruiser slowly unlinked and we moved toward the front.

"Hosho how is the plane squadron?" I asked the Hosho beside me, and she bowed.

"The preparation is ready, 4 fighter planes is on standby in the hangar. they would arrive at the flight deck right now. But..." Hosho showed a troubled expression and I frowned.

"What is it?"

Before Hosho can speak, a familiar voice resounded over the communication pipe.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

[Admiral, our squadron already on the flight deck! We are ready to take off.]

Hearing it I opened my mouth wide and slowly turned toward Hosho with expression, 'What the meaning of this?'

"Erm, well... Hibiki-san was attacked by the other pilot crews, right? Somehow they feeling bad at her and decided to turn her to be the Platoon leader..."

I facepalmed and blow a tired sigh, slowly I turn to the communication pipe. "Alright, Platoon leader Hibiki. I permit you to take off. Keep your squadron standby above the island and don't shoot without my order."

[Roger! First fighter squad, take off!] With Hibiki shout I could hear a noisy voice of plane engines started as it moves through the flight deck. It followed by the other 3 and they flying in a circle above us before flying straight toward the island, with Hibiki planes on the lead, they are flying on the side to side.

「Benstar: Woah, It was cool when we saw the game... but seeing the plane take off in real is awesome! ( *^⍢^*)/」

「Aldebaran: 4 Fighter planes? this was usually used as a scout, but now I think it can also be used to attack the ground unit. Nice Commander!」

Chat windows appearing in my vision and I grinned at them, it shame though that I cannot see the take off myself as the screen only showed the planes already flying high. *tears

"Admiral, the fighter squadron should arrive in any minute." Hosho stern voice called me back and I nodded at her.

"Yeah, now how do we  contact them?"

Hosho showed a smile and speak in a gentle voice. "Admiral we can contact the from the air operations control center, however, does Admiral can see it with your own eyes, right?"

'See?' Ah, right! the eagle eyes system! I almost forget about it. I calmed my heart and closed my eyes, I don't actually know what to do, but I tried to imagine myself to be the planes. Then I can feel my consciousness flying and when I open my eyes, what I can see is the vast sea as I moved in fast speed.

Looking around I noticed that I feel like moving a camera which planted on the planes and sighed in awe. It feels like the actual Virtual Reality. Then my vision shifted upward and I saw the island.

It's true island! Below, I noticed a fruit like a thing and a herbivore creatures which looking at us in wonder. When the planes flying above them, the loud engines scares them as they scattered to find a shelter. The squadron started to spread to check the island in full detail and between my consciousness, I can see a mental map formed. It's convenient, we need to check this features later.

[Ah, Platoon leader to Main Carrier. I found something big, and need assistance. Over.]

With a ping, Hibiki voice resounded but currently, my consciousness was attached on her planes so I also can see what she saw.

I pulled back my mind I arrive back on my body.

"What do we do, Admiral?" Hosho concern voice calmed my heart. A Beautiful voice is good for the heart, whatever their expression is! *Cough

"Tell them to fly back! Return to the Carrier immediately!" I shouted the order as I stand from sitting position. Hosho beside me nodded her head and approached Akiyama who is nearby. I passed them and arrived the front windows which showing the island.

「Benstar: Commander, what is going on? why did the planes flying back? O.o)/」

「Aldebaran: This formation is to land in, did you found something?」

The next chat windows appeared and I gulped, My body is shaking, but my eyes shined because of excitement!

There, on the corner of the island... I- no, we found a ship other than us! A metal ship!
