A second later the first one to appear did so her green hair fit surprisingly well.

Not what Georgia imagined she would look like however Swayback would probably do something to help.

"Did someone call for a treaty cruiser!" Salt Lake City announces

"No, I think they called for a newer one." Atlanta says purposely setting up Salt Lake for a come back.

"Hey now, youth and exuberance is no match for old age and treachery." Salt lake responds

It almost seemed rehearsed. It probably was…

"Miss I tanked two nukes, you can brag about it after we fight an enemy of humanity." Georgia shouts

"Wait, we are still fighting nazis?" Atlanta asks

"It's not a nazi," Georgia says as the building behind the two shipgirls collapses to show the Simurgh in her full glory.

The two turn around the endbringer poised to strike them down. They answered with nonstop cannon fire. The Smurf was pinned under the constant barrage. The two never slowed down with georgia throwing in a shell every now and then for good measure until a F4F wildcat strafes it with rockets another one hitting it with a depth charge.

The endbringer looks up in anger only to take a full spread of torpedoes to the back. Of which only about half detonated. The package was delivered curtesy of a now hidden USS Archerfish.

"The Cavalry has arrived!" Independence announces holding her bow leveled at the false angel.

Uss Knight, Uss Abercrombi, and USS John C Butler in formation around their carrier.

Simmy looks at Georgia who smiles triumphantly. The endbringer decides to cut her losses and took off to the sky. Being harassed all the way up till the max height of the fighters Enterprise and Independence could muster.

The capital city of Australia seemed like a total loss. While in truth the casualty count was only in the triple digits.

According to the thinkers, half of which are catatonic all agreed that the endbringer didn't manage to get enough of its song off to affect anyone for more than 3 weeks.

Though the main concern on everyone's minds was the capes that forced ziz back to space. Who were they, what did they want, and where are they now?

"So be my guest you've got nothing to lose! Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise." Georgia sings along

The shipgirls are heading northeast aiming for a few islands before hitting Pearl.

Salt Lake City coughs.

"Yes?" Georgia asks

Enterprise glances at the battleship.

"Right, we are approaching it aren't we," Georgia says her voice wavering slightly.

Atlanta nods.

"So, that's your mom down there?" Georgia asks looking at CL-104. Knowing Alanta CL-51 lay at the bottom of iron bottom sound.

"Mine too." Gregory says

Georgia sees flashes of a 4 stack Wickes class destroyer DD-82.

"We all lost friends and family there," Enterprise says

"Do you have the wreath?" Independence asks

Georgia nods pulling the wreath out of her storage space.

"According to sonar, it's clear." Archerfish says surfacing.

"You should know the war has been over for years." Enterprise says.

"I was checking for mines." Archerfish says

"We are still about 3 hours from the Solomon Islands at the current speed. Were you checking for mines?" Georgia asks

"It's a habit." Archerfish says

"Now that we helped you won't get rid of us right?" Salt Lake asks.

Georgia responds by hugging the shorter ship girl.

"No, I would never do that to you. In fact, I still have your steel hull. When we aren't helping fight evil. I was hoping to run a museum. Like how Missouri, New Jersey, and York town retired to do. You could do that too. I'll manage the financial stuff you just focus on telling the stories of yourself and your crew." Georgia says

"T-thank you… I was worried I was gonna become bomb practice again." Salt Lake says shakily.

"I would never do that to my family." Georgia says

"I have a question." Independence asks

"Go ahead." Georgia says

"How do we resupply ourselves? My crew is wondering." Independence says

"You do so by eating like a human. Or you could take the supplies and absorb it in a weird way. At the moment I have a significant surplus of oil. So we should be good till we get to Pearl." Georgia says

Independence nods while the other girls look to be contemplating the fact they were now semi human.

"Yes, Georgia is telling the truth there. We can resupply by eating human food and the amount that needs to be eaten depends on your resource consumption. You'll find yourself needing the calories for around 10-12 men a day. Luckily there are plenty of high calorie meals out there." Enterprise says

"When did you get time to research that?" Georgia asks

"My medical officer did." Enterprise says

"You have a medical officer? Most of my crew is shipwrites and builders while my gunners and officers seem to have been a generation of Jersey's." Georgia says

"You could design retrofits then?" Atlanta asks

"I already have, it's just a matter of resources." Georgia admits

Atlanta nods.

"Say Swayback, could you tell me a story?" Georgia asks as they continue to Iron bottom sound to pay their respects.

"Say, enterprise remember when the war started?" Salt Lake says

"Yes, I do actually weren't you escorting me back to pearl?" Enterprise asks

"I was also with you and Hornet during the Dolittle raid." Salt lake says with a smirk.

"Well once upon a time during the Solomon Island campaign, October 11 1942, I was out and about with Boise Helena and Sanfransico. Well at the start of the action I launched my scout aircraft which immediately caught fire and crashed into the ocean on launch. The Japanese saw this and thought it was a flare… So they started trying to signal us with lights." Salt Lake says

Georgia is speechless and several of the other ships are now captured by the story.

"They had given us their position and who they were you know. We also had them on radar so we moved to cross their T like the old age of sail tactic. Helena asked for permission to act. When the rear admiral responded with roger, we all opened fire in a battleline." Salt Lake says smiling.

"Wait, Sanfransico didn't have that good of a radar in October of 1942." Georgia interjects

"You're right she didn't apparently the rear admiral jumped in surprise when we started firing because he had no clue what was going on in the dark. I mean who just says roger when someone asks for permission to act?" Salt Lake City says laughing.

"How did your scout planes burst into flames on launch?" Enterprise asks

"I don't know? I'm not a carrier or a Cleveland class," Salt Lake says.
