The Four Guardians of Kusari - Mr.Fabulous - 08-17-2018 FEEDBACK THREAD! Suzuran Koba Personal Log #825-0817-144236 Wrote:It's been one hundred and fourteen days since Koba battlegroup mobilized in orbit of Planet Tomioka, Nagano system to assist the Matsumoto battlegroup against the growing Blood Dragon threat. The attacks have slightly abated since twenty-five days since this log entry, but they're still quite present. Suzuka Koba Personal Log #825-0817-154333 Wrote:... UGH! I can't believe Suzuran-chan actually made bento for me! The nerve of him, to still treat me like I still can't handle myself! ME! The tigress of Koba battlegroup! Hmph!

What an unproductive day. RE: The Four Guardians of Kusari - Mr.Fabulous - 08-19-2018 ::: Yokohama Shipyard, New Tokyo System 825 A.S., August 19, 14:30 SMT ::: ![]() "NO! Onii-chan needs to stay with Sukaku-chan!" "What?! But I'm Jyunshou of Koba Battlegroup!" "Which makes it all the more important that Onii-chan remains behind, while I bring the Kobakage to Sigma-21 to fight the Rheinlanders!" The tigress of Koba Battlegroup, Suzuka Koba, stamps down her foot! "But I must see to the war myself! It's imperative that I lead to make sure the skirmishes will go much more smoothly!" The dragon of Koba Battlegroup, Suzuran Koba, stamps his foot down too! "Onii-chan can oversee the Kobakage from the safety of Kobayashi 3's bridge! There's no reason for Jyunshou to face danger haphazardly!" "But I-- But it is--" "Eeeehhh...." Both Suzuran and Suzuka glare at the turtle of Koba Battlegroup, Sukaku Koba, a bead of sweat dripping down her forehead at being unable to further interject. Suzuka fixes her officer's garb and says, "Look... It isn't Koba Battlegroup's place to be involved in this developing war, Onii-chan! Our place is in avenging our father's honor at the hands of the Blood Dragons! And to do that, Jyunshou-sama must remain focused against them. Let Imouto-chan handle this diversion with the foolish Rheinlanders." "We both know the tides of fortune have been growing more and more in favor of the Rheinlanders, what with their ever-increasing attacks, Imouto-chan. There's a huge risk this border skirmish is growing into something more serious. It's imperative that I see to the reinforcement of Sigma-21 personally." "Onii-chan can personally see to the reinforcement of Sigma-21 after today's expected wave of Rheinlanders. Onii-chan has to--" ... Her fist clenches before continuing. "Onii-chan... has to stay behind and maintain leadership over Sukaku-chan and Sumiku-chan." "Why can't Imouto-chan do that? After all, it is my responsibility to--" "PLEASE...!" ... A heavy, lingering atmosphere hangs in the hallways of Yokohama Shipyard. An audible swallowing of one's throat eventually breaks the silence. "Please... Trust your Imouto-chan with this... Let me have this honor... this responsibility to fight the Rheinlanders in Koba Battlegroup's stead." "Im... Imouto-chan..." The eldest sibling looks hurtfully at his younger sister. The latter lowers her head, her bangs shrouding her eyes from him. "... Fine. I'll stay. Just... bring the Kobakage back in one piece, hai?" "H... H-Hai..." The eldest of the triplets shuffles to her older brother, burying her face in his shoulder. With a slowly-let-out sigh, he wraps his arms around her in a gentle hug that soon tightens into a full embrace. The middle sibling also joins in the hug, sighing to herself. "There there, Suzuka-san...! I'm sure you'll do great, Onee-san, kicking those kame back to their kame lands." RE: The Four Guardians of Kusari - Mr.Fabulous - 08-22-2018 ::: IKN.CC-Kobayashi.3, in-orbit above Planet Tomioka, Nagano System 825 A.S., 21 August, 19:35:29 SMT ::: ![]() "... I knew it..." Before the glaring eyes of Jyunshou Suzuran knelt his younger sibling, Daisa Suzuka, her knees touching the cold, metal plating of Battleship Hyono's floor instead of her own. Head bent low with hair messed up, hands placed squarely on her lap, she sits in seiza towards the camera on the opposite side of the monitor, her golden officer uniform slightly charred and dusty with smoke. "So... Hyono Battlegroup informed me that the Kobakage was lost as it was docking into Hyono..." The sibling says nothing... "... as it was docking into Hyono... Really??? Really...?" The Jyunshou rubs his aching temples with evident frustration. She dared not to raise her head... dared not look at him directly. "Hell, even the traffic control alert was there in Hyono's logs...! How the hell could you muck up something as simple as quick-docking into a battleship?!" She flinches to the side. His word cuts her deeply. Her noble kusarian pride bleeds onto the unforgiving metal. "G... Gomenasai..." With shakey voice, she speaks out. He looks at her with raised eyebrow, his arms folding together in displeasure. "That's all you have to say, Imouto-chan...? After having lost us the Koba Battlegroup's flagship, all you have to say is gomenasai??? I told you I should've been there to help oversee the Rheinland warfront! I thought you wanted to prove yourself! "But now here you are, with your tail between your legs and without a capital ship to your name! What else do you have to say about yourself?!" "M... M-Moushi wake arimasen deshita... O-Onii-sama..." Heavy tears well up in the Daisa's eyes as she humbles herself before him. Her burning forehead touches the cold, metal floor... "I have brought... great shame to the Koba Battlegroup, for having lost our flagship to such ridiculous circumstances. "I am... unworthy to lead... I should've listened to you, Onii-chan... B-Bushido dictates that my rank be stripped from me for causing such great military loss to Koba Battlegroup. I am unworthy to remain the Kobakage's Daisa..." A fist clenches tightly on the other side of the monitor. "Kusari is right... Women weren't meant to lead... I... I am unworthy of leading, of being Kobakage's Daisa. Moushi wake arimasen deshita, I--" "BAKA NE!" ... The following silence weighs heavily on her. He lets out a long sigh, and berates, "Look. The report says everyone aboard the Kobakage made it safely to their escape pods and lifeboats, so we've in fact received no fatalities. Also, you were actually close enough to the Hyono that its shield arrays were able to maintain most of the Kobakage's superstructure, even with the reactor meltdown, meaning it's mostly still in one piece. That means it's still repairable, if not without significant cost on Koba Battlegroup's part. "Anyway, aside from not having quick-docked fast enough, there wasn't much two Tokugawa-class battleships and a random dragon bomber could do against a full Maltese invasion force. Plus, you also got intercepted around ten clicks from Hyono, but you still managed to reach the battleship, if not successfully quick-dock into it. "All in all, I'd say the escape was... sort of a success, while also being a failure at the same time? Point is, while it's still not going to be cheap, it's not gonna be as expensive either as getting another battleship for Koba Battlegroup." "... Y... Y-You mean...?" "No, you baka, of course you're not getting demoted... Unless you lose the Kobakage a second time in less than a month, then maybe I'll consider demoting you back to Daii. "Now pick your sorry, shameful arse off your knees and begin cooperating with the Samuran repair teams to tow the Kobakage back to Kure Shipyard. It's disgusting to see the tigress of Koba Battlegroup groveling in front of me like this..." "H... H-Hai!" She quickly rises and throws a salute to her Jyunshou, before jogging away to follow through with her orders. He lets out another sigh before turning to the daisa beside him. "... Ahya... You think I should've demoted her, Sukaku-chan?" "Ehhhhh..." The Daisa of Kobayashi.3 adjusts her spectacles sheepishly. "I don't think her prideful heart could take such a blow to her ego. She looked like she was ready to commit seppuku at any moment! I'm just happy Onii-chan gave Imouto-san another chance." "And besides..." The oldest sibling looks on as Suzuka almost stumbles her way out of the debriefing room. "This is only Suzuka's third major engagement commanding the Kobakage. I figured she needed the wake-up call to realize she isn't invincible behind the walls of a battleship." "Jyunshou-chan is most generous to Suzuka-san... Why do I feel like Jyunshou-chan's showing favorites within Koba Battlegroup?" She nudges an elbow into Suzuran's side with a playful smirk. "Wha-- S-Shut up! You and your lewd shipping fantasies! Get back to your post before the holotainment hentai rots your brain!" The turtle of Koba Battlegroup only giggles in response as she walks out of the battlecruiser's debriefing room, leaving Suzuran to himself and his thoughts... |
