Chapter 5-9
Taylor was standing in the water of the Bay. The sun had set yet the sky was bright. The flames danced in the distance reflecting off of water below. As a black liquid was floating in the crimson bay.
The dull echoing ring of the end bringer siren was echoing about in the city.
The city was in flames, flying sacks of hydrogen were burning in the sky like the sun and the tracer rounds like shooting stars flitting across the glowing sky. The roar of plane engines in the background.
"How in the hell did this happen?" Taylor asks, the Fletcher class's 5in gun opens fire into the water below, igniting the oil slick.
The Bay goes up in flames.

40 Minutes earlier.
Georgia was talking among the guests in the ballroom. The fact that Legend and Alexandria were there was icing on the cake. Sadly Eidolon couldn't make it. Though Texas somehow made it and bought one of her long term volunteers with her David something or another.
"I must say this is one amazing way to open a museum. I especially enjoyed meeting Prinz Eugen." Maxwell Anders says
"What does the Ritter think of the banquet?" Georgia asks with a smile.
"You know I heard from one of my employees that you were german." Max says
"ich wundere mich warum?" Georgia asks rhetorically.
"Was hältst du von der großen deutschen Community hier?" Max asks
"I think that they are idiots for following that monster's ideology." Georgia answers
"Was wäre nötig, um Sie von unserer Sache zu überzeugen?" Maxwell asks
"Nothing could do that." Georgia states flatly.
"I think it would be best if you reconsider your options." Max says with a slight bow before leaving the ship girl.
"That would never happen!" Georgia
Suddenly the ring of something hitting the bullet proof glass above echoes throughout the Ballroom.
The occupants look up to see the monstrous robotic dog staring down at them through the glass. A second later there is a loud scream followed by pure genuine panic.
"DO NOT FIRE INSIDE!" Georgia shouts.
Several of the ship girls are suddenly running towards the doors with massive smiles on their faces.
======================================================================
On the Bridge of Enterprise CVN-65
"Captian… do you see those rigid body airships or is it just me?"
"No, I see them as well… Maybe they're friendly?"
"True it could be some sort of tinker thing. Where is that Cape nerd when you need him?"
"Ethan passed away sir. We all miss him, we couldn't have had a better nuclear engineer."
The captain nods remembering the guy with a golden personality.
"Captain, the blimps aren't answering our radio calls."
"Well, that's our air space boys, blow them out of the sky." The captain says
The carrier escorts anchored in the bay start to blare an alarm as general quarters is called.
Suddenly a voice over the radio "SM-1 away!"
The first of the thirteen rigid-body airships goes up in flames.
"This is FFG-58 Engaging the enemy. The 76mm autocannon suddenly opens fire into the clouds above using HE tracer rounds.
The second zeppelin goes up into flames and dozens of figures are seen jumping out of it.
Suddenly traces from 20mm Oerlikon and 40mm Bofors light up the sky. Tearing into the airships and shadowy figures.
"DON'T SHOOT THE PARACHUTERS THAT'S A WAR CRIME!!" Georgia's voice shouts over all of the radio channels.
The firing rate of the 40 and 20mm rounds slowed down slightly however those in free fall and those still flying in the air are lit up.
"Captain… Can we launch the F-18s?"
"One," The captain of the Enterprise responds.
"One Squadron okay sir!"
Looking into the sky there were dozens of F4F's, F6F's, SBD's and F8F's buzzing around in the sky above. Though not much could be seen due to the night sky above.
======================================================================
Gunther Wagner, also known as The Human Panzer or Sturmtiger, was one of the first of many Gesellschaft capes to drop into Brockton. The city already had the support base known as the Empire 88 and would fall easily within a night. Deutschland was getting too hostile and the faction known as Millennium managed to get themselves kicked out of Argentina a few years ago.
This action was just to let the Amerikas know they are here to stay.
Sturmtiger didn't expect the grand zeppelin to go up in flames behind him shortly after he jumped out. Nor did they expect this much resistance during the surprise attack.
The Human Panzer had taken an anti air round to the chest. The bullet had flattened and it bruised him however. The Brute was scarred from all sorts of wounds some from torture to induce his trigger and some from some really gruesome fights.
"Scheiße, I have no clue where I am." Gunther says looking up at the burning hulk of an airship as it slowly descended as the flames spread from metal hydrogen bag to hydrogen bag. The armored Zeppelins mark 4 were nothing like the Hindenburg and would not instantly plummet from the sky upon the first few shots.
The metal Hunds had been dropped in en-mass and were overwhelming the local police forces. Though the gangs were putting up a rather impressive fight.
