Potomac River, Washington D.C
At the Potomac River where St. Louis, Helena and Honolulu is at. As the three provided the advancing Army reinforcements with off-shore naval bombardment from the river, as the platoon of Union Troops rushes in at the checkpoint of a single bridge connecting the State of Virginia and D.C.
Currently at the bridge, a tense stand-off instigated between the Saunders Tank Platoon of Pershings, and Siren Tanks with its RGBT lighting ensues.
Back at the three. As St. Louis, Helena and Honolulu bombarded the Siren lines with their 6-inch/47cal. Mk-16 armed with 6-inch HE Shells. Union Troops rush in as the relentless bombardment coming from the Shipgirls keeps the heads of the Siren Minion ducked down.
Union Troops even though lacking with armor cover and support took the opportunity to rushed in the Siren Minion defensive lines, guns blazing. Hyped by the adrenaline rush to their blood, they charge at the line like bunch of savage dogs.
"The Siren lines are collapsing, keep firing." St. Louis orders another Naval Bombardment at the collapsing Siren defensive lines.
Both Helena and Honolulu opens fire with 6-inch/47cal. Mk-16 armed with 6-inch HE Shells.
"I don't want to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A voice of the damned echoed above them in a high-pitching noise sounded that attracted everyone's attention from below.
"Huh? What???" Honolulu exclaimed in surprise as she looked up in the sky above and saw three people falling at the sky, right above them.
"Who's that?" Helena asked, as she noticed some familiarity amongst the three.
"Incoming!" St. Louis warned the two about the water splashes that is about to come.
The three that were thought to be falling out of the sky glow in bluish hue, as Rigging of unfamiliarity form at their sights materialized around the three with angular edges before making a watery splash that soaked them. St. Louis, Helena and Honolulu who was wet once and twice, and now thrice.
"I'M SOAKED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Honolulu frustratingly cried-out.
Cleveland-31, Canberra and Anchorage both landed at their feet or Rigging as they float at the River, thankfully they were not sinking from that fall.
"My knees! My knee!" Cleveland-31 cried-out as the landing gives him some strains at his knees.
Honolulu frustrated as she got wet for the third time with river water, she blindly grabbed the nearest one of them, and quickly let out her frustration and blabbers nonstop like your typical Tsundere spouting nonsense at the MCs face.
"Do you have any idea how frustrating for me to dry-up my clothes, and now I'm soaked with river waters and I'm stinking like a goddamn river itself! Do you have anything to say about it!"
She frustratingly fumed her anger, as she didn't see the face of the person she was venting her fumes with. At last, that person spoke.
"Umm.... Your saliva is all over my face." Cleveland-31 said after getting his ass chewed by Honolulu.
Honolulu, St. Louis and of course, Helena of all girls is surprised to see him.
"Cleveland?" Helena said in surprise.
"Yes, that's my nameeeee......."
Cleveland-31 stumbles with words in front of her, as dazes in a daydream.
[ (I Just) Died in your Arms Tonight - The Lego Batman Movie ] by quantum hoe
"You alright mate?" Canberra asked the dazing Cleveland.
Cleveland-31 felt a tap on his shoulder, broke-off from his daydream and quickly regained his senses like nothing happened.
"Ye-Yes, I'm alright, I'm alright. Actually what happened?"
"You're drawling like an idiot a moment ago." Canberra said in a tease while poking his cheeks that are now red from embarrassment.
"Did I really?"
"Yeah, a moment ago." St. Louis said, as she's not bothered of Cleveland's new appearance.
"Umm.... Who are you people." He asked for their identity while he was still being held by Honolulu.
But before everyone could answer, an animalistic chant sounded from behind, followed by an automatic fire and whizzing missiles here and there, followed by an explosions and clacking metallic sounds.
"Orahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Anchorage let-out an automatic fire from her SIG Sauer MG-338 at the Siren Minions along with her RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile and MK-46 30mm Gun Weapon System (GWS).
Anchorage goes on full Rambo with her SIG Sauer MG-338, as she unleashes lead in equivalent into an amount of mortgage payment.
The Rigging Well-Deck positioned at the back opens its rear ramp door for the 2 LCAC carrying the Armored Track Vehicles stowed inside the Ship as part of Marine Expeditionary Force, hovers out of the Well-Deck.
LCACs landed offshore and delivered its package that weighed 65 tons of Freedom and was powered by Democracy. 1 M1A3 Abrams Tank rolled-off each LCACs as to provide the Heavy Armor that the Union Troops fighting the Sirens needed.
( IMAGE )
ACVs came into shore and assisted the two Abrams Tank as to provide cover at its flank with their 30mm Auto Cannon Mounted Turret.
Union Troops renewed their vigor as Heavy Armor and Fire Power come into their aid as to push the Sirens further
Soon after all the Heavy Armor and Contingent of Manjuu Marine Expeditionary Force disembarking at the rear of the ACVs and MV-22 Ospreys. Anchorage joins-inland as to provide machine-gun fire with her SIG Sauer MG-338.
30mm Cannon fire sounded in a burst of fire as to pin down and eliminate some of Siren's Anti-Armors hiding among the rubbles and bushes.
And the 20mm Smooth Bore Cannon of M1A3 Abrams sounded like thunder as SABOOT Round traveled through the air and it pierced the defense of the Siren Tank like hot-knife through butter at the Siren Tank's Force Filed (Not as strong as the Executor Class, but strong enough to block a AP Round fired from a Tank).
Seconds pass and the whole Tank explodes from the ammunition cook-off. The turret flew off several meters high over its dammed hull.
6 seconds passed, and another shot is fired by the 2 Abrams in a quick and accurate fire that left everyone in shock as there were now dozens of destroyed Siren Tanks littering the area, as the Steel Monster of Tank, the M1A3 Abrams rolled-in and squashed the Siren Forces on the ground with its Coaxial Gun and mounted 30mm Chain-Gun at the roof.
At the main-gun sight of the Pershing Tank, Naomi the Gunner watches the Siren Tanks fall one by one by the 2 Tanks, that came to the rescue.
"Whoa, that's one hell of a tank." She said in amazement of the smooth execution of the Siren Tanks blocking their path.
"Yeah, looks like those tanks didn't even break a sweat in dismantling the Siren Tanks." Lt. Kay said, as she poked her head at the Commander's Tank Cupola.
"Although, that Tank seems to resemble the 'Bookers' from its angular surface and the quick fire."
"Did you see that attack? It didn't even break a sweat in destroying one of the Siren Tanks, how incredible!" Helmet-Chan the Driver said as she watched at her Driver's Periscope.
"Hey! What's going-on? What is happening out there?" Felecia the Loader asks, as she didn't see any of the action outside.
"Oh, shit! Reload, reload!" Lt. Kay orders as one of the Siren Tanks turns its turret at their Tank.
Felecia quickly loaded the gun with AP Round for engaging Armor enemies. The Round is shoved at the cannon with a ramming fist, and closes the breaching charge of the Cannon.
"Armed and ready!" She noticed everyone about the cannon was armed.
"Fire!"
The Led Pershing Tank shook from the recoil of firing the 90mm Gun of the Tank. The round flew in a straight line and hit the turret ring making the Siren Tank unable to turn its turret.
"Reload!"
Another round is loaded as to finish the Siren Tank completely; the M26 Pershing Tank once again shakes as it fires another round at the disabled Siren Tank. This time the round manages to punch through the armor as the hole it makes glows red from the penetration.
Second, passed ant the whole Siren Tank ifs engulfed in a fiery explosion that blew its turret up, in several meters high.
At the Tank's Periscope, each Crew of each tank, except the gunner watches a duel between an M1A3 Abrams Tank and Siren Tank engaging in an urban warfare-like bunch of 'World of Tank Players'.
The Battle that encores between the two different Tanks of each entity and breed, is not that even fair as the two were both born in different eras and with warfare in mind.
Siren Tanks is born at the need of Armor, as the Siren watches the Human Weapons Development and advances. And Armored Vehicles are needed to accompany and protect the Siren Minions on the ground as the Humanoid Sirens as such as Executor-Class and Enforcer-Class are left to engage the Shipgirls and Modern Kansens.
M1A3 Abrams was born at the proven Tank design of the Abrams Family of Tanks from M1, M1A1 to M1A2 and its predecessor M1A2 SepV-3. The M1A3 Abrams was born at the needs of the US Army for efficient Armored Vehicles that packed a punch, and had an advantage in a Modern Warfare. New Armor Composition, New Electronics, New Main Gun and New Hybrid Engine that run more efficiently than the previous Gas-Turbine Engine.
The battle between the two Tanks is not that even though the two have different task and purposes in mind. Siren Tanks were pushed back out of the bridge as the once 23rd St. Ave that is filled with cars and walking pedestrians is now a 'Tank on Tank battlefield'.
The tracks of each tank rolled-over at the abandoned 1940s Ford and Chevy Cars. One of the Cars is flattened at the tracks of the Abrams as it advances through the 23rd St. Ave. The roar of thunder rang-out in the streets as the two Tanks exchanged blows at each other.
Shells that were fired from the Plasma Cannon at the Siren Tank ricochet at the slope armor. The Abram's Turret Armor which is made in Composite Armor backed-up by Depleted Uranium had a dent, but not pierced.
The Abrams Tank didn't shy of returning fire, and blew one of the Siren Tanks out of existence as the turret flew-off like rocket science.
Above the battlefield, Reconnaissance Drones loitered around as it fed information at the two Abrams Tanks below that is engaging the Siren Tanks.
The Siren Tanks were pushed even further as the two Abrams Tanks pushed forward, and failed to mount a surprise attack as their plan is exposed from the loitering Reconnaissance Drones above.
Siren Minions tries to mount an ambush with an anti-tank plasma cannon at the advancing Abrams, but to their dismay. The loitering drones and Infrared Cameras mounted at the Tank saw them first.
To their surprise, the 30mm Chain Gun Turret Mount swiveled at their direction and fired a burst as to eliminate the Anti-Tank Ambushes.
Each fire coming-out from the 20mm Smooth Bore Cannon from the Abrams Tank corresponds to each Siren Tank being destroyed.
The cacophony of Machine-Gun fire and 30mm Chain-Guns fire sounded as Siren Minions fell down from the burst of fire with a 90% accuracy hit rate.
The Platoon of M26 Pershing from Saunders Company rushed in to support the Abrams Tanks and ACVs that is currently pushing the Sirens out in the open.
M1A3 Abrams, M26 Pershing and ACVs with 30mm Gun-Mount push the Siren Forces along with its Armor support were all destroyed and eliminated as the Union Forces grow stronger, as reinforcements rushes-in at the recapture of the Capital.
Potomac River
"Umm.... Can you please let go of me now, this is kinda embarrassing?" Cleveland-31 said, while still being held at the shirt by Honolulu.
Honolulu just notices her errors, drops him off and proceeds to cross her arms and gives him a glare that is synonymous with all Tsunderes.
Cleveland-31 off with the grip, drops into his ass at the water with a splash. "Geeezzzz... you could be careful in the future of dropping someone off like that."
Honolulu only answers in what we called tsundere 'response' or 'noises'.
"Wow mate, sure the ladies here didn't like your presence." Canberra said.
Cleveland-31 got up. "Yeah, I know, I know...." He then turns his attention to the three. "So.... who were you three then?"
"My~My.... You're quite different than the 'Cleveland' I knew of, she's more of an energetic than you." St. Louis said, with some intentions in mind.
Cleveland-31 raised a palm. "Wait, you said she? Does that mean my counterpart is a woman?" He inquired, as he is now curious about his counterpart's appearance.
"She's more looks like you with some little differences like your voice and stature, although she's in the tomboyish side. But all in all, you two were like twins."
"GAHH!" Canberra quickly barged-in as she shoved Cleveland's face away.
"Does she has big boobs?" She quickly asks, as she doesn't want to not let Cleveland-31 stop her from asking the dumb question.
St. Louis along with Honolulu and Helena were surprised at the weird Aussie antics that is in front of them.
"Let's just say average..." St. Louis said, not sure about the answer she said.
"Average? That's quite disappointing... right mate?" Canberra then turned her attention at him.
Cleveland-31 removes her hand that is shoving-off his face. "I am not that interested in knowing sensitive stuff like that."
"Liar!" Honolulu shouted.
Canberra and Cleveland-31 both quickly turn their heads at the red-headed tsundere.
"You're face says it all." She said, while pointing at his reddish face.
Cleveland-31 overwhelmed with Honolulu's banter, gave in. "Alright, Alright. Okay, I'm curious to know. Is it bad for me to know something about my counterpart?!"
Cleveland-31 is now red for saying the truth in front of the girls (he's the only man there). It is quite weird for him to ask about his counterpart, especially if it's a woman.
Helena the ever cinnamon she is, helps Cleveland-31 with his predicament situation. "Umm.... I can tell you anything about her." she said blushing a bit.
Cleveland-31 is shy about her help. "Umm.... Sure... thank you." He said, as he avoided eye contact with her.
Canberra beside him, notices something off about Cleveland-31's odd behavior in front of Helena. Then a mischievous thought formed inside her head as she smug like an Aussie.
Cleveland-31 noticed the smug face plastered at her face like a mischievous evil grinning at its victim. He slowly shook his head, giving her the message to shut her mouth and not to spout it.
"Don't you dare. ....." He muttered.
Canberra nods slowly. "Yes, I would."
As the tension looks awkward as the three Shipgirls look at the two giving each other a glare, the radio at Cleveland's vest attached to the left chest, crackles.
"Cleveland, Canberra. Where the f*ck are the two of you? Theodore orders us to rendezvous at the White House." Anchorage radioed.
Cleveland-31 quickly responds on the radio to divert the awkward situation away. "Copy that, this is Cleveland I heard you loud and clear---"
"Get your butts here, NOW!!!" The Radio barked once more.
The two winced in surprise as the barking voice ripping their eardrums, even though the radio is far away from their ears.

Lincoln Memorial Park
Right next to the Memorial itself, the Park is filled with burnt and burning trees that may the result of the battle of retaking Washington D.C. that ensues. The grass and soil were all charred and covered with crater holes from the bombs and shells that exploded.
Further along, wreckage from Union Aircraft and Siren Planes along with some husk of Pershing Tanks, M4 Shermans and Siren Tanks. The rest are all burning 1940s Civilians Cars and dead bodies, lots of dead bodies ranging from Civilians that just doing their daily lives, Soldiers who fought defending D.C. And Sirens that is trying to capture the Capital.
All in all, the whole of Washington D.C. looks straight out from the Apocalyptic Movies and Video Games such as 'Call of Duty Modern Warfare' in comparison to the sheer destruction and death toll.
Both Cleveland-31 and Canberra were gawked at the scenery they saw, the difference between viewing the destruction from above is different than seeing it at the ground. The scope the destruction reminds them of 'Call of Duty'.
"It's all Call of Duty once again." Canberra said, as she eyed the devastation.
"Yeah, instead of Russians we got these." Cleveland-31 said while kicking one of the corpses of the Siren Minions that littered the walkways.
"Yeah, me too. I can't believe you guys fighting this enemy that only wears tight latex shirts." Canberra said, she noticed the Siren clothes that it wore.
'Yeah, I've also noticed that, Is there any explanation to that?" Cleveland-31 asked.
"Umm.... I don't know. We kinda forgot why because were all too busy fighting them and forgot to ask the question of why they were all wearing such revealing clothes." Helena answers, like a tour guide for the two.
"Alright, enough questioning. Let's head to the White House." Honolulu rudely said, as she was irritated at the nonstop questioning of the two.
Cleveland-31 and Canberra both nodded with each other, as they both followed the three as it walked at the path to the White House.
As they all walk at the Streets of D.C. Cleveland-31 seizes the moment to have a conversation with Helena about his counterpart.
"Umm, Hey, Helena?" He began.
"Yes?"
"Do you know anything about my counterpart that should I know before I conduct a conversation with her? I just don't want to make a misunderstanding that could to some situation that might seem awkward for her and I."
Helena let out a chuckle, as she reminded him of Cruiser Cleveland of its own insecurity and all. "You were just like her being insecure with all the things."
"So.... there's nothing to worry about?"
"Well... there's few, but I think those were the small things that she wouldn't care about."
"Like what?"
"Well she's often mistaken for a boy because of how she carries herself and dresses, sometimes she dresses herself, she always chose some of the men's shirts."
"What about Sports, what sport does she like?"
Helena ponders. "Well, she plays Basketball with the Girls and some of the Base-Staff most of them were men."
Cleveland-31 nods as he understands some of the tomboyish parts of his counterpart. 'So that's the sport she plays often then?' He thought.
"Is that all?"
"Well I didn't know the rest of the Sports she likes, so... yeah."
Cleveland-31 didn't probe even deeper as he noticed some concern at Helena's face regarding the topic of Cruiser Cleveland. He didn't know what it is, but his certain the she was worrying about the health of his counterpart.
*On your left*
A whispering voice sounded at Cleveland-31's ear like a warning. Cleveland-31 quickly turned his attention to his left and saw some of the hiding Siren Minions in the rubble of the once a Store Building.
"Get down!"
And with the quick reaction, he quickly pushed Helena out of the way of the incoming fire from the Sirens. He then reached for his strapped M4A1 and shot the remaining Siren Minion stragglers.
A sound of gunfire sounded and it attracted all the attention of the Soldiers and Shipgirls in the area close to their location.
After shooting the remaining Siren Minions, he quickly assisted Helena off the ground as he pushed her out of the way of fire a moment ago.
"You alright?" He asked, while reaching a hand.
Helena quickly took the hand as she got up from the ground. "Yes. I'm alright." She said a bit embarrassed at the moment.
"By the way thanks for the warning earlier." He said.
"Warning???" She said confusingly. "I didn't say anything."
Both look at each other in total confusion in a moment, as they both didn't understand what the other is saying.
"Huh???" Cleveland-31 is utterly confused, as a moment ago he heard her voice whisper at his ears about the imminent danger at his left.
"But, I heard your voice whispering to me." He said, confused just like her.
"I didn't say a thing, I only know you just pushed me and then a gunshots sounded." Helena said.
"Weird." Cleveland-31 muttered.
"You two alright? we heard gunshots." Canberra said, while running towards them.
"Yes. We're both fine, we just ran into one of the surviving Sirens." Cleveland-31 answered.
"How could there be a Sirens left? I thought the area is all clear with Sirens." St. Louis mused as she asses the torn-down building.
Cleveland-31 respond. "Those Sirens just came-out from the rubbles, and with some bad luck, I guess. They accidentally run into us."
St. Louis and the rest go along with his explanation.
"Huh, I thought this area is secured with the Sirens." Honolulu exclaimed.
"Seems like we need to dug into the rubble to be sure there's none left." She said, as some of the Military Officers that gathered around nodded in agreement about her assessment.
And with that, the Army starts digging at the rubble of the building to find any surviving Sirens. Meanwhile, St. Louis, Honolulu, Helena, Canberra and Cleveland-31 continue at their walk through the Streets of D.C. to the White House where Theodore is waiting for them.

Code-G Dimension
"Why did you do that? you're not allowed to intermingle with the people in my world." Code-G said, quite a bit irritated at Ashen Helena sudden and unauthorized intervention.
"Sorry... I just wanted to see how fast he would react, and looks like I'm satisfied with the results." Ashen Helena said, while fixing her gaze on the two on the Holographic Screen.
Code-G closed her eyes and let out a sigh. "I will let that one slide, but one more intervention at them... and I will not let you slide a single out of this, do you hear me?"
Ashen Helena didn't want to encore Code-G's wrath, she reconcile.
"Fine. I won't." She said, hands raised.
"Although... you should be watching the fight over the Atlantic. I've noticed the Sirens were serious about tackling the little problem you brought here in this world."
She said, as both looked at the screen where the current battle is raging-on.
"I never seen the newly arrive Modern Kansen in battle, let see if they fair like the others." Code-G said in high hopes of the three engaging a 'Boss Level Threat' that the Siren brought into battle.
"Looks like those guys were hyped-up."

~A few hours earlier~
Shores at the State of Virginia
Siren Fleet engages the defending forces of Eagle Union Navy Fleet off the coast of the coast of State of Virginia. Salvos and bombs sounded here and there as the fierce fight between the faction of humanity and Alien Life from with unknown origins.
Colorado, Maryland and West Virginia along with some Escorts is stationed at Norfolk Naval Base, Virginia. They were the ones who responded to any attack at the West Coast of the Mainland Eagle Union.
Cannons of different calibers rang-out as two sides exchanged blows, in the air above propeller-powered and jet-powered aircraft as both aircraft engaged in an aerial combat, where both aircraft is both at each other's crosshairs.
"Don't let them through!" Ticonderoga's voice boomed at the ear-shattering explosions that sounded through the battlefield.
F4U Corsairs and F4F Hellcats buzzed above as the two high-end fighters combat the numerous Siren Planes that cover the skies above.
Everyone below eyed the numerous Siren Planes like a darkness that loomed over them, the numerous numbers of the Siren Planes covered the skies as bombs rained down at them.
"Commence, Anti-Air!"
The Dual Purpose 5-inch Guns from Battleships, Cruisers and Destroyers raised above and spew a rain of steel to hinder any attempts of landing a hit with their bombs.
Puffs of smoke cover the sky like blooming flowers of powder and shrapnels, some explode at the rain of steel, some manage to break through at the rain of steel and manages to dive-down at their targets below.
Bombs rain-down and huge plums of water rose-up from the underwater explosion. As water comes rushing down, everyone is soaked form the seawater.
"Damn it! There are too many of them!" Maryland cursed at their bleak situation.
"Damn these Sirens, seems like they choose this peculiar date when the Fleet is at a shift." Colorado said, as she and her speed managed to dodge the falling bombs.
"Seems like they learned from the lesson the last time that airpower is crucial at any Naval Battles." West Virginia said, as she noticed the excessive use of aircraft in this battle.
"yes. They really do learn from the previous battles with us." Colorado said, as she to noticed the peculiarity.
As the sisters fall into a conversation, a sudden explosion up above sounded as it was followed by a familiar thundering roar of Jet-Engine.
They quickly turned their heads, and noticed the familiar Aircraft above armed with missiles and bombs.
"So they manage to come in time."
"Yes looks like our reinforcements came in time."
Then an Osprey flew above and three people jumped-off from the rear, as to Halo Jump.
"What the ... why are they jumping-off at the that height?" Colorado exclaimed as she noticed the height of the jump is beyond everyone's knowledge of aerial jumps conducted by paratroopers.
"What are they doing, that's too high for a jump." Maryland said, almost shouting.
The Sirens too get the attention of the three doing Halo jumping at the height unimaginable than they could think of.
Tracker Mk-II looked-up as she asses the new faces that is entering the battlefield. The clothing they wore is too familiar, but the faces were new and not in their Data Files about the Modern Kansens.
"Enemy reinforcements?"
"Who were they?" Tracker MK-III asks, at the leading Officer of the Siren Diversion Forces.
"I don't know.... Those faces were not on our Data Base Files about the Modern Kansens." Tracker Mk-II said.
As everyone stared above, a bluish light engulfed the three as they splashed above the surface, and soaking everyone with salt water. The fog and water vapor vanishes and it reveals the identity of the three with their Rigging Form.
To the Shipgirl's surprise, the rigging of the new faces is similar to the once they knew of. The Rigging of the new faces was all too similar to Lucas, JS Maya and Barb.
"Reinforcements?" One of the Shipgirls uttered in the confusion of the newcomers.
Tracker Mk-II is a bit distracted by the sudden entrance of the three and forgot her task momentarily, she then proceeds to point her Plasma Cannon at the newcomer, but notices that all of her aiming systems and other fire control are all being jammed.
Before she could react a single NSM fired by JP Jones blasted her out in the Surface like getting blown at the fight. Prematurely.
JP Jones directed the attack at the face of one of the Sirens in a Decapitation Strike.
"My, a gruesome one." Kidd commented at the shift execution.
Tracker-MK-III furrowed her brows as she now had a grasp of the identity of the newcomers, their faces did not match to their Data Base, but the Rigging Form matched the Modern Kansen's Rigging Form.
"You three might be look different at what our Data Base held, but your Rigging Form says it all... you three... are the enemy." She said in an alien monotone that carries hateful meaning.
Then all the Mass-Produced Siren Ships ranging from Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers, and even the Carriers pointed their Plasma Cannons at them.
"Damn Jones, you're good at making ladies pissed-off." Kidd said.
"I pity you." Not kindly said by Jimmy.
"Hey! That ain't funny!!!" Jones shouted.
The Colorado Sisters and their Escorts were all confused at the weird, but yet familiar antics of the newcomers.
"..... Weirdos..."
