[Corruption, Pregnancy]

Defending the ocean from the ones that had sunk. That was the duty of the Kanmusu. Girls that carried the spirits of the ships that had faithfully served the navies of the world. They were like machines in that sense, but with the soft center of a girl that could be trained in the art of kindness and freedom.

Kindness was especially important to the fleet that Kaga belonged to. Her Admiral was a young boy. A boy that didn’t believe in himself. But he believed in her and the others. And he promised to believe in them as long as he could.

That was what brought them power. That was what brought her power. As she called upon the planes that she could summon with her power as a Carrier, Kaga aimed them towards the encroaching horde, ready to-

“ABYSSAL ATTACKERS AT SIX O’CLOCK!”

One of the other Kanmusu cried out, and the brunette barely got a moment to react before she felt a pain shooting through her, sourced down at her crotch. She fell onto her knees, barely floating atop the water as her body grew warm.

“Kaga down! Everyone, finish them off so we can get back to base! We mustn’t worry our Admiral!”

She heard their voices, but her eyes couldn’t keep open. The damage she had sustained was too much. Her body was falling prey to whatever attack had landed on her…

“KAGA!”

---

“...aga… Kaga… Kaga..!”

Her eyes slowly opened. The softness of the bed underneath her reminded her where she was. A place that made her feel safe, yet frustrated at the same time…

The infirmary. And at the side of her bed was the young boy that served as her Admiral. The youth that she tried to do everything for, even if it meant pain for her.

“Kaga…” Admiral Murakami Iehisa. The boy who had placed all of his trust in them. Whenever he seemed sad, a tinge of worry went off in his girls’ hearts. And whenever he was happy, they were happy.

The usually-stoic carrier sighed a little as she sat up in bed. Despite the damage that had seemingly been inflicted on her, she felt perfectly capable… “Admiral. You don’t need to worry.” She said, after squeezing her hands together.

“B-But, you fell down during combat. You… You can’t just be okay, there must be…” Iehisa muttered. He always did this. Whenever they got damaged, he’d worry his little heart so much that it was on the verge of breaking. He always needed their comfort and their support, especially in the toughest of times.

Kaga slowly patted him on the head and brought him close to her naked breast, having been stripped after being returned for repairs. “I’m fine, Iehisa. Breathe. We’ll get back at the Abyssals the next time we see them. I promise. They’ll pay for whatever they did to me.”

He slowly nodded, his cheeks now flushing bright red as he became acutely aware of what he was doing. Namely, pressing his lips up against her breast like he wanted to kiss it. “J-Just make sure that you don’t do anything rash, Kaga. I don’t want you to be hurt…”

“I’ll be fine, Iehisa. Make sure that everyone else is fine too. I’ll meet them down at the dock when I’m ready.” She said, the hidden sweetness in her tone bubbling up to the top. All while she left a kiss on his cheek.

The poor Admiral blushed even harder, gasping and stuttering as he turned his butt right around, heading out of the room as fast as he could. He didn’t want to disturb her any more… And he needed a bit of time to compose himself after all of that.

Kaga looked out of the door as he left her, smiling slightly while getting up from her bed. She knew that he’d be alright. Just like she was. But she did wonder…

What exactly had the Abyssals done? Both to her, and how they managed to sneak up on her like that…

As the thought dwelled on her mind, a bit of warmth started going through her body. Centralizing not on her crotch, but somewhere else…

“Breeder…”

Kaga blinked after the word slipped off her lips. What was going on? She… She never even considered breeding to be something that a girl like her could do. She was a Kanmusu. A ship that served the Navy. A girl that did her best to fight back against the hordes of the Abyssals, the ones that wanted to sink her and her ilk.

She wasn’t a Breeder. She was a proud girl. Proud of being on the front lines. Showing herself off. Proud of being paired up with the enemy. Proud of being defeated and bred…

The stoic girl’s expression faltered as her memories were turning into a static haze. She was starting to understand what was going on. It was like that attack on her nethers had sent some sort of scrambling frequency thorugh her, to make her think she was something else. To make her think she was…

“Breeder… Breeder Unit…” She muttered again, her eyes briefly turning a deep abyssal red as she let out a gasp. The thought was consuming her. Growing within her, making her lose her balance as she fell back onto the bed where she had been resting.

Where her young had been gestating, ever since she had been inseminated by the last attack...

That was what had happened. The Abyssals had launched a suicidal attack. To try and land one blow on her most vulnerable area. After all, she was based on a female. That meant that she had every single weakness that a normal female had. And the Abyssals, while nominally monstrous, needed Females to reproduce. Which explained the occasionally evolved and pregnant ones they had seen on the front lines…

Kaga’s breath grew heavier as she put her hands on her belly, seeing it slowly swell outward as she became deadly aware of what was inside it. Abyssals. Swimming around inside her womb. Using it as a breeding ground. Using the Breeder’s womb as the place for them to grow.

She tried to shake her head. Tried to ignore the feeling of warmth that it gave her. Tried to shake off her role. But the Breeder couldn’t resist for long. She knew that this was what she was meant for. Most Kanmusu understood after being blessed by the Abyssals. Whether it was by having them turn into combat units, or…

Breeder Units like her. A fate that she couldn’t escape, as her stomach grew fully gravid, looking pregnant with quintuplets…

Kaga closed her eyes one more time, before they opened and revealed bright red eyes. She had awoken. “Breeder Unit Kaga online…” She muttered, her voice distorting as her corruption had been completed. An internal procedure for the most part, as her external form was still necessary. If she revealed her deception too early…

She knew what would happen. In fact, this was why she had been chosen in the first place. One of her fellow Breeder Units, the one that they had fought against earlier, had been one of her allies. She too was blessed by the Abyssals, and had to lure her in. Then one of her recently born children, swimming through the ocean below in the form of a torpedo, launched a deadly attack on her to bless her. And here she was.

The Breeder Unit got up once more, her heavy stomach glowing softly blue as she started to make her way towards the door. She had to do what her offspring commanded her to…

“Kaga? Are you feeling alright?” A voice echoed out from the hallway outside the infirmary. A familiar voice. The voice of her sister ship, Akagi. A perfect Breeder Unit, if she had to make a personal assessment.

The Breeder Unit spoke with her normal voice. “I’m alright, Akagi. You can see for yourself, if you’d like.” She said, using her stoic tones to lure her closer.

Akagi opened the door, and almost screamed as soon as she saw the gravid girl with the Abyssal eyes peering towards her. It was a horrifying sight, one that would make anybody realize the dangers that were now lurking on the base…

But she couldn’t. Not before the naked Breeder Unit grabbed her sister ship, and forced her into a kiss. In that moment, one of her offspring, the tiniest fragment of Abyssal material, travelled through her mouth and into her sister ship’s body…

The girl that would’ve blown her plan wide open started stuttering as she pulled back, blinking a little. “C-Congratulations, Kaga… I-I always knew you and the Admiral were a perfect fit.” Already, her memories were being altered to benefit the Abyssals. She’d make an excellent Breeder Unit, once it had fully taken root inside her womb.

“Iehisa has been nothing but kind, indeed…” Breeder Unit Kaga played along, placing a hand on her stomach. She could feel the life of the Abyss wriggling around in there, begging to be born.

The moment of truth would come later. For now, she had to play the part of a mole. That was her duty as a Breeder Unit, until everyone had been given the same role and purpose…

And then… The Admiral would join them. Bulging and gravid with Abyssal life...
