Hello everyone:)
Well the battle begins in the water with the SeaSkimmer fighter jets being launched from Dragon subcarriers!
This chapter aims to introduce the Dragon subcarrier (an aircraft carrier that is a submarine), and the SeaSkimmers ( like F-18 Hornets being launched off the deck of a modern carrier) except this carrier is underwater, and the jets are launched through massive torpedo tubes in the subcarrier!
Hope you enjoy:)

Chapter 12 :- The Battle Begins
Cloaked,
Lurking silently,
Like menacing sharks,
Amongst the inky depths,
Of the mighty Indian Ocean,
Prowled the sleek Dragon Subcarrier Fleet.
Unsurpassed in all the Mechanoid Imperial Navy.
Each Dragon represented the apex of underwater technology,
Imposing; aerodynamic, the massive superstructures seethed with vicious intent,
As its dedicated crews briskly rushed about in meticulous preperation.
Subcarriers,
Had replaced,
Surface aircraft carriers,
In the neo century.
No longer did naval ships,
Pry the saphirre hued ocean waves,
Their trim hulls crashing against the surf!
Sailors swept along by wind were now submariners,
Lurking amongst the deepest currents, like the Dragon subcarriers;
Dragon subcarriers which launched forth the vaunted SeaSkimmer fighter jets!
"Launching
Sequence initiated!"
The countdown began,
And the submariners clamoured
For their individual action stations,
The hull echoing loudly with sirens,
As the SeaSkimmer jets fired their engines.
Imbued with emotions, the unmanned jets waited impatiently.
Keen to come to grips finally with the enemy,
Their robotic minds awash with millions of calculations; projections; possibilities.
Energised,
The SeaSkimmers,
That would constitute,
The honoured First Wave.
For although they were robots,
They lavished praise on each other,
And reveled in their own personal glory,
Like eager warriors at the dawn of battle.
The Hive Mind; unpertubed by the jets keen fervour,
Issued its orders. "Ensure your vectors don't betray our positions."
"Seek,
And destroy,
