The group was now at a restaurant.
Yukari clicks on the tank that was a bell.
Boom!
A tiny explosion went off.
Everyone *Smol Gasp*
A waiter comes.
Waiter: "Have you decided on your order?"
Hana: "We'll have the cake combos. Two chocolate cakes, one of the strawberry tarts, one lemon pie, a blueberry cheesecake and a New York cheesecake."
Waiter: "Thank you ladies and gentleman. We'll be out soon!"
Y/N: "Man, this is a really well made restaurant!"
Saori: "So the button here sounds like the main turret!"
Yukari: "That's from the Type 90, isn't it?"
Hana: "Nothing less than a tank cafe!"
Saori: "Ahhh! I get so excited when I hear them firing! It's scary!"
Then, a truck carrying the foods comes by and delivers the cakes.
Saori: "Oh! What's that?"
Yukari: "That's a Dragon Wagon!"
Miho: "How cute!"
The cakes were made like tanks as well.
Miho: "The cakes are cute too!"
The group proceed to grab their cakes.
Miho: "Sorry... we're up against a tough school because of me."
Hana: "Is Saunders High really that strong?"
Y/N: "Well, that depends on what the definition of 'Strong' is in your book. Kuromorimine would count as strong, but Saunders? Not so much. Also, they're filthy rich. Have tonnes of everything, what you'd expect from that one rich kid in school."
Miho: "The limit on the first battle is ten tanks."
Saori: "Ten tanks? That's almost twice our numbers!"
Y/N: "Well, it's more or less 'Quality over Quantity'. We have loaded some HE shells for me, I'll be sure that they won't be able to go anywhere!"
Mako: "What about my units?"
Saori: "I don't think we'll get any if we lose!"
Mako proceeded to stab the cake, and eat it.
Saori: "They're going to be showing the national games on TV right? What will happen if I get fan letters?"
Y/N: "Uh... judging by who you are, I think you'll be getting none. And besides, they'll only be showing the finals live."
Saori: "Then let's make sure we get to the finals!"
Everyone proceeds to eat their cakes.
???: "Sub-commander? Or would that be... 'Former sub-commander'?"
Y/N: That voice... it can't be...
Y/N: "Oh! It's long white hair girl and the other girl! Come here to lose again?"
Erika and Maho glare at Y/N.
Miho: "Big sister?"
Everyone: "Huh?"
Maho: "I didn't think you'd still be doing Tankery."
Yukari: "If I may say something, I don't think Miho's decision was incorrect in that match."
Erika: "I think someone needs to mind their own business."
Y/N: "Well, since it's coming from your own mouth, don't you think you should get the **** out of here and let us 'mind our own business?"
Maho: "Let's go."
Erika: "Yes commander. You're facing Saunders in the first match. Be sure you don't leave it all up to Y/N to do your own work."
Saori: "Hey! What's your problem!"
Hana: "I do believe that was quite rude, ma'am."
Erika: "I find you participating in Tankery rude."
Y/N: Oh, so you want to play this game, huh? "I find you existing to be 'rude'."
Erika: "Ghg! Your just some no-name school. There's an unspoken rule that everyone knows: Schools that will just embarrass Tankery should stay out of the tournament."
Y/N: "Well, you said it! Looks like Kuromorimine is out of the tournament!"
Erika: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Y/N: "Well, didn't you say the all schools that will embarrass Tankery should leave the tournament? I'm sure if I end up beating you, you might actually **** off into you ****ing little cave of *****es."
Mako: "And besides, it'd sure be pretty embarrassing if one of those no name schools beat the veterans who all sat around in their ivory tower coming up with that rule."
The two then left.
Yukari: "They were from Kuromorimine, and they made it to the Semi-finals."
Y/N: "We'll win. I was actually the strongest when I went to Kuromorimine. I left after Maho started spouting nonsense about how winning is the key to everything, blah blah blah. You get the point."
*Time skippu*
We then see Miho outside feeling the breeze.
Yukari: "You're not cold out here?"
Miho: "No, I'm fine."
Yukari: "A national tournament. I'm happy just to be participating in a tournament. I'll get to see the other schools matches, I think the best thing we can do, is to try our best! It doesn't matter if we lose."
Anzu: "No, that's be a problem."
Momo: "You're winning. We must win the tournament at all costs."
Y/N: "Yeah! What she said. If we lose, the sch-"
Anzu and Momo kick him away.
Miho: "Huh? What was that he was trying to say?"
Anzu: "Nothing. Anyways, this is all on your shoulders, Nishizumi-Chan! What should I have you do this time if we lose?"
The trio then leave.
Y/N: "No pressure, Nishizumi. Just be calm. I'll help you if you need!"
Miho then starts talking about Saunder's tanks.
In a few words, it's: Fireflies. Lots of them. Well, if you've watched the anime, not so much. It's actually all Shermans.
Y/N: "Hey! I know! Me and Yukari will spy on their tanks!"
Miho: "Ok, I'll tell the student council group."
...next day
The Miho, Hana, Mako and Saori are currently going to Yukari's house so they can talk about their intel on tanks.
When they arrived, they knocked on the door. Yukari's parents were sitting there.
Y/N and Yukari are seen coming back.
Y/N: "Yukari, wait up! I got a bit extra info."
Yukari: "Ok, let's go!"
*Timeskip*
The window opened.
Yukari: "Why are all of you here?"
Y/N: "Yeah! I thought you said to meet at the Hangar?"
Hana: "Well, you were late, so we were worried."
Saori: "Also, why didn't you two come through the front door?"
Y/N: "Isn't it obvious? We aren't students at Saunders. Look at what we're wearing."
The squad: "Ohhhhhh."
Y/N and Yukari then plugged in their camera USBs.
*Timeskip*
Yukari was suspicious, and soon, Kay found out. She asked her what class she was in, and Yukari replied: Seargent Third Class, Odd Ball. That was a dumb move. Y/n, however, just hid in crevasses and watched from windows. Kinda like a stalker.
Miho: "So, they'll be using one Firefly, one Sherman A1, and eight tanks with seventy five mm turrets. Thanks, you two."
*Timeskip*
Y/N: "So, practice has ended."
Saori: "That was hard! I wanna eat something sweet!"
Miho: "You wanna grab something on the way back?"
Saori: "Oh! Uh, we have a little something to do, so... Miporin, you go back on your own!"
Miho: "Oh? Ok..."
Y/N: "I'll come with, Miho. I'll call my crew to come with as well."
...
The five start walking back.
Polina: "Hi Miho! I'm Polina!"
Miho: "Right! I know you girls! You girls also command the Bat Chat! Right?"
Amy: "Mm hm!"
Miho: "Oh! I forgot my strategy notebook!"
Y/N: "Hmm? Oh right! Thanks for reminding me! I forgot my notebook too! How lucky! You three go on ahead."
Sofia: "Ok! Byeeeee!"
Y/N and Miho go back to grab their notebooks.
Miho then heard some rumbling.
Y/N: "Hey Miho, did you feel that? I think it cam from outside!"
The duo walk out and saw the Saori, Hana, Mako and Yukari training.
Miho: "You guys! You're all still practicing?"
Saori: "Well, we didn't really want to be the ones that slow you down..."
Hana: "We'll show your sister just what we're made of!"
The next day, all the tanks got an allocated animal and kept training.
They also got rid of the paint and drew said animals onto their tanks.
The StuG is now Hippo Team.
The M3 Lee is now Rabbit Team.
The Type 89 is now Duck Team.
The 38(t) is now Turtle Team.
The Panzer IV is now Anglerfish Team.
And finally...
The Bat-Châtillon 25t is now Bat Team.
The team is now training really hard.
They also got new tank jackets... except Y/N of course. He got to bring his own, which was like a normal school jacket but with navy blue colour and white striped zippers.
...
The Tankery game is now about to begin.
Momo: "Have you finished servicing?"
Everyone: "Yeah!"
Momo: "Then stand by until the match starts!"
Yuuki: "Ohh! I almost forgot the shells!"
Aya: "That's the most important thing!"
???: "That's pretty lax. I'm surprised you're even able to enter the tournament like that."
Momo: "What are you here for!"
???2: "We we're thinking of inviting you over for a meal, so we can get to know each other before the match!"
Y/N: "See? I told you. They're filthy rich and are too posh. Someone needs to tax them."
Anzu: "Oh! That sounds nice! We'll come."
At the place, there were a tonne of food trucks.
Y/N: "Why in the world would you need a billion food trucks?"
Yukari: "They have a first aid car, a shower car, and a salon too?"
Hana: "They really do have a lot of money, don't they?"
Kay: "Hey Angie!"
Yuzu: "President, why is she calling you Angie?"
Momo: "Acting like they know us..."
Anzu: "Hey there, Kay! Thanks for inviting us!"
Kay: "Feel free to eat anything you like. Ok?"
Anzu: "Ok, Ok, O-Kay."
Kay: "Hahahahaha! That was a good one!"
Kay looks at Yukari.
Kay: "Hey there! Sergeant Third Class, Odd Ball!"
Yukari: "Oh she found me!"
Saori: "I wonder if she's mad..."
Kay: "Are you ok Sergeant?"
Yukari: "Oh, yeah!"
Kay: "Come and play anytime you like. We're always open! See ya!"
Y/N: "I mean, if she was mad I would've pulled a 'St G' and said 'All is fair in love and war'!"
Miho: "Is it just me, or does Y/N seem like a spy from St Gloriana?"
Everyone laughed after that one. That's a lie. Dead silence.
A few moments later, the match was ready to begin.
Judge: "We're now starting the match between Saunders High and Ooarai Girls Academy."
Kay: "Good luck"
Anzu: "Yeah."
The match was ready to begin.
Miho: "As I explained, we'll win if we take out their flag-tank before they get ours. Saunders is better at everything than us, but let's try to fight the without panicking."
Everyone: "Right!"
Judge: "Match... Start!"
All the tanks moved out. The Bat Chat was ahead of the group.
Miho: "Bat team, Rabbit team, I want you to do some recon on the right for us! Duck team, take the left side!"
Y/N: "Roger!"
Miho: "Hippo and Anglerfish teams will advance while protecting Turtle team, as it was the flag tank. Now, Panzer Vor!"
The troops did their allocated stuff. The Bat Chat went in front of the M3.
Azusa: "Hey Y/N, don't you think we should slow down a bit?"
Y/N: "We can't back down. We must keep fighting. I'll deal with enemy fire. If there is enemy tanks coming, I want you to head back and tell Miho. I'll deal with them. When I knock out some of them, I'll lure them away into a good spot for the StuG. Understood?"
Azusa: "Right!"
There was nothing until...
Azusa(Radio): "We're at BO85S, and we've spotted three Shermans!"
Y/N: "Ok. I'll lure them out. Rabbit, stay here."
The Bat Chat drove forward fast, and was bombarded by an ambush.
Y/N: How could they've known? Their intuition can't be that good...wait...
*Flashback*
Darjeeling: "I promise we'll fight fairly, unlike Saunders or Pravda."
*Flashback end*
Y/N: Maybe that's it. They are cheating? But how? Can't waste time. "Rabbit, you must retreat. More Shermans are coming. I'll deal with them. Miho, join up if you can."
The M3 drove off.
Y/N: "Sofia, get ready."
Y/N took a deep breathe.
Amy: "When you're ready..."
Y/N: "Fire... NOW!"
The Bat Chat shot all of it's clip, and managed to take out one Sherman.
Y/N: "That's the best we can do for now. Let's leave."
The Bat Chat drove back a bit out of the forest. The Shermans kept on chasing the Bat Chat.
...
Orange Pekoe: "That's Saunders for you, they fight using their numbers."
Darjeeling: "Say, do you know this old joke? The American president used to show off quite a bit. He said, "We have everything in our country." Then a foreign reporter asked him, "Does that include the hotline to hell, sir?""
...
Y/N: They must be cheating. But how? Maybe they are listening to our convers- that's it! They're wiretapping!
The IV was helping out the M3. Suddenly, three tanks cam up behind the IV.
Miho: "Three of them? So we're surrounded?"
Yukari: "Six from the Northeast, three from the South-southwest. They put nine of their tanks into this forest!?"
Hana: "That's quite the tactic they're using."
Y/N(Radio): "Girls! Do you recall what Darjeeling told us before we began the match?"
Miho: "No? Why is that so important?"
Y/N(Radio): "Well! She said that she'll fight fairly unlike Saunders and Pravda! That means they're cheating!"
Miho: "But how?"
Y/N(Radio): "Well, look up!"
Miho looked up. A comms interceptor.
Miho: "That's a..."
The Bat Chat, the IV, the M3 and the Type 89 has successfully made it out of the forest after outrunning the tanks.
Miho: "Haiz... that was close. But still... what are we going to do about that..."
Hana: "Miho, what's wrong?"
Miho: "They have a device intercepting our transmissions up there."
Hana: "Eh! But isn't that against the r-"
Miho covers her mouth.
Miho: "Shhhhhh"
...
Yukari: "Hmm, well, there's nothing in the rule book that said you can't put up wiretapping devices."
Saori: "How terrible! Who cares how much money they have!"
Hana: "Let's say something!"
Y/N pops out of the hatch of the BC.
Y/N: "Say something convincing to lure them out! Like we are headed to the south-east part of the map!"
Miho: "In that case..."
...
Miho: "All tanks go south on route 0985, and move to the junction there. The enemy should travel north through the junction, so take them out from the sides when they pass through."
Everyone: "Roger!"
...
Alisa: "Target is the junction. They're laying in wait on the sides. Have a decoy head north up the road and have the main force surround them."
Kay: "Ok, ok. But how do you know so much?"
Alisa: "Female intuition?"
Kay: "Ahahaha! How reliable."
...
Miho saw that the tanks were coming.
Y/N: "Now, Miho!"
Miho(Radio): "We're surrounded! Everyone retreat!"
The Type 89 pulling a mound of grass used to kick up dust was driving away to make it look like they were retreating.
And of course, the Shermans took the bait.
...
Alisa is listening to the radio.
Miho(Radio): "We've been found. The 38(t) is to hide at point C1024R."
Alisa: "The 38(t)... that's the enemies flag tank. You're mine!"
Alisa: "Charlie, Dog, advance quickly to point C1024R. Fire on sight!"
...
The Shermans took the bait and headed to the point, where the tanks were hidden and ready to fire.
The Shermans looked around and... BAM!
Erwin: "FIREEEEE!"
The StuG fired the shell and it hit the Sherman.
The other Sherman retreated.
Saori: "We weren't talking on radios. We were talking on our phones."
Yukari: "All right! Our plan succeeded!"
Y/N: "Man! This team is really independent! Miho has grown so much over the years! I don't regret joining this school!"
...
Orange Pekoe: "Oh my! They've done it!"
Darjeeling: "They have."
...
Erika: "Ooarai managed to take out a tank?"
Maho: "It seems that way."
...
Kay: "Wow! Things have gotten interesting."
