After the encounter with Von Stroheim and the others, it was determined that the battle would happen at dawn in 5 days time. During those days Tanya and all the commanders and vice commanders came up with a strategy to see who would be in the tanks and who would be on the ground in what was decided as trench warfare.
"We're calling this meeting now to devise our plan against the all stars and Stroheims army, we know that it'll be a tough battle but it will be one we can fight. Due to our agreement we need to have some of us train up to be fighting in the trenches." Tanya said
"Well we can fight in tanks but none of us are able to go toe to toe with anyone" Said Kinuyo Nishi of the Chi-Ha-Tan academy
"That's precisely why we're going to train, but what Stroheim, Jefferson or my brother don't know is that I have this little thing" Tanya said as she pulled out her computation jewel that she kept hidden.
"What's that?" Katyusha asked
"This my friend is a jewel that can grant me the ability to fly and can grant some of you the ability as well." Tanya replied
She continued "I will be the leader of the sky squadron and Miho will command the ground forces. So we need some of you to be with me and some of you to go with Miho." "Any takers?"
Kay, Katyusha, Darjeeling, Anchovy and a few others volunteered to be in the tanks.
Meanwhile Nonna and some of the other Oorai girls volunteered to take to the skies.
Before the meeting could close, Evans came in and said "look I really am sorry for deceiving you and lying but I really didn't want to go through with the murders so please as a last effort let me join you Tanya Degurechaff!"
Tanya looked at him briefly and nodded and all she could say was "training starts tomorrow don't be late."
A few days later..
As everyone prepared for what was to come the air outside was cold and the clouds greyed, it could only mean that no matter what happened some of them weren't making it out alive but they would fight for Tanya's sake and for the sake of the soldiers who died or were relentlessly killing all because of a family feud.
On the other side, Tyler Degurechaff felt calm and collected about all this, he knew this battle wouldn't be lost and that his sister would have to go through with what they agreed on. Jefferson being commander he was, made sure the boys were in top shape and made sure the soldiers who would fight on the ground wouldn't show mercy no matter what. Stroheim watched this all from the comfort of his office in his house and he knew Tyler and Jefferson had plans that would make him be the winner.
In a regular Shensado match there would be spectators but with this battle there were only a select few who could really watch. But everyone watched intently and with nervousness wondering if their friends would make it or not.
Tanya and Miho lead their teams out to meet Tyler and Jefferson, Jefferson would be in charge of the tank forces and Tyler to Tanya's surprise came up with the same plan she did.
"It looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of fighting in the sky" Tanya said through gritted teeth.
"You don't think I would have thought you would pull a little stunt like this?" Tyler asked.
Meanwhile Miho and Jefferson only exchanged words of good luck and with that they took their places.
Before Tanya's team went up in the air Miho turned to her and said "go avenge Maho for me ok?"
Tanya smiled and said "you can do that yourself."
Miho then hugged Tanya and just after the first sound of a gun was heard and everyone knew the battle was on...
Tanya flew over and watched as the madness continued below her and below the clouds she could see the Chi-Ha-Tan group doing their usual thing, she got on the comms and yelled "what the heck are you doing?!, you're supposed to do a sneak attack!"
All she heard from the commander was "this is what we always do, followed by words of charge!!! but Tanya saw that as soon as that was said, pieces of tank started coming up and she knew none of those girls had made it.
As Evans scanned the area he saw Tyler in the air, remembering the night of the attack on Maho and Erika he decided to put an end to it and flew straight at Tyler.
"Ah Evans, I knew you would try to finish me off but not today" he took a shot but Evans dodged it and shot with his rapid fire rifle, Tyler being a Degurechaff simply avoided it and laughed "you'll have to do better than that"
The chase went on until Tyler had enough of this game of cat and mouse, Evans had his eyes set on him the whole time that he didn't notice the other two soldiers who stabbed him in the back and knocked him out of the air.
Nonna had seen this and tried catching him but as she did she got shot and fell with him.
On the ground Kay was commanding both the Kuromorimine team in Tanyas place and her old team of Saunders, all around she could hear scream of help and on the comms she could hear people speaking until they went static and she knew that they weren't alive. She knew that to secure a win they would need to capture Jefferson and hopefully Tanya had captured her brother but she was focused on Jefferson.
As she moved in her tank she found herself surrounded by opposing forces and tried to pick out Jefferson's tanks but she couldn't see it, she then tried to reach Tanya before it was too late and Tanya picked up "Kay, did you find him?"
Kay started to cry and said "sis I'm so sorry I couldn't and I'm so sorry that I can't do much"
"What do you mean Kay?" Tanya asked now with concern in her voice.
"Kay what do you mean?!"
The last thing Tanya heard was "go win this thing for me.." tank cannons filled the air and Tanya for the first time in a while had cried like she never had before.
Miho somehow knew that Kay got shot at and so it was up to her to find Jefferson and partially end this. As she and her team looked around she found his tank and before he could get away Katyusha and Darjeeling snuck up and blocked his way out.
Knowing this he spoke to Miho
"Well done for catching me but I'm afraid it's the end for you, my guard tanks should appear at any moment and take you three out and we'll be much closer to victory."
"You can stop lying, Katyusha and Darjeeling's team took out your guard tanks plus Anzio and some of Oorai are keeping your other teams away from us. So give up cause it's hopeless to fight."
Jefferson laughed "you fools little did you know that we put poison in your tank and you have oh I don't know about 2 minutes until it fills the chamber."
As Darjeeling heard this she yelled on her comm "Miho I strongly suggest you get out of there!"
"Miho came up with something but she had to do it quick, she said goodbye to Saori, Hana, Yukari and Mako, told them to get out and went through with her plan.
She spoke again to Jefferson saying "it seems you have caught me but I have one last thing I've got up my sleeve before I get poisoned"
before Jefferson's team could react the same, she aimed the canon at his tank and shot. Katyusha confirmed it hit and Miho then sat in her seat and let the poison take her over and slowly slipped into an everlasting sleep.
Tanya had enough of this battle as it was, she lost some friends and despite the idiotic attack of the Chi-Ha-Tan team she hoped they would come through, most importantly she lost her sister, she knew she had a brother but she didn't accept it because she didn't know him or remember him much so she decided to finish the battle and make things right again. In a rage she flew and shot any enemy soldier that she could and finally found Tyler.
Fuming she stated
"I don't care if you're my brother, I lost someone close to me and you're going to pay!!"
Tyler stopped and replied "so then do it, kill me if you're so angry. End this battle"
Tanya then smiled and said "oh killing you would be merciful I think a lifetime of prison and torture would suit you well, and without hesitation she got hold of him before he could escape and she took him down to the ground where she would found more of her friends lifeless. She had officers arrest Tyler and arrest Stroheim as she found out from Katyusha that Jefferson was dead.
As she looked over the battlefield she sighed out of relief knowing that the battle was won.
