CLAN WAR I: AN EMPIRE'S END
Prologue/Chapter 1
This is a story of a group of friends in a world where serious fighting is seldom seen until it became the warzone of the century. The two tanks you'll meet first would be Orbit, an KV-2 that takes pride in one-shot kills, and Lazer, a T-34-85 that happened to be a jack-of-all-trades fighter that got his nickname from his surprising accuracy. Even tier ten tanks feel uneasy about their rep, despite having a four-tier advantage on them.
Now, may the chaos begin…
Tank rounds of numerous calibers: 2-pdr, 57mm, 75/6mm, 85mm, and 105mm, were whizzing overhead more times than the tanks could count. "Orbit...HURRY THE FUCK UP AND RELOAD!" yelled Lazer.
"I know 5...4..3...2..and-" replied Orbit as he blew a KV-1 that was getting cocky to ash.
"How did we get into this bullshit without backup!" yelled Lazer.
"How in the fucking hell would I know!" screamed Orbit from behind cover as his 152mm "Orbital Laser" reloaded. Then he heard Lazer scream out and an explosion. "Lazer!" he yelled, fearing the worst."Lazer! Lazer! Damn it Jeff, WHERE ARE YOU!"
5 hours earlier…
"Yo, Orbit wake up. Orbit. ROBERT! YOU LAZY HUNK OF METAL! WAKE YOUR ASS UP!" hollered Lazer.
"I'm up, I'm up. Is everyone else awake?" asked Orbit, groggy.
"Mornin' Orbit" resounded everyone at the base.
"That answer your question?" replied Lazer.
"Don't be so rude to him Jeff" said Emily. She, and everyone at the base besides Orbit and Lazer, were tier seven tanks. Her model is a T20.
"Yeah, don't be so rude" added Maya, Emily's twin sister and, also, a T20. Lazer muttered a curse under his breath. "What was that?!" yelled Maya, making Lazer roll away from her.
"Can you guys stop being pricks and call me by my warname?" asked Jeff.
"NOPE!" was all he got for a reply.
"Ugh, are we here to have breakfast or what?" responded an annoyed T-34-85 (Lazer).
"FINALLY, I thought you'd never ask!" exclaimed Eldrin, a Tiger 1 known for his sniping and head-on fighting skill. He can be a bit cocky at times.
"Leave Lazer alone you jerk." said Orbit. As previously mentioned, he's a KV-2. What you guys didn't know is that he leads this clan, the mighty and proud Sturm Krieg, despite being a lower tier tank in the group.
"Fine sir," replies Eldrin as he went towards a fuel pump.
"Lighten up, you ol' chap" joked Jacob,the Black Prince in the group.
"He can't, he's too jealous over all the glory Jeff and Robert [a.k.a. Orbit] get." said Isabella. She's a Sp 1C, but very overprotective of her closest friends: Emily, Maya, and Johnaeh, who'll you'll meet in a bit.
"I'm not jealous, it's just that they do more damage than any of us and we are a tier higher." said Eldrin.
"You do know Jeff is close to becoming a T-43, right?" asked Johnaeh, with an edge of insult in her voice. She was a Chi-Ri and one that liked to get into fights with others.
"So, what's your point?" retorted Eldrin.
"My point is that you're jealous of the commander and his right-hand-man just because they actually fight more often than any of us." You didn't hear wrong, 2 tier 6 tanks command a clan of 10, eight of which are tier seven and, at the same time, outclass their fighting capabilities.
"Fine, I'm jealous, but that still doesn't explain why they are better fighters than any of us."
"They're better because they actually leave base to take part in skirmishes more than any of us."
"Still, who are they fighting to be that good at combat"
"Can you guys stop?! Please?! You'll give me a tier ten pain in the ass before I even hear gunshots if you don't stop" said Lazer, surprising everyone there.
"Sorry sir," replied Eldrin and Johnaeh, their guns drooping with sadness.
"It's fine. For now, gas-up and load up everything you need for combat, ALL OF YOU! The commander has a mission for us." yelled Jeff.
"For all of us?" asked Aiden, a LTTB that would rather use hit-and-run tactics than scout anytime, with a mixed tone of hopeful and resent in his voice.
"Yes, Aiden. We ALL need to be a part of this skirmish." replied Lazer. "This is the possible start of a clan war against the Park War Machine. This might be the last time you see me as an '85 before the start of a battle and I'm excited about that so FUEL UP, LOAD UP, AND ROUND UP!" ordered Lazer.
1 hour later…
"Ok everyone, I know you're all surprised by this sudden command to prepare for battle. Here's the situation, tanks with the markings of the Park War Machine clan have been confirmed to be prowling our region's borders. The reports say that they were trying to keep clear of our symbol, the Tracks of Justice. And they continued this for an hour and, at least, 40 miles traveled in a circuit." said Robert. He continued with, "I trust that these are accurate, Aiden?"
"Those reports are accurate sir. This is exactly what I saw while on patrol yesterday sir." answered Aiden.
"Ok then, if the P.W.M. has vehicles this far away from their home base, we may have to start considering a war. Here's the problem, there are exactly ten of us and at least one hundred of them. The only advantage we have is that they are mostly tier four and five tanks, except their leader, Vasili, who is a tier six, just like me and Orbit. He is also a KV-2, but he was confirmed before our creation the he has the Zis-6 107mm gun, not the legendary M-10. This is a minor relief." said Jeffrey.
"Ok, why are we worried? We have the power to confront them, right? C'mon, we're tier seven tanks," interrupted Aiden drawing attention to himself.
"We have to be worried because we don't know whether or not they actually plan to fight us, let alone from where." said the final member of the clan. This was Andrew, an IS that often got into quarrels with Lazer and blames it on his jealousy of Andrew and Maya's relationship, even though he knows Lazer has feelings for someone else that was outside of their clan.
"That's right. Now we need to prepare for any attack. This is the time for you guys to earn your warnames." said Orbit.
"Wait, what? You mean our own warnames? Kinda like Orbit is yours Robert and Lazer is Jeff's?" asked Andrew.
"Don't call me that when I'm on duty," angrily muttered Jeff.
"Yes, you guys will prove yourselves in battle and earn your own warname. Now, here's the plan. Eldrin, you will lead the heavies on an offensive to our eastern flank. Aiden, you're their forward scout. Emily, you and the rest of the girls will do the same on the west. Lazer, you and me will go right into the camp to negotiate and find out why they're this far away from their base. Everyone get that?" ordered Orbit.
For a response he got a resounding, "YES, SIR!" from everyone, the loudest of which came from behind him, Lazer as usual.
"Commander, Jeff mentioned that this could be the last time we see him as an '85. Do you know what he means by this?" asked Johnaeh, a smirk on her face as she said Lazer's proper name, seeing his reaction.
"Don't call me that…" was all anyone heard from Jeff as he stormed off.
"Where ya goin' we have a plan to finish!" yelled Jacob.
"Fuck off, YOU have a plan to finish. I have a jump to prepare for!" shouted Jeff
"What he means by that is that he 1.5 exp from becoming a T-43. This battle is his final before he achieves this. Give him a break. I know he won't fuck things up, but he doubts himself. Cut him some slack for FUCK'S SAKE!" said Orbit.
"You're serious, he's about to join our tier? What about you? When will you become a T-150?" asked Emily, her curiosity peaked.
"Oh, I'm not becoming a T-150, I'm becoming an ISU-152." replied Orbit, pride in his voice. Not the rude, over confident type, this the pride someone gets when they know they're one-in-a-million, but don't want to let word get out so they become quieter when they reveal their secret. See it as being prideful yet shy all at once.
"Now let's finish this up and let's earn our warnames!" said Orbit. He started to roll out to join Jeff.
"Emily, did I hear what I thought I just heard?" asked Maya.
"I don't know. A tier six heavy tank becoming a tier eight tank destroyer? That Robert must be a 'Special Case'" she replied.
