Miho half skipped, half ran towards her tankery class.
It has been almost a year since her academy won the national championships.
'I can't believe I got that letter!' She almost screamed in her head, narrowly avoiding a lamp-post as she did so.
"I've got to tell everyone! YAY!" She actually screamed as she raced into the academy for her next year...With a lot more tankey she hoped...and a lot more FUN!
She bottled herself into some kind of containment during class but everyone could tell...Even Yukari could tell - As she kept poking her. The pair were eventually walking towards the hangers together...Yukari was STILL poking Miho. After awhile Miho stopped, causing Yukari to stop the poking.
"Are you okay Miho?"
Miho looked at Yukari. A hacked off expression all over her face, the kind you'd give a child as if to say, 'Nah, I like being poked, can you do it again?' But with a slight edge to her tone, "Yeah, now that you've stopped poking me" She smiled sarcastically but then recoiled when Yukari looked dispondent and hurt by this. "I'm sorry...I've been worried about you today..." Miho was curious by Yukari's whisper. "Huh? What are you-"
"GET DOWN!" A huge loudspeaker bellowed down to the two, Miho (near enough) jumped out off her skin as she ducked, Yukari dropped to the floor without any cause for concern about herself, landing on Miho earning a grunt from Miho.
Four fighter planes, all going at (one could call stupid speeds) flew around the aircraft carrier as it slowed to a halt. Two making passes around in a clock-wise formation and the other two anti-clockwise.
Miho rose her head although it was a little difficult because Yukari was clinging to her, terrified like a small cat.
"What in the world!?" Miho shouted as Saori raced over to them. "GET UP YOU TWO! Hurry! This way!" Saori and Hana (A/N: I think that's her name) forcefully picked up both Miho and Yukari, racing into the control tower with them.
Yukari was almost as white as a sheet while Miho was (pretty much) demanding answers. "What the hell is going on here!? Who are they?!"
"WE'VE GOT FOUR MORE PLANES COMING THIS WAY! ALL HANDS MAN THE TURRETS! I SAY AGAIN, ALL HANDS-" The loudspeaker was cut short as an explosion noise mixed with the sound of liquid splatter could be heard. Cutting the loudspeaker (and the person behind it) off in seconds.
Yukari looked to Miho who was getting rather annoyed, then to the deck where there was 2 undamaged tanks. One, their famous Panzer Vor. The second? A challenger, sent over from England for winning the championship. Mark 1...But maybe...Just maybe...
Yukari gulped as she bottled her fear into her, "Fuck this...Sink or swim...Now or never..." She whispered, balling her hands into fists, releasing them then letting them go again.
Yukari raced out off the tower towards the Panzer IV tank they had won the national championships with, even if the skies were filling up with fire and lightning.
"YUKARIN! GET BACK IN HERE!" Saori shouted but stopped when Miho spun around and raced after her. She looked to Hana, who nodded at her. "Fuck this, if we're gonna die..." The other two raced forwards out of the tower, even as the gun batteries were firing at the planes above them.
Yukari shook her head, hearing the fighter plane behind her go into a dive...It was going to try to kill her before she could get to the tank!
'Good fucking luck asshole...' She thought bitterly, stopping just as she heard the machine gun fire at her. The fighter plane had no choice but to fly into the skies above the carrier again - Which had started moving - Thank fuck according to Yukari.
As the plane flew up, she raced forwards and dove underneath the tank. Before she could get anywhere close to the tanks hatch though, she felt someone pulling on her skirt. She froze, she had NO idea who it was, but whoever it was had a nice...Soothing touch to their hands...And whoever it was, was starting to lay against her...Using her as a shield almost. "Don't move" She heard Miho's voice and her voice halted. She was laying underneath a tank with Miho ON TOP OFF HER.
"If there wasn't anyone trying to kill us, I'd have kissed you by now" Yukari heard a gasp and clamped her mouth shut. 'Now I've done it...'
Miho leaned towards Yukari's left ear. "We can save all that kind of stuff for after this. Right now, I'd prefer to get moving. Wouldn't you!?"
Yukari nodded and the pair peeked out from underneath the tank, trying to get a good judgement as to when to get into the tank itself.
[MEANWHILE - CONTROL ROOM OF THEIR HOME (Carrier-Wise)]
"What did you say!?"
"Those aircraft are rouge's. We've been trying to figure out for ourselves where the hell they've come from!"
The commander of the carrier looked to the American General he had on his screen. "Right now, General, I have personal all over the ship trying to fight them off! I EVEN HAVE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WHO PRACTICE TANKERY OVER HERE!"
"I understand. I'll do what I can to get some help to you. Just hang on!"
The commander nodded. "I don't know how long I can, hang on, for General..."
"Ma'am! Four high school girls are underneath one of the tanks! Four more under the other one!"
"FUCK! Get-"
[Back on the ground]
The carrier began to whir up its air raid siren (encouraging anyone who was fighting fit to fight, the rest to get into the ship).
Miho opened the hatch, then almost immediately ducked and shut it. Before her friends could ask what was the matter - Several pieces of metal hit the hatch...and they sounded EXTREMELY HEAVY.
Mako - Who had decided to sleep IN the tank rather then miss the practice with her friends instantly woke up and drove the tank very quickly as per what Miho had told her. After all, a quick, "GET US THE FUCK OUT OFF HERE!" was not really needing more expression was it?
Yukari looked around as the tank drove over pieces of metal. "Miho...Don't tell me..."
"Yeah...They got the tower"
Saori, Hana, Yukari and a stunned Mako blinked and were shocked to the core. "WHAT!?" They all shouted as Miho nodded, she was crying but she had no choice but to try to organise what little defense they had. "The towe...The tower...Its...Its gone..." She whispered.
An armor piercing missile struck their tank near enough off to the right of the center top, blasting the hatch open and causing Miho to become exposed to whatever fire the enemy wanted.
"STOP YOUR TANK, OR YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!"
Mako stopped the tank in moments and several armoured cars surrounded them.
"W-wh-what are we g-a-going to-o do?" Mako whispered as she turned her attention to Miho, the others looking at Miho with her also.
Miho opened her mouth to talk, but found that a rough hand had wrapped around her mouth, dragged her out of the tank (Forcefully) and thrown her onto the ground before she could talk.
Yukari growled. "FUCKING ASSHOLE!" She shouted as she punched him, only to recieve a bullet to her fist in return. Yukari looked down at her blooded fist as the hatch to her right was forced open.
"Get out." The order caused a now shivering Yukari to get out of the tank, albiet injured and shaking with fear in her eyes.
When the girls had gotten out of the tank, they saw Miho growling with her arms tied behind her back. Spitting into the enemy leader's face. "Now, now. We wouldn't want you to get hurt now would we?" He smirked as he put a knife against her arm lightly, dragging it then stopping when he heard a whimper. He looked to the girls and smirked. "Bring that one to me." He pointed to Yukari who shook her head, "Or would you rather your friend die?" He put the knife underneath Miho's throat, pushing it slightly making blood seep from it, Yukari's eyes began to water, betraying her.
The man smirked. "Ah, hurt your girlfriend did I?"
Yukari walked over to him slowly, even though she was being watch by (almost) 12 armed guards with the aircraft circling their carrier and more reinforcements on the way most like.
"You won't get...Away with this...Our...Coun-"
"You mean her?" He pointed to a girl who was unrecognisable...Except for the small statre...Red twin tails...But that was it...Her body...Well let's just say it was ripped to shreads. (A/N: I can't go into TOO much detail...Even with this story being rated M) "Screamed for ages that girl...Stupid fuck".
Yukari was now next to Miho, she had wrapped her arms around her, the pair were looking at the leader of this enemy with a look of horror and disguist. "What's your name then? Huh?"
"Rastalav...Minkovlova. If you must know I'm from Russia. Not apart of their stupid peace union either, Putin? Obama? Fucking jokes if you ask me. I'll deal with you...Take your carrier, do it up...Then my army can start taking the world...Over. I suppose they should have installed security procedures for you girls...Fucking useless."
Miho started to think on her feet...If they were to survive...Maybe they could turn on the Russian's if they worked with them?
Minkovlova turned around as his guards aimed at her and Yukari, Miho coughed. "Minkovlova! How about we work with you!?" She coughed again, Yukari holding her up, she had a vague idea of what Miho was doing...WHY she was doing so...She had NO idea!
"Now...Why would I want to work..." Minkovlova turned back around. "With a load of high schoolers?"
"Because we know this ship better then you...We know...Ugh...Our language better...We know Japan...We can make it seem like an excercise gone wrong." Miho half smirked, she told a white lie with the last part - She hoped it would work. She let her half smirk go slowly, wanting him to think on it.
"Mmmm..." He rubbed his chin. "Suppose it could...What's your name kid?"
"Miho...Urgh...Miho Nishizumi". She could feel her conciousness failing her, but she wanted to make this work...For her friends sake much less her own!
Minkovlova turned to his second lieuteant who was looking at him with the same sharp eyes. "I think I've heard the name Nishizumi before...Famous if I remember...Famous for tanks correct?"
"That's right" He nodded, Minkovlova turning back around.
"Alright then. You have a deal, you can call me Minkov. That's Slavara. My second in charge. What's your girlfriend's name?"
Miho was about to answer but fell unconcious so Yukari answered for her. "My name is Yukari Akiyama, Sir."
Minkov smirked. "Get you and your friends cleaned up. There's a lot of work to be done...Especially that fucking tower. Slavara? Tell Jeana that if he blows up another FUCKING tower..." He crushed a cup under his leather glove. "I'll fucking kill him personally."
Slavara nodded. "Will do."
[And so chapter 2 will be made when I have free time and time to think on it! =D See you soon...]
