Rin Kaenbyou wasn't even awake yet, and she could tell she wan't in Former Hell.

The air was too crisp; too cool. Former Hell had a relatively humid and hot environment, while this place seemed like the surface world.

Opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of leaves. Lush, green leaves, like the ones on the surface.

Sitting up, she surveyed her surroundings. To her left was a lot of forest, and to her right was a large stone building, with a roof made of metal and glass. Next to that building was a wooden tower. And right behind her was her cart, the one she used to cart people to Hell.

Picking up her cart, she moved it over to that large stone building. She peered inside it.

There was a table in the middle of the room, along with a large metal... object. Walking over to the table, she noticed a piece of paper on it with somethings written on it.

Picking it up, she started reading it.

If you are wondering why you are here, we accidentally intercepted a WWW-code, and pulled you from your world. We are currently trying to fix the problem, but we cannot guarantee anything. We have provided you with an M18 Gun Motor Carriage to protect yourself, and supplies.

~Gaijin

Rin did not understand who this 'Gaijin' was, or what an 'M18 Gun Motor Carriage' was. All she knew was that she was not in Gensoukyou anymore. Looking at the large metal object, which she presumed was this 'M18 Gun Motor Carriage', she noticed that it looked nothing like a carriage. It had a large round piece at the top, and a pole sticking out of the top. The sides had these chains linked together over the wheels.

She walked over to the vehicle, and a large screen suddenly appeared. It showed a bunch of funny icons she didn't recognize, and realizing the screen disappeared if she gestured her hand down, she climbed on top of it.

Inside was a bunch of strange equipment, and there was an instruction manual of sorts. She started reading the first part.

This instruction manual will teach you the basics of driving the M18 Gun Motor Carriage, or more commonly known as the 'Hellcat'.

Rin smiled at the pun. She skimmed through the manual before putting it back in its pouch. She climbed off the Hellcat.

And then, she saw someone she recognized.

"Okuu!" she yelled, running towards the Hell Raven.

"Orin!" Utsuho Reiuji exclaimed, catching Rin in her arms. "What are you doing here?"

"I can ask the same thing," Rin replied.

After the two embraced each other in a hug, Rin asked,"So where do you think we are, Okuu?"

"Beats me," Utsuho replied. "I woke up near a large metal object just earlier."

"Large metal object?" Rin asked. "May I see it?"

Utsuho lead Rin to another large stone building. Inside was another metal object.

"I read a book on the inside of it and it was called a B-29-40-MO Superfortress plane, whatever that is."

It didn't look anything like the 'Hellcat' Rin saw.

"What do you think we do with these, Okuu?" Rin asked.

Utsuho said,"I think I read somewhere in that book that we control it or something."

"Control them? How do you think we do that?"

Utsuho shrugged.

The two stood in silence for a moment.

"Do you think... we'll ever see Ms. Satori ever again?" Utsuho said.

Rin didn't answer that.

As if on cue, a book fell onto Rin's head.

"Ow~! Nyaaa, where did that come from?" Rin asked, rubbing the spot on her head the book hit and looking up.

Utsuho picked up the book, and looked at the cover. It said, on the front, Basics for Controlling 'Specialized' Armored Vehicles and Aircraft.

"Orin, this book says something about controlling... the metal objects! Do you want to read it?"

Rin took the book and opened it up to the first page. Rin proceeded to read it out loud.

These vehicles, unlike normal ones in this world, are specialized for those that lack the knowledge to control them. Their controls are much simpler, more responsive, and they, themselves, are buffed compared to their normal counterparts.

Controlling these vehicles are simple. When you get inside of the vehicle, a panel will pop up asking if you want to control the vehicle. Your real body would immediately lose consciousness inside the vehicle, protected by a layer of lightweight and tough armor. Meanwhile, your consciousness is transferred to control the vehicle. It may feel strange at first, however controlling it is as natural as controlling one's own body.

When your consciousness is 'in' a vehicle, you would be seeing your vehicle at a third-person view - from the outside.

Please note, you are capable of returning consciousness back to your original body anytime when in tank consciousness.

These are the list of things the M18 Gun Motor Carriage can do while you control it:

1. Move forwards, backwards, and turn

2. Turn the turret clockwise or counterclockwise

3. Fire the main gun

4. Load different shell types in it

5. Fire machine gun

Here is a list of things the B-29-40-MO Superfortress can do while you control it:

1. Control aircraft speed

2. Manually control MG turrets

3. Drop bombs

4. Control aircraft direction

5. Landing

Rin stopped reading there, because she now wanted to experiment.

"Okuu, I'll be back, alright? Just hold this book for now."

Utsuho held the book with her one hand as Rin ran over to the M18 'Hellcat'. Rin jumped into it, and a screen suddenly popped up in front of her.

It said Do you want to convert to tank form? Yes or No

Rin tapped her finger onto the Yes button, and she instantly blacked out.

After what felt like no time at all, she could see again, but in a different way. She saw the 'Hellcat' as it was from the outside. She was moving it as if it was her own body.

Driving it forwards, she drove out of the large building and to where Utsuho was.

Utsuho, upon seeing the large metal 'beast', readied herself in a defensive stance. She was about to fire from her Arm Cannon, however Rin was able to speak, somehow.

"Wait, don't fire, Okuu!"

Rin noticed that, although her voice didn't change much compared to the original, it sounded off slightly. Almost like she was trying to speak through a paper wall.

Utsuho lowered her weapon. "Orin? Is that you..?"

"Of course it's me! I'm just controlling this right now," Rin replied back. She decided to stop controlling the tank and climbed out. "It's a little weird controlling it, though," Rin said in her normal voice. "There's also other stuff listed in that book. I want to read it to see if there's any info I missed."

Utsuho handed the book back to Rin, and she read the next part.

For easy mobility and to consume less fuel, you can convert to Person Mode on these specialized vehicles. In Person Mode, the armor is all compacted onto the person themself; Because of this, the armor is only as strong as the person is durable. The weapons the vehicles use would not be possible to be wielded by Humans, as the recoil of them is too great. However, as you two are not human, you would be able to withstand the recoil.

"Can I try this time, Orin?" Utsuho asked, pointing at the Superfortress. Rin nodded.

Utsuho climbed into the large metal vessel, and Rin waited patiently outside. After about a minute, the large vehicle just... shrunk.

In the middle was Utsuho. Over her normal outfit, she was wearing what looked like metal pieces on her arms and legs. On her back was a metal backpack, and extending out of her midsection was what looked like two metal wings with two protrusions on the front of each, with a propeller on the front of the protrusions.

On her head was a helmet with a little stick pointing out, along with others on other parts of her body. On her back was a small metal dome with two sticks pointing out of the back.

"Look! I can control these, Orin!" Utsuho exclaimed as the little 'stick' things moved around. "And they shoot danmaku, too!"

The 'sticks' made loud cracking sounds and what looked like extremely fast danmaku flew out.

"I can also fly with this, according to that panel I read earlier!" Utsuho looked at her raven wings. "Though, it's a little redundant."

Rin looked at Utsuho, then the Hellcat, then at herself. Scratching her head, she asked,"What is this place? And what do we do here?"

"I don't know. But for sure it isn't going to be boring!" Utsuho exclaimed.

Rin read the last line in the book.

The ability to change to Person Mode will be useful in getting out of sticky situations, however do not let anyone else see you do so. They will attempt to report you to the higher authority, which is us, Gaijin, and we don't really want to deal with over a hundred reports about 'hackers.' Also, some of our staff aren't so well informed, so they might pose a threat to you if you are not careful.

Be aware.

Author's Note:

Quite the unique story, am I right? I might be the first person to do something like this.

Rin's vehicle is going to be an M18 Gun Motor Carriage, or more commonly known as a Hellcat. I think that name in itself explains. If you want exact specifics, Rin's Hellcat has the 76mm AT Gun M1A2, with the M18 M34A1 Turret.

Now, Utsuho being a B-29-40-MO Superfortress... you need to know a bit about World War II to get it, and the Manhattan Project. Basically, the US made two nuclear bombs, and they did not have any planes to carry it, so they made a B-29 Bomber model called the "Silverplate". It was just a B-29 with a lot of its weight taken off - most of the guns and some equipment. So Utsuho can either load normal bombs with all gunners, or *one* nuclear bomb with only one gunner.
