Hey I am back with a new chapter; now just to explain this is Chapter one while the last chapter is like those scenes that come before the opening credits on shows and films.
Anyway I am hoping to get some reviews soon so here is the new chapter.
(Also I like to know how to keep the lines that separate the disclaimer's from the story because they just disappeared, please let me know how to keep them on)
Chapter One: New Dawn
Miho was walking to the school as usual when she heard the sound of a Tank engine revving up behind her. Looking back she was surprised to see the Anglerfish teams Panzer IV Ausf. H approaching from behind and sticking out of the Loader's hatch was Yukari waving at her.
"Miho hop aboard because we aren't stopping!" She cried out while waving both her arms frantically.
Miho chuckled and stepped in the way of the incoming Panzer, as it got closer she jumped and landed on the frontal armor just like Mako did in their first ever training match together before the last championships. Climbing to the command cupola she sat in her chair and to greet her was her team. Mako was driving without looking back, Yukari was checking the shell count, Saori is sitting ready at the radio while Hana sat at the gun controls.
"Hey, why are you all in the Tank so early?"
"Why, why it's because the championships are coming again and I am so eager for it" Yukari quickly replied before anyone can answer Miho's question.
"If you ask me it is too eager and it's getting creepy" Mako said out loud without keeping her eye off the road.
The group laughed as Yukari pulled a face at Mako's head, as they drove down the streets towards the school grounds many people who are already out to do their morning routine's stopped what they are doing and waved as the Panzer IV drove passed. Miho grinned as she waved back at them. It is a good feeling getting greeted by smiles from everyone; after they won the championship's and saved the school from closing down they were treated like heroes. Everyone in the Tankery team was treated like a hero, the celebration party lasted a week to the point that Miho couldn't keep up. As they passed a TV store they noticed that all the flat screens displayed in the window was showing preparations and interviews of the upcoming championships.
"Wait; stop the Tank I need to watch what's happening!" Yukari cried out as she pointed at the store.
"You can wait until we get to the garage, the student council will have set up a TV there already" Saori said bluntly as she text on her phone "And beside's weren't you the one earlier who said we aren't stopping?"
Yukari's face changed colour to a deep red of embarrassment as the crew laughed. After a few moments they entered the training field and entered the garage. Everyone was there and all were watching a TV situated by the School Council's Hetzer. Once they pulled up they joined the rest of their Tankery group and watched as the show continued.
"...and with the high expectations from the fans we all believe that the latest Tankery National Championships will literary blow everyone's mind, now we go to our man on the ground Mr Sakamoto who is interviewing three of the top five's Tankery school's team leader's"
The screen then changed to reveal a man holding a microphone in his hand and with him is three familiar girls, everyone awed in surprise at they recognised Darjeeling, Kay and Erika. Miho eyes widened as she saw Erika on the screen.
"Waitwhere is big sister?" she thought.
"Hello from the ground, I am here with three of the top five Tankery schools and from I can see they are excited for what is coming in the next two weeks so I will ask them their views"
The interviewer first approached Darjeeling.
"Miss Darjeeling of St. Gloriana Acadamy what are your thoughts?"
"My thoughts are that the upcoming championships are going to be an impressive spectacle, new challenge's are to be expected and every teams own individual chivalry are going to play out superbly Mr Sakamoto"
Darjeeling polite as ever gave a warming smile to the camera, no doubt fans of St. Gloriana Academy are getting wide eyed in appreciation to her charming nature.
"Very well put Miss Darjeeling and what are your thoughts Miss Kay of Saunders University?"
As if on cue Kay gave out a huge reply.
"Are you kidding, it's going to be awesome dude, everyone is going to kick butt and no offence to anyone but Saunders are going to kick hard and come on top!"
Kay finished off by giving the camera a cheesy grin and a wink along with giving the victory sign with two fingers. The Girls in the garage laughed at the statement as Miho chuckled.
"Spoken with confidence and I agree along as there won't be any more wire tapping then I am sure Saunders has it the bag"
This statement got both Darjeeling and Erika to laugh slightly as Kay blushed and chuckled nervously whilst rubbing the back of her head. The Garage laughed even harder as they remembered the mach very well has Saunders had them on the run with the wire tapping tactics; fortunately they couldn't tap mobile phones.
"And last but not least Miss Itsumi of Kuromorimine Girls High, as the new leader of the Tankery group of your school you must have a lot on your mind, any thoughts you want to share?"
Miho noticed that Erika looked a little nervous but that disappeared quickly.
"My thoughts are that follows, this championship will be greater that last time and I have no problems believing that the Nishizumi style will regain dominance in the upcoming events, and I also have a message for Ōarai"
She looks to the camera and gives a curt smile.
"We are looking for payback for our previous defeat and we will take the championships"
Everyone cried out in acceptance to the challenge and some even yelled bring it at the top of their voices. Miho however stayed quiet as the same question repeated itself in her head.
"Where is Maho?" she thought.
"Wow that is a strong statement and a challenge as well, wow ok I guess we don't need to ask anymore, wow ok well this is Mr Sakamoto with the commander's from three of the top five schools, back to you at the studio"
The screen changed to a studio with a presenter sitting behind a desk and in front of the National Championships emblem.
"Thank you Mr Sakamoto and now for over news, we received another message from the unknown organisation known only as the Ghost Legion making further demands for the Tankery event to be co-ed allowing boy's to attend Tankery, though this has been brought up in the past many committee members have declared that though there are no rules preventing boys taking part in Tankery it was decided to keep it as a maiden only sport, I am with committee member and school headmistress Shiho Nishizumi to explain the situation"
The screen split into two vertically to reveal the head of Kuromorimine, Miho snapped herself out of her thoughts when she heard her mother's name.
"Lady Nishizumi what are you opinions of the demands of this Ghost Legion group?"
"My opinion is this, they are nothing but a nuisance making empty demands with nothing to show for it, their demands are as empty as them as they appropriately call themselves ghosts, it is fitting as they do not reveal themselves proving that they nothing but air"
"Ok, I take it you take this quite personally"
"Quite so, I take form of change that threatens a perfected tradition as an insult!"
That last part hit Miho hard as she knew that her mother considered her an insult for defying the Nishizumi Style and for defeating them last year.
"Thank you for the feedback to our question Lady Nishizumi and for other news..."
The screen when black as it appeared someone turned it off; everyone looked around to see school council president Anzu along with Momo and Yuzu looking at them.
"Well everyone let's get practicing, we have another championship to win so order's commander?"
Everyone then looked at Miho, originally she would have been nervous but this wasn't the case, looking at them all she smiled.
"Everyone to your Tanks, training will now commence"
A huge cheer went out throughout the garage as everyone ran for their vehicles, the school council approached Miho and Anglerfish Team just as they started to get in.
"Hey commander a word if you please"
Miho was puzzled but she jumped of the Panzer to meet with anyway.
"Hey Anzu, is there something wrong?"
Anzu shook her head.
"Nope just concerned, that was your mother on the TV just then so are you ok?!
Miho was quite at first but gave a smile quickly.
"It's ok I'm fine, just a little surprised but I'm more interested with the conversation they has, what is this Ghost group?"
"Legion" Momo corrected "And as far as we know it's an unknown group demanded that boys should also take part in Tankery that appeared a month ago, other than that we don't know"
"Are they cute?"
The group turned to see Saori poking her head out of the side hatch of the turret.
"Sorry?"
"I asked if they are cute then if they are, oh they will see my Tankery skills and may even treat me like a goddess, what if one asks me to marry him, what if they all do" Saori spoke with wonder and stars in her eyes.
The group and those in the tank just sweat-dropped and chuckled slightly, Mako stood up and started to poke Saori in the forehead.
"Earth to Saori hello"
"Eek stop that Mako"
The laughter that followed was short but kind, the school council returned to the Hetzer and soon everyone was ready. Miho equipped her headset and stood in the command cupola. All eight tank teams are ready and waiting for Miho's next order. With the sun shining through the garage door and onto her face she took a deep breath.
"Ok everyone, Panzer Vor!"
Couple days later outside of the Tankery Broadcast Centre.
It was late at night as a couple of shadows walked down the pavement towards the Broadcast Centre which is where the matches and schedules are decided. As they reached the door one of them bent down and began to pick the lock.
"Hurry up; we need to get in there now" one said quietly in a thick Russian accent.
"I am going as fast as I can you Russian prick, it takes patience to pick a lock and making it look like it was never picked!" replied the other in a American accent.
"The Legion Kommandant needs those broadcast lines and Tankery match zones quickly, so stop dawdling and move it Schnell!" another spoke in a German accent.
"Alright, I got done!" The door opened as the locked was picked and they began to enter "Oliver you stay here and keep watch while I and the rest get the stuff"
The one called Oliver stepped outside and nodded.
"Ok yank and hurry up, I am pretty sure that if anyone passes by and sees a British teenager standing guard at a open door to the Tankery centre are sure going to get suspicions so be quick!"
"Oh lighten up Limey"
As Oliver took watch the others moved towards the nearest stairs and headed for the central control room, wasn't easy as everything is in Japanese but they found it eventually. Entering the room they found hard drives and filing cases.
"Ok link the note pad to the hard drive and get the data"
"Ok Ivan ok, jeez lighten up"
The American took a note pad out of his backpack and connected it to the Main Server. Starting the note pad up he waited for a second until a face appeared.
"Hey Tojo get your hack started"
"Don't call me Tojo Connor it's...never mind it is a stupid codename anyway, I am commencing the hack, wait a moment"
A web box appeared at first black then number's started to appear with a loading bar.
"Heinrich go help Oliver, both me and Ivan got this"
The German teenager nodded before sprinting down the hall, the Russian called Ivan kept watch at the doorway with the American called Conner waited for the load bar to fill. Once done the face of the hacker appeared again on screen.
"Download successful, all data is collected and I also hacked the security main frame so the security cameras did not pick you guys up"
"Nice work Takeo, we are returning now"
Once said he disconnected the note pad and turned it off and both he and Ivan sprinted to the exit, once there they regrouped with their two other member's.
"Any problems?" Ivan asked.
"Nein, coast is clear for now"
Closing the door Connor knelt down again to the lock to lock it to give it the impression that it was never opened. Once done all four of them sprinted into the darkness.
Well here is chapter one, I hope I explained things clearly before and I should also mention a few things, Italic are what's happening on a phone or TV and Italic and Bold are thoughts.
Hope that was helpful and I will upload another chapter soon
Panzer Vor!
