Chapter 2:- Scar
-The sound of an engine roar could be heard as the sight of Russian tanks by Pravda's school were driving across an open grass plain-
Katyusha: Nonna. Keep an eye out on those guys, I'm not going to lose my reputation to a bunch of stuck up boys who think they're the best just because they beated Darjeeling and her tanks!
Nonna: Of course.
Katyusha: We'll snuff them out with like how the Russians did in Stalingrad!
The other team members: URA!
"Расцветали яблони и груши,
Поплыли туманы над рекой.
Выходила на берег Катюша,
На высокий берег на крутой.
Выходила, песню заводила
Про степного, сизого орла,
Про того, которого любила,
Про того, чьи письма берегла.
Ой ты, песня, песенка девичья,
Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед.
И бойцу на дальнем пограничье
От Катюши передай привет.
Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую,
Пусть услышит, как она поёт,
Пусть он землю бережёт родную,
А любовь Катюша сбережёт."
-Katyusha's T-34-85 would then stop as all of Pravda's tanks stop in formation. Katyusha would look around with a confused look on her face to see her tanks stop-
Katyusha: H-Hey! Why are we stopping?! I didn't give the order to stop! -The sound of a loud playing radio was then heard from across the hilltop that was in front of Katyusha, the young girl would turn her attention to the hilltop and look up as her eyes widened at the sight of 8 Kaizan tanks pointing their guns at the members of Pravda's tanks as the song "Instruments of Destruction" was being played by the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t-
"Iron birds of fortune
Adrift above the skies
Cloudy revelations
Unseen by naked eyes
Flying tools of torment
Will penetrate the sphere
Erupt the rock of ages
Bringing final fear
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power plays
It's a violent eruption
Existence drips away
Whats it really matter
When nothing really counts
Grave eternal darkness
When drained of every ounce
And when the nightmare's over
The final from the storm
Dust of all creation
To ashes we transform
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power plays
It's a violent eruption
Existence drips away (x3)"
Katyusha: All unis fir- -Before she could finish her sentence to command her members, the members of Kaizan had fired their cannons a few seconds faster before Katyusha could give the command. Slowly, one by one, Katyusha was losing T-34s and T-85s by the second- Tch! Darn it! Nonna!
Nonna: Ura. -She said softly as she manned the gun on the IS-2. The cannon would turn and aimed at the Leopard I. As Nonna was about to pull the trigger, she gasped softly as her eyes widened at the sight of an IS-7 driving by the Leopard and covered the Leopard as it had pointed its gun at Nonna. Nonna would quickly press the trigger and fired her cannon at the IS-7 but the shell did not do enough damage to cause it to trigger its white flag, Nonna was shocked until the IS-7 fired its cannon at Nonna's IS-2, causing the IS-2 to release its white flag-
Katyusha: Oh no! Nonna! Tch! Giganto! Get rid of them!
-The KV-2 would rush up to the front with its giant sized body and aimed its cannon at the IS-7 and fired, the IS-7 along with the Leopard quickly drove away and dodged the attack but did not fire back until the sound of a sharp metallic scream was heard as a shell would explode onto the KV-2, causing the giant to release its white flag-
Katyusha: I-I forgot about their artillery! -Katyusha panicked as she raised her head out of the tank's sights and saw that she was surrounded by all of Kaizan's tanks- I...I...
-The Leopard I would then get up close to the T-34-85 and aimed the tip of its cannon at the neck of the Russian tank and fired, causing the Russian tank to release its white flag-
Announcer: All tanks of Pravda High School has been defeated! Kaizan Private High School is victorious!
-The sound of a remote was then heard as a button was pressed as the video paused. The sight of Miho along with a few other girls were watching the video were in the Student council room together as they discussing about the members of Kaizan-
Kawashima: Nishizumi. We need you to think of a plan to beat them.
Miho: I-I don't think it'll be that simple..
Anzu: We don't need a plan, Kawashima~ We need to gather information about the members and how they plan to fight because they always fight differently throughout every match against other schools.
Noriko: Is there anyone that you know that might have information about him?
Saori: What about Erikachi?
Miho: Erika-san? I don't think it's a wise decision to ask her.
Yukari: Um.. -She slowly raised her hand up to speak-
Anzu: What's up Akiyama?
Yukari: If I may. Maybe i can enter their school the same way I did with Saunders and Anzio and get some information about them.
Kawashima: That's a good idea.
Miho: Thank you for offering, Yukari-san but you can't go into their school.
Yukari: Eh? Why not?
Erwin: It's an all-boys school, do you look like a boy or sound like one?
Yukari: Buu~
Anzu: If we need a girl who looks like a boy then maybe we can ask Isobe to go in Akiyama's stead~
Noriko: E-Eh?! M-Me?! W-Why?!
Anzu: Your short hair and flat body makes you look like a boy after all~ No offense! Hahaha!
Noriko: F-Flat body...
Miho: Ah but her height will make her stand out.
Anzu: Really now?
Miho: Most of the guys at Kaizan are taller than us, if they noticed a short male that is below 150cm, they'll think that Noriko-san is actually a girl.
Kawashima: God! What the hell?! Why do they have to be guys?! Can't they have breasts and be girls like us?!
Yuzu: M-Momo-chan, you're being loud..
Miho: Hehehe.. -She laughed nervously-
Erwin: Perhaps I should go.
Kawashima: No way in hell, we'll send you.
Erwin: What?! Why not?!
Kawashima: Your damn 8th grader syndrome will make you stand out more than Isobe and Akiyama-san!
Erwin: Then do you have any other idea, genius?!
Kawashima: I don't know! Let me think!
Miho: U-Um! I-I have an idea!
Kawashima & Erwin: Huh?! -They'd both look at Miho with an angry look on their face-
Anzu: Now now~ Calm down you two~ Now what is the idea, Nishizumi-chan?
Miho: I'll head back home at Black Forest Peak and ask Onee-chan. Personally.
Saori: She already didn't want to tell you before, what makes you think she'll tell you again?
Miho: Because it's Onee-chan! That's who she is! -She said with a smile on her face as Saori would look at her with a confused look on her face-
Kawashima: I guess that's the only best choice that we have for now.
Erwin: It seems so.
-Within the next following day, Miho was walking down the street that lead her to her old home as she was back at her old island home and as she was walking, she saw her mother walking out of the house. Miho would look at her with a worried look on her face as Miho was worried that her mother might say something mean to her, the mother would then walk towards Miho and patted her head lightly with a smile on her face as Miho looked up at her with a slightly confused look-
Miho: M-Mom?
Shiho: Welcome back home, Miho. Take as much time as you need, okay?
Miho: O-Okay! -Her mother would then walk away and head to work as Miho looked back to see her mother as Miho went back into her home to find her sister. As Miho entered the house, she was greeted by their family dog and walked further into the traditional Japanese house and saw that Maho was in the living room in her casual clothes and was reading a book. Maho would look to the side and saw Miho- O-Onee-chan.
Maho: Miho?
-After minutes of Miho explaining the situation to Maho, her older sister would sigh softly and look at Miho and saw that Miho was being serious-
Miho: P-Please? Tell me, Onee-chan, it's for our school's sake..
Maho: A-All right but it's a long story.
Miho: I'm all ears, Onee-chan!
Maho: Two years ago before Kaizan Private High School stopped joining in Tank competitions, they were the second best school in tank competitive matches, right after Black Forest Peak and they were affiliated with the Black Forest Peak school. Back then, I was still a first year, so was Jun. The two of us were the closest of everything and anything else. We'd compete against other schools together in tag team matches and merge victorious until one day, both of our schools had to compete against each other for the rank of number one on the list. Kaizan's original tactic was always assassination, they'd take out the heavy tanks from a distance while the main team would attack from the front, but against the Black Forest Peak..
Miho: They were defeated completely?
Maho: No. It would have been a tie but Jun got hurt in the match and because of his wounds, the team had to forfeit, so we won by default.
Miho: Eh? He got hurt? How?
Maho: My tank fired a shell right onto his tank and from the shot, caused a few bits of his Leopard's armour to shatter and from shattering, the shards cut his right cheek, creating a large wound on his cheek.
Miho: I guess that explains the scar then..
Maho: Yes. After that specific day, he hated me and stopped talking to me and would always avoid me..
Miho: Eh?! T-That's just mean and rude! What you did was unintentional! Or was it?
Maho: It was intentional.
Miho: W-What? Why? Why would you do that?
Maho: J-Jun understood everything of the Black Forest Peak! He was the most dangerous of the first years in Kaizan as well! I-I had no choice, we needed our school to be at the top..
Miho: I-I see. W-What was he like when you two were still friends?
Maho: He was kind, smiley, charming, funny and a gentleman. He'd always watch over me and take care of everyone in Black Forest Peak even though he has nothing to do with our Tank teams. When we're practising to fight against other schools, he'd bring food and drinks for the girls and hear them vent or complain about how tough the training was. He'd head them all out and cheer them up with a big smile on his face, he was extremely cheerful and energetic, like an actual boy. -She said with an innocent smile on her face as there was a slight blush on her cheeks. Miho saw the expression Maho was showing as Miho was surprised until she asked-
Miho: O-Onee-chan!
Maho: Hmm?
Miho: W-Was he important to you..?
Maho:...Very..
Miho: What does he mean to you?
Maho:...E-Everything..
Miho: Were you two...Dating? -Maho would look away from Miho as she blushed- W-Wow, did Mom know?
Maho: She did but she didn't mind. I still remember the time when he first came over to the house when you went out with your friends during summer. We'd chat and laugh together right in this very room and enjoy every second of our time together here..
Miho: Why did you two break up?
Maho: I...I broke up with him before our match as I told him that if we were still together when we fight against each other, none of us would take the match seriously and we would not go all out as well.
Miho: Onee-chan...
Maho: I'm sorry to tell you this Miho but the way Kaizan school fights now is very different from before as their older commanders in the past followed the ways of fighting from the book while Jun does it differently. He's really unpredictable and intelligent. He's very different from Shimada Alice and the other school commanders.
Miho: I-I see.. -Maho saw the depressed look Miho was showing and felt bad for her slightly-
Maho: B-But I do know three schools that you can head to, to ask about him and his fighting techniques.
Miho: Eh? R-Really?
Maho: Anchovy and Pepperoni from Anzio. Those two are quite close with Jun. Darjeeling from St. Gloriana is good friends with Jun as well and the last one is quite peculiar and not really a good choice to ask information from but you could still get more out of her than the last three girls.
Miho: Hmm? Who?
Maho: Mika from Jatkosota Girls High School.
Miho: Mika-san? Why Mika-san?
Maho: There are rumours going around the entire society of Tank competitive matches, saying that Mika and Jun are dating, although I'm not so sure that the two are actually together as Mika doesn't seem like the type who would have a boyfriend.
Miho: A-Ah right. I-I'll ask her some time then.
Maho: Miho.
Miho: Yes?
Maho: Be careful, Jun is much more horrifying than Shimada Alice and Mom. No matter how strong you are, he will find a way to make you and everyone you love cower in fear.
Miho: H-He only became like that after that match, Onee-chan! D-Don't worry! I'll find a way to bring him back to normal!
Maho: Please do, there's nothing that I can do now..
Miho: I'll try my best!

Did you know that Kaizan Private High School actually has more than 9 tanks? They have over 20-30 tanks available and have the numbers to man all of the tanks to overwhelm their opponents but Jun does not like overpowering his opponent with numbers as he likes to take one tank out at a time, starting from the most powerful tank to the weakest.
