Chapter 2: How to train your tank crew part 1
"… Not from a Jedi"
~~~~Darth Sidious ~~~~
"Panzer IV ausf D. … one of the German's Armored Division's pride… It's a beauty~~~" said Miho as she rubs her cheek agaisnt the surface of the old tank which was indentified as a German Panzer IV with a short barreled 75mm main gun.
Hana seems kind of grossed out as she said "Mi-Miho… do-don't do that…" as she look at Grady who was welding the carterpiller track back together. He was wearing a WWII welding mask and was sitting next to Gordo, who was holding his tool box.
Don and Norman was setting up the chairs, a small makeshift table from one of the empty crates in the Hangar.
Miho then climbs into the cockpit to find Bible, who was checking to see if there're any mechanism,buttons, clutches, levers that needed repair with a small flash light. He seems to know Miho was coming in as he said while checking the main cannon trigger "It's pretty dusty, filled with cobweb and… uh, a family of spiders seems to have make a home out of the gunner seat…"
Bible then turn off the flashlight and continue "And eh… a little mice is living in here, so you might wanna evict it later…but no repairs required… Man I love German Engineering.."
Miho nodded and gladly said "Phew… Thank you mister Bible, sorry for all the troubles.."
Bible and Miho then exited the tank with Bible saying "No biggie… since we're sharing the same house now, we could really help each other out…to be honest, we.. don't know much about Japan… you know, the culture and everything…"
The two then saw the Student councilmen just returns to their hangar with a large group of students, who seems to have joined the Sensha-do club aswell.
The other girls, seems to be in groups, as they each wore matching uniform correspond to each team. They seems frustrated as one of them asked "Seriously… Is this the only Tank we have…left?"
Anzu shrugged "Not really, there are other tanks scattered around Ooarai… after we closed the program years ago, they..were kind of…forgotten.."
The girl who wearing the Afrika Korps uniform and officer hat sighs "So are you saying that we…have to look for them?"
Anzu pat her on the shoulder and said "Oh C'mon, how hard could it be?"
A while later, as Miho was walking along the school yard, she can feel someone following her. The girl quickly turn around to see the girl with a short curly dark brown hair hiding behind the tree. The girl jumped once she realized Miho found out she was following her.
Miho awkwardly asked "Uhm… can I…help you?"
The girl shyly said "Oh..I eh.. um… I…miss Nishizumi, my name is Y-Yukari Akiyama.. and …and…"
The girl, whose name seems to be Yukari then continued in a rapid dialtect "..I'mabigfanofyouandiwaswonderingifIcanjoinyourcrew… please?"
Miho didn't think twice before she gave Yukari a warm smile "Sure"
Yukari eyes were filled with twinkling stars as she bowed "Thank you miss Nishizumi! I won't let you down I promise"
Miho then asked "Yukari, I eh… I'm looking for more tanks for the club… coul..could you help me?"
Yukari shrieked with joy as she replied "Ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod~~~ Yess~~~"
…
Tank hunting montage~~~
The first tank was located on an old abandoned road, being flipped over for some reasons. Apart from that, the vehicle was filled with mosh, dust and bird poop.
Grady,Yukari, Miho and Anzu found it as they were wandering around the school's perimeter. The three was looking at it in shock for a bit before Grady said blankly "You girls have any crowbar I can use?"
The second tank was located inside of a small cave, in a tall cliff with no possible foot entrance, so Don, MoMo and the Afrika Korps uniform girl have to access the cave by rope.
Once inside, Don gesture his hand at the tank, for some unknown reason lying inside of a place that no human can access without climbing down and look at the two girls with great confusion as he said "Just… H-How?"
The Afrika Korps uniform girl took off her officer hat and said "I think the question here is… how on earth can we get this thing out…and up THERE?"
Don shrugged "I dunno'… carry it out?"
The third tank was located under a deep lake, Bible, Momo,Saori and Hana brough an antique 1882 diving suit and appointed Bible to dive down and pinpoint the tank's exact location.
Once his armored feet touches the bottom of the lake, Bible begin to move,slowly due to the movement restricted nature of the suit, it wasn't long until he finally stumbled into the tank,now being the house for many small fishes.
Bible then talk into the radio that was built into his helmet "Uh guys… I found it…"
Up on the surface, Momo spoke into the radio "Splendid, we'll send the crane over soon… just stay there for…"
Suddenly Bible's voice from the radio cuts her off "Wait… something just swim by behind me,…It could be a big fish or a- What the HECK? …No, No… No, stay back! Stay back… nice lake monster…nice lake monster… YAHHHHHH!"
Before Momo can say anything back, the three girls saw the tank emerged from below the surface, being thrown up by some incredible force. Which turns out to be Bible, who have just climb on to the surface, panic as hell.
Incredibly, the fear actually caused Bible to display ridiculous superstrenght when he grabbed and threw the tank to the surface. Before the girls can help him up while still shock from what he just did, Bible, agaisnt every logical matters, just shot up and ran while he screams as fast as he can away from the lake, while still wearing that heavy, movement restricted diving suit.
The fourth tank was placed inside of a locked storehouse within the school perimeter, they can see it from a small hole in the wall, however the lock seems pretty tough, with industrial chain and a thick padlock.
Gordo, Norman and some girls from the volleyball team found it, and now, Gordo have to find a way to open the padlock. He and Norman started with a bolt cutter, after many attempts, both guys look back at the bolt cutter too see that not only it didn't put any dent on the chain, the chain actually put dents on the cutting blades.
Their second attempt was with a battering ram made of a log, the girls help Gordo and Norman held the log and ran as fast as they can, thanks to their status as skilled athletics the girls shows to have oustanding cardio while Gordo have a hard time breathing after 4 unsuccessful rams.
Their third attempt began to get risky, Gordo was reving up a chainsaw while the others seems nervous as they look on.
The chubby guy raised the chainsaw in the air and yelled "FOR DOMINO'S!" and charge toward the gate.
The girls and Norman awkwardly look on as sawing sounds can be heard from the background for a moment before a loud metallic snap came up and Gordo shouted "Heads UP!" before they all ducked to avoid the chainblades flew past their head.
"Uhhh… Garcia…yo-you shouldn't do this…I mean.. I'm sure there're more tanks around.. you know, we don'thave to go for this one…" pleaded Norman as he and the girls worryingly look at Gordo placing sticks of dynamites around the storehouse with a crazed look on his face.
Gordo replied while he lightes the charges "Norman… no locks have ever defy me before..and none of them ever will…"
One of the girls said "Nor-Norman's right mister Garcia, we shou…"
Gordo swung his head at them and answered with a deep,calm, demonic voice "None of them…" which scared the group, before he ran away from the charges and shouts "HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTSS!"
…
A large explosion broke the peaceful air of the town soon after Gordo shouts.
Grady, who have somehow managed to flip the tank over with only a crowbar seems to have heard the explosion as he look at the source for a bit but decided to ignore it and said to Miho and Yukari,who was looking at him with awe and disbelief proudly "See, Told ya I can flip this baby over…see the trick is to…"
The scene quickly switch to Don, who have miraculously, with the Afrika Korps uniform girl's help, get the tank up to the surface despite this goes agaisnt all things that was logical.
Don then tap the tank surface and said "You know it's easier than I though…"
Just then he heard the explosion aswell, Don look around for a bit, took a couple of sniff and said "pardon… I have chilly fries this morning…"
The scene then switch to Bible, who was taking off his bulky dive suit with the help of MoMo, who also hears the explosion, the guy sighs "Dammit Gordo's at it again…"
…
Back to Gordo's group, who have just got out of their cover, with Gordo's face covered with soot and Norman's hair was blown backward from the shockwave, same goes for the girls hair.
The moment the smoke cleared, the storehouse walls was completely destroyed,leaving the tank exposed, unharm by the blast. Though what's baffled them is the front door, and the chains, padlock still intact though covered with soot, but they're intact. Gordo then said,shaking his fist "You win this round you dirty rotten lock…" with a irritated,threatening voice.
…
Back at the Hangars…
"Okkk… we got a Panzer 38, a StuG. III Ausf .F, a Type 89 I-Go, and a M3 Lee.. Not bad… not bad at all.." Anzu nodded with content as she look at the gang's finds.
Momo gently touches the surface of the Panzer 38 for a moment before she said "Well then, let's not waste anymore time…"
Anzu nodded strongly with a enthusiastic grin "Yep, we'll take this one"
The Afrika Korps then pointed at the stuG. III and declared "Then our team will take this one.."
There was a another girl in her team with short black hair and a paticular red scarf around her neck,being wore in a manner much like an ancient Roman who look at Don and Miho's crew then said with a calm voice "Oh, since we're gonna be on the same club, might as well introduce ourselves.."
The red scarf girl put one hand on her chest and said "My name Takako Suzuki, but I would prefer to be called Ceasar.."
Grady smirked as he lean agaisnt the Sherman "Add about 30 stab holes and I'll gladly calls you Caesar"
Obviously his joke was uncalled for, but it doesn't seems to affect Takako whatsoever, though Don, who was standing behind Grady, wasn't amuse with that off-color joke as Don slap him upside his head and said "Seriously Grady?" with an irritated voice.
The Afrika Korps uniform girl then proudly said "Just call me Erwin, I'm In charge of this team"
Grady once again decided to pull one of his jokes by saluting her with a Nazi salute, which once again had the upside of his head slapped,this time by a spatula by Don for his crude sense of humor.
Then a girl dressing in a volleyball uniform said "We'll take the Type 89… oh by the way, I'm Noriko Isobe"
Then a girl with dark brown hair and eyes, wearing normal school uniform, with a seemingly shy demeanor said "Uh.. I guess there's only the M3 Lee left, so we'll take it… M-my name is Azusa Sawa… Nice to meet you all" before she bowed to everyone.
Anzu then look back at the tanks and said "Ok~~~ now that we've know each other… time to clean these babies"
She then turns to MoMo and said "Get me some soaps, brushes, some Tank weekly magazines…and a firetruck.."
…
Miho and Don's crew was helping the other crews cleaning their vehicles. Ridiculously, MoMo actually got hold of a fire truck and uses it as a water source for the girls.
While most of crews are scrubbing their socks off, Anzu can be seen making herself comfortable on one of Don's lounge chair,reading Tank Weekly magazine.
Miho, Yukari, Saori and Hana was panicking as they hears Bible screaming inside of their Panzer IV "Holy Meatballs on the spaghetti monster! It got me,It got mee~~~~, Hey, I need that finger! OW my eye! It's nibbling my eye!Oh Holy Jebus Helpppp~~~~ It's in my pantss!" seems like he was attempting to "evict" the little mice he mentioned earlier, and obviously the mice didn't co-opporate.
Don, Norman, Grady and Gordo was helping Miho scrubbing the Panzer IV's surface with their jackets and shirts off, the guys only wears tanktops and their dogtags, exposing their well built torsos, except for Gordo and Norman, Norman was actually pretty thin and smooth while Don have the most muscles in the who gang. Whether intentional or not, his appearance did made a couple of girls in Noriko's crew to take a glance or two.
Norman was frozen with his face all red as he stared at Yuzu, who was wearing a white bikini as she clean her crew's tank,while quite an odd choice of outfit to wear during a time like this, it really brings out her beautiful body, mostly her chest.
Grady leaned next to Norman's face then look at the direction he was looking before he laughed after understanding what's going on. The mechanic then shouted at Yuzu "Hey dollface, I think your body killed his brain… He's a virgin by the way!" before he walk away, still laughing, leaving Yuzu dumbfounded with her face just as red as Norman who remained frozen still. From afar, Don's spatula can be seen flying straight at Grady, hitting him upside his head once more.
…
After hours of backbreaking hard work, the tanks are sparkly clean. Anzu then said to everyone "Alright guys, good job… The instructor should be here tomorrow,that's when your training will begin, get some shut eyes 'aight?"
Once the other crews left, Miho then said to Don "Well uh… we'll see each other tomorrow mister Collier…I'll be heading home then"
Don nodded as he said "You make sure you get some sleep 'aight?"
Bible smiled at Miho "You better do it, he knows exaustion when he sees it.."
Miho, touches by Don's consideration gave him a warm smile and said "I will, Th-thank you" before she, Yukari, Hana and Saori walk way.
Don can hear Saori teases Miho "Oooooo~~~ sounds like the 'Wardaddy' got hooked on you, I'm jealous Miho"
Miho can be heard saying "It's not like that Saori, we've just met like… almost a day, oh by the way, I should stop by that Tank shop… we need a new set of wheels, you guys wanna go with me?"
Yukari's fangirl shriek can be heard from the distance as Miho said it.
Don chuckled as he heard the convo and went back to his crew.
…
At the tank shop, Miho and the girls was browsing around the shelves. The establishment offers a wide variety of goods, clothes, wheels, military equipments of all sorts, the shop even sells Tank figures.
Seems like the girls haven't found anything that strike their liking yet, however a sudden interview comes up on the shop's TV caught their attention. They saw a girl on the screen, dressed in black Nazi uniform, highly resemble a Gestapo uniform, with similar hair as Miho but with dark brown color. In fact, she's look nearly indentical as Miho, aside from the cold expression on her face as she answer the interviewer's questions.
Miho seems to recognize the girl as she look down,away from the TV,with sadness in her eyes.
That night, the girls happily spends a pleasant evening at Miho's apartment before they parted ways.
…
Meanwhile, Don's crew host parents home…
The host parents, both around early 40s,look quite young for their age, happily married couple, nothing quite stands out from their general appearances beside the fact that they seems to enjoy watching the 5 teenage foreigners, in their matching jammies, sleeping next to one another. More ridiculously, Don was lying on the far right, hugging a pillow, while Norman hugged him from behind, then Grady hugged Norman from behind, then comes Bible, and then Garcia.
It's like watching an adorable snoring huggy train. The wife, who was wearing a red,short sleeping dress, and possess a very firm and fitted body silently said to her husband "Aw~~~ just like us when we just got married"
Her eyes then lit up as she said "You wanna relive our… honeymoon~~~?" with a naughty smile.
The husband who was wearing a striped pajama then pleaded "Oh c'mon Sayako, we've been married for 20 years now can't we just be friends?"
His wife, Sayako replied "No, I don't like you, I just wanna have sex with you" before she dragged her husband back to their bedroom, despise his attempt to wiggle out of her grip.
…
The next day…
"Oh no oh no oh no oh no~~~! I'm gonna be late" Miho squeeled as she ran down the stairs after exiting her apartment room.
Once she's down on the street, she bump into Norman who also seems to be in a hurry as his Allied tank jacket was zipped down and his olive shirt was untucked.
The two didn't even need to apologize, since they understand the situation. So Miho and Norman just proceed, running along with each other, hoping to arrive at school in time.
However, as they reached a intersection, the two was stopped in their track by a girl, with long hair and a white head band, with Ooarai High uniform,dragging her feet on the pavement sluggishly, as if she was a zombie.
Looking at her from behind scares Miho a bit, while Norman just stood there and stares for a bit before both of them hears the girl spoke "Must… Go to school… grades… depends on blowing up tanks…must…fight… the laziness!"
Miho then slowly approach her from behind and asked "Uhm… do you… need some help?"
…
It took a while for the three to reach the school's gate, only to find it was nearly closed, with a student standing in front of it.
The student seems to recogized the "lazy" girl as she said "Ugh… not again Mako…"
…
Later on, in front of the hangars, Anzu look at her watch as she said "Aren't the rest of your crew coming?"
Don nodded "trust me prez,they'll come… just have to sort something out…with our choice of medicine last night…"
Anzu tilt her head in confusion and said "Wha~~?"
Just then, Hana pointed at a group of people coming from afar, they were dragging someone on the way.
It was Don's crew, and they're dragging Grady, who was struggling, clawing the ground as if he wanted to stay there. He was also yelling constantly but it was hard to hear from afar.
Miho then asked worryingly "Is mister Grady ok?"
Don then scratches the back of his head and said "Well… last night, we were woken up by some… loud…sounds of people doing… "push-ups"… our host parents are pretty athletic… Grady however can't go back to sleep… sooo~~~~…"
Norman then continue the story "… we gave him some heavy duty sleeping pills… we just, didn't count on this type of side effect… he thinks hes a shark… and he's trying to evolve by crawling up to the surface…"
The girls then look back at Grady, who was still clawing the ground, his legs struggling to get out of Gordo and Bible's grip as he yells "Let Go of ME you damn Mammals! I want to EVOLVE! Stop dragging me back into the water you hear? NOOOOO~~~!"
The girls can't say anything but stares on while Don said "Normally he thinks hes a Turkey… so this is one side effect we didn't count on…"
Before anyone can say anything, they saw a large, white military transport plane flew close to the ground and precisly dropped a running Tank down in front of the crews without even need to land.
Anzu seems pleased as she said "Just in time… buckle up guys! The principal is coming!"
The scene then swung back to Grady, who was still under the pills side effect, still struggling and the others having problem holding him in down.
