Hello again, hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it. Finally we're getting ready for some shipping... yet not mostly the ship this story is about XD Like Takami and Kita... Next chapter will have some Emi and miho moments! I promise!

Tanoshimu~

The Panzer IV was downed, the shell hitting it dead on in the side. The Tiger E slowly began to turn the hull before the engine went sky high, immobilizing it aswell. Meanwhile with the Elefant and Jadgpanther Yamamori looked out the top towards the M3
lee... A small white flag stuck out the top. The Char had tried to block the shot and save it but failed. A voice was heard on the loudspeakers "BOTH FLAGTANKS ARE DISABLED!"

Nagisa lets out an exhausted sigh.

"Just rest a while, you did great." Emi pats nagisa on the head as Nagisasits onthe empty shell rack.

"Please wait a moment, We are compiling data to see which flagtank fell first" A loudspeaker announced.

Emi stuck her head out of the top of the turret, then climbed out of the tank completely. She looked at Miho and spoke, completely exhausted. "That was an intense fight Miho..."

"Yeah... great job on your victory." Miho replied.

"I think the duel was more of a tie than anything, both tanks were taken out after all." Hitomi popped her head out, climbing out after Emi. "Plus we dont know which flagtank got hit first."

The rest of both tank crews get out, sitting around on either tank, a few idle conversations start randomly and stop just as fast.

"Whoever wins, we should have a party to celebrate such a close match, Something tells me It was just as intense with the main force." Hitomi pipes up.

"That sounds like fun." Miho smiles.

"Yeah, and i can get to see the awesome tanks you guys have up close!" Yukari speaks in her usual tank loving tone.

Hitomi and yukari begin to talk about tanks at a mile a minute, everyone else continues the idle banter when the loudspeaker comes on again. "The winner of the first consolation match is..."

Everyone gets tense, listening intently.

"BELLWALL ACADEMY!" The voice says. Hitomi squeals loud enough to crack glass and hugs Emi, making her blush. Takami picks up Kita.

"Takami! let go!" Kita flails giggling as Takami shakes her head refusing.

"Yahoo! we won!" Yamamori smiles hopping out the tank and giving Chifuyu a highfive.

"I must say I was surprised you didn't screw that up." Chifuyu smirks. "But you didn't, so good job."

"I won it for us so you can shut your mouth." Yamamori says in an annoyed tone.

"Make me." Chifuyu smirks as the two butt heads. They're the same as usual.

"We won, we won, we won!" Youko dances around, who knows when she climbed out the T-44.

The recovery trucks trundle towards the scrapyard of tanks, Leopond team from Oarai and all of The Panzer II crews climb out. Both maintenance teams get to work helping load the tanks onto the trucks. It wasn't their job but it was common practice for
the maintenance teams to help the recovery crews.

"Since the plan was to trap the two tanks in that pass i wonder how the Tiger is gonna get out?" Chifuyu wonders.

"I dunno and dont care. Im'a ride the truck back to the garages." yamamori states as the rest of hercrew is finally out of the tank.

Much later Bellwall and Oarai have a small unofficial party, for Oarai it's a consolation prize and for Bellwall a celebration. Mallard team is practically having a nightmare as Youko and Yukari immediately hit it off and both have a great time talking
about tanks. Chifuyu and Yamamori have relatively little fighting thanks partly to the happy mood but mostly to the fact that Emi told them that if the party went south training would be hell on earth for the next week. Leopond team and the Kawashiba
sisters mysteriously dissapeared and some time later tires would be heard squealing outside.

"Everyone seems to be having such a great time... Except those three girls with the short black hair." Emi says as she sits by the makeshift snack table that was set up.

"Sodoko is a stickler. She can't have fun, its impossible for her." Mako explains, half asleep.

"I see someone who's going a bit overboard." Hitomi giggles looking at youko who is break dancing... well trying.

"That's not overboard, that's youko..." Emi says with the anime sweat droplet.

The party continues for some time and Emi, Miho, and Hitomi sneak off and meet up with Chihiru.

First omake! Plan to do more of these.

Yamamori goes to highfive and misses, faceplanting Chifuyu, knocking her out of the tank before the two tumble and end up in the most awkward position ever... Youko snaps a picture of it. "saved."
