Girls und Fury

Final Chapter: O' Sister, My sister

Mumblin' Marvin's antique…

"Woweeeeee! It's like you got the entire WWII armored warfare in your backyard" squealed Yukari as she gaze upon the majestic sight in front of her, a very large yard, around a medium football field with numerous tanks from all nations parked in rows.

The elderly man chuckles as he walks toward her with his cane as he said "Yep, that's my life's work there lil' missy, me and my friends…well, late friends collect, build and rebuild tanks from that wretched and bloody era… including Prototypes"

Marvin then look at the youngsters and said "So, which one strike your fancy?"

Nekota quickly run toward a gray British A33 Excelsior Prototype tank, partially customized with a German drum-fed MG42 on the turret hatch, which was a completely out of place piece of armnament for a British made vehicle and said "Thi…This one… I really like this one" with a rather shy tone.

Before Marvin can say anything, Yukari quickly noticed the MG42 and said "Uhhh mister Marvin… what's that MG42 doing up there?"

The elder man shrugs "What's an MG42 NOT doing up there would be a more subtle question..hell of a machine gun I tell ya… it's basically the colt M1911 of the Germans, the designs only met a very few changes throughout the years up until today…"

He then look at Nekota and said "Anyway, that's a good choice lass, good armor layer, a bit below average speed… the cannon could be a bit more powerful if you ask me…"

Then, the whole gang hears an eerie moaning sound from behind, which prompted them to turn and look, and what they saw was Yukari with drool streaming down her wide open mouth, her eyes seems to be in a trance and her finger was pointed at a KV-2 tank turret, being attached to a 4 legged spider-like chassis.

As the girls still being astounded by the sci-fi looking vehicle, Don asked Marvin "Does…does it actually work?" with his eyes still glued to the spider tank.

Marvin answered proudly "Sure do, drove it myself, me and my buds spend the last 25 years building the chassis and its driving mechanism…worth every single seconds… It has been our lifelong dream to build a spider tank ever since the Star Wars Saga… ahh yes, those were the days for us… me, Takashi, one of my first and closest friends since my family moved to Japan back in the 60s and his buddies from the mechanic club would gather at each others houses from nights to nights, eating snacks and watches…then rewatches every Star Wars films that have ever made…poor bastard died of a heart attack after we finished this beauty…the moment those legs began to move and walk from the other end of the yard, you can see a bright, content smile on Takashi's face before he collapse…"

The gang can only stay quiet as they look at the elderly man sighs while reminiscing, while Momo whispered to Anzu "Gee… nobody asked him about his life story…"

Anzu then shrugs "Loosen up would ya Momo, we're looking at a work of art here"

Miho then asked "What…what do you call it?"

Marvin replied "The KV-2X… you know, the X looked like the tank itself, when being viewed from above, though the others insist that we should called it the Walking Terror, which I think is a bit… overexaggerating it's abilities, it's just a KV-2…on four legs, still pretty cool as heck everytime I pulled it in front of a convienient store"

Yukari turns to Marvin and said with a demonic voice "Can we have it?" and a creepy smile on her face.

Marvin chuckles "Heck no, partly because it's clearly a violation to the Sensha-do's rules…you know,since it have legs instead of tracks? … BUT, But, tell you what, I'll gladly let you drive it around town for the rest of the week, and if you girls beat the Kuromorimine, you girls can HAVE IT"

Yukari jumped onto Miho's arms and shrieked "YIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" with both arms wide spread.

Marvin then laughed as he look at Yukari's reaction and said "Welp, get on it lil' missy, I'll teach ya how to drive it"

The moment he said so, the gang was startled by a loud thud, a very,very loud one.

They turned to see the KV-2X have just landed from a jump, then the vehicle began to walk around the yard, smoothly.

Seeing that, Don then said jokingly "500 Yen says Rezei's nowhere to be found"

The girls then quickly look to their left and right, and true to Don's words, Rezei was nowhere in sight. Seems like she took the liberty of trying out the vehicle herself while the group still busy talking.

Marvin shrugs "Oh well, saves me some times… Anyway, anything else you boys and girls need for yer' tanks back home? The Kuromorimine's arsenal isn't exactly a bunch of nerf cannon-firing tanks ya know?"

Don then said "Well… we'll need some field armors… steel plates for covering the tracks and… tank tracks for extra thickness… I started to doubt those logs on our Sherman's abilities to block incoming 88mm shells, plus some armor on the turret's sides wouldn't hurt"

Marvin nodded as he said "Alrighty then, just gimme a hand here boy…"

Later that evening, back in Ooarai's Hangars…

"Ok girls, this is it, we have a couple more days to prepare, upgrade and practice for the last match, our opponent is the Kuromorimine…my… my old school, and being a former student and second-in-command of their team… I will say that this battle will be the most challenging of all… but forget that for a moment, I…eh… I just wanted you all, especially mister Collier and his teammates to know that… whatever happens… It has been a great pleasure and…the happiest time of my life, studying and going to battles with you all… with that said, we'll do our best, I! will do my best to get us to victory" said Miho as she stood in front of the entire Ooarai's team.

While Yukari was crying, Grady said jokingly "Drama queeennn" which earned him a slap upside the head from Don.

Anzu then look at Grady, along with the girls from the Mechanic club and said "Well then, I'll entrust the customize and upgrade works to you guys, no pressure or anything but…our odds against Kuromorimine depends on it"

Momo then said "And you maggots better not making any mistake or you'll be answer to me YA HEARD?" loudly, startling everyone.

Grady on the other hand just smiles "Man I love it when she's like that"

Then, the gang saw two girls near the temporary broken Chi-nu tank, one with a short hairstyle being slicked back with a hairband and a pink peach-shaped eyepatch that cover her right eye, the other girl have a light grey, below shoulders hairstyle being tied with a white band, she have noticeble freckles on her face and a set of overly large breasts.

The two girls was gawking at the Chi-nu with awe next to Nekota, who said "Pretty impressive up close right? But… it's broken for the time being"

Nekota then points at the A33 Excelsior and said "We'll be piloting that one until the Chi-Nu is fixed."

The girl with the eyepatch scream with excitement "OH mah Gosh! This is beyond my imagination"

Nekota then said "Oh, I almost forgot, I…I'm Nekonyaa"

Both of the new girls gasped as the one with the eyepatch said "YOU? You're Nekonyaa?" before she bowed "It's an honor to finally to meet you in real life"

The girl with the eyepacth then said "I'm Momoga"

The girl with freckles quickly follows "And I'm Piyotan"

Nekota's eyes lit up as she bowed back to the two girls "Holy 88 on a Tiger, the honor is all mine, to be able to meet the Mighty Momoga and Piyotan in the flesh, I wouldn't dare dream of such a pleasure"

Anzu awkwardly stares at the gamers trio before she turned back to the gang and said "Alright girls and boys, it's late anyway, get some rest, Grady and the girls need to focus on the upgrades, I'll see you again tomorrow for practice"

The student council president then look at the KV-2X walking, jumping around in the field outside the hangars and said "Rezei really like that… thing doesn't she?"

Later that night…

At the Pink Bunny's team dorm room, the first year girls was watching the movie Rage, they seems to have borrowed it from Yukari.

The girls was completely absorbed by the film as their eyes glued to the screen and anxious drops of sweats can be seen rolling down their faces.

As the view shown their faces,with the gunfire sounds from the film blasting through the TV's stereo, they girls suddenly jumped with tears forming in their eyes when a loud boom can be heard in the background, then followed by a rough, deep male voice "Jesus Christ! They Got Billy!"

Then, another male voice follows "It's no use Battlemaster! We gotta retreat back into the wood, keep firing smoke rounds at it"

The girls was on the edge of their seats, which was the large, fluffy bed they're all sitting on when the rough,deep male voice replied loudly "That's a Negative Fatty! Unless THAT Panther dumb enough to drove itself down a ditch, IT'S STILL OUR Problem!"

As the film went on, one of the girl shouted at the screen "NOOOOOOO! They killed Bear-hiney!"

Meanwhile, at Miho's dorm room, Miho herself, Asano, Rezei, Hana and Saori was sitting around a cozy coffee table filled with food.

Saori was drooling all over the feast as she said "Ohhh man, it's like a 5 stars all-you-can-eat right at home, I didn't know you can cook Asano"

Asano shrugs "Well I have to know how… Collier-senpai doesn't look like the type of guy who can cook…beside,it's a cruical skill that every bride-to-be must mastered before the big day…"

Her answer made the girls, except for Rezei blushes. Yukari on the other hand whispered to Miho "Wow… she's pretty open about her life's goal huh?"

Saori then closed her eyes before a serious look began to form on her face.

The girl then said "Girls… I eh, I got something to tell you today aswell…see, the thing is I…"

Hana quickly said "Oh dear, you're engaged?"

Saori shook her head in reply.

Asano then blankly asked "Holy shit, you're pregnant while still single?"

Saori quickly said loudly "Wha..NO!" before pulling out a card with her picture on it from her pocket and show it to the girls.

As Miho and the others look at it, Saori said "I've just passed the 2-kyuu Amateur Communicator test, boy do I look good in this picture or what?"

The girls then all laughed as they continue to enjoy their dinner together.

Around the same time, Grady the mechanic club girls was busy welding the strips of tank tracks to the sides of the Sherman's turret and attaching two steel plates in front of the wheels to prevent surprise attacks,which could resulted in the vehicle's tracks being blown off. Miho's Panzer IV,now with the Schruzen armour equipped can be seen parking right next to Don's Sherman.

As the young man was busy welding, Don and the boys walks in,with big bags of groceries on each of their hands, with Don saying "Party time! bitches!"

The girls quickly wipe the sweats on their forehead and walk toward the boys with one of them saying "About time Wardaddy, we're starving"

As each person grabs their pack of boxed pre-made lunches, one of the girls turns toward Grady, who was still silently working on the armors and said "Hey Grady, rest up for a bit would ya?"

Grady didn't even look back or stop what he was doing as he replied "Just leave it there… I'll get to it…"

Don then said "Don't worry too much about him… he's like that, the moment he starts working on something, not even Santa Claus can distract him or get him out of his focus, he'll eat once he's done"

One of the girls then asked "Say, Wardaddy, won't placing more armor layers will reduce the Sherman's max speed? I mean, those two tracks side armors plates alone were pretty heavy"

Don then said "That's a reasonable sacrifice, seeing that we're dealing with more than one Tiger tank, but you let us worry about how we'll handle it in battles… I'm concerns about your Porsche Tiger thought… mainly the engines"

One of the girls replied "Oh yea, damn thing kept overheating… we can probably work around that by improving the air cooling system but one problem still stands, the wiring"

Don then said "Copper wires… not exactly the best choice for material back then… I say you girls should switch them out for alluminum wires, kinda pricey but they're have more advantages over the copper ones AND it still abide by the rules since Aluminum was available back in the 1940s, although the militaries have to make due with copper since aluminum cost too much back then… me and the boys'll chip in some cash if you're shorts on it, and throw an MG42 on the turret while you're at it,that old girl would be NAKED without one"

The girls nodded strongly as they began switching the topics to other trival things, such as studies,food,movies and some other vehicles related subjects as the night slowly passes by.

A few days later… at the Finals…

2 hours before battle commence…

The scene then shows a convention-like amosphere around the National Sensha-do Finals grounds, with fans, audiences taking pictures, various food stands with their delicious aroma filling the place, along with many tank related merchandise vendor stands placed all around the place, which was filled with customers, from simple fans to collectors of all kinds.

Meanwhile, Miho and the team can be seen making some final inspections and maintenances on their vehicles before the match.

As the Ooarai's commander and her second-in-command, Don was looking at the map of the battlefield, she heard a familiar voice from behind that says "Good morning,miss Nishizumi"

Miho turned to see Darjeerling and her second-in-command, both with a warm smile on their faces.

Miho seems a bit surprised as she replied "Oh, good morning miss Darjeerling, you came to see the match?"

The blonde nodded "Of course I am, it would be such a waste to watch it on TV back home… I must say, it truly breathtaking to see you and your teammates grown so much after such a short time… beating teams that held better odds than your own…"

Darjeerling then gently grab Miho's hand before she said "…I wish you the best of luck miss Nishizumi, although… I don't think luck had anything to do with your victories to begin with, still… Do your best, I'll be watching"

Darjeerling then look at Don and said "Mister Collier… my opinion about you still stands… The Ooarai couldn't ask for any transfer students better than you boys" with a smile on her face.

Don then whispers to Miho "What the heck does she mean by that?"

Miho smiles as she whispered back "She thinks you guys are great"

As Darjeerling smiles and depart, an Allied US Army's Jeep, with Naomi as the driver, Arisa on the shotgun seat and Kay on the back seat pull over right in front of Miho and Don.

Kay then jump off the Jeep and grab both Miho's hand as she said "Heyyyhey Miho, It's the big day huh? I was gonna say good luck but eh… at this point, you won't be needing it, just do your best alright?" before she hug Miho and pat her back, causing Miho to blush.

Then, the moment Kay let go of Miho, she turns to Don and said "hey Wardaddy, show those Tigers that the Shermans are capable of in the hands of a skilled crew ok?"

Don smirks "You're god damn right I will"

Kay nodded as she jumps back on her Jeep before it drove away, with her waving and shouting "I'll be watching y'all!"

As Miho waved back, she heard yet another familiar voice that goes "Hey Miho!"

She turned to see Duce Anchovy walking toward her, with a rather stern expression on her face.

The Commander of the Anzio stares at the two for a good minute before she said "I…I came to see the match… and… I'm sorry for what I said to you before…"

Anchovy then suddenly point at Miho's face and said "You better not lose you hear? I still haven't get my revenge yet!" before she turn and walk away.

However, as she took a few step way from Miho and Don's position, Anchovy turned around and look at the two with a big smile on her face and said "Best of luck,I mean it" before finally walking away.

Don scoffed "She must be new to "humility", can't blame her for that"

Right then, Miho heard a rather cute voice calling her "Mihosha"

Miho turned again to see Nonna, with Katyusha on her back, this time without her oversized tank helmet.

Katyusha then said "I've decided to honor you with my glorious presence, and to see you BEAT the crap out of those Kuromorimine, Anyone who's good enough to beat the great and mighty Katyusha is more than powereful enough to beat them, so you better NOT lose this one ya hear me?"

Miho just smiles awkwardly in return while Don was attempting to pinch Katyusha's cheeks again, only to be met with Katyusha's scream "OH NO YOU DON'T" as she cover up her face with both hands.

Then, with both hands still covering her face, Katyusha said "Anyway, good luck Mihosha" before Nonna smiles at the two and said "dasvidaniya" before she walk away, with Katyusha still covering her face on the second-in-command's shoulders.

Don seems very impressed as he said to Miho "You know I gotta say, never met anyone who become friends with their opponents…well, beside me and…that guy from Berlin…before"

Miho fidget a bit as she replied "Oh….than…thank you… who's this.. guy friend of yours from Berlin anyway?"

Don then said "Meh, I'll tell you about him another time… C'mon, it's almost time to whoop your sister's…ehmm.. tank…'s back armor…"

The scene the show both teams's crewmembers facing each other, with miss Chouno in the middle, who said loudly "Both teams's Commander and second-in-command, please step forward"

Right away, Miho and Don steps forward on the Ooarai's side, while Maho and Erika steps forward from the Kuromorimine's side.

The air could never be more tense for Miho as she look her big sister right in the eyes while Maho do the same with the same cold expression on her face.

Don can see a smirk on Erika's lips as she looked at him while saying "It's been a while,mister Yankee doodle"

Don raised one eye brow before a smirk also appears on his face "You know…the only thing worst than losing this match…is having to look at your face"

Erika gritted her teeth and attempt to retort but Maho glare at her and said "This is not the place…"

Miho also grab Don's hand as she said "Mister Collier, please… it's very rude"

Chouno then said loudly "Teams, Bow!"

As Don and Miho does as they were told, Don whispered "Hey, she called me a yankee doodle first"

Miho whispered back "I know, I know, but you need to keep your composure until we're inside our tanks…"

Once that done, as Miho was about to get back to her teammates, she stopped when a voice from the Kuromorimine's side called out her name.

Miho turn to see a girl in Kuromorimine uniform,with a above-shoulder short,curly hairstyle and a rather happy look on her face running toward her.

The girl then bowed and said "Miss Nishizumi, I…I wanted to thank you for saving my life on that day"

Miho instantly recognize the girl as a series of images showing Miho dive down the raging water of a river and pry open a Tiger I tank door, grab the girl who was stuck inside and quickly swim up to the surface flashes through her eyes.

The girl in front of Miho then said "It's…It's my fault miss Nishizumi, because of me…you risked your life jumping down that river…and yet, now everyone see you as a deserter and a traitor, even miss Erika and miss Maho… I…I…" as tears forming in her eyes.

Miho then gently grab the girl's hands as she said "It's ok… your life…my teammates's lives are far more important to me than anything else…I'm just glad you're safe and well"

The girl then said with a smile on her face "To be honest, I was so happy to know that you didn't give up Sensha-do after that incident, It would be an honor for me to be shot down by you miss Nishizumi, I…I'll see you on the field, good luck" before she run back to her team, leaving Miho who looked on with a smile.

Japan, National Sensha-do Tournament, Finals… 10 minutes into the match…

The Ooarai's tanks was moving along a massive grassland, with a relatively large forest to the right of their position.

Miho's voice then can be heard through the radio "Ok everyone, we're up against 20 high-end German made tanks… a head-on assault is obviously out of the question, first we'll head to hill 207, that large crater on top of it would be a good vantage point for us to dug in, Wardaddy, any thoughts?"

Don's voice replied "Watch that forest on your right… if I was Maho, I'd lead an ambush squad in there and blast you all to bits the moment you roll by our sight… so I have a plan,Princess, you just keep going until you reached Hill 207, But be careful"

Then, the young man continues "Prez, I need your team to tag along with our Sherman on this one"

The moment he said so, a shell landed right onto the ground near Miho's Panzer IV,which was also the Ooarai's flag tank.

Then, after that first shot, another barrage, coming from the forest Don warned Miho about quickly followed, startling everyone, slowly breaking the Ooarai's formation. One of the shells landed right on Nekoya's A33's back armor's surface,which only have around 19mm of amor thickness and exploded, eliminating it upon impact.

Seeing that on the big screen, Marvin, who was sitting at the audiences bench rows, wearing a homemade Ooarai's team shirt sighs in disappointment as he said "Well… least now I know why the "Black Prince" were made… look intimidating but still too easy to take out"

Miho's voice then can be heard on Nekoya's radio asking "You girls ok?"

Nekoya replied "We're ok Commander, I eh… I'm still not used to driving a real tank…it's much easier in the game"

Miho then said "It's ok, you girls just stay there and wait for extraction ok?" before she took out her binocular and look at the direction of the bombardment, she can see about 6 of the Kuromori's tanks, ranging from Maho's Tiger I, Erika's Tiger II,a Panther, a Jagdpanther and a couple of Jagdpanzer IVs lining up behind the treelines with their cannons still blazing.

Don,who have also saw that spoke loudly into the radio due to the loud explosions outside "Ok Princess, go for it"

Miho's voice replied "Understood"

She then said to the team through the radio "Ok, everyone, deploy smoke screen, and move in zig zag paths until we reaches Hill 207"

The girls then activate their tanks chaff smoke exausts, quickly covering a large area in front of the Don then spoke into the radio "C'mon Prez, it's time for some Guerilla warfare"

Anzu's voice replied "Aight!" before her Hetzer and Don's Sherman break off from the formation and disappeared behind the smoke screen.

Meanwhile, Maho's ambush squad have began pursuit of Miho's group, which was still inside the smoke screen up ahead.

Maho look at the thick smoke curtain in front of her squad with her binocular before she said "Everyone, hold your fire and wait… Miho's squad're attempting to reach the hill with a crater on top up ahead but she couldn't go far… not without having to wait for the Porsche Tiger to keep up… it's known for its immense weight which prove to be an obstacle for climbing sloped terrains… we'll wait for the smoke to clear"

Erika seems angry as her voice replied through the radio "Tch… using cheap tricks again huh…?" as she fire a couple of bursts from her Tiger II's coaxial MG34 machine gun at the smoke screen ahead.

Meanwhile, Don's Sherman and Anzu's Hetzer was hiding behind a line of trees and bushes in the forest that Maho's squad used as an ambush postion earlier with their cannons pointed at right at Maho's squad formation.

After observing the sight ahead with his binocular, Don got back into the cockpit and said through the radio "Prez, they blocked the Tiger I, aka the flag tank from our firing line… wasn't so surprise to see that though, knowing she's Miho's sister…"

Anzu,who had her Hetzer's cannon aimed at the Kuromorimine's Hetzer replied "So…what now?"

Don then get out of the cockpit once more as he replied "What's the first thing you know German tanks flaws?"

Anzu replied "That…the tracks tend to broke apart quite often?"

Don smiles as he replied "Yep, not to mention they need constant maintenances…"

The scene then switch to Maho's squad, still unknown of Don and Anzu's presence. The Kuromorimine Commander took out her binocular and look through it again at the finally fading smoke screen.

To both her and Erika surprise, Miho's team have already halfway up the hill, far away from Maho's position and firing range.

Erika spoke with disbelief "How…How did that Porsche Tiger could move so fast?"

Maho then zoom in on her binocular to find that Miho's tanks have been towing the Porsche Tiger behind them to increase its speed as a compensation for the vehicle's immense weight.

Maho didn't waste another second as she spoke into the radio "Regroup and begin pursuit, Ignore all surprise attacks, those are only meant to slow us down, tanks with thick side armor layers form a circular shield formation around the rest and proceed toward hill 207"

As the Kuromorimine tanks was beginning to move, two shells landed on one of its Jagdpanzer IV's tracks and blew it to bits, eliminating it as a rseult.

Then comes a hailstorm of 50 cal. Bullets bounces off of Erika's Tiger II's side armors.

However, before the Kuromorimine's tank was about to retaliate, Maho said "I said ignore all attacks and move forward"

Erika's voice replied "Ughh That yank's trying to piss me off"

Maho didn't replied as her Tiger I continues to pursue Miho's squad along with the rest of her squad, much to a irritated Erika's protest.

As Don's Sherman and Anzu's Hetzer back up further behind the tree lines, the student council president said "Well, that makes it a 9 vs 19 match…not a bad odd huh?"

As the two tanks rolls toward Miho's location by moving through the forest, Don said "Ok, my guess is that they'll be pointing their big-ass cannons at Miho's tanks up on that hill up ahead…with the back of their tanks wiiiide open to us to spank, at this point I don't think I need to say more, right?" with a smile on his face.

Anzu then replied through the radio "It's not who got the bigger gun, it's who's left standing right?"

Don chuckles "You never seize to amaze me prez" as the Sherman and the Hetzer began to speed up toward the hill with the crater.

As Don continues to observe the Kuromorimine's squad pursuing Miho's squad, he can see Erika's Tiger II's track suddenly broke apart when her tank accidentally hit a medium but hard to spot pile of rubble on the ground, and not long after that, a Jagdpanzer IV have also run into a similar predicament, rendered them immobile.

Don smirks as he lower his binocular "Welp, that should slow them down, all and all, good for us, C'mon…" before he get back inside the cockpit as the Sherman and Hetzer proceed forward, leaving behind Erika behind,who was shouting angrily at her crewmates to fix the Tiger II's track.

Meanwhile, Maho's squad only around 500 feet away from Miho's position, she can clearly see each of Ooarai's tanks lining themselves up on the hill's dirt slope with their cannon pointed down on her squad.

Maho's expression stay the same as she said "They're already dug in?"

As she said so, the Ooarai's tanks didn't waste any seconds as they began showering her squad with shells.

Maho calmly get back into the cockpit and spoke into the radio "Stay in formation and proceed…"

The moment she said so, a shell landed right on a Panzer III next to her Tiger I, moments before another shell bounces off of the side of her Tiger's turret.

This prompted the Kuromorimine's commander to said "Form a straight line…and deploy the Jagdtiger"

The moment she said so, a Jagdtiger emerges from the bushes just about 50 feets from her position and quickly make its way toward Maho's squad.

Maho then said "Covering fire, aim for the Ooarai's flag tank so they'll have to break their formation to cover the Panzer IV"

Her squad quickly return fire as they forming a straight line,now with the Jagdtiger in the front, acting as a shield.

Once, Maho's squad began to advance up the hill, closing in on Miho's position, the Jagdtiger fired its first shot right at Miho's Panzer IV, luckily for her, the 12.8 cm shell barely missed the Panzer's side armor plate.

At the same time, Erika seems to have fixed her Tiger II's tracks and have caught up with Maho's squad.

The Kuromorimine's second-in-command didn't waste a second as she have her Tiger II aims at Miho's Panzer and open fire.

Once again, the shell barely hit the Panzer IV.

Erika smirked as she saw it "Luck won't be on your side forever you peasant"

Meanwhile, the shells from the Ooarai's tanks just harmlessly bounces off of the Jagdtiger armor,which began to worries Miho and her teamates.

Once, the Kuromorimine's squad were about 70 feets away from the Ooarai's squad, they broke the straight line formation and began spreading out into a spearhead formation with the Jagdtiger in the middle, shielding Maho's Tiger I.

Once that's done, Maho then spoke into the radio "HE shells,synchronize… fire"

Then, all of the Kuromorimine's tanks sent a shell out from each of their cannons at the exact same time.

Just half a second later, Don and Anzu can see a massive explosion on top of the hill,where Miho's squad should be.

However, Chouno's voice was not heard, indicating that all of Miho's tanks managed to survive the bombardment.

The young sighs in relief before he said to Anzu "We don't have much time left prez, the next HE bombardment could be the last one for us"

Anzu then said "It's a two-tank army charge huh?" with a smile.

Don then said "Yep, I'll go from behind them and spank the Jagdtiger, you flank them from the right and blast as many of their tanks as possible… our priority is to get Iron Princess out of that blockade, don't go for the flag tank, we just need to cause as much chaos as possible, use HE rounds if you need to…"

Anzu nodded before her and Don both got back inside their tank's cockpit and split up.

Back to Maho's squad, who was still showering shells at the Ooarai, pinning them down right where they are.

Erika, who seems to be please to see how things turns out smiled "That's what happen when you try to betray the Nishizumi's way…peasant" as she adjust her aim right at the front hull of Miho's Panzer IV.

However, before she can pull the trigger, a loud explosion from behind startled her.

Right after that, a voice can be heard on her radio "We lost the Jagdtiger! It's that Easy 8 Sherman, it snuck up behind usEEEEEKK!"

The scene then show a white flag on top of the Jagdtiger's turret and another white flag on top of a Jagdpanzer IV's turret, both of them where hit from behind.

Erika was still a bit shock to hear the Sherman managed to took out her team's Jagdtiger as she didn't even bother pulling the trigger.

That proved to be a big mistake on her part as Erika was startled once more when her Tiger II shook from a shell bounces off of her turret's right armor.

Erika the peek out of her turret hatch to see Anzu's Hetzer, with its cannon still smoking from the shot, charging right toward her team's formation.

This prompted Erika to say "What the heck is that garden gnome think she's doing?"

Right then, another shell bounces off of her Tiger II's armor, this time from Don's Sherman as it speed right into the Kuromorimina's formation.

As the other Kuromorimine's tanks turns their cannons on the Hetzer and the Sherman, Miho's voice can be heard on the Ooarai's teams radio "Everyone, open fire and retreat"

Then, the Ooarai's tanks unleashed a barrage of shell right at the Kuromorimine.

Being charged at and now, being fired at, their formantion began to break. As for Maho, she can hear the girls on her team's panickingly yelling and asking for instructions, among the ensuing chaos, a Tiger II was eliminated by a shot to its lower side armor,furthering instlling discord to the Kuromorimine's team.

At the same time, Don's Sherman quickly made its way through the Kuromorimine's formation and rejoin Miho's squad as they quickly exit the hill and head toward the river up ahead, while Anzu's Hetzer quickly catches up.

The crowd went wild as they saw what just happened, an "amateur" team managed to got the drop on the Kuromorimine for the very first time.

Katyusha's eyes was sparkling as she exclaimed "Woweeee! I never though I'd see the day where the Kuromorimine actually panicked!" while she observing the match from Nonna's shoulder.

Darjeerling was sitting next to her second-in-command, who was also watching the match intently, smiles as she took a sip from her smoking tea cup "That right there is why I held Miho and Don's leadership with high regards…"

The girl sitting next to her tilted her head "Huh? What do you mean mistress?"

Darjeerling continues "…The Kuromorimine was exceptionally well trained, but well trained within the boundary of the Nishizumi's way of sensha-do, while mister Collier and miss Miho's tactics does not based on any specific way of sensha-do… in short, the Kuromorimine lacks creative thinking and the skills that comes with it… they got the big guns, but up against an opponent who can adapt and changes their tactics as smoothly as water itself when the situations requires it... their big guns might not be enough of a factor to lead them to victory… the same thing applies to wartimes you know?"

The girl's eyes lit up as she look back at the screen as she said "Woweee… no wonder the two of them lead the Ooarai right up to the Finals"

Not far from where Darjeerling was sitting, Kay jumps up from her chair,with a Coke bottle in her hand and shouted "WWWOOOO That's what I'm talking about Wardaddy!" which startled Arisa and Naomi who was sitting nearby.

The scene then show Miho's squad all pulled up in front of a flowing river that separate them from the town up ahead.

Ceasar's voice can be heard through the radio "So uh…what now Princess?"

Miho then said "We have to cross this river right here… it won't be long until the Kuromorimine catches up to us… we'll move in a straight line, all medium tanks move behind the heavy tanks so the current won't be able to swept yo away… let's go everyone"

As the Ooarai moves cautiously down the water and half way through the river, the Pink Bunny team's M3 Lee suddenly stopped in its path.

As the other tanks quickly back up to shield it from the current, Miho can hear the Pink Bunny girls's voice through the radio "Miss Miho, our engine suddenly went dead…I..I can't start it back up"

As Miho got out of the cockpit and look at the M3, she heard Don's voice, who have also got out of hus Sherman,which parked just next to the Porsche Tiger "Whatever you're gonna do…you better do it fast princess…we got company"

Don the pointed at the cloud of dirt in the far distance,created by the Kuromorimine's approaching squad.

Miho then look at the dirt cloud, the back to the M3. Once again, images from the time she rescued her former Kuromorimine's teammates flashes before her eyes for a brief moment before she heard Saori's voice "It's ok Miho…"

Miho snaps out of her trance and look at Saori,who was still inside the cockpit, looking back at her with a smiles "Go help the Pink Bunny girls, we'll hold them off…"

Miho nodded strongly as she took a rope from her Panzer's cockpit, tie one end to the hook at the of her tank and the other end around her stomach before she took a deep breath and look at the M3 Lee and jumps on top of the B1 Bis, then proceed to jump toward the StuG III, and finally the M3 Lee, in front of a astounded crowd. Many of them can be seen praying for her safety.

Rezei smiles as she watches the whole scene "She chose her teammates over crossing this river huh?"

Saori then said "That's what makes Miho who she is…and why we loved her so much…"

Hana then said as she adjusting her aim "That's why I want us to win this… to show her sister that Miho's way of doing sensha-do is the right way… a leader who cared about their subordinances well being worth far more than a leader who sees them simply as pawns and shields"

Rezei replied "It's not like any of us were planning to lose…"

Once Miho landed on the M3, the girls of the Pink Bunny team was standing on top of the turret, with water forming in their eyes.

Miho then said as she attach the rope to a towing cable on the M3 and said to the girls "I told you I'll never leave anyone behind, didn't I?" with a warm smile on her face.

Then, as the other tanks began to move and tow the M3 behind, Don quickly jumps toward the Porsche Tiger and knock on it's turret and said "Turn your turret backward! They're only 100 yards away from us"

As he said so, the Sherman's cannon can be seen turning 90 degree, facing the incoming Kuromorimine's team while Bible can be seen getting out of the cockpit and mount the 50 cal in the background.

One of the girls from the mechanic club piloting the Porsche Tiger pop open the hatch and asked "Uhhh…what are you doing on top of our tank anyway?"

Don shrugs as he replied nonchalantly "Nothin' I just wanna shoot this MG42"

The girl then shrugs "Oh, ok then" before she got back inside.

As the Ooarai's tanks open fire on the Kuromorimine's tanks, Don detach the MG42 from its mount, check the ammo before he held it agaisnt his shoulder, with one hand on the grip and trigger and the other hand, holding the barrel,which was a very risky thing to do due to the heat the barrel will generate from continuous firing,despite both of his hands were protected by a pair of raw leather gloves.

Don then said "Well, another activity checked off of my bucket list..Shoulder-firing an MG42" before he pulled the trigger.

The bone chilling inconic sound of the infamous MG42 echoed through the field, distinguised itself from the tanks cannon fire and the Sherman's 50. cal as it sending out short burst of 7.92×57mm rounds at the incoming enemies tanks.

Although the bullets just bounces harmlessly off of Erika's Tiger II's hull, she was taken by surprise as she saw the young man firing a heavy squad machine gun with his shoulder through her binocular.

The crowd seems to be impressed by Don's action as some of them cheered for him, even as far as clapping at the young man.

Once the Ooarai's tanks reaches the other side of the river, Grady jumps out of the Sherman and run toward the M3 and climb inside,attempting to fix the engine.

Meanwhile the other Ooarai tanks still put up a good supressing fire on the Kuromorimine in order to by Grady some times.

Miho then look at Don, who was still shooting the MG42 and asked "Uhhh mister Collier, are you sure that's ok according to the rules?"

Don replied while keep on firing "Technically yes, I'm still standing ON a tank"

After about 2 minutes, Grady jumps out of the M3's cockpit and gave the Pink Bunny girls a thumb up, meaning he fixed the problem, prompting the girls to get back in.

As Grady make his way back to the Sherman, Don lowered the MG42 and reattach it to the Porsche Tiger's turret before he quickly get back inside his Sherman aswell.

With everybody in places, Miho then said "Everyone, head toward the town ahead, we'll have a better chance at fighting them there" as her Panzer IV and the others quickly speed off.

Inside the Sherman cockpit, Don removes his gloves and rub his left shoulder,which he uses to fire the MG42 earlier before he said "This is gonna sore tomorrow…but it was worth it"

Grady then scoffed "Sometimes I forgot how much of a crazy bastard you are chief"

20 minutes later…

The Ooarai's tanks finally arrived at the town, as they rolls along the concrete roads, Miho spoke into the radio "Ok everyone, we could use the narrow streets within this battlezone to deal with the Elefant and the remaining Kuromorimine's tanks..first, we'll split them up and then…"

Before Miho can even finish her sentence, a shell landed right on to the B1 Bis's frontal armor, the massive force from the explosion flipped the tank over, eliminating it as a result.

Miho's eyes widened as she look at the direction of the shot to find a Maus tank blocking the road ahead with its cannon still smoking.

Don gritted his teeth as he said "God dammit, I was afraid of this…"

Asano's voice can be heard on the radio from the eliminted B1 Bis that she was driving "Uhhh Commander? I think you're gonna need a new plan for this one…"

Miho then said "Everyone, fire then retreat"

The Ooarai's tanks then open fired on the Maus before quickly back up into an alleyway and head further into the town.

The barrage earlier didn't even put a scratch on the Maus's surface. The massive tank then begin pursuit of it's preys.

As the Maus roll toward an intersection, another barrage from the Ooarai's tank that were hiding behind the signs and streets kiosks greets its armor,but once again done no damages whatsoever.

The massive tank then turns its cannon toward the Panzer IV,which was hiding behind a small public toilets along with the Hetzer and the Sherman before dumping a shell at the establishment.

The expolsion reduced the public toilet to a pile of small rubble, fully exposed the three tanks hiding behind it.

Using the Maus's reload delay, the trio quickly flees.

The Porsche Tiger, the M3, the StuG III and the Type 89 decided to stay and blast the Maus with another barrage, but their effort once againt was in vain as no damages can be seen on the Maus's surface.

The Maus then turns its cannon toward the StuG III and fire before it could move out of the way.

The impact flipped the StuG III over, eliminating it as a result.

The M3, Porsche Tiger and the Type 89 quickly flees aswell while the Maus still reloading.

As the Maus begin pursuit after Miho's flag tank, the commander heard Maho's voice through the radio "We've arrived at the town's perimeter, status report?"

The commander then replied "Oh, they're running like rats ma'am, I'm currently in pursuit of the Panzer IV"

Maho's voice then replied "Do not underestimate her,not even for a second, we'll block their escape on the other side of the town, proceed cautiously"

A few minutes later, the M3 Lee can be seen being chased by an Elefant Tank Destroyer after it cut the latter away from the Kuromorimine's formation.

As the M3 make a sharps turns and enter an alleyway, one of the girls's voice can be heard "You know we could just lure them running around like this, buying Commander Miho some times…"

Then another girl's voice replied loudly "No way! Unless that Elefant dumb enough to drove itself down a ditch, it's still a problem to all of us"

Then, another girl's voice replied "Okkk, the silly movie quoting aside, you just gave me an idea…drive as close as you can to the Elefant's frontal armor so it's cannon point at us, just check the map, you'll see what I mean by that"

After a brief pause, the M3 quickly made another turn into a narrow street while one of the girls's voice can be heard "Heyyy, this could work…but you do know what'll happen after that right?"

The voice of the girl who came up with the idea replied "Sure do, at least we won't go down in vain"

Right then, the M3 make a 180 degree turn and run toward the Elefant before ramming into it at full speed.

Thanks to this surprise action, the Elefant didn't even fire when they saw the M3 coming right at them. Instead, the Elefant's driver steps on the gas and increases the tank's speed.

Due to the superior horsepowerm the Elefant quickly pushes the M3 back and continues toward the end of the street while the latter fires a couple of rounds at its frontal armor,which does no damages whatsoever.

Then, the moment both tanks were out in the T-shaped junction, the M3 suddenly turn left.

The Elefant did not waste this opportunity as it dump a shell at the M3 before it's out of sight.

The shell flip the M3 over and eliminate it instantly.

However, the Elefant was just half a meter away from a concrete drainage ditch and there's not enough time to put the tank into a full stop.

In just seconds, the Elefant crash through the fence and fell right down, the fall bend its cannon 90 degree,thus eliminating it as a result.

...

Meanwhile, Miho's Panzer IV and Anzu's Hetzer was being pursued by the Maus. As the chase went on, Miho can hear the Pink Bunny girls's voice on the radio "Uhh Princess? We eh, we got good news and bad news, good news is we "ditched" the Elefant…bad news is it took us out in the process… get it? Ditched? We lured it down a ditch?"

Miho smiles as she replied "I know I know, are you girls ok?"

The girls replied in unison "Still in one piece commander!"

Miho nodded before she replied "That's the real good news here, you girls did a great job, thank you"

Miho then spoke into the radio again "President, we got a slope just ahead, I got a plan to take down the Maus but… it's very risky"

Anzu's voice then replied "You've got us this far Nishizumi, I trust ya… just tell me what's on your mind…"

A couple of minutes later, the Maus reaches the street just in front of the slope Miho mentioned just to find the Hetzer with its cannon pointed at it while the Panzer IV is nowhere to be found.

Without hesitation, Anzu pulled the trigger, sending a shell at the Maus's frontal armor, just for it to bounces off harmlessly.

The Hetzer then dodge a shot from the Maus's cannon before it begin to back up with its cannon facing the latter.

As Yuzu keep her foot on the reverse pedal, Anzu spoke into the radio "Nishizumi, you're in position?"

Miho's voice the replied "Yes… thank you"

Anzu then said "All in a Student Council president's day work Princess" before she fired another shell at the Maus before dodging yet another shell from the latter.

The Hetzer now just feets away from the slope, Anzu then asked Momo and Yuzu as she leaned back against her seat "So girls… ready to take down the titan?"

Momo bluntly replied "No"

Right then, the Hezter roll down the slope and stopped right after they hit the street below.

As for the Maus, who have finally caught up with the Hetzer and roll down the slope as well.

Right at that moment, the Hetzer quickly back up and block the Maus's descense.

But by doing do, its armor was only milimeters away from the end of the Maus's cannon, not wasting the opportunity, the Maus open fired.

The shot took out the Hetzer's cannon, thus eliminating it.

However, once that's done the Maus still stuck on the 45 degree slope, with it's only weakness, an air vent exaust on the surface of its back fully exposed.

Before the Maus's crew realized what they've got themselves into, Miho's Panzer IV emerges from behind a bulletin board with its 88mm cannon pointed at the Maus's back.

Hana took a deep inhale before she pull the trigger, sending a shell right at its target.

It was a direct hit. After the smoke from the explosion cleared, Miho sighs in relief when she saw a white flag on the Maus's turret. But, without warning, Miho saw Maho's Tiger I looming just feets from her postion, and its obviously that Maho have already spotted her Panzer IV.

As for the crowd, they was on fire as everyone stood up and cheered at the top of their lungs after witnessing what happended.

"WHAT? YOU WHAT?.. BY THAT BRAT? … Oh you took out the Type 89 eh? Well that's a BIG comfort there…" shouted Erika as she was holding the radio close to hear mouth, seems like she found out about the Maus's predicament, in addition, it seems like the Type 89 have been eliminated during that time.

The silver-haired girl then said "How can this be happening…there're a bunch of junk tanks…rejects of the war…how could they took out the Maus…" as her Tiger II roll along a narrow street within what seems to be a series of apartments complex, seperated from her squad mates.

Erika look around as her Tiger II proceed cautiously along the street as she snarled "Dammit, where did that Sherman run off to?"

Just moment before the Tiger II exited the narrow street, Don's Sherman suddenly emerges from the intersection ahead and stopped right in front of her tank.

Erika didn't waste a second as she fire a shell at it, only for the Sherman to back up a bit to dodge it.

However, instead of pointing its cannon at her Tiger II, the Sherman points its cannon upward, at the building's wall on top of her and open fired.

The moment the shell left the Sherman's cannon, was also the moment a shell from Erika's Tiger landed right onto the front armor of the Sherman and exploded, eliminating it.

The Sherman's shell on the other hand seems to be an HE round as it blew a gigantic hole on the building wall, sending big, heavy debris falling down on the Tiger II.

One of the debris fell right on its cannon, bending it downward,and as a result eliminate Erika's Tiger II.

It took a whole minute for Don and Erika to exit their vehicles and just stare at each other.

Erika's smug expression was now replaced with a disbelief look as she asked "Ho…How…? Just…How?"

Don then said "Look… I'm sorry for what I've said about you…to your face before… You're among some of the best commander I've ever fought…I mean, we set like… 8 traps when you chased us and YOU alone dodged all of them with ease… thing is you need to realize that sensha-do is not just about tank cannon vs tank cannon… the rules does not forbid using your surrounding as mean of combat for a reason you know… anyway eh… great god damn duel…"

Erika was frozen on her legs as she heard those words, from her enemy, who have just smiles and complimented her skills after all the things she've called him.

But, unknown to the girl,Another debris have just broke away and drop down from the wall that Don's Sherman destroyed earlier, right on top of where Erika stand.

Her crewmate screamed at her to warn the girl about the falling debris, but when Erika look up at it coming right down on her, she was frozen with fear.

In just a split second, Erika can feel someone pushes her out of the way before she tumbles and fell down.

The next thing Erika saw after she pulled herself together was Don, lying under the derbis, with a small wound on his head.

For some reason, she acted on impulse and rushes toward him and remove the debris before she held him up by his head.

Don's team obviously was about to rushes to their commander's side but Bible stopped them as he said "Let them work this out boys…"

Erika could never be more confused in her entire life as she check his wound and asked "Wh…wh…why?"

Don slowly reaches for the bleeding wound on his head, touches it a bit before he said "Didn't you remember? This ain't a war…it's not…"

Erika then slowly lower her head as she whispered "…I'm…I…I'm so…I'm sorry…Tha…Th…th…Thank you…" just enough for the young man to hear.

Don can see her eyes water just a little bit before he said "Seriously snow-ball, stop with the waterwork, I ain't dying, I'm just tired…haven't ate anything all day is all"

The scene then shows the Porsche Tiger, with a white on its turret and its armor heavily damaged, and in front of it was 4 Panzer III and a Jagdpanzer IV, all with white flags on top of their turrets. Seems like the girls from the mechanic club have put up one heck of a last stand against the 5 Kuromorimine's tanks.

The scene then show Miho's Panzer, with most of its Schurzen armour plates blown off facing Maho's Tiger I, which have also suffered noticeble damages, seems like the two sisters have been blasting at each other fiercefully earlier.

Maho then pick up the radio and said "Everyone hold your position…" before she turn off her radio system.

Maho then look at Miho and said with a cold voice "The Nishizumi does not run from a fight… we'll finish this here and now"

Miho closed her eyes for a split second before she said with a sad tone "So be it" before she got back inside the cockpit.

The moment she's inside Miho said to Hana "Are you sure about this?"

Hana nodded strongly "It's our best bet, all I need is a 0,5 second window, but the tank must be at a full stop if I can garuantee a definite direct hit"

Miho then said to Rezei "Can you make it to the back of her Tiger before its cannon can get a lock on us?"

Rezei then said "I can, but it's bye-bye for the tracks"

Miho nodded as she said "I know, it's our final gamble, just do it"

Miho then look at Saori, who nodded at her and said "Go for it Miho…we believe in you"

Miho smiles at her teammates before she said loudly "FLOOR IT!"

Hana then fire a shell at the Tiger I's left track, incapacitated the latter but not enough to eliminate it before Rezei steps on the gas.

Maho quickly dump a shell back at the Panzer IV. The shell blew off another piece of the Schurzen armor on the turret.

Then, Rezei keep her foot on the gas and do a power turn while Hana carefully adjusting her aim.

Maho's Tiger I cannon was doing its best at following the Panzer IV as it "drift" its way to the Tiger's back armor.

As the Panzer was feets away from its destination, both tracks finally gave out and broke apart, sending sparks out as they does so.

The audiences was on the edge of their seats the moment they saw the Panzer IV's cannon pointed at the Tiger I's back and the Tiger I's cannon pointed right at the Panzer IV's front armor,both at point black.

As the decisive moment arrives, Rezei pull the emergency brake levers,putting the Panzer IV to a full stop in split second, Hana didn't waist a nanosecond the moment the Panzer stopped moving and pull the trigger, at the exact same time as Maho.

Silence covered the whole crowd as they wait for the smoke to clear.

Just second later, they heard Chouno's voice declaring "Kuromorimine's flag tank eliminated! The Winner and CHAMPION of this year National Sensha-do Tournament: The Ooarai HIGH!"

The crowd look back on the screen to see a white flag on top of the Tiger I's turret and a big dent on its back. While the shot from the Tiger I only blew what's left of the Panzer's IV wheels to smitherines.

Miho then slowly poke her head out from the turret hatch and look at her sister.

And then, out of nowhere, Maho began to smile, not a big smile but visible as she said "Well done Miho, well done"

Meanwhile, the crowd once again went wild, including Miho's previous opponents, except for Darjeerling, who stick with her elegant and dignified demeanor, while the girls from the other school was jumping and clapping as they saw the result.

Shiho Nishizumi, who was observing the match from a high hill not far from the screen actually sighs before she began clapping slowly as a smile appear on her face.

After the trophy receiving ceremony…

"OH MY GOD ARE YOU OK SENPAI?" shouted Asano when she saw Don with a bandage wrap around his head as he and his team walk toward Miho and the girls.

Don shrugs as he answered "Nothing serious, the doc say there could be a 2 percent chance I could suffer brain damage but who cares, we WON!"

Miho smiles and sighs with relief to know that Don is ok.

Then, out of nowhere, Anzu leap right at Miho and hugged her, surprising the girl a bit.

Anzu then said "Thank you…Thank you…You saved our school" with a near-tear voice, despise no tears can be seen forming in her eyes as the short girl tighten her grip on Miho.

The Ooarai's commander then gently hug Anzu back and said "No…I'm the one who should say thanks…without you all…"

Miho then look at Don with a warm smile and a light blush before she said "without you all… I couldn't never done it…"

Anzu then let go of Miho and said "Annnyway, enough crying for one day girls and boys, It's PARTYYYYYY TIMMMEEEEE!"

Miho was smiling with her friends before she turned around to see Maho, alone.

Miho then look at the others and said "You guys go on ahead…I…I'll catch up"

Anzu nodded as she pat a crying,happy Momo's back and said "Alright little Momo, hush hush, we won, we won't lose the schooolll~~~, just calm down, I'll buy you some ice cream huh?" while walking away, with the others followed suit.

Once the Ooarai's students were out of earshot, Miho slowly approaching Maho, who suddenly walk toward her and grab both her hands.

Maho then flash another smile, a warm smile to be precise as she said "You've won fair and square Miho…I couldn't be more proud"

Miho then smiles back "Oh…thanks big sis…won't…mom be angry?"

Maho shrugs "She'll understand… hey, come visit us whenever you can ok?I'll be waiting"

Miho's smile got bigger as she nodded.

Just as she does so, she heard Momo's voice shouting "HEY GET BACK HERE WITH OUR TANK YOU GNOME!"

She turned to see Katyusha making funny faces at Momo and the Ooarai's girls who was chasing after the petite blond as she pops out from the hatch of the KV-2X that she obviously tried to steal, couldn't really blame the girl for liking such a creation.

Maho then let go of Miho's hand and said "You should go help your friends" with a smile.

Miho smiles back as she said "Yea…I guess…I guess I should…Goodbye big sis…I'll see you at Christmas"

Maho nodded "I know you will dear sister" as she watches her younger sister run after her friends with a smile on her face.

The End…?
