The next morning, the students of Kuromorimine were preparing for what was going to come as they didn't know how long they were going to last against Pravda. They had truly nowhere left to hide. The loudspeaker began to buzz as a voice was coming from it, it wasn't the commander's or vice commander's voice. Someone else's all together.
"Attention, all students!" The voice of Shiho Nishizumi suddenly cracked into life from the speakers. "Every single one of you is to be expected to gather at the gym at exactly Nine AM." Maho shot Miho and Erika a concerned look. Whatever it was her mother was planning, it wouldn't be good for those who weren't in Sensha-Do.
"Do you think that it has something to do with the final battle, onee-san?" Miho asked and Maho just nodded. It was obvious to very few people, and the older of the Nishizumi sisters was in the small group. Olivia was listening as she knew exactly what the Nishizumi mother meant. She grabbed her Kar98k and Luger that were all loaded and made her way to the gym. This meeting was going to be important.
Once the students from the four schools had arrived. They sat down in rows as the Nishizumi family went to the front as they were ready to make their announcement. Shiho tapped the microphone as there was a ringing sound indicating it was on. The crowd was mixed with many girls, boys and adults that were going to help out in the cause.
"Is everyone here?" Shiho asked and Maho gave her a short nod. "Good. I gathered you all here to inform you of a mobilization of every non-Sensha-Do student and/or adult," she announced and Maho saw several of the hardcore gamers groan in frustration.
"MEXT provided us with twenty Sd. Kfz. 234/2 Pumas, six MG42s, ten 5 cm PaK 40 AT guns and hundreds of Kar98ks, StG 44s MP-40s and G43s with thirty Panzerfausts," the Headmistress listed out and the History buffs from both Ooarai and Kuromorimine had stars in their eyes.
"So, if we are in a disabled armor?" Piyotan, the laziest of the gamers interrupted, and Maho could swear that she saw everyone in the room except her mother sweating buckets.
"A good question. You just leave it and grab a gun. After that, join with the adults, who'll be our Volkssturm," Shiho replied and the tension in the room disappeared. Shiho nodded as Ami walked up to the podium to take over for her.
"What me and Shichiro decided that this match wouldn't involve a flag tank or an annihilation as there are not many tanks Kuromorimine could muster compared to the students that responded to the call. The flag sits on top of the Kuromorimine parliament building and if Pravda takes that flag down when the sun sets, they win automatically so we need to plan our defenses accordingly." Ami told the students what this match was going to consist of.
"Itsumi Erika and Nishizumi Miho will lead the tanks. Ami Chono is the overall commander of our Sd. Kfzx. 234/2s. And the Volkssturm with MGs and PaKs is led by Akaboshi Matsuda. Any further questions?" Ami asked as she wanted to see who was going to ask Riko's hand shot up. "What'll new we'll go against?" she asked. "A dozen of ZiS-6 trucks with BM-30 Smerch…"
"QUIET!" Shiho shouted as she didn't want Riko to rail on and on about what they were going to use. Shiho took a breath before finishing her statement: "...and eight GAZ AA infantry trucks."
"Stalinorgel, huh?" Riko muttered and put her cap further over her eyes.
"We've been provided with hundreds of arms but not much ammunition came along with that." Maho told the group as this wasn't going to be enough. "We do have plenty of Panzerfausts and Panzerschrecks though." She opened the box as the students rushed out to grab what they wanted.
"What about the machine guns we have. I bet we can use them for defensive support if needed while Kuromorimine continues to retreat to where the flag is." Miho added to whatever else Kuromorimine's arsenal had.
"Yeah we'll do that, we'll attack and retreat further in as the match continues, we're going to keep baiting them in." Maho replied as she got up and walked off. Ami decided to observe this as she was wondering how long the set up time was going to take.
"Set up time will be fifteen minutes when Pravda and their tanks get on the ship and their team is accounted for." Ami told the Kuromorimine students as Maho was passing out the guns and ammunition to the students.
Pomorie and the rest of the group were grabbing weapons and ammunition of their own and unlike Kuromorimine, they had a smaller group so more ammunition per student. Pomorie was reading the news that MEXT had posted that morning as she was reading it out.
"Kuromorimine can only field a specific number of tanks so that means we're not riding in our tanks." Pomorie began. The rest of the Sensha-Do team seemed bummed out as they weren't going to be approaching Kuromorimine with their bread and butter.
"Does this mean we'll be fighting the last match on foot?" Beli asked as she grabbed what seemed to be a Gewehr 43.
"Yes and we're going to be entering the Kuromorimine parliament building to take their flag down. However we're on a schedule so we'll need to do this accordingly." Pomorie responded as Rila entered the scene carrying a special Mannlicher M93 in her hands. "Where did you find that Rila?" Pomorie asked as that rifle was interesting, it had two magnifying glasses on it as they were bolted just above the hand grip.
"This is my training rifle as I wanted to be a gunner originally and the magnifying glasses help me see my targets up close while being at a distance due to my eye sight." Rila responded as she opened the rifle up. "You turn the bolt up then pull back, it's not a straight pull and the special part about this is… It's a carbine." Rila told the girls that this rifle was hers and wasn't a long rifle.
"Good you can pick out targets like machine guns and Panzerschrecks so we can take them out?" Pomorie asked if the extra magnification could come in handy.
"Possibly." Rila responded as Srebarna was holding an Mg34 with several drum magazines.
"We should get going, we don't want to miss the train as we're being deployed with Nina." Srebarna told the group to choose their weapons and hurry as they were going straight for Kuromorimine's school ship to have this next match take place.
Meanwhile Olivia was busy polishing one of the machine guns that would cover an area leading into the courtyard as she was preparing the defenses. Maho walked over as she had a familiar face with her.
"Olivia, someone wishes to see you." Maho began. Olivia looked up as she saw him with his light brown eyes and blonde hair. He looked down to her as Olivia looked back up.
"Erwin!" Olivia called out as she ran over to give him a hug. Erwin happily hugged Olivia back as he had his arms around her.
"It's so great to see you, you're getting so big." He responded as it looked like she grew the last time he had seen her.
"I know you too. I haven't seen you since you went back to your school that winter." Olivia told him as it had been a long while since the two of them got to see each other.
"Maho has called us up to help defend the school." Erwin began. He then turned to Maho as he continued to speak. "I'm off to the front with my girl to where Pravda is expected to attack, get yourself back to the parliament building so you can let those retreating inside." Maho smiled at her friend as she began to speak.
"Oh you are very brave Erwin." Maho told him as he prepared to leave with Olivia, he was carrying a Panzerfaust while Olivia held her Kar-98k.
"Oh don't worry about me, I'll make sure Olivia stay's safe." Erwin responded as he and Olivia left the scene. Maho waved goodbye as the two of them left. Maho waved goodbye as the time to prepare the defenses was now up Pravda was expected to attack at any moment.
It had taken a while before Pomorie and her friends were loaded onto the train that was bringing them to the field where the match was going to happen, Several Pravda students were riding along with them as they had a mix of M1891/30's and M38 and M44 carbines for the smaller students. A couple of the Pravda occupants on this train had their Papasha-41's on them as it would prove instrumental to clearing out the streets.
"So the carbines are for?" Pomorie asked as she was itching to see what the field they were going on was going to look like.
"Not a lot of us are tall like Nonna and Klara so we're using shorter rifles as they were more suited for our smaller size." Nina responded as she held out her M44 carbine. Pomorie takes a look at it as she likes it.
"Rila has a carbine herself but I won't show it to you as it's hers but thanks for letting me look at yours." Pomorie nodded as she liked that Nina was able to let Pomorie see hers.
"You're welcome." Pomorie responded. Brook was keeping an eye out as they were now approaching their destination which they were going to be let off from. The train was slowing down as they were here.
"On your feet!" Brook shouted to the group as the students rushed to their feet. The train's brakes squealed as the train came to a stop. The door to where the students were occupying was opened as the students began to disembark, three T-34/85's were waiting to support the students advance into the city. Commissar Nakhimov disembarked as he began speaking while Pomorie, Rila and Varna disembarked.
"On Ms. Itsumi's birthday, a barrage of Katyusha rockets will tear Kuromorimine to pieces! With your bullets… with your bayonets… with your bare hands… do the same to her wretched students!" Nakhimov shouted as the students got ready to storm the area. The rumbling of tanks was heard as one was going to go down one path and the other two were going down another road. This was the signal for them to move on to.
"Charge!" Brook shouted as a holler of URA filled the air as the students began moving out. "Keep moving! Keep moving!" Brook ordered them to pick up the pace so they could move into the town.
"Move up with the tanks!" Nakhimov ordered as he sprinted alongside the students. Pomorie and her friends were now behind one of the T-34's.
"Use them for cover." Brook gave the suggestion to hide behind the tanks from incoming fire and that was what she meant, within a moment, the Kuromorimine students began opening fire as Brook knew that was the signal to hide. "The rats are everywhere! Clear every building!" Brook gave the order. Brook tumbled to some cover as she began opening fire with her Papahsa-41 before ducking back behind cover. Pomorie, Rila and Varna got behind some cover as Brook continued peppering the nearby house with volleys of paintballs.
"See anything?" Pomorie asked Rila as she loaded a clip into her rifle before staring down the magnifying glass combination.
"Yeah, several students hiding in that building." Rila responded as she was pointing to the house that Brook was firing at, some of the incoming fire was now coming from the second floor of the house.
"More on the upper floor!" Brook shouted as she sprayed her Papasha at the upper floor of the house. One of the students on that floor fell out of the house after getting shot a few times. Rila raised her rifle and fired the first shot into the house, nailing a student in the chest. Pomorie leaned up giving a spray with mer Mp-40 as the student was finished off. Rila raised herself up again to see what shot she could take next Varna leaned up as she fired and struck down another Kuromorimine student. She got back behind cover and huffed. Pomorie and Rila looked at her awkwardly.
"What? This is my first time shooting a paintball gun." Varna responded. Srebarna then arrived as she went prone on the road right behind the T-34 and began providing fire on the left house. Pomorie looked up as another student from the left was taken down. She peppered more shots from the Mp-40 as Brook was reloading her Papasha.
"Are they losing strength over there?" Malko asked as she approached the group with her G43 rifle.
"A bit." Varna responded as she fired her rifle again, taking down another student. One of the Kuromorimine students threw back a paintball grenade as it blew up close to Pomorie's face. Fortunately, she wasn't hit but the explosion left her in agony for a moment.
"Oh my god, my ears are ringing!" Pomorie complained as it took a moment for her to recover from the attack as she stood back up and continued to fire. Srebarna knew this house had been neutralized, she reloaded and focused on the second house as she kept firing away. The remaining Kuromorimine students knew they weren't going to hold any longer and began to retreat. Pomorie noticed this, as she watched the students retreat.
"They are running!" Pomorie shouted to Brook as their foes were now retreating. Brook nodded with a smile as she looked at the group.
"Of course Pomorie, but they have nowhere to go. Wipe them out! Brook decided to dart for the first building as Nina darted for the second. Pomorie, Rila and Varna darted to the right as they were going to take up position in the second house. After getting behind some cover, a couple of shots were heard to their right as Pomorie noticed some Kuromorimine student hiding out in the right as she decided to take care of that. She entered the house and sprayed the student down with her Mp-40. Once that was done, the students decided to move into the second house as it would benefit them if they went upstairs as the resistance was weaker. Once upstairs. Srebarna had laid down her Mg34 as she was spraying away to provide cover as the combined fire seemed to be coming from the clock tower as there were two Mg42's and several students with Panzerschrecks and Panzerfausts. Rila and Varna fired with Nina to take out some of the Mg42 gunners as this would prove to be moreover useful. The T-34 that was providing cover for them was hit by a Panzerschreck rocket. A white flag popped out as this was the first tank that they lost this match. "Our tanks are being torn apart!"
"They have set up defenses in the clock tower!" Nina shouted as their foes were spraying at the buildings.
"Stay in cover, we'll take them out." Pomorie told Nina as she peppered the building away with the Mp-40 but it wasn't going to be much use due to the caliber for the paintball being very small.
"Take this." Nina told Pomorie as she handed her the M44 and a couple of stripper clips of paintballs. Pomorie raised the rifle up to one of the Mg42 gunners and fired the first shot, nailing the student on the head.
"Yes!" Brook shouted as she was in the other house trying to take out the Panzerschrecks. Pomorie lined her sights up again onto the second Mg42 gunner and fired at it. The second paintball landed square on his head as he had been knocked out. "Yes!" Brook shouted again as Pomorie handed Nina back the rifle. Nina raised the rifle up and fired as she knocked out one of the Panzerschrecks.
"Watch out there are more!" Rila shouted as she fired her carbine at the clock tower. The students continued to fire as a couple more students were taken out in a few minutes. This was getting Brook's attention.
"They are weakening!" Brook shouted with glee as Nina fired again, taking out another Panzerschreck student. Suddenly Alina's group came from the right as several of the students had thrown their hands up. One of the T-34's aimed as it fired its HE shell, tearing a large hole in the clock tower. Enough damage had been done. Erwin and Olivia were looking on as they had arrived too late to help their friends defend the clock tower but they knew exactly what they wanted to do. He and Olivia got out their Panzerfausts and fired them both off within mere seconds, knocking out another T-34/85. Nakhimov looked around to hear what this sound was but Erwin and Olivia had slipped off without a trace.
"Move forward comrades!" Nakhimov shouted as he decided to head down the alleyway. The students in the two houses began to rush down the stairs as they had suffered a couple of losses trying to wipe out the defenses of the clock tower. They met on the streets as Alina was swapping weapons as she had four students that surrendered. Brook was looking around as saw a massive hole in the side of the clock tower.
"This way! Into the building!" Brook called out to her group as the students entered the clock tower from the hole. The remaining T-34 rumbled on through. "Up the stairs." Brook called out as they began to race up the stairs. Pomorie looked around as three Kuromorimine residents were trying to move as Nina decided to take a look at this.
"Brook, there are survivors." Nina called out as the Pravda students decided to knock them out. Commissar Nakhimov decided to announce that any residents of Kuromorimine were beasts and not humans.
"These animals raped and marauded their way through Pravda without mercy! They deserve none in return!" Nakhimov announced to the Pravda students. Pomorie and her friends looked around inside the clock tower for anything useful that they could use later on. There lying in the corner were three Panzerfausts. Pomorie walked over to them as she picked them up.
"These hadn't been used yet. Let's keep these in case any super armored tank we run into." Pomorie told the group as they each grabbed one. Pomorie Rila and Varna sprinted after the group as they got on the fire escape connecting the two buildings. They heard a noise as they decided to stop and take a look. It was Alina and another Pravda student forcing the recently surrendered Kuromorimine residents into a corner.
"Move you pigs!" Alina began as she shoved one of the surrendered team members.
"Face us you cowards!" Another student called out. One of the residents began to speak.
"No! Please don't!" One of the Kuromorimine residents begged Alina to change her mind.
"Please! PLEASE!" Another one shouted for them to stop what they were doing. But, it was no good. Alina and her friend got out their Papasha-41's and hosed the four students down with paintballs. They all crumbled to the ground as one of them began to speak. "I beg of you…" Alina got out her TT-33 and fired another paintball into the beggar's head to get it to shut up. Pomorie and her friends, having witnessed this, turned and decided to keep this to themselves and walked to their group. They had encountered a wall.
"How do we move forward?" Pomorie asked as she wanted to stick with the mission and forget what she had witnessed. The remaining T-34 that they had had its turret backwards as it rolled up to the wall. It then bulldozed its way through the wall like it was nothing, leaving a large hole to let the students through.
"By brute force Pomorie!" Brook smiled as she observed the tank driving through. Suddenly it was hit by something as it wasn't enough to take it out of the right. The students rushed forth from the wall as they went to observe what just hit their remaining tank.
"Keep pushing… MOVE!" Nakhimov shouted as they went off to find cover to fight the students in the street.
"Fire coming from the asylum!" Pomorie shouted as she thought that was where the fire was coming from. Brook had three words for her.
"Deal with it!" Brook shouted as she began firing her Papasha. The T-34 fired back as it wanted to take out this new target but the new target fired back as the last T-34 of the group had been knocked out. Pomorie, Rila and Varna got behind some cover as they were joined by Nakhimov. He then got out his binoculars and began to look around. He spotted what was firing on them as its two machine guns were spraying lead down range.
"What is it?" Pomorie asked as she wanted to know what the Commissar was seeing.
"Panzer VII Lowe." Nakhimov responded. He then gave Pomorie the binoculars to take a look at it for herself. The other students were firing on the other student but were pinned down by the tank.
"What's a Panzer VII, is it a Tiger 2?" Pomorie asked as she wanted to know if that was the answer. Nakhimov nodded as Pomorie handed the binoculars back to him.
"The Tiger 2 is still a Tiger. The Panzer VII is a new tank. Some of the students I work with have reported seeing a Panzer VIII but you'll be surprised when you get a glimpse of it yourself." Nakhimov told Pomorie about the differences between the tanks. Pomorie nodded as she had three Panzerfausts on her but she needed to get closer to see what the effective range on them was. Brook hopped over as she decided to get closer to the tank while still providing fire. Nina and Shiroka hopped over as they approached the Panzer VII. They continued to provide cover as well as a distraction for the other side to hop on over. Pomorie and the others knew this was their chance to move as they did so to the next piece of cover that was ahead of them. They were getting closer.
"Dunno if these Panzerfausts will work." Pomorie responded as she slung the Mp-40 on her shoulder and got out her Panzerfaust. She got out from behind her cover while Nakhimov and her friends covered her. Pomorie got behind a staircase leading to one of the houses as she hastily set up the Panzerfaust. Aiming for the side armor She aimed her sights and pushed the button to fire. The Panzerfaust Warhead left a splatter on the side as a white flag popped out, that tank was gone. Pomorie unslung the Mp-40 as she dropped the empty Panzerfaust launcher down and began firing away. Nakhimov decided to stay behind as Varna and RIla rushed to her position to support her.
"Wow, you took out that tank so we should have some cover." Varna told Pomorie with excitement as the crew rushed on out. They were quickly mowed down by the incoming students but the problem left was the Mg42 in the asylum that was keeping the students pinned. Brook was looking on ahead as she was wondering how to silence the Mg42. She looked around, spotting a hole in the side of the concrete.
"Split up! Your four, go through the courtyard!" Brook told Nina to fight her way through the courtyard. Nina and three other students went off into the courtyard where the Kuromorimine students were so they could engage the Mg42 head on while Brook gave orders to the other students. "The rest of you, clear the street!" Brook was firing down into the courtyard to help Nina and her friends advance while the other students were fighting their way through the street. Pomorie and the others were firing from the knocked out tank as they were using it for cover.
"How good are we on ammo?" Pomorie asked her friends how much they have left.
"I'm almost out." Rila responded as she was running paintballs. Varna loaded another stripper clip in as she decided to give her response.
"Running low myself." Varna responded as she aimed and fired, missing her target. Pomorie reloaded as she knew she was on her last magazine of paintballs.
"We need more supplies before we can continue so we're going. Once this street is cleared, we go looking for supplies so we can continue fighting." Pomorie responded as she laid out her plan. The others nodded as Pomorie ducked in and out periodically and peppered away, taking another Kuromorimine volunteer down. Pravda students rushed up ahead as Pomorie knew that they were going to cover them. "Let's move." Pomorie told her friends as she got up and led the way to the new cover. Rila and Varna followed behind her as they were going to try fighting their way through the street. Within minutes, they had reached a barricaded part of the street as more Pravda students went down into the courtyard from another hole. Pomorie and her friends decided to use the opportunity to scavenge what they could find.
"Fight your way into the asylum!" Nakhimov ordered as he peppered the Mg42 position with his Papasha.
"Hunt them down in whatever corner they hide!" Brook gave the command as she wasn't taking anyone as prisoners. Pomorie turned to her friends as they were going to try finding a few things useful for them.
"Let's see what we can find in this mess." Pomorie told her friends as she began looking around for Mp-40 magazines. She eventually found a paintball Stielhandgranate and three more magazines, she didn't know if it would be enough but it was at least something. Varna found more stripper clips as she decided to keep them for herself. Rila found a Sturmgewehr 44 and four magazines of ammunition. Once they were able to scavenge what they could find, they decided to join their friends in the battle against the Mg42.
Once the girls had joined up with Nina who was firing away at the machine gun that was spraying at them. She began to lay out the situation.
"Two students were taken down and we're pinned. Take it out." Nina told Pomorie as she raised the Mp-40 she had and began taking a couple of quick shots off at the Mg42. The gun then turned and began spraying at their position. Nina then got up as she scrambled to the cover where Alina and Brook were as they were expecting her. Nina seeing that Mg42 gunner was distracted and firing at Pomorie and her friends. She raised her M44 rifle up and fired, finally the gun was silent. They then began to move into the asylum as it was their job to clear it out.
"This place reeks of nightmares and madness. But only the insane would stand against us." Brook began as she was shaking a bit as she was feeling a little uneasy as they continued to explore around the asylum. "Keep moving, keep taking them out. This way upstairs!" Brook told them as she pointed to the stairs. They began to climb up the stairs as Brook was standing halfway up the stairwell as she had instructions for Nina. "Nina, grab a shotgun, we'll be fighting in close quarters." Brook instructed her as Nina grabbed for the sawed off double barrel. She opened it up as one paintball shell was missing, she decided to load it up and head up the stairs as Brook followed her. The rest of the students continued to explore around the asylum as they were uneasy by the sight. Some wanted to scream but Brook hushed them with her lips.
"Do you hear something?" Pomorie asked if the group was feeling okay. Brook knew she needed to keep them quiet.
"No… that is why I am suspicious." Brook whispered back trying to keep the group as quiet as she could. "Move carefully tovarisch." Brook continued to whisper as the students continued to wander trying to stay quiet but that was going to be broken. Pomorie and her friend slid behind some cover and that is when Kuromorimine sprung their trap. The students popped out as they began firing. Pomorie unscrewed the paintball grenade and tossed it over to the other side. It blew up taking three of the defenders down. The other students began to rush out from their cover as they were fighting their way through. Brook sprayed her Papasha into two students as she knocked them down. She ducked into the abandoned shower to reload as she was keeping the magazines on her so they could be refilled.
"Let's move!" Nakhimov declared as the students were moving up to clear out the rest of the asylum. They came to the balcony of the asylum as Kuromorimine students were up there. What were they doing. Brook had other ideas in mind.
"Nina! Get on that MG! Use their own weapons against them." Brook gave the order as Nina rushed on and got onto the Mg42. This gun seemed familiar to her but they were just firing against it now Brook wanted her to use it. Nakhimov got to the corner as Nina began peppering across to the Kuromorimine students with her machine gun. The others were focusing on the roof beside them. Srebarna peppered the students on the roof with her own Mg34. Pomorie looked as she spotted students on the roof as she continued to pepper paintballs on them.
"There on the roof!" Pomorie shouted as she spotted the students on the roof. Nakhimov looked at the students on the roof trying to hunt them down.
"Finish them all off!" Nakhimov shouted as he sprayed his Papasha at the students where Nina was hosing them down. "Pick them off one by one!" Varna raised her rifle as she fired at a student who was on the roof. She missed but they were getting bored and didn't want to get held up by the students on the roof. Brook sprayed at the roof as she darted across the balcony.
"Good hunting, let's move." Brook commanded the students to move up. Nina got off the mounted machine gun as she and Nakhimov were the first to dart across the balcony as Brook covered them. The students then began running as they had cover fire so they weren't being shot at. Once the last student scrambled across the balcony, Brook ducked back as she decided to continue on through the asylum. "Follow me." Brook called out as she continued to guide the group through the asylum. Suddenly paintballs were being sprayed at them as Brook and another student had made it across.
"Machine gun has the hallway covered, Pomorie, Rila, Varna, you three take it out." Brook told them as they began firing at the students that were trying to fire at them back. Pomorie looked ahead as the machine gun sprayed a burst at her. Pomorie ducked out as she gave a quick spray with her Mp-40, silencing the machine gun for a moment.
"Go go!" Pomorie shouted as Nina and Nakhimov darted across the hallway as the machine gun roared into life. Pomorie raised herself again, firing another quick burst to silence it again. "Keep moving." Pomorie encouraged the students to go two at a time as Srebarna and Alina were the next to rush over. They were now putting pressure on the other side as the machine gun began to roar once more. Pomorie did much the same thing, silence it and get a couple more students across. Pomorie and her friends gathered the courage to make their move to the other side as they needed to take it out complete. Pomorie was the first to make the run as Rila and Varna darted right after her. Once they were across, the students were still slowly making their way through this part of the asylum. Rila raised the Sturmgewehr as she began peppering it at the machine gun crew and the two other students that were hiding behind some cover. Pomorie rushed on ahead as she peppered the two students with her Mp-40 she immediately ducked behind cover motioning Srebarna to move up which she did as she was carrying her Mg34. She pushed the bipod down as she began spraying the paintballs at the students.
"Come on." Varna called out as Pomorie got out from behind cover. Pomorie rushed to the wall as she began peppering fire with Varna. Brook rushed on ahead to the next piece of cover and began firing away as well as she wanted to support the attack. One by one, the students advanced as they were firing away at their foes. Nakhimov noticed there was light at the end as they knew they made it to the other side.
"We're on point, keep moving." Nakhimov told the other students to finish this line off. The few remaining students began their long retreat out of the asylum as Brook decided to pursue them to the massive hole in the side of the asylum. She peeked out to find a Kv-2 and two T-34's as they were part of Katyusha's group. This was good news.
"Tovarisch… our tanks are now advancing." Brook called out as she jumped from the hole of the Asylum, the students followed along behind her as this was surely a good sign. One by one, the students exited the asylum as Pomorie decided to pepper one of the retreating students down with her Mp-40. Pomorie jumped out as she landed in the soft grass below before tumbling and getting onto her feet. Nina raced over as she boarded one of the T-34's as she got onto the turret and found a roof mounted Dp-28. She cocked it and began to fire away at the crowd to provide supporting fire. Pomorie had reached the wall where her group had been assigned but Nakhimov was ready to move.
"Up and over!" He shouted as he climbed over the wall, the other students did the same as Katyusha's group was helping storm and clear the streets. Pomorie climbed over when Varna did the same thing moments before. Pomorie noticed the large group of Kuromorimine students as they were retreating backwards. "They're abandoning their posts, we'll have a great match ahead!" Nakhimov shouted as he sprayed his Papasha into the crowd. Pomorie took a couple of shots as they were advancing along with the tanks. Katyusha on the other side of the street raced ahead as she was enjoying this.
"All the students are afraid of mighty Katyusha, look at the rats running, They're falling back to where the flag is and it is our job to take it out. They have lost all hope!" Katyusha screamed as they continued to clear the streets, Kuromorimine's grasp on the first defense had completely shattered.
This was the beginning of Kuromorimine's final beats from its heart.
[A/N]: I was pretty excited about making this chapter as this is the beginning to the climatic match between Pomorie, her friends and Pravda against Kuromorimine on the Graf Zeppelin itself and their job is to take out the flag on its parliament building by sundown. Whether they are successful will be determined. Part one of three.
