"Alright team. We have a match against West Kureoji Grona Academy next week, so I want to see the best performance that day!" Kaitlyn announces to her team.
Everyone begins to talk,
"What type of school is this?"
"Why haven't we ever heard of them?"
"Are they a bigger team than us? I don't think that many schools have a team ur size."
Kaitlyn hold her hand in silence.
"All the information I have is that they are a british school."
A low murmur beings to roll through the group
"The brits?"
"God I hate them and their damn matildas"
Kaitlyn impatiently clears her throat, and says to everyone in a loud booming voice.
"Alright thats enough chit chat. We need to get ready for the upcoming match, so I want everyone to hop into your tanks and get to your starting position."
The girls being to shuffle over to their tanks. Julia and Amber run over to Katsumi and Akina.
"Are you ready Cap'?" Julia asks her
Kat smiles at her and nods her head.
The group hop into the tank and Julia revs the engine. A big smile comes over her face as she begins to operate it. The familiar hum of the M4A1 Sherman's engine comforts Kat as they drive towards their spot. The edge of a massive oak forest.
Kat turns up her radio on the side, and slides her microphone onto her neck. Through the radio Kaitlyn counts everyone off.
"5…4…3…2…1… Happy hunting!"
The Sherman begins at a low hum, but soon starts to pick up speed before they head into the forest.
Kat looks through her slits in the top of the tank. As she surveys around she notices a barrel sticking out of a bush. The green barrel of the gun almost caught her off guard. She reaches for the microphone on her neck.
"Akine turn 80 degrees right, and fire!" Kat commands her gunner. Amber loads in the shell and grabs another one from her side.
Just as Akine finishes turning the turret, the forest erupts into a loud shot of a cannon and yelling. Calmly Kat points out the target, just as the shell gets closer and closer.
The 75mm shell barely scrapes off the side of the tank as Akine fires tank shakes to the side, but doesn't budge. The 76mm flies forward, and hits the tank. It hits the tank, and smoke flies everywhere. A small white flag pops up in the distance
"Great shot Akina!" Julia says, as she drives the sticks around maneuvering the tank. Another shot rings out on the field in front. Kat pops her head out from the hatch and orders her team to go in that direction. The tank drives forward into the light where two duos of tanks were having a brawl.
Kat pops her head out again, just in time for a shell to go whizzing past her hair. She immediately falls back down. She turns around and sees another tank behind them.
"Shit! That thing almost took my head off! Turn around and fire 180 Degrees behind us!" Kat says to her group. Another shot rings out behind them, and their tank lurches forward. And starts sliding down the hill
"God damnit!"
"Turn this damn tank around!"
"Ow! My head just hit something!"
"Hold the hell up, trying to turn a tank while sliding down a hill isn't easy ya know?!"
Julia jams the steers, and swerves so that the tank is facing backwards. She looks up and yells to Kat, "We're in position! Do whatever the hell you want now!."
Kat yells into her mic "Akina fire!"
Akina locks the target in her cross hair and fires. The cannon fires, and the shell flies through the air, and hits the ground missing the tank by a few feet
"Fuck!" Akina yells, as Amber throws in another shell, but at that exact moment, they're tank flies to the side, and rolls over. As the crew lies there, Julia gives a small laugh.
"Thank god we didn't fall upside down." Julia says, but is cut off just at that moment, the tank rolls on a diagonal, and lands on its head.
"Ow." Kat says, as she hits her head on the hatch
"I think I broke my back." Akina says as she groans in pain. Akina lays down on the hard tank walls and exhales.
Amber just sits there looking at the wall in font of her
"I think I'm getting light headed. We should probably exit the tank." Kat says, and she opens the emergency hatch towards the side. The group of four climb out, and the sunlight hits their bruised faces. Kat looks at their tank.
"Shit this thing took a beating. This is gonna be a bit before this thing is even fine again." Kat falls back onto the grass and lies there. Julia takes out her phone to call repair, and Akina engages in an argument with Amber talking about why 76mm are better than 75mm
*Few Hours Later*
Kat is sitting in the bath with her friends, taking a break off of the practice. Kat sinks lower into the water, and sighs.
"Man, getting hit takes my breath away. In the literal sense."
"Don't forget we're doing this the whole of next week and this week." Akina says to Kat. Kat groans to think of what is to come
"Well, I might as well get ready for that." and Kat submerges herself completely under the water.
