Episode 6: The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend


Treader leapt into the air and landed a hard punch to the face on the Autobot making an audible ring. The alien bot rolled as it landed on the ground and turned to the Autobot to charge once again.

The Panzer alien quickly recovered, its left arm shifted so two massive blades that were the side armor for the treads stuck out. With a grunt the transformer swung as the other mech charged at it, but last second it slid under its blade whistling as it sliced the air.

The smaller robot fired a round from its multi barrel cannon into the mid section of the Autobot.

"DAAGH!" the Panzer mech cried out as it dropped to a knee, "Treader! You were better than this!"

"This is already better than I could hope for!", Treader growled with primal instinct as he climbed atop of the Autobot onto its shoulders and aimed its cannons to the back of its head, "Perish Autobot- GAAGH!". Just as Treader was about to deliver the killing blow his body suddenly felt like it was being punched. Its shoulder and chest suddenly exploded. He fell back hard, shaking the ground.

The Autobot looked to where the shots came from to see a line of Shermans, a couple Fireflies, and a few Locusts. The front line Sherman had an angry looking blonde girl staring the alien down with a glare so heated it could melt down the armor of a tank. The robot stood itself up and sighed in relief, "Thank you for the assistance-".

"FIRE!" Kay screamed.

The Autobot gasped as the barrels dawned on her, "W-wait!"

The line of tanks hitched back one by one as they launched several shells.

The Autobot raised its arms as the storm of shells rained on her, "NAAH!" she cried as several spots of her mechanical body exploded. Her form was sent back landing feet in front of Treader.

The Sherman robot stood itself up as it analyzed the situation. Seeing its target had just taken fire from the oncoming front of enemy tanks it took an opposing position. Raising its multi barrel cannon it prepared to fire.

"No!" the Autobot shouted as it grabbed the cannon and redirected its fire away from the tanks before sending her knee straight to her opponent's face.

"GAH!" Treader staggered back from the punch before being struck by another shell and sent back.

The Autobot gasped as the canons of Kay's regiment aimed at her again, "Wait please! My means are to help!" she pleaded to convince them.

Kay's ears however drowned out the pleading, "Don't let up! Let'em have it!" she ordered.

The tanks continued firing.

"Wait!".

Kay looked over to see Oorari's tanks pulling up to the battle, "Alisa you take the lead with the first formation and keep the heat on them! Second formation stay back with me and lend them support!" she gave her orders.

The Hetzer pulled up just behind Kay's Sherman and out came Anzu's head, "Kay you need to focus your fire on the Sherman robot! The Panzer seems to be friendly!" she informed.

Kay's face twisted with rage, "Are you kidding me!" she snarled in anger, "Have you not seen what even one of these things can do! Now you want to befriend one?".

"We just want to better our chances of survival, and if this one is fighting with us then that means we have a better chance of winning, of us all making it out! Isn't that what you want for them!?" Anzu's words were like missiles hoping to break through to Kay.

Kay looked to her fellow comrades that continued to slowly advance forward and fire. The loud banging of the canons played the melody of power and destruction that rang in the blonde's ears. Flashes of the battle once again played, the entire scene played from start to end, and it felt like hours, but it was only seconds till Kay shook herself from her dark memories, "I can tell you from first hand experience that these things will only bring death… so I don't care if they fight against us or amongst each other. Because the one thing they have in common is that I'M GONNA SEND THEM TO THE SCRAP YARD!" her voice roared like the blast of a tank, "ALL TANKS ADVANCE!" and it carried the same power to.

The Saunders tank platoon advanced forward.

Anzu stretched a hand out to get the blonde's attention, "Kay stop!" Kay's willingness to listen was long gone as she closed the distance from the fighting mechs. Anzu glared at the treads on the Sherman before retreating back into the tank and taking her gunner position.

"Seems like she's pretty evident on getting revenge. It's almost scary." Yuzu grew concerned.

Momo turned to Anzu, "What do we do now prez?" her question was answered in a way that no one was expecting at all.

The Hetzer jolted back as a round was fired and struck the treads of the Sherman which fell off from the wheels.

The shock from the blast sent a wave of surprise through just about every girl to bear witness as they went wide eyed, slack jawed.

Momo blinked several times before adjusting her monocle to make sure her vision wasn't playing games with her, "P-p-p… ANZU! What the hell was that!" she screamed.

In the Type-3 Chi.

Aoi gasped, "Did that really just happen?".

"What do you think this means?" Nekota questioned.

"We shouldn't be fighting right now!" Momoga exclaimed.

Kay burst through the top hatch of her now imobile Sherman seething, "YOU BITCH!" she swore as her face grew red past the boiling point of her anger, "All tanks we have a new target! Oorari is to be considered hostile as of now! Alisa you continue with the frontline focusing on the robots, everyone else cover your six and engage Oorari!".

The blonde commander's orders sent arrows of distraught through the Saunders tank crews. However, despite the hesitance, the American tanks closest to the rear of the formation turned to assist their distressed commander.


A trickle of sweat inched down Keiko's jaw line and off her chin, "Looks like we're really doing this." she clenched the handles of the turret.

"We shouldn't be fighting like this in the first place! We have a common enemy!" Maria exclaimed as she readied another shell to be loaded.


Erwin gasped as she drew away from the scope, "This is like Operation Barbarossa." she smirked at the similarities.

Saemonza looked to her commander, "So does that mean that Saunders are the metaphorical Germans?".

"Can we not do this now!" Oryou barked.


The Saunders tanks had fully turned one-eighty with fully loaded canons and intent on following through with orders.

Kay held her microphone to her mouth and took a deep breath to scream the key word.

"Commander watch behind you!" Alisa blared through the ear piece.

Kay turned and gasped as a shadow loomed over her.

The Panzer robot flew over the line of Saunders tanks and landed in between the armored standoff.

Kay looked back and hitched in surprise with a gasp.

Treader was charging at the front line of tanks with a monstrous mechanical roar that shook the souls of the girls facing his wrath.

Alisa scrambled with the radio, "E-everyone scatter!" she commanded.

Everyone had begun their evasive maneuvers before the order was given. By sheer luck the tanks had evaded the mechanical beast's charge.

Treader ignored the persistent armored vehicles. They only served as distractions to set him off course from his main mission. Leaping over the next line of green tanks he pounced his prey.

The Panzer groaned as she sat up, "DAH!" the Autobot cried as she was pinned by a sudden weight. Her face was grabbed and forced to stare into the crimson eyes of evil.

"I like to see the life fade in the eyes of my prey!" Treader bellowed.

"NEGH! You won't see any today!" the Autobot rolled her opponent over and turned the tables.

At the same time however…

"FIRE!".

"FIRE!"

Kay and Anzu screamed.

The two rows of tanks exchanged fire at each other. In return the two mechs were sandwiched in the crossfire and were struck in the midst of their battle. The Sherman and Panzer aliens howled and groaned in pain as parts of their bodies were showered in explosions.

Kay growled as she tightened her grip on the radio, "Alisa, get your ass back with the main group and help us deal with Oorari!" she barked.

"Wait what do you mean deal with Oorari!? What's goi-!".

"JUST DO IT!" the blonde snarled.


Alisa flinched as her friend's voice boomed from the radio, "O-oh okay!" she replied like a sad puppy. Straightening herself up and clearing her voice she turned to the Sherman and two Locusts under her command, "You heard the commander! She needs our help!".

The four tank squad pushed forward to help their sisters.


Kay grew a wicked smile as Alisa's squad closed in on her. The blonde hopped out from the tank, "Let's get this damn tread fixed!".


The Type-89 took a shell dead on and was sent back a few feet as a white flag was displayed atop of its turret.

"We got taken out, sorry!" Noriko notified.

"It's okay! Abandon your tank and fall back to the garage and report to Miho!" Anzu ordered.

On Hippo team, Erwin punched the roof of the Stug before grasping the radio, "This is Hippo team! Those Fireflies are going to be a serious problem, so we'll take them out of the equation!" she announced.

The tank crew seemed shocked.

"How do you expect us to do that!"

"Please be careful, and steer clear of the fighting robots!" Anzu sent her best wishes.

"Our armor can give us a few hits to spare…" Erwin put a hand on her shoulder, "Trust me, just follow my orders and remember our drills." she reassured.

"Right… I trust you!" Saemonza.

"Let's do this ladies!" Erwin Battle cried, "We'll be just like Lafayette Green Pool!" she made a fist in sheer determination.

"Hell yeah!" the crew chanted.

The Stug zipped forward as more cannon fire filled the air with thunder and speckled the ground with craters.

Red hot tracer rounds sprinkled the air like confetti, but they went off like lines of firecrackers. Sparking off the armor of tanks or the mechanical hids of the androids.


Miho and the others hurried to open the doors as they saw the volleyball team run for cover from the exploding ground around them.

The crew of Duck team scurried into the garage, even being grabbed and pulled in by the other girls.

Once the doors were slammed shut Miho turned to the newly welcomed girls, "Noriko, what's happening out there!?" she questioned.

"Saunders is-! GAAAH!" she was interrupted as the garage wall was struck by a shell.

The flying rubble and dust caused the girls to cover their faces. Lucky for them none of them were harmed.

"Anzu fired on Saunders when commander Kay wouldn't listen to not fire on your tank robot… thing!?" Noriko exclaimed in a quick statement.

Anglerfish team was knocked back at the news.

"What are they thinking!?" Saori fummed.

"This is terrible!" Hanna followed.

"Their going to get killed out there if they don't work together!..." Yukari stated, "What should we do Miho!?".

Miho held her head as the fire outside made her ever more delirious, "I-!".

Another blast blew a hole in the garage causing the room full of injured tank operators to scream in terror.

Miho however seemed lost in her own head, "I… I... don't know…".


The Leopon team trudged it's heavy ton hull forward as a few shells bounced off. The Hetzer however, halted it's advance, putting itself in its way.

"Leopon team, we'll handle things here! Go assist the Panzer and try to keep Saunders off it!" Anzu directed as the Hetzer fired a shell.

"Understood prez! Just don't kick Saunders ass so hard that they hate us for this!".

"I think any and all regards for an alliance with us was blown apart along with Kay's treads.".


The two mechs eyed each other before charging each other.

"Please... don't make me do this..." the Autobot tried to reason.

"I have dozens of your comrades heads as trophies…" Treader boasted to get under his opponents skin, "But the true reward is the melody of their screams when I rip their allspark from their chest!".

"HRRRRUGH!" the Autobot charged with a glint of white flashing and dying in her pink eyes.

"RRRAAAWWW!" Treader roared as he to charged.

The distance closed between the two mechs as war continued to erupt around them.

*CLANK!*

*BOOM!*

The aliens' clash sent a shock wave of such greatness it shook the earth and cracked the ground beneath them.

Just as the mechs clash connected. Hippo team scurried just under their towering forms. The robot's arms making an arch for the Stug to pass under.

"Shit!" cursed as a metal foot stepped in front of their path.

Turning right, just under Treader's form.

The Fireflies main canons sounded off as they fired into the back of the Sherman mech. Their attention was redirected however, when the flat armored Stug accelerated between the two tanks.

The German tank made a beeline for the landed Super-Galaxy.

The Fireflies turned themselves and gave chase.


The Char-B1 drove into the side of a Sherman as it fired point blank with its 75mm from its hull.

"How are you going to just turn on us like that! We trusted you!" the Sherman tank commander poked from the white flagged tank.

From the top of the heavy tank, "Sorry but this is for your own good!" exclaimed.

Suddenly the armored vehicle was struck several times in the side of the hull and turret.

"GAH!".

"WOW!".

"WHY!".

The other triplets cried as their tank took an onslaught of shells. The smoking tank popped a small white flag from the top.

Alisa passed by with her tank regiment in a close follow as if the Char-B1 was nonexistent.

"You girls need a time out." Kay sneered as her revived tank strolled past.


The Stug evaded several explosions of hot shrapnel that uprooted around them.

The Fireflies kept their fire low so as to not hit their prized Super-Galaxy.

Erwin gave a cheeky laugh, "I knew they'd hold back as to not hit their own bird! Continue with the plan!.".

The Stug turned sharply, making its way to the tail of the plane.

One of the Fireflies veered to the nose while the other kept on its target to hopefully trap it in a pincer formation.

"Caesar, you ready to put that loading training to use?" Saemonza peered back to her friend.

"You'll have a new shell before Erwin can think of a war reference." the loader grinned with a round in her hands.

The Stug rounded the tail of the plane with a drift.

The Firefly came turning around the front at the same time.

"Fire!" Erwin barked.

*BAM!*

The Firefly was sent spinning in the dirt as a flag popped from its smoking hull.

"Now Oryou!".

"YAAH!" the driver pushed and pulled at the levers.

The Stug suddenly stopped, turned one-eighty, and jerked into full reverse at the same time.

The Firefly came fast around the tail of the plane in close pursuit with the German tank.

Caesar slammed the new round in, "Shell ready!".

"Fire!"

The Firefly and Stug fired simultaneously as their cannons cracked the air.

The Firefly jolted as its hull was left with a smoldering black spot and a white flag signifying its decommission.

At the same time the treads of the Stug exploded sending the flat tank drifting before flipping over upside down. The treads clumped to the ground lifelessly as a white flag popped from the under belly.


"HRAGH!" the Autobot grunted as it fell back, but quickly recovered with a back roll to its feet.

A few shells zipped past her from a Sherman and Locust, but the Hetzer was quick to her aid in taking them off her back. The Stug was speeding off toward the large plane with two Fireflies on its rear trying to hit it in some sort of epic game of tag. And descending on her position fast seemed to be the blonde tank commander and her friend with the short brown pigtails with more armored reinforcements as they made quick work of the Char-B1.

Turning her focus back to the other Cybertronian currently about to pounce on her once again. She aimed her canon at her opponent and fired a shot which missed, but really she was just buying time. As her right arm transformed into a dull trapezoid like shape, suddenly the treads along her arm snaked over the trapezoid shape before moving at breakneck speed.

Treader growled as the shell from a punny tank nicked its side. His determination and efforts honed solely on killing this treacherous waste of energon, "Weakling! YOU WILL FA-!" as the Sherman transformer was just feet from his opponent. His battle rant was cut off by a club-like weapon smashing into his face, but it didn't stop there. The treads on the blunt weapon were moving with such speeds it was actually tearing and shredding at his face, "NAAAAaGH!" he cried as he fell flat on his hands with drips of green fluid leaking from the shredded side of his face.

Just a few yards from where Treader collapsed was the M3-Lee.

"EEP!".

"WAAAA!".

"OH MY GOD!".

"IT'S HUGE!".

The crew of Rabbit team exclaimed all at once as fear and shock drowned their minds.

Treader growled as he looked up with an enraged glowing crimson glare at the small tank.

The girls paled at the terrifying site.

"What do we do!" Karina cried out terrified.

"F-FIRE!" Azusa ordered with shaky vocals.

The large mech raised its arm as to block the tank's cannon fire, and to top off the annoyance the machine gun fired and sparked off its face like firecrackers. "DAH!" he flinched from the swarm of bullets., "Why you puny little- GAH!" he howled as the Panzer Autobot toppled him with her weight to stop him from standing.

"Please don't shoot me!" the Panzer mech pleaded as she held down the aggressive transformer.

However, a round struck the peaceful robot despite its nonaggressive actions towards the tank crew. The Autobot's right shoulder blossomed into pieces of metal and fire, "AWWW!" she cried as she was pushed off Treader from the force of the shot.

The Rabbit team gasped in shock.

"Who fired that!" Karina angrily shouted.

"It wasn't me I swear!".

"Neither was it me!".

Both gunners of the M3-Lee defended their innocence.

Azusa gasped in realization, "Behind us!' the tank commander looked back. Low and behold an American Locust was stationed to their left, but its sights veered off the fighting mechs and onto the M3, "Oh no!" Azusa exclaimed, "Karina reverse REVERSE!" her voice shrieked.

"NEH!" Karina grunted as she shifted into full reverse.

The American tank jolted backwards just as the Locust fired. The Round just missed the tanks weakest spot and scratched the side armor forming a black scratch as the shell blew a crater in the ground.

The M3-Lee skid to a halt before adjusting its position so both cannons were locked on to its rear armor and fired in sync.

The Locust lurched forward as its rear began to protrude black smoke and a white flag to top it off.

"Ooh, I hope they don't hate us after this." Aya tapped her fingers in concern.

"Oh my God!" Karina cried out.

Suddenly a large foot connected with the American tank and sent it rolling till remaining stationary on its side after seconds of rolling.

Treader snarled, "Pathetic humans!..." he then turned to his downed opponent.

The Panzer transformer laid on her back as she held her sparking shoulder currently missing a chunk. The rest of her body however wasn't in much better shape though, "Deh!" she whined as the sparks sent bolts of pain.

Treader stepped forward, "Time to finish this." he raised his charging triple barrel cannon. Suddenly a shell whistled like a comet right above his head, turning to his right to see the Porsche Tiger approaching.

"Dammit I missed!" Keiko cursed.

"Reloading!' Maria announced.

"Hold your fire!" Reira ordered, "Keiko, I want you to turn the gun one hundred eighty degrees!".

Kaiko looked back, not believing her ears, "What!? Reira the target is right in front of us!" she exclaimed.

Treader turned his weapons towards the oncoming armored war machine.

"Just trust me Keiko!".

"Fine!" Keiko compiled irritably.

"Tsuchiya you ready!" Reira asked.

"On your word!" the driver replied.

Reira looked ahead once again.

Treader's cannons spun as they charged about to fire upon the heavy tank.

"Punch it!" Reira barked.

Tsuchiya slammed hard on the red button that always seemed to make itself known to the tank driver. Just asking to be pressed, and now its desires were fulfilled.

The engine of the slow tiger suddenly roared like its namesake beast as it dug into the earth to propel itself forward at breakneck speed,

The blasts from the attacking robot's weapons went off feet from its initial spot.

Treader was shocked by the sudden revelation of speed from the tank as it darted in between its legs.

"Holly shit it works!" Tsuchiya exclaimed in astonishment. Her sunny expression suddenly died out along with the engine as it sputtered out of commission.

The smoking engine was followed by an explosion as its friend fire joined in on the tank.

"Aww, so close!" the driver whined.

The turret suddenly stopped as it rotated in the opposite direction of their target, or so Keiko thought, "Gun ready!".

"Steady." Reira calmy spoke.

The Porsche's speed dropped, but it continued on a fast path as it burned and smoked, speeding between the towering mechs legs.

"Steady!" the Porsche commander held up her palm.

The rear end of the enemy was in the crosshairs of Keiko's vision, "Reira!" she growled.

"FIRE!" Reira barked.

*BOOM!*

"GAAAH!" Treader roared in pain as he fell to his knees. The shell shot straight through his midsection leaving flames and pieces of metal.

The Porsche tiger slowed to a halt, the flames from the engine dying with the speed. A white flag said hello to the world as it made itself known.

Keiko turned to her friends with a toothy grin, "Hey guys… I just unloaded a round into his ass." she wiggled her eyebrows.

Her friends groaned in displeasure.

"Keiko, I really don't think now is the time for jokes." Maria groaned in exhaustion.

"Okay, but I LITERALLY unloaded a round into his ass!".

"Okay we get it just cram it wontcha!" Maria barked.

Keiko pouted and crossed her arms, "Touchy…" she mumbled.

Treader turned to the out of commission tank with the sudden urge and desire to make that tank go out of commission permanently, "You humans…" he raised himself up to aim, "All deserve to DIE!" he growled. Suddenly a shell made contact with his weapon arm, "NOOO!" he howled as his arm exploded into black smoking pieces. He turned his head left to see yet another persistent annoying little tank charge.

The Type-3 Chi sped to the aid of the Porsche Tiger.

"Nice shooting Piyotan!" the cat themed commander cheered.

"That's one for the books!" Momoga held her arms up in an 'X' shape as the crew shared their designated high five.

Treader raised his cannon, only to see it wasn't there anymore. His arm instead was mangled metal and sparking wires.

The Japanese tank was suddenly shot in the side of its large turrets and treads.

"MEOW!" Nekota cried as they were taken out from the fight.

Alisa maneuvered around the tank, "Surround it!" she pointed towards Treader.

Treader growled as several American tanks surrounded him. His opponent was down and out behind him, he could finish her now and make off before they could fire at him. Better yet maybe even use her as a shield, but they probably would just shoot at them both anyway. His armor and body was littered with blast holes and missing pieces where green liquid leaked from. His main weapon had been shot off so he couldn't attack from long range.

"Stop... all this... now Treader..." the Autobot's voice was weak.

Kay had strolled past the line of tanks to take the attention of the mech. She pushed the hatch up as she popped her head out. Her eyes rivaled the primal rage of that of the Sherman alien, "I'd ask if you have any last words, but to be honest… I don't care…" she sheathed before raising an arm to the sky and thrusting it forward, "FIRE!".

The Remaining Sherman's and Locust's fired. Their cannons cracked like thunder and the shells traveled with speeds of lightning.

Treader dropped on all fours that way all the shells went overhead.

Kay gawked and grew nervous as the attack failed and the mech looked right at her, "Reload quickly!" but the order wasn't fast enough.

Treader leapt at the blonde tank commander. His shadow loomed over her fear-paled face like a cloud of hopeless despair. Rearing his hand back to deliver the final blow, suddenly a metal arm coiled around his neck, "What!?" he exclaimed in surprise. His next surprise came in the form of a blade sprouting through his chest, "NOOOOO! GAAAH!" he cried as his chest exploded into flames and blue sparks. The blade retracted back causing Treader to fall forward onto his knees and remaining hand. His mouth spat a glump of green liquid, "This planet… is doomed… harboring an A-Autobot… you will all… die for thi-!",

*SHRLEEK!

Treader's head fell from its Body and rolled towards Kay's tank and bumped against the hull.

Kay flinched back as she looked down at the head.

His red eyes looked up at her flickering with life until their last glimmer dimmed to a dull lifeless grey.

Kay looked up with dilated pupils to see the Panzer bot still standing.

The Autobot's pink eyes faded in and out. Her feet stepped back as to try and keep her balance. Her body wobbled with each step until the fatigue dropped on her at last, forcing the mech on her knees as she grasped her sparking shoulder. Her whole body as a matter of fact was in rough shape.

"Commander your orders!?" Alisa called out from the tank beside her friend

Kay snapped herself from her shock, "Let's finish this here and now! All tanks!..." she raised hand.

The Autobot closed its eyes, "Sorry Optimus." she thought her final thoughts.

"FI-!".

"STOP!"

The Hetzer suddenly drifted in between the mech and wall of tanks minding Treader's body with Anzu's form sticking out.

"I can't let you do this Kay!" Anzu protested.

Kay growled in annoyance, "Angie I am giving you one last chance to get the hell out of my way! Considering the shit up pulled off a few minutes ago I shouldn't even be this considerate!" she screamed.

Anzu was persistent however, "I know your not stupid Kay! I know you know that this one is different! But instead of seeing the potential good it can do your letting your hate affect everyone else around you! Just look!" the president waved around.

Kay turned to see many of the tanks from her school and those of Oorari smoking and damaged from cannon fire. The crews of the tanks were fine, but they all looked at the scene with terror in their eyes. Exhaustion. Fear. Even those she led, her own units that looked to her with confidence and proud to take her orders. Now those eyes reflected pools of hidden distress in their depths. Like they were alarmed by her recent actions, but are too afraid to confess. Even Alisa seemed reluctant to make direct eye contact with her.

"Enough!" Miho ran in between the standoff, "Stand down Anzu!" she then turned to Kay.

"Miho these things have killed my school. Do you really want that to happen to yours!" Kay kept her tightening throat from shaking her voice.

Miho on the other hand saw right through Kay's armor and into her concealed feelings.

"Dah!" The Autobot cried as she fell to her hand with a lime green substance dripping out.

Miho's face dropped the stone cold sternness to make room for a softer more sympathetic expression, "I know you're mad Kay about your school… and about Naomi…".

Kay's breath sharply inhaled as a chill went down her spine.

"And I know you're only trying to protect what you have left of your friends and your school, but look at her…" Miho gestured to the Panzer mech.

The students of Saunders and Oorari all looked up to the dying robot. Her posture was slouched and many parts of her armor were torn to shreds and charred black. Like fireflies, sparks flew from open wounds and gushed green liquid.

Kay clenched her eyes shut for a few seconds, but when she slowly opened them they made contact with the mech's dull pleading eyes. For a machine there was much emotion to be felt from its gaze.

"She saved our lives, Kay. Yet despite being shot in the back countless times by you she continued to fight for us rather than against us. Is that not evidence enough that her heart is in the right place?!".

The spotlight was now on Kay as dozens of eyes drilled into the back of her skull, she spared a final glance at the downed Autobot. The blonde's face crinkled once again in disgust, "A-All tanks!..." she raised her arm once again.

The tension in the air was so thick it was hard to breathe.

The surrounding tank crews look ever more worried for their commander.

Anzu's teeth barred as she retreated into her tank to prepare for another shoot out.

Kay looked around at the destruction of what had behold them from fighting amongst themselves. The thought once again about Saunders, about Naomi and the destruction that rained there too. She looked at the large metal corpse sprawled in front of her and Miho, remembering the lust for death in its eyes. Then at the Panzer once again. There was a significant difference in how they made her feel.

"K-Kay…" Alisa whimpered from behind. With tears in her eyes she continued to plead to her friend, "Please don't make us fight anymore…" she choked on a sob.

Kay's eyes dilated in horror as realization dawned on her. None of them wanted this. It was so clear that they had just suffered through something so tragic that she had practically forced them to fight and disregard their allies. Slowly she lowered her trembling hand, "Stand down…" she softly announced.

But the small statement sent a heavy wave of relief through everyone's weary bodies.

The Autobot fell face forward into the ground just feet from the Hetzer.

Anzu and the Turtle team crew exited the tank and joined Miho in front of the fallen droid.

"Hey are you okay!? Please stay with us!" Miho begged.

The Panzer mech in response groaned weakly.

Anzu turned to her friends, "Get some chains from the garage, we're gonna pull her in by hooking her up with the Hetzer." she ordered.

Momo ran a hand through her hair, "Prez, do you think the automotive club will be able to fix this?" she asked with little confidence.

"They can…" Miho bent down and put a hand on the metal head of the Autobot, "They have to." her mood countered Momo's.


The Autobot was pulled into the garages where many of the injured girls taking shelter there were struck with fear and shock.

Many began protesting abruptly until Kay had settled them down and explained the situation.

Miho sighed in relief, "Thanks for that Kay." she pulled the blonde aside to commend.

Kay looked away looking a bit guilty as she stuffed her hands in her jacket, "Look Miho… I'm really sorry about the way I acted out there. By no means is that how a leader should behave under pressure.".

Miho smiled warmly, putting a hand on the blonde's shoulder, "You were only trying to protect your friends." she reassured.

"I know, but I guess I need to remember that you guys are also my friends…" that comment made the Nishizumi glower even more, "However, I will continue to protect what I have left of my school, so if your judgment is wrong I will not hesitate to resort to drastic measures to annihilate it." Kay turned from the hand on her shoulder and left Miho in her thoughts.

The battle field laid littered with wrecked tanks from both Oorari and Saunders, nothing that couldn't be fixed from tournament style damage, but it wasn't all going to be fixed in any time soon.

Everyone was okay from the most part, those from Saunders suffered minimal damage. As well as from Hippo, Leopon, and Anteater teams, but it was Rabbit team that suffered the worst.

When Anglerfish went to assist the M3-Lee they were shocked to find all the freshman lined up sat against the turned over tank. A couple had some roughed up foreheads if the bloodied gashes was any indication, but it was Saki that remained standing and fell into Mako's arms exhausted. Apparently she had pulled all her unconscious teammates out, after check ups the diagnosis was clear of anything major, they would all recover.

No casualties were reported in the entire battle.

The Automotive club had begun what repairs they could or at least knew how to do on the massive alien that was held up with chains. They stopped the bleeding of the green unknown substance in every spot that leaked.

An hour into the job and the robot began to stir awake.

At first everyone had flinched up and were just about ready to book it.

Even the automotive clubbed kept their distance.

But Kay had stopped their panic thinking that their sudden skammering to flee would frighten the alien.

The Autobot's pink eyes opened into focus. Her vision was fuzzy before piercing together to see herself surrounded by a sea of terrified girls. Her arms moved, but were quickly stopped followed by the rattle of chains keeping her wrists bound above her.

Reira stepped up to the feet of the Autobot as she noticed the rise of panic in the alien, "Hey hey hey it's okay, it's okay." she waved down with a soothing voice.

"P-please! Please don't hurt me! I was only trying to help!" the Autobot cried out in its accented metallic tone.

Reira glared at the chains around the wrists before rushing over to where the chains were tied around at.

Kay noticed this, "Hey, don't!" she went to stop her when one of the automotive members stepped in her path.

"I wouldn't." Keiko barred her teeth.

The chains around the large metal hands suddenly slackend before falling to the ground with a rattle and clunk.

The Autobot stared at her freed arms in surprise.

Reira returned with a bright smile, "See, we're not gonna hurt you." she put a hand on the foot of the mech.

The Autobot seemed to calm at this notion. That was until she laid eyes on Kay's face which reminded her of Treader's bloodlust vibe.

The second Miho caught wind that the Panzer droid had awoken, she and the rest of the Anglerfish team had raced over. The team had just rounded the corner to the entrance to the garage and gasped as they raised their heads up.

The Panzer mech was crouched on one knee while holding an arm up for Tsuchiya to work on with the welder as she stood on a lift to reach the mech's height. The rest of the automotive club were busy giving attention to other parts of the body. The damage to the shoulder would be a last group effort.

The Autobot suddenly realized the girls presence, "You are Miho Nishizumi." she stated.

Miho seemed a bit taken back, but quickly collected herself, "Yes. Yes I am. And you are?".

The Panzer alien looked around to see the girls of Saunders seemed to be less afraid and now more intrigued, but still on guard, "My name is… Rustung." she announced, "Member of the Autobot rebellion." she stated which got a lot of confusing looks from the crowd of girls.

Erwin snickered, "Her name literally means armor. Am I the only one that thinks that's too perfect?".

"Shh!" Saemonza shushed.

Miho nodded with a hum as introductions were exchanged, "Well Rustung, I have questions.".


The Northern waters were a harsh environment with a cold bitter heart that kept the ice caps solid and firm. The wind howled like a pack of wolves as the force of air raised the water into treacherous waves. Like large hands emerging from the depths and smacking against the side of an enormous iceberg.

However, it was no iceberg.

Moving ever so calmly through the raging snow storm was an enormous aircraft carrier with a bow that stretched long and curved up. Yet another city on water, but drowned in snow. The populace seemed to have adapted to their frigid climate as their roads remained clear and the stores and buildings continued to function with power.

A neighboring iceberg gave its hello to the passing vessel, however a set of dangerous eyes eyed the ship with more sinister intent. The hind alien mech growled as its three eyes glimmered with rage.

He had told Treader not to engage unless he was compromised, yet he got cocky and let himself get caught because the fool wanted to have fun. Not only were these humans dangerous in numbers, but trying to face the Autobot with its human support.

Idiot!

Although his efforts were not in vein, before Treader's demise he was able to lure the Autobot fugitive from its hiding and even get the humans to turn on one another. Luckily his ex-companion had sent bits of his memory to be reviewed by his master like a spliced together recording.

The Cybertronian saw what was sent. The hind knew that there were other ships like the one he attacked, but it was the first he saw of Oorari. He also knew other leaders these humans took their commands from from the different schools. He knew that they were now in possession of the Autobot if they hadn't killed it yet however. Most importantly, he knew of their next move.

The humans are planning their own investigation into the matter by getting answers from this "Pravda" thinking it was a person till later after research of his own found out that it had been the ship he had first encountered when he and Treader had arrived on this pitiful planet. The schools network allowed him access into the knowledge that explained the purpose of these floating cities and more on the warriors they trained. This "Sensha-Do" seemed to be a sport of some kind in which well trained young female humans use such powerful vehicles. With this information he could better accumulate a plan and execute it more flawlessly. He would end the small humans investigation here, and no number of tanks or help from the Autobot could save them.

This Autobot was a weak fighter, but was warned by his master of what power she possessed.

This planet would fall. These ships would make the bottom of the sea their new homes. And this Sensha-Do Federation would burn.

The helicopter transformer growled again as his plan formulated, "A fool you were, old friend... I will hold the vow we made that day, I will restore order to Cybertron..." he swore in his honor before turning to the ship, "By whatever means necessary. Leaping into the frosty wind his form began to reshape with mechanical sounds before the propellers of a hind helicopter sent the robot in disguise towards the ship.
