A couple days went by as the school of Saunders was crowded. Thousands of students were rounded up as they were brought in, they indeed collapsed under the lack of leadership. Katyusha was at the radio as she began to speak as the students were escorted in.
"Today on this cold day, we're out of the Bering strait as we're heading for home but that isn't the case, the liberal forces have surrendered and when we get to Japan, they will be sent back to the country where they belong. A 25 year vacation to Siberia. Hopefully in the next week or two the students of Saunders will return to normal as we fought hard and valiantly. Hopefully we can call an end to all of this. Students will be returned to their schools in the next few days and we can resume our duties like what they were before. Also the 64th National Sensha-Do Tournament will be postponed to next year due to the events that resulted from this rebellion MEXT wasn't aware of. So in its place compound free-for-alls would be the theme so if you want to get together and hold some matches, let each other know. This is Katyusha signing out." Katyusha told the announcements as the students cheered to their foes surrender. Several Pravda students were playing music outside while one of them sprayed her Papasha in the air. Brook was walking to one of the many makeshift hospitals that were made to take in wounded students. Kay began to stir as the upper part of her body was bandaged together as she had been wounded. She was listening to the reports as she knew she was thankful to be okay. Brook soon approached the front desk.
"I would like to see Kay if she is here." Brook told the one at the front desk if the head of Saunders' Sensha-Do team was around. She looked up as she began to speak.
"I'm sorry but I don't think she is here, sorry." The lady at the front desk told Brook. Brook was a bit frustrated as she continued to speak.
"Klara told me she was here and I want to speak to her." Brook told the lady as she looked through the pages, she soon spotted the name as she snapped to her.
"Oh yeah, she's in the back but please don't take too long." She told her. Brook huffed thankful as she soon came around as she wanted to see Kay. Kay was laying in her bed as Brook came forth to her. She soon began to speak.
"Kay, I thought you were dead, how are you feeling?" Brook asked as she was leaning down to face the girl. Kay sat up as she saw Brook.
"Stiff but now in high spirits seeing you've come to visit." Kay responded as she was grateful that her friend came out to see her. She threw her arms around her as she was more than thankful that she saw Brook again. Brook soon began to speak.
"Remember that promise I made? I want you to have this." Brook told Kay as she handed Yuri's scoped Kar98k. "I got her dead and got her rifle too." Kay looked at her as she began to speak.
"I'm glad you were able to make it through this as you did go through a lot in a couple of months. You did the right thing even though some options were better." Kay told her as Brook began to feel guilty of killing Yuri right there.
"I want to go back to being a lover not a fighter. Slaughtering Yuri in cold blood makes me guilty of committing something like this. Would a more peaceful option be the case?" Brook asked as she was wondering about any different options. Kay looked at her as she began to speak.
"Even if you try to reason with her, she would insist you are wrong, I've tried it and I got no results. It was best to put her out of her misery in the end." Kay told Brook as she raised her hand. She soon placed it on the girl as she continued to speak. "Not everything is going to go your way. Even if you wish things to go differently, you sometimes won't be granted your wish."
"Okay I understand what you are trying to tell me but I don't want to go around slaughtering anything in the future." Brook told her as Kay soon looked at her.
"Don't worry, that is all up to you on how you will decide on things." Kay soon patted her on the back. Brook felt uplifted by her friend as Kay soon decided to move on to something else. "Hey before you leave back for Pravda, can I see your hair?" Kay asked as Brook wanted to figure out what she meant by that. Brook soon sat down taking her ushanka off as her hair was a mess. Kay looked at it as she immediately got to work. After a few minutes of playing around with her hair. Kay soon took the mirror as she showed it to Brook. Brook looked like when she first got to Saunders, though she looked much older and not as innocent.
"Trying to make me look young?" Brook asked Kay who laid back down into her bed. Kay looked at her friend as she began speaking to her.
"Yes I did, I think you looked good this way." Kay admitted as she looked over her. She soon gently rubbed Brook's hair which she knew the girls hair was long and silky due to the fact that she showered recently. "Possibly because you were very cute. I didn't admit that did I?" Kay asked. Brook soon got up as she knew she needed to return to her school.
"It was nice paying you a visit and hopefully I can change my mind and start being more like you, maybe even play against you one day." Brook told her. Kay soon leaned over giving Brook a peck on her cheek. She soon turned as she soon spoke.
"I'll see you then." Kay smiled for her friend. And with that, Brook ended up leaving the makeshift hospital as she knew that everything had been cemented, she had reconciled with Saunders, got into a school that she wanted, destroyed her mortal foes, what next lay ahead for her.
Brook was riding on the same convoy train later that day as she was heading away from Saunders. Nina and Alina were onboard too as they were finally heading home.
"I reckon that this was an adventure all on its own." Nina began. Brook and Alina looked at her as they knew yes, it was.
"I think this changed me as a person on who I was, I know there are challenges ahead and hardships that will drag us down, it's not an easy world that we live in." Brook stated as Alina looked over to her friend. She began speaking.
"I wonder what Katyusha will say about us seeing how we managed to put all of our hardships behind us. We should be optimistic about this." Alina told them as she soon looked over to Nina, she noticed that the girl's brown hair was falling out and in its place, healthy patches of black hair were coming in. "Looks like Nina is molting again." Nina looked up as she pulled out some of her brown hairs.
"Looks like she's right." Nina told them as they were the only students in the car seeing how Katyusha was more than generous to give them luxury but why? This was to lie ahead.
Once getting back to the Pravda School ship, all of the students were rounded up to one part of the ship as they wanted to hold a parade for them. Katyusha first wanted to give out awards to those that have proven themselves worthy. She was wearing her victory uniform as she played a major role in the rebellion.
"Nonna gets the Order of victory, Order of the Red Banner, and Order of Alexander Nevsky." Katyusha finished reading off a long list of medals Nonna got for her bravery and service that she hosted. Klara walked up as she began attaching the medals to Nonna's uniform along with many others due to her performing the most amount of tasks. Katyusha soon began reading along next. "Nina, Alina, you two for your performances get the Order of the Red Banner, Order of the Red star and Order of the Patriotic War 1st class, for your service during the rebellion. I hope you two continue to perform more as I think you will make a nice addition to Pravda's Sensha-Do team and are the most productive out of all the members." Katyusha told them as they both performed very similarly in their actions. Klara walked up as she began awarding them by placing their medals on their chests as they both had made Katyusha proud.
"Thank you Katyusha, we promise to get you more victories as well as hopefully more adventures and help those in need." Nina told Katyusha as she was more than pleased to get the medals. Katyusha nodded as she soon had one more person to speak about.
"Brook Taylor, even though you didn't join Pravda from the beginning, your skills proved valuable and by the looks of things, you've disrupted the enemy lines and picked off valuable targets. Your total knockout count before the take down of the leader was about 242 students, 11 out of these 242 students knocked out were enemy snipers. As your reward for your constant sniping and intelligence gathering, your medal will be the Hero of Pravda medal which is the highest honorary title of medals the school could offer. You will also be entitled to free medicine, priority dorming, a 50% reduction on essentials, medical benefits and a free visit to a guidance counselor if your action with Yuri rubbed you the wrong way." Katyusha told her about the medal that was the highest anyone could get. Klara soon took the medal as she soon attached it to Brook seeing how she managed to lead the school to victory. The students yipped and cheered seeing one of their own get such a reward. Katyusha soon looked at them as she soon began to speak. "Now let's begin the parade to make our students proud." Katyusha walked off stage as everyone went to their spots in the parade.
Brook had gotten herself onto one of the T34's as she was going to be playing music to make sure the people could hear it. It was the accordion she was holding onto from the beginning as she was now ready to sing the song of victory.
"Seeing how we're going to show off to the public, what should we sing with our voices to let the people know of this glorious victory?" Nonna asked as she looked over from her IS-2. Brook looked back at her as she wanted to pick the choice.
"красная армия самая сильная?" Brook asked as she was willing to play that on the accordion. Nonna laughed and nodded as decided to let Katyusha take the lead. The tanks began rolling forth as they were going to lead the parade as they continued to plow ahead. Once they were coming into the crowd. Brook began playing her accordion to the tune as she wanted to let the students take over with their voices. She, Klara, Nonna, Nina and Alina soon began as they wanted to impress the people.
"Белая армия, чёрный барон Снова готовят нам царский трон, Но от тайги до британских морей Красная Армия всех сильней." The five of them began to sing. Katyusha had no idea what they were saying as the others began to join in.
"Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой! "Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой!" The others sang out. Katyusha was still leading as the people from the streets began throwing flowers and confetti at them.
"Красная Армия, марш марш вперёд! Реввоенсовет нас в бой зовёт. Ведь от тайги до британских морей Красная Армия всех сильней!" The five of them sang out again. Soon the students began to sing out again.
"Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой! "Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой!" The students sang out with glee. The crowd was still throwing flowers at the girls seeing how they managed to pull off a victory like this. Soon the five of them began singing again.
"Мы раздуваем пожар мировой, Церкви и тюрьмы сравняем с землёй. Ведь от тайги до британских морей Красная Армия всех сильней!" They were still being thrown with bountiful gifts as the students took over for them one last time as they wanted to wrap this up and get the song over with.
"Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой! "Так пусть же Красная Сжимает властно Свой штык мозолистой рукой, И все должны мы Неудержимо Идти в последний смертный бой!" The students finished up as Nonna looked at her.
"Well looks like the students love you for what you've done. With the year almost ready to start, do you want to apply for a third program?" Nonna asked Brook. Brook paused as she knew that she could participate in 3 programs at once. She looked over to her friend as she began to speak.
"I'll think about it, but with the war against the liberals now over, should I try my hand again at Sensha-Do?" Brook asked, wondering if she would make Kay happy by once again participating in a sport that she despised at the beginning. Nonna looked at her as she began to speak.
"That's entirely up to you but I suggest you do join since your friends are a part of the program. You don't want to feel left out from it right?" Nonna looked at Brook as if she was telling her to join. Brook soon began to speak as if the feeling was hard to swallow for her.
"Let me get back to my dorm and rest up, the rebellion has made me exhausted." Brook replied. Nonna nodded for her friend as she knew that she would need the rest.
"Get some sleep when you get back okay, it will give you time to think about it." Nonna suggested as Brook began to yawn. It was as if she was beginning to fall asleep. Nonna and Klara decided to help Brook back to her dorm as they placed her on her bed. Doing the generous thing, they tucked her in as if they wanted to make her feel comfortable. They soon left her as they just left Brook to nap.
She will make the choice in the end and she wanted to do this for her friends.
[A/N]: Rebellion is now over so there will be a couple more chapters afterward wrapping things up. I'm finally happy with how this will end as if the adventure is beginning all over again. Makes me smile thinking about it. That is all for now. Goodbye.
