City of Kuromorimine

Mike's Position

Mike was moving carefully from building to building, moving through the rubble of what was left of the area he was in. He had some burn marks from when he escaped the tank. He was panicking about what he would do if he was the last one alive.

Just keep moving…you'll see them again. Was the thought that kept him moving. He didn't know where he was going, naturally, so he decided that the next intact building was going to be his vantage point. He looked for about 30 minutes before he found one. Damn Saunders and their airstrikes… He thought while climbing the building. He kept going until he couldn't climb anymore, meaning he couldn't get to the roof. He pulled out his pistol and kicked in a door. He could climb through one of the apartments, and luckily, the one he busted in was unoccupied. He holstered his gun and opened the window, the roof was a good 3 feet above it, it was easy, so he was up for the job. He climbed onto the windowsill and hoisted himself onto the edge of the windowsill and climbed onto the roof. From there he could see a building that resembled the Reichstag.

"Hmm…must be the school." He said to himself. "That's where they must be heading." He heard the cracking of machine gun fire in the distance, knowing that it was suicide to go there without a tank, he thought of the others. "I better help them. Any way I can." He climbed back down into the apartment and raced down to the street. He began to run as fast as he could towards the school. He stopped after a few minutes of running, knowing he didn't want to expend all his energy just getting there. He walked the rest of the way, right into an advancing column of Pravda's tanks. The commander ordered her tank to stop and hopped down.

"Are you alright, Comrade?" She asked. She was a bit shorter than Mike, but she had a tank. That's when it hit him. He was dressed in his uniform, that of a Russian tanker. She must've thought he was part of Pravda. He just nodded.

"My tank was knocked out. Mind if I hitch a ride with your column?" Mike asked.

"да." Was all she said. He climbed onto the engine deck and gave her a thumbs up. She ordered her tanks to continue moving forward. He grabbed onto a handle on the back of the T-34-85's turret and hung on. I'm coming Jay…I'm coming…

Shield 4's Position…

The Pershing rolled to a stop on the end of the street corner. Suzuki was on the bow gun, ready to open fire on Leon's command.

"AJ, get ready to move on my command. Michael, I'll give the order to fire." Leon said. Hoshino was watching from a distance. She was a little upset that Leon had not let her onto the tank, but at the same time she was glad he was worried for her. Besides, the injury might flare up again and he didn't want that to affect her fighting. She noticed something move down the street. She saw it and Leon had seen it as well. It was a Panther.

"Alright, AJ Move ahead at full speed!" The Pershing accelerated, closing the distance rapidly. The Panther's commander noticed and ordered her tank's gunner to turn the turret towards the oncoming tank. "Stop! FIRE!" The tank skidded to a stop and fired, but since the gun was a bit lower than Michael predicted, the shot hit the ground.

"Shit!" Richard picked up another shell from the ammo rack and loaded it.

"Your Clear Michael!"

"Round away!" Michael fired, but the shell bounced off the front plate of the Panther, ricocheting into a nearby building. "Come Richard, Come on Now!" The breech slammed closed.

"You're Clear Mike!"

"Advance!" The tank accelerated once more, throwing the gun up and causing the shot to miss. The two tanks were driving at each other with such speed, that the gunners both miscalculated their shot timing. The shells both bounced, and the tanks passed each other.

"Traverse Right! Right stick!" AJ stopped the tank and used its neutral steering to turn the tank fast. The gun traversed right and got on target, at the same time, he saw the panther's gun training on him.

"FIRE!" Both tanks fired simultaneously, the panther's shell, being more high velocity, penetrated the hull of the Pershing, killing both the driver and bow gunner. The shrapnel also started a fire inside the tank. Leon was out the tank, trying to get the gunner out of the tank. He struggled and just as the loaders hatch popped open, the ammo cooked off. A stream of fire erupted from the commander's cupola and loaders cupola, killing both the gunner and loader. Leon was thrown from the tank by the force of the heat and he hit the ground.

The 90mm shell penetrated the upper hull of the panther, killing the gunner and loader instantly, while severely injuring the commander. The driver and bow gunner bailed out with minimal injuries. By the time Leon had come too, Hoshino was finishing up bandaging his arms and head. He felt a sudden sharp pain on the back of his head, most likely the fall had given him a concussion, he sat up to look in horror to see both the M26 and Panther burnt out. The Pershing was charred black, the Shield team logo was barely visible, and the "A" and "F" from the word "Waifu" were left on the burnt barrel.

"My…tank…. My friends….they're…" He began to tear up. Hoshino tried to comfort him, but it was no use.

"Come on, we have to keep moving." She said. Leon nodded, still crying. He got up and began to walk with her, towards Kuromorimine.

Shield 10/Anglerfish's position…

Mako woke up to find she wasn't in the Panzer IV's Drivers seat anymore. She was in the radio operators seat, she felt her head which was somehow bandaged up. The bleeding had stopped, and the tank was somehow moving. She looked over lazily to see that it was one of the JayPac boys in her seat. She was too weak to say something to him, so she looked out the window to see that there was a tank in front of them. A Sherman…Must be Saunders…. She thought. She leaned forward to see that it wasn't Saunders at all, It was one of JayPac's tanks. The Shield team logo and the flag on the rear gave it away. She could faintly hear Miho's voice giving commands to the driver.

"Get…out…." She said faintly. The boy looked over at her and realized she was awake. "Get…out…you're in my seat…" She looked annoyed that someone was in her seat. Her vision and hearing were fuzzy, but she could tell that the boy was trying to talk to her. She just nodded and continued to ride quietly. She almost fell asleep but was shaken awake by an impact and abrupt stop of the tank. It felt as if the tank was hit by a very large sell of some sorts, but as her senses were not at their fullest ability, she couldn't tell.

In the Jumbo, Jay looked back in horror as the Panzer was burning. Whatever hit the panzer was big enough to immobilize it. He saw Miho climb out while Caleb was helping Mako out of her seat.

"Halt here. Traverse 180 degrees." The turret turned all the way around facing the panzer. Caleb hoisted Mako onto the Sherman, and she slowly got into the bow gunner position. Miho was on the engine deck, kneeling next to Yukari, once more. "Alright here's the plan. Were gonna fire off 5 Willey Pete rounds to cover our dismount. Were also gonna Put Yukari in my seat, and then were gonna bee-line it to the school!" Jay said. "They don't cal this an assault tank for nothing!" Miho nodded, and the tank rolled down the street.

The ride was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was more like a brooding, some real stuff was about to go down, like silence. It gave everyone time to reflect on their past decisions. Jay began thinking of his family back home in the states. No doubt he would want to go back, but seeing as the school was going to move, most likely he was going to have to stay here in Japan, well on the carrier. He thought of his brothers, how they used to fight over the stupidest things. And how his mother would always be the one to break them up. He remembered his first Sensha-do battle, when he was just a driver.

Pascal was remembering about the time he and his brother argued about which tank was better, the King tiger and the IS-3, and how he would almost always win. "We will, but not this battle…" He pondered on what Kai meant by that. He said even being on the team would be enough to break him, but what if he survived? What if… I am going to survive this. He thought to himself. I will see my Nonna again.

Kuromorimine Hospital…

Kai was looking out the window, listening for the distinct booms of the tank cannons. He saw many smoke columns rise from different places near the school. He wondered if one of those columns was his brother's IS-3. He hoped not, but the cannon fire he heard was smaller than the 122mm.

"I know you're worried about him. But if he's anything like you, he is alright." Maho said, sternly.

"I hope you're right." He replied. "I'll never forgive him if he dies." The window the room had was facing the school. Hopefully that's where you're going Pascal. You need to reset this twisted game… He continued look out, as if he was searching for something.

Mike's position…

Mike was shooting at the Kuromorimine troops from the back of the T-34. A soldier gave him his rifle and he just started shooting.

"Panzerfäust!" Mike saw a Kuro soldier jump in front of the tank, while the barrel was traversed the opposite direction. He quickly aimed and fired at him, hitting the projectile itself. The projectile exploded, disintegrating the man who was holding it.

"Nice shot, Comrade!" The T-34's commander said. She was smiling at him for a moment before she went back to being serious and ordering the others around. Mike thought she was kind of attractive, and she was letting him ride her tank, so she was at least somewhat kind. Should I stay with them when this is all over? He thought. He began to think of his friends but was soon snapped out of it when a Panzerfaust rocket flew over their tank. He aimed at the person who fired it and shot him.

"Just a few more meters. We're nearly at the school!" The commander shouted. That's when an 88mm blew up an IS-2 that was in front of the T-34. "Cyka! Fire!" The T-34 traversed its gun towards the tank and fired. The shell bounced harmlessly off the front plate of the Tiger II. They saw the crew bail out of the tank, and started firing MG's toward them. They all missed and bounced against the tiger.

"Damn! The crew got away…" Mike said. He saw the tiger's number and knew it was the same tank that had knocked them out. At least…that's what he thought.

"Comrade, what is your name?" The commander asked.

"Name's Mike. And yours?"

"Sasha." She replied.

Shield 10's Position…

They were about 5 blocks away from the school and closing slowly. Miho and Jay were ready to move, as they were on the engine deck. Yukari was safely inside and barely still unconscious, but now way more protected.

"4 blocks!" Jay shouted. He counted down each block in his head. He predicted they would encounter heavy resistance within the next few blocks.

"Jay, I have an idea." Miho said. She told him the plan and he nodded.

"Change in plans. Miho and I are going to sneak into the tower and you will distract. We will keep heading this way once we get off. I leave the rest too you. Good luck and God speed." Jay said. The tank stopped, allowing Miho and Jay to get off and bee line down the street. The tank advanced with them and eventually passed them up. Right on que they came under heavy fire, and they countered accordingly. They fired off five smoke rounds, each in a different building.

"Come on Miho, this is our chance." Jay said. They darted down the next block and Jay, not paying attention, tripped over something and fell. "ow…" He groaned. He looked down to see he had tripped over a couple of dead Kuromorimine soldiers. Jay stood back up and was stopped by Miho.

"That school is going to be heavily guarded. Put this on." She said, handing him the dead person's jacket. She herself was wearing the dead girls jacket and Jay could hardly tell the difference. He raised his gun at her slightly. "Jay, come on now. You know it's me." She said, unamused. She didn't know that Jay thought otherwise.

"Right, now lead the way." Jay said. The two listened as the Sherman was still firing. They were still fighting and while they fought, Jay and Miho knew they still had a chance. They got to a position that was full of Kuro fighters who were firing on the Sherman. Miho motioned Jay to stop moving and she leaned against a window.

"BERG!" She shouted. Berg? What the hell does ice bergs have to do with this? Jay thought. The firing stopped momentarily.

"FLUSS!" The Kuromorimine fighters replied. She motioned Jay to get up and be ready to move. Jay was ready, Uzi at the ready.

"Put that gun away!" She whisper shouted. "It's Nishizumi of the 12th Panzer division!" She hit Jay, signaling him to say something.

"Uh…I'm Heinrich Wiremen of the 5th Wehrmacht division!" Jay said. He hated lying, but if it meant to save his life, he would do it. The two moved to the area where they needed to go.

"What're you doing here?! This place is lost!" Miho said to the fighters.

"Yeah, Pravda is almost here. JayPac as well! Run if you want to live to see tomorrow!" Jay exclaimed. Both of them played the part well, and they convinced the others to abandon their positions. Jay saw some of Kuromorimine's defenders climbing onto the Sherman. Jay jumped on a nearby MG42 mount and opened fire. They fell off the tank, dead and dying.

"Jay let's go!" She shouted. The Sherman was traversing towards them and Jay knew what they were going to do. He scrambled up the stairs with Miho Just as the tank fired. Jay threw off the jacket he was wearing as did Miho. The two of them made it to the top and crawled out onto the spire.

"This is it Miho. Finish it." Jay said. Miho nodded and pulled out a cloth. The cloth unfurled was both JayPac and Ooarai's flags. She tied them both onto the flag post, and Jay fired wildly into the air with his Uzi.

In the Sherman, Pascal was getting ready to fire on the incoming forces. He looked in the direction of the incoming Pravda forces. And saw the Kuro students retreating. Then he saw the flags. Both Ooarai and JayPac's school flags hanging down from the spire. That's when an official ran in front of both tank blowing her whistle.

"CEASE ALL COMBAT! OOARAI AND JAYPAC HAVE CAPTURED KUROMORIMINE! CEASE ALL COMBAT!" She said. It was almost unbelievable.

"We…we made it?" Courtney asked.

"YEAHH! WE WONN! WE MADE IT!" Pascal shouted. He grabbed the radio and switched it to the JayPac Medivac frequency. "The Match is over requesting Immediate Medivac!"

"Roger we are already airborne. ETA 3 minutes. Came the reply. He turned to Yukari who he saw was smiling faintly, her eyes were barely open.

"We did it. It's over." Pascal said. The rest of the boys were outside of the tank and firing the roof mounted .50 cal in celebration.

Miho was sitting outside on the ground, Jay was sitting next to her. He was staring at the sky just listening to the celebrating forces of the allies. We won…we actually did it. Peterson…no, everyone who died…we did it. This one's for you… Jay said internally.

"Congratulations. You two won. We head that your school has a few Medivac Helicopters on the way. Well they're here." Said the judge. Miho and Jay looked at each other. Slowly both Jay and Miho got up and headed to the sound of the helicopters. They saw one takeoff, and saw the other one, a Blackhawk helicopter, carrying the rest of the survivors.

"Jay! We did it. The fighting is over…" Pascal said as Jay climbed into the helicopter.

"Yeah…it's over…" Jay said. The helicopter lifted off, and Miho watched as the Pravda tankers below. Celebrated amongst the dead bodies that littered the street. The helicopter circled the school, and Miho was flooded with past memories. Memories with her family to being a Kuromorimine tanker. Then the cross was blown up and the helicopter flew away. Miho started crying, but not silently. She was letting it out, all her bottled up emotions just erupted out of her. Jay hugged her, and she just cried onto him. Jay was crying as well; his emotions were just a bottled up as hers.

Results

Ooarai/JayPac: 14 units lost

Kuromorimine: 15 units lost

Allies: Pravda: 4 units lost

Mainland Japan, 3 days later…

Jay was nervous. He was riding in a Taxi with Miho to a hospital where apparently her mother was staying in. The school carriers weren't leaving for another couple days and Miho and the rest of the people who survived were all on the carrier. They had flown in by helicopter at night, so it was very uneventful when they arrived back home.

"Jay, you're scared. I can tell." Miho said. "She won't be able to do anything to you. She is literally stuck to her bed." She said.

"Yeah, but from what I've read up about her and what you told me, she has a look that can literally kill me." Jay said, his voice shaking a little. "I should also mention that Leon and Hoshino are ok. Leon is recovering from a sniper shot to the leg." Jay said. He was glad to have everyone in a hospital where they could recover.

They arrived at the hospital and were taken up to the room. Miho motioned him to stay out the room until she said so. Jay took a seat outside the room and waited. He waited, he never felt this stressed at the hospital before. Well, not true. The most stressed he was, was when they were waiting for Yukari's report from the doctors. Luckily, they got her there just in time. She had lost a lot of blood, but they had enough to keep her and Mako alive.

"They'll both make a full recovery, Ms. Reizei in about three months and Ms. Akiyama in about 5 to 6 months." The doctor had said. Even after remembering this he sighed a huge breath of relief.

"Jay." Miho had called. Jay got up and walked into the room. "This is him." She said.

"Hi, Mrs. Nishizumi, I am Miho's friend, Jay. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Jay said. She just stared at him, with murder in her eyes.

"Well, we should be off. Wouldn't want to be in your presence any longer." Miho said, with an almost angry tone. She pulled Jay out of there and they headed out the hospital and back to the ship.

"Terminal 5 cancer, huh?" Miho just nodded. "I'm sorry to hear…"

"Don't be. If you knew how she treated me, you wouldn't be."

"But she's your mother. Don't you fell some sort of sadness?" Jay asked.

"A little, but that's in the past. What matters is what lies ahead." Miho said.

"I guess…" Jay replied. They two rode in silence after that. They headed back to the ship and visited they friends in the Hospital aboard the Gerald R. Ford.

Theses matched changed the Sport of sensha-do forever, After the end of the 74th National tournament, the world saw the Koushiki was true way of Sensha-do. And it would soon take the world by storm….
