Hey everyone! Sorry for not pushing out more chapters but I've been busy over the spring break and with preparations for the final exams. I'm for now going to be sticking with short chapters to try and push out more chapters. Big thanks for SchneeKing for giving me operational data for the Panther and how it fared against other tanks. And for correcting my butchering of the German language. Any help, support, corrections, and criticism is well appreciated. thanks for all your support.

P.S.-I know the German is probably horrid in this Chapter and I'm having it corrected but I felt I should give you something for know, so corrections hopefully coming soon.


Oarai Girls High School Ship, Tankery sheds, June 23rd 2022, 15 minutes later

Back at sheds the rest of Oarai Sensha-dō team was gathered by the shed doors waiting for the rest of the team to come. "Wonder what's taking them so long," said the President Anzu while chewing some dried sweet potatoes. "That freak lightning storm and all that rain probably ended up making them get bogged down in the mud. Also the always reliable Tiger P probably broke down again," said Mako in a monotone voice. "Don't worry I'm sure they're fine and will be here any minute," said Hana. "Anyway we need to figure out how to get more panzer's. With our victory at nationals we probably will get a lot applications for students looking to join up and we sure don't have the tanks for that, " said Momo. "Are their any more hidden tanks left on the ship?," asked Saori. "I don't think so if not we would have found them by now," replied Yuzu.

Their conversation was then halted as the sound of large engines could be heard coming closer and closer. Then the late platoon finally turned the corner into the compound. With the Tiger P leading, then the Char following close behind, and finally the Chi-Nu bring up the rear. Then to their surprise another muzzle break of a tank's cannon poked around the corner followed quickly by the Panther that it was attached to.

"Oh my God!. It's a Panther Ausf. G, with the KwK 75mm main gun!," screamed a blastic Yukari. "Is it any good?," asked a skeptical Anzu. "Definitely! It has a good engine, a great gun, and fantastic sloped armor. It's even considered one of the best all around tanks of World War Two!," said Yukari as she was growing more active as the Panther came closer and closer to their group. "Panzer Halt," said Miho in a calming voice. At this Yukari blushed and then seemed to come off her panzer high just the Panther pulled up in front of the group and shut of its engine. The entire group was in awe of this new tank that seemed to appear from out of nowhere. "Well this is a good start for our new tank roster! Now we just-," Momo was then interrupted as all the hatches on the tank popped open and her crew exited their tank.

The first thing the girls noticed about this tank crew was that they were all men in their early to late twenties. They then noticed the crewman were visibly armed with various submachine guns, pistols, and rifles. They then noticed the men were wearing World War Two period panzerkorps uniforms. "Gutentag, we looking for the commanding officer of this base," sad the man holding an STG-44 who appeared to be the tank's commander. At this everyone looked towards Miho, followed by the tank's commander with an raised eyebrow. "Who-who are you?!," asked a started Miho. "Oh where are my manner's I am Feldwebel Herman Whitman. The man to my left is Gefreiter Lothar Eckhart. The man on the far left is Obergefreiter Adi Stoss. The man my to right is Schutze Kurt Poske, and also to my right is Obergefreiter Theo Hossbach," said Herman as every man did a shallow bow at their introduction. "We are members of the fourth Panzer division third battalion seconded platoon of the Wehrmacht. We were wondering where in the Japanese empire we are currently located and whether or not you girls are members of the Japanese Imperial Army," asked a slightly curious Herman. "Imperial army?! Japanese EMPIRE?!" said a startled Miho "Ja, Fräulein. After all your driving tanks. Though I didn't think the Japanese situation in the Pacific was bad enough to draft schoolgirls to drive tanks," said Herman. "What are you talking about! The Japanese Empire and Imperial Army was disbanded after World War two ended in nineteen forty five!," shouted a distraught Momo. "That's impossible the year is nineteen forty four...Isn't it?!," said a now visible shanken Herman. "Nineteen fortyfour? It's the year two thousand and twenty two," said a cool Hana stepping up to support the still floundering Miho. "What are you guys some type of Cosplayers…" said Saori as she noticed the look of shock and horror on Herman's face as he seemed to struggle to stay on his feet.

"Was ist falsch Herman?, asked the man named Adi said on his far Left. "Sie sagen, das Jahr ist zweitausend und zweiundzwanzig, und dass Japan den Krieg verloren!," said Herman to his men. "Was zum Teufel!" "Das ist nicht möglich!" "Herrgot im Himmel!" "Dies wird immer besser und besser!" was the shouted response from the rest of the Panthers crew. "You guys are real German Soldiers from World War Two aren't you?," asked Yukari in a low voice. "Jawohl Fräulein. We were stationed outside Warsaw when we were attacked by Red Army tanks only to be struck by lightning during the battle. Our tank being hit by that bolt of lightning appears to have sent us into the future to this present date in...where exactly are we again?," asked a deflated Herman. "Sie sagten uns nie, wo wir sind," said Lothar. "By the way how come you can speak Japanese while your comrades can only speak German?," asked Mako in her monotone voice. "Ah right, well when I touched the girl over there," indicating Sodoko," then suddenly I could understand her and vice versa. In fact can I borrow you for a second," he said as he grabbed Saori, who had been edging closer and closer to the panzer crew to get a better look at them. And proceeded to slap her hand against every man in the panthers crew. "Oww. The hell was that for Herman…" tapered off Kurt as he realized the looks of understanding on the girls faces. "You weren't kidding." said an amazed Anzu. "Sorry about using you for a sample," Herman apologized to a now visible redder Saori. "As for the language changes I have no idea how that happens. Maybe an effect of time travel?," said Herman thinking out loud. "Ja, Probably. Fu-Fubar me if I know how though," said a stressed Lothar as he tried to comprehend what was staring him in the face. "By the way me and crew would like to apologize for,ah- shooting at you girls earlier," said Herman as he quickly bowed to the group of girls that had lead them there as they stood off to the side watching in frightened silence. "Wait, you shot at them!," screamed a very pissed Momo. "Sorry about that. I being the one who fired, but remember we thought we were still at the eastern front and their it's killed or be killed," said Theo bowing again to Sodoko the girl he fired at. At this the crew looked at him in stunned silence. First time travel and now Theo talking to a group women; something must definitely be wrong with the universe's balance.

"Anyway can we please continue this conversation in your sheds since the last thing we need is more attention to the fact that a group of time traveling Wehrmacht Panzer Men has arrived in the modern era." At this everyone noded and began to move the remaining Panzers and enter the sheds to figure out what to do with their time traveling guests.
