Nonna: That report you wanted Katyusha is here.
Katyusha: Give it here! She grabs the folder from Nonna and skims through it and raises an eyebrow
Katyusha: Saunders lost? I didn't know they could lose to a bunch of boys haha!
Nonna: That's the problem Saunders lost to a bunch of boys I call cheats.
Katyusha: Well this is interesting very interesting, boys in a sensha-do is one thing but winning against a skilled school is funny to see it's like an ant taking down a human!
Nonna: I think we shouldn't doubt the American boys so easily. Nonna sighs and she walks out
Katyusha thinks to herself "How could Saunders lose so quickly? It must be luck well what school will they face now if luck is on their side then it will be a problem for us to win this year's tournament.
(Kuromorimine Girls' Academy)
Erika: Huh it seems Saunders has lost against those boys
Maho: Those fools? Hehe, It seems we have a challenger.
Erika: Yup it really makes me feel like we have a challenge this year
Maho: If they are pushovers then it'll just sicken me...
Erika: Kuromorimine will show them!
Maho Bites her nail boys in this sport is unheard of anyhow if they can beat saunders then they must be a challenge.
(Oarai Girls' Academy)
Miho: It's amazing how the boys won against Saunders!
Yukari: The Boys were using American tanks I haven't seen an M18 GMC used in battle before it's so cool that the boys use it!
Miho: Yeah they use tanks Saunders or anybody haven't seen!
Yukari: They were also using the Sherman Assult tank or Jumbo!
Miho: We may have a challenge this year haha!
Miho and Yukari talk about tanks and the ones the boys used
(United States National Sensha-do Academy Outpost)
Oscar cleans the barrel of his E8 Sherman, Eddie and Frank are repairing the turret ring and Logan is unloading the ammo racks with Charlie helping Logan
Oscar: That battle it was terrific to be in I love sensha-do. He turns his head to Logan grabbing a 76mm shell from Logan and placing it in a crate
Logan: I think we got all of them.
Charlie: Oh thank god! My arms are hurting how do you load these shells?
Logan: It's lightweight to me.
Frank: It is done I think?
Eddie: Yeah we got the turret ring done!
Oscar: Check it tomorrow we all need a rest it's only been a week...
Eddie: And we haven't got another school to fight yet!
Frank: I think all the other schools are duking it out, man.
Logan, Frank, Eddie, and Charlie leave and Oscar is alone with the E8
Oscar: This may be weird talking to a tank but keep us kicking okay Easy 8? He pats the side of the tank and sighs walking out of the garage and flicking off the light
Oscar walks in the setting sun and spots a Girl sitting on a bench she is wearing a Saunders Uniform...Wait he thinks this is Kay... that Saunders commander.
Kay: Hey! Oscar!
Oscar: Hey...
She jumps up and hugs him Oscar can feel the air in his body getting sucked away
Oscar: Okay chill out you're killing me...
Kay: Kay let's go I'm super sorry Oscar! it's just your very cool winning your first sensha-do match
Oscar: Thanks Kay you're very friendly even to your opponents.
Kay: I say that sensha-do is just a sport so no hard feeling anywhere! Oh yeah, I have a party planned in a bit you would like to come right?!
Oscar: Is that why you are here at the USSA Outpost?
Kay: Maayyybe~
Oscar: Sure I'll go to this party I'm free for this whole week just training
Kay: I'll give you my number so we can be connected!
Oscar: I-I uhh... sure show it.
Kay: What? embarrassed that a girl is giving her number to you? She moves close to him and her chest area bounces.
Oscar: Yeah a little. He looks away
Kay: It's just for the party so chill out! She hits his shoulder laughing as she gives him her number and walks to a jeep driving away
Oscar sighs and looks at the number Kay gave him
Oscar: Why am I feeling this way? Disappointment or what? Man, this is weird... He walks to the dorm rooms and enters his room
(The next morning)
Oscar gets up and washes his face brushing his teeth like any other day but this time a text rings from his phone Kay has been texting him non-stop this morning
Kay: "Oscar respond!"
Oscar: "What?"
Kay: "So the party is planned for 1:00 PM"
Oscar: "Ok"
Kay: "So there will be lots of food so bring your friends!"
Oscar: "My Friend Logan likes to try the food so he'll come you can count on it."
Kay: "He won't be disappointed!"
(A Drink With A tank nerd)
Eddie walks into the city he thinks about how Japan is so cool like he has been here before but hasn't a feeling of deja vu. He buys a drink that looks good to him
Eddie: I would read this label but I can't read Japanese for shit.
Yukari: That says Coconut juice!
Eddie: Thanks.
As he looks at her they both stare at each other and look that their uniforms.
Yukari: You're from that boys' team!
Eddie: You're from that school that won the last tournament!
Yukari: You must be that Driver for the M4A3E8!
Eddie: I just call it an Easy 8 or E8.
Yukari: But that is very disrespectful to the tank!
Eddie: it's a tank it doesn't have feelings...
Yukari: It does! All tanks have feelings!
Eddie: You have a screw lose Lady?
Yukari: Hmph! She turns away
Eddie: Say uhh I'll buy you a drink and let's stop this small fight
Yukari: Admit it!
Eddie: Admit what?
Yukari: TANKS HAVE FEELINGS!
Eddie: Ow! Don't yell that loud.
Yukari: Until you do I'll keep yelling!
Yukari follows Eddie around and keeps yelling at him to admit that tanks have feelings and this goes on for a bit
Yukari: TANKS HAV- *Cough* *Cough* She coughs because of her dry throat
Eddie: You need a drink there are vending machines everywhere so I'll get you one.
Yukari nods a bit embarrassed
Eddie finds a vending machine and lets her pick out the drink Yukari opens the can and gulps it down
Yukari: Thank you Ed!
Eddie: Ed? Oh hell no, call me Eddie no one uses Ed with me.
Yukari: That is how the tank feels Eddie! You are just using the shortcut, a nickname!
Eddie: You're still on the "tanks have feelings?"
Yukari: YES!
Eddie: Fine tanks have feelings.
Yukari: YAY!
Eddie: You nag anybody that disagrees with you?
Yukari: No but if it's with tanks then YES!
Eddie: Say what is your role in a tank uhh... what was your name?
Yukari: My role is Driver and my name is Yukari don't wear out my name!
Eddie: Hehe you are funny Yukari.
Yukari: You think so?
Eddie: Yup well I'll see you when our schools clash.
As he waves goodbye she waves goodbye also and smiles
Yukari: Woah... A compliment from a boy. This is an Achievement!
