A/N's: Welcome back! We are back with another installment of 'It bounced off!' From where we left off, it seems that the girls at Gloriana are into the WoT scene. With some recent WoT gameplay in my mind, let's see what kind of bizarre situations the girls can find themselves in. You better load that APCR and aim at the back of that E-100 because it's going to bounce off!
Chapter 5: The ruins of Kharkhov
*WoT loading screen music*
"Alright! We ready to go?" Yukari asked excitedly. Hana and Mako nodded their heads as they watch the loading bar finish its last bits before finally showing the starting circles.
"What map are we on by the way?" Mako asked prompting an immediate response.
"You weren't looking at the loading screen?"
"I was Alt tabbed out."
"Kharkhov."
Mako looked at destroyed buildings, burning tanks, and falling ash that could be mistaken for snow.
"This place looks scary." Hana said while looking around as the timer counted down.
"It's scary alright but if we play our cards right, we should be able to win this."
*LETS GO*
As the tanks were unleashed from their virtual cages, the girls quickly convened together and studied the movement of their teammates.
"Hm…seems like half the team is going towards the circle in the east." Yukari analyzed. "The other half seems to going down the second ring."
"What's our plan?"
Yukari thought for a moment before looking at the northern part of the map. "We'll go through the old village. This may be risky, but we're fast enough that the enemy won't expect an attack, we need to shoot and scoot, my Panzer IV Ausf.D will lead." Soon the trio began making their way to the old city section which gave a wider space with old run down houses, making it easy to gain some ground. Mako's M8A1 and Hana's Panzer III followed Yukari closely, mirroring her movements with precision.
Mako looked at her mini-map, "Center is getting pushed hard."
"I see it, we're almost there." The three tanks moved out of the embankment and took cover behind an apartment building. "My sixth sense should go off if someone spots us, so far we're good." Yukari said before moving from behind the building. After taking a sharp turn they were confronted with the enemy flag.
"Look, there's the artillery." Hana observed as she spotted the two SPG's taking cover behind some rubble. "I got this." She moved her Panzer III into range and began firing and began knocking the HP points off one of the SPG's. The Wespe fired a shot point blank and the shell flew over Hana's tank and landed just behind her, she fired a final shot into the M37 before moving her crosshair over the Wespe. The Wespe with only 40 hit points left tried to hide behind the wreck of the destroyed vehicle but to no avail as Hana bared down upon him before coming hull to hull with her tank before a HE shell ripped into the open back compartment.
"Wow Isuzu-dono, nice work." Yukari was impressed as she watched the whole thing unfold while sitting in the enemy cap circle, suddenly a ping came from her speakers. She looked to see a message that asked her to pay attention to sector F4.
"The enemy is heading this way." Mako exclaimed before moving her tank into a more defensive position.
"Where's our team?" Hana asked.
"What's ever left is bogged down in the square, they won't make it in time." Mako responded after looking at the large green blob on her map.
"We have to hope for a base capture, everyone take defensive positions!" Yukari ordered as she moved her tank behind one of the destroyed SPG's. Through her periscope she could see as the enemy team began to appear out of the air as they entered her view range. "2 Matty's, a Lee, AMX 40, and a Chi-ha."
"How did they manage to defeat our end?" Mako questioned. Yukari from behind her screen shrugged her shoulders.
"Let's take out the Matilda's first, they don't seem to have much health left."
"Roger!"
As the first Matilda turned the corner, its track was shot out by a shot from Mako's M8 before she slipped back behind cover as she received return fire. As the second Matilda emerged from behind the first it took a shot and manage to strike Hana's turret.
"It jammed the turret!" She cried.
Yukari frantically asked, "Do you have a repair kit?"
"No."
"Um…um…stay there, it's should repair itself."
Just as she said this the 1st Matilda was mobile and moving again and took formation next to the 2nd Matilda.
"Uh guys, they're getting closer." Mako said as she popped from the building and took another shot, destroying the Lee. "Got one."
"Nice, that's one down but there's still more. Hana is your turret back up again?"
"It's up!"
"Good, return fire!"
From her position, Yukari fired a 75mm shell into the front of the 1st Matilda and brought to near death which was finished off by a shot from Hana.
"That's another one down!"
The AMX 40 and the Chi-ha disappeared out of sight. "Where did the other two go?" Hana asked.
"I don't know but let's get this guy." Yukari said as the 2nd Matilda entered her sights. "Take this." She fired and she watched as the round splashed off the front. "THE HELL?" She shouted at the sight of no damage. She looked at her shell count. "Oh hell."
"What is it?" Mako asked.
"I seemed to have forgot to load up on AP shells, I sorta invested a lot on HE for some reason." Yukari heard Mako curse from under her breath over the headset. "I'M SORRY!" She cried.
"Its fine, you got us this far, we're about to cap." Mako referenced to the counter that read *89 out of 100*
"Whew…That's a relief." Yukari began to move her tank out of cover and showed a part of her side armor.
"STAY IN COVER!" Mako screamed over the mic.
"WHAT!" Yukari gushed as an AP round hit her tank. She looked at the capture counter drop dramatically. "I'M SORRY!" She cried again. Mako sighed as she finished off the last Matilda and looked at Yukari's tank whose gun was pointed downwards as if it were sad.
"Hey guys, I think we won." Hana said breaking the moment.
Yukari though sniffles said, "Wha…wha?"
"Our teammates are here and there is no one left on the enemy team." Soon they were back in the garage and were facing the posting battle results.
"I would've gotten an invader medal if it weren't for my stupidity!" Yukari whined. Hana giggled and Mako sighed some more. "And all this XP and credits, I don't even deserve these."
"So can I use some of that?" Mako said sarcastically. Yukari continued to belly-ache before coming to terms and looking at her garage.
"I'm calling it for today."
"Yeah same here, Grandma is going to rip my face off if I stay on any longer."
"Okay, thank you for the platoon Yukari-san."
"Good day guys." Yukari said before logging off. She got up from her knees and stretched before sitting back down. Soon her mother began to call and she got and closed her laptop before opening her door and running downstairs.
Meanwhile on the Kuromorimine School Ship
"KOMMANDANT BEHIND YOU!"
"Calm down Erika, that KV-1S has the accuracy of Maginot even on a good day."
"DAMN IT! I JUST FIXED THAT TRACK, THIS MAYBE A GAME BUT IT'S STILL HEAVY!"
A/N's: Well that was invigorating, my matches usually never end up like that, I'd be usually the burning wreck in the middle of the map. IRGUDUNDTONKS. Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed that and I apologize for the grammar and any technical errors that appear but if you want please leave a Review and critique because hey, it's always appreciated!
