Hey Guys! It's SKORPIONMKXWARRIOR! I have chapter five at the ready AND I will introduce a BRAND-NEW character. And to add to this Orbit finished his tier jump and is now an ISU-152, What can possibly go wrong? Once again, thanks to smol mochi and ustanklover456. I also would like to thank those who dropped a review, it helps me, regardless whether or not it's good or bad. Sorry if this intro was kinda short, it felt short when I wrote it. I didn't have much to say…
AS ALWAYS! See you on the battlefield….
Chapter 5
"Ugh, what happened?" asked Steffi to herself. "Where are the others? They said they'll be here. And, most of all where's my brother?" She decided to remain motionless, the surrounding silence around her almost terrifying, well for anyone outside of Sturm Krieg. Even though Steffi wasn't an actual "member" of Sturm Krieg, her brother is the leader of what could be the strongest clan out there. This silence continued, almost driving Steffi to lose her shit and start screaming for help. Then, she started to hear a little sput sput sput. She then knew someone was coming. No one she knew, but someone nonetheless. She focused on the engine sound. It grew louder and louder until a little Marder II appeared in front of her.
"Are you alright? I know the people here didn't treat you well. If you want me to, I can untie you. Do you want me to?" said the little Marder. "Oh, my name is Simply by the way.
"Um, hi Simply. And, yeah, can you please tie me out?" she replied kindly, hoping her act would work out. She remained silent as the little TD silently agreed and unbound her. She then raced beside him and aimed her 75mm at his "head" and loaded HE.
"Stay still. And I won't hurt you. Make a move and nutin will happen. Ok?" she commanded.
"I wouldn't hurt you! And besides, even if I make a move you can't shoot, yet alone kill me," Simply replied. He then started forward surprising Steffi. He then turned around and gleefully stared her down. They were just in this staring contest for what felt like minutes when they suddenly heard a voice booming in the distance that Steffi found all too familiar.
Back at Home Base…
It was a light of a new day. Orbit finished his tier jump during his slumber and was now ready to regroup with the others. Unlike Lazer, he didn't have the kickback side effects of a tier jump. He would just wake up and feel like a he did the previous day, albeit a little refreshed from a good 8+ hours of sleep (Kinda needed for a tier jump). He just stayed static for a little while he started up his engine and warmed it up. As this was happening, he just adjusted his "little" BL-10 152mm Cannon and decided to think about how they met Eldrin and Jacob.
It was when Jeff and Rob were still only at tier 4, almost at five. The little A-20 and T-28 were just cruising around the backroads of Castilla when they saw a Churchill that was getting picked on by three tier five mediums. Since he was a slow tank, they ran circles around him yelling taunts and shooting him where it wouldn't pen. They had no idea they were being watched. Jeff saw that the group bullying the poor, still timid churchill consisted of an M4 Sherman, a Chi-Nu, and a T-34. Jeff decided to stop them, and soon. He sped towards them and shot each of them with a burst from his 37mm autocannon. He ran circles around them and ran away, a smirk in his thoughts. Before the bullies could turn their attention elsewhere, they were attacked by Rob. He also ran off, impressed with his work. They ran for so long then circled back. As they ran they saw a Pz IV has joined the folly. Pushing the churchill away the bullies, whilst shooting back at them with the churchill's help. The Pz IV managed to track the M4 Sherman as he got the churchill behind cover. The churchill continued running away while the Pz IV headed back to deal with the bullies. He came back in time to see a tier 4 medium and light tank come screaming onto the scene. HE saw an A-20 track the Chi-Nu as he drove past him. He then rammed the T-34 tracking him in turn and started limping away, gaining the attention of the Pz IV while he was at it. The T-28 then started to push the light away from the scene while the mediums were busy screaming about their tracks coming off. The Pz IV called out to them and gestured with his gun to join him.
"You guys are good fighters. Thanks for helping my friend, Jacob, while I was away. I didn't respond to his cries for help soon enough. Those three bully him way too much. Anyways, you two have balls, I'll say that much. You can hang with us and help us create a clan. You guys up for that? Oh, where are my manners? I'm Eldrin." he said. It was almost too much to take in so soon. Rob then nodded.
"No problem, Eldrin. We can't stand people like that. Even if we're at a disadvantage, we couldn't just walk away. And, as far as helping you guys out goes, yeh we're in. Right, Jeff?" he answered.
"Hell yeah!" piped the little A-20. As time passed, Jeff and Rob eventually tier jumped. Surprisingly enough, Jeff was able to hide his side effects from the others JUST that once. He made a mental note to stay away from the others next time. Rob then remembered that was why Eldrin and Jacob never knew that was what happened to Jeff. He was always a sneaky bugger when he had something to hide. Another few months went by. After this, they finally had enough to fund the basic for a clan: small base, extra fuel reserves, ammo storage, all in the cheapest packages possible. When they decided on a leader, Rob voted Eldrin while the other three voted on Rob, surprising him. He led the clan from there. He then woke up from his daydream and decided to inspect his new BL-10.
"Now THIS is what I call badass!" he thought to himself, finishing his trip down memory lane. He did it a second time but forgot to keep it in his head and ended up thinking out loud. He didn't even notice it. When he felt ready to move out he opened his garage and gave his engine a final rev before leaving at a brisk 35 km/h pace. He kept this trend going until he got within a few hundred meters of the compound he and his friends swept through the previous day. And even though his view range wasn't the greatest, he was able to easily pick out the out of place smoke plumes above the compound. He got a little closer, 150m to be exact, and scouted things out.
From his vantage point, he was able to spot the guys of Sturm Krieg bound in the center of the base while the girls were cowering nearby. They were trying to wake the guys up, still incapacitated from the previous day. Orbit then spotted Alex roll next to them and aim his gun at Lazer. He fired a shot surprising everyone around him and narrowly ricked, aka ricocheted, the shot off Lazer's turret cheek. He then decided to leave them alone seeing the pain was enough to rouse Lazer awake and the boom off the shot scaring some and awakening the rest of Sturm Krieg. He then cackled his head off as he and his body guards rolled off.
Orbit started to rev up his engine again when he looked up and saw a Chi-Nu and a Marder staring at each other. He would've thought they were both part of Alex's gang if it weren't for a little emblem his noticed on the Chi-Nu's turret. After a second of thought, he then realized who it was and rushed forward at top speed. When he was within earshot of the two tanks he bellowed at the top of his lungs, "GET AWAY FROM HER!" The two tanks then stopped staring at each other. The Chi-Nu recognised the voice then turned her turret around.
"BROTHER! YOU'RE HERE! YOU'RE F-" screamed Steffi as she caught up to Robert, blindly running in his direction with relief. It wasn't until she took a second look at him that she realized he wasn't a KV-2 anymore. "You're a... a…. a-" she tried to finish.
"An ISU-152?" said Rob. Seeing if his answer was the one one Steffi was trying to find.
"Yeah. You're a ISU-152. When did you tier jump? Why are you here? Where's everyone one else? Can I finally join Sturm Krieg now?!" confirmed Steffi and she didn't even hesitate to start baraging Orbit with questions.
"An old 'friend' of mine kidnapped them. Steffi, the only reason I wasn't here was because I went back to home base to tier jump. And, thanks to what the fuck is happening right now, I will let you into Sturm Krieg under honorary terms, after this, however, you can consider yourself a member. Before we go, you do know, I wouldn't allow this otherwise?" he answered.
"Yes, I know. I won't fail you. I'll show you what I could do. Now are we gonna fight or what?!" she answered in turn. It was then Simply decided to interrupt the siblings' reunion.
"Um, can I help?" he asked timidly. Orbit then noticed the little Marder that was looking at them. He checked the little tank out and then a plan popped into his head.
"Yes, you can help us. On one condition. You have to act as bait. Now I will ask you a question. Are you willing to help us?" he returned.
"I will!" piped the cheeky little Marder.
"Well Steffi, let's do this!" said Orbit.
TAKING BACK STURM KRIEG…
Simply rolled back into center base with Steffi in tow. The ropes from earlier cunningly arranged to make it appear as if she was still bound. They got to the center of the town and they saw Lazer being comforted by the the others as he grimaced in pain from the shell Alex ricked off the side of his turret. He then looked up and his expression changed as soon as he recognized who the Chi-Nu was.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE STEFFI!" he yelled, more surprise in his voice than anything else.
Steffi just stared at Lazer for a second before depressing her barrel as far down as she could in an act, unbeknownst to the others. A nearby guard noticed this then rolled over. It was an M4 Sherman using the 105mm howitzer. He looked at the strange medium tank before ramming the Marder escorting her back. He started berating Simply until he heard a feminine voice. The voice just simply said, "Surprise Mutha Focker." He turned his turret around until he could just barely make out the silhouette of a familiar Chi-Nu.
The M4 just barely enough time to think to himself, "Well shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" before Steffi ammo racked him from point blank, execution style. This alerted everyone in the base. She turned her turret around to face the imminent threat as Simply rolled up and started untying the others. The tank battle started. Steffi then started engaging tank after tank. She then noticed a T21 rushing towards her. She wouldn't have enough time to traverse her turret to shoot him. She just closed her optics and prepared herself for a hit when BOOOOOM. She opened her optics to find the T21 dead in its tracks. She was about to turn around to see who it was when she heard over the radio an ever-reassuring voice.
"Don't worry Steffi. I got your six. Just give me time to reload. NOW HURRY UP AND SHOOT THE BASTARDS!" yelled Orbit a few seconds after wiping the little T21 into oblivion. He then angled his tank a little to protect himself while Steffi took shots at choice targets sneaking up alongside them while more and more members of Sturm Krieg got into the fight one by one and shooting them from point blank ammo racking them all execution style over and over again. She then turned around and went behind the others in Strum Krieg with Simply and the two simply sniped from behind the others. Even before this Steffi "racked" up an impressive 6 kills. And her count only grew as they engaged more opponents.
Orbit was back into his usual tactics with Lazer darting here and there taking few shots while giving out even more of a punch. While he did this Orbit would annihilate anyone who tried to fight killing everyone opponent they had with a single shot. This continued until he missed a VK 30.01H who happened to be lucky enough to notice Orbit aiming at him and suddenly hitting it into reverse right as Orbit took his shot and this made him miss. He didn't get away with it though. Right as he thought he was in the clear a 75mm shot hit his turret cupola blindly him and this was followed by another 75mm more potent than before, penetrating his turret ring and crippled him. A final 85mm shell took him out of his misery. Simply, Steffi, and Lazer triple teamed the VK and killed him with a team effort. Jacob, Eldrin, Andrew and Aiden were doing their usual battle tactic of Aiden moving to the front to actively scout the enemy and also pump a couple shots into the enemy tanks. This was followed up with the three heavies behind him plowing through the area Aiden would've just finished doing his drive by through and clean up anyone remaining. They were eventually joined by Malik as he diverted from the girls who were doing their own fair share of sniping, brawling, and drive bys. Sturm Krieg was doing all of this on a wide front to just roll over their opposition. They were all succeeding with their advance until they hit the center of the map. From here, they made a line and acted as a firing squad to any tanks that were unlucky enough not to take cover in Alex's improvised base. They just waited and reloaded the guns and prepared to advance when Rob gave a surprising order.
"Hold here. Do not advance," he said over the intercom.
"What do you mean 'Hold here'!?" rudely answered Lazer not understanding why until he remembered what Orbit was. "Nevermind, Sir. Give em hell!" he corrected himself. The others were just as confused until Lazer said that. As soon as he corrected himself they realized what Lazer did and just waited. A few seconds passed and then- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Orbit fired a HE round into the improvised base and it fell with ease. He then gave the others brand new orders.
"FIRE AT WILL!" he yelled at loud this time. Not caring if anyone besides his own troops heard. Hearing this, the members of Sturm Krieg just shot any stragglers that were trying to escape. They were all wiped out in seconds. Rob then snuck away to take an overwatch position just in case something went wrong. The others moved to the center of the map and were about to celebrate when they heard a shot. This was followed by Steffi yelping in pain. They all turned around to find that Alex was the one to track Steffi. He then aimed his gun higher, at her turret. He then just smiled.
"Did you guys really think that you could defeat ME!" he just exclaimed. Lazer tried to silently move closer. Alex noticed this and shot him in the tracks in turn. He then grimaced in pain and simply started aiming at Alex's turret. He just warned Lazer, "Don't come any closer or else. I'll execute her just like she did my soldiers. Now divert your guns away from me or I shoot!"
The others diverted their guns to keep Steffi safe, but they still had their optics trained on him. He started to track all of the members of Sturm Krieg one at a time. He thought he had everyone until he realized a KV-2 was missing.
"OK ROBERT! SHOW YOURSELF OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR SISTER! THE CHOICE IS-" he tried to finish his threat but a certain 152mm gun touched the side of his turret. He traversed his optics a little to see an ISU staring him down, a twisted grin on its face. It took Alex a second to realize who the ISU was and he started backing off. The ISU just stared. Alex then burst into a dead sprint in the others direction. He was almost out when he was tracked, stopping him in his tracks. He traversed his turret to find the ISU stalking closer to him. When he was 100m away he started to fire his 75mm autoloader. This was of no avail. The rounds harmlessly ricocheted off his armour. Orbit let Alex empty a magazine into his tank before asking him something.
"Do you seriously call those shots? I'll show you what a shot is," he said. He followed this up by firing an HE shell into Alex's engine deck. It destroyed the engine as well as set Alex on fire. He just sat there motionless, screaming as loud as he can. After he screamed for a few seconds the fire reached his ammo rack and detonated it, killing him. The battlefield was silent from that point. He just caught back up to the others to and helped them with repairing their tracks. When they all finished they headed back to base to recuperate and celebrate.
End of Chapter Five
Are you guys enjoying this so far? I hope you guys enjoy ch5. Fight scenes still might be rushed, prewritten months ago, and won't get improved until ch7 which i am yet to write. I also have a lot more to go.
If this fanfic does well enough, I will consider writing a prequel-sequel that will be based around a soon to be introduced group that Steffi and Simply will join.
I know so far that I haven't introduced many characters that are sided with P.W.M., in chapter seven and eight I hope to change that. In chapter seven I have seven new characters to introduce, trust me, there's so many I may start losing track, my decision to add sooooo many characters lead me here. And, i will also, hopefully, write ch8 from the POV of a P.W.M. characters yet to be introduced. Just letting you guys know what I plan for this story.
I also want to apologize for coming of track, I said I would post 2 chapters a day so I can get as much of the prewritten story gone ASAP. The process of re-reading, editing, and adding to the chapters was more time consuming than I thought. I still will get the chapters up soon, one a day minimum until I'm out of the prewrites. Thank you, guys, for your patience.
Staying on that note, I will start, at the least, brainstorming for the MK fanfic. I hope to have ch1 at least in development by July 13, 2017. I hope to finalize and post it by August 14-ish, 2017, before my 2017-2018 school year starts.
Stay awesome guys,
SKORPIONMKXWARRIOR
