Fumie and the others had arrived at the platform. They were going to take the train to Saunders to try to cause chaos. Manami was rubbing her hands together as there was an attempt that she could knock them out of the war. She hoped that Fumie and the crew were going to do this quickly enough to make sure that they could still win and focus on bringing the other schools down first. Fumie was the last to board the train as she looked at Manami.

"Tell Alexandra that you have my greatest wish to take the rotten school out." Fumie began while climbing up the stairs.

"You tell her, I have to go back to my school and focus on trying to defeat Azumi and Earl Gray now." Manami knew she needed to quickly cut this conversation short and get these students on the road. The train whistle blew as the train began to roll out of the station. On board of this train were Katyusha, Nonna, Lisa, Clementia, Reni, Polina, Ruiko, Fumie and a few others were now on the train. Fumie had locked herself away in one of the cabins as she was spending much of her time reading and writing. She had been paying attention to what had been going on in Saunders and maybe their appearance will help try to turn the tide of the fight and with her at the helm, this meant she was willing to take the school in a different direction.

"Interesting." Fumie would tell herself. The train would continue to roll along. Fumie also made sure that someone was in touch with Manami who had the directions of what train to get on and where they needed to go. After that they boarded another train which took them through Viggen before they finally got onto one heading to Petrograd. The trip lasted all day and into the night. She wasn't going to arrive until the next morning.

Morning came and the school was still embroiled in chaos. The power vacuum was proving to be rather hard to fill as Kerensky was planning for a new offensive, Alexandra was plotting her takeover and Kay was nowhere to be seen. In the worker's building. Alexandra was looking at whatever maps and supplies they have. She heard a knock on her door and tried to figure out what it was.

"Come in." Alexandra told whoever was at the door to open and come in. The door opened as Konstantina wandered in.

"Alexandra I have some news I want to share. Someone is on their way to Petrograd." Konstantina began. Alexandra curious to see who it was looking up.

"Who is it then?" Alexnadra asked. "Is it Tricolor Middle School who said they were shipping their grain over to us?"

"They're coming but they won't be coming until this afternoon. Who is immediately coming is some girl called Fumie Kame from a school called Pravda and she's bringing her friends along with her." Konstantina told Alexandra who was coming as of this moment. Alexandra placed her papers down as she was now interested.

"Fumie?" Alexandra asked. Konstantina nodded yes, Alexandra got up and looked at Konstantina. "Let's go greet her then." Alexandra and Konstantina walked off to the platform where they were going to greet her.

Many of the Petrograd Sovetskikh members had gathered at the platform as they were going to greet the arrival of the Pravda students. Many of them couldn't contain their excitement as they were talking to themselves.

"Oh boy! Fumie from Pravda Girls High School is coming over. I can't wait to let her see all the great things we have accomplished." One of the girls began as she was bouncing up and down in place as they were finally going to see Pravda's commander.

"And I can't wait to show her my fan art." The artist told her friend as she had spent a long time making a very good piece of art for her to hang on to. She spotted the Pravda students as Fumie walked over as she was greeted by a very excited crowd. "Oh look, here she comes now." Fumie walked onto the stage as everyone cheered and clapped her appearance. Fumie knew she needed to quell the crowd.

"Shut up, SHUT UP! You all suck! The Provisional Government sucks, the Soviet sucks, even your fanart sucks!" Fumie shouted at the crowd that she wasn't a fan of what was going on. Alexandra and Konstantina were watching from a distance and they didn't know what was going on. Then the crowd went from excited to sobbing within seconds as Fumie told them that they all sucked, tears were all coming out of their eyes.

"Why does she have to be so mean?" The artist sobbed as she thought the drawing of her sucked. Alexandra looked on as it was very clear that Fumie wasn't a fan of what had happened so far. Fumie walked over as she began speaking next.

"I'm not one of a big cheering crowd and there is a lot of stuff I'm still angry about with this school." Fumie began. She walked with Alexandra and Konstantia as the latter herded Fumie into the office. Fumie then spent the rest of her restless morning typing away. Once she was finished, she decided to put this information out. "I have laid out the information in what I will call the April theses as I am going to give a critique of the school in its current form."

April Theses:

I have outlined a few theses which I shall supply with some commentaries. I could not, because of the lack of time, present a thorough, systematic report. The basic question is our attitude towards the war.

The basic things confronting you as you read about Saunders or observe conditions here are the triumph of defencism, the triumph of the traitors to Socialism, the deception of the masses by the bourgeoisie... The new government, like the preceding one, is imperialistic, despite the promise of a republic - it is imperialistic through and through.

One: In our attitude toward the war not the slightest concession must be made to "revolutionary defencism," for under the new government of Kerensky & Co., owing to the capitalist nature of this government, the war on Saunders' part remains a predatory imperialist war. In view of the undoubted honesty of the mass of rank and file representatives of revolutionary defencism who accept the war only as a necessity and not as a means of conquest, in view of their being deceived by the bourgeoisie, it is necessary most thoroughly, persistently, patiently to explain to them their error, to explain the inseparable connection between capital and the imperialist war, to prove that without the overthrow of capital it is impossible to conclude the war with a really democratic, non-oppressive peace. This view is to be widely propagated among the army units in the field...

Two: The peculiarity of the present situation in Saunders is that it represents a transition from the first stage of the revolution - which, because of the inadequate organization and insufficient class consciousness of the proletariat, led to the assumption of power by the bourgeoisie - to its second stage which is to place power in the hands of the proletariat and the poorest strata of the peasantry... This peculiar situation demands of us an ability to adapt ourselves to the specific conditions of party work amidst vast masses of the proletariat just awakening to political life.

Three: No support to the Provisional Government; exposure of the utter falsity of all its promises, particularly those relating to the renunciation of annexations. Unmasking, instead of admitting, the illusion-breeding "demand" that this government, a government of capitalist, should cease to be imperialistic...

Four: Recognition of the fact that in most of the Soviets of Workers' Deputies our party constitutes a minority, and a small one at that, in the face of the bloc of all the petty bourgeois opportunist elements... who have yielded to the influence of the bourgeoisie... It must be explained to the masses that the Soviet of Workers' Deputies is the only possible form of revolutionary government and that, therefore, our task is, while this government is submitting to the influence of the bourgeoisie, to present a patient, systematic, and persistent analysis of its errors and tactics, an analysis especially adapted to the practical needs of the masses...

Five: Not a parliamentary republic - a return to it from the Soviet of Workers' Deputies would be a step backward - but a republic of Soviets of Workers', Agricultural Laborers' and Peasants' Deputies throughout the land, from top to bottom. Abolition of the police, the army, the bureaucracy... All officers to be elected and to be subject to recall at any time, their salaries not to exceed the average wage of a competent worker...

Six: In the agrarian programme, the emphasis must be shifted to the Soviets of Agricultural Laborers' Deputies. Confiscation of private lands. Nationalization of all lands in the country, and management of such lands by local Soviets of Agricultural Laborers' and Peasants' Deputies. A separate organization of Soviets of Deputies of the poorest peasants. Creation of model agricultural establishments out of large estates...

Seven: Immediate merger of all the banks in the country into one general national bank, over which the Soviet of Workers' Deputies should have control...

Eight: Not the "introduction" of Socialism as an immediate task, but the immediate placing of the Soviet of Workers' Deputies in control of social production and distribution of goods...

Nine: Party tasks:
• A. Immediate calling of a party convention.
• B. Changing the party program, mainly:
1 Concerning imperialism and the imperialist war.
2 Concerning our attitude toward the state, and our demand for a 'commune state."
3 Amending our antiquated minimum programme.

Ten: Rebuilding the International. Taking the initiative in the creation of a revolutionary International, an International against the social-chauvinists and against the "center"...

"The school is still nothing more than a bunch of big bourgeois bozos and there is still a lot of stuff I am mad about. The school is still at war with Kuromorimine and it hasn't fulfilled its promises. Although some of the stuff I am kind of happy about such as taking the steps to end hunger the best way you could and disbanding some of the corrupted services under the previous leaders." Fumie told Alexandra that despite these shortcomings there was some progress being made which no matter how small, she was happy for. Now the next step was to try to get the people onto her side and plot the overthrow of Kerensky. If the people could get rid of Kay, maybe they could get rid of this man too. Lisa walked over as she had some news.

"Well I like the fact that we're still talking but I got some news that Tricolor Middle School has arrived with a couple hundred sailor volunteers and twenty five tons of grain. I don't know how long it'll last but they're making grain runs to try to prevent the school from starving itself." Lisa told them. The students walked in as some began to line up, they were the sailors from their school.

"Sailor Nekonya reporting for duty." Nekota greeted them. She was flanked by four other sailors. "I'm Nekota and these are my friends, Akebi, Aya, Nina and Alina."

"Nice to meet you all. So we have a lot of work to do. The first mission for your school is to rouse the sailors up and convince them to turn against Kerensky. Bribe them with food if you have to." Fumie laid out the mission that they needed to start recruiting people to join their side.

"Got you. Let's get to work." Nekota told her friends before they walked off. Now with them out of the way, they knew they needed to get back to work and this meant trying to fix the grain problem and getting Saunders out of the war.

"So there are three big problems with the school." Fumie began. "The first one is the most obvious, Saunders is still in the war and this war will continuously drain our resources unless we negotiate with Kuromorimine and then we can rebuild. The second part is the fact that farming has been privatized for quite some time now meaning only a few select people own most of the land and we need to fix that as the students need to secure their own future and therefore their own food. The last one is the most obvious as it's a combination of the other two, food for everyone." Fumie laid out the three policies that they need to do going forward. Alexandra listened with interest.

"Мир, Земля & Хлеб?" Alexandra asked if this was what Fumie had in mind.

"Yep. I like how you are picking up on this. Also nice language you said there. I think you'd fit into Pravda quite easily." Fumie nodded to Alexandra's approval.

"I've studied it for the past four years, surely something should come from it." Alexandra replied. Fumie turned away and began speaking.

"Also we need to get rid of the provisional government and have us just run the place, it will be my dream come true." Fumie added on that they needed to make their move if they were to achieve those three goals.

"Вся власть Советам?" Alexandra asked. She smiled as she liked the idea of the takeover of Saunders. Konstantina was listening in the background as she decided to add into the conversation.

"Even if it's all power to us, there is one problem. The people will continue to support the Provisional Government as long as it doesn't mess up. Since we're still in the war, any support that is there for them will quickly die away and if they do mess up, another riot will take control of the school. For now, we should try to distance ourselves from the revolution until we know we are truly ready." Konstantina described that the support for them would quickly drop as the people would become enraged over the fact that Kerensky hadn't made peace with Kuromorimine as of yet. Fumie and Alexandra listened as Konstantina had a point, they needed people they could recruit to their side if it meant taking over Saunders, just a few hundred students weren't going to convince the population of tens of thousands to overthrow Kerensky. They were going to wait for Kerensky to make his first move before descending on him like a pack of wolves.

"Okay but I'm going all in when I sense an opportunity." Fumie told Konstantina that she wasn't willing to wait regardless of what decisions were made.

Some of the Pravda and Tricolor students met and held several meetings together to discuss what they planned on doing going forward. Fumie's message to begin preparing for the overthrow of Kerensky was tossed around but that was still in its planning phase. Nonna went off to join the Moldovan front to try to convince the troops to fight under her command instead of Kay who was still fighting for her ideals. Jajka, Mika, Nelly, Megumi and Lola were in a rather uneasy position as Himari and now Yuri had taken over Alexandra and many of the former aristocratic students from the story's beginning had filled the ranks and decided to conduct much of the war themselves.

Lola was listening in as Kerensky was speaking to the students about the war going forward.

"Bonple is now controlled by Kuromorimine, the Dual Alliance is in borderline collapse and we believe one more massive offensive will put the nail in the coffin for them." Kerensky began. "The target for the offensive is Lemberg and I want to continue advancing, the Moldovan front will launch supporting attacks to see if they can regain some of their lost territory."

"Well let's see how well we can do this. Now that Kay has been given the boot, we should be able to advance." Yuri told them as she was rather happy to not have Kay as their leader.

"Kay is still with us as she is only in command of her legion. I will be leading the offensive." Kerensky told Yuri that control of the Saunders army was now his responsibility. Yuri nodded.

"I'm still willing to accept it either way." Yuri replied as she relaxed on her chair. "Can I please have my soy coffee please?"

"Get it yourself you lazy bum." Lola retorted that she was no maid to Yuri.

"Now, I don't want anyone fighting among each other as we are supposed to work together, not against each other." Kerensky explained that this wasn't an environment for fighting so much as working with each other.

"Okay." Lola sighed. She felt like she had lost her leverage over the situation that she had little to no support to stand on her own two feet unlike what Alexandra had done before.

"Good, get ready to launch the next offensive, we're going in tomorrow." Kerensky told them as he went off to get ready.

Lola was still feeling rather uneasy. Not only did she feel like she had lost some of her strength that was bolstered by Alexandra, there was no authority over the aristocrats that were now controlling the school. Megumi walked over as she spotted Lola.

"Is there something wrong?" Megumi asked Lola if something didn't seem to be in the norm for her.

"There is. I can't have any strength to tell the bums to stop acting like snowflakes that they want everything for themselves. I can't handle it." Lola told Megumi that she felt like there was no authority and now Himari and Yuri were calling the shots.

"We all feel like we don't have any strength." Nathalia told the group. Nathalia stepped from the shadows as she wasn't happy with herself and the direction this was going in. "Kerensky is giving every privilege to the two of them and the entire Saunders army will be gone within a matter of hours. I say we try our best to carry out the offensive as best as we can. If it fails, then we should try getting rid of that man."

"What happens if that fails?" Megumi asked as she remained worried about what was going to happen. Nathalia turned away and began to think. She knew the situation was looking grim for all of them.

"Evacuate the Gregor Legion from Saunders and save yourselves." Nathalia told them that leaving Saunders was becoming more and more like the only option they had left.

"What about you Nathalia?" Megumi asked if she was coming with them.

"I'm more inclined to fight back the old system with no Kay and no Kerensky. If someone else replaces them both, I will fight them too. I want the school to go back to the way it was when this year began. Alexandra shouldn't have had problems with her kidneys." Nathalia sat on a chair and looked away from them. Lola then looked at Megumi, time was running out for Saunders and another revolution seemed to be around the corner for them.

"Okay but if we don't make it through this… Nathalia, it was nice knowing you." Megumi told Nathalia before she turned away and walked off with Lola. Nathalia wasn't going to be participating in the upcoming offensive either. They felt all hope had been lost for them all.

Lola was now thinking to herself. What went wrong so far back, did Kay's leadership ruin the school to the point of no return? She felt like Kerensky's offensive was going to be a disaster as the school's reforms were weakening the school and not making it stronger. She turned to Lola and knew she had to ask her something.

"Megumi?" Lola asked. Megumi turned her head to see what Lola had to ask her. "Do you think the school is doomed to fail?" Lola's words were uncertain as her morale was low.

"I think so at this point. The revolution has broken us apart. Even if I would say Kay was a bad leader, we managed to hold ourselves together for so long. Now that everyone is splitting apart and now trying to get this said power for themselves. It's only a matter of time before we're fighting among ourselves as well as Kuromorimine and its allies." Megumi tried to explain, the clock was ticking down for them all, this offensive was either going to make or break the school, teetering between greatness and failure. It was all on the offensive. Megumi began to walk away as Lola was left alone.

"I hope God knew what he was talking about even if everyone hated him. God told them the truth." Lola told herself. She didn't know what tomorrow was going to bring.

[A/N]: A short chapter but this is a build up to another offensive and all of the characters are beginning to break into their groups and are preparing for their own moves. Alexandra and Konstantina are in one group as they had been bolstered by Pravda and sailor students from another school. Nathalia, Megumi, Nelly and Lola are in another group, Himari and Yuri are with Kerensky and the Provisional government and Kay… I don't know what group I should place Kay into. If you have any ideas on where she should belong, I am open for it. Jajka and Mika are most likely going to split the very instant this school falls apart. See you in the next chapter as it will be the offensive. See you later. Goodbye.
