Chapter 3 - Onwards to Senshado

[Matsumoto Household - Tokyo]

"Well kuso-jiji were off to an unknown adventure of Senshado"

(Matsumoto ignoring his son's words)

"Ono-kun! Ken-kun! I'm counting on you alright!"

"You got it Matsumoto-san!"

"We won't let Matsu-kun out of our sight!"

"HOY DON'T IGNORE ME!"

(Suddenly Matsumoto hugged Gero)

"Oi kuso-jiji what are you doing?"

(Gero felt the hug get tighter)

"No matter what happens, no matter what you decide on, this is your home and I will always be here for you, my son,remember that"

(Gero just smiled and hugged his father back)

"Itikimasu oto-san, I'll do my best and I won't let you down"

"I know you won't"

(They separated from the hug and said their goodbyes)

*brooom *brooom

(The engines of the Tiger I started up and they are on their way to the port)

"Hey Ono how far to the port?"

"Probably 30mins more Gero so please stop asking every 5 minutes"

"But my ass hurts so much from riding in this tin can!"

"Come on Matsu-kun all three of us are just feeling the same as you!"

"I've been wondering how the hell are you able to drive a tank Ken?"

"Like I said I've had some simulation practice from the games I played"

"Hope you know what you are doing Ken cause I don't want to get lost"

"Ken has gotten us this far right? Trust in him more Gero"

"I do trust him I just feel a little nervous in this adventure of ours"

(Ono had a little chuckle)

"Me too Gero, both nervous and excited"

"Well since Ken is our driver then I'll be gunner and Ono will be loader?"

"Sounds good to me!"

"But who'll be the commander?"

"Who else but you Matsu-kun!"

"Huh?! Both gunner and commander? You gotta be kidding right?"

"You can do it Taichou!"

(Gero let out a big sigh)

"Don't blame me for anything alright?"

"We trust you'll make the right decisions"

"But we still need a radioman so we are still one man short"

"Don't worry about that I already have the perfect guy"

"Really? Who did you get?"

"You'll see when we get to port"

[Tokyo Port]

"We are finally here! Time to walk my legs are starting to get numb!"

"You sound like an old guy Matsu-kun"

(Gero jumped down from the tank while Ken parked the tank in the boat)

"Glad you made it Taichou"

(Gero looked to his right to find the Shirokumo Student Council President)

"Ohh Hajime-san what brings you here?!"

"What? Didn't Nakamura-kun tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"I'm your new radioman for White Tiger team"

"Really?! Wow thanks for the support glad to have you aboard! I knew you were a nice guy"

"Thanks for having me, well I can't have you tarnish the good name of our school now can I?"

"I take that back not so very nice guy"

"Haha just kidding Taichou"

(This is Taiyou Hajime, Shirokumo Boys School Student Council President. He has green hair and a pony tail with black eyes)

"So where are headed to Hajime? Do we have a school we can transfer to already?"

"Yes taichou we are headed to Ibaraki Prefecture"

"Hang on..Ibaraki then meaning the school is-"

"You have guessed it. We will be joining Ooarai"

"Talk about playing with the big boys immediately"

"Don't you mean girls?"

"Right"

"The 63rd Senshado Champs and the famous Miho Nishizumi Taichou"

"Miho..Nishizumi..Ughh!"

(Gero again had a sudden headache)

"Taichou are you alright?"

"Yeah..yeah just a lot of info to digest"

"You can do it Taichou" Hajime laughing

(Ono and Ken approached the two)

"Hey Taiyou nice to see you again!"

"Yo Seto-kaichou!"

"Nakamura-kun, Tsugomoto-kun same to you!"

"Hey Ono, Ken we're headed for Ooarai!"

(Both stood in Awe)

"Wow I can't believe we get to be with the champs Matsu-kun!"

"Isn't that great Ken-chan? We can finally meet the The Ooarai Senshado Team"

"So excited for this! Thank you Taichou for getting us this opportunity!"

"Calm down Ken before you pass out again"

"How calm can you be Matsu-kun!? Haven't you seen them and how cool they were in the tournament?!"

"I only saw one match and it was the finals and I have to admit that last drift in the end got my blood pumping!"

"Riiiight?! Two sisters fighting for the win! So Dramatic and Fantastiiiic!"

(Yep Ken passed out)

"Geez Ken what are we gonna do with you! Taiyou help me get him inside before we leave"

"Can't be helped then. Well taichou see you inside"

"Yeah I'll just stay here for a couple of minutes"

(The two carried Ken inside the boat)

"Two sisters fighting each other. Ridiculous. Why do you have to fight each other when your family?"

(Gero went aboard the boat as it was about to depart. 16 hours till they reach the port of Ooarai)

[Ooarai Student Council Room]

"Our guests will be arriving tomorrow Kaichou"

"Alright let's make sure we give them a warm welcome momo-chan"

"Understood, don't call me momo-chan!"

"Don't be so shy Momo-chan"

"Be quiet Yuzu-chan not you too!"

[Ooarai Port - 16 Hours later]

"Finally we are here in Ooarai! After 16 hours and 10 faints from Ken later"

"Geezus Tsugomoto-kun I thought you were gonna make the highest record of number of faints in 1 boat ride"

"I'm sorry guys getting excited and boats didn't match well for me"

"So Hajime what is the plan now?"

"Well we are supposed to meet the Student Council of Ooarai-"

"HEEEEEEEY!"

"There you go taichou a warm welcome for us"

(Gero and the gang looked up and saw a big banner for them saying...)

"WELCOME TO OOARAI 1ST EVER BOYS IN SENSHADO"

"Ha ha ha not very subtle aren't they?" Ono said

"So much energy I like it!" Ken added

(The two groups approached each other)

"How do you do I'm Kodatani Anzu Seto-kaichou of Ooarai Girls School!"

"I am Hajime Taiyou Seto-kaichou of Shirokumo Boys High School thank you for having us"

"It's all good all good this is my VP and PR Manager"

"I'm Kawashima Momo nice to meet you."

"Yuzu Koyama-desu welcome to Ooarai!"

"Nice to meet you all"

"What about those guys behind you Taiyou-kun?"

"Hey guys don't be shy and introduce yourselves!"

"I- I'm- I'm Tsugomoto Ken, position driver! 16 years old currently single and looking for a girl- a girlfri-"

(Guess what? Ken passed out. Again)

"Ara ara" Anzu said

"Please forgive our friend Ken-chan here he is a little tired"

"Ha ha ha it's alright and you are?"

"I'm Nakamura Ono, Position is loader, nice to meet you!"

"You to! How about the last guy there just staring at his passed out friend"

"Hey Gero don't be rude now"

"Oh I'm sorry about that, our friend has the weirdest face when he sleeps"

"I see very kind fellow aren't you" Momo said

"I'm Gero Matsumoto, position is Gunner and Commander pleased to make your acquaintance"

"Kodatani Anzu-san, Kawashima Momo, and Koyama Yuzu-san"

(The three of them were surprised)

"Hooo amazing I thought for sure you weren't listening much when we introduced ourselves a while ago." Anzu said

"Thank you for that. Surprisingly I have been really good with names"

(Momo noticed something about Gero Matsumoto. He never really paid attention when they introduced themselves. He just looked for about 10 seconds and already memorized our names)

"This guy is something else" Momo thought

"Well how about we get going Kaichou and get them to our Carrier" Yuzu suggested

"Yeah great Idea, by the way, do you have your tank? Cause we just brought our tank and forgot to bring another and we won't fit all inside unfortunately"

"Don't worry about that we can follow you in our tank Kaichou-san!"

"Call me Anzu and I'll call you Gero! Deal?"

"Alright then Anzu-san. Hey Ken! Get our tank down here now."

"Roger that taichou!"

(The three heard a very loud and familiar engine roaring towards them)

"Sorry for the wait Anzu-san we are ready to go!"

(The three were shocked and in awe of what they saw. A White Tiger!)

"Sugoi Gero! This is absolutely amazing!" Anzu cheered

(Gero just gave a smile towards them)

"Alright driver follow The Student Council's tank and keep up!"

"Roger roger!"

[Ooarai School Carrier]

"Alright boys here we are welcome to our School Carrier! Make yourselves at home!" Anzu cheerfully said.

"Park your tank there by the garage and we will have our Maintenance Team have a look at it tomorrow. For now get some rest and we will continue tomorrow with the others." Momo told them

"Roger that Kawashima-san! Alright boys pack it up and get ready to move"

(The rest of the crew dismounted and got there stuff)

"Koyama-san where will be hunkering down for the night?" asked by Hajime

"You will be staying at this apartment here it's near the School so you can just walk from their tomorrow morning"

"Alright! sounds like a plan let's go guys!"

"Thank you guys for welcoming us again and have a nice evening!"

"Don't mention it Gero see y'all tomorrow!"

(The four guys went to their apartment and was finally able to rest)

"Hey taichou we are finally here! Together with the champs!"

"I'm surprised you can still feel anything after passing out 11 times"

"Hahaha Gero don't be so hard on Ken-chan"

"Well no matter how many times he fainted we have to focus now for our new goal"

"See Matsu-kun? because of you even Kaichou is being mean to me now!"

(The four burst out in laughter)

"That's right, we have a new comrades now, and I have you guys with me"

"I know we can do this guys and we will put on a show for them girls"

"You sure know how to say it Taichou"

"Oh shut it Hajime, come on guys let's get some shut eye for our big day tomorrow"

"Roger that!" the other three said in unison
