Chapter 9 - Tiger and Leopon Tag Team
[Viewing Platform #1 for V. ]
"The Super Pershing is a problem for them"
"Agreed, I went up against that tank when I was young and it cost me 4 tanks"
"Looks like that White Tiger has a plan though"
"If he truly is that person, then he will be able to overcome that Pershing easily" Shiho thought to herself
[Viewing Platform #2 for VIPs]
"What now Gero-kun how are you gonna beat that Pershing?"
"You seem to be very interested in this 'Gero-kun' Chouno-sama"
"Well he did beat me fair and square even when I had the advantage"
(Darjeeling almost spilled her tea when she heard those words)
"He beat you?! Chouno-sama?!" Darjeeling was interested now
"Yeah and he is a handsome fellow I might add" Chouno with a grin
"Assam! Quickly find out more about that White Tiger commander!"
"It's been a long time since I saw Darjeeling-sama interested in another person except for Miho-san" Pekoe said
"It is a rare opportunity to get data Pekoe-san" Assam said
"If you say so.." Orange Pekoe said
[Tournament Grounds]
"So what do you say Leopon Team?"
"Your right! That is a crazy plan Gero-san but worth it!"
"Alright then it's a go!"
"How long will we be able to keep up that speed Suzuki?" asked Tsuchiya
"Maybe two minutes before Leopon starts to burn up"
"Two minutes is enough!"
"Are you ready boys?"
"Say the word Matsu-kun!"
"Ono be ready for some speedy reloads!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Hajime inform Miho of our plan and status so that she won't worry"
"Already did Taichou"
"Awesome! Leopon Team let's ride!"
(Leopon and Tiger Team's engines started revving up)
*VROOOM *VROOOM *ENGINE NOISE
"What are they planning?" Naomi was confused
"I have no Idea but be alert all units!" Kay ordered
"Takashi be ready I think they're aimi-"
(Suddenly the two tigers accelerated towards the Pershing)
"Here they come! All units open fire!" Kay shouted
(A volley of shells went towards the two tigers but they evaded easily with their speed)
"Wohoooo! This is getting my blood pumping!" Tsuchiya shouted
"Round up Hoshino!"
"Firing!"
(The 88mm travelled at a high velocity and hit the frontal armor of the Pershing but no effect)
"Damn that thing is hard!"
"We are getting closer Matsu-kun!"
"Leopon Team now!"
(Suddenly both tigers drifted to both sides of the Pershing)
"What?! How the hell-" Alisa was surprised
"FIRE!" Both Tigers fired
"Shell bounced Gero!"
"Reverse now Tsuchiya!"
"Next plan Leopon!"
"Aye aye!"
(Both Tiger and Leopon Team are now going around and around the pershing in a fast and circular motion)
"How can they maintain that speed while doing...ugh its making me sick…" Kay said
"Open fire!" Alisa ordered
(The shermans fired but found out the problem in front of them)
*BOOOM *CLAANK *HIIIT
"Stop firing! Friendly fire! Good thing it bounced!" Takashi shouted
"Kay we can't shoot without risking hitting the pershing!" shouted Naomi
"Shit this is bad!" Takashi said
[Viewing Platform #1 for VIPs]
"I see now! They are using the Pershing as a shield while trying to destroy it!" Maho said
"But for how long can they keep up that speed I wonder, the Porsche Tiger has a bad engine" Shiho commented
[Viewing Platform #2 for VIPs]
"Ahahaha another crazy idea by Gero-kun! He just keeps on going doesn't he?" Chouno laughed
"Darjeeling-sama! I want to try out that as well with our crusaders-desu wa!" shouted a hyper redhead
"Rosehip stop shouting!"
[Back at the Tigers and Pershing]
"Alriight now! Stop!"
"Roger!"
(Both tigers stopped once again this time at the back and at the side of the pershing)
"FIRE!"
"Oh no you won't ! Driver shift angle!" Takashi ordered
(The Pershing shifted its body so that it would hide its rear and showed its thick armor)
*BOUND *CLANK
"Go around again!"
"Damn I'm getting dizzy Matsu-kun!"
"Don't worry the turret can't keep up with us! Keep it up Ken-chan!"
"Yeah it's too slow-"
(Just as Gero said that, the turret of the pershing suddenly moved faster than expected and aimed towards the White Tiger)
"No way! Ken do 'that'!"
"I got you now! Fir-!" Takashi aimed for the tiger
(Suddenly on his turret sight the White Tiger slowly disappeared from his vision)
*KABOOM *BAAAAM
"Shiiiiiit!"
(The Pershing's shot missed the tiger even though the aim was perfect then at the same time..)
"FIRING!"
*BOOOM *HIIIT
(The Pershing's left side armor was ripped by the 88mm and now vulnerable)
"Nice shot Hoshino!"
"Damn they hit us from the other side!" Takashi panicked
"This is bad..Takashi!" shouted Alisa but couldn't help
"You boys alright?!" asked Nakajima
"Yeah barely missed us!" *cough *cough
"Gero-san! Left side armor is now gone but couldn't finish it off"
"Alright this will be the last rotation! Let's end this!"
(Both tigers now speeding up again around the pershing)
"Leopon Team you go for the shot! We will distract it!"
"Got it! Tsuchiya make sure to stop by the broken left armor!"
"Will do!"
"Steady..steady...NOW!"
"Round up!"
"FIRE!"
(Tiger Team shot at the Pershing's right side and the shell bounced and Gero saw the worst case scenario)
"Like I said..that tank won't go down easily" Kay said with an evil smile
"N-No way, it's not aiming here ..damn it...Leopon Team!" Gero shouted as hard as he could
(At that moment the Super Pershing's 90mm turret was not distracted at all and is aiming directly at Leopon Team's Tiger then a large explosion was heard)
"FIRE!" ordered Takashi
*BOOOOM
"KYAAAA!~" Leopon team shouted
(The force of the 90mm shell forced the heavy Porsche Tiger to flip over then a white flag popped up)
"Nice shot you lil' shit" Kay said
"Thank you Kay-san" Takashi replied
"All units open fire on that White Tiger!"
(A volley once again poured over the White Tiger while it's taking evasive maneuvers)
"Leopon Team! Come in! Are you okay?! Leopon Team!"
*Static *Static
"W-...-re...f-..d-..n.. Wo-.."
"Repeat! Leopon Team!"
"Stop shouting geez!" Nakajima responded
"Oh thank God...don't scare us like that!"
"We said we're fine don't worry!" Hoshino said
"But staring at a 90mm cannon is scary!"
"Ahahaha Tsuchiya did you wet yourself?"
"I did not!"
"Sounds like their fine Taichou" assured by Hajime
"Yeah...but my plan almost got them injured.."
"Hey hey don't go regretting at this point.." Nakajima said
"Nakajima is right Gero-san it was a good fight!" Hoshino said
"Hoshino-san.."
"Now hurry and rendezvous with the commander she still needs you in this match"
"Thank you Tsuchiya-san, and the rest of Leopon team. We will win this"
"Damn right you will! Go get them boys!"
"Ken maximum speed out of here!"
"Roger that!"
(The White Tiger was able to pull back with its speed)
"Damn that tiger really is fast!" Alisa hissed
"Makes you wonder if it really is a heavy tank huh?" Naomi laughed
"All units this is War Mama follow that running cat towards its nest"
"Yes Ma'am!"
(Immediately the Saunders Tank Formation is now headed towards the rest of the Ooarai tanks)
[Viewing Platform #1 for VIPs]
"Looks like their plan failed to take out the Pershing"
"..."
"Okaa-sama?"
(Shiho was yet again staring and not answering for she was now certain of one thing)
"That move…"
"Move? What move Okaa-sama?" Miho asked
"N-Nothing..it wasn't a bad attempt on their part but losing that Porsche Tiger is a big hit to their forces"
(Maho yet again couldn't understand what her mother is talking about)
"If that Tiger is capable of doing that move..then I'm sure of it now..he really is..my.." Shiho thought to herself once more
