Chapter 16 - Night Raid
[Team King - Improvised Bathing Rooms - 14 Hours Left ]
"This feeeeels niiiiiceeeeee" Saori sad
"It's wonderful we get to bathe after a hot and sweaty battle.." Hana said
"I'm sleepy~"
"Rezei-dono! Don't sleep there the drum might tip over!" Yukari said
(The girls were enjoying a Warm Drum Bath that the boys prepared for them with the wood they got this morning. They had enough drums to at least have 20 girls take a bath in turns. Erika and the others were already in the drums relaxing)
"We should thank Gero-kun and the boys for this treat they gave us.." Maho said
"Why do we have to show gratitude to that Bakatora!?" Erika said
"Come on Itsumi-san don't say that…Gero worked hard for us"
"That's right Erika don't be mean to him..Gero-kun even took your temperature using his forehead.." Maho said with a Grin
"T-thats! Maho-san don't say that out loud!" Erika blushing
"Itsumi-san is blushing onee-chan!"
"I'm not!"
"Then did you hate that he did that?" Maho asked
"Of course! He did that without permission!"
"But you didn't move away when he did it..you waited for him to move.."
"Y-you're imagining things!"
"Hmm..maybe I should have Gero take my temperature as well.."
"Haaa?! Why does he have to take your temperature?!" Erika shouted
"Why are you suddenly angry Erika?"
"B-B-Because that Bakatora might do something weird to Miho-san!"
"Or you want him to do that to you only Itsumi-san?"
"NO I DON'T! I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT THAT!" Erika shouted
(Erika suddenly blushed hard at what Miho said. Maho laughed because she is seeing that Miho and Erika are close enough now to tease each other. Then they hear voices of other kuromorimine girls in the bathing area talking about the boys)
"Hey..don't you think the boys in the white tiger are not so bad?"
"Yeah they even prepared these baths for us, they're so kind!"
"I thought so too! And Nakamura-san is handsome and very nice..!"
"I prefer Hajime-san the cool and collected type.."
"Their driver, Tsugumoto-kun teaches me sometimes on how to maneuver better!"
"Are you sure he isn't teaching you something else hmmm?"
"Hey! Stop saying weird stuff!"
(The girls laughed together and were having fun. Miho and the other two smiled to see the moral of the girls are still high. They got off the bath now and started drying themselves off so that other girls can take a bath)
"Those boys really have changed the way things are..some of the girls are now thinking that it's not a bad thing to have boys around in Senshado" Maho said
"Yeah..they are all kind and caring for us girls..they make us laugh by telling jokes and helps us always with the heavy stuff.."
"I have to admit..they are a big help to us..even though he is just a Bakatora.." Erika said
(Miho and Maho smiled at how honest Erika has become now with her feelings. The girls started talking about the boys again)
"Hey hey..the White Tiger's commander..don't you think he's very cool?!"
"He is handsome also!"
"You think he already has a girlfriend?"
"I don't think so..but he is very close with Nishizumi Taichou and Ooarai's Nishizumi-san as well.."
"Ohh do you think he is dating one of them?! Or is it a love triangle between sisters?!"
"And they are fighting over him?!"
"KYAAAAA~!"
(After hearing this both Miho and Maho blushed and Erika was looking at them with jealous eyes and started questioning them)
"Maho-san..Miho-san..don't tell me they are right?" Erika asked
"D-Don't be silly Erika..why would I-" Maho said
"T-That's right Itsumi-san they are wrong about me and Gero-"
"Hmmm very suspicious..Maho-san is pretty close with that Bakatora..and Miho-san calls him without honorifics..very suspicious.."
"Like we said Itsumi-san it's not like that!" Miho said while fumbling with tankery uniform
"Both of you even talked to me about him and told me to not be hard on him and defended him..really now?"
"It's just he is a nice guy and helped us out that we had to say that.." Maho said
"Is it perhaps..you are jealous Itsumi-san?"
"Haaaa?! W-W-Why w-w-would I be jealous?! He is just a Bakatora!"
(Miho and Maho noticed Erika's reaction and teased her again. This little moment of relaxation has a big effect on a tanker's state of mind and helps ease away frustration to perform better)
"By the way, why don't you call Gero by his name Itsumi-san?" Miho asked
"Because he is a Bakatora that's why"
"But Erika, you called him by his name a while ago before going to the bath.." Maho said
"Because he did that weird temperature thing and surprised me-"
"Kommandant! Enemy attack! 200 meters!" Koume shouted bursting into the bathing area
"Haa!? How can they be so close already?!"
"They used the dark and rain as cover we didn't even hear their engines!" Koume said
"Quickly! Everyone out of the baths! Man your posts! NOW!"
"YES KOMMANDANT!"
(Everyone now started panicking and hurried out of the bath while Miho, Maho, and Erika went out first to check the situation but they heard explosions already inside the castle. When they got outside they saw chaos already inside the castle)
"They're already inside?! I thought you said 200 meters!?" Erika said
"Yes they were Kommandant..this must be different.." Koume said
"Kommandant! One tank got inside fast and headed to the courtyard! The others are still approaching!" Erwin said
"Damn it! How did this happen?!"
[250 meters from the gate - 5 Minutes ago]
"..Tulta!.."
(A shot was fired into a CV 33 guarding the gate and got white flagged then a volley of shots followed up and hit the guards at the wall forcing them to take cover)
"Mikko max speed towards the gate.." a voice ordered
"Roger!"
"Isn't this exciting a surprise sneak attack at night! We haven't done this before" said Aki
(Through the wait fields and in the darkness a BT-42 emerged and accelerated towards the unguarded gate and successfully infiltrated the castle. Behind her about 50 meters behind were 4 Matildas and 4 Crusaders)
"That Jatkosota girl is fast as always!" Rukuriri said
"I won't be beaten by her! As the fastest speedster of St. Gloriana I shall put my name on the line-desu wa!" Rosehip shouted
(A volley of shots impacted at the Matildas and Crusaders but were successfully dodging them due to their speed. All crusaders and Matildas got in also but as soon as they got in they were met with Panthers. After a firefight inside the gate a Matilda got whiteflagged. The rest have scattered all throughout the castle)
"Kommandant! 4 Crusaders and 3 Matildas are now inside the castle!" Koume radioed
"All units we have rats in the nest! Search and destroy! Catch them before they do damage to our forces!" Erika said
"Kommandant! This is Elefant! Our Lion Tank has been white flagged! We are cornered-"
*STATIC *STATIC
"Elefant! Respond! Damn it!"
"Itsumi-san! Some tank has penetrated the courtyard and destroyed a heavy tank"
"Bakatora with me to the courtyard! Miho-san and Maho-san eliminate the intruders!" Erika ordered
"YES KOMMANDANT!"
[Team King - Inner Courtyard]
"Rabbit Team and Anteater Team! We have to take care of that Bt-42 before it gets to the Maus!" Erwin said
"Roger!"
"You got it-nyaa!"
(The stug III fire a shot at the BT-42 but got dodged easily and started to circle around them. Anteater team fired a shot but didn't hit then suddenly the BT-42 drifted to its side and shot their tank rendering a white flag to pop up)
"You'll pay for that!" Azusa shouted
(Rabbit Team was chasing the BT-42 all around the courtyard when suddenly it moved left and reversed suddenly. The surprised M3 Lee tried to stop but the wet floor caused by the rain made them slip and hit sideways into a wall. The BT-42 shot at its rear engine then a white flag popped up)
"Forgive us Hippo Team it's all on you!" Azusa said
(The BT-42 chased the Stug III in the courtyard and was evading the shells. The stug III has no rotating turret so it's at a disadvantage during a chase)
"Oryo let's do that move again! Let's show them how it's done!" Caesar said
"Alright! Here it goes! Napoliturn!" Oryo shouted
(The Stug III suddenly did a 360 turn then reversed in one single flow of movement towards the BT-42 giving chase)
"Ohh that's a cool trick that Stug did!" Mikko said with a smile
"Fire!" Erwin shouted
"So I guess you do it like this.." Mikko said
(The BT-42 suddenly went right dodging the shell and accelerated past the stug III then copied the Napoliturn right behind the reversing stug III and shot at its rear armor causing it to spin and hit the corner of the courtyard with a white flag on it)
"No way..she just did the napoliturn.." Caesar said
"She is too much for us.." Erwin said
"You know I could've just rotated the turret without you doing that move.." Aki said
"Ehh..but it was more fun that way!" Mikko smiled
(Two Panthers and two Panzer IIIs arrived in the courtyard as backup but was too late)
"Looks like more tanks arrived..what do we do now Mika?"
"Doesn't matter how many more come..the wind is blowing in our favor." Mika said and played a note on her Kantele
[Team King - Inner Castle Areas - East Side]
"Onee-chan I got 3 Matildas in front of me, I'm bringing them to you!"
"I'm ready Miho just say the word.." Maho said
"NOW!"
(As the 3 Matildas were going at full speed a shell suddenly burst out of the castle wall and hit the last matilda white flagging it. Then Miho shot a shell and white flagged the second Matilda among the confusion)
"Alright the last one is headed your way Koume-san!"
"Roger that Miho-san!"
(When the matilda turned the corner it was blocked by 3 panthers and with a well placed shot the matilda got white flagged)
[Team King - Inner Castle Areas - West Side]
"Fuuki Iinchou! This is Duck Team! We are being chased by 4 crabs!"
"Roger that Duck Team we are right behind them!" Sodoko said
(The 4 Crusaders are now pinned between Duck and Mallard Team. Duck team shot a round at them but was dodged then Mallard shot and was able to white flag the last Crusader. Unfortunately the crusader stopped in front of Mallard Team and blocked them from continuing the chase)
"Duck Team! We got blocked back here unable to assist!" Sodoko radioed
"Got it! Thank you! Kaichou we are bringing them to our reliable friend!" Noriko said
"We will be waiting here Duck Team!" Anzu said
"This Type 89B is blocking our path! We need to find that Maus ASAP-desu wa!" Rosehip said
(As the Duck Team leads the last 3 Crusaders towards Turtle Team. Both Erika and Gero now have arrived at the Courtyard of the castle only to see a terrifying sight)
[Team King - Courtyard]
"H-How could this happen?" Erika said
"No...way...all of these tanks..in such a short time…"
(Erika and Gero are now looking at the courtyard where all tanks are white flagged and destroyed. The 2 panthers and 2 panzer IIIs that was sent as support where also destroyed but by who they were thinking)
"Who could've done this?!"
"Itsumi-san! There in the middle of the courtyard!" Gero pointed
(Erika looked in that direction to see a familiar white BT-42 with its barrel smoking and now staring at them as they enter the courtyard. Erika remembered what Nishi said about them being ambushed and wiped out by a single tank of Jatkosota)
"I see..so it was you! MIKA!" Erika shouted
"Is that the same BT-42 in your previous match Itsumi-san?"
"Yeah..it's also the one that wiped out Nishi-san's team!"
"So that tank is responsible..that irregular tank.."
[Team King - Inner Castle Areas - West Side]
"Kaichou! We have arrived!" Noriko said
"Alright let's go Koyama!" Anzu said
"Copy that!"
(Turtle Team's tanks sped up in the direction of Duck Team and the Crusaders)
"Alright here we go Momo-chan!"
"Fire!"
(A shot was fired by the hetzer then suddenly Duck Team made a sharp right turn and the crusader behind her not being able to dodge quickly enough got instantly white flagged. Last 2 crusaders are still on their top speed on the way to the hetzer)
"Looks like they're going to ram us Cranberry! Stay behind me and we will push that hetzer together-desu wa!" Rosehip said
(The two crusaders now stuck together and sped up straight at the hetzer)
"Hold...hold it... now Chovy!" Anzu said
"Fuoco!" Anchovy said (Fire)
(The P40 shot its 75mm canon straight into the second Crusader white flagging it. Rosehip was so surprised she looked behind her and she didn't notice the hetzer suddenly stopped in front of them)
"Full brakes Koyama!"
(Koyama quickly stepped on the brakes in front of the crusader and the hetzer made a deep ducking dive motion and sent the crusader flying so high in the air behind them)
"Ohhh she's flying!" Anzu said
"W-W-What the heck! Where flying-desu wa!" Rosehip shouted in panic
(The crusader landed in a whole inside the castle and fortunately it survived but destroyed their tracks)
"Ughh..that hurt..quickly repair the tracks-desu wa! Where are we anyways?"
(Rosehip and her crew exited their tank to have a look around)
"Some kind of underground room? It's so dark I can't see anything-desu wa.."
(Suddenly the lights turned on and they saw chains and jail cells all around them)
*RUMBLE *TREMORS *GROUND SHAKES
"Ara what's that noise?"
(Rosehip looked at one of the cells opening and saw the Maus coming out of it)
"U-Uhmm...looks like the Maus found us-desu wa" Rosehip said while staring at the big beast
"Welcome..to the Hypogeum.." said the maus commander via speakers
"H-Hypo- what-desu wa?" Rosehip had a big question mark on her head
"It means underground alright?!" the Maus commander shouted
"Maus-chan! They were bullying us!" Noriko said from atop the hole
"Shut up light tank! Don't think I've forgiven you from what you all did to my Maus!" shouted the Maus commander
"But were a medium tank not a light tank!" Akebi said
"FIRE!"
(A loud shot was heard from the Maus' 128mm and instantly white flagged the last remaining crusader)
[Team King - Courtyard]
"Looks like the main protagonist has arrived Mika" Aki said
"Let's go.." Mika said
*Mika plays Säkkijärven Polkka
"Let's go.." Mika said while playing
(The BT-42 quickly dashed towards Gero and Erika. Both of them moved forward as well and all three of them were now going around the courtyard chasing each other)
"Round up!"
"Fire!"
(The shell missed as the BT-42 drifted to the right and fired its gun but it bounced off the tiger's armor)
"Damn she's good! If this wasn't a tiger we'd be out!"
"Bakatora! Don't let your guard down! This one isn't like the rest!" Erika said
(The Panzer IV fired a shell and was dodged by the BT-42 then it returned fire hitting the Panzer IVs side skirts)
"Damn! How can she move like that in this condition!?"
"Round up!"
"Fire!"
(As Gero clicked the trigger the BT-42 in his gun sights suddenly reversed and the shot missed. While the BT-42 shot at its side armor making the tiger spin out of control and hit a wall)
"Shit! Ken we gotta move fast it's aiming at us!"
(Just as the BT-42 shot it was suddenly rammed by Erika's Panzer IV making it flip over and lose its tracks. At the same time Gero was already aiming for the BT-42 when it landed)
"Fire!"
"It's not going to be that easy!" Mikko shouted
(Suddenly the BT-42's wheels spun and it started to move even faster than before)
"Haaa?! Without tracks?!" Erika shouted
"A tank without tracks..can't get any weirder than that..can it?"
"Not the time to be admiring Gero!" Ono shouted
"That move she made a while ago..was it like ours Matsu-kun?"
"Yeah..she can do it as well..this is getting fun!"
(The White Tiger was able to move again and chased again the BT-42 with Erika. But Erika's Panzer IV was suddenly shot at the tracks and spun into a wall)
"Itsumi-san! Are you alright!?"
"Yeah..Bakatora-"
(Erika suddenly froze when she saw the BT-42 aiming at her and a flash was seen at its muzzle and the shell heading towards her. Erika thought that it was over and that she was going to be white flagged)
"FIRE!"
(The 88mm shell came flying across the rain and hit the BT-42's shell mid air shocking both Erika and Mika. Everything was in slow motion in their perspectives and couldn't believe what Gero had just done)
"Round up!"
"FIRE!"
(The Tiger shot again but the BT-42 regained composure and dodged out of the way moving to the other end of the courtyard. Gero parked beside Erika's Panzer to check out her condition)
"Are you alright Itsumi-san?"
"Y-Yeah..but wait..Bakatora did you just actually shot the shell midair!?"
"I guess I did.."
"But how-"
"Not now..are you able to move?"
"Tracks are busted can only support you by shooting at her.."
"Alright, that's good enough..I have a plan Itsumi-san.."
"I'm listening.."
(The crew of the BT-42 were still surprised of that midair shell hit)
"Did you see that Aki?! That Tiger shot your shell in mid air?! How cool is that!?" Mikko said
"Yes yes very cool indeed so what now Mika?"
"We have to settle with that Tiger first before we can cut the head of the snake" said Mika
"Just point the direction and I'll follow" Mikko said
(Mika will now duel with Gero before proceeding to eliminating Erika)
"Will that even work? I mean-" Erika said
"It will..trust me Itsumi-san.." Gero said giving Erika a smile
"O-Ok let's do it then" Erika said breaking eye contact
"Damn this Bakatora trying to look cool at a time like this.." Erika thought while blushing
(Both the BT-42 and White Tiger where now revving up their engines. Then a sound of thunder echoed in the castle signaling both of them to advance at the same time. Both moving at high speeds and maneuvers while Erika is shooting from a distance)
"Mikko go behind it"
"You got it!"
"Aki aim for the tracks! Now!" Mika said
"On the way!" Aki shouted
(The 114mm shell traveled in high speed and velocity hitting the tiger's tracks and slowing it down. The BT-42 now adjusted itself for another shot at the Tiger's rear armor since it cannot dodge anymore)
"..Tulta!.."
"FIRE!"
"A blank round?!" Mika said
(The tiger suddenly shot to it's 9 o'clock direction forcing its main body to move to the right instantly with the help of the wet floor and the force of the blank round. The shell of the BT-42 missed its target completely. Mika was not expecting this move and wasn't able to react quick enough.)
"Now Ken!"
(The Tiger suddenly decelerated in an instant and now Gero who is still aiming at the same direction saw the BT-42 enter his gun sights in slow motion)
"End it Matsu-kun!"
Round up!
"FIRE!"
(The 88mm shell impacted the BT-42s side tracks and it spun uncontrollably and hit a wall. As Mika recovered from the shock she saw Erika's Panzer IV aiming at them. Mika just smiled and let out a big sigh)
"For Nishi-san, FEUER!" said Erika
"..Hyvin pelattu.." Mika said (Well played)
(The 75mm shell of Erika's Panzer IV penetrated the BT-42's rear armor and exploded. A white flag was seen through the smoke signaling its elimination. Erika exited her tank and looked at Gero who was on his tank. Gero saw Erika and he smiled with a thumbs up at her. Erika smiled and waved back. Mika and her crew exited the BT-42 and approached Gero)
"Are you the commander of this tank?" Mika asked
"Yes..I'm Gero..nice to meet you irregular!" Gero said with a smile
"Irregular? I'd say your tiger is pretty Irregular as well!" Aki said
"That was a nice fight Gero-san!" Mikko said
(Mika was staring at Gero for some reason as she recognizes him more. She was thinking hard and remembered who he was. Gero noticed this and asked her if everything was alright)
"Is everything alright miss?"
"My name is Mika..do you not remember me?"
"Do you know him Mika?" Aki asked
"I believe this is the first time we met Mika-san..I did watch your match last-"
*HUG
(Mika suddenly jumped and hugged Gero which surprised him and didn't know what to do. Erika saw this of course and got angry at him for flirting again)
"Uhmm..Mika-san?"
"I knew that the wind would let us meet again..Ro-chan.." Mika said as she buried her face on Gero's chest
"Come again? R-Ro-chan..? "
"Don't bother trying to understand what our commander says, we don't understand her sometimes as well.." Mikko said with a smile
"Ba-ka-to-raaaa~" a scary voice called out to them
(All of them looked except for MIka who is still hugging Gero and they saw a very angry white wolf ready to bite Gero's head off)
"I-I-Itsumi-san..this isn't what it looks like..she j-just suddenly-"
"I don't want to hear any excuses! And you! How long are you gonna keep sticking to him you fox!" Erika shouted
(Miho and Maho arrived to the courtyard only to see Gero sitting in Seiza again and Erika shouting at Mika but is completely being ignored. Both of them smiled as they see the rain finally stopped and the night raid has finally ended)
[Team King - Improvised Bathing Rooms - 13 Hours Left ]
(The girls bathed again because they got drenched in the rain again and they also invited Mika and the others to bathe with them as they wait for the cease fire before they leave)
"Woooow...this just hits the spot…" Mikko said
"Thank you for inviting us here wolf-san" Aki said
"Who the hell are you calling wolf-san?!" Erika shouted
"Ahaha scary scary.."
"This is a fine idea you have for an improvised bath-desu wa" Rosehip said
"It's actually the boys that did this for us so we really owe it to them.." Maho said
"I see..I'll make sure that Darjeeling-sama knows what you have done for us tonight and we will repay you someday-desu wa.."
"We never expected you guys to attack at night and under the rain..you really caught us off guard there!" Koume said
"It was Darjeeling-sama that thought of it so all credit goes to her-desu wa"
"But how did you guys get so close without us hearing your engines?" Miho asked
"Ohh that..we used those blankets that Saunders lent us..they said they were sound proof blankets or something.." Mikko said
"Leave it to Saunders to have everything.." Erika said
"I'd say the real MVP tonight is Mika-san over there.." Erwin said
"We were totally outplayed and you even got our heavy tanks!" Azusa said
"The wind just blew in our favor that's all.." Mika said while playing her Kantele
"But in the end that White Tiger got us good..just where did you find that guy?" Aki said
"He's really something right?"
"Yeah..interesting enough for our commander to hug him.." Mikko said
"The last time I saw Mika hug anyone was Miho-san when we fought each other in the past." said Aki
"Ohh I remember that!"
"I just felt that Ro-chan is loved by the wind, that's why he was able to change the flow of the battle" Mika said
"Why do you keep calling him Ro-chan?!" Erika said
"Why do you keep calling him Bakatora then?" Mika asked back
(Sparks were flying and electricty was clashing between the eyes of Erika and Mika)
"I'd say the wind isn't the only one that loves Gero-kun.." Maho said looking at Erika
"Ehh?.." Erika got confused
(Suddenly everyone in the room looked at Erika. Some had a confused look, some were surprised. And some had a teasing grin on their face. Erika started to blush red at the pressure she was feeling from the eyes of everyone)
"But I might be wrong..or am I?" Maho said with a smile
"I-I-I DEFINITELY DO NOT…!" Erika shouted
"Not yet..?" Maho said
"MAHO-SAN PLEASE STOP!" Erika shouted while embarrassed
(The girls laughed at each other and relaxed after a hard fought battle and it is almost time for the cease fire. The others proceeded to the radio room as requested by Rosehip so that she could inform her commander of their status)
[Team King - Radio Room]
(As the girls entered the radio room they saw Gero and Hajime had just finished using it)
"Ohh Gero-kun what brings you here?" Maho asked
"Maho-san..Hajime just radioed our scout to return to the castle since it's almost time for the cease fire"
"I just accompanied Taichou here because he has no idea how to work a radio so.." Hajime said
"You didn't have to say that! By the way what brings you girls here?"
"Ohh Rosehip-san asked to use our radio to contact there commander"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rose-"
(Rosehip stopped talking suddenly when she saw Gero and her vision quickly transitioned to a Prince Charming riding a white tiger calling out her name and inviting her to his castle. Without a second's notice Rosehip suddenly jumped towards Gero)
"My...Ōji !…" Rosehip said (Prince)
"Ehh? Ōji?"
"My Ōji-sama-desu waaaaaa!" Rosehip yelled as she was jumping
(Mere seconds away from hugging her prince, Rosehip was suddenly pulled away by Erika by the collar saving Gero from a very awkward situation that will most likely lead to him sitting in seiza again)
"What the hell do you think you're doing you red Tanuki..!?" Erika yelled
"Don't stop me...Just one hug and a kiss please!" Rosehip was saying while still trying to hug Gero
[Team King - Radio Room - 5 minutes later]
"Ehem..I'm name is Rosehip..top speedster of St. Gloriana Girls College-desu wa!"
"Nice to meet you Rosehip-san, my name is Gero Matsumoto"
"The pleasure is all mine-desu wa..I would like to use your radio to contact my commander.."
"Sure thing..it's all yours"
(After contacting her commander and informing her of the situation, Rosehip returned to the group to say their farewell)
"Thank you for letting me use your radio..my commander told me to inform you that in return for the hospitality you have given us they will commence their attack by 9AM tomorrow so that both teams would be able to have a good long rest and a peaceful breakfast before the fight.." Rosehip said
"That's very nice of Darjeeling..knowing her she can be trusted with what she said.." Maho said
"Of course..a lady never breaks her promise.." Rosehip said proudly
"Lady, huh..a very devious lady to be exact.." Erika said
"Itsumi-san that's rude.."
"Shut up Bakatora!"
"Well then..we will be taking our leave now since it is already almost midnight and the cease fire is about to commence..thank you again everyone for the kindness you have shown us.."
(Rosehip and the other girls from St. Gloriana bowed as a show of respect to them then they were escorted by the staff along with their tanks to the safe zone outside of the field)
[Team Queen - Command Post]
"How did your plan go?" Kay asked
"Rosehip said 8 tanks were destroyed and 2 heavy tanks except for the Maus were detroyed a total of 10" Darjeeling said
"Wow..you really made them lose 10 lives.." Kay said
"That wasn't the 10 lives I was talking about.." Darjeeling replied
"Ehh? It wasn't?"
"Nope..but the results were great with this operation.."
"Then why are you in a bad mood?"
"Because Rosehip wouldn't stop talking about how handsome the commander of the White Tiger was and I'm really getting irritated that I am the only one that hasn't seen him!"
"Has Katyusha seen my Darling?"
"Yes apparently she saw him in their previous match with you she said!"
"Ahahaha! My darling is very handsome I tell you!" Kay said
'That is not making me happy one bit!" Darjeeling yelled
[Team King - Gate Entrance]
"Attention! The cease fire will begin in 5 minutes! Do as you want, you may sleep, eat, or take a bath! You all have earned it! Rest up and relax! That's an order!" Erika shouted
"JAWOHL!" Everyone shouted in response
(Everyone now dispersed and went to do their own thing as they were ordered. Gero, Miho and Maho went to escort Mika and her crew to the gate)
"We will be leaving now as well!" Mikko said
"Thank you for the match and the bath!" Aki said
"You're welcome! Be sure to watch us alright?" Miho said
"You bet we will!"
"Thank you for the match Mika-san..we had fun!"
"Me too..it was very fun..bye bye Ro-chan" Mika smiled
"Isn't that cute..she called you Ro-chan.." Miho said with a smile teasing Gero
"Ahaha..why do people keep giving me nicknames.." Gero had a sweat drop on his head
"By the way Maho-san.." Mika said
"Hmmm?"
"A little advice..supplies aren't the only things that can be stolen.." Mika said as she left
(After Mika said those words, a red flare was seen launching into the sky, signaling the beginning of the cease fire. To others it was a big sigh of relief that they will be able to relax and have a good night's sleep. Amidst all the celebration, Maho was standing still thinking about what Mika had said. Then it struck her that Darjeeling has not yet used their team's perk which is 'Steal')
[Tournament Stadium]
"There you have it folks! The ceasefire has officially started! What an amazing first 12 hours it has been! So much action and amazing commanding skills! Team King has 15 Tanks remaining while Team Queen has 17 tanks remaining! Both still have their perks and a lot more surprises for us!" said the announcer
"The battle will begin again tomorrow at 6AM! Those that have decided to stay and sleep here, we have provided necessary camping equipment that you can rent for the night!"
"That will be all! Goodnight everyone! See you all again tomorrow! Thank you very much!"
[Viewing Platform #1 for VIPs]
"Did that BT-42 just use Spontaneous Deceleration just like Gero-kun?" Chouno asked
"From the looks of it I guess it did.." Shiho responded
"Didn't know that school had someone that can do that kind of move.."
"If you'll excuse me Chouno-kun, I better leave now before an old lady sees me." Shiho said
"Will you watch tomorrow?"
"Of course, it is a mother's duty to support her children"
(As Shiho left the area, Chouno could only smile to see that the Headmistress of the Kuromorimine known to be fearsome and merciless was a also doting and caring parent)
"Well then, I better get myself a tent before they run out.." Chouno said
[Viewing Platform #2 for VIPs]
"Looks like nii-chan and nee-chan had fun, I wish I could have joined them.." a little girl hugging a Boko bear said
"Time to get home Alice it's getting late!" a woman in a fancy red dress said
"Yes Okaa-sama!"
