Chapter 62 - Unbreakable
[Ooarai Viewing Platform]
"Gero-dono is completely trapped inside the island! This is bad, we need to stop the match right now!"
"Onii-chan.."
"I can't contact the security room!" Rin said
"Damn! They cut our communication lines?!" Shizuka said
[Saunders Viewing Platform]
"M4 Shermans and T-34s..so those are the tanks that took us out huh.." Naomi said
"It's the same as ours..but how can they accurately hit even through the cover of smoke?!" Alisa reacted
"But it doesn't make sense..they're only targeting Gero-kun.." Naomi said
"Maybe they're trying to take him out first because he's the biggest threat in Kuromorimine?" Alisa asked
"But before the fighting started they had a perfect shot on their commander's Panzer IV..and yet they still shot at the White Tiger..they could've ended the match there without having to face him.."
[St. Gloriana Viewing Platform]
"Oh no! My prince is trapped!" Rosehip reacted
"Why did Gero-kun destroy the bridge?! He should've crossed before he destroyed it! That would've left all of Crows Nest's forces isolated there!" Pekoe said
"No..that was the best move he could've done in this situation.." Assam said
"How can that be the best move Assam-sama?!" Rosehip reacted
"Somebody in Crows Nest is trying to kill Gero-kun right now, it's even possible that the whole team is involved..he trapped them in that island with him so that nobody else would get involved.." Assam said in her thoughts
(Rosehip and Pekoe could see Assam clench her fists in anger. Not because of the people trying to kill Gero but because she felt so powerless right now and she wanted to help but couldn't)
[Jatkosota Viewing Platform]
"We've got to do something!" Mikko shouted
"Mika! What do we do? At this rate Gero-san won't last long!" Aki said
"I know! Okaa-sama informed me that our team is on their way here..all we can do is wait!" Mika said
"But still!" Aki said
"If we go in there we'll just be in the way of Ro-chan! You know very well that I myself want to go in there more than anyone else! I'm sure Eri-chan is doing all in her power to get to him as well!" Mika shouted
"Mika.."
[Pravda Viewing Platform]
"Are we still unable to contact the security room?!" Nonna asked
"Da, the lines appear to have been cut.." Klara said
"Should we just head there ourselves? No..it's too risky.." Nonna was in deep thought
"What's happening Nonna?" Klara asked
"Our comrades' lives are in danger.." Nonna said
[Shogun Viewing Platform]
"Commander! This is ridiculous! Crows Nest has obviously committed acts of intentionally endangering their opponents!" Shinji said
"Yeah..blowing that bridge and focusing all fire on one tank is too dangerous and could cause fatalities.." Akane said
"What the hell is the security team doing!?" Shinji asked
"Still no connection sir!"
"Screw this! We're going there ourselves!" Akane ordered
(Akane then stood up and just as he was about to open the door the lights suddenly got turned off and doors were locked. The doors of the viewing platforms were mechanically locked so it was possible to lock the people inside via computer)
"It's locked?!" Akane said
"It won't budge!" Shinji said as he was pulling the doorknob
[Seven Seats of Senshado Viewing Platform]
(Every room was locked and it was the same for the Seven Seat's room)
"HEY OPEN THE DOOR! LET US OUT!" Katyusha shouted
"They've locked us in!" Asparagus said
"What's happening?!" Kaede reacted
"This is bad! Very bad! They've started to make a second move!" Kay said
"Who's making a move?!" Oowada asked
"Can't explain right now! Help us find a way out of here!" Takashi shouted
(As Takashi, Kal, and Oowada tries to break the door down with force Maho and Darjeeling notices the expression on Kaede's face which was fear and confusion)
"What's with that reaction? Does this mean they're not behind all of this?" Maho said in her thoughts
"Either she's a good actor or we're dealing with a whole other level of enemies.." Darjeeling said in her thoughts
[Viewing Platform #1 for VIPs]
(It was the same for Shiho, Chiyo and Mai they couldn't get out and couldn't contact anyone from inside their room)
"Try your cell phones!" Shiho said
"No signal! They've blocked any means of communication!" Chiyo said
"Care to explain what's happening?!" Mai said
"SOME ORGANIZATION IS TRYING TO KILL MY SON THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING!" Shiho shouted
"W-What..?" Mai was shocked
"THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!" Shiho shouted again
[Center Island - Inside the Smokescreen]
"Good day to everyone! Can you all hear me?"
"What the hell? Open comms? He dares to mock me?!" Kenji was enraged
"Thank you for coming here..and where is 'here' you might ask?"
"W-What the hell is that..?" Sudou pointed in the smoke
"Ghosts of Crows Nest.."
(Gero gave a smile filled with confidence and his eyes glowing inside the smokescreen. And everyone in Crows Nest could see those glowing eyes and it struck fear into them)
"Jigoku e yōkoso.."
[Welcome to hell..]
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Kenji shouted
*BOOM *BOOM *BOOM *BOOM
(Kenji's position was still being bombarded by Kuromorimine giving Gero and his crew some time to talk about the plan)
"Alright Erika's bombardment is giving us some cover..what we're going to do now is douse ourselves with water first.."
"Why?!" Ono asked
"Because it's going to get hot as fuck in this island soon..we need to keep ouselves cooled down..this is the only way to blind them.."
"Alright..after that?" Hajime asked
"Once they're blinded we target the snipers first..that'll be your job Hajime..mow them down with the rubber bullets of the MG-34.."
"Jawohl!"
"Once the anti tank rifles are gone will look for the heavy hitters then take them out first before the Shermans and the T-34s.."
"Roger!"
"Use your handkerchiefs as a face mask as well if you have them..this is going to get ugly for everyone on the island..wear your goggles also.."
(Gero and his crew now got off their tank and went to the river with buckets. Filled them with water then doused themselves as ordered. They each got a full bucket of water and poured it all over the white tiger's engine to cool it down even if just for a little bit)
"Hajime..patch me through to our team!"
(Hajime then turned on their radio again)
"Leila-san? Can you hear me?"
"Hajime-kun?! Are you alright!?" Leila was worried
"Yes I'm fine Leila-san..I'm sorry to make you worry.."
"What about Ono-senpai?!" Sheska shouted
"I'm alright as well Sheska.." Ono said
"Gero?! Gero?!" Erika shouted
"Thanks for the fire support Erika..you saved us.."
"I'm just glad you're alright..what's happening over there?!"
"You'll find out soon enough! For now I'm gonna need you to stop the bombardment!"
"What?! But then you'll get-"
"Please Erika! We don't have enough time!"
"I understand.."
"When you see the signal..that means I'll be keeping Crows Nest's attention on me..we'll do our best here..so you all need to find a way to us..ok?"
"Eh? What are you.."
"I'm saying I'll be waiting for you Erika..I don't plan on dying today..the longest I can give you is seven minutes..see you soon..Fang Leader out.."
(Hajime once again turned off their radio)
"You heard him! Seven minutes! We need to cross this river in seven minutes!" Erika shouted
"Kommandant! Go to the north side! I found a possible way!" Toshi radioed
"Really?! Alright we'll be heading there now! All tanks move out!" Erika shouted
(Back at the island Crows Nest finally received a breather since Kuromorimine halted their bombardment)
"Status?!" Kenji shouted
"One Sherman and the Stuart got white flagged..the rest are still operational.." Sudou said
"Alright..let's see where the heck is that tiger.."
(As Kenji took a look through his binoculars which also had a thermal function saw that the White Tiger was suddenly dashing towards him at full speed with Gero on top of the cupola with glowing eyes giving Kenji a fright)
"All tanks open fire again!" Kenji ordered
"Nishizumi Style: Hunter's Domain.."
(s Gero muttered those words the whole island was filled with intense killing intent which was coming from Gero. Everyone from Crows Nest felt like they were about to be killed and all of them saw short visions of them dying rendering them immobile and paralyzed with fear)
"W-What the hell is happening!?" Kenji was in fear
"I-I don't want to die..Nii-san!" Sudou was shaking in fear
"Now's our chance! Ken speed it up!"
"Aye aye!"
(The White tiger suddenly entered the woods where Crows Nest was hiding and they drove all over them in circles. They weren't shooting but just driving and bumping into them sending impulses of fear)
"DAMN YOU!" Kenji shouted
(In an attempt to recover from the killing intent Kenji bit his lip and made it bleed. He did this in order to overlap the fear with pain. He then ordered his team to do the same and so they bit their lips and were able to move again even though they can still feel the killing intent)
"Ohh..interesting..you overcame fear with pain..very creative.."
"FIRE!" Kenji shouted
*BOOM *BOOM *BOOM *BOOM
(Once again the tanks and rifles of Crows Nest opened fire towards Gero's tank and they were getting hit again. Shell bouncing left and right while also being shaken up by the large caliber shell which they still don't know what kind of tank was coming from)
"This is the last rotation! Make sure to get the edges of the island as well Ken!"
"I'm on it!" Ken said while maneuvering their tank away from the explosions
(Ken then drove their tank across the island and on the edges as well. Kenji was at a loss to what their intentions were until one of his crew members asked something)
"Does anybody smell that?" his driver asked
"Smell what?" the loader said
(When Kenji took a whiff of the scent his crew was asking about he immediately knew what it was and fear struck him once more)
"It's gasoline! It was his plan all along!" Kenji shouted
(When Kenji looked through thermal binoculars again he saw Gero standing on top of the white tiger and the rest of his crew was peeking through their hatches. All of them were holding hand flares and they lit the flares at the same time. Kenji knew what was about to happen next)
"EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE FOREST NOW!" Kenji shouted
"Let the fun begin.."
(Gero and his crew dropped the flares on the ground and the gasoline caught on fire. The reason why they were going around the island was because they were dousing the grass with gasoline along with the trees. The fire spread so fast all over the island and into the trees. Everyone in the audience was shocked to the events and couldn't believe what was happening)
[Seven Seats of Senshado Viewing Platform]
"The island is on fire?!" Kay shouted
"Why would Whitey do that?!" Anchovy asked
"It's camouflage.." Asparagus said
"How the heck can fire become camouflage?!" Katyusha asked
"I get it now! The reason why Crows Nest could hit accurately even through smoke!" Darjeeling said
"How?!" Kaede asked
"Thermal sights..if my guess is right they installed thermal scopes into their tanks which would enable them to see through smoke via detecting the heat from the tanks.." Maho said
"I see! So Tiger-kun lit the whole place up so they can't see shit!" Takashi smiled
(They were right with Gero's plan. The flames were messing with their thermal sights with all the heat signatures around them. All of Crows Nest tanks started going out in the open because the forest was on fire. Gero could see them exiting one by one)
"Look at that! Our ghosts have finally shown themselves!"
"You were right Taichou..Shermans and T-34s..and..w-what is that!?" Hajime shouted
"Matsu-kun..what the heck is that tank?!"
(Before the crew of the White Tiger appeared five frightening tanks of the Eastern Front during WWII. Aiming at them were SU-152s ready to blow apart their tank with their powerful 152mm shells)
"SU-152s..no wonder they were able to take out Ray's Super Pershing easily.."
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NOT FIRING?!" Kenji shouted
"We can't see anything! The flames are blocking our visions!" said a T-34 gunner
"The sniper teams are having trouble because of the smoke!" Sudou shouted
"I DON'T CARE! SHOOT EVERYTHING YOU GOT ON THAT BASTARD!" Kenji shouted
*BANG *BANG *BANG *BANG
(A volley of shells were fired by Crows Nest but to no avail because all of them were off target. Their accuracy disappeared without the use of their thermal optics)
"LET'S FUCKING GO!"
"YEEAAAH!" Gero's crew shouted
(Gero now taking advantage of the situation headed for the direction of the snipers that were using the anti tank rifles)
"H-How do they know where we are hiding?!" shouted a Crows Nest sniper
"I can sense your fears from a mile away!"
(While Gero's skill, Hunter's Domain is active he can see anyone hiding in its area of effect by detecting their fears from the killing intent he is constantly releasing)
"Hajime mow them down!"
"Firing!" Hajime shouted
*MACHINE GUN FIRE
(The snipers got riddled with rubber bullets from Hajime MG-34. But with Hajime's accurate bursts the only parts of their bodies that were hit were their arms and hands forcing them to drop their anti tank rifles. Gero then got down from his tank and talked with the snipers of Crows Nest)
"If you don't want to get burned alive then run away from here and head for the bridge! You'll be safe there!"
(The members of Crows Nest did not know how to react to the kindness Gero is showing for his enemies. They just nodded in agreement and started to run off in the direction Gero pointed. Gero picked up 2 of their their dropped anti tank rifles which were Russian PTRD-41 14.5mm ATR with thermal optics. He picked up the magazines from the other rifles and placed them in their tank)
"Alright Ken go to the next batch of snipers!"
"On the way!" Ken said
"We have to take out the snipers first! Then send them to the safe side of the island!"
"Once they're safe we'll take out those SU-152s!" Ono smiled
(One by one the snipers of Crows Nest fell by the White Tiger crew and a total of 40 snipers were sent to the safe side of the island)
"Is that all of them Taichou?" Hajime asked
"Yeah..all that's left are the tanks.."
"Understood..switching my ammo to Armor Piercing Tracer Rounds!" Hajime said loading his MG-34
(Those APTRs or Armor Piercing Tracer Rounds are ammo specifically made for the bow gunners of the tournament and were approved by the Federation. The bullets can't penetrate the tanks' armor that much but it can do serious damage when shot at close quarters at a tanks engine)
"Nii-san! All the snipers have been taken out!" Sudou reported
"What the heck are they doing?! No matter..we'll handle them ourselves!" Kenji shouted
(Kenji then noticed a change in direction of the smoke and saw that the White Tiger was now charging straight at his SU-152)
"FIRE!" Kenji shouted
*BANG *BANG *BANG
(Again a barrage of 75mm shells and 152mm shells were fired at the White Tiger and all of the 75mm shells just missed and bounced off. Luckily a 152mm shell just barely grazed the side turret of their tank before impacting behind their Tiger)
"T-That was close.." Ken said
"Even with their eyes taken they can still manage to land hits like that..damn they are skilled.." Hajime said
"On my mark! Get ready Hajime and Ono!"
(When their white tiger was about 100 meters away from the SU-152s Kenji saw that Gero and Ono went out of the tank's hatches and where aiming their own anti tank rifles at them)
"What?!" Kenji said
"NOW! FIRE!"
*BANG *BANG *MACHINE GUN FIRE
(The first SU-152 got hit at their right tracks with two anti tank rounds and destroyed their tanks completely. Then Hajime's armor piercing rounds were hitting the tank's hull the whole time. It wasn't penetrating but the tracer rounds were giving them a spook. Now that the SU-152 was unable to move Ken easily drifted behind the SU-152 and Gero took aim)
"Round up!" Ono shouted
"FIRE!"
*BANG *BOOM
(The 88mm shell penetrated the thin rear armor of the SU-152 and white flagged it. Ken then moved their Tiger again and disappeared with in the fire and smoke)
"That's one down! Four more!"
"Going for the second SU-152!" Ken shouted
"Alright..with all the smoke and fire we're completely invisible! So drive as much as you want Ken!"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ken smiled
(All of Crows Nest were afraid of waiting for the appearance of the White Tiger. It was like waiting for death to come out of hell with all the flames and smoke. Before they could react the second SU-152 was already under fire from Hajime's MG-34 and again the tracks were shot clean off by Ono and Gero's anti tank rifle)
"Here's the second one!" Ken shouted
"Round up!"
"FIRE!"
*BANG *BOOM
(A white flag popped on the SU-152 from the shot but just right after the white flag appeared Gero once again felt the intense killing intent from Kenji. Gero then noticed that Kenji and Sudou's SU-152 were already aiming at them)
"KEN REVERSE NOW!"
"FIRE!" Kenji shouted
*BANG *BANG *BOOM
(Both 152mm shells came at very high speeds towards the white tiger but just in time it was able to reverse but the shells hit the tip of their gun barrel destroying the muzzle. Meaning they can no longer use their gun, again)
"WHY DOES OUR GUN BARREL ALWAYS GETS DESTROYED?!"
"Chief is going to tear us a new one again.." Ono said
"What now Taichou? Without our gun it's basically impossible now to fight back with MGs and Anti tank rifles.." Hajime said
"What are you saying?! No gun?! No Problem!"
"But still..how were they able to get an accurate shot on us even though we blocked their optics?" Ken asked
"My guess is..those SU-152s that shot at us didn't have Thermal Optics installed on theirs..call it a counter to my plan..those last SU-152s must be the commander and vice commander.."
"They really thought about how they're gonna kill you huh?" Ono said
"But they can't kill us..right boys?"
"YEAH!" his crew said
(Kenji and Sudou now regrouped with their forces and was now trying to think of a plan)
"Their gun barrel is now destroyed..we can now kill them easily!" Kenji said
"Why do you keep saying that you'll kill him?! Are you seriously going to commit murder?!" Sudou said
"SHUT UP! I TOLD YOU HE DESERVES TO DIE FOR-"
(They're argument was halted when they both felt an intense pressure coming right at them through the smoke)
"They have no way of fighting back! Are they crazy?!" Kenji said
"A piece of advice to you..commander of Crows Nest.."
"No way..don't tell me they plan to.." Sudou reacted
(And there it was the fearsome white tiger with Gero standing out of his cupola holding the PTRD-41 Anti tank Rifle like a boss and Ono beside him holding the 88mm shell with both hands)
"Never wound...what you can't kill.." Gero said with a big grin on his face
*MACHINE GUN FIRE *BANG
(Again the third SU-152 was immobile after it's tracks got shot off by Gero then Ken drifted behind the SU-152)
"Now Ono!"
"Round up!" Ono shouted
(Instead of Ono loading the shell to their cannon he then threw the 88mm shell with all his strength on top of the rear armor of the SU-152. Gero then took aim at it and shot the shell)
"FIRE!"
*BANG *BOOM
(The 88mm shell got shot with the 14.5mm anti tank rifle round and it exploded on top of the SU-152 white flagging it in a brilliant way)
"Alright it worked! On to the Shermans and T-34s!"
"But there are still two SU-152s!" Ken shouted
"Those two that are left are not blinded by the flames..they can see us if we charge at them and it'll be over if they get a clean shot!"
"So we'll aim for the other tanks that are still blinded?" Hajime asked
"That's right! Close your Hatch Hajime before pieces of metal start falling inside on top of you!"
"Roger! Closing it now- aarghh!" Hajime shouted in pain
"Hajime?! What happened?!"
"I-I burned my hands..the hatch was too freaking hot from all the flame..I'm fine..I can still man the MG.."
"Ok then..Ono hand him the bucket of water..deep your hands here to cool them off.."
"Thanks Taichou.."
"The first Sherman is dead ahead!" Ken shouted
(Gero again got out of his cupola, aimed the anti tank rifle, and gave everyone watching his best smile while his eyes were still glowing golden yellow from the Sacred Possession)
"Round up!"
"FIRE!"
*BANG *BOOM
(The 88mm was shot by Gero again and it exploded on top of the rear armor of the sherman and white flagged it. Then they moved to the next tank which was a T-34 and they did the same and white flagged it then moved to the next)
"Commander we got white flagged!" shouted the Sherman commander
"They got us too!" shouted the T-34 commander
"W-What the hell..how are they able to still fight..compared to their state ago they're deadlier and a lot more fearsome..even when they lost their gun barrel.." Kenji reacted
"Commander! They're coming for us! They're going to ram-"
*CRASH *STATIC
(Just as the radio cut off the Sherman was rammed by the white tiger tilting it to its side then Gero and Ono aimed with their anti tank rifle and shot the engine while Hajime shot it with a ton or APTRs. The Sherman's engine caught on fire and a white flag popped on it)
"Ten more to go boys! Let's finish this!"
(Gero shouted with all his might and among the confusion of the battle Hajime accidentally turned on their radio. Everyone on their team and on Crow's Nest's team could hear all that was happening inside their white tiger. They can't hear the response of their team because it was still turned off. They could only send and not receive any transmission)
*BOOM *BANG *BANG *BOOM *CLANK
"I need more ammo! I need a new can of ammo!" Hajime shouted
"This is our last can! Make it count!" Ono shouted
"Damn it! Hydraulics are gone! Switching to manual steering!" Ken shouted
"SMARTER! FASTER! STRONGER! WE WON'T DIE TODAY! YOU HEAR ME BOYS!?"
"YEEAAAAHHH!" Gero's crew shouted
"Nii-chan!" Alice shouted
"Hajime-kun! Hajime-kun!" Leila was crying
"Ono-senpai! Can you hear me!?" Sheska was the same
"Hang on Gero! We're on our way! Just a little bit more!" Erika shouted
[Seven Seats of Senshado Viewing Platform]
(Everyone that was seeing the battle that the White Tiger was fighting found themselves both in awe and amazement. Before all of them now was Gero screaming at the top of his lungs as he fought to survive)
"Onii-sama!" Maho was starting to tear up
"Even in the face of death they still fight with everything they've got.." Asparagus said
"Come on Darling! You can do this!" Kay shouted
"What immeasurable strength..Gero-kun is amazing.." Katyusha said
"Even without a gun barrel they are still pushing Crows Nest to a corner.." Oowada said
"A wounded beast at the brink of death is the scariest and the most dangerous anyone could face.." Darjeeling said
*BOOM *BOOM *CLANK
(The White Tiger was still fighting their way through the enemy tanks around them but they couldn't maintain the momentum. Ammo was running low, fatigue was kicking in, all of their eyes were sore from all the smoke, they couldn't breathe properly, and their bodies felt heavy. The remaining tanks of Crows Nest were still ten and they were unable to lessen the numbers anymore)
"Gero..we only have one shell left.." Ono said as he desperately holds the shell with the last ounces of strength he has
"MG-34 is out of ammo Taichou.." Hajime said
"Matsu-kun..we barely have any fuel left..our fuel tanks must've gotten shot and were leaking at some point in the fight.." Ken said
"I guess..this is it boys.."
(The white tiger just stopped in the middle of the smoke while 75mm shells bounced off them in all directions. The white paint was slowly being scraped off and the armor was being chipped with every hit. The audience watching were also begging the white tiger to stop because they couldn't stand seeing them suffer like that)
"WHITE TIGER! PLEASE STOP!"
"DON'T FORCE YOURSELVES ANYMORE! YOU CAN TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR!"
"SO PLEASE STOP HURTING YOURSELVES LIKE THIS!"
"SOMEONE STOP THE MATCH! THIS IS TOO HORRIBLE TO WATCH!"
*THUNDER *LIGHTING *RAIN
(With all the smoke and heat that the island was emitting thunder clouds suddenly appeared on top of the field and rain started pouring down. Slowly the fires that Gero prepared were being put out by the rain and visibility started getting better for Crows Nest)
"Damn..even the weather wants to kill me..arrgh my head!"
(All of a sudden Gero felt immense pain in his head and it spread all throughout his body, Then the inner Gero spoke to him)
"Where on the five minute mark partner..you'll start to feel the backlash of the possession.." his inner self said
"That was a long five minutes..thanks partner for the update..this will be the last move.."
(Gero checks the last PTRD-41 they had and it only had one bullet left in the magazine)
"You still with me boys?"
"To the end!" his crew said
(The White tiger then sped up one last time and it was headed for one of the SU-152s in their last attempt to take out the commander tank)
"HIT OUR ARMOR AND WE'LL SHOOT YOU UP! DESTROY OUR GUN AND WE'LL RAM YOU DOWN! DESTROY OUR TRACKS AND WE'LL STILL HOLD OUR GROUND! WE ARE THE WHITE TIGER AND WE WILL NOT FALL!" Gero shouted with all his might
"FIRE!" Kenji shouted
*BANG *BANG *BANG
"IF I DIE THEN WHO'LL PROTECT THEM!? IF I DIE THEN WHO'LL FIGHT FOR THEM!? IF I DIE THEN I WON'T SEE HER SMILE AGAIN! I WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR HER VOICE AGAIN! I WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD HER AGAIN! THAT'S WHY I WON'T DIE! I REFUSE TO DIE!"
(As Gero screamed all he could think about was his friends, his comrades, his family, and finally Erika's smile. The White Tiger's armor was deflecting every shot with the little armor it still has left then Ken made a sharp turn to the right of the SU-152 dodging all shots and hid behind it)
"Hold your fire! You might hit the SU-152!" shouted a sherman tank commander
"Now Ken!"
(Ken then reversed at full speed and rammed the SU-152 with their rear armor and pushed it a couple of meters before Ono threw their last shell on its rear armor and Gero shot)
"FIRE!"
*BANG *BOOM
(The shell exploded and white flagged the fourth SU-152 but the match did not announce their win. The SU-152 that they got was Suduo's which was the vice commander's tank)
"I guess..it's a swing and miss.."
"ALL TANKS SHOOT NOW!" Kenji shouted
"We can't! His rear armor is being shielded by the Vice commander's tank!" shouted a Sherman commander
"Our shells won't penetrate his frontal and side armor no matter how many times we try!" shouted a T-34 commander
"DAMN IT! ALL OF YOU ARE USELESS!" Kenji shouted again
(Gero then felt again the killing intent from Kenji who was aiming at their white tiger)
"FIRE!" Kenji shouted
*BANG *BOOM
(The 152mm shell was shot from the SU-152 and as it was about to get a direct hit on the White Tiger Gero made a last move and rotated their tank's turret and pointed their destroyed gun barrel at the trajectory of the shell and it exploded before hitting the Tiger directly destroying completely their gun barrel)
"YOU BASTARD! WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!" Kenji shouted
(Ono was knocked unconscious from the blast and both their tank tracks were destroyed as well. Gero's head was bleeding again because a piece of shrapnel hit him after he shot their last shell)
"Radio's out of commission Taichou.." Hajime said
"M-Matsu-kun?"
"I'm here Ken.."
"I'm scared.." Ken whispered
"I'm scared too buddy.."
"I don't wanna die.." Ken said
(Ken's head was also bleeding because he hit his head on the steering wheel during their last ram on the fourth SU-152. Hajime was tying a bandage on Ken's head to stop the bleeding while his hands were still in pain from the burn)
"You're not gonna die Ken..hang on..you really can't pass out..not this time.." Hajime said
"S-Sorry..Hajime-kun..but t-that's..impossible.."
(As Ken said his last words with little energy he has left he lost consciousness right there in front of Gero and Ken)
"Ken! Ken! Damn you I said stay awake!" Hajime shouted
"I'm sorry boys..I got one last trick up my sleeve.."
"Taichou?"
(Hajime looked at Gero and he placed his head on Ono's head as a sign of thanks and goodbye for his best friend who stayed by his side all this time)
"If I can't save myself..maybe I can at least save my crew.."
"What the hell are you saying Taichou?"
(Gero then got up and climbed out his cupola)
"Taichou! What are you doing?! Get back in here! Damn-my hands.."
(Hajime wanted to open his hatch but his burnt hands wasn't allowing him and he felt intense pain from his chest just now)
"Taichou! Taichou! Don't do this!" Hajime shouted
(Gero wasn't listening to Hajime and just kept on walking. He stepped down to the White Tigers mantlet and sat on it. Everyone saw this and they were scared because they knew what he was doing)
"Onii-sama! Don't do this!" Maho shouted
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan!" Miho was banging on the glass of their room
"He's going to use his body as a human shield?!" Katyusha said
"He's crazy! Why can't he just accept defeat?!" Kaede said
"Because defeat means death for Gero-kun in this match! Can't you see?!" Takashi shouted
"What are you saying?! That's nonsense!" Kaede said
"Takashi! Stop talking now! Kal yelled
(Kaede then recalled the part where all of Crows Nest targeted Gero's tank instead of Erika's commander tank)
"Look! The commander of Crows Nest has shown himself!" Oowada pointed
(Kenji then got out of his cupola to confront Gero face to face. He was about 17 years old and had short black spiky hair and his eyes were still filled with rage for Gero)
"WHY ARE YOU STILL STRUGGLING?! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN ABOMINATION THAT DESERVES TO BE RID OF THIS WORLD!" Kenji shouted
"INSULT ME ALL YOU WANT I DON'T CARE! THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT MY FAMILY ENDURED!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Kenji shouted
*MACHINE GUN FIRE
(Gero was suddenly shot by a hail of rubber bullets all over his body by Kenji's machine gun from the SU-152. But he was too tired to even feel the pain from it)
"GERO-SAN! NII-SAN STOP IT ALREADY! YOU'RE REALLY GONNA KILL HIM!" Sudou shouted
"MAKE ME BLEED MORE! EVERY DROP OF BLOOD SPILLED ADDS FUEL TO THE FLAME INSIDE THE HEARTS OF MY COMRADES!"
"GUNNER TAKE AIM!" Kenji shouted
"B-But..this is just wrong commander! We should stop!" said his gunner
"IF YOU WON'T PULL THE TRIGGER THEN I WILL!" Kenji shouted
*PUSH *SHOVE
(Kenji pushed his gunner away from his seat and took control of the tank's gun. He then aimed the sights on Gero's head and placed his finger on the trigger)
"WE ARE THE WHITE TIGER OF KUROMORIMINE! I AM THE HEIR OF THE NISHIZUMI FAMILY! I AM NISHIZUMI GERO AND I WILL NOT BREAK! YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME!"
"JUST DIE!" Kenji shouted and pulled the trigger
*BANG
(The 152mm shell was fired towards Gero who was sitting on top of their White Tiger. Rain was pouring down on his head and blood was dripping all over his body. His eyes filled with unyielding spirit were staring at the shell fired at him in slow motion. After a few seconds the the golden glow on his eyes slowly faded away and the Sacred Possession deactivated)
"So the seven minutes are up huh..s-sorry..Erika.."
(Then there was an explosion)
