“You say that as if we’re going to die,” you say. Still, you kneel beside Josephina and lock your hands together. Quietly, you pray.

“Father God, bless our teammates and everyone who has worked hard through the summer and through the night so they may give us the support we need in this battle,” says Stack. “And bless those who oppose us for they are not evil at heart, but merely following an evil bitch of a girl.”

“Stack,” you say.

“Sorry. And most importantly, please give us the strength to carry on after this match so we may continue building our legend, and we may continue our love for Tankery. Amen.”

“Amen.”

As everyone stands up, you continue kneeling. You think about Mom, Dad, Jock, Captain Spruance, Gertrude, Griselda, everybody. They’re all coming here for you. And by God, you’ll not disappoint them. God strike you dead if you go out there and make a fool of yourself. You sigh quietly, then stand up. A little divine intervention may be what you need right now.

The five of you step out of the tent. You take one last sip of coffee then you hand it off to Denise. Denise smiles happily. Even though she’s now commanding the Tetrarch, she still serves dutifully as your personal assistant. “Right,” you say. “Girls.” Everyone looks to you. “Let’s give it our best shot.” You hold out your hand. Stack places her hand down on top of yours, then Winona, then Ingrid, then Josephina.

Stack grins. “Here’s to the team!”

Winona shouts, “Here’s to our boy, Oliver!”

Josephina nods. “Here’s to glory!”

Ingrid yells, “Here’s to victory!”

“LGA Forever!” You all raise your hands, cheering. Stack pumps her fists, then mockingly punches Ingrid.

“Ow!” Ingrid yelps. “You actually punched me, dick!”

“Pfft, look where your mind went,” Stack says. “I didn’t even punch you that hard. If you think that was a real punch, wait until you see me actually punch something.” Ingrid rolls her eyes, still smiling.

Winona says, “Come on, girls! Let’s get to our tank!” Everyone starts jogging down the line to the hangars. It’s time to get reacquainted with Oliver once again. Then you hear a noise.

You look to the side and see Arisu Shimada standing there, a Boko Bear in her arms. She motions you over. “Hey, I’ll catch up. I got something that needs doing,” you say.

“Don’t take too long, we still need a commander here,” says Ingrid. They go on without you. You walk up to Arisu Shimada. Funny that you see her here considering everything that’s been happening so far. You rub your hands together, smiling at her. Arisu keeps a neutral expression, probably not ere for idle chit chat.

“I must apologize for Mei’s behavior,” she says. You frown. “She is a good tanker but her pride is overstepping her ability unfortunately.”

“So it would seem.” Seems now today it’ll be settled once and for all however. “Listen, thank you so much for all of your guidance. I am very grateful.” Arisu tilts her head. “You’ve taught me so much about Tankery, both on and off the field. I can’t ever repay that.”

“Of course you can’t, you are poor,” she says. Oh. Well. “That was a joke, I’m sorry.” You snort. The idea of her saying it was a joke is funnier than the joke itself really. “I was trying to lighten the mood given the dire circumstances you are facing. However, know that win or lose out there, you will always have a place in the Shimada Household.” Oh? “I have talked to my mother and we have agreed… if you wish to pursue Tankery professionally, you may study at our school and become part of our professional team when you graduate. That is if you wish to pursue the idea.”

“I… I’m flattered,” you say.

She tilts her head, curious to hear what your decision may be.

We need to think over it first, and four years should be enough for us to come into a good decision.

It's on the short list to be certain, but 4 years is a long time away to commit to something like that.

>>3096396

And oh shit we lewded a 13 year old gorl

> “But I’m not sure. It’s still four years away. And I got high school to go through first.”
> “I’ll definitely see if it’s something I want to do.”

“I’m not sure. It’s still four years away. And I got high school to go through first and everything. But it’s definitely something I’d love to do. I’m just not sure. If you can give me the four years, maybe I can have your answer by then?”

Arisu nods. “Understandable. It’s a big commitment to make. Until then however, I wish you good luck in the match and in your future endeavors in Senshadou. And if you see Mei, please give her my regards. I do not wish for our relationship to sour any further than it already has.”

“Believe me, it won’t. I’ll make sure she knows you said hello,” you say.

Arisu smiles. “Wonderful. I will look forward to meeting you after the match.” With that, she turns around and leaves. For once, you actually get to see her walk away and leave instead of her just teleporting away or something. Ninjas. You shake your head, smiling. Maybe one day you’ll be like her. Maybe not as short obviously but still. You shake your head, then sigh.

Right. What now then?

…

You find Griselda speaking with Athena and Tessa. You stop, letting them have their chat. “Listen,” says Griselda. “I know things between us have been tense. But I want to bury the hatchet. And I don’t need to be the bigger girl either here. So I want to say sorry to you two, for being a damn fool to the both of you and for… for just not appreciating you two either. Especially you, Athena.” Athena folds her arms, glancing down at the ground while Tessa stares at Griselda. “If you guys want to sit this out and-“

“As if,” says Athena. “We’re with you.”

Tessa smiles. “We appreciate the apology. But I can’t accept it.” Athena looks at Tessa, surprised. Griselda does too. “I know it seems mean but hear me out. Griselda, as long as I’ve know you, Athena, Luisa and Yuno too, you’ve always been a hard charger. You’ve worked your butt off getting here. Some people gave you a bad break for being your sister’s sister. And we split up because we didn’t want to go down that road you were. But before you did, you were the best damn girl I knew. Honest, brave, and strong. If I were to accept your apology, it’d mean forgetting that you were able to overcome yourself and work your way out of this funk and become a better person for it. I don’t want to forget that.”

The silence around the three is palpable. Griselda smiles. “Wow, Tessa, that’s- that’s mighty-“

“Where do you want us?” she asks.

She points to Athena. “Loader.” Then to Tessa. “Radio op.” She claps her hands. “Chop chop you two.” With that, they turn and go back towards the tank. Griselda stands there though, her chest swelling with some pride as you arrive. “… oh did you see that?” she asks you when you show up.

You shrug. “A little.”

“I just wish I had the same kind of courage to say that to my sister sometimes but… a little more complicated that situation I think,” she remarks. She smiles at you. “Think we’re ready?”

“I know we are. We’ve come this far, haven’t we?” Truth be told, you’re doing everything in your power right now to keep your knees from shaking. But as long as you’re with friends, you’ll be fine. “After all, I don’t think we came this far to just collapse like a sack of potatoes.”

“Point taken.” Griselda smiles, then pats your back. “Come on.” The two of you start walking. “You know, Elodie. At the end of this, I hope one day you guys will know how grateful I am.”

“I think you’ve said that quite a few times,” you say.

“And I won’t stop saying that until you’re aware of it,” she says. “You, Iris, Serafina, Regina, Hadley, everyone. You’ve all made this team what it is. And I can’t say that I’m not proud of all of you. I just want to let that out for now.” She reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out a piece of paper. “You know, I actually wrote this in preparation for if we lose.”

“You wrote a speech in advance in case we lose?” you ask. Is she serious?

She nods. “Yeah. Like you know, when they were going up to the moon, they had to prepare for the alternative, the worst case scenario. That either they’d be stranded or they’d be dead. Obviously, they didn’t get either of those, they turned out fine. But, you know. I just wrote it because I don’t think I’ll be able to think clearly if we lose.”

“I’m sure you will,” you say. “You just have to be honest.”

She nods, grunting. “Yeah. I guess.” She places it back in her pocket. “Listen, Elodie. I want to ask you something before we do this.” You nod. Anything. “It’s about me and Gertrude. I’m sure you’re sick to death of this but, just to… just to make things final and clear. I do want us to have a good relationship but I’m not sure how I can approach it now. Seems like the more we go on the further we get. So… what do you think?”

> “You two are different people in the end. Don’t try and change that.”

“You two are different people in the end, Griselda. Don’t try and be like her. Don’t try and change that. Just be your own person in the end is all I say,” you say. “That’s really all there is to it I think.”

“Hm.” Griselda nods, smiling. “Well. Thanks.” She smiles brightly, a light pink to her cheeks. “What would I do without a friend like you, Elodie.” She slaps your arm. “Come on, we got a match to win.” The two of you start walking down the line. As you walk, you’re joined by the Commanders. Iris comes in next you two, nodding. Serafina marches in next to you, smiling proudly. Regina as well falls in, then Duchess, then Hadley, and Dalia. Serina and Claudia. Kathy and Jane. Lyra and Elyse. Benny and Suvorov.

You all walk in a rank, marching towards the hangars to your tanks. “Well, girls. It’s been an honor,” says Regina.

“Time to earn our keep,” says Serafina. “Powodzenia!”

“Yeah, what she said,” says Dalia.

You sigh, letting the tension escape you as you walk with your fellow commanders.

This is the day you’ve been waiting for.

Thanks boss

You stand in line with all of the commanders. Gertrude stands in front of you all. And at the forefront across from you was Mei.

The balance was striking. Your team was large enough to fill a hill behind you. But behind her, it was like her teams were stretching across the horizon. It was about a few minutes before the match would start in earnest. And so, the only thing left to do was sit and wait.

Mei was the first to break silence. “I admire your conviction. That you’d still show up and face us despite protesting so much about the rule changes.”

Griselda says, “We came way too far to just back out now.”

“Clearly,” Mei states. “You have your sister’s determination.” Griselda snorts, glancing away. “As for the rest of your team, I presume you think you have a chance against us.”

“If we destroy even one of your tanks,” says Griselda. “That’d be good enough for me.”

“Yes, yes, very nice.” Mei looks past Griselda, directly at you. “I see the way you look at me, Elodie Zumwalt. Either you have a resting bitch face as they say or you lack common respect for your peers.”

“I don’t have resting bitch face and I certainly am not lacking in common respect for people I consider my peers,” you remark.

Mei grunts. “You’re right not to consider me your peer. I’m far above that.”

“Let’s not taint the field with trashtalk, Mei. We’re going to do what we’ve always done. Play.” You fold your arms, seeing Mei quieten down. “By the way. Arisu sends her regards. She’d be here herself but she knows that’d make things awkward.”

“No, I’m sure it’s because she didn’t work up the courage to see me herself,” Mei remarks bluntly. You snort, giving her an angry look. She’s making your blood boil just by being there. “I thank you though.”

The judges step forward. Judge Joyce smiles. “A beautiful day for a round of Tankery, girls. Let’s get on with it.” The five of them assemble. “Welcome to the Final Match of the NATO Summer Tournament! This match is between Lafayette Girls Academy and Zhou Enlai School of Business and Economics!” Everyone cheers and whoops and hollers from the bleachers. You can hear your Mom and Dad amidst all of it. You can even hear the boys from Kill Devil Hills High School among the crowd too. They’re all there to support you and the team. “This match is a flag match! Whoever renders inoperable the opposing team’s tank is the winner regardless of final kill counts! Now shake hands you two!”

Mei shakes hands with Griselda. Freya and Josie Stillwell also exchange handshakes with you two. Josie shakes hands firmly with you, giving you a very stern look. “For what it’s worth, good luck.”

“You too.” You nod to her. Then Mei looks over at you. She offers you her hand.

So, the revised plan is to tactically twerk at Mei to throw her off.

>>3099504
We can put her on tilt by flaunting our assets. Mei probably has the body type of a waist-high fence.

> Shake it.

You shake her hand, firmly, as politely as you can really. Mei acknowledges, nodding her head. While technically the Commanders have the most animosity in theory, the real fight is between you and her. If you two were to meet out there, goodness. It won’t be pretty.

The judges nod. Judge Joyce grins. “Let there be no ill will. This match shall decide the winner of the NATO Summer Tournament and the champion of NATO! Now we-…” She pauses, looking to the side. The other judges see it too. You turn around, then see something on the horizon.

Closing in quickly was a Grizzly Firefly. Riding atop it was Meryl Hoffmeister. What the hell? “Stop!” she screams. Her tank rolls up behind all of you, stopping completely before Meryl dismounts and says, “Nobody’s doing anything without me.”

“Uh. Meryl.” Judge Joyce looks at Meryl Hoffmeister, confused. “You’re not a student of LGA. You’re not even officially on their roster.”

“Oh but I am,” says Meryl. She presents papers from her pockets. “Transferred in yesterday.” What. What!? Griselda blinks, confused out of her mind.

“Stop!” You look back again and see Dix Hauser and Carolina Greene flying in on their respective tanks, an M4A3E2 Jumbo and an M24 Chafee tank. “Nobody’s starting anything without me! We’re students of LGA too!”

Griselda blinks, shocked and confused. “What in the fu…” She realizes microphones are recording what they say. “What in the heck?”

Carolina dismounts, running up to Judge Joyce. “My transfer papers.” She rolls up her sleeve, checking her watch. “I hope we’re not too late.”

“Carolina, what’s going on!?” Griselda steps up to her, confused.

“You think we’re going to let Tankery be taken over by some rich players with the best tanks around?” asks Carolina. “Never. We’re all helping you, Griselda.”

>>3099605

> “’All of you?’”

“All of you?” you ask. They can’t really mean…

Then you see more tanks coming in over the horizon. The crowd goes hogwild as tanks from all over the league start arriving. Mackenzie King in her Stug III. Salome del Rio in her Char 2C. Maria da Silva in her Tetrarch tank. June Bug Weathers in her M3 Lee CDL. Perrine Hobart in her monster tank of a Churchill VII AVRE Ardeer Aggie. You see Orange Pekoe and Rosehip in their Churchill VII and Crusader tank arriving over the hill as well. Eleanor D’Aquitaine as well comes to help as well in her Panther tank. They all park up their tanks, wearing freshly pressed LGA uniforms, all smiles and sunshine. Salome says, “There’s a painting like this one in the Portrait gallery. General Grant with all of his generals, ready to go whack Johnny Reb. A glorious scene if I do say so myself.”

Rosehip stands atop her tank turret, thumping her chest. “Have no fear, the cavalry has arrived!” Griselda steps back, completely staggered. Even Iris looks completely shocked by this turn of events. Mei does not look shaken at all. She folds her arms, staring at the scene ahead of her.

“Wait! Wait!” You hear Captain Spruance. Oh God. Not her too! You see the SU-100 clumsily coming in over the hill as well. “This is Captain Spruance of the Lafayette Girls Academy! We will not go quietly in the night!”

Who else is going to show up!? Then you see an ISU-152 following her. Oh. Oh boy.

Oryola Kuznetsov. She takes a swig of water from her canteen, grinning happily as she rolls over the hill. Not much else needs to be said really. She arrives on the scene as well. “I have a temporary week transfer with LGA. Do not be questioning it,” she remarks.

Freya says, “Hold on! They can’t just bring in-“ Josie punches Freya in the side, quickly silencing her.

Oryola drops down and holds out her hand to Griselda. “We are happy to help.” Griselda shakes it, a look of complete befuddlement and yet complete joy as well on her face.

Judge Joyce looks at Mei. “We’ll have to go over the rules to confirm. But if you want to protest, the choice is yours.”

Mei looks at you and Griselda. She sighs, clearly frustrated. “Seems history repeats.” She shakes her head. “We will play. No protest. If they think they can win, then let them try.” She looks to you. “It seems as you Americans would say, Gondor has called for aide and Rohan shall answer, is it not?”

“Seems having friends pays off, Mei,” you remark. “I hope this doesn’t affect your ability to perform in the final match.”

“No, if anything it steels my resolve,” she says back. “And I won’t feel completely bad for beating you if you turn out with a full team of your own. Let’s have ourselves a good match. And may the better Tanker win.” Hmph. They shall.

“Here are your teams!” shouts Judge Joyce.

With that, you all bow to each other, amidst the applause of thousands of spectators in the stands. Your breath is a little labored, and your heart is pounding. You've actually got backup. And now here's the final match. Not just among friends, but among allies and former foes.

This is where it gets decided.

...

...

"Lookie here!" June Bug grins. She wags a finger in your face as you approach the tanks. Everyone is excitedly chatting with each other as the plan starts to spread down the ranks. "Seems we meet again! Would've preferred it under better circumstances but, I'll take what I can get."

Perrine grins. "June Bug! Cheri! If it isn't my cheaper and much less prettier alternative."

"Ah, piss off, creole."

Maria smiles. "We've come from far and wide to assist you all. Is this not to your liking?"

So the numbers are evened out. Now, this quest generally leans more towards realism, but if there was ever a time to start pulling off anime-style shenanigans, this match is it.

I'm waiting for the minor heart attack Ellie might have when it finally sinks in that she's actually on the same team as Oryola.

Dear Mei,

Thank you for the generous opportunity to play a match along side my sports hero Oryola. I shall treasure always the experience that you helped create.

Die in a fire, you unrelenting bitch.

“I just hope we didn’t pull any of you from anything important. I know this is a-“

“It is no trouble at all!” declares Perrine. “We can’t just stand by and let our girls be bullied by people just because they have money and you don’t.” That’s incredibly noble of them, all of them. Griselda smiles, shaking hands with everybody while Iris still stands around, dazed by this. Then you see Oryola walking over, dusting her hands by clapping them together like chalkboard erasers.

“We are assembling a fine crew here today on this battlefield!” Oryola says. “Each and everyone of you deserves a place in the halls of glory for this that you have done.”

Carolina nudges Dix. “Ya hear that? Halls of glory.”

“I don’t care about no glory, I’m here to take my bit against Freya,” Dix declares. “You just happened to be here.”

“How did you all even manage to transfer in?” you ask. “It can’t have bene possible for all of you and your crews to come in overnight.”

“We had help,” says Oryola. “A certain someone’s sister in LGA.” Griselda nods. She understands. You do too. Gertrude. “Now. Before anything else however. We need to know the plan.”

“Plan?” you ask.

“Of course. Unless you want us to go off on our own and do our thing. We are teammates now.” Teammates? With Oryola Kuznetsov? You blink. Oh dear. You take a deep breath. You’re teammates with Oryola Kuznetsov. This is wonderful! Absolutely amazing and… wow! You’re teammates with Oryola Kuznetsov! “Solnyshka, are you okay?”

“Yes, yes.” You grin. “Right. We got ourselves a plan.”

And it’s a good one.

Cool

>>3100406
Thanks for the fun, boss.

I will spend the next two weeks trying to decide if I should call in sick to make the finale

>>3100431
Anon, I got a feeling the finale is gonna be an incredibly long one so missing one day may not hurt you.

>>3100434
I still don't want to miss it. Maybe the new guy at work will be available to cover for me that day.
