"All tanks return fire." Darjeeling said through the radio.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

(All of the Centurion's barking their 105mm AP rounds, soon Darjeeling's Chieftain stopped while the Centurions just continued on advancing.)

"Range 1,480 yards, Load, High Explosive Squash Head shell." she calmly said.

"HESH loaded!" replied Orange Pekoe as she loads the HESH shell.

"Aimed and ready Darjeeling-sama!" added Assam.

"Fire." Darjeeling simply said.

"Firing now!" responded Assam.

*Bang* (Goes the thunderous roar of the Royal Ordnance L11A5 120mm gun)

*Boom* (Goes the loud explosion of the 120mm HESH round besides Maho's Leopard-2A4)

"That was too close for comfort" she remarked.

"Commander, what now. If we stay here for too long were gonna get overwhelmed by St. Gloriana!" said Erika.

"I know, but our goal is to make a delaying action" Maho said.

"I know Commander, but I hope your brother gets here soon or we'll be-" Erika said as she was suddenly cutted off by a shell landing beside their tanks.

(Then as they looked on, just Northwest of their position was a column of the British Tanks, the FV4034 Challenger II. Bearing down on them.)

[St. Gloriana line up]

"Oh your late, Mister. Nigel" said Darjeeling on the radio.

"You should've had me on your column, Mister. Nigel, if you had St. Gloriana's top speedster then you wouldn't be late" said rosehip over the radio.

"Indeed we managed to tie down kuromorimine here without hindrance, I wonder where's kuromorimine's European teammate?" Assam asked.

"Only one can know Assam-san" said Orange Pekoe.

"Right now, we need to focus our fire on Kuromorimine, then we could move on to that European school" Darjeeling responded.

"Good plan Darjeeling-sama!" Rukuriri said over the radio as suddenly the noises of the Perkins CV-12-6A V12 diesel engines that the Challenger II's are known for was heard.

[British Line up]

"Hello Sorry were late, we got bogged down by those pesky Leopard-2A6's on the way here" said Nigel through the radio.

"Oh hush you, its your bloody fault for getting nearly all of us taken out" snapped Margret to her brother.

"Well I didn't expected the Western Wolf to do this kinds of strategy again, last time I saw him do that kind of stunt was on a tournament two years ago" Nigel counters.

"Whatever Big brother, just don't get nicked by him again alright" Margret said.

"Of course just for you little sister" Nigel reassures his sister.

"Sir, the gun is loaded!" announced his loader.

"What did you load lad?" he asked.

"HESH sir!" the loader responded.

"Jolly Good, Gunner if you may please take aim" Nigel said calmly.

"Aimed and ready sir!" his gunner responded.

"Fire!" he ordered.

"Firing!" his gunner responded.

*Bang* (Goes the thunder of the L30A1/L55 Rifled AT Gun)

(A/N: If you want to see a Chally II firing here it is enjoy)

https://youtu.be/qJqn8fClhJs

*Clank* (The Shot hits one of Kuromorimine's Leopard-1A5 immediately disabling it)

"Good hit, well done lad!" said Nigel to his gunner.

(Soon the column of Challenger II's briefly slowed their advance towards Kuromorimine in a arrow formation.)

"All tanks, this is command tank. Advance to the Leopards at speed, fire on the move use your advance Fire Control Systems to your advantage" Nigel ordered.

"Yes sir!" responded most of the other British tank commanders.

"Aye sir!" responded the Scottish tank commander in the team.

"All tanks look to your front" Nigel said calmly.

https://youtu.be/HzIK4La9NvM

"And Advance!" he said through the radio

"All tanks, Open fire" Nigel ordered

(And soon giving the order to advance all of the Challengers, advance in a perfect line, and at the same time firing on the move. Keeping Kuromorimine pinned down at their position.)

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

(Chorused the 10 120mm L30A1 guns of the Challenger's)

*Clank* (Goes one of the shells as it hits Koume's Leopard-1A5, immediately taking her out)

*Boom* (x9) (Goes the shells that missed its mark and impacted the ground)

"Commander what should we do?" Erika said.

"Stay Calm" Maho said.

"Stay calm!? Commander, where is your genius brother, he's not here. How do we get ourselves out of this mess!? Erika snapped.

*Blam*

*Blam*

*Blam*

*Blam*

*Blam*

*Blam*

*Blam*

(As Erika was ranting, when suddenly one of the Challengers and four of the Centurions was suddenly taken out, all of them looked at the top of the ridge to see Jiro's entire Column of Leopards, looking down at them.)

"Aha it looks like our reinforcements have arrived!" Maho rejoiced over the radio as shells continued to impact around them.

"W-What, how did they get here so fast!?" Erike blurted out in surprise.

"Well their here already so all tanks forward!" She ordered the Leopard-1A5's and Leopard-2A4's of Kuromorimine into a counterattack .

"All tanks open fire!" Shouted Erika through the radio, then the Leopard 1 and 2's fired their main armaments simultaneously at the British lines thus giving St Gloriana and their British friends a good bracketing.

(At the same time both Nigel and the Brits, and along with most of St. Gloriana got chills on their back as the image of a hunter was seen on the German tanks that are over looking them, immediately breaking the trance Nigel realizes the predicament their in.)

"This is command tank, all tanks break! Get out of the open field!" he shouted.

(As Nigel was ordering his tanks out of the killing field, St. Gloriana was also doing the same, under intense fire from the Leopard-2A6's on the ridge line above them.)

"Hello, sorry were a bit late. We have to get around their rear guard and it took us some time to do it." Jiro said over the frequency.

"Shell geladen kommandant!" said Werner.

"Gut, Offenes Feuer!" [Good, Open Fire!] he said to his crew and the rest of W.K.U's tanks as the Leopard-2A6's and Jiro's Leopard-2A7 opened fire taking out St Gloriana's Centurions and Darjeeling's Chieftain and a couple of the Challengers in the process. 

"Enemy command tank spotted! Wilhelimina take them out now!" Jiro ordered to his gunner

"Jawohl! Firing!" Shouted Wilhelmina, as the Rheinmetall 120mm L/55 gun barks, sending off a AFSDS shell into Nigel's Challenger II thus taking the command tank out, thus winning Kuromorimine and W.K.U the practice match.

"Enemy command tank immobilized! Therefore Kuromorimine and W.K.U wins the match!" Shouted the announcer over the PA speakers.

"Ah crud, bloody Jerry got us." Cried Nigel as he comes out of his commanders hatch

"You bloody twat, what on bloody earth were you thinking? Why were you just derping around in the open like some retarded moron!?" Shouted Margret over the radio towards her older brother.

"Well first of young lady I don't like your tune, remember what mother told us about your temper, and second I was trying to relocate to a safer position. But I did not count that the Bosch would have such a good aim." Nigel retorted back.

"Hmph, whatever brother. Just next time don't get your arse kicked by the Bosch, I guess it's better than those annoying onion lovers and the commies." Margret remarked with a pout.

"Alright alright, come down. There's no need to cuss about it, I promise I won't get sacked by the French nor the Russians in the next training match or the tournament." He replied as he reassures his younger sister.

"You better be brother, cause if not I'll be the one to sack you in a 1 on 1 match, do we have an agreement?" She said as she exteneds her hand.

"Agreed sister." He said as they shook hands.

(After they both shook hands Jiro arrived to the scene whilst Margret left giving Jiro a nod as they met eyes.)

"So what was that about?" He asked his friend

"Oh just Margret cussing again that I lost to you. Again." Nigel replied with a small smile.

"Well I do hope no hard feelings, this was only a training match between us?" Jiro said as he put his hand at his head and scratches it.

"Oh goodness no, no hard feelings mate. We are good friends, just apparent that Margret still has a temper." Nigel said with a chuckle.

"Well I guess a short goodbye is in order?" Jiro asked as he extends his hand.

"Yeah I guess so, see you on the center stage old chap." Nigel replied smiling as he shook hands with Jiro.

(As their hands separated and the two young men going their separate way and as a recovery vehicle passes by heading towards the disabled Challenger II, Nigel shouted towards Jiro.)

"Oi mate!" Nigel shouted and as Jiro turned towards him Nigel gave him a quick salute as a thanks for the well done match, and Jiro returning it.

[VIP Observation post #1]

(On the observation post is Shiho and Chouno watching the match unfold in their very eyes, and both were surprised that the match was too quick compared to the previous matches that they have watched.)

"I'm quite surprised that your son managed to out maneuver the rear guard unit that the British left for them" Chouno commented.

"Well It doesn't come to a surprise for me, he was professionally trained in Germany when he was studying western sensha-do there, all those years ago" Shiho replied with a smile.

"What surprised me really is the speed in which he executed the maneuver to avoid that rear guard unit." Said Chouno with astonishment.

"I'm proud of my son, he has taken the Nishizumi style to a whole new level mixed with his own." Shiho said with a smile.

"That is certainly true, I've seen the similarities of your style in his movements, yet their so different. He really had taken your style to new heights." Complemented Chounou.

"I know right, and I'm proud of him. He will soon take the Nishizumi style to different heights as he continues to battle." Shiho added with a proud smile to his son.

[VIP Observation post #2]

"Isn't Nii-chan amazing!? Said a small girl with grey hair all the while holding a beaten up looking bear (It's Boko)  

"I agree with you Alice." Her mother replied to her daughter and then thought of something in her mind. "Jiro-chan has certainly grew over the years, I wonder if he still accepts the offer I have for him 12 years ago, I might have to talk about this with Shiho soon." She said on her mind.

"Last time I saw you this serious with something was when you, Mika, and Alice were just little kids and playing around." Smiled Chiyo as she continues to reminisce the good old times

"Can we meet nii-chan after the match Okaa-sama?" Asked Alice excitedly immediately snapping her away from her train of thoughts

"Sure, we could meet him later, I have to talk Shiho anyways. You can go and say hi." Replied Chiyo to her daughter

Timeskip 30 minutes later

(About 30 minutes later Alice and Chiyo were now in the holding area for Kuromorimine and W.K.U, the holding area is basically a maintenance garage, and a open area where the students from both schools were resting and talking to each other. On the other hand Jiro was busy with his loader, and driver cleaning their Leopard-2A7's gun, and other parts that is covered in dust and mud.)

"NII-CHAN!!!" Shouted Alice as she runs towards Jiro's position.

(Startled, Jiro turned around to be immediately met with a sudden and cute hug from Alice.)

"Oof, what the!?" He said in surprise as the wind was knocked out of him.

(Jiro then look around to see Hans and Werner were looking at him with smug smiles, while Wilhelmina from the turret has the aww so cute smile plastered on her face.)

"Nii-chan I missed you so much!" Alice said in excitement.

"Uh wait Alice-chan!" Jiro said to her.

"Where did you go Nii-chan? Why did you left me and Onee-san all those years ago?" She added all the while Jiro was sweating buckets at this point.

"Wow Kommandant has another little sister that's cute!" Laughed Hans.

"This is quite the show Kommandant, any other sisters you might be hiding?" Added Werner laughing.

"Awww she's so adorable, Jiro can we take her home?" Asked Wilhelmina.

"W-Wait guys you got it all wrong!" Jiro replied frantically.

"Hey Oni-sama, why is Alice Shimada clinging to you like glue?" Asked Maho as she came up from behind along with Erika and Koume trailing.

"W-Wait Maho-chan, Erika-san, Koume-san. Please don't get the wrong idea!

"You know Alice has been itching to meet you, ever since she heard you were back." A calm voice in the back said.

(Looking at their backs everyone saw Shiho, and Chiyo, and as well as Chouno with smiles plastered on their faces.)

"Okaa-san!, Chiyo-sama!" Jiro blurted as he bows to the two masters of Sensha-do.
