...
With the commander looking up from his desk and towards the documents, he starts going through each letter one by one.
"Thanks zoya, go get cleaned up while i check all of these. Hopefully one of these has news or something."
As zoya nods, with both of me and raisa nodding, and johan heading towards the men's room to do the same...
'Hey I might be able to see things dosen't mean im shameless.... right?'
With the rest of the group leaving to clean up, zoe heads next to the commander and asks, "sooo?~ anything?"
"Personal space zoe, personal space." As the commander pushes zoe's head back as he continues to check each document.
As he checks one letter seeing a seal, he quickly opens it to read it's contents, "Hmm... seems we have an urgent message from headquarters. Finally it's been a long time coming, tell everyone to prepare. I'll go finish up on the rest of these letters."
As he then quickly starts going through and opening each letter and document from the pile that zoya has brought in.
Pouting, zoe peeks over before being pushed back again by the commander, "huh!? Are you just gonna gloss over it without twlling us anything?"
The commander chuckles as he sets down some of the documents and arranges them, "Time waits for no man, now call the others to get ready, and tell them to pack up. Some other team is going to man this base and we are needed somewhere else."
Sighing, zoe heads off towards the girls bathroom first.
...
After a while...
"Everyone ready to go?" As the commander sees everyone nodding, "good. Like before me, anastasia and johan will go by jeep and you girls will cover it."
"Are you still not telling where we are heading to?" Asks zoe as she stuffs her bags at the back of the jeep.
While zoya and raisa are checking in on me and anastasia.
"Are you two good to go? Ammo and cannon all good?" As zoya hands johan a bag full of ammunition for the cannon anastasia is carrying.
"Yep all good. Still plenty of ammo left for anastasia to take potshots with if needed."
"Yep, we are both fine. Just still getting used to carrying this thing" as anastasia lifts the "small" cannon over her shoulder like a shotgun.
With raisa laughing, "you know big sis anastasia, if you told me that you weren't a metal maiden now i never would have believed you!"
Chiming in, zoya laughs as she pats johan and anastasia's shoulders. "Haha! Indeed both of you don't feel like the average person. Unlike the commander you two have some guts! That will surely help you both when you two are eventually put in the field by yourselfs!"
As the commander shakes his head, "i heard that zoya! Anyways load up! We need to move now."
As with that we all nod and the girls get their gear equipped, while both of me hop in the jeep with the commander as we make our way away from the base we have been staying and occupying for the past month or so.
...
After another while of driving and fighting off a group of beast tanks.
"Are we there yet? My i can't feel my feet anymore! Even with the hvss dampening the terrain its still not a smooth ride you know commander! Can you tell us now where we are headed?" As zoe begrudgingly travels by the jeep at a steady pace keeping up with it as it travels down a dirt road.
Chuckling, as the commanded turns the jeep around a corner. "Well... its to somewhere you know."
(・_・)?
With zoe making a confused face as she nearly trips over nothing...
"To somewhere i know?"
Laughing at zoe's seemingly normal near stumble, the commander sighs. "Frunze Academy."
As zoe then trips over nothing, and quickly gets up then catch up to the jeep as we all laugh at zoe's misfortune, "Frunze academy?"
As zoya then "skates" closer to the jeep near the commander's side, "is this about johan and anastasia?"
Shaking his head, then nodding afterwards, "not really, But also yes. We are also heading there for another matter entirely. But you cpuld say this was an accidental coincidence, But a welcome one."
"Haha! Well there you go! Johan ans anastasia! I guess your wishes has been granted. You two always seemed to want to make progress and i guess this is it!" With raisa "skating" by zoya to chime in, "well, i wont say anything more but good luck!"
Zoe, pouting as she travels by the jeep
(＃￣З￣)
"Atleast that makes me a senior! And i won't be out gunned by anastasia anymore once she gets her gear!"
As the commander, zoya ans raisa raises an eyebrow hearing zoe's claim. "Are you sure about that zoe? Anastasia already has a better hit ratio than you even before she becomes a metal maiden like us!" As zoya laughs with raisia nodding by her.
(*｀Д´)ノ!!!
"Muuu! Just you wait! I'll prove myself better than her.... at something... when she graduates!" With zoe fuming at zoya's taunting.
"Alright settled own girls, a pack of beast tanks is coming up infront get ready to engage." As the commander slows the jeep down allowing zoe, zoya and raisa to move up and lead while the commander drives behind zoya taking the front most position.
"Roger! Engaging now!" With the girls confirming, i too steady myself on the jeep aiming towards the incoming beast tanks with anastasia, as i help steady her with johan.
...
After a brief on the move skirmish against the pack of beast tanks, the group continues to drive down the dusty dirt road.
As the commander looks behind on the rear view mirror and looking directly as a package.
