The Jadgdragon

Chapter 8: Meeting the Fire Dragon King

The next day, outside the tankery sheds:
The day had just flown by which finally took them to their tankery session. Natsu could barely hold back his excitement at being able to transform with other people there. After several minutes their instructor still hadn't showed up and the girls were starting to get restless.
"Urgh, where is our instructor? They should be here already, this is so boring." exclaimed Erika in agitation.
Before anyone can say anything, they saw a large, white military transport plane flew close to the ground and precisely dropped a running Tank down in front of the crews without even need to land. The vehicle then speed towards the students and made a 90 degrees brake. The hatch then pops open, and a beautiful young woman emerges from it. She wore a JGSDF standard office uniform, accompanied with a beret and a JGSDF emblem on it. The woman then said to the students "Hiya Everyone! I'm Ami Chouno, Executive Officer and Tank Instructor of the Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force"
As Ami jumps off her tank, she said "Well, As you guys already know, there are lots to learn about Sensha-do, but I will do my best to teach you all... SO, let's start with a training game shall we?"
Ami then put both hands on her waists and said "Always remember, Sensha-do starts with respect and END with respect... Now, everyone, Bow" The students quickly do as she said.
"Ok, everyone take some times to designate each members' position... a Driver, a Commander, a Radio Operator in case of team matches, a gunner and a loader, inform me when you're done ok?"
Miho went up to Natsu and asked, "Natsu, do you want to go with us?" she said as she looked up at him expectantly.
"I'm sorry Miho I can't, my motion sickness has gotten worse, and that I have my own practicing to do," he said as he leant close to her ear then whispered so only she could hear him, "Besides I'll see you in the field, just not in this form."
Sighing, Miho relented and then said "Fine but you'd better watch us,"
"Of course I will." he said back. "Now then shouldn't you be choosing your positions?" he reminded her.
"Oh yes of course, I'll see you later." she said as she ran back to the girls who were waiting for her. Realising that they needed two more people they all walked up to the nearest available people and said, "Hey, do you want to go with us?"
"Sure, so which tank are we in?" they replied.
"Oh we're in the panther at the end."
As this was happening Natsu walked up to Ami, who was waiting for everyone to finish, and said "Ma'am can I talk to you for a second?"
"Why, of course you can there is no reason to ask. So what's the matter?" she said cheerfully.
"Well, you know about the addition to the games with the draconic robots?" he asked hesitantly.
"Yes, why what's the problem?"
"Well since we don't have one yet, I thought that I could do something about it."
"What would you do?"
"It's because of this." he said as he revealed his dragon like arm to her.
"Oh my god, what happened to you?"
"Well I have the ability to turn into a dragon, and I thought that I could fight the other robots in matches and I could act as reconnaissance."
"Hmm, that's a good idea, I can't wait to see what you can do."
Meanwhile everyone seemed to have finished assigning each other's positions.
The girls decided to introduce themselves, the two girls starting first, "Hi, my name is Hakari Kita and this is Yukiko Fukui, who are you?"
Maho decided to answer for them, "Well it's nice to meet you, my name is Maho Nishizumi, this is my sister Miho and this is Erika Itsumi."
The girls then look at each other for a whole 5 minutes as if they were having a telepathic conversation before then all shook their head in unison and said to Ami "Ok miss Chouno, we're ready"
Ami nodded as she shouted "ALRIGHT EVERYONE! MOUNT and FLOOR IT!"
Once inside the tank, Maho closed the hatch as she look at Hakari who was confusing looking at the two steering sticks and other mechanism as she said "Okkk... what does this do?"
Maho then said to her "First you got to start the ignition then youEEEEEEK"
Before Maho can finish her sentence, Hakari steps on the gas pedal and the tank speed off, with Miho shouting "Wooohooo!".
All the other tanks had varying degrees of success.
Once all the tanks had left Natsu warped himself in fire and transformed into his dragon form whilst unleashing a mighty roar, echoing in the surrounding forests.
Taking flight Natsu immediately headed of towards the area in which the tank battle was taking place.
