Alright guys, here's the disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own anything with Girls Und Panzer's rights, though I do thank the creator of the series for how amazing it is.

So, it's finally time to reveal this backburner project I've been telling my readers about. For those of you who are reading this and haven't read any of my stories which are unrelated to this one seeing as they're all Gundam related… I'll break it down for you. (xxxxxx = Chapter Start/End, xxx = Scene break.)

I will warn ahead of time, if you haven't seen the series there may be spoilers ahead in coming chapters. Then again this is fan fiction and when isn't there…

*Tap*

Wha… Oh thank you.

"You're welcome Mr. Aldaeus." Darjeeling smiled as she handed him a cup of tea.

I already like this cast much more than the massive Gundam crossover I'm writing… much less violent…

*Rumble*

Wha…

*CRASH!*

WHAT THE HELL!?

"MY DARJEELING!" Orange roared as she drove the Churchill VII through the wall.

SAVE ME!

"GET HIM!" Assam commanded as she opened up with the main gun.

"Oh my…" Darjeeling smiled as the Churchill VII rumbled past chasing Aldaeus away. "Well then, enjoy the chapter, and please read and review."

Darjeeling save me they're crazy!

"keep a stiff upper lip Mr. Aldaeus." Darjeeling sipped on her tea as Ald ran past.

Olympian Panzers

Ch. 1

An Announcement

"Miho Nishizumi please report to the student council room immediately!" A voice came over the announcement system in the middle of their lunch period.

"Wha… but we just sat down…" Miho gaped after finally reaching their seat through the admirers she had gained, as a result of winning the national Sensha-do championship and saving Ooarai Girl's Academy.

"What could Anzu want?" Hana blinked as she looked over at Miho.

"Whatever it is I think it's urgent…" Mako shrugged.

"What makes you say that Mako?" Saori looked at her.

"Because the monitors say urgent, and she said she wanted her there immediately." Mako pointed at the monitors and sighed.

"I'll be back soon…" Miho sighed as she got up and began to make her way quickly from the cafeteria.

"Thank you for coming Miho!" Anzu smiled at her as she entered the student council room.

"What's this about Anzu, I finally got to the table for lunch…" Miho sighed as she turned to look before freezing on the spot from seeing her elder sister, Maho.

"Maho, what are you doing here?" Miho blinked seeing her sister slightly glaring at her.

"I'm here because I was told to come by mother for some reason, and she…" Maho pointed at Anzu "Has refused to inform us why until you got here."

"Us?" Miho blinked.

"Come now Maho, don't be angry with your sister over this…" The sweet voice came from one of the chairs near the desk, before Darjeeling poked her head out around the chair and smiled at Miho.

"I disagree… she's been nothing but secrets since I stepped over the gate to this school." Anchovie glared as she shot out of her seat.

"You disagree with everyone Anchovie." The voice of Katyusha chimed in smiling, knowing she'd gotten under the taller girl's skin.

"Oh come on, Anji is just teasing us… don't get flustered over it…" Kay smiled as she flashed Miho a peace sign.

"Why is everyone here?" Miho blinked looking around at the other top ranking schools' Sensha-Do commanders.

Anzu cleared her throat "Now that we're all here, you can come in Instructor Chouno."

The adjoining door to the main teachers' offices opened and the Sensha-do instructor of Ooarai entered smiling at them. "Thank you all for coming… and sorry for keeping everyone in the dark for so long about this."

"Wha… you didn't even know!?" Anchovie glared at Anzu who shrugged.

"Girls, calm down, this is an important matter, and it's why you've all been called here on such short notice…" Ami looked around at them. "We've received a small shock you could say in the International Sensha-Do world…"

"International?" Maho blinked. "You mean something happened with the international championship tournament this year?"

"Yes, it's been canceled." Ami said it so nonchalantly it didn't register immediately with all of the girls in the room.

"WHAT!?" All of the girls collectively yelled gaping at the news.

"Hold on!" Ami held up her hands. "It's because of something taking its place…"

"What could be more important than the International Championship, we were training to take part in it just yesterday!" Anzu was shell shocked and for the first time really showing some anger at the surprise news.

Ami coughed before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a letter "This…" She unfolded it and smiled "From the International Sensha-Do commission, this year's International Championship tournament has been canceled. The reason for this is that in place of Wrestling, Sensha-Do has once again been admitted to the Summer Olympic Games, which will take place over the same time that the International tournament would have been. In the interest of all participating nations, we do not intend to deny their Olympic teams of their best and brightest girls."

She smiled before unfolding the second page "From the International Olympic Committee, with the selection of Tokyo for the games, the inclusion of Sensha-Do was decided seeing as it is a central part of Japanese culture, and has been over the past century of its existence. The competition will be in the same format as it had been held during the seventies, a tournament bracket of all nations entering teams. As the tournament had been done in the seventies, the Panzers available for use are to be from 1930 to 1970. Further details pertaining rule changes to better adapt to the Olympic format will come shortly. See you in Tokyo." She looked up and all of the girls were seemingly stunned.

"Olympics… THE OLYMPICS!?" Anzu gaped as it finally registered in their heads.

"Yes, and it's the reason you've all been asked here… as the commanders of the nation's top ranking schools, you're being asked to gather your very best for the Japanese Olympic Team." Ami looked around at them. "Oh and Darjeeling, your tea is overflowing…"

"Ahh!" Darjeeling tipped her cup back upright to avoid spilling anymore.

"It takes a lot to make Darjeeling spill her tea… and I'd say this qualifies as a lot…" Kay smiled.

"So, why couldn't we just be told at our own schools?" Maho asked.

"Because… you see, it was decided that the Sensha-do team will train here at Ooarai…" Ami smiled at them. "And you've all been selected for it, because of your outstanding performance in the national tournament."

"Why not just take the national champions?" Katyusha asked looking at Miho.

"Because, the tanks available to us are what we have available… the government's budget is really tight with all of the projects getting the Olympic stadiums and facilities ready…" Ami looked at them.

"So wait, we're going into this tournament with what we have!?" Anchovie gaped "They said we could use tanks from anywhere between 1930 and 1970, that's a huge gap and our schools tanks go to 1945 at the latest! We're gonna be the laughing stock of the competition!"

"Well, not really… you see back then Japan went by the international rules… which allowed up to 1970 in Sensha-Do. The thing about this is… according to the records, after it was dropped from the Olympics, Japan dropped down the years to allow for more competitive play." Ami looked around at them.

"Let me guess…" Anzu looked at Miho.

"We didn't have any records of tanks from outside Ooarai…" Miho blinked before looking at Ami.

"That's because they weren't in Ooarai's records… they were in the Olympic records. But records show that all schools outside of Ooarai sold off their tanks to get more tanks from the period set by the new rules." Ami smiled at them.

"So wait… what're you saying?" Kay looked at her "You mean they're here already?"

"That's the thing, after Ooarai dropped Sensha-Do twenty one years ago, before reviving it, records were poorly maintained… we were lucky we found the ones we did, however there is a possibility that the others are scattered like the ones we had located." Ami looked at Miho "Well Commander, think you can find them?"

"What about our schools, we don't have enough people in this room for a full team!" Maho looked at Ami.

"Maho, you're forgetting, the team won't just be made up of tank commanders… each of you can select enough to make up the Sensha-Do team. The overall final team size hasn't been announced, but we may be looking at for the final round anywhere between thirty and forty Panzers." Ami smiled.

"Wait that's double the nationals' size… almost none of our schools have that many crews up to that caliber…" Kay gaped.

"That's why we have a few months to prepare…" Ami looked around at them. "But first, we need to find the missing Olympic Panzers."

"I don't know this ship…" Maho looked at her then looked at the others, who nodded in turn.

Ami smiled. "President Anzu, if you don't mind, please excuse the Sensha-Do team from their afternoon classes, we need all hands available searching for our missing panzers."

Anzu nodded "Yuzuko, Momo I need you in here!" She yelled and the two nearly kicked in the door on cue. "Request the Sensha-Do team members to assemble at the garages, they're dismissed from their afternoon classes for a mandatory team meeting."

"Wha… all of the afternoon!?" Momo gaped. "We just saved the school two months ago, and we just got our heads off of the chopping block, if we do that it'll be a PR nightmare!"

"It'll be a PR nightmare if our nation doesn't have a Sensha-Do team for the Olympics!" Anzu yelled.

"On it!" Momo spun on the spot and exited the room.

Miho looked at her sister, who had pulled out her phone "Mother, I need Erika and at least two crews here now… it's important… I think you know why. Thank you very much." She ended the call before looking at Miho. "Reinforcements are on their way to help the search."

"Thanks sis…" Miho nodded.

"Attention, this is an announcement to all of the Sensha-Do team, you've been excused from your afternoon classes for an emergency meeting, and all members are to assemble at the garages immediately!" Momo's voice echoed over the school's PA system.

"Miho, take the commanders to the garages, I'll be along shortly after I gather what little information we have from the records." Ami looked at her and Miho nodded before the others got out of their seats and joined her.

"Where's Commander Miho?" Yukari looked around not seeing their tank commander.

"Probably coming with the President from her office…" Mako yawned.

"Attention!" Yuzuko yelled calling the girls to attention as they arrived.

"Ahh!" Saori gaped as she pointed, seeing the group as they walked past them. "What are all of the different school's commanders doing here!?"

"All will be explained." Anzu looked around at them "By Commander Miho…" She gestured to Miho who gaped and flushed red a little.

"I uhh…" Miho should have known by now that Anzu would delegate it to her. "I have two announcements…" She looked around at all of the panzer crews. "…I'm going to ask you to hold all questions until I'm finished. First, the International Championship has been canceled." She bit her tongue as gasps and a murmur broke out. "Wait, hold on! There is a reason… the reason is, it would have overlapped the Summer Olympic Games. The reason for this is that Sensha-Do has been admitted once again to the summer games."

The girls fell silent before it finally clicked "WHA…!?"

A hand shot up from the ranks "It hasn't been in the summer games since the 1972 games, does this mean we're going!?"

"Possibly…" Ami spoke as she walked over "I have what remains of the records… all teams, we requested for this meeting, because we're going on another search for our Panzers. The records show that most of the panzers from the last Olympics used by Japan were aboard, we need to find them and assess what we have available to us, reinforcements from the other schools will arrive shortly. As we do so, we'll form search parties and go looking for the missing panzers."

"We had a hard enough time finding ours, what makes you think we'll find any more this time?" Noriko asked "Why can't we just use ours, and why are they here?" She pointed at the other commanders.

"Because the period limitations set by the National committee aren't what the Olympic committee has set. The panzers available are from anytime between 1930 and 1970." Ami looked around at them. "And according to the letter they sent to the Internationalcommittee, the matches could range from anywhere between 30 and 40 panzers. We can assume that the other nations will be bringing the very best they have available to them, which outclasses the vast majority of our panzers. The other schools' commanders are here because they were requested to take part on the Olympic team, and will be responsible for choosing the team's remaining members." She flipped open the records "According to the records, the mystery about our Porsche Tiger has been solved… it was one of the missing Olympic panzers used by Japan in 1968's games."

"You mean our Tiger P was used in the Olympics!?" Satoko gaped realizing the panzer she commanded during the finals, had last been used in the Olympic Games.

"There are many more supposedly, but…" Ami turned the notebook around. "The records were damaged in a small flood and we don't know what else we have… or where they are…"

"Kay!" A girl's voice yelled as the screech of tires caught their attention, when a jeep skidded to a halt near them.

"Great you guys made it in time!" Kay smiled at Naomi and Alisa, the second and third in command of Sanders Sensha-Do team, before a defining sound echoed around them as the wind picked up, a pair of ropes dropped down from a helicopter and one after another two units of girls in the Black Forest Peak uniforms slid down before forming up, and last down was the second in command of the school's panzers, Erika.

"Nonna!" Katyusha yelled and as if on cue she showed up.

"Orange be a dear and freshen up my tea…" Darjeeling smiled as she held out a cup and it was filled by her companion.

"Right, now that the reinforcements have arrived…" Ami looked around at the Ooarai teams. "…everyone pair up and start the search, report back if any of the missing Panzers are found."

"You expect us to walk around and search this place?" Anchovie gaped at her.

"Well I didn't say you had to walk…" Ami smiled before turning to Miho. "I think it will help the search go a little quicker, if you take the panzers."

Miho nodded. "All teams, to your panzers!" Suddenly the others were alarmed as all of Ooarai's units charged the doors. The rumble of the panzers' engines starting echoed in the garage as they began to pull out.

"Hey what about us!?" Erika glared at Miho as the Pz IV Ausf. H came to a halt along with the others just outside the garages.

"Well let's get going, we're supposed to go with their teams to not get lost, right…" Kay smiled as she gestured to Naomi and Alisa. "Dibs on the team with the M3!"

"We'll go with the Tiger P then!" Erika quickly made her way long with one of the Black Forest Peak units to the Tiger P.

"We'll go with the B1 then." Darjeeling smiled as she and Orange made their way to the French tank.

"I'm going with that Type 89 then." Anchovie marched over to it and climbed up, and took a seat on its turret.

"We'll go with the Hetzer." Katyusha quickly ran over to it with Nonna.

"Commander, we'll go with the Stug III Ausf. F." The second team from Black Forest Peak ran over to it.

Maho looked around at the tanks, all of them seemed full except one, the one right in front of her, the Pz IV Ausf. H. "I'm coming with you then…"

Miho blinked as her sister climbed up onto her tank and sat down next to the commander's hatch.

The hatch in front of them opened "The others are all ready Miho, we're awaiting your orders." Saori stuck her head out and looked up at the two.

Miho nodded and activated her throat mic "All teams, spread out and search, Panzer Vor!"

I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. As I said this is a back burner project that has been floating around in my head since I saw the series. I have a few chapters written but I'll try to keep it to a schedule considering the main project I'm working on is the 8 part mass crossover of all of the military universes of the Gundam meta with a few exceptions. *groan*

"No groaning!" Katyusha bellowed as she kicked Ald's back. "Nonna I need more cookies!"

"Yes Katyusha…" Nonna smiled at her as she walked over and placed the tray on Aldaeus's head for Katyusha to partake of.

"Katyusha likes cookies!" Katyusha smiled as she referred to herself in the third person before taking a large chunk out of a thumbprint cookie getting blue icing on her cheeks in the process. "See you next time, bring me some presents while you're at it!"

Nonna smiled as she jotted down in a book to remember to get Katyusha presents between chapters.
