Chapter 9: Blizzard Storm

"Here you go Katyusha."

"STOP TREATING ME LIKE A CHILD! YOU JUST WATCH WHEN KATYUSHA GROWS TO BE POWERFUL!"

"Okay." Nonna rolled her eyes at her commander's childlike tendencies. The two sat in the Katyusha's chambers, presiding over accuracy results of the recent exercise between Pravda and Chi-Ha-tan.

"How does Volga team's rating look?" The short statured girls asked, wiping the crumbs from her lips. Nonna brings up the paper.

"Sixty-seven percent hit ratio."

"That's better than last time, the teams are improving. When the next season comes, we shall be unstoppable!" Katyusha said proudly. Nonna cracked a small grin before overviewing the rest of the reports. Katyusha swung her legs from her high chair as she watched the tall amazon do her diligent work. She began to get bored, even though that she was the commander, all the administrative work was done by the Nonna or the logistics team.

"Ne.. Nonna?" Katyusha asked. The straight black hair whipped around as the light blue eyes stared in her direction.

"Hm?"

"Do-Do you have your laptop?" Almost immediately, Nonna dove under the table and emerged back with a laptop in hand, showing it to Katyusha and nodding her head. "Oh… that was fast."

"What do you want to do now?" Nonna asked as she powers on her laptop.

"Well… I want to get the T-43 but incompetents cannot work in Katyusha's favor, therefore I'm asking you for assistance."

"Let me log on and I'll be glad to help the commander in her epic quest."

"Yes… indeed it is an epic quest." Katyusha began to fantasize about the good times once she acquired the T-43, its weak armor, disappointing top gun and all.

"Okay, I'm on, send me an invite." Nonna said a she scrolled through her tank roster. "What's the plan here?"

"I'll be in the fabulous T-34-85 and you will be in the KV-85, and we will work in tandem to crush the enemy!" Katyusha said devilishly.

"So you want me to be your shield?" Nonna asked with a hint of confusion in her voice.

"NO! NO! You are a very valuable asset to this operation. I would never think about using you for my personal gains!" She watched as Nonna stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. In Nonna's head, she can already imagine Katyusha crying out to protect her from an incoming round and Nonna turning her tank and deflecting the blow.

"Sounds like a sound plan." Nonna finally said.

"Of course it is, it's flawless." Katyusha rebutted.

*WOT Loading screen music*

"Hm… Severogorsk."

"HA! This fits perfectly, I know where to go." As the countdown timer reached zero, Katyusha followed by Nonna moved towards the large bluff on the right side of the southern spawn. "Nonna! Lead the way!"

"Yes." The tall girl agreed. Her KV-85 was a force to be reckoned with, with a new 100mm gun that can dish out round after round, when left to her own devices, Nonna could probably win the battle herself. As she lumbered up the slope, red pings signaled enemy contacts. "Hm… Two M6's and a Jagdpanzer IV."

Katyusha clapped her hands together. "YES! THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!" Finally reaching the top, Nonna fired a round at one of the approaching M6's and receded back down to avoid counter fire. Katyusha did the same and struck at the German tank destroyer. This exchange continued on for a while until the three enemy tanks fell back behind the mound of snow. "Those cowards, we will show them."

Nonna moved forwards with Katyusha close behind her. Katyusha stopped and looked red highlights over the town. There was a pitch battle as friendlies and enemies duked it out over control of the settlement, the smoke rising from those who had followed. The distant bang of an artillery piece could be heard as well as the impact followed shortly. Turning the corner, one of the M6's fired at Nonna's hull, bringing it down. Without remorse, Nonna fired at it and watched it explode, she moved onto the next target.

"Very good Nonna! Keep crushing them!"

"If I have to do everything, you won't acquire the credits you need." Katyusha knew that the amazon was right, her plan wasn't all that cracked up to be. Without thinking, she sped ahead, overtaking Nonna in the column and rushed towards the other M6. Katyusha fired but the shell sailed over the American heavy which took the opportunity to fire back and struck the T-34's track, causing it to skid to the right, fully exposing its vulnerable sides.

"NONNA!" The short blond cried. Just as she saw the flash of the M6's gun, the white camouflage of Nonna's KV-85 braked in front of her and absorbed the blow.

"Go ahead, I'll absorb the fire." Nonna said calmly. Katyusha, her track now repaired positioned herself behind the KV's engine deck and fired at the M6, whose shots were being taken by the Russian heavy. One final shot from the T-34 put in an end to the M6 but Nonna's tank was heavily damaged.

"Wow… thanks Nonna." Katyusha said softly. Nonna shook her head and replied with.

"Now it's your turn to lead the way, I'll follow you." Katyusha's mouth morphed into a devilish smile as she cracked her knuckles and leaned into the screen. The two continued downwards towards the enemy flag, the enemy Jagdpanzer IV crept out of the brush but was quickly put down by the two Russian workhorses, but ultimately Katyusha was credited with the kill. The enemy line was faltering as they were pushed back from the town and the remainder were in a gulley in the center of the map. As the Eastern group headed towards the flag, the two commanders decided cutoff the retreating enemy forces and positioned themselves at the top of the gulley.

"Jackson to your left!"

"I see it, Sherman Fury to your right."

"I got him! Look out! Churchill VII heading towards us!"

"Katyusha, I'm going to reposition."

"Okay, I got this." The KV-85 left Katyusha's side and went out of her line of sight as she focused on the incoming British heavy. "Take this!" The Churchill was absorbing and bouncing all the shots that Katyusha threw its way, it was like an unstoppable monster though it didn't have much health left. Suddenly the Churchill fired and the round struck the T-34's ammo rack. "AH!" Katyusha yelped. Her tank was not able to reload at normal rate and at this point, the Churchill was pelting her with its own shellfire. "NONNA!"

As she watched her HP go down drastically, she gazed at the top right of the screen and saw the familiar white camouflage come barreling down the side of the gulley and into the Churchill. *SLAM!* the sound metal hitting metal followed by an explosion as the two tanks erupted into fireballs. As soon as that happened, Katyusha was taken back to the post battle screen. The screen read 'Victory!' and the amount of XP and credit's displayed. Looking at her research tree, her eyes began to glow and her mouth curved into a large smile.

"YES! I HAVE ENOUGH!" She cheered. Nonna peered from behind her computer and smiled. Without hesitation, Katyusha unlocked the Russian Tier 7 medium and spun around in her chair in excitement. On the other end, Nonna closed her laptop and stood up.

"Well, I better get these reports to the teams." She felt herself pushed back a bit and she looked down to see the light blue eyes and little arms wrapped around her.

"Thank you Nonna." The blond said softly. Nonna smiled even wider and responded with.

"Пожалуйста(Pozhaluysta, You're welcome)
