1. After the battle, you find the massive tank parked on Sakihama's base, still smoking and dented in various places, and dwarfing most other vehicles there.

And not long after, you find a video introduction waiting for you. The face on the other side of the video is a teenage girl, lightly bandaged on a few places with light bruises showing here and there.

"Hi all. My name is Hikari Shimamura, the pilot of Bahamut Metalia. That's the giant tank you see on the hangar. Say hello, Metallder."

A cut in shows the tank. A calm-sounding voice replies.

"Hello."

Hikari then continues.

"We've been fighting the Beast of Starmind for a while now, but usually their activity were limited around our hometown of  Asayajima. How they appear a long way from there caught us off guard."

Bahamut Metalia's voice follows.

"Yes,it is quite a disconcerting thought."

Hikari continues again.

"After some discussions by a lot of people, it's been decided that Bahamut Metalia should be attached to Unity Group for easier deployment in case the Beast of Starminds appears again some other places, since eventhough he is very strong and though, Behemoth Metalia isn't really made for fast travel."

Bahamut Metalia's voice replies again calmly."

"It's Bahamut."

 Hikari cheerfully bows out of the video.

"Please take care of us!"


2. At the place designated for Bahamut Metalia, you can see some teens hanging out, completely dwarfed by the giant land battleship. One of them is Hikari, she's sitting on a small turret located at the lower part of Bahamut Metalia's hull, still bandaged on a few places, her legs are swinging back and fro.

"That was reckless as always, Hikari Shimamura."

A cold-sounding girl with black hair and unamused expression leans at Bahamut Metalia's track, cleaning up her pilot goggles with some piece of felt cloth.



"Yes! I cant  believe you used Gravity Burst Slash again! I thought you've promised that you'll never use that again!"

A boy shakes his fist and berates Hikari. It seems that he's been doing this for a while.



"Sheesh, why do you have to nag me all the time, Katsuhiko? I know I promised, but it was an emergency, alright? Bahalia, back me up here."



"I wash my metaphorical hand out of this, Hikari. Please, please don't involve me on this." Bahamut Metalia's calm voice resonates from the tank. You can almost sense... fear out of it? It then continues it conversation that was interrupted by Hikari's request. "And Shoji, as you see from the reports, the output of my Hellbore Cannon is satisfactory, but the recharge rate is indeed dangerously slow. Can't you do something about it?"

 

And the last youth is chuckling at the others' conversation, before continuing his work on his laptop that's connected to Bahamut Metalia. Some other technicians are working at various places of Bahamut Metalia's hull, but the youth seems to be directing them.

"I can't do much about it, Metalia. It's part of your original design. But maybe if we replace your main plasma capacitor with some smaller parallel capacitors..."

(Feel free to join all of them in this scene, or catch one of them specifically a bit later after this conversation end and they're doing their own stuffs.

Also, some might recognize the black haired girl as the heir of Tachibana Corporation, one of Japan's bigger company. And some, though it'd be rarer,  might recognize the last  youth as Shoji Matsuyama, a relatively well-known genius youth that's been refusing all request to join some top level university and corporations in the world, and the grandson of Daisetsu Matsuyama, a retired famous scientist. But maybe you don't.)

You kids sure are a handful, aren't you.

[Said someone who can't be much older than everyone gathered. But Chris does her best impression of a cool and experienced veteran.]

I can tell this isn't the first time you tackled a big monster like this.

Sorry to interrupt... but there is one thing I would like to know.

...Did one of you build it?
megamipurple: (Or maybe you're not)

From: [personal profile] megamipurple


Under a mountain...?

[This just gets even more ridiculous the more she hears about it.]

So, if the late professor was responsible for your current form, what of your original builders?

From: [personal profile] yassaimossai



It's true, you saw what I can do.

Who makes tanks that are so huge?
megamipurple: (Let me think)

From: [personal profile] megamipurple


Amnesia, then...

[Nod.]

I know how difficult that is. On the other hand, you seem to be doing well regardless.

Not only did you finish off Dojo...Doujin...mh...the Turtle... but that mountain, too. I've not seen anything like that last attack.

...What?

[A girl they might have seen on TV walks in on it from a different part of hangar stops dead in her tracks, looking between the kids.]

Some huge, huge Russians walks up to Bahamut and Hikari.

Silently, they stop and stare. With their Russian Bear Stares.
yassaimossai: (Whoa!)

From: [personal profile] yassaimossai


Buried under a mountain? So it's an ancient giant tank?!

Re: 2


No. I'm just not used to people talking casually about designing superweapons away from any kind of government oversight.
megamipurple: (Ehehe)

[A bead of sweat rolls down the side of the goddess' face.]

Um. Then...the wings...and hitting the enemy head on...

Those were your ideas too?

[Big Nep doesn't know what to think here, other than the fact that this is a very dangerous girl.]
yassaimossai: (Maximum levels of smug)

From: [personal profile] yassaimossai


You'd think people notice if it really happened.

Still...

[Chris looks the massive tank up and down.]

This is kinda cool.

I've seen a lot over the last year. But a gigantic, sentient tank is still a new one.

"Greetings," Alexis replies, then falls silent.

"Who are you?" Sasha asks Bahamut and Hikaru.

[Grimlock looks up at the tank with his arms folded. He's trying so very hard not to be impressed to the point that if he looked human he'd probably be pouting.]

Me Grimlock... want to know... how long... you fight... turtle thing.. and others... like it.

Hi...And I didn't think anything illegal was going on. It just sounded like something from a comic book.

So a young lady and an advanced bit of machinery, working together?

It's almost like looking into a mirror, wouldn't you say Elma?



I'm not so sure. After all, Miss Hikari's definitely a lot younger than-

[BONK. Selena's fist crashes into the top of the Subot's head.]



Actually you may be onto something Elma. Bahamut Metallia's probably a lot sturdier than you too.

At any rate, it's a pleasure to meet you two. Welcome to the Unity Group!
cloningblues: (talking part two)

From: [personal profile] cloningblues


The combination. I never saw a tank that's so big, and I never saw a tank that can talk. Only robots. Alien robots.

From: [personal profile] yassaimossai


Uberpanzer? Just how many names does he have?
cloningblues: (talking)

From: [personal profile] cloningblues


I see what you mean. Though I wonder why'd someone put an AI into a tank. It doesn't bother you that you don't have arms?
cloningblues: (my ulcer is acting up again)

From: [personal profile] cloningblues


Reminds me of a certain someone...

So, who exactly made you, Shin Omega Tank?
