She was not going to ask how Pinkie Pie got juice boxes of that particular brand, nor was she going to ask where exactly the pink haired menace had the boxes considering she arrived at the abandoned hangar -well, not so abandoned now- with nothing except presence. Sunset Shimmer also, wisely, decided not to ask Pinkie how she knew she liked that particular blend of pineapple and coconut. In fact, Sunset Shimmer hasn’t been able to drink it since before she transferred to her new home Canterlot City. It was a remnant of her past life since she used to drink something very similar in flavor back at the castle; something that the chefs and staff really liked to drink considering it tasted very tropical and was fresh and refreshing. Now, it was one of the few things Sunset had that made her feel a little connected to her previous life as the Princess personal student, to be fully sincere, she truly enjoyed the flavor now.
Thinking about Canterlot didn’t really bring much nostalgia or a sense of longing from Sunset Shimmer these days, which was odd because not too many years ago, the idea of returning and showing Celestia how great and powerful she was simply… left her mind. Sure, she sometimes wondered how things were back home on the admittedly antiquated world of Equestria, but it was just for a few seconds before something else got her attention, usually something to do with tanks.
These days, due to what happened at the Blue Medal Cup, brought back memories of Equestria and instead of thinking on her plans of conquering that world, now she thought more of what Princess Celestia would have said to her; maybe try to cheer her on or maybe give her some vague hit and mysterious words for her to think and reflect on what happened. Either way, Sunset was sure that Celestia would have said something or would try to do something; that is if she wasn’t too occupied with her new and shining new student.
She wasn’t bitter, just a little melancholic and the sight of the neglected M3A1 only made her think more on those happy memories she had before running away. Now here she was, drinking from a juice box alongside 24/7 herself and her non-stopping mouth, hence the nickname. Thankfully, the show in front of her wasn’t that bad, so that was a plus on her book.
What was so funny? Well, looking at Rainbow holding onto a chain and trying with all her might to bring the M3 Honey into the sun for the first time in years. It was hilariously obvious that even with the strength of an athlete like Rainbow; there was no way in heaven or hell that will allow a single girl to move a monster of metal like the M3. It was even more ridiculous due to the fact that the tank haven’t moved in years and had more problems than simple painting or bullet impacts. Sunset could already see several problems with the metal plates and there was no way that a single human being will be able to move something of that weight on those conditions. Was Sunset going to tell her that? Hell no, this was too fun to make it stop.
“…and that’s when I said ‘oatmeal? Are you crazy?’”
“When do you think Rainbow will notice we brought a crane?”
“Oh, by the time she notices we returned and been drinking juice this whole time.”
“Has she always been like this? I mean, I don’t know her as much as you girls since you’ve been together for at least several years, right?”
“Oh no, I’m not from Canterlot, I was born in Granite Quarry.”
“And where the hell is that place?”
“Oh, right in the Middle of Nowhere, no, wait, there is a new town at the north so is now at the South of Nowhere, they changed the name a year ago,” just by the look of pure sincerity and frankness, Sunset decided to take that on face value instead of breaking her head trying to understand what Pinkie Pie had just said. She was saved further headaches by the arrival of someone Sunset wasn’t expecting.
“What is that thing doing here!?” The usually uptight and slightly somber vice-principal said articulating wildly in the direction of the M3 that haven’t moved an inch. Rainbow at this point was on the floor panting in exertion.
“I don’t know, you tell me, you work on this place,” Sunset wasn’t being facetious, well, she was, but this time she wasn’t. Vice-Principal Luna meanwhile, had to blink several times due to the shock of having her question bounced back on her. Behind her, Rarity had to elbow Applejack right in the stomach as the blonde girl was about to start laughing “If you mean Rainbow, I think she is trying to move a very neglected tank; if it is about the tank, I have no idea, I mean, isn’t this your school? Shouldn’t you know why the tank is here?”
“I’m not talking about Miss Dash here and about that tank; it was used before I even started to work on this school. What I know is that the previous Sensha-do club left it here after their last lost. What I wanted to ask, is what exactly is this whole notion of you and your friends trying to revive the Sensha-do club Miss Shimmer.”
“I don’t know; ask those friends of mine, I’m just here to see how it goes,” Vice-Principal Luna stood there blinking some more due to how calm Sunset Shimmer was, it was quite perplexing for someone who was capable of making even the most problematic of kids in the school get in line with just a look.
“Well, this very same group of friends just brought the news to the office that you lot are planning on getting the Sensha-do club active once more, I just came to see if that was true.”
“Indeed it is, besides, is not like if we could get worst results than the other teams in the school, right?” That was a loaded question and Luna will not dignify herself on answering it.
“I am not questioning results, present, future or past; what I am questioning is this idea of reviving a dead club. Miss Shimmer, the club was shut down because it didn’t have enough members and for a Sensha-do club, five people are not enough for you and your friends to revive it.”
“So you are saying that we need more people then?”
“That and more tanks, so until you are capable of doing that, I am afraid that the decision of the school is that the Sensha-do club will remain shut down, good afternoon,” and with that, the dark haired woman turned around and began to walk away with the other girls gawking at what she had said. This was very interesting for Sunset who smelled something about the whole exchange. This seemed more than just bureaucracy to her, it was as if Vice-Principal Luna was actively trying to keep the club dead. Interesting.
“Well, ain’t that just dandy; what are we supposed to do then and… why are ya smilin’ that way Sunset?”
“Because she just didn’t say that we cannot open the club, what she said is that we need more members before she can make it official.”
“I’m pretty sure you are pulling at strings here darling, but if what we need is lawyering to get our new club re-instated -my word, isn’t that just an oxymoron- then let’s go ahead with what you are planning. Just, a question darling, what are you planning?”
“Pinkie, how many people in our school can you find that want to be part of Sensha-do?” what came next was probably the world record in speed texting.
more more more *evil laugh*
Ok getting very intresting thou wondering what happen to make Sunset want to give up piloting tanks and all more thenever at the time.
At the rate your going with Equestria Girls Und Panzer, will it be its own separate fanfic like A Lost Crystal Gem and A Pony at Hogwarts?
Why oh why are you having Sunset give them idea's, I thought she DIDN'T want to get back into all this, so why would she help them?
Things are picking up
I've just read upon the tank in question...
The M3 Stuart tank nicknamed "Honey" because of its speed and fiability...
Well, that's all it has. A 37 mm cannon, 3 machine-guns, a turret means for 2 people and a crew of 4...
I'm not even talking about its armor since it's a light tank...
You really need another tank for the EG mane 6 or select two or three other tanks.
By the way, who should enter the new sensha-do club?
Although she's perhaps too Young i would see Applebloom (which of course mean the entire rooster of the cutie mark crusaders... everybody out of the universe..!)
Hum... Lyra and Bonbon..? Trixie..? The Wonderbolts..? I'm no too sure.

Is like with Miho and why she changed schools, is part of the plot.
8376884
I have no idea, but I have been having such a blast writing about this world that is possible.

First because Fluttershy and the rest needed her help so she was grudgingly putting the effort to get the club up, now she has an extra motivation in trolling Luna and everyone around that says she cannot revive the Sensha-do club.
8377991
And that's why I put it there, the Honey is basically useless in Sensha-do since it was mostly used in numbers, but in a 5 vs 5 battle or similar, it is useless beyond recon. About the teams, yes, Trixie and her group maybe, Lira and BonBon I'll think about them. One team is ready, just imagine this, Derpy driving and Pinkie on command of that tank. Let your imagination fly.

Human Fluttershy must have used an Alternate version of the Stare on Sunset to get her to agree to do that then. Also Luna said they would need more then one tank to get that club up and running and the School won't pay for more tanks, heck the tank is worth more as scrap metal I bet, and since the tank is property of the School then Celestia and Luna can decide what to do with the tank.

MMMMMMM I see i see....Hmmmmm...MMMMMMMMM....I got no idea, i never heard of this series let alone seen or read the manga tily recently.

In the original GuP, the main character Miho left her high school due to something that happened in a Sensha-do match and she left tankery behind; something similar happened and although the story of miho was told in a prequel manga, in this one the characters will talk about it.
8378075
Is more like Fluttershy was part of whatever happened to make Sunset leave Sensha-do behind. Something that is never really well explained is how Sensha-do works and how clubs get their money, now these things will be explained, talked upon and much more important this time around. Infact, next episode deals with that.
8378231
Then that means that Fluttershy was also from the same School that Sunset had been at BEFORE coming to CHS, after all Sunset came to CHS after finding out it didn't have a "Sensha-do" club anymore.

No comments on Applebloom and the Crusaders?
Derpy and Pinki Pie...
You're either a Genius or completely insane...
They're going to revolution Sensha-do: The school of "Reality Warping Tanking" or Something like that.
"How could they hide a bucking MAUS behind a tree!!!??"
"Yeah, and how could they somehow teleport, a light tank mind you, right INSIDE one of our heavy tanks!!!???"
Honestly im rather hopeing this spins off likesome of the others.
