Tier 2: Twilight

Finally, I can move on” Twilight moaned as the clock struck 2 a.m. After grinding through a couple more battles of about the same quality, Twilight had finally gotten the last package researched.

“Now, I can get the Pz.II” Twilighy yawned out as she clicked the buy button, then the confirmation button, getting a pop-up congratulating her on buying a new tank.

“Awesome! Now I just need to test it out.” Twilight groggily choked out while clicking the battle button. A quick sip of coffee later and the loading screen had started displaying both sides that would be pitted against each other, snapping Twilight back into reality.

Provkarovka was Spelled out on the top of the screen, and as Twilight looked at the map, it seemed much less complicated than the name.

“So it’s just a big field with a hill?” She asked no one in particular.

“Well then this should be easy!” She exclaimed pushing her tank forward as it sped across the open plain.

She noticed some other unique tanks with triangles and boxes for icons, so enamored with playing she had forgotten their meaning. Before she had a chance to think about it very much however the sound of spotting ribbons being awarded jerked her back into the game.

Twilight was then brutally barraged by nearly everything the opposing team had to offer, even getting hit from things she couldn’t see. Panic rose as she desperately tried to evade the incoming fire, almost making it to the other side of the ridge until...

Artillery broke across her tank, it exploded in glorious fashion, nuked from the sky before she got to fire a single shot.

Twilight muttered while returning to garage. Once there she was pleasantly surprised she could purchase another tank, this one with the triangle symbol instead of a clear diamond. Clicking purchase on the Panzerjager 1 she carefully read the details of the class before it instantly clicked in her mind.

“So I just sit back and camp behind my team? Easy!” She exclaimed whilst hitting the battle button again.

El Haluf read the text on the top of Twilight’s screen naming a large, desolate, seemingly desert like valley with a small village highlighting the center. A path to the north obscured by several sandstone outcroppings creating the perfect battleground for heavys and mediums.

Twilight already had her destination in mind, a small hill at the top of a switchback road leading down the cliffface of a mountain in her corner of the map.

She arrived there relatively quickly as an M2 Light scuttled past her and down the road, only to miscalculate and drive straight off the edge of the road, plummeting toward the certain doom of the dark blue water below.

Moments later a message popped up reading, in green text, "xxxgamergirlxxx drowned".

Groaning in frustration Twilight focused on her first victim, directly across the valley on a post similar to the one on Twilight’s left lay a Uc-2pdr. Clicking the fire button as fast as Twilights giddy little hooves could touch the mouse, shots rang out from her tank and struck home destroying the minuscule vehicle in a measly 3 shots.

“Ha, that wasn’t so hard.” Twilight cockily laughed, before realizing the danger to her friendly Pz.II on the opposite side of the valley. An FT-BS, an K. Housenka and an M2 Light all charged her poor ally. She managed to put The Housenka down but the FT went unspotted and the M2 went dashing down the slope.

“Well, there goes my targets.” Twilight sighed as she watched them disappear.

4 minutes of uneventful camping Twilights snoring was stopped by the sound of her tracks being blown off. She quickly woke from her power nap and was shocked to find herself as the last member of her team, and the M2 rapidly approaching her rear flank.

Acting quickly, she pulled herself behind the hill and awaited the M2, blissfully unaware of the doom approaching her from above.

BOOM! Twilight’s poor husk of a tank burst into flames, destroyed by the very FT she’d failed to kill earlier.

So infuriated at the thought of artillery ruining her day for the third time, Twilight woefully resigned herself to sleep, passed out on her keyboard.
