So... I only made this for fun, and becuase this blew up very fast, I'll continue to do more chapters as long as i have time, and ideas, which I currently do not have. School has just been fucking with me, taking my special time to write everyday. I am also new to fanfiction, nearly bad at plot making and English is not my main language.

Anyways, please leave a review, I need opinions, ideas, constructive criticisms so I could make the chapter I will make next time be refined and enjoyable to the readers.

I might have to timeskip the battle with sloth and most of the sanctuary events because this fanfic is set too far from the past, and the second part of s2 will be released next month.

Also, here is the list of Subaru's weapons.


Weapons:

AK-12 (I switched it, much more modernized and used for the elite units of the Russian Army.)

Glock 18C (auto and semi)

MG3 (Not the 34, 42.)

the L115A3 Sniper Rifle

Vehicles:

Mi-24 (attack, transport helicopter)

BTR-80A

Leopard 2A7


I've said it before and I'll say it again: Please leave a review, I need opinions, ideas and constructive criticisms to make the future chapters more refined and enjoyable to the readers.


"Uwah! What is that?!" Puck screamed.

Subaru looked at Puck, he answered. "This, Puck, is a tank."

Puck floated to the tank curiously, he looked around the vehicle and replied. "This is a very weird tank, infact, it even left a trail!" Puck said while looking at the road where the Leopard had drove on. Puck returned to look at the tank. "Also, how does this work Subaru? And what is this long thing in the front for?"

"Puck, this works by a turbine engine and a couple of ther things, that one. I'll explain later. Also, this is used for combats too."

"So this thing is used for combat? Where are the cannons?" Puck said.

While Subaru got on the tank and opened the driver's hatch, he spoke. "When we go in a field, I'll explain." He then entered it and then sat on it. Puck floated closer to where Subaru is, he then dived down inside and found the contols.

Puck didn't understand what was the purpose of the controls, so he asked while inside, his voice echoing. "Subaru, what are these things? I do not understand them, nya~"

Subaru grunted as he adjusted himself at the seat. "They're driving controls."

Subaru now finally now started to move the Leopard, his feet pressing at the pedal. "Subaru. How does this move? I sense no mana interference at all."

"A special kind of liquid called 'oil'." Subaru explained while his eyes were at the sights infront of him.

While they were driving the Leopard, Emilia was still outisde, watching the MBT move. "Um... did you guys forgot me?" she said.

The Leopard stopped, Subaru's head popped out of the seat, while Puck floated outside. "Sorry about that, also get in by getting to one of the hatches like this, on the turret behind me." Subaru explained.

"Okay..."Emilia replied.

Subaru added something. "And, do not touch anything in the place, I doubt that'll not end well."

Subaru stared at Emilia while she was climbing the metal behemoth, her footwear clanking to the metal. Subaru wanted for her to sit in the commander's seat so he got out of the hatch. Emilia was already at the top of the Leopard, she was looking between the hatches of the commander and loader. Subaru spoke from behind. "Emilia-tan, I prefer for you to sit here." He pointed to the commander's hatch.

"Unlike the other hatches in this 'tank', what is this for?" Puck asked, while Emilia was opening the hatch.

Subaru helped Emilia to enter the tank, while he was doing it, he answered. "This is the commander seat, or to put it simply, the leader seat."

Emilia now adjusted herself in the seat, it was compact but comfortable enough if you get used to it. "This is kind of..."

Subaru continued Emilia's sentence. "Tight? That's how these things are supposed to be, low-profile means tight spaces."

Subaru continued to explain. "There are things like this that are wide and big , but they don't work effectively, as they were target practice for flying things." Emilia replied with a nod.

Subaru got on to his hatch and continued to move to the backyard (or field) of the Roswaal Mansion, which was large enough for the sounds of the Leopard firing from the opposite side be weak enough to not wake up the residents of the mansion. Emilia, who was standing at the comannders hatch, was astonished on how it didn't need any dragons to move it.

Puck was also amazed but tried his best not to be to make Subaru proud of himself. Unfortunately, curiosity got the best of him again. "Subar-"

"I know what you are asking, the turbine engine makes power, causing the tracks on the sides move, which makes this thing finally move." He explained.

Subaru also added. "And because you asked, you're amazed aren't you?"

Puck was exposed. "Ghk! Damnit, you found about it." The Great Spirit sighed and admitted. "Yes... I am amazed..."

"Anyways, for the explanation of the barrel... It's for firing projectiles."

"Just like bows and crossbows?"

"Yes but it can penetrate metal."


"Barusu, what is this?"

"Nee-sama?!"

Subaru sighed, and answered the maid. "This is a tank."

Ram looked throughout the Leopard, a voice spoke up, a very familiar voice. "Subaru, why did we stop?"

Ram looked back to Subaru, who sat at the driver seat again. "Barusu, why is Emilia-sama in the 'tank'?"

"H-hold on nee-sama." Subaru excused. He answered back to Emilia, who was on the commander/gunner position. "Sorry Emilia-tan, Ram-chi is here and asking me what is this."

Subaru looked back to Ram, who had her face shocked after Subaru made fun of her name. "Alright Ram-chi. I was using this thing, when I closed the gate, Emilia-tan approached me, and asked what is this. I explained everything, and the rest is history."

"That still doesn't explain how Emilia-sama got here."

"Just please stop asking, it's irritating me."

Ram ignored him, she now spoke to Emilia. "Emilia-sama, a candidate rival's envoy is going to arrive the mansion soon to have a meeting with you. You must ready yourself as it is very important."

Emilia frowned by the talk, but decided to get out of the Leopard and follow Ram. "H-Hold on, can I go too?" Subaru spoke.

Emilia stopped and turned to him. "Sorry, you shouldn't follow me because everything that has to do with the selection is very important."

Emilia looked back to Ram, and continued to follow her to the mansion. Subaru sighed, he then talked to himself. "I guess I have to park this somewhere."

Subaru looked around, he then muttered to himself. "Where though?"


Meanwhile at a carriage, a red carriage. "Old Man Wil, why did we go to the Mathers Mansion again?"

The person who was driving the carriage was Wilhelm, who had a butler suit. "We are going to meet another candidate Felix."

"Oh!... that." the catgi- no, catboy, or also known as Felix, with his nickname as Ferris replied.

The ground suddenly shook slowly, the branches and leaves were now shaking, hitting eachother. "What's happening?" Felix said, he countinued. "Normally before an earthquake happens! I always go crazy and lose control of myself." Felix explained.

They continued to roll down the dirt road, not stopping even the ground shook. And as they have passed the gate, a hing was steamrolling down the green yard of the Mathers Mansion. Both pairs of eyes widened, Felix spoke first and shouted. "What the hell is that thing?!"

A head was sticking out of the thing, it was Natsuki Subaru, driving the thing, or the Leopard. "Let's go, Leo-tan!" he commanded, Subaru named the Leopard 'Leo-tan.

"Who is that?" Wilhelm asked.

Felix now replied. "I think that was the boy Emilia-sama was talking about."

Wilhelm asked in curiosity. "What did Emilia-sama talked about?"

"Emilia-sama asked us by a letter to heal the boy because his gate was damaged yesterday, and by pure coincidence Crusch-sama asked us to visit the Emilia Camp to discuss things about the Royal Selection." Felix explained.

"Hm..." Wilhelm muttered.

They finally reached the entrance of the mansion, the carriage stopped and parked. The catboy, who dressed himself as feminine hopped out of the carriage. Felix walked away and now said his goodbyes. Felix waved his hand. "Goodbye Old Man Wil, see you later after the meeting!"

"Goodluck." Wilhelm replied.

Wilhelm then took out a cloth, a plain cloth. He then looked around the carriage, Wilhelm then cleaned the red-colored carriage, making the surface be a mirror. He stopped cleaning and looked to his left, Subaru was looking at him with a smile, he then let a nervous chuckle and got out from the side.

"You must've felt alone here, how about to take a chat with a cup of tea?" Subaru said.

Wilhelm looked at the boy before looking at the tray which had cups, which had tea. Subaru poured tea on a cup, Wilhelm then took the cup and took a sip of the cup, he then complimented the drink. "This tea tastes good, and by the looks of it, expensive too."

Subaru placed the tray on a nearby fountain. "It is one of the most finest tea we have in the mansion." Subaru explained. He also continued. "And yes, it is also expensive. And when Ram finds about this, I'd doubt that the confrontation between her and me would go end well."

"Is she a fellow maid too? If she is, you and the maids of this mansion have a very complex relationship." Wilhelm said.

Subaru replied. "We actually have a complex relationship. Ram's always the one who'll dump all of her problems, she even held a grudge to me after waking her up." He continued. "Then, her sister, Rem. She's actually fairly nice, sometimes complimenting me."

"And as compensation for giving me the finest tea in the mansion, what do you want?"" Wilhelm asked.

Subaru answered. "I just want to know why you're here, I've heard about you and Emilia-tan having a meeting but what meeting?"

Wilhelm turned away from the boy, he then said. "I don't know what is your position in the mansion. So I will not disclose anything about the meeting."

Subaru frowned. "Aww."

Wilhelm looked back to the boy, he then added. "Also, with the name you add after Emilia, '-tan' what is that?"

Subaru answered. "Oh, that. It's a sign of respect in my own country."

Wilhelm then took another sip, he then spoke. "And with your actions, you are also a butler, right?"

Subaru confirmed this. "Yes, I am a butler of the Roswaal Mansion."

"As a butler, you seem really close to Emilia-sama." Wilhelm said.

Subaru looked surprised. "We are?"

"Yes, Felix also said the same too." Wilhelm said.

Subaru spoke. "Well, I took her on a date. It's probably that cause."

"A date?" Wilhelm asked.

Subaru answered him. "It's something along the lines of taking a girl outside with a man."

Wilhelm now finally realized. "You mean courtship right?"

"Courtship? Yeah, something like that." Subaru replied.

"I also gave her a crown of flowers, she actually looked beautiful." Subaru said. He asked. "Say, Mr. Driver, is your wife the most beautiful person in the world?"

Wilhelm stopped, and pondered about it. He smiled and gave an answer. 'Yes, my wife is the most beautiful person in the world."

A voice spoke. "Sorry for waiting Old Man Wil!"

"Oh, he's here." Wilhelm said. Subaru grabbed the tray, lifted up. Wilhelm placed his cup on the tray and looked to the origin of the voice.

It was a demi-human, a half-cat, half-human person. It wore a a dress colored with various shades of blue, followed with white. The ears of the cat-person twitched as he looked to Subaru. "Oh?"

The half-cat looked around Subaru, which he became extremely uncomfortable. "I- eh, uh..."

"Are you Subaru? The person Emilia talked about?" the person asked.

Subaru reassured himself for the uncomfortable moment earlier. "Y-yes, I am Subaru."

The cat now smiled, then said. "Goodbye now, Subaru. Let's meet again on the capital."

The half-cat now entered the carriage, the driver now hopped on the carriage and drove it away from the mansion, leaving Subaru behind holding a tray.


Subaru was now in a room, accompanied by Emilia and Ram, who was beside her.

"You're going to the capital not for fun!?" Subaru shouted.

"Yes, sadly." Emilia said. She continued. "But since you were accepted by the best healer in Lugnica, you can join in."

Roswaal joined in. "But we all forget something here why Subaru is joining u~s."

Everybody went silent, the half-elf now spoke. "Right! Subaru also has a thing called 'tank'... Did i say it right?" Emilia asked, she looked to Subaru, which he nodded.

She continued. "Subaru's 'tank' is also extremely fast, we could reach it in 4 days to the capital. We could use it as a means of transportation, but how many are the people allowed in the space?"

Subaru answered her. He rose up his hand and showed three fingers standing while the rest were retracted. "Three people, the commander, loader, and driver. Which means me, Emilia, amd Rem, who's and expert on driving."

Rem lightly blushed at the compliment. "So when will we depart Subaru-kun?" Rem asked.

"Just give me a dozen minutes and we will be ready." Subaru said.


The Leopard was now driving on the dirt roads of the Lifaus Highway, they were approaching Flugel's tree, making any person walking or rolling down the road with their carriages frightened or astonished. The person who was driving was Rem, she had a few incoviniences sitting down the seat because it was claustrophobic, but she got used to it anyways.

Subaru was standing on the commander seat, his chest, arms and head were poking out of the tank. He was wearing a full on Ratnik combat uniform, fitted with several pouches for magazines and grenades with a black neck gaiter underneath his chin. He also wore a helmet that was camouflaged, his AK-12 and an RPG-7 and rounds were placed at the rack and stowage behind him. (The gunner seat was replaced by a commander seat.)

Emilia was also standing on her position, her chest and head only poking out. She was wearing the clothes she wear when outside. It had colours of purple and white, she also had a golden-colored eagle at the end. She has an MG3 on the hatch but never used it. Rem was seating on the driver's seat, the hatch was also opened so Rem can see clearly from all sides.

Roswaal... That guy... yes... He had flown at the mansion earlier in supersonic speeds, meaning he had already arrived at the capital and booked a room in a nearby apartment. Ram was left alone, but was accompanied by another maid, Frederica Baumann. She was a long-time maid that had served Roswaal and trained the oni sisters. Subaru still does now know of this news yet.

Subaru looked to the left, which Emilia was positioned at. He then asked. "Uh... Emilia-tan... can I join you to appear in the castle?"

The half-elf groaned in annoyance. "Fine Natsuki Subaru, you can join me in the castle. After that, your gate would be healed."

His entire body turned to Emilia, his eyes sparkled. "Really?!" He said.

Emilia looked at the boy, who had his face filled with happiness. Her eyes widened, but came back in its normal size the second after. She smiled lightly, Emilia then said. "You are really that desperate for me to be on your side?"

Subaru chuckled. "Saying desperate makes me kind of bad, you know that?" he said. He continued. "Its more like in the word of 'worried'."

"Huh? Worried?" Emilia said. Subaru replied. "You see, it makes me worried that someone will try to hurt you again, like the incident on the loothouse."

Emilia went silent for a few seconds, she then spoke. "That's why you wanted to join me in the castle?"

"Y-Yeah..." Subaru stuttered. "Who knows, somebody like Elsa might infiltrate the castle and kill someone."

They all went silent, except for the humming of the turbine engine and the clanking of the gears of the suspension and tracks. Uncomfortable, Subaru tried to change the subject. "You know... we shouldn't speak about a possibilities of dying and then being worried."

He then looked to the tree, planted by Flugel hundreds of years ago. He pointed at it. "Emilia... this tree. Who planted the tree in the highway?" Subaru asked.

Emilia looked to the tree that Suabru pointed at."Oh, that?" She said. "That tree is planted by Flugel."

"Why though?" Subaru asked.

She replied. "Hmm..." Emilia then placed her index and thumb on her chin, she then answered. "I.. don't know."

"Probably for decoration. Were there any attempts on cutting down this massive tree?" Subaru said.

Emilia answered. "There was, but was unsuccessful as the tree was guarded by the knights when it was possible to do so."

They finally passed the Flugel tree, the base of the tree now receding on the horizon. It was still morning as they left an hour and half ago. Subaru looked to the sky, he placed an arm over his eyes, he saw that the sun was already at its highest. Subaru looked to Rem, who was driving the tank and having the time of her life. "Rem-san!"

Without slowing down, Rem shouted. "Yes, Subaru-kun!?"

"How does it feel to drive this thing?" The butler shouted.

"It feels uncomfortable at first, but Rem has finally gotten used to it!" Rem replied.

Subaru asked. "Having fun down there Rem!?"

"Yes!" Rem answered.

Subaru got down to his hatch, he then sat at it, placed his head on the sights. Subaru then turned the turret, surprising Emilia who was still outside looking the highway and the field. "What the!?-"

Subaru commanded the crew. "Alright everyone, prepare yourselves, this is going to be loud!"

Subaru then corrected his aim, he was aiming at a hill far away. Emilia was looking at the direction the cannon was pointed at, the butler now then remembered what the gunner was saying everytime. He then corrected his aim and then shouted. "Emilia! Even you have sound cancelling helmets. Please cover your ears for extra protection!"

Emilia did what he said, she placed her hands on her ears, even there was no need to do as she already had helmets, but with Subaru paranoid of her love becoming deaf, she did what he said.

The only thing that Subaru was hearing was whirring and the turret moving. Subaru then screamed. "Firing!" He then stepped on the button, which was on the floor. Subaru then fired and automatically ejected the casing to the basket. Emilia, who was srill on the outside, shrieked. "AH!~ Subaru, what was that!?"

Subaru ignored the question, he continued to look at the sights and then an explosion appeared. The dirt and grass were flung to the sky, before dropping back to the ground, Subaru then pressed a button, a button that is used to fire the machine gun next to the barrel. The belt of bullets were wobbling as they moved to the reciever, it generated smoke from the inside, before making its way outside.

The smoke was inhaled by Emilia, who coughed and flapped her hand infront of her face to avoid hitting her. Emilia's hair ruffled, a gray cat appeared. "Subaru, what happened?"

Subaru then turned the Leopard's turret again, back to its original position. He then stood up, his upper-half poking out of the Leopard. He then looked to his left, an Emilia who was spooked and a Puck whowas floating beside her, curious on what happened.

"Ah, Puck, remember what you asked back in the mansion?" Subaru said, feeling happy that he fired a tank once.

Puck then dived back to his memories, he remembered the time he asked what was the long barrel for. "Ah that? So this long thing is the one that exploded earlier?"

"Yes, what I did was I fired an HE round, or also known as High Explosive. It detonated once it touches a surface, this thing is also used in enemy infantry attacks and buildings." Subaru explained.

Puck then tried to explain it much clearer. "The HE round, is used for enemy persons and buildings? This thing is extremely deadly!"

"It is Puck."


HOW THE HELL DO I TYPE REM!?11!1!2!?

Okay! After a week, I finally finished a near 4000 word chapter. Its shit right? Yes, its shit. This is why I need reviews to make the future chapters better and possibly make the past chapters be remade into better ones.

I also ran into multiple writers block and boredom's during the development of this chapter. There is also a problem, Rem. This is a plot set after Subaru saves Rem, causing her to be free from her past self and her starting to fall in love with him. And I have no experience on fluffs (There is no shippings in this one.) And thats why I need help from fanfic writers of RemXSubaru. And like I said, there will still be no shippings but minor fluffs.

I will take a break from this fanfic until Season 2 or the Sanctuary events is finally finished. Leo-tan will probably left behind in the capital due to transmission breakdown, making Subaru meet with Otto Suwen (hes here!). Subaru's weapon will change from an AK-12 to a P90. His uniform will be his normal tracksuit. This is not yet confirmed but will be possible in the near future. I do not keep promises too.
