Pones und Panzer

Metal took out his phone, calling his engineering team "Guys, we got work.. get the transporter up here, get the big one, this beast is heavy"

"Metal! Get over here!" Malachite called, walking towards the vine covered tank.

Metal walked over to malachite "Yes?"

"Look at this." Malachite said, approaching the tank covered in tangled vines.

Metal moved closer, removing some vines "This looks huge"

Malachite gulped and looked at the tank. "It's a Maus..."

"How did that thing get up here?" Metal asked, looking closely at the tank

"I don't know, but it looks like its been here for ages." Malachite said, climbing up to the open hatch at the top of the turret, she peered inside to see a skeleton 'staring' back at her. "Ah! Metal, there's a skeleton in here!"

"These tanks were left over from the great equestrian war" Metal said, opening the engine hatch of the maus, dust and rust comming out "The engine seems fine, just a bit rusty.. but the cannon is completely destroyed. The maus is a rare tank, I dont think we have the right parts"

"Should we take it back anyways? It could be valuable." Malachite remarked, climbing down from massive machine.

"Of course! Owning a rare tank like the maus is a big honor" Metal said, grabbing a tool from his belt and walking over to the Churchill tank "I think this thing still has a bit gasoline.." He said before climbing into the driver hatch and starting it up.
It made a loud noise, Metal gently pushed the gas and it moved forward. The weels were rattling loudly
"Its still able to move, thats a good sign.. but the steering is broken and the turret doesnt move" he said, poking his head out of the hatch

"We might need a tow truck for it then." Malachite said, approaching the smaller tank and examining the treads.

"Dont worry I already called my team" Metal said
A long truck driven by a grey mare aproached in front of them
"Hey sis! Finally! What took you so long?" Metal said, giving the mare a small hug "Hey lil brother! You know how hard it is to get this thing all the way up here?" she said, giggling a bit

Malachite smiled faintly and looked warily back at the Mays, as if she was worried for it.

"So, what did you find here?"
"We found a Churchill and a maus, both heavy damaged" Metal said
"A MAUS? Wow! Ive never seen one moving" she said, looking excitedly at the maus tank
Metal climbed back into the Churchill, carefully driving it on the truck

Malachite checked the drive train of the Maus. "This thing is completely busted, it's not gonna run."

Metal nodded and positioned the truck infront of the maus
"Thats the closest I can get, we have to push it up there, I released the breaks"

Malachite moved behind the Maus and began to push, she heard a metallic groan as the tanks treads began to roll slowly, inching towards the truck.

Metal and Iron pushed too, rolling the tank slowly on the truck

Malachite exhaled sharply as the Maus rolled to halt on the flatbed, and she wiped her forehead before affixing a chain to the chassis of the tank to hold it in place.

"Okay, lets head back" Metal said, getting into the truck

Malachite hopped onto the truck as well and waited for it to get moving.

Metal started it and drove back to the garages

Malachite hopped down from the truck and approached the Churchill, looking at it closely. "Why does this thing look so flimsy?"

Metal drove the tank off the flatbed and on a hydraulic ramp, opening the engine hatch
"Flimsy? The churchill is one of the best british tanks"
