Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one on Valkyria Chronicles. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own VK, Sega, Ryutaro Nonaka and Shuntaro Tanaka do.

(Federation Base, 2 hours after battle of Fort Krest.)

Sergeant Alicio Durand looked around, leaning on his LF Wasp No. 1 Sniper as he did so, he had been assigned to Squad E… Which put him under the Command of Lieutenant Claude Wallace, Sergeant Raz, and his Commander of the Sniper part of the squad, Sergeant Major Kai Schlen.

Both Claude and Kai noticed him as they walked over, Alicio gave them a salute as they met him, he slung his weapon over his shoulder and looked at them from under the Standard issue all weather poncho given to Federation Snipers, tilting his cap into place.

"Sir, Ma'am."

Alicio said as Claude accepted his hand and shook it, Kai looked at him as she frowned, Alicio lowered his head, he remembered that Kai didn't like being referred to as 'Ma'am', he didn't know entirely why… But that was not something he questioned.

"Alicio, right?"

Claude asked as Alicio nodded, looked at Kai and then back to the Lieutenant.

"Yes sir, I was just transferred to Squad E, I was told to wait for you guys here… I'm sorry I wasn't able to join you guys at the fort…"

Alicio muttered as Claude nodded and turned to Kai as did Alicio as both turned to look at the sniper.

"Its fine, Alicio, this is Kai, Squad E's best sniper and their leader… If you have any questions I am not around for, you should ask Kai…"

Claude said as Alicio nodded, Kai looked Alicio in the eye, Alicio's Jade eyes looked into her greyish silver ones.

"I've heard… Do I follow you both or…?"

Alicio said with a wry smile as he heard more footsteps, Raz and a few of his Shocktroopers walked with him, Claude turned to them.

"So, this is the hotshot sniper I heard is going to be kicking ass on the team? Doesn't look like much."

Raz asked as Kai rolled her eyes, Alicio could guess Raz was of Darcsen decent, the hair gave it away.

"Least I don't need 20 rounds to do what 1 bullet can do, smartass… I wouldn't get the rank of Sergeant if I couldn't fight."

Alicio shot back as Raz blinked in shock as did Kai, Claude saw a small smirk appear on her face as Raz chuckled.

"Ok then, you got spunk, I like you… Raz, commander of the Shocktroopers on Squad E…"

Raz said as Alicio nodded and smiled under his cloak as he looked at the Shocktrooper.

"Alicio, second best sniper… At least, that's what the trainers I've had have told me considering they said Kai was the best in the Edinburgh Army…"

Alicio said which caused Kai to blush before Claude turned and looked away.

"C'mon, as much as I'd like to keep talking, we have to get prepared for the next mission, Kai, can you show Alicio where he has to be for the next mission?"

Claude asked as Kai nodded and turned to Alicio.

"Follow me."

She ordered and Alicio nodded and followed the Sniper Commander as Raz turned to Claude.

"Bet you 5 bucks he gets a crush on her within 3 missions…"

Raz said as Claude sighed and walked away as Raz turned to him.

"What? I was just joking, lighten up!"

Raz said as he followed the Lieutenant further into the base as Alicio turned to Kai.

"I'm guessing 'Ma'am' is not the right name to call you? I saw you look a bit annoyed when I call you that…"

Alicio said as Kai sighed, but smiled nonetheless, a sniper always had a good eye, it was their best weapon.

"It's complicated… I'm going to show you to the rest of the squad, since you're a Sergeant, you'd be my second for now… And since I outrank Raz, you'd be equal to him in rank…"

Kai explained as Alicio nodded and walked towards a group of snipers, Kai turned to Alicio as he looked over the others.

"Pleasure to be fighting the Empire with you, I'm Sergeant Alicio, and ill be the second in command of the snipers in Squad E… Least until I get killed in battle."

Alicio joked as Kai smiled and laughed, neither knowing what the war would bring them.

Author notes

Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know it isn't perfect, first chapters aren't my thing… As for Alicio? I will explain him more next chapter, Kai is my favorite on Squad E and I loved her story. Next chapter will be on Sunday and will show Alicio and Kai fighting in the battle of Reine. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: I will be doing Stories on Crymaria, Selvieria, Lydia and Nikola all from this game and the others in the series.
