Alfenheims Warlords (a SAO fanfic)

Chapter 4

Sinon wasn't even mad when she respawned and made her way to the bar she usually went to. She was just in awe that Kommando293 had somehow pulled off a win from nothing and as she sat down and got a drink, she sighed as she then gave a smile.

Was she mad that she had lost? Absolutely, it drove her up the wall and made her want to blow his head apart with her rifle, just like when Kirito had done the same to her in the Bullet of Bullets prelims.

But as she took a sip of her virtual drink, she couldn't really be mad at him for some reason. He had been a skilled player, already, and unlike Kirito, he knew his way around the block, so-to speak. Perhaps him being a veteran player is the only reason she couldn't be fully mad at him.

But as she thought more about it, she then gave a sigh and put her scarf around her face as usual as she then muttered quietly to herself for a compromise on the matter, "He only got lucky... I'll get him next time.."

And so, with the whole thing resolved for now, she sat as she looked around the bar when then she heard something loud and big park itself by the bar and as she heard it turn off, she then looked to the door to see a somewhat tired Kommando293 slowly make his way towards the main bar as he sat down and seemed to slump in his chair.

She almost gave a sigh but as she looked at him, she then decided to introduce herself to him instead of just stay an unknown enemy to him. besides, if they met again on the battlefield, she would find some satisfaction in having him know who will kill him. And so she got up from her table as she picked up her drink and as she began to walk towards him, she overheard him mutter, "Boy... that girl knew how to handle herself.. fudge.. I got so lucky with that shot to miss.."

She popped up behind him and as she tapped his shoulder, he looked over at her as then he said, "Oh! It's you! Why do we keep meeting up like this?"

She shrugged as he took off his mask and as he put it down on the bar, he looked at her with his green eyes as he asked, "So.. are you going to ask me how I managed to dodge your bullet? If so, I'm just going to tell you now that it came down to sheer, dumb luck.."

She shook her head as she watched his words become translated next to her and figured having this up may do her some justice as she said, "No.. I came here to introduce myself to you."

"My name is Sinon... I'm.. I'm one of the best snipers here on the Japanese servers.." Kommando293 heard her voice become translated by a robotic voice and as he looked at his translation, he then looked at her as then he said, "Huh... Sinon? Interesting name..."

"Says the boy with Kommando and 293 for his name.." she pointed out.

"Its so common to see people have numbers or X's in the American servers it gets annoying... but, hey, at least I'm unique out here.."

"Still," said Kommando293 as he looked at her, "you have to be somewhat mad that I beat you in such a straight match."

She sighed as she sat down next to him. "I am... but you won square and fair..."

Kommando293 nodded and as he looked at the screen above him, he then asked her, "That was you who saw me wipe out those 50 players, wasn't it?"

"Eh?!" She looked at him in surprise. "Yes... but how did you know?"

"Umm.. lets see... I was truly guessing it was you, Sinon... but I think I remember after burying myself in the sand, you running along the opposite ridge and setting up.."

She looked at him and then he said, "What?"

"You AT-rifle only uses iron sights.. how could you have seen me from that far away?"
