Alfenheims Warlords (a SAO fanfic)

Chaoter 55

Two weeks of training and practicing all seemed to blur together for Sinon as she did her best to not get yelled at by Theodosius or some of the other Ranger Generals of the Squadron as she passed course after course, some being a breeze like fighting but others barely scraping by like using tactics in groups of people as a leader for fireteasm, squads, and platoon.

But evneutally came the day that she was no logner running around the Victory Square with the recuits and being given not only her rifle back but also her new Ranger gear armor. She didnt know how to feel but pride as Kommando walked up and down the ranks of the Ranger recruits and veterans as he congraduated them and handed them their gear as he soon finished by standing before the formation with his Generals as they all stood in front of the statue.

"Alright boys and girls... today you have become apart of the Ranger Squadron... but today, we also have a day to rpove of what we can do now we are coming back into the light."

"Currently, we've managed to find a rather troublemaker Sqaudron running around the wasteland attacking new Squadrons left, right, and center... Normally, PvP is not discouraged here.. but we have suspicions from some blogs and of course people around us that these guys maybe more nefarious..." said Kommando293 as he looked over eveyrone.

"The Squadron in question are the Beater Wolves... we've done some digging and some snooping around with help and we've come up with 3 locations of their hideouts in the Wasteland.. and their current numbers are about equal to ours..."

"We have some advantages. First off, a lot of Squadrons have been wanting to get back at them... so we can call upon a lot of beginning allies to help us if we need them for anything.. and from what ive managed to gather, they are not competitive enough to take part in Squadron Wars... which means they have little in the way of assets."

"Now comes the Trial of Fire all Rangers take on their way to becoming one of us... as of today, as of right now... We go to war with the Beater Wolves." said Kommando293.

As he said, that, Theodosius came forward and said, "While we will be getting more people to help us, we've already divided everyone here in various corps and groups under the Generals commands.. obviously, some of you will  be under our direct command and others are beign promoted to being leaders in the field.."

A couple hologrpahic notices popped up before everyone and Sinon saw she was stuck in the command squad that was really just her and Kommando293 but as she looked at the other parts, she saw how they divided up the groups of Rangers between the commanders. There was 50 Rangers under SpartanHalo as they would be the base and core of the Squadrons grunt power. 10 were with Theodosius to power the only 2 tanks the group had, 5 were going into the Jet Generals group to pilot various planes, 10 more were becoming Medics, 10 were becoming helicopter pilots and gunners, and the other 15 were becoming part of an adhoc Artillery unit under the combined command of the Airborne and Airborne Generals. It wasnt amazing but even she saw the need to split the forces up so they could cover mutliple jobs.

As she also looked through the misison briefing as platoons of people were being split up to their individual leaders and the squads were being formed, Kommando293 walked over to Sinon as he said, "Sorry to make it seem your getting special treatment but reality is I need to keep an eye on you as well as keep you far enougha way from the fighting to make your sniping seem useful."

Sinon could only answer, "Well... from what this says, we have at least 10 different Squadrons of various sizes that can help us fight them.... will they becoming?"

"They will intiate the majority of the fights as distractions around their current hideouts but we'll be going into said hideouts to clear them out and destroy them... we cant offically disband them but if they lose enough battles they can be discouraged from appearing again... and their PKers... I want to know if they have any... nefarious affiliations." said Kommando293.
