Don't know what Valkyria Chronicles is? Check it out here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyria_Chronicles or http://valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/Valkyria_Wiki

You are LUCAS WILLIAMS, a member of the mercenary company Demons of Randgriz and a graduate from its elite TIER ONE Program. You are now part of the elite, but inexperienced WRAITH TEAM, consisting of you and your fellow classmates from training.

After a grueling year of training and quick battle to get rid of some troublesome pirates harassing Gallia's northern coast, you and Wraith Team have found yourselves transferred to the exotic land of San Salvacion, an entire ocean away from Gallia. You've been brought in to help the beleaguered country suppress the rebels that oppose its rule, as well as counter any possible Erusean aggression from the South.

Unfortunately, the action started much sooner than you thought it would when your base was ambushed literally almost the moment you set foot in it. While the attackers were repulsed, the attack has left you and your squad a bit shaken that presumably poorly armed and organized rebels could strike at the heart of San Salvacion's military power in the south so easily.

Unfortunately, it seems the situation is getting more and more complicated as more players in this conflict begin to reveal themselves, such as Emmerian special forces, Imperial weapon smugglers, unscrupulous rival mercs, and more...

Seeing Lara lying in her cockpit, covered in blood sets off something in the back of your head. Your vision becomes clouded with red, and not from the blood coating the inside of the Lara's cockpit.

Whatever bastard who did this was going to fucking PAY-

Suddenly, you feel a hand tug at your back and you're sent falling to the pavement. You feel a pressure on your chest and you see Menendez pinning you on the ground with his knee.

"Lucas. Calm down." Menendez says calmly. "Breathe."

Time to puke out some thoughts:

>So with Morgan being an "imperfect" Valkyria, the best we can hope for, if she channels her powers, is a few seconds of Valkyrian Aura similar to how Reila from VC3 used her powers.

>Also, I'm a bit worried about what she'll do when she has Steiner at her mercy. Will she choose Justice, or Vengeance? Will she rant about how he made her life hell, or will she acknowledge that she's thankful of it because she sees what her father truly is.

>What happened to her mother? Was her mother a prisoner in Vorkuta? Steiner implied that the Valkyria genes came from his side, so did he impregnate various test subjects?

>Finally, I think Morgan should tell Reznov how Dimitri died (if he saved her). It would let Reznov know that he died not like an animal, but as a Hero. Not a Hero on a grand scale, but on a personal one.

Your eyes flutter open as you regain consciousness. Groaning and feeling aches all over your body, you sit up, and realize you're sitting among green rolling hills, as if you had never left Gallia.

In the distance, you see a small falcon sitting on a discarded helmet. You're tempted to examine it more closely, but your entire body still aches.

Despite the pain, you push yourself to your feet and slowly make your way to the falcon. However, as you near it, the falcon immediately takes off and flutters off further down the field, nesting a large rock now, instead.

Wow, what a dick.

You absentmindedly pick up the helmet and examine it, realizing that it's a flight helmet. Huh. Cute.

You follow the falcon, now perched on the rock. It looks at you and tilts its head curiously.

"Odd, I didn't expect you here so soon." It says.

"Oh, hi there." You respond instinctively before realizing that you're talking to a goddamn bird. "Wait, what?!"

"Hey, don't blame me, this is YOUR dream." The falcon says as it takes off from the rock and flutters over to land on your shoulder. "You got yourself in a pretty big mess, you know. Pissing of mean old men, getting yourself shot up. Makes it reeeaaaally hard to keep up with you."

"Wait, what?" You repeat. "Where the hell am I?"

"Well, Lara, that depends on your point of view." The falcon raises one of its wings and starts grooming it. "If you're talking about the real world, you're currently in a field hospital getting over twenty bullets dug out of your body. Dreamwise, we're in your "happy place", I guess. It's the best way I can describe it."

"Am, am I dead?" You blink.

"Close to it." The falcon does the closest approximation to a shrug it can manage. "You see, that's the crux of the issue."

"What are you talking about?" You ask.

"Well, you have one of two choices." The falcon continues. "You can just lay back, enjoy the view, and let the doctors do their work. You'll live, but with the level of damage you've taken, you'll likely never fly again, even with ragnaid."

"And the other choice...?"

"One last flight with me." The falcon says, now getting riled up. "You're a natural, Lara. Amazing at what you do, but there's only so much I can do. Instead of a tool, I've become a shackle, one you need to prove you can overcome."

"Can you speak a bit more plainly?" You say, suddenly feeling dizzy.

"Oh, right, near death. Basically, I'm the last hurdle you need to overcome to achieve true greatness. But... if you fail, I can't guarantee you'll come out of it in one piece. You have two choices. Do you want to live, or do you want to fly?"

"I want to fly." You say with determination. "Just carrying without being able to go back to the sky? That's not living at all!"

"Heh, I was expecting that answer." The falcon lifts off from your shoulder. "Turn around. I'll be waiting for you up there."

"Wait, what are you-" But the falcon suddenly takes off, becoming a little speck in the sapphire blue sky above. Deciding to follow his directions, you turn around, and there it is.

Your old Falcon. Fueled and ready to go.

It's like riding a bike. You don't even have to think. You just drop into the cockpit, fire up the engine, and just like that, you're in the air as well, trailing behind the falcon.

Except this time it's now a plane. Funnily enough, the mirror image of the Falcon you're currently flying.

"Get ready, Lara, I won't hold back."

"What makes you think I will?" You grin.

The Black Falcon suddenly goes into a steep dive.

You dive after the Black Falcon, trying to fight the turbulence as your plane rattles like a toy. However, you're keeping pace with your opponent and you nose your crosshairs just over him.

Unfortunately, the turbulence is too great, and it makes your bullets go wildly off course. You consider keeping up the chase, considering he wasn't breaking out of the dive, but the ground is quickly approaching and you're quickly losing altitude. The long you stay in this dive the bigger the chance you have of nosediving into the ground.

You score several good hits on the Black Falcon, seeing pieces and bits of it being chipped away by your bullets. However, the plane keeps flying despite all known physical rules. Well, you ARE in a dreamworld. You guess it wouldn't be that easy.

However, you hits convince the Black Falcon to try and pull out of the dive, which it does almost too effortlessly and begins to loop around to try and retaliate.

You take advantage of the energy the dive gives you and you zoom away to gain distance. However, thanks to the Black Falcon's looping turn, he has a few brief seconds to get a shot in at you before you get out of range.

As the head on pass carries on, both planes begin to pick up speed, until the Black Falcon is literally a blur filling your vision.You see bullets riddle the Black Falcon as bullets ping off your own plane. It's almost at the point where you're going to collide in midair when the Black Falcon suddenly loses altitude and drops below you. You quickly make a high-G turn to keep up with him.

And then you see it. The Black Falcon, once a fearsome opponent, was a ruined plane leaking smoke and oil, and steadily losing altitude. However, it was still in controlled flight, but there was no way he could pose a threat to you now.

"Heh, it looks like you win." You hear the falcon say. "Go ahead. Finish it."

At first you're tempted to pull the trigger and it him. But.. something nags at the back of your mind and you let go of the trigger.

Suddenly, you hear the falcon laughing. The plane below slowly begins to dissolve away, until you see the original falcon flying in its place, slowly gliding toward the ground.

"Good job, Lara. You pass. You proved you've got both the skills and the compassion to be a true ace."

Suddenly, the falcon disappears from your view, and it suddenly appears in front of you, perching on your cockpit controls. You blink in surprise.

"I hope your next plane won't let you down like I did." The falcon says.

"Wait.what-"

The falcon then lunges forward, wings spread as it digs its claws into your chest.

"GAH!" You scream as you bolt upright out of a cot, startling a poor nurse who drops a tray of syringes and bandages.

"Oh my, you're awake!" The nurse gasps. "I need to get the doctor!"

"W-wait!" You gasp, your throat suddenly feeling extremely dry.

"What happened to my plane?" You croak.

"Heh, typical pilot." The nurse chuckles. "It's the strangest thing, actually. Despite all the damage the plane still seemed to be working fine when they pulled you out, but just this night they couldn't start it up again no matter what they tried. I'm afraid they're going to have to scrap it."

"I see..." You frown. was that all really a dream....?

You wait patiently for the nurse to disappear from view before trying to get out of your bed. You grimace as you feel pains in your chest, but it's not too bad. You see your boots and flight jacket stowed next to your bed and you quickly slip them on over your medical gown.

It was night. Pretty late, by your guess, seeing what little activity was going on. It was definitely at least some time after the battle, seeing as you can see a lot of freshly repaired damage in the gloom.

You wonder where to go from here.

Grabbing a stray crutch, you stumble your way across the base, miraculously managing to avoid the notice of the sentries that were aggressively patrolling the area. Vaguely remembering where Lucas said his tent was, you slowly but surely make your way there, though it feels like an eternity.

Finally, you reach the tent that you believe is his and you peek through the tent flap. Inside, you can see Lucas resting in cot, his head securely nestled in Falynn's lap.

That's right, you remember now, Lucas and Falynn were a couple now...

"Excuse me." You say softly as you push the tent flap aside. "You don't mind if I come in, do you?"

"L-Lara?!" Falynn gasps and clasps her hands to her mouth to keep from making too much noise. "You're awake!"

"Yeah, yeah I am." You nod absentmindedly as you move into the tent. "Um... how long was I out?"

"About two days. The doctors didn't know if you were ever going to wake up, much less survive." Falynn bites her lip. "Lucas... didn't take it well."

Yes, you remember that day way back when during your academy years. Lucas going berserk when he saw you get hurt. You shudder to think how he reacted when he saw you nearly die.

"What happened?"

"Thankfully, Menendez beat him to the punch and knocked it out of him." Falynn sighs. "That's where the black eye came from.

You examine Lucas' sleeping face and you see that indeed, his face was swollen and bruised from what looked like a lot of hits.

"I would've used ragnaid to fix him up, but it's being prioritized for serious injuries right not." Falynn sighs. "Menendez and Simo ordered Lucas confined to quarters, and so, here we are."

Lucas then shifts uncomfortably in his sleep and he starts mumbling incoherently.

"He's been like this ever since you got hit." Falynn says sadly. "He hasn't been sleeping well."

"Poor thing..." You brush you hand across his forehead and Lucas seems to visibly calm down a bit.

"Hey..." Falynn lifts Lucas' head up from her lap a bit. "You want to have a turn?"

"Um, sure. Thanks." You nod. It's a bit awkward swapping positions with Falynn but Lucas was always a notoriously heavy sleeper and he doesn't even seem to notice.

"Heh, he really does look really cute when he's asleep, doesn't he?" Falynn smiles.

"Yeah..." You grin as you recall your younger days. You instinctively begin stroking his hair. Coincidentally enough, Lucas seems to have calmed down considerably, no long mumbling or thrashing in his sleep.

"I'm gonna get some water." Falynn says, patting the wrinkles out of her skirt and slipping her boots on. "I'll be back soon."

With that, Falynn slips out of the tent, leaving you alone with Lucas.

Yeah..., you think to yourself as you let out a big yawn, maybe you'll just stay like this a little while longer...

By the time Falynn gets back, what she sees are a brother and sister sleeping serenely together for the first time in probably years. She just shakes her head and smiles before returning to her own tent.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Urgh..." You groan as you slowly wake up to lots and lots of pain. You're still feeling the after effects of Menendez's beating after pulling you away from Lara. Afterwards, he threw you in the brig for a day to keep you from going back to the infirmary from being able to see her. While it was kind of a dick move, you could actually understand Menendez's motives. He was probably afraid seeing Lara again would trigger your inner anger.

He had let you out yesterday, hoping that you had "cooled off" enough, though he tasked Falynn with keeping a close eye on you.

You try to shift your head, but feel it nestled snugly between a pair of warm thighs. You're expecting it to be Falynn again, but you frown and shift your head a bit more. Something didn't quite feel right.

These weren't Falynn's thighs!

You blink and look up to see Lara slumped over, obviously asleep and snoring softly.

Without words you just get up, spin around, and hug Lara as tight as you can.

"Ack! Lucas! Still recovering here!" Lara gasps.

"O-oh sorry!" You blink before letting go. "I uh, got carried away there..."

>>27947162
>Nope, haven't seen her.
>>
>>27947256
It wouldn't be that focused due to a lack of control, and due to said lack of control, it'll spirial out of it. And even if not, going that deep into it would likely break him.

>>27947254
He just wants there to be tons more bloodshed like his WH40k stories.
>>
>>27947254
A little confused, are you saying the story is or not dull
>>
>>27947283
I think he's saying it's not and >>27947211 is wrong.
>>
>>27947282
Never really understand what Warhammer is, besides I never said about too much bloodshed just him being angry, seeing family hurt like that normally one wouldn't rationalize at first

then again Lucas is inconsistent as hell
>>
>>27947162
"Nope, I haven't seen her." You say.

"Damn. Well, keep an eye out, okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

With that, you hear the footsteps move off.

"Ohmygod thank you so much!" Lara sighs. "Can I just pleeeeeeaaaase ask for one more favor from you?"

"What is it?" You sigh.

"Can you take me to my plane?"

>Sure
>Nope, back to the hospital for you.
>Other
>>
>>27947283

I'm saying I'm shocked at the implication of Valkyrian Mercs getting dull. I don't think I've seen a spot I've felt 'Meh' about yet.
>>
>>27947315
>Sure
>>
>>27947315
>>Sure

"But after that, it's back to the medical tent. No ifs, ands, or buts."
>>
>>27947315
Hug her softly for a little while longer. "Sure".
>>
>>27947315
>>Sure
but straight to hte hospital after
>>
>>27947315
>>Sure
>>
>>27947293
Its funny that is the same anon, but yeah.

>>27947317
The original one? Then yeah it was one entire ride that never seemed to end.

VMQ 2, I felt meh on several occasions even annoyance especially during and after the Faylnn side story.
>>
>>27947310
Whose fault do you think that is?

Also the first choice was either reigning it in or flipping out in a blind rage.

I would like to remind you what would have happened if Jager had choosen to flip out at a certain moment: Sam might not have survived that battle.
>>
>>27947364
Jaeger did flip out if I recall however Jaeger is different from Lucas, so to expect the same reaction with two different people then it is a problem
>>
>>27947315
>>Sure
In a wheelchair, covered in blankets with a hat and shades and hair tied and covered.
>>
>>27947385
Na, the option was either to flip out or to save Sam.
>>
>>27947413
Oh I see, but again the option was fundamentally different considering the different choices between Lucas and Jaeger
>>
>>27947413
Wasn't the option go T-1000 and save Sam, or go Hulk and save Sam?

Sam gets saved, crater count changes.
>>
>>27947424

No, it was care for Sam or kill all the enemies.
>>
>>27947424
The other option was to hulk out and bathe in the blood of the rebels with our fists. We chose to give medical aid to Sam instead

I have never been more terrified by a quest thread than when Merc said "Sam got hit...bad". I legit started drinking and called in sick to work
>>
>>27947445
it was rather intense. I agree. at least it felt there will be a sense of fatality
>>
>>27947364

Lucas flipped out here because it was unexpected and Blue on Blue. In combat he kind of expects the possibility someone will get hurt. But right after a battle? and some asshole going blue on blue?

Yeah he will flip until he has time to calm down.
>>
>>27947445
This and when I saw the vast majority if not all chose to tend to Sam, I was proud of anon.

>>27947423
differences? Jager was a man more at home with his anger than Lucas is. Jager was a born fighter while Lucas is likely better off being in a dipomat position than having a gun in his arms.

"Sure." You nod and hug Lara. You didn't quite understand pilots' attachments to their planes, but you knew they were very important to them. Heck, you would've HATED it if you ever lost your gun for any reason. "But after that, it's straight back to the hospital tent, got it?"

"Yeah." Lara nods.

Since you didn't have access to a wheelchair and Lara would be too slow on a crutch, you instead opt to just carry Lara to the hangar. Fortunately, it was still rather early in the morning, so most of the base personnel weren't up about yet, meaning you could slip through most areas of the base unnoticed, considering you knew the patrol routes and timings.

In no time, you reach the hanger, which is where all of the damaged aircraft, both friendly and enemy, had been dragged to. Most of them could be salvaged, but there were a few beyond saving, and were bound to either be scrapped or cannibalized for parts to fix the other planes.

Unfortunately, Lara's plane seems to have found its way to the latter category. You find the plane with the ribbon tail near the back, where Lara just seems to stare at the wrecked hulk for the longest time. She lovingly brushes a hand along its side, as if stroking a dying pet.

"Thanks for everything." She whispers before turning back to you. "Okay, we can go, now."

that was a high point in the story, though I kind of wished we waited until we confronted Karla one last time before fully commiting to Sam.'

>>27947520
Honestly, I was a Samfag due to her loyalty to Jager through thick and thin, but I was legitimately happy when Wrenloft rolled the nat 20 to end nat 20s and saved Karla. It's like how there are some anime where there really isn't a worst girl. I liked Sam more, but i can see where the Karlafags were coming from.

VMQ's been a ride and a half...Merc, I've taken like 2 vacation days because of this quest. You share that honor with Planefag
>>
>>27947501
Fortunately, you again manage to evade any notice as you carry Lara back to the hospital tent. Heck, not even the doctors and nurses present there are aware of your presence as you carefully sneak Lara back into her cot.

"Take care." You whisper to your sister.

"You too." Lara responds.

You quietly extract yourself from the hospital tent and slowly make your way to the command post. Wraith Team was supposed to be meeting there for further mission details. Even though you were still recovering from the Erusean blitz, there was still much to do.

"Ah, good, you're here." Simo nods.

"Did you guys find Lara?" You ask, feigning ignorance.

"Yeah. Funniest thing. When they went back to the hospital tent she was already there. Said she 'went for a walk' or something. Just thought I'd let you know."

"Thanks." You say, suppressing a smile.

"Anyways." Simo sighs. "I've been discussing things with Morgan, and she's agreed to help us get the Cartographer working."

Honestly...both. I've had the shitty luck of being gone a lot of the weekends when VMQ2's been running, so I haven't had to take any vacation days for it, but IMO it's been almost as good. I also can't fault a QM for running a quest how he wants. I'm literally giving him nothing but my time and attention, why should I sperg at something that rustles my jimmies?
>>
>>27947615
I also enjoyed VMQ my only regret was not getting into sooner so i could try to make a a character for it.

This quest I also enjoyed but....I honestly wished certain decisions were changed but I can't hate the Merc for that. The only thing i do condemn him for was putting certain decisions at certain times.

"Isn't that dangerous?" You ask. "I mean, not only do we not know what the Cartographer does, but how is it going to react to her?"

"It's my choice, Lucas." Morgan says. "If... if I'm going to have to live with this cursed blood I might as well put it to good use."

"Yes, now that her father knows she's here, it's only a matter of time before he and Dragovich try and make a move on her." Simo says grimly. "Our best recourse is to use the Cartographer and beat them to whatever it is they want to find so badly."

"So this means that we're going back to San Salvacion City." You say.

"That's right." Simo nods. "I've arranged for transport there, but we're going to have to stop at Vitoze to refuel. We're short here due to all the extra planes we took in after the battle."

Everybody looks at each other nervously. Artemis was currently operating out of Vitoze, and everybody knew that there was a good chance that Tombstone guy who shot at Lara would be there, too. Simo seems to pick up on this as well.

"Lucas, you sure you can handle it?"

"Yeah." You nod.

"Just remember, it's not worth starting a war with Artemis over." Simo grunts. "Our relations with them are already bad enough as it is. No need to make it worse."

Still, that urge to beat Tombstone's face in doesn't leave.

"Anyways, I want you all to get ready to leave in six hours. Full combat loads. Fuck politics, I'm not taking any chances this time."

Normally, you'd have spent the time to go and socialize or hang out with somebody, but not this time. Your mind is too distracted and focused at the same time, to get the mission done and wondering how you'd handle Tombstone if you ever encountered him.

Unfortunately, even as you ride the plane as you take off, you still haven't figured out a suitable answer.

we'd cause all kinds of problems for the people around us
we don't want a war with artemis, and we don't want lara to see more of our bloodthristy side

we should approach the situation more cautiously
>sabortage his plane so the engine explodes a few minutes after takeoff so he has to leave the plane
>put some holes in his chute, big enugh so he breaks his legs, small enough so he survives it for sure

and then we can take our jolly time getting to the crashsite, looking for his injured body and cutting him up or whatever, I however think we should drag him back to the wreck and make sure he burns to death with it
>>
>>27948049
The more you know
>>
>>27948098
the chute thing is good, also, sabotage his landing gear, not his engine, and maybe his aileron controls, plenty of guys got crushed by the engine of their plane when they did a rough emergency landing or failed takeoff, hit the ground too hard and dismount the engine right into his face

So I like the direction this thread is going. But here's a thought: Why are we looking at trying to get away cleanly with it?

Why not try a frame-up instead?

Make it look like the local Emmerian forces. Cause Artemis to break their contract, so we can shoot those cunts for the rest of the quest.

Don't stop with killing the fuck painfully. Destroy everything he ever belonged to or enjoyed.

Fucker enjoys killing and flying... explosive accidentally is misplaced next to his plane and they accidentally go off. Then we torture him in front of everyone, the eyes >>27947912 , I would say legs like >>27947863 but we should take a power drill to his kneecaps. Maybe take a few fingers, shit is worse then death.

As much as I would like revenge, I'd rather we handled this in a side quest with Lara, she did say she wanted to take care of it herself anyway. When the vote comes up for Lucas I'll begrudgingly vote to not betray our sister's trust, at least nothing worse than a well placed punch if we really can't control ourselves.

Then when it's Lara's turn, maybe fire off some smart lances when he's near an engaged enemy. All 4, no chances. And if he bails out, clip his chute.

You don't* I mean.
>>
>>27949981

Point is, I want revenge, but not as Lucas. If everyone was going to automatically switch to murder mode why did we even bother not just telling our sister not getting revenge wasn't going to happen. Besides after:
>...I know you'll do the right thing.
I'm going to at least try.

Also you don't just walk up to some guy and shoot him in the head, or torture him like some want. Unless he tried to kill your sister.
You wouldn't kill somebody in a chute, unless they filled you with 20 bullets.
>>
>>27950120
>...I know you'll do the right thing.
The right thing is to fix the problem, be it removing it completely or making it so it can never be a problem again.
>Also you don't just walk up to some guy and shoot him in the head, or torture him like some want. Unless he tried to kill your sister.
Which means he'll need a tombstone.
>You wouldn't kill somebody in a chute, unless they filled you with 20 bullets.
The war in the sky is very different then the one on the ground, different set of rules.
>>
>>27950172
>The right thing is to fix the problem, be it removing it completely or making it so it can never be a problem again.

That's rationalizing. I wont disagree with you, but "the right thing" in context is what our sister is asking of us. Besides, she said she'd handle it in her own way, and that's still up to us, I don't see why people want to take that away from her.

As for your last point, I always pictured Lara as more of a pragmatist than her idealist brother. She values honor like any knight's daughter, and enjoys dueling with talented aces honorably, but is willing to withhold that from people who don't deserve it. Tombstone often broke that very same rule, it's only fitting in my opinion.
>>
>>27950261
>I always pictured Lara as more of a pragmatist than her idealist brother.
I agree that and the rest of that. Tombstone I don't think has ever followed those rules.

All of this makes me wonder how everything be if we choose the Pilot route instead of the operator route.
>>
>>27950299

We'd come into less direct moral conflict between being a nice guy, and still being a killer. But at some point we'd have to realize, pilots generally have a much higher kill count than ground pounders, especially if you're ground support or a bomber.

I like to think Lara notices this and that's why she's more willing to get some cold blooded revenge, and is asking Lucas to stay out of it to protect him.
>>
>>27950361
She's trying to be the protective bigger sister, but any bit of Lucas 'innocent' that we still have by the end of the quest I'll count as a success even though my opinions on the subject are different.

Honestly was disappointed at first us not choosing the pilot route but as it's gone on I have liked it. It's harder to do a darker story with fighter planes then on the ground and while I don't like dark stories for the most part I do like it in contrast to VMQ which was solving everything by being JAGER STURMFUHRER!
