Valkyrie of the Battlefield – A New Dawn of Warfare (Valkyria Chronicles TM)
Summery – After the Second Europa War, peace finally broke out through the entire world. But there are always someone who ain't willing too keep it like that for all eternity. It's just a matter of time, before it starts all over again.
Prologue – One Depressing World
The year was 1937. After the Europa War II was over and the late Prince Maximilian regime over, the Empire had fallen. Peace broke out trough the entire continent, but that didn't mean that the endless battles would end there. Since the fall of 'The East Europan Imperial Alliance' and there prince Maximilian, The Empire, were slowly deteriorating from with in itself.
Different people and parties fought over the control of it's kingdom and there fatherland, that it soon lead to a fully blown civil war within the Empire territories in a matter of months after the wars ended. Many men and women fought, in vain, in villages and city's that they thought could call home but it was more as an other battlefield for slaughter than a place you could call 'home'.
Neither didn't it help that 'The Atlantic Federation' were hot on there heals to gather together troops for an attack against the Empire and tear up the Empire's moral from the sidelines.
The little nation known as 'The Principality of Gallia' couldn't do much more than watch as the battles outside Gallia continued. Many people, both the civilians and military thought that "those battles are none of our business", but the fear of that the Federation would take over the power of the Empire and then invade Gallia in a new Europa War had a major impact on Gallia. Though there are a lot of people that think they can take on everything that will be thrown at them, seeing how well they all did during the last one and the one before that.
There for, the Gallian army spent many millions in there research of arms and armory. Preparing them self for the inevitable day where the federation would start invading Gallia like The Empire had done just a few years earlier. The militia's research wasn't equally fortunate with huge budgets like the army did but they had better researchers who were able to create new weapons, armory and alike before the army fad thought of that. Problem was that the budget didn't allow them to that many so there is just a handful of people working there.
One of the few developers in the Gallian militia was Kreis Czherny, who were now back to Research & Development department after have left it to replace the late Isara Gunther as a Tank Operator and Repairer. After the end of EW II he went on a Aeronautic Academy but left not long after as he felt much of what they knew and taught there didn't feel right to him. Aviation was still very new and all they had to teach was the same things he understood from history and Isara's notes and explanations. In short, nothing really new for him.
Kreis hadn't changed much in two years time. His hair were still fairly short hair, while being a bit wavy at the tops and raven black. He wore a more slimmer glasses with a thinner frame and a more rectangular shape made in steel to replace his old, larger ones from wood. The reason he had to change them were because of an incident where the Edelweiss got hit pretty hard in the side which shook him around and demolishing the glasses in the process. Though the new glasses were a bit sturdier and heavier than the earlier ones, it was surprisingly comfortable. His eyes were the same gray looking ones as ever, but you could see the strain of a lot of pressure and stress residing within them.
The new working overall looked like the old, dark blue, one but it had some new changes to it in it's design. The large leg padding that covered the entire front of the legs were replaced by some tool pockets that were fitted to the thighs. Also, instead of the large pads to protect the legs it were replaced with smaller pads sewn in to the overall itself on the knees only, as the knees took the most punishment at work.
Everything was almost like it used to be before the rise of Welkin Gunther and Squad 7. Only thing that were missing were Leon Schmidt who left R&D to become a driver for a racing team. After the flight in the ISARA, a handcrafted biplane made by Kreis, Isara, Leon and everyone from squad 7 who had some time to spare, all he could think of was speed, speed and even more speed.
Kreis didn't mind much but he could help but feel a bit more lonelier now without Leon or Isara by his side, but people come and goes so there wasn't much he could do. He had new as well as some old friends to help him through what ever the future may hold in store. Though, deep inside of him, Kreis wished that he could live in the past.
His job for now was to invent and develop new kinds of firearms and machinery to aid the defense of Gallia, and in the turns of events that would come could lead him to be looked as one of the greatest minds in the Gallian history, Kreis always thought that his idol, Isara, always would the greatest of them all.
Kreis, however, was hoping that his creation wasn't ever going to be used in combat, but that was a far fetched thought. It's like what a male sniper once told him while he maintained his prototype rifle that he had worked on improving along side two of his colleagues.
"As long there is two people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead."
An other person that told Kreis about the wars and battles that are raging around Europa was Homer Peron, also Kreis best and only friend after the split of Squad 7 two years prior. Homer said, with the same smile he always wore, that it's invertible that it's going to happen and told him the following;
"War doesn't decide who's right, it only decides who's left."
It's words like these that makes Kreis not being able to sleep at nights. Words that fueled the prior wars and the current conflicts that occurred around his motherland.
All of this made Kreis wanting to just disappear and don't have to worry about anything, but there were always one thing or an other person that would pull him back to reality and try to view life and the world on a lighter side.
It worked so far but the feelings that everything will only go down hill for him and the nation of Gallia.
The sinking feeling that 'the end of the world he knew it, had begun'.
