How could this happen to me? Mustang's never gonna let me live this down. Oh man, how's Al gonna react? He's always wanted a cat, though.
"Fullmetal, I don't want you to do anything reckless," Mustang commanded, "Just go in and investigate, and write a report, understand?"
"Hmp! I'm not a kid," Ed replied hastily, "I know what to do!"
"Well then, get on it," Mustang said.
With that said, Ed and Al left on yet another mission assigned by Colonel Bastard. This time he wanted Ed to investigate a warehouse on the outskirts of Central. He, more specifically, wanted Ed to see what had caused all the numerous amounts of chimeras. They had apparently been causing a great deal of damage to the surrounding area. Not to mention the arising fear in the locals, many of which have gone missing.
The colonel thought this would be a damn simple job for Fullmetal. He just hopes Fullmetal doesn't screw this one up, like he always does. He only had to investigate. That was simple enough that even he couldn't mess this one up. If he did, that would be like him not being to do flame alchemy, and he's the Flame Alchemist.
Ed and Al where on their way to Central's outskirts. Ed was cursing the Colonel for sending him on yet another mission when he was supposed to be searching for the philosopher's stone. He could feel Al's hope draining like water going down in a sink, but faster. That's the reason he cursed Mustang for this. When he realized all he had to do was investigate and write a report, he thought he could finish this in a jiffy. Then he started faster toward his destination, hastily.
They had finally reached the abandoned house. They both went in, Ed a bit more bold, like he was signifying his existence here. Al as casually as an empty suit of armor can, if a suit of armor can act casually. It was very dark, but not pitch black. Ed was in the lead walking down the narrow hallway as they had started to investigate. All they could hear was Al's suit of armor clanking and the floor boards creaking.
When they came to the first door on the left, Ed signaled for Al to be quiet as they entered the room. The room had a window which allowed the refreshing moonlight to enter the room like the window could welcome guests. This particular room didn't hold much promise, for it was just a messy room filled with paper on every inch of the room. Notes scattered, trash adding to the mess, and dull-pointed pencils in a container toppled over. But as Ed still decided to look around for anything that might be of use.
It was no use, this room just held no promise, or did it. One particular paper had notes on how to fuse people with animals. Chimeras, to be exact, is what this paper had instructions to make, or fuse. They left without looking at this paper. Too bad, it sure would have helped them with their investigation.
The brothers continued to venture down the narrow hallway, searching every door that came into sight. 'Geez, this is taking longer than I thought,' Ed said in his mind. He was getting frustrated at how prolonged this mission is getting. He just wanted to get this over with and search for the philosopher's stone. 'Damn that Bastard for assigning me this mission,' Ed thought as he came to the end of the hallway. This was an extremely long hallway. Ed stopped to rest by the wall, but slid right down the secret entranceway.
Al hurried down to catch up with his brother, but ended up falling down the secret passageway, too.
"Oomph!" Ed said as the slide from the passage came to an end.
Then came Alphonse crashing down on his big brother, but he was certainly bigger.
"OW!" Ed yelled as Alphonse came crashing down on him.
"Oh, sorry brother," Al apologized.
"Yeah yeah, can you just get off me?"Ed asked, clearly annoyed.
"Whoops," Al said as he got up off Ed.
As Ed got up, he started to rub his back from the pain of having a giant suit of armor land on him. You try feeling that. Then Ed had noticed he could finish that report in a nanosecond now that they found this clandestine, new hallway, which they both had immediately started to trek down. A grin spread across Ed's lips as they went down to the place that could help him finish that damn report.
