CH 1: The Start of it All...
Roy Mustang sat at home, drinking his coffee at the kitchen table.He read the paper, seeing everything was normal news except for section about small earthquakes in Central a few days ago.He sighed, knowing he might get a call from his best friend, Maes Hughes, telling about the quakes.Putting the paper down, he walked out the door and started to Eastern H.Q.
Once entering the doors he knew something was wrong.Officers were talking amoung themselves in worried tones and asking if he knew what happened in Central.
He would shake his head no and they would turn back to there friends and co-workers.Roy walked to his office and saw that no one was working, including Riza Hawkeye.They were all gathered around a raido, listening intently to what it was saying.
Reporter:'The entire city of Central is under attack by a large creature.The city and cities surrounding are being evacuated as I speak.'Some papers suffle and whispering is heard.'I just got word that this creature is over thrity stories high and has destoried all of downtown Central.'
"What the hell...?"Roy said in shock."When did this happen..?"
Jean Havoc looked up from the raido."This started right after the earthquakes..."
Reporter:'Soldier's are now attacking the creature.But it seems nothing has fazed it at all.'
"Sir..."Kain Furey looked up at him."Do you thing we'll be sent out there...?"
Roy shook his head."Not sure.."
Riza raised her hand, telling them to be quiet and as they did the raido started giving out whitenoise.Everyone looked at one another, eyes showing fear.
"What do you think happened...?"Heymans Breda asked."Was the tower taken out..?"
"Probably.."Jean said."Do you think they'll have any footage of it on the news..?"
At that moment everyone in the room looked up and rushed out, to the rec room.It was already crowded but Vato Falman and Roy were able to get near the front.On the screen, soldiers were shooting at it and tanks were firing missiles.Roy looked at the screen closely and saw his friend, Maes, amoung the fighting.He got scared then heard a loud roar and a car was throw towards the soldiers.It was thrown right over Maes' head.Vato looked down at Roy.
Both men walked back through crowd and told the others what they saw.They looked down or looked scared.They walked out of the room and slowly went back to the office.Heymans looked to the window then curiousity finially setting in.
"When was that taken..?"He asked Roy and Vato.
Vato looked up and sighed."I think from the first day, which was three or four days ago..."
"Then how come we didn't hear anything else..?"Furey asked.
"Probably because people had a hard time getting out of town with any footage.."Riza replied.There was a knock at the door and Jean opened it.A young officer was there with a package.
"Um, this arrived from Central.."He held it out for Roy to take."It's more footage of the attacks from a civillan."
Roy nodded and took it and the officer left.He looked at Jean.
"Where's the t.v...?"Jean walked to the closet and opened it.He wheeled out the televison, which was siting on a tray with wheel.Roy put the tape in the VCR and played it.
On the screen a giant creature being hit with missles, grenades, and bullets.Non seemed to fazed the thing, for it would turn back and attack whatever hit it.Yells and shouts were heard as it's tail destoryed the building next to it.Orders to fall back were being yelled out and the camera was turned to the soldiers as they ran away.Bodies were all over the ground and tanks and guns were destoryed, surrounding the bodies.
The person with the camera ran after the soldiers, following them where ever they went.The staff all looked up around at eachother, shocked and afraid.They looked at the screen and the screen was blank for a moment.It came back on and they were at a make-shift base.
To a shock Maes Hughes and Alex Louis Armstrong were there giving orders to soldiers.Some seemed to protest and argue but that stopped as soon as Maes raised his voice.In all honesty, he looked like hell worn over.His eyes had dark circles under his eyes and dirt all over him.Scratches and bruises were all over his face and arms.The military jacket was off and his shirt torn to near shreads.And Armstorng didn't look any better.
Yelling was heard and the camera was turned off for a moment.It was turned back on and was looking around the make-shift base.Soldiers were being treated for wounds.A gruny(?) went past with a soldier on it.He abdomin was ripped out, ribs and organs showing.The T.V. was turned off by Roy.Everyone looked at him.
"Why did you...?"Riza started, but the intercom came on and General Grummans voice was heard.
Grumman:'Refugee's and Officers from Central will be coming at any moment by train.I order; blah, blah, blah, Mustang and his staff, blah, blah.To all report to the train station and help everyone coming from Central.'
THe intercom went off.Roy started to the door, the rest following suit...
