i don't own any of the Character blah blah you kno. warning: this has cursing (mainly Ed)
"I will never love any person ever again." I vow as blood trickles down from the place on my arm where my skin and the blade made contact. "I swear it. I will never love others on my mother's grave. I will stay away from others and never have unnecessary friendships. I will only have friends that will be my allies when I am in need. And I will become a state alchemist and destroy the military from the inside. I will never forgive Roy Mustang for what he did to me and Alyssa. Never." The blood fell onto the floor and the vow is now final. "Now to go to get my State Alchemist thingy ma jigger." I say as I walk away from the five tombstones.
"You are now a dog of the military." Roy Mustang says as he gives me my packet watch and certificate. Of all people why him? "You are the Moon's Alchemist."
"Sounds too sweet and mystical for my taste but, oh well." I retort.
"That's how every one, but me, sees you." he smirks. I've been nice to everyone here besides him, of course. I'd lied about my name because if Mustang knew who my mom was I'd never get my revenge on him. My name is Ninala Isa (ee-za), but I told them it is Izabella (spelled with a z on purpose) Martez.
"Iza!" Roy yells bringing me back to Earth.
"What? Did I miss something?" I ask innocently.
"Yes. I need you to go with Havoc to pick up the Elrics. Like now."
"Fine, fine." I say annoyed. I mumbled under my voice, "Bish!"
Havoc finally came into view. "Yo! Havoc!" I say cutely as I run/skip/dance (or whatever the hell they did in ninja melk on ) to him.
"Izabella! What up?"
"Mr. Mustang wants me to come with you to pick up the Elrics, whoever they are."
"You don't know the Elrics? Wow, I thought they were famous for wrecking buildings and disturbing the peace."
"Sorry. Never heard of them but I guess I'll meet them today." We remain in silence as we ride over to Shou Tucker place. I really didn't care much for meeting them but I need a lot of allies and a lot of trust if I was going to have my revenge. So if I act cute and innocent, and meet people every day, visit them a lot, and gain their trust then I won't be a suspect of anything.
I ring the doorbell and a man opens it. "Hello Tucker-san. My friend and I are here to pick up the Elrics."
"Right this way."
"Hey chief, we're here you pick you up." Havoc says as we get there. "… Mind if ask what you're doing?" A dog with a girl on its back rests on a boys back.
"Oww. Ow. Oww." Is all he manages to say. I giggle at them. He gets up and adds, "Uh, well… I guess you could say I'm just taking a little break from my research!"
"Did you find anything useful?" Tucker-san asks. A depressed look comes across the boys face as the dog puts its paw on his head. "… You can come back tomorrow."
"Are you going to come back?" the little girl asks the boy in armor.
He replies, "Uh-huh. Lets play again tomorrow."
"Havoc-san. Don't forget what Mustang-san said." I remind him.
"Thanks, Iza-chan." He turns to Tucker. "Oh, Mr. Tucker, I have a message from the Colonel. He said, 'Please don't forget that the assessment date is coming up.'"
A sad look comes across Tucker-san's face. "… Yes. I know."
When we get to the car Havoc-san opens my door for me and the Elrics finally notice my existence. "Thank you very much, Havoc-san!" I smile.
"No problem."
I sit across from the Elrics but as I stare across the window I can tell they are staring at me. I sigh and say, "You know, Elric-san, it's quite rude to stare at a young lady, such as me, like that,"
The short boy with a braid blushes. "Who are you?"
"It's proper to tell your name before asking but… if you must act this way then fine. I am Izabella Martez. Mustang-san sent me out here with Havoc to get you two."
"Uh… Hi. I'm Edward Elric and this is my little bother, Alphonse, but call him Al because Alphonse makes him sound old." he whispers in a not so low voice to his brother, "This one's weird. She talks like a an old hag."
My mouth drops open as I raise my voice at him. "You do know I can hear you, right? And I'm not acting like an old woman. I'm just being lady-like, that is how I was raised."
"Yo, Iza-chan! Are they messin' with ya back there?" Havoc asks.
"Yeah," I sigh, "they thought they would amuse themselves by making fun of my manners and how lady-like I am."
"You two better stop that. Or else Iza-chan will drown you even without a lake nearby."
"Havoc-san! I can't do that! It's too mean." And there are too many witnesses.
"What does he mean by that?" Al asks.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry I forgot that I left something out. I am Izabella Martez, the Moon's Alchemist." The car stops and I climb out. The Elrics follow.
"Hey, Iza-chan!" Ed calls as I try to leave.
"I don't know you very well so please call me Martez-san or at least Izabella-san." I scold.
"Fine. Izabella-san, how old are you?"
"Seventeen. What does this-" he comes over to me and puts the hand from my head to his. "Your only a few inches bigger then me."
"So? What wrong with that?"
"Aren't you upset about your height? Don't you get mad when people notice?"
"No."
"Why?" I think about this one. The only reason I have is because it enhances the cute and innocent effect but I can't tell him that. I should say something unexpected and lady-like. Then it hit me.
I flip my long midnight blue hair as I turn around to leave. "Because I, unlike you, chibi-san, am very proud of who I am."
He stands in silence for a while until I'm pretty far away and he realizes I just called him chibi-san (Short).
When it's lunch break Havoc, Brenda, and Fury sit by me at my usually empty table.
"Hello, Iza-chan!" They all say. These are some of the people that that I let them call me, Iza-chan.
"Hello, everyone! How was your day?"
"The highlight of my day is when you told Edward off. That was hilarious!" Havoc says chuckling.
"What did she say?" Brenda says.
"He was basically being rude to her and calling her short and she didn't care. So he ask why and she said 'because I, unlike you, chibi-san, am very proud of who I am.' Then flips her hair and walked off. Man you should of seen his face!" they all chuckle and I giggle like an English school girl at a tea party.
"Well he was being very rude and I didn't want to say anything unlady-like so I told him the truth and showed a bit of attitude. He deserved it!"
"Well I sure don't have feelings now do I?"
"Eeeek!" Is all I can get out as I fall to the ground. He was listening! How am I going to gain his trust now? "Wait! Edward-san I-"
He pushes down on my shoulder as I try getting up, causing me to fall back down.
"Nii-san!" Al-kun yells after Edward. "That wasn't very nice!"
I look down not getting up as fake tears slice slowly down my checks. "I guess he won't ever forgive me." I mumble.
"Don't worry- Iza-chan?" Havoc says as I get up and run.
I stop at the door to see their reaction. Each one of them are glaring at Edward and scolding him. I wait a few minutes before coming back in to eat. I waited until the right moment to come back and sit back down. My eyes are red and puffy.
"Iza-chan." I look up at Fury-san. "No worries. He'll forgive you. You're a very kind and loving person. He'll warm up to you. Just give him some time."
"Really, Fury-san?" he nods and I smile. "Great, I hate it when people are mad at me. I can wait, I guess."
"But if he ever asks you out or does anything to you, we'll beat him up." They all nod and have an evil look in their eyes. I sweat drop.
"Isn't take taking it a bit far?" I ask.
"Not far enough!" Brenda says taking out his gun. Two more sweat drops. I giggle at their silliness. I really do have their trust now. Yay for me!
The next two days I go with Havoc to pick them up then drop them off I don't speak with Edward, only Al-kun.
"Hey, Alu-kun!" I say using my nickname for him on the way to Tucker's house on the third day.
"What?" he asks.
"Knock, knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Cookie!"
"Cookie who?"
"I don't know I just really want a cookie." It wasn't a very good joke but we laugh at the randomness of it.
"You are really close to Al." Havoc says as we leave the Tucker estate.
"Mm-hm! Alu-kun is very nice! Unlike Edward-kun…" my voice goes quiet as I say that last part. The phone in the car goes off after a few good minutes of silence.
"Edward? What is it? Hey!" He hangs up the phone. "Something happened to the little girl. They want us to rush over there quickly and call the police."
When we get there I jump out the car and run inside to find Alu-kun on the couch. He was looking down at his hands.
"Alu-kun! What happened?" concern filled my voice. He doesn't answer so I turn to Edward. "Edward-san what happened?"
"He transmuted… Nina… Alex…" the words won't come out.
I go into the room Tucker was in and gasp at what he has done. I bend down and look at his brused face. He flinches thinking I was going to hit him but instead I put my hand on his shoulder.
"You do know that no one can fix this, right?" I ask.
"Yeah."
"Do you think you will regret this?"
"N… yes." He seems a bit pained. I give him a small hug and whisper to him.
"We all make mistakes." I then let go and turn to the Nina/Alexander chimera. I hug them tightly as tears roll down my eyes. Real ones. "Don't worry, Nina-chan. No matter what, your Papa and even me will love you. Okay?"
"Oh…kay. Onee-chan." I give her a warm smile as I cry a bit harder. Edward, Alu-kun and Havoc stare at me in the door. Astounded at what I had just said. "Wanna play?"
I smile and say, "Okay. For you Nina-chan." I played with her for a little bit as the guys stare at me. I stop when the police get there and take care of things. "I have to go, okay Nina-chan? I'll be back later. Remember, we all love you!" I call as I hop into the car.
"Love you too, onee-chan!" The door shuts and even as we get into the car the Elrics stare at me.
"Izabella-san." Edward says finally.
"Hm?" I say in response.
"I'd like to say… I'm sorry and thank you." He holds out his hand. "Truce?"
"Truce."
I heard what happened to Nina and Tucker when I get to HQ.
"What?" I yell a bit too loud. He (I don't know his name) told me all about Scar and his plans. "Alu-kun!" I yell running out the door.
"Wait but you're a-"
"I work with water and it's raining. I think I'll be fine!" I call back. I run outside until I hear an explosion close by. I find Alu-kun running my way, Scar not too far behind.
They pass me up and go into an alley. Alu-kun puts up a wall. I bend my neck to crack it as Scar comes closer. I clap me hands and motion a shove toward him. Water rushes toward him and pushes him back a bit. He quickly gets up and charges at me.
"Shit!" I clap my hands and water pushes me upward to the edge of a wall.
"Iza-chan?" Alu-kun yells.
"Yes?" I say sheepishly. The wall breaks as a hole is blown from it. I fall down and yell, "Shiiiit!" I don't care if it's fucking unlady-like I don't want to die. Luckily Alu-kun catches me. "Thanks! Now run like hell!" Scar puts his hand on the wall causing it to collapse.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on?" Edward yells.
"Who cares just fight damn it!" I yell clapping my hands and letting a wall of water form. I shove it at him and Edward and Alu-kun attack him. They all fight and a few times I clap my hands to make water grab his legs.
Scar does the unexpected and blows a hole in Alu-kun's side. It's hollow.
"Alu-kun!" I yell as Ed gets pissed and fights Scar harder. I run over to help him but he yells at me instead.
"Go help Nii-san!" As I go to do that his arm blows up.
"Automail?" I yell surprised. My brain hurts. I sit there frozen for a while as they talk until Alu-kun yells at me. "Right!" I say running at Scar. But he quickly breaks my wrist and knees me in my gut knocking the air out of me. I wail in pain as I fall down.
As Scar reaches down for Edward's head but a gunshot stops him.
"That's enough!" Mustang grouches.
They all start talking while I tune them out wailing in pain. Mustang does something stupid, like always and tries to get himself killed but Hawkeye stops him on time. I like her. She's cool. Armstrong comes out of nowhere and attacks Scar, rips his shirt off, like always. Then we find out he's Ishvarlan. Now I tune in only to see him blow up a hole in the sewer Havoc refuses to go in. Can't blame him.
Al punches Edward and they fight when they stop fighting Hawkeye comes over and puts her coat on his shoulders. Everyone and I mean everyone goes over there. I slowly stand up and stay a foot away from the wall on the other side of the street. That's when it hit me. A sharp shadowy blade thingy comes from clear across the street and hits me right in the middle of my chest it threw me against the wall. The thing disappeared as quickly as it came. Then I see a little boy in an elementary school uniform running away.
I let out a weird high-pitched ear bleeding, "EEEE- YAAAAAAHHH!" before coughing up blood. What hell was that? A soprano donkey trying to sing? This caused everyone to look at me and run over to me as I slide against the wall and fall onto my knees.
I hear a few people yell my name. I'm not going to make it; I'm never going to get my revenge, will I? No. I can't cling onto life much longer. I am now officially dead, sort of. Sadly the last thing that ever comes from my lips is, "Pysoofmushangmoodikhopbunhail."
…
That's dead for, "Piss off, Mustang. You suck. I hope you burn in hell."
