~Chapter 1~
Roy Mustang, the colonel of the East Command of Amestris, was walking down the streets of the city with his loyal first lieutenant, Riza Hawkeye. "Colonel, you know you haven't finished verifying all the reports for today," Riza said. "I know, I know, but I need a break. If it's not homunculus attacking, it's Fullmetal (Edward Elric) and that mouth of his," Roy sighed. He kicked a small pebble as he walked, the force of it growing and slowing every time. "I mean...he's always worked up about something...if it's not about getting his brother's body back, he's mad at me for ticking him off," Roy complained, "Then again, we still have Scar on the loose as well..." Riza nodded. "I know, but it's our job to deal with these things," she said, "We probably couldn't take leave even if we wanted to."
Suddenly, a blast was heard not too far off from where they were. Then smoke rose up from a nearby alleyway. Roy and Riza looked at each other and nodded, They took off and ran towards the alley, weaving past citizens that were either standing around or scattering in the opposite direction. When they reached the alley, they saw a pair of sunglasses with the lenses cracked and broken. "Those are Scar's...," Roy said. They looked into the shadows of the alley, seeing a pair of red eyes. 'Scar has red eyes...but these are different,' Riza thought, wondering who those eyes belonged to. Then a large dog-sized dragon came out from the shadows, launching itself at the two. Roy put his gloves that had a transmutation circle on it and snapped his fingers, performing flame alchemy and creating a spark which exploded on contact with the dragon. This unbalanced force knocked the dragon to the ground. The dragon got right back up and shook it's head, eyeing them with bloodthirsty intent. It charged at them again. Riza pulled out two handguns from their holsters and shot three rounds at the beast, trying to at least graze it some. The dragon howled as two bullets pierced its front legs, one nicking its wing, and one grazing its snout. 'This is it,' Roy thought as he prepared to snap his fingers once more. But then the dragon shot a fire ball at them. Roy snapped his fingers, sending a spark that collided with the ball of fire. It created a balanced force, which caused an explosion and smoke to cover the alley. When it cleared, Roy and Riza where left coughing and the dragon laying on the ground, motionless. Roy and Riza approached the dragon, seeing that it was dead. Riza gave a sigh of relief., her heart accelerating from the fight.
"What should we do with this?" Roy asked as he examined the corpse. "Well, we shouldn't let anyone else see this," Riza replied. Roy tried to pick up the dead body, but the mass of it was too great. "Geez! This guy's like three tons!" Roy exclaimed as he dropped the corpse. He sighed and snapped his fingers, burning the body to ashes to hide its existence here. "Shall we go back to headquarters?" Riza asked. "Yeah...," Roy said, picking up the broken sunglasses, "We saw nothing here today." As they walked out of the alley, something was still there. Little did they know, another dragon was still there...and now it wanted revenge.
