Hi there everyone! My name is Chikara, and I co-write fanfics here with my friend Hikari! This is our first fanfic, so no flaming! I wrote this chapter, and Hikari will write the next one. We'll switch off like that throughout the whole thing. Enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: We own nothing of Fullmetal Alchemist. Only the OCs are ours!

No POV

Alex, Edward and Alphonse exited the train station in East City. After what Colonel Mustang told them both Alex and Ed were eager to hit something...or someone.

I can`t believe brother paired me up with this midget. Alex thought angrily while Ed was thinking-

Damn that colonel. I can`t believe I have to do this.

"So...um...what was the mission again?"Al asked just wishing they`d get along.

"The mission is to catch a mass murderer here." Alex said while going through the file that the colonel gave them.

"Anything else you can tell us?" Al asked.

"..."

"HEY!" Ed shouted at her.

"You`re gonna have to let me lead this mission apparently..."Alex said after a couple of minutes.

"What the hell makes you think I`m gonna let you do that?"Ed shouted angrily.

"...Because this guy used to be in the military...and he fought in the Ishbal Rebellion..."

"That`s still no good! I`ve been in the military longer that you have!"

"...My brother is the hero of the Ishbal Rebellion and I actually used to live here in East City." Alex explained angrily. By the look on Ed's face...he was beaten.

'HA! Take that Fullmetal!' Alex thought happily smirking. They started walking down the street where some Military police were supposed to meet them and fill them in on the situation.

"So this guy was in the military?"Al asked.

"Yep. Probably another state alchemist gone mad."Alex replied.

"So how do you plan on capturing him?" Ed asked her. He probably knew she didn`t have a plan.

Damn him! He`s making me think of a strategy! I always use instincts on my missions! Alex thought angrily. Seeing the angry expression on her face Ed knew he had won this time.

"Well since you don`t seem to know...I guess I`ll lead this." Ed said smirking.

"No, no, I know what to do just let me think!" Alex spat at him.

Okay so there`s a mass murderer running around East City and we have to stop him without getting killed our- wait... Alex thought. When she finally pieced everything together she started smiling like the colonel does.

That`s so creepy. She almost looks like him... both Ed and Al thought at the same time.

"Doesn`t say we can`t kill him." She finally said.

"But...killing and capturing aren`t the same thing." Al explained.

"Yea but, it doesn`t say the guy has to be alive." Alex replied.

"What? Let me see that." Ed made a reach for the folder but Alex quickly put it back in her bag before he could get close to it.

"Not so fast Fullmetal. My brother wants me to be the only one who gets ahold of it so...BYE!" Alex said then quickly sprinted down the street to where the Military Officer stood a few feet down the street.

Alex POV

I quickly sped down the street leaving a pair of very confused Elrics behind.

"I`m sorry Ma`m but this area is for authorized military personel only." The officer explained to me. Geez, I hate it when they don`t recognize me. So I had to dig in my pocket for my watch that was attached to my belt.

"I`m a state alchemist sent here from central command." By this time Fullmetal and Al had caught up to me. "These two are my partners. We were sent here by Colonel Mustang's orders."

"Oh yes follow me." The officer led us down the alley toward two bodies."Civilians found the bodies this morning." The sight was horrible. Even with the tarps over them I could tell that the bodies were bloody.

"Whoever did this is a sick, sadistic person." I said. Even the walls had blood on them as well.

"You said it." For once Fullmetal agreed with me.

"There is another person working on the case, but she hasn`t been seen around Eastern command lately. But that`s not surprising." Said the officer. "She would often be discriminated against when she was there."

"Why`s that?"Al asked.

"Well she`s part Ishbalan... and she`s not afraid of showing it either."

"Hmmm...maybe we should track down this Ishbalan girl first." I suggested.

"Why should we?" Fullmetal asked.

"Because Fullmetal, if we find this girl she may be able to help us."

"She`s right brother. If she`s been gone that might mean that she`s been investigating this whole time." Al explained. By this time we were walking out of the alleyway.

Fullmetal started grumbling about me being right. I love it when I win.

"That settles it then. First we track down that girl then we catch that killer." I said while smiling at them. Al smiled back and Fullmetal looked like he had a small blush on his face.

"Yea, yea...whatever." He said while looking away.

"Okay then, we should start at Eastern Command. Let`s just hope it won`t take long to find her."

YAY! The first chapter is done! Who is this Ishbalan girl? Find out in the next chapter!
