New wars to come
Summary: Set 2 years after promising day … After finding out Creta is going to attack Amestris, General Roy Mustang is sent along with Major Riza Hawkeye and 500 men to the borderlines of Creta to the Village near Suxecu in West Area to validate this information. Royai, rated T for violence.
Author note: Hello there! After rewatching FMA and FMA B for so many times and finding my new OTP Royai :) I just came up with this idea. Just to get you in the story, the storyline is set 2 years after Promised day. So basically Roy Mustang got his eyesight back, pretty much helped Ishval and was promoted to General, as we saw on the last page of manga (chpt. 108). Riza Hawkeye was promoted to Major 3 months before this story. She is still right hand of Mustang.
I just hope this story will come out good, hope you will like it, anyway, let's get into it. 😊
ooOOoo
It has been 2 years since the Father fell along with King Bradley. Grumman getting promoted helped to get things right in the military and also in Amestris.
Riza hawkeye had a lot of work to do since then, getting promoted didn't help to get some work off her shoulders, it just piled up more and with Roy Mustang slacking in his work, there was just more and more to it.
She was sitting behind her table in the office working on some documents, when something caught her eye. There were two letters, first one coming from Resembool and the second one from Führer Grumman. Riza pretty much just read between the lines, since she didn't sleep for 30 hours now thanks to work, finding something interesting in it though.
"General?" she said without even looking up … No answer. She had to look up just to see her superior sitting in his chair, laying on the table, eyes closed, no movement except for his breathing.
Standing up she approached his table and without him noticing placed a hand on his shoulder trying to wake him up.
Roy Mustang, being woken up from his nearly 10 minutes sleep looked over his shoulder to see Riza Hawkeye standing there, holding a letter, "what's wrong Major?" . "General, there was a letter from Führer Grumman, that today in 2 hours you have to come to his office." "Did he write why?" "No sir." Roy turned his head around resuming the papers which he just slept on. "Okay Major, remind me in 1 and half hour to go there." "Yes, sir. Also there was a letter from Resembool stating Edward Elric and his brother came home." All she got as a reply, was just … "okay".
After relaying the message to General, she went to sit down and work on her documents once more. One and half hour passed, she packed all the things unfinished and went to wake up Roy, who fell asleep right after he got the information from her.
Placing a hand on his shoulder once more she woke him up and after 5 minutes of time they left the office.
Arriving at the Führer's office, Riza was told to wait for him near the door, just outside the room.
General Roy Mustang knocked on the door and after approvement from the inside, he entered the room. Führer Grumman sat at his table, looking at Roy with stern eyes.
"I got a message from the West city General, supposedly there were sightings of larger army from Creta near the border, watching the West area from afar." Just then he narrowed his eyes. "I want you to take around 500 soldiers. You may take whoever you want. Your destination will be a small village near the city of Suxecu. You are to observe the enemy and relay the information about the movement of Cretan army. You are to leave tomorrow morning. That is all. You are dismissed" After obtaining the message, Roy Mustang saluted to the Führer and with words "Yes sir" turned around and left the room.
Just outside he motioned for Riza to follow and silently, she obeyed. When they entered their office, she closed the door behind him and Roy interrupted the silence, while looking outside the window. "I am to leave tomorrow, there is an upcoming fight on the border of Creta, I am to observe their movements. I want you to come with me, will you watch my back once again Major?". "Of course sir." Closing his eyes and sighing he turned to her. "Okay, you may leave for today." "What about you General?" Roy moved to his table "I have to finish this, it will take a bit, but it has to be done till we leave for West."
"Then I must refuse your offer sir, we will finish it sooner if both of us work on it, you haven't slept for two days…" "Same as you" he interrupted her with closed eyes. "Okay then, we will finish it as soon as possible, then I will drive you home, it will be late"
When they finally finished all the paperwork, it was already 11 p.m. Roy sighed and all Riza could here, was silent "hurray" leaving his lips.
ooOOoo
Thanks to General's car, Riza came home sooner then she would by foot. She was able to pack some things and get ready for tomorrow 's leave.
ooOOoo
It was 6 a.m. in the morning when she found herself on the train station alongside General, waiting for everyone to load the train with everything they needed in the upcoming visit in West Area. She shared a coupe with General obviously, since she is supposed to be his bodyguard.
The travel was quiet, Roy was finishing whatever sleep he missed in the night and Riza was not even taking off her eyes from the beautiful scenery all around her. Sometimes she glanced at him to ensure he was safe. Before arriving to the final destination he woke up and yawned groggily. "Are we there already?" he asked turning to Major. "In a few sir" said Riza still watching out of the window. "What is wrong?" came the next question from his lips. Riza now turned to look into his with questioning look. "Don't look like that on me Major, you are quiet since yesterday." "It is just that I don't feel good about all this, I think something wrong will happen", the only response she got was "hmm".
After setting up the main base in a village and evacuating all the citizens from the dangerous zones, they were all positioned near the border to observe the enemy. Problem was there was no one, absolutely no one and it worried Roy.
He decided he will take a look himself, Riza coming along, both of them walking all over the village looking everywhere.
They did not see it coming, none of them did. Suddenly they heard shouts and gunshots. There were enemies all around them, everywhere they looked, someone was there. Roy snapping his fingers and Riza shooting with everything she had, they somehow survived when suddenly, she got shot to the left leg. Falling down to her feet, Riza looked at the one she got shot from, engulfed in flames of anger created by her superior standing near her.
Grabbing her by her waist he quickly leapt behind the corner, so they would be out of sight of their pursuers. "Major! Are you okay?!" "Yes, I am sir" I tried standing up and then I saw something in corner of my eye, there was a blistering light there, I immediately knew what was that, grabbing my gun from the holster I immediately shot, sighing, when the light disappeared glad I got him.
But then something fell on my face, it was red, it was blood. I turned around to the source of the dripping warm liquid. Then I saw him, Roy Mustang, hovering over me, eyes wide and in the next second he was in my arms, limp.
ooOOoo
