Revenge

A girl was walking along the sidewalk in the late afternoon, not having a care in the world. Then again, she's not worried about anyone coming to find her in the first place. Besides, all of her family has died from where she came from. She would love to abandon her so-called religion if she had the chance, but she was stuck with it. May she be forever frowned upon her not-so-worthy God. That's all the more reason why she hates her ruby eyes.

It's true, she's from Ishval. It's where the massacre took place between the people there and the State Alchemists. However, she wouldn't be recognized as such right off the bat. Her pale skin and her fake chocolate brown eyes say otherwise. Her shoulder-blade length burgundy hair, parted slightly to the right side of her face, made her stand out from the crowd, but only because people envied her hair color and…how short she is, that being 4'10.

It doesn't matter how tall she is, she doesn't get short-tempered other people would expect when making fun of her height. In fact, she's proud of how short she is. She normally acts like a smartass and somewhat of a child, considering she's only 15. However, what will really piss her off is when people would figure out that she's from Ishval, and immediately judge her because of what people assume she believes in. She would trade positions with an alchemist over an Ishvalian any day.

No matter what her God tells her to do, she decides her own path. The thing is she would be more than happy use alchemy. She would love to be a State Alchemist, but the other Alchemists would probably judge her because of what religion she's from. She wants that to change. That's why she's planning on heading to the Colonel in charge, hoping to take the test with their permission.

The girl's name is Lola Roberts.

-Lola-

Later on at night, Lola was still walking around someplace in Amestris. She had overheard this is what this whole country was called, which is how she knew. Lola didn't know exactly where she was, and frankly, she doesn't give a damn. What she didn't know was that she was right next to the fifth library in Central. Totally oblivious to this, Lola walked past the abandoned gate and went around the back, hoping to find some luck in her destination. That's when she heard a voice she recognized in the past.

"When I still had a flesh and blood body, the name people called me by was…the serial killer, Barry the Chopper!" a man's voice exclaimed from behind the wall.

Lola froze and looked at the wall. No… I thought he was dead! That bastard back then… he took the last thing that was important to me! Memories started to flow back into her mind, of how he killed someone precious to her. He almost cut off one of her limbs after he did the deed. He would've succeeded if only Lola hadn't moved away from him in time. Her hands started to shake, forming those hands into fists. The fear, anger, and hatred in her eyes can say she wanted to kill Barry the Chopper. Overwhelmed with fear, she started running down the sidewalk, which ascended to running up and over the wall with barbed wire. This was a trick she learned from her father before he passed away.

"I've come back from the depths of hell to take revenge against you, Alphonse! Especially your brother, Edward-!" Barry started to threaten until he fell to the ground by none other than the burgundy shrimp. "What the- What the hell?!"

Alphonse, the suit of armor, looked shocked at the girl's unexpected arrival, but he was relieved in a sense that Barry finally stopped talking. The girl's eyes were more filled with hatred as she took off Barry's helmet to find his bloody seal. Barry panicked and thrashed about just to get the pipsqueak off of him, but she clung onto him for dear life, still not giving up on the search. Alphonse, on the other hand, just looked confused and watched the whole thing emerge.

"Damn it! Where's your bloody seal?" Lola hissed at him, still having no luck in finding what she was looking for. Barry finally threw her off, and flew towards Alphonse. The boy in metal caught her with ease and placed her on the ground.

"Who the hell do you think you are, attacking me like that?" Barry asked, flabbergasted. Lola just rolled her eyes and looked at him. He grabbed his helmet, patted off invisible dust, and placed it back on his empty head.

"Do you remember me?" Barry would've looked confused. She would assume that he was thinking about this girl's appearance, which still didn't ring a bell. Yes, he kidnapped and killed kids a few years back, but he hasn't remembered this girl.

"Were you one of the girls I kidnapped back then?" Barry asked for confirmation. Lola nodded her head furiously. She took out one of her brown contact lenses to show Barry her bloody red eye.

"You should remember me… You killed my sister! She was only eight, you bastard!" Lola shouted at him, tears peaking over her eyes. Barry was silent for a moment, slowly progressed from a chuckle, and into insane laughter. While he was laughing, Lola carefully placed her contact back in her eye.

"Ah yes, now I remember you! You were a pain in the ass to kill, so I took out your sister. She was so smooth to cut… I'm glad I cut her up to pieces," Barry said dreamily.

"You sick bastard!" Barry ignored that comment and just kept on laughing in remembrance of her sister. He stopped laughing at started to glare teasingly at Alphonse.

"Say, your soul was bound by your pipsqueak brother, right?" Barry claimed, already giving the assumption he was right.

"Yeah, that's right! Brother will get angry at you. You see, he doesn't like being called pipsqueak," Alphonse informed Barry, who didn't care.

"Ah, but who's to say what you really are? Who's to say you're not an artificial soul?" Barry smirked evilly.

Lola saw what he was trying to do, considering the fact she remembered him trying to use the same method on her when she and her sister were kidnapped. In the end, her sister made her see the truth. But that had put an end to her short life. This is why she swore to live on for her sister. To make other people realize how irrational they're being and make those people see the light. Even though it wasn't easy, she still had to try.

Alphonse froze, and had no idea what to think when Barry made him doubt of what he really is. He recalled his brother trying to tell him something before, but Edward didn't tell him what he wanted to say. That, in turn, made Alphonse frustrated and confused. Was Barry right? Was Alphonse just an artificial soul? What was Edward not telling him?

All thoughts were disrupted when Barry threw Alphonse to the stone wall, leaving a giant dent. Lola ignored the argument between Barry and Alphonse. She instead looked over to the new visitor hopping over the wall. The stranger landed gracefully to the ground, and carefully eyed the three of them. Barry released Alphonse from the wall and charged to the newcomer, with butcher knife in hand. Shockingly, the stranger stopped Barry's foolish attack, leaving the metal contraption speechless. Lola only knew one person who would block an attack like that.

The newcomer was none other than Scar, who Lola looked to as an enemy, much like may State Alchemists.

Scar has white hair at the top and shaved grey hair below. His eyes were piercingly red through his ominous sunglasses, and had a giant scar on his forehead. His skin is dark, which contrasted with his yellow jacket, white shirt, black pants with white stripes, and black shoes. If anyone would look at him dead in the eye, they would consider it a warning to back off before he blew them to bits. Lola glared at Scar, as she knew he was from Ishval.

"Ah, it's you!" Alphonse exclaimed in shock.

"This is an acquaintance of yours?! That's dirty! Who knew you still had friends around?!" Barry yelled much like a child would when it didn't get something it wanted.

"Friends?" Scar rephrased in slight disgust. Barry was about to attack, but Scar smashed his right arm to pieces.

"W-What the…!" Barry's eyes widened as he came to realization that he no longer had a right arm.

"It serves you right. Oh, could you refresh my mind as to what might be as dirty as the possibility of being friends with Scar? Did you assume they had it in for each other?" she asked while wiggling my eyebrows for his annoyance. Alphonse chuckled lightly at Lola's remark.

"Y-You shut the hell up!" Barry shouted.

"I would if you stopped yelling at me." Barry continued yelling at Lola and she simply ignored him.

"Girl, how did you know my name?" Scar asked her. Oh shit.

"I nickname people by what stands out in their appearance. For you, it's the scar on your forehead. I called you that because I didn't know your real name. I do this with everyone, so don't get your pants in a twist," Lola explained cockily. Scar nodded in understanding and brought his attention back over to Barry.

"I see you have a wretched body too. May you find peace with God…" Scar started to incite while rolling up his right sleeve, showing his tattoos. Barry looked at him in possible shock as he wondered what those tattoos are doing there.

"Do you not know what that is?" Barry asked in amusement. Scar scowled and tried attacking him, only Barry avoiding the attack to no avail. Barry was near the wall of the library.

"What are you saying this is?!" Scar yelled at him.

"So you don't know. Let's see…" Barry started humming aloud for all of us to hear, and moved even closer to the wall.

"Barry, it sounds like you're having a really fun time with the wall over there," Lola pointed out bluntly, making Barry deadpan.

"Shut up you stupid girl!" Barry silenced me, but she kept a smirk up for a few seconds. Her smirk went down when she realized what he was trying to do. He slid part of the wall over, revealing a red button. "I guess I won't say anything." Not too long after, he pressed the button.

A large eruption came from within the library, making us see a light from the windows. The ground shook, but the three tried to hold their ground. Large rocks flew from the wall and headed towards Lola and Scar's way, but an armor of metal protected them. Barry was laughing like the mad-man that he is and started to go near the gaping hole the explosion had made. He was cheering like he had won, but this wasn't over yet.

"If you want to find out more about your arm, come try and find me!" Barry tempted while disappearing into the blackness inside the building.

"It seems he got away…" Alphonse muttered in disappointment.

"Um…could you get up?" Lola asked politely. Alphonse shot up from above us and apologized immediately. Scar stood up and started walking over to where Barry had disappeared into.

"Where are you going?" Alphonse asked Scar.

"If you're here, then Fullmetal must be inside," Scar pointed out. Despite Alphonse's pleas of trying to slow Scar down, Scar went inside either way. Alphonse sighed and stood up, holding out his hand for Lola to take.

"Huh?" she asked him.

"Didn't you want to come inside to get back at Barry?" Alphonse wondered aloud. Lola chuckled lightly and took his hand. The two walked into the library, not that far behind Scar. Alphonse thought for a moment before deciding to greet the girl properly. "My name's Alphonse Elric. What's your name?" She looked up at him with a small smile on her face, despite what had just went on in the last few minutes.

"My name's Lola Roberts," she introduced. Alphonse nodded while Scar looked back at the girl in confusion.

"That's a pretty name." Lola blushed at the compliment.

"T-Thank you…" Alphonse laughed at the girl's behavior.

"So, are you new around here?" Lola nodded.

"Yeah, I'm planning on becoming a State Alchemist, so I came here to take the test."

"That's cool!" Alphonse encouraged, having her smile more. "Where were you originally from?" Lola was silent for a moment before answering:

"A place I never want to return to."
