I met him when I was only seven… And in those moments that I knew him, I knew he was going to save me. When he stretched his hand out for me to come with him, I took it. I wanted out of that miserable life and into his. And Edward Elric gave me that opportunity. But, I didn't expect to find myself in the middle of a military base, with my right arm missing from my body…
"Why do you want to become a state alchemist, Miss. Sloane?" The old guy asked me. He had only one green eye showing, and the other was covered by an eye patch. Wrinkles creased his face, making him look like a sweet old man. His black hair was slicked back, he wore a blue military uniform and a sword at his waist.
I was only twelve. Four years before now, Colonel Roy Mustang adopted me as his daughter, and trained me to be a state alchemist. His reasoning? Because I wanted to be stronger.
I looked straight into Furher Bradley's eyes and said, "Because I made a promise, and if that means becoming the militaries dog, then so be it."
His green eyes bore into my blue ones. He was calculating me, seeing if I had what it takes. Bradley laughed… "You are just like your father! Go on into the next room."
I was shocked that I actually passed… Dad always told me that he was very strict when it come to the state alchemist tests. That little jerk… Been pulling my leg for these past four years! I slowly got up from the chair and walked to the other room. In there, there was three other alchemists. But, the difference was that they were full grown men.
"He actually passed you?" One said shocked.
"A little shortie like you?" One laughed.
The other one was silent, but he was studying me. "It's because Mustang is your Dad, isn't it?"
I glared up at him. "I got here on my own two legs, I don't need any help from Mustang."
I hated when people did that… Thinking I got special treatment because my Dad was well known. Sighing, I went over to a seat and sat down, ignoring the other three men.
I wonder if now I could find him faster… Will he remember me? Probably not… I changed from the past five years. I thought more and more on the subject, then suddenly. I found myself asleep.
I felt someone shaking me and calling my name. I wanted them to go away, to leave me alone, but they wouldn't.
"Sloane, come on." I heard my Dad. "I have something for you."
I opened my eyes slowly. "It better be some ice cream or something or else I giving you a good hit with my right arm." Dad just smiled and showed me his silver pocket watch, the one thing that tells who is a state alchemist or not. "Why are you showing me your pocket watch?"
"This isn't mine." He laughed. "This is yours."
I shot up from my seat, grabbing the pocket watch. "Are you serious? What's my code name?"
Dad laughed and sat down. "The Furher has a ironic of humor… You'll be known as the Blue Flame Alchemist."
I thought about it for a moment, then grinned. "Tell him I like it! Feels nice and imitating!"
"Come on, I have work tomorrow and you have to get up early." Dad got up, placing his arm on my shoulders and started walking out.
"Can't I miss military school just this once?" I whined.
Dad laughed. "No, your graduating tomorrow! Of course you can't!"
I groaned and continued to argue with him.
*Three years later*
"Hughes!" I growled at the older man. He was talking about his wife and daughter for the thousandth time over again, and it was driving me nuts! My black hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail so it wouldn't get in my food as I ate. My crisp blue military uniform was getting annoying, and was about to throw the jacket at Hughes. "I'm at my lunch break! Why don't you go bother my dad?!"
Hughes was about the same age as my Dad. They both had black hair, but Hughes had green eyes that were always hidden behind those glasses of his.
"I tried!" Hughes pouted. "But, that Mustang always slams the door in my face!"
"Can't imagine why…" I growled.
Hughes ignored my comment and went on talking about his family, and other things. "Oh, and do you remember the name; Fullmetal?"
That got my attention. "Yeah, he's infamous. Everyone heard his name at least once or twice… Why?"
"Well, I just going to meet them!" He smiled widely. "Want to come?"
I thought about for a moment then smiled. "I would love to go."
Hughes didn't even give me a chance to put down my fork, before he dragged me off to my Dad's headquarters. Major Hughes bursted through the doors, yelling; "Roy! How goes? Heard you let him put you in charge of catching the Freezer, huh!? One heck of a nasty assignment! But hey! Could be your chance to earn that promotion to Central! Oh see! Looks like my timing was perfect! You two are the Elric brothers, right!? Wow! It's an honor to finally meet the youngest State Alchemist ever. You're a real legend around here! I'm Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes! A pleasure!"
My eyes darted to the blonde sitting down. His gold eyes were studying Hughes. I felt my breath catch in my throat. Releasing me, Hughes went over to the armored boy's hand shaking it vigorously. But he cut him off. "Ah… You want Edward. I'm actually his younger brother, Alphonse."
Hughes stepped back, shocked. "What!? You're The Fullmetal Alchemist? Sorry! I had no Idea you were…"
Edward looked so funny as he was sending dagger at Hughes with his eyes.
My dad was sitting at his desk, his black eyes glaring. His black hair was getting in his sort of long for a Colonel… Riza was standing close by, her blonde hair up in a tight clip and her blue eyes trained onto anyone consider a threat.
"Hughes…" Dad growled at him, then saw me. "Sloane?"
"Yeah?" Hughes and I said together,
"What are you doing here?" My dad sighed. "Go home."
Hughes grinned at his old friend. "Actually I'm here on official business!" He looked towards the two brothers. "You, Elrics! I understand that you don't have a place to stay. which means that you'll have to come with me!"
Hughes pounce on them, with his pictures of his family, causing the brother to yell.
"Oh, Hughes." I laughed.
"My wife Gracia and my daughter Elicia." He grinned silly. "We'd love to have you!"
The Elrics looked reluctant. I laughed and said. "There is no way he'll take no for an answer."
"Anyway, Sloane." He sighed, then pointed to the boys. "These are those two boys that I-"
"Don't talk to me like I'm stupid, Colonel Mustang." I said firmly. "I can put two and two together. These are the Elric brothers. And blondie over there is the Fullmetal Alchemist."
"And you are?" Edward asked me.
I felt my heart tighten and answered. "I'm General Sloane Mustang, but you can call me Sloane."
Edward's eyes and mouth were opened wide. "Mustang?! As in-"
"Me?" My Dad smiled. "Yep, she's my kid, Fullmetal."
Edward's mouth closed, but he continued to study me closely. "How is it you're a General?"
I grinned at him, because I always loved explaining this part. "Well you see… I actually excel in politics and the military. And because I beat the Iron Blood Alchemist in a duel that I got this ranking."
"You shouldn't be gloating that all around." Dad scolded.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to Edward, trying to find an recognition, but there wasn't any. "You don't recognize me, do you?"
Edward raised an eyebrow. "Should I?"
"No… I guess you shouldn't." I shook my head. This Edward did look younger than my Edward…. Did I somehow been thrown in the past? I looked toward them again, they were being dragged out the door by Hughes.
"Sloane?" Dad looked at me concerned. "Was he the one-"
"I don't want to talk about this, Colonel." I stated.
My dad froze, him and Riza then stood and saluted me. I straightened and saluted back. "Riza, Make sure he will be home for dinner!"
"Yes, sir!"
I turned on my heel and walked out the door. As soon as I was somewhere, where no one would see me. I let myself cry. Edward didn't know me… Not even the slightest. I felt tears roll down my face. He was suppose to know me!
"This isn't the time!" I scolded myself, then rubbed my face clean of tears and strutted toward my office.
In my office I had a few lieutenants and majors working for me. I even borrowed my Dad's subordinates. But, Havoc wasn't one of them… He was actually in a sense 'banned' from my office.
"Havoc!" I called him out.
The blonde shot up scared, saluting. He was flirting with one of my subordinates again. His green eyes looked a little worried.
"How many time do I have to ask you to leave my subordinate alone?" I growled. Havoc looked like he was about to answer but I cut him off. "Don't answer that… I have something for you to do for me though."
"Sir?" He studied me.
"I tell Colonel Mustang that I will be supervising everything that has to do with the Elric brothers, understood?" I ordered.
"Yes sir!" And he walked out.
My assistant, Angel was giving me a weird look. Angel had brown hair pulled into a tight bun, and glasses hiding her pretty hazel eyes. "Sir? Why are you-"
"Now isn't the time!" I glared at my desk that was full of paperwork. "I have lots of work and because of that Idiot Major Hughes… I didn't have a chance to eat!"
I sat down on my desk and started reading over the paperwork.
"Tell, Armstrong that I need him to go on a mission for me." I ordered Angel, who was talking on the phone.
"Sir, I understand." She hung up the phone and walked over to me. "Colonel Mustang has requested your help to catch Freezer, sir." Angel told me where he was heading.
I groaned, then stood up. "Make sure this is all done by the time I get back, I don't want to pull an all nighter two days in a row!"
Angel nodded and started on the rest of the paperwork.
As soon as I was out the door, I sprinted out the building. Kept running down the streets, not stopping until I got to the building that my Dad said he would be. i sprinted up the stairs and say my dad standing with soldiers standing a few feet away from him, with their guns ready to fire.
"It's been a long time, Freezer." Dad smirked.
"Well, Roy Mustang…" Freezer the Flame Alchemist cam out to play?"
"You can make this easier on the both of us." Dad didn't seem too amused. "I'd rather not fight an old war buddy"
"War buddy?" Freezer scoffed. "Please, don't flatter yourself… I knew no friends in Ishval." He turned around to face us. "Only military jerks and their dogs!"
I stepped forward, and frowned. I knew Freezer he was my subordinate once. He used to be such a good soldier, but something happened…"Freezer, stop this now."
Freezer glared, then laughed. "I don't think so!"
Dad snapped his fingers, his cloth glove giving off a spark, then flames shot towards Freezer. But as quickly me dad did his move, so did freezer. Water exploded everywhere, drenching us all, especially me and my dad. Freezer making an ice bridge, ran off, melting it behind as soon as he was on the other building..
"Why that little-!" I growled. "This was my favorite one!"
I turned on my heel and started to run down the steps, taking off my jacket at the same time and throwing it at one of the soldiers, leaving only my white tank top underneath. Running down the streets I started to search for Freezer, but got cut off by a huge wall of ice. I felt my eyebrow twitch with anger.
"You think this can stop me!" With my bare hand, I snapped my fingers. Blue flames bursted out the air and surrounded the wall of ice. I kept snapping and snapping, but the ice would just come back. "Freezer!"
I huffed, and turned to find an alternate route. In the near distance I can hear guns being fired, and my Dad shouting at the ice wall just as I had been doing just a moment ago.
"Daughter like Father, I guess." I laughed, running along the ice wall.
Making some turns here and there I found the Elrics and Major Armstrong.
"Stand back to prepare for display of Armstrong Alchemy!" Armstrong yelled.
"He's all yours, Major!" I heard Edward reply.
Armstrong sparkles came out as he yell; "Witness, the Alchemic art passed down the Armstrong line for generations!" he slammed his iron gloves against the ice wall, but that didn't help at all, since it just went the opposite direction.
"That's unexpected…" Armstrong stated.
Edward gawked, then yelled at Armstrong. "What the heck are you doing? You made it worse!"
Armstrong started to defend himself, but the Elric brothers started off into their own conversation.
"Armstrong!" I yelled, catching everyone's attention. "You call that stopping Freezer?!"
"General?" Edward looked shocked, then I remember I didn't have my jacket on. "You have automail?"
Will post more soon :)
