Year 0, August-
SETTING - A small town. A row of houses are strewn together, almost like a shopping center. The grass is bright green, and the sun is shining on all of the houses, stores, and stations. There is one house that stands out above all others, however. It sits on top of a 9-foot tall block, with rusty metal handlebars poking out in a row, allowing you to climb. This house is what we will focus on.
(A child's knock gently echoes against the wooden door as it then opens, revealing three children.)
HIZUI: Mom? We're home!
(A woman who stands at about 5'4 with a right auto-
mail arm exits the kitchen after setting down a dish.
She smiles, then kneels down to their height.)
SUKIA: Hello, Hizui! Naomi, Khikoru.
KHIKORU: (Smiles)
NAOMI: Hello! (Grins)
HIZUI: Hey, Mom! (Hugs Sukia)
KHIKORU: Ms. Noramutsu? Who's "Pride"
SUKIA: ..P-Pride?! Where'd you hear that!
KHIKORU: There's a few people in all black outside. Why?
(Sukia gains a worried look, then dashes to the window that rests next to the front door. She peeks through the white blinds.)
SUKIA: (muttering) Six of them.
HIZUI: Mom? What's wrong?
SUKIA: N-Nothing. Let me listen to what they're saying.
(Sukia claps her hands, then places them on the ground,
transmuting a golden pipe.)
HOMUNCULUS 1: This is for Pride. I want you to rem-
ember that.
HOMUNCULUS 2: What about his daughter?
HOMUNCULUS 1: Addie?
HOMUNCULUS 3: Where the hell is that little bitch, any-
way?
HOMUNCULUS 1: Watch your language. And she's with Renald, Bifein, and Zizefia.
HOMUNCULUS 4: Isn't Zizefia a chick?
HOMUNCULUS 1: Yeah.
HOMUNCULUS 4: Then why's she in that village?
HOMUNCULUS 3: Zizefia-Dono? Man, I'd like to bang her.
HOMUNCULUS 5: You're disgusting!
HOMUNCULUS 3: Oh, lighten up Miss Lazy.
HOMUNCULUS 5: Look. My mother named me "Lady," not "Lazy.
HOMUNCULUS 3: They're both retarded-ass names anyway.
HOMUNCULUS 1: Dammit, that's enough!
(All homunculi remain silent.)
HOMUNCULUS 1: Now I'm sure that our Leader doesn't want to hear all of our bitching. So shut your traps now, and I mean NOW!
HOMUNCULUS 3: Fine, piss-ass.
HOMUNCULUS 1: Leader, what shall we do to this God-forsaken village?
HOMUNCULUS 6: ...Blow up this fucking place.

(Sukia jerks upward, then turns to the children)
SUKIA: Everyone duck for cover! Now!
(They all run about in the household. Hizui hides under the bed with Naomi and Khikoru. Explo-
sions begin to sound outside as Sukia detaches her automail arm. Flames begin to engulf the area as smoke fills it, and then...darkness.)
HIZUI: (manages to escape from the collapsed bed)
N-Naomi? (glances around nervously, then pushes a leather briefcase out of his way to see Naomi and Khikoru's dead bodies) C-C'mon, Naomi! You've got to wake up! How can you be asleep at a time like this?! (glances at Khikoru) Khikoru! Wh-what about you?! You-you're both asleep?! (crawles out from under the bed, only to see ruins) Mom?! Mo-
(A man enters the room through the ruins, then approaches Hizui)
ROY: You alright?
HIZUI: I...I don't know. Where's my mom?
ROY: What's her name?
HIZUI: Um..Sukia, I think.
ROY: Never heard of anyone with that name.
HIZUI: Okay...why're you here?
ROY: I'm trying to find all the survivors.
HIZUI: Soor...vee voors?
ROY: People that still lived after what happened just moments ago.
HIZUI: What happened?
ROY: You don't know?
HIZUI: (Shrugs and shakes head) No.
ROY/That's for the best.
HIZUI: What?
ROY: N-nothing...how old are you?
HIZUI: Seven.
ROY: So...you're pretty big now, right?
HIZUI: I guess...who are you?
ROY: My name is Roy Mustang, and I'm the Fuhrer.
HIZUI: What's a fuhrer?
ROY: A person who holds the top position in the military.
HIZUI: Is the military those people that were outside?
ROY: What?
HIZUI: My mom transmuted a pipe, then listened to them talking. It's over there. (Points to wrecked pipe)
ROY: (Glances at it) How many people were there?
HIZUI: Six, I think.
ROY/One of them.../ What's your name, kid?
HIZUI: Hizui Noramutsu.
ROY: Well...(glances around) You need to stay with me.
HIZUI: Why?
ROY: Because...Well, I'll tell you when you turn 8. How does that sound?
HIZUI: Okay! (smiles)
ROY: When's your birthday?
HIZUI: December Seventeenth.
ROY: (nods) Okay, then. Follow me.
HIZUI: Wait.
ROY: Huh?
HIZUI: I..I saw a briefcase under my mom's bed. Can I take it with me?
