Alright so this is my first FMA fanfic. It's more based off of Brotherhood than it is the other series.

And now onto my reason for no Royai. I would did not put Roy and Riza together for this story because Riza is an important character to the rest of the story. She does not have to be a martyr and it is better that she isn't. Apart from this story, I do ship Royai and find it totally adorable. Enjoy the story!

They stood together, blindfolded, handcuffed, and arms wrapped around each other. A cruel set up for an execution of the innocent. Cruel to make them die in each other's arms, to make them feel the other's pain. There was nothing to save their lives. The woman was crying softly, the tears soaking through the cloth. Her husband tried to comfort her, but no words of comfort could lessen the danger of the situation.

She shook her head. "It won't be okay," she said softly, hope completely gone from her voice. "They have guns pointed at us. We are going to die here."

He kissed her gently. "Then we die together."

"It's heartless," she mentioned, hanging her head low. "What are they waiting for? Why don't they just shoot us now? It feels like it's been hours."

"Brigadier General Mustang," a commanding officer finally called out. "You have been dishonorably discharged and sentenced to death for treason against the country, military, and its people. For aiding you in your infidelity, your wife Natasha, will be charged and executed with you."

"You never had any proof we did any of that!" Roy called out aggravated despite the situation.

At the commanding officer's order, a private went up to them and hit Roy in the back of his head with the butt of his gun. Roy buckled and Natasha tried catching him before he landed on his knees, pulling her down with him. She could feel the blood slowly flow down her fingers from the back of his head.

"Stand up," the private ordered. Roy stood up with his wife and stood firm in his place, but put some of his weight on Natasha to keep himself steady. His head was throbbing from the pain. He felt as if he was going to black out. He almost wished he had. The commanding officer called for guns to be raised. Suddenly, a familiar voice cried out, "STOP!"

Tobias.

Tobias turned to the commanding officer. "I order you to let them both go," he said sternly.

The officer shook his head. "Can't do that, Second Lieutenant. I have orders from the Fuhrer himself."

"From the Fuhrer himself?" Tobias repeated, astonished.

"Toby, it'll be alright," Natasha told him turning in the direction of his voice. "There's nothing more we can do now."

"You guys aren't guilty!" Tobias yelled. "Neither of you are guilty and they know it!"

"Tobias, listen to me," Roy said firmly. "Get out of here before you see something you shouldn't."

Tobias was conflicted. Should he go or should he stay? If he stayed, he may get a bullet through his heart as well. There was a very slim chance he could stop it now, but he did not know then gritted his teeth and announced to the whole area around him. "I'm going to clear our family name. I promise! If it's the last thing I do!"

"Second Lieutenant, please get out of the line of fire. We don't want you dead too," said the commanding officer, annoyed.

Tobias took one last look at his parents, shot a look of loathing to the commanding officer, and walked behind the firing squad. Shots rang out and Tobias watched as his parents' now lifeless bodies fell to the ground. "NO!" he cried running back towards their tangled forms. Five men had to keep him back from going to their side. "NO!" Tobias cried again. He wept loudly as the bodies were carried off and out of his sight. The men holding him let him fall to his knees as he cried in anguish. It was not until much later that Tobias wiped his face, got up, and dusted himself off. "The Mustang family name will be clear. I don't care how long it takes. I will clear it."

With that goal in mind, Tobias Mustang set off on the longest chapter in his life.

I've been playing around with this idea for quite a while. Thanks for reading and please leave a review! (be sure to follow/fav if you like it!) Also, please don't base what you think of this story on the first chapter. I promise, it gets much better after this one. I just used this one to help introduce the rest of the story. Again, thanks for reading!
