This is thinking
"This is talking"
OoOoOo
I sigh in exasperation as I scroll though the Fan Fiction website, I'd been trying FOREVER to find a good story! But I hadn't found anything yet!
There are so many Mary Sues!
I pause as suddenly an idea comes to me.
Maybe I should write about a Mary Sue!.. Actually no, they would drive me nuts… but maybe drawing it could be fun… maybe I'll take a page out of Ed and Al's book and try HUMAN TRANSMUTATION! ON A SUE!
I chuckle as grab my black sketchbook and flip to a random page, god I'm bored!
I quickly check on my laptop what a human transmutation alchemy circle looks like.
"Wow that looks complicated… like really complicated… HERE WE GO!
After 3 minutes, a few swears, and a lot of yelling I finally draw a transmutation circle in my sketchbook. It wasn't perfect but it'll do…
I'm lucky my parents are at work right now or they would be annoyed with all my yelling! Ok now on to the Sue! What should she look like…?
On top of the drawing of the transmutation circle I draw a girl my age (15) who is 4'10 feet tall.
Edward is 4'11 but with his elevator shoes and antenna he looks like he is 5'5, so either way with or without them she will be shorter than him! Just like a Sue! Ooooh and she has long silky black hair, and it reaches her waist! And of course it is NEVER messy!
I quickly draw her hair.
Oh and OF COURSE her eyes have to be HUGE and… PURPLE! Oh and it has tiny specks of silver in them!" I laugh as I draw them on her face… "She has to have an amazing smile and a small nose… oh duh also of course she has to have a hourglass figure! Her skin will be pale and have no blemishes at all! And she will be wearing… I know! A black crop top that is above her belly button oh and it has a red stripe running down the side because Ed's favourite colours are red and black! And she will be wearing a black mini skirt!
"Because OBVIOUSLY that is the right stuff to wear when fighting for your life!" I mutter as I draw her clothes, and for shoes I draw a pair of red pumps.
I chuckle to myself as I look down at my creation.
"And for her name… Raven Moon Blood! PERFECT!" I write her name on the top of the page.
Hmmm… now wha- oh how could I have forgot! OF COURSE she has to be ALSO be SUPER smart at science and great at alchemy! Actually she will also be a state alchemist, having become one at 13! Her state alchemist name will be… the wind alchemist! Because she uses wind alchemy which she invented!
"Oh god I hate her already! SUCCESS! Whoohoo let's try this!" I laugh and clap my hands and slap them to the page.
Nothing.
"Aw…ha well didn't really expect anything!' I swivel around in my chair, grab my sketchbook and start pushing at the ground with my feet, rolling my chair towards the door.
I start to drool as I remember that I have chocolate ice cream in the fridge downstairs.
I WANT CHOCOLATE! MAMA NEEDS HER- "WHAT THE HELL?!"
I scream in surprise and start at my sketchbook, my jaw nearly hitting the ground. The circle was glowing. Glowing blue light. IT WAS FUCKING GLOWING!
"WHAT THE FRACK?!" I yell and push off with my feet so hard than I flip the chair, it starts to fall over and my stomach lurches.
SMACK!The chair hits the ground and I shriek in surprise and roll of it, falling of it. Suddenly an image flashes through my head. There's a white figure… and it's standing in front of a… gate?
I lie on the hard floor confused.
Wait.
My floor is carpeted… why is the floor hard…?
I look at my white carpeted floor, or what it USED TO BE. Instead brown wood takes its place.
I stare at the floor, trying to remember how to breathe. WHAT…?
I hear a soft chuckle.
"That was a graceful fall Soldier." I hear a deep voice say with amusement.
"….what?" My head hurts and I feel like I'm spinning, I wonder if I'm hearing things. I sit up and rub my aching head and glance upwards at the voice.
Ok now I know I'm defiantly seeing things.
I gasp in shock as I stare at Roy Mustang, who is behind his desk smirking.
WHY IS EVERYTHING ANIMATED?! WHY IS ROY MUSTANG IN FRONT OF ME?!
"W-w-w…" I trail off my jar hanging open as I try to comprehend what the hell is going on.
"Seems you hit your head harder than I thought, get off the ground and put the chair back I have someone I want you to meet and they should be hear soon."
I just stare at him, and then I notice where he is looking. I look beside me and see a black chair, but it isn't my wheelie chair.
"Uh…ok…" I stand up and grab the chair, moving it to the front of his desk placing it beside another chair. I notice that I'm wearing the Amestris soldiers' uniform, except with pants and that weird long half skirt thing like Hawkeye has. Strangely I have an odd belt with lots of pockets. And I realize I'm wearing black fingerless gloves.
My body practically moves automatically as thoughts zip around my head like lightning. Maybe I hit my head really hard when I fell and now I'm dead? In a coma? No wait I bet this is a dream!
"This is so cool!" I mumble to myself as I sit back in the chair.
"Did you say something?" Mustang asks me.
"U-uh no! Uh… sir…?" I say it like it's a sort of question.
I'm supposed to call him sir right?
Mustang gives me a strange look but just says "Get yourself together; they're going to be here any second."
"…Who…sir?" He just smirks again, then as if right on cue…
SLAM!
I nearly fall off the damn chair again. I scramble around a bit getting myself back into a sitting position, than whip my head around looking for the source of the noise. I glance at blur of gold and red kicking open the door and rushing forwards slamming into the desk near me.
I give a little yelp and turn towards the thing next to me. The thing turns out to be a short looking boy, with blond hair in a braid, wearing black and red, with gold eyes, gold eyes that are currently glaring at Mustang.
Oh…my…god. Must. Refrain. From. Fangirling!
The one and only Edward Elric was standing right beside me, looking very pissed.
"What the hell Colonel?! I have things to do I can't come at your beck and call all the time!" He yells frustration evident in his voice.
"Brother!" I hear a high pitch voice say behind me, I whip my head around again.
I'm starting to feel dizzy with all this head turning.
I watch as a giant suit of armour ducks underneath he door way and runs over to the angry Ed, grabbing him before he can launch himself over the desk and try to strangle Mustang.
"Brother please! Calm down!" As Edward starts yelling insults and Alphonse tries to calm him down I stare at the two in complete shock.
"Who's she?" I blink as I realize that she means me. Ed seems to have calmed down and now is looking at me suspiciously.
I try to answer his question but it seems like my speaking abilities have taken a vacation. I try to form words probably looking like a fish out of water, thankfully Mustang answers Edwards question.
"Fullmetal meet Miss Terri Dan a soldier, she will be accompanying you on your next mission for protection.
Terri… Dans? What that's me? My name is Cori Rostel! And I'm going to be traveling with the Elrics…
"WAIT I'M WHAT?!" I shriek at the same time Edward hollers "HELL NO!"
"Waitwaitwaitwait!" I jump up taking a few steps back as I wave my hands aroud in front of me.
As much as traveling with the Elrics sounds AWESOME, there's NO WAY in hell I can protect them!
"I have no confidence in my ability to make sure these two don't end up dead!" I shriel, but Mustang just laughs.
"Why are you being so modest Terri? I've seen you use you're knives I trust that you will be able to keep the Elrics in one piece."
ESQUEEZE ME?! KNIVES?! WHAT KNIVES?! Since when was I good with KNIVES?!
I have to hold back a squeak of shock as I look down at the odd belt I have, suddenly realizing something. I open up one of the pockets on the side of the belt and look in shock at the 5 daggers it has inside. I open up another pocket and find a few knifes. I have 2 pockets on my belt, 1 on my right side and one on my right left side. In total I have 10 daggers.
Oh crap, he expects me to be able to protect Ed and AL with KNIVES?! I CAN'T PEEL A BLOODY APPLE WITHOUT IT LOOKING LIKE A WALRUS KNAWED ON IT! NEVERMIND USING A KNIFE AS AN ACTUAL WEAPON!
I look up from the knives realizing the conversation had moved on.
"I'll be sending you off on a dangerous mission Fullmetal, you're going to need help. There's also one more person coming…
And AGAIN just like on cue someone steps through the doorway.
"I presume you're talking about me?" I hear a girl's voice ask, her voice is annoyingly high pitched. Kind of like a retarded Alvin and the Chipmunks girl version.
I turn around to see a short girl with pale skin and long black hair, large purple eyes (with silver specks in them) with an amazing figure, wearing a black crop top with a red stripe down the side, with a black mini skirt and pumps stand looking shyly at us. Her left leg is automail.
"Sugar honey ice tea." I mumble in shock staring at the girl. But no one else takes notice of what I said, Edward stands looking at the girl also in shock with a slight blush creeping on to his face, Alphonse is also staring at the girl and I could guess if he could he would be blushing. Mustang just puts his feet on his desk, leans back in his chair and smirks. Again. I was really starting to hate that smirk.
"Everyone meet Raven Moon Blood the Wind Alchemist."
Ok obviously this isn't a dream. This is a FUDGING NIGHTMARE!
While Mustang asks Raven to close the door Ed seems to get over his shock.
"I've heard a lot about you! You created wind alchemy right?" Ed looks curiously at her.
Oh. My. God. What have I DONE?! I've unleashed THE SUE! EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVESSSSS!
Instead of yelling at everybody to jump out the window and run, like I wanted too, I just quietly groaned and slowly sank back into the chair.
"That's right!" She replies in that annoying voice. She then tilts her head a little and smiles.
Oh dear lord, you would have thought Edward's head was suddenly a tomato from the shade it was.
"Raven, this is the Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, his little brother Alphonse Elric." Mustang gestures at each of us then turns towards me. "And this is Terri Dans a soldier who will be going with you."
"It's nice to meet you all! Wow the Fullmetal Alchemsit? I've heard so much about you! I hope we get all get along!" Raven tilts her head and smiles again.
I suddenly feel very, very sick.
"Y-yah I can't wait to work with you!" Ed grins at Raven sheepishly.
WAIT, so when he finds out I'M going to travel with him, he says 'HELL NO!' but when he finds out SHE'S coming he's fine with it?! Why am I even surprised. She's a freaking Sue of course he loves her.
Alphonse looks over at me and watches in confusion as I rapidly pinch my arm.
I quickly realize that pinching isn't helping me wake up; I look up when I hear Al's voice.
"Uh… Terri are you alright?" I can feel myself blush as everyone turns to look at me.
"Uh… yep I'm peachy!'
… Peachy? Peachy?! PEACHY?! When have I ever used the word PEACHY?!
"Sooooo…." I try to think of a way to distract them. "Uh M-Sir" Woah almost called him Mustang there, I think that would be a sign of disrespect or something. I don't know, is it? I don't know this stuff!
"Where are we heading?" I ask looking over at Mustang. Ed had finally stopped looking at Raven and also looked over at Mustang.
"I'm sending you to a town in the north it's called Laustle. There have been some strange disappearances-" Edward cut's him off.
"What do you mean strange? And why do I need help with this case?"
"If you let me finish Fullmetal" Mustang looks at Ed, his eye twitching a bit. "I'm getting there. The strange thing about the disappearances is that whenever someone's disappeared people in town sometimes see a red glow in the area where they vanished. Also if the victim has any family the relatives receive a note at least a week after the disappearance. It always says the same thing. 'There sacrifice will be put to good use.'"
I feel a chill go up my spine.
"A red glow…" Edward mumbles than glances over at Alphonse, they both look at each other and seem to communicate something.
"How many have gone missing?" Al asks.
"Seventeen people have disappeared; the seventeen people have been twelve citizens, two alchemists, and three state alchemists." At this Ed looked up sharply at Mustang.
"State alchemists were the first to disappear, only after all the state alchemists in the town were gone did citizens and other alchemists start to go missing." Mustang continued speaking, looking at all in turn, he's face serious.
"So it seems whoever is taken them, if they are being taken, prefers state alchemists over citizens and normal alchemists, but will still kidnap them if there's no other state alchemists left." Edward speaks calmly, watching Mustang.
HOW IS HE SO CALM ABOUT THIS?! This is FREAKY!
"Correct, this is why it's helpful that this two go with you." Mustang waves a hand at Raven and I.
"Raven's skills as an alchemist can help you greatly, while Terri is not a state alchemist so hopefully she won't be targeted, at least not straight away. The same applies to Alphonse."
I have to refrain myself from gulping. I have a bad feeling…
"Also," Mustang says sharply looking into each of our eyes. "The orders to send you four on this mission comes the Fuhrer himself."
I can't help but let out a gasp at this, and I'm not the only one as I hear a sharp gasp come from Al. Ed looks shocked, and Raven looks… Raven doesn't look confused or shocked at all. She just smiles. Creepy.
"T-the Fuhrer? But why…?" I ask feeling bewildered. My bad feeling? Yah it just increased. This is an 11 out 10 on the 'creepy as hell' scale.
"I don't know. We take our orders and don't ask questions. You will return to your homes and get whatever you think you will need and be at the train station at 4." I look up at the clock on the wall; it reads that it's 2.
"You will need to go to the town Seihge then get on a different train to reach Laustel. The total trip to Laustel will take 2 days."
2 DAYS?! ON A TRAIN?! Noooooo! And crap I don't even know where my home IS! How am I supposed to get my stuff?! DO I EVEN HAVE STUFF?! HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO SURVIVE THIS?!
"Terri." It takes me a few seconds to realize that's my name. Dang that's going to get some taking used too.
"Yah- uh Sir?" I glance at Mustang my hands absent mindedly fiddling with the knives in the pockets of my belt.
"You can call me Colonel you know, you always did." I blush a bit at this but force myself to continue looking at him.
"Also since you live a bit far, and you can't afford to be late I'll be having Second Lieutenant Havoc drive you home and to the station. "
SLAM!
And for the fourth time that day, scratch that is this the fifth? I almost fall out of my chair in surprise.
Everyone turns towards the door which has been slammed open. I can hear Mustang mutter something about the door going to break one day with all this slamming of it. But I ignore him, intend choose to stare at Havoc as he rushes in looking flustered.
"But Sir!" he cries glancing at me then Mustang. "I can't escort her! I have a date!" He looks pleadingly at Mustang.
"Second Lieutenant Havoc." Ice coats Mustangs words and I notice Havoc flinch. "Were you eavesdropping? Also do you mean to tell me you were prepared to go off and have a date during work hours?" Mustang's eye begins to twitch again.
Havoc looks surprised and then starts sweating profusely, and starts to wave his hands in front of him.
"W-w-what?! O-of course not Colonel! I was just…" Havoc glances around at us (I notice Ed laughing quietly to himself)
"I- you know what? It's almost time for your train! I mean thing! I mean… come on! Let's get going!" Havoc panics and grabs my wrist and starts to drag me through the doorway.
"Uh…ok…" Havoc slams the door behind me and runs out of the office, I look behind me as we run out. I notice Riza, Furer, Breda, and Fallman sitting at some desk watching us curiously as we zip out. I can help the giant smile that stretches across my face.
Mustang's team! So cool!
"HAVOC! WAIT!" I hear Mustang yell out but Havoc just drags me faster, I turn around to see an angry Mustang running behind us waving a piece of paper in the air. "You forgot to get the address idiot!"
Havoc pauses in surprise but then turns around snatching the paper out of Mustangs hand. "Right! I won't let you down sir!"
Mustang looks like he wants to say something but before he can Havoc grabs my arm and resumes dragging me through a door and out into the hallway, ignoring an angry yell from Mustang.
This is going to be..interesting…
OoOoOo
