I ::The Reason. I Fight::
Author's Note: I wanted to make a side story about FMA and This is the result, It's about what I imagined before the beginning of the Manga/Brotherhood. but, Honestly…another reason is that, I just want to write about Roy Mustang's past. I was just curious…But let me say that it will be awhile before he comes to the story, :)
Warning: This story has OC's…This is the past, But I will try to make them blend in well…and only a few…
Disclaimer: I only made this story and some OC's, But not Fullmetal and It's characters.
-ooOoo-
Why do I fight?
" That's simple…Because I wanted to live…"
" I've always believe that If I fight, I could protect everyone close to me…"
" I've always believe in that thought…I thought that I could do it with my own power…"
" But now, on this battlefield…I felt only like a pawn…"
" A mere pawn, weak…Unable to do something with his freewill…"
" A mere dog, who follows and obeys, irrational and unreasonable Orders "
" Did I make the right decision? "
" I've always wondered…Is this really the reason why we fight…? "
" To kill or be killed? To follow or betrayal? With blood and tears…? "
Then I walked on this bloody path, and the dusk sky, I ask myself…
" What is…The reason, I fight? "
-ooOoo-
::Prologue::
- The Reason, I Fight -
I became a soldier because I want to help people…That was my reason…But now as I walk through this blood stained sand…Did I make the right decision…?
A Soldier fights…a soldier defends…a soldier kills…That was our job…
It's quite a pain in the chest to realize that a soldier who swore to protect the people is killing them instead…It's quite sickening…But it's our job…and orders are orders…Where's the justice in that…?
But I no longer have the reason to judge that…I have no reason to hesitate nor doubt and regret…
I have already pulled the trigger…and there is no going back…
I've seen so many died within my eyes…So many blood, tears and anguish…Even though It's my job, I really can't see any valid reason why we have to do this…
They barely had any faults…But what's the point of this uprising…? Just a little misunderstanding and this happened…But I guess that is why there is wars…Because of this misunderstandings and the consequences are painful…
" Hey we need help over here! "
Looks like another slaughter…Even though the enemies are few…they are pretty powerful, with their alkahestry…It's really embarrassing that our state alchemist can barely stood a chance…
What can I do? I'm only a mere Infantry man…But with my beliefs, I stood up and fight…rather than to sit and watch…
" We need help here, hurry! Call a medic! Damn it! There are so many over there! "
I can no longer watch as others risk their lives…While I let things unfold as I watch…I can't just watch…I had to do something, I have to see it with my own eyes…I have to fight.
" Darn it! They're so powerful, Sergeant, we need you here! "
They're calling me…so I responded, I am a sharpshooter but I prefer to use close combat than with guns…My expertise are rapiers and I'm from the front lines. It's a kill or be killed fight.
This battle… I have to survive…In this battle field, you only need one reason why you fight…And that's to live…
Live in these bloodshed of a field…Fight and survive…Kill or be killed…That's the reason to it…
" Are you ready, Sergeant? "
" I'm ready…Call all able men and we'll head out! " I said as I led the group.
I'm a soldier, I'm not an alchemist and my job is an infantry man and my rank is Sergeant, I am Sergeant Aaron Mustang…And The Reason, I fight is to Live through the war and to protect whom I can…
And with that reason, I'll fight without hesitation. I am a soldier and I will fight till this battle is over.
But even if the bloodshed cease…The battle can't ever truly be over…But even If that's the cause…I'll keep moving on and fight…
I'm positive that, one day it will all work out…I'm sure of it…
Even If I'm not the one who will change it for the better, at least, I became a part of it…
-End of prologue -
Author's note: Was the story a little bit serious (dull)…? It is short though…Regardless, It's only the beginning and I have a lot in store, and I think It's okay, I don't know about you guys so, Please Review, so I know what you think about this…
I'll update the next chapter in a little while, Thanks for reading.
All I can say about the next chapter is that there will be a friendly interaction, perhaps? …and maybe another reason he fights…? I hope you'll look forward to this... ^_^
