Deadly Destruction
Summary: What happens to two our favorite of military personnel, when Amestris is stroke by a vicious nightmarish illness? AU with ideas of the Walking Dead. Royai
Author's note: Hello there! For those who know my other fanfiction, which I am working on now, don't worry, I didn't drop it, just couldn't find time for writing more chapters, since there was a lot of school work to do.
Deadly destruction. This idea came to me while rewatching The Walking Dead before the next part of the season starts. What would happen if Undeads, or let's say Walkers came to the world of Fullmetal Alchemist? What would happen to the whole world?
I personally didn't see any fanfiction of this kind, but I am reader of only completed stories, but I hope it will come out good. Well, enjoy, and let me know if you like it, thank you.
Just one more thing, Falman was transferred back to the Central under Mustang's command, this is set approximately after Promised day, just before Mustang was promoted. Also Führer is Grumman.
Oooooooooooooooooo
"Sir, we have received a message from the West. There were lots of attacks on citizens in that part, claiming to be deadly. They claim to say those citizens were bitten and scratched. After saving them and getting them to hospital, they died from high fevers. After that the messages and the information stopped coming to the central." Riza Hawkeye folded the paper she was reading from and looked up.
The obsidian eyes were watching her with surprise from behind the folded hands, slowly unfolding them as the realisation hit him. "What do you mean the information stopped coming to the central? We have telephones, someone just has to pick them up and answer the calls!" Now that was unnecessarily high voice used, he reminded himself, after seeing her eyes widen a bit, but as fast as it came, it went away.
"Sir, report from the contact center stated they tried everything. Führer supposedly sent some of the military personnel to the West for further findings. We are not supposed to act openly and we are to wait for the orders."
Closing his eyes, leaning back on his chair he sighed. "Aaah, okay, thank you for your report Lieutenant, anything more to report?"
Saluting with her eyes stern "No s– "There was that abrupt stop, this earned her a Colonel's risen eyebrow and piercing eyes looking at her. Seeing this she continued "Actually, sir, I met with my friend who works as a nurse in Central's hospital. She stated there were some …… problems."
"Problems?"
"Yes sir, she stated there were lots of patients coming in last two days to hospital and afterwards dying of high fevers. She claimed she saw some bites and scratches on skin. She also stated …. "Now she averted her eyes away from his.
"Lieutenant?" Furrowing his eyebrows in concern.
Sighing and looking back on Colonel she continued. "She also stated those bite marks were human."
There was silence, just way too long. Havoc's cigarette fell on his desk and his mouth hanging open. Fuery along with Breda and Falman also looked up from their actual work and just quietly stared and their superior officers.
"Human? What do you mean human Lieutenant?" He did not like the information she gave him. This is getting way too suspicious.
"Yes sir, there were bite marks in form of human teeth and they were deep."
After few moments of processing the information in his head, long silence was interrupted by the words coming from his mouth, describing just one order for his whole team.
"I got it. Since we are unable to act right now, all of you will be as careful as possible. We can't know what is happening right now, but we will find out soon enough." Looking at his whole team he continued "Also, there is one order I hope you haven't forgotten from the events of the Promised day." Now his gaze hardened. "Don't die. Understood?" Roy Mustang got the only reply he wanted. Everyone of their team stood up and saluted "Yes sir!"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was around 2000 when Riza Hawkeye and Roy Mustang finally finished their work. Remaining ones of their team already left two hours ago, claiming they can't keep up already. So practically everything was left just on Colonel and Lieutenant, actually, just Lieutenant since Mustang liked to slack off when it came to paperwork.
Riza just finished the last remaining paper on her desk and looked up just to see Colonel in his chair, practically daydreaming, maybe thinking of the events happening right now. But Black Hayate was certainly hungry in her apartment and she needed to get home.
"Colonel?"
Waking up from his small slumber he at least needed to answer. "Yes Lieutenant?"
"I am done for today, am I allowed to leave the work now?
"Yes Lieutenant, you are dismissed."
While she packed her things and was prepared to go to the locker room, silence was broken by Roy "be careful on your way home lieutenant, especially now."
She saw it, that worry in his eyes. No wonder, attacks on people by people and especially with bites and scratches, it was weird.
"Yes sir!" Saluting for a moment she turned around and walked from the room, closing the door behind her with a little smile grazing her face that went away just after few seconds.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
Roy on the other hand wore a frown after she left the room. Thinking about those attacks and wondering who could be behind it was hard without any leads.
Turning in his chair to look around, he saw the moonlight illuminate everything until it got lost in the light from the bulbs in the room. After few moments he decided that no more work would be done today. He also packed up and left the room.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
She was damn right. Right after arriving home, Black Hayate nearly knocked her to the floor when he saw her. He was hungry and happy. Mostly hungry, but that could be solved. Locking the door behind her she arrived to the kitchen, grabbed his favorite dog food and pouring it to his bowl. He happily came to it, and wagging his tail he started eating.
Riza was glad she would be able to take a long shower before going out with Black Hayate for a short walk. With those thoughts she disappeared behind the door to the bathroom, not disrupting dog's peaceful dinner.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
After approximately 20 minutes she escaped the heat of her bathroom just to be greeted with those big pleading eyes "Yes, Black Hayate, let me just dress up and I will take you to walk" scratching just behind his neck she continued to her bedroom.
Dressed in her normal citizen clothes and keeping dog on his leash, she grabbed the keys to her apartment and left.
The walk has been mostly peaceful. There was just one thing concerning her. There were way too little people on the street. After 10 minutes of walk she finally saw one. It was a man, but something was wrong with him, also he did not see them, or at least pretended not to.
Stopping in her tracks she put her hand on her hip, just where the holster with her gun is under her clothes, not leaving her eyes from the man staggering on the street. Black Hayate also did not like something about him since he immediately stood protectively to his master, barking at the suspicious man.
This caught his interest and turned to the source of the sound coming from the dog.
When he came a bit closer to her, she saw something weird. There was a blood just around his mouth, way too much blood. His clothes were soaked in blood too and they were too dirty. His eyes were yellow and …. Blank?
"Sir? Are you okay?" Nothing …. "Sir, if you do not answer, I will have to shoot you"
He just sped up, growling, without any word coming from his mouth, hanging open.
He was 10 meters from her when the sound of click came from her gun now in her hands aimed at the suspicious man.
Nothing, it did not make him stop. She had to shoot, or they both would be in danger. The bullet left the gun and arrived in man's leg, just below his knee. He stopped for a bit, but there were no signs of any hurt. After a moment he continued, closing the distance between him and Riza.
Second one left the gun and landed just to the left from his heart. He staggered back from the impact, but moved again. Now her eyes widened. She never saw this kind behaviour. He was now 3 meters from her, arms risen up, fingers crawling and growling viciously at her.
Black Hayate was ready to attack him if he got any closer, but she remembered the information she received. Human bites, scratches. Maybe this was the source. She tried shooting again, now directly into the heart. Nothing.
There were just 2 more bullets in her cylinder and one more place she didn't try to shoot. Aiming the gun right on the man's hand she pulled the trigger. Her heartbeat was high, she could hear it in her ears. She was almost happy, when the man staggering right to her and Black Hayate finally fell to the ground, now unmoving.
There was a long sigh that escaped her lips.
Just as she crouched down to inspect the victim of her shots she heard someone running right to the place where she was. Grabbing her gun once again to the both hands she stood up from the body and moved few inches from it waiting on the source of those rushed footsteps.
Oooooooooooooooooo
Just as he left the Central headquarters and neared his apartment he could hear it. Gunshots and they were pretty close. Now this awoke his interest on the source of those. Thinking back on today's events, Roy decides he wants to see what is happening so he goes in the direction where the sound came from. He didn't have to look for the source, since soon the next gunshot came.
This made him worried a bit, which made him speed up a bit. Sliding his hands into his pockets he took out white gloves which he put on second later. Not that he needed them now with all that clapping thingy, but Roy felt more secure with them on.
There came a third shot, then fourth. Now he was practically running. The source was just behind that corner. Just few more steps and he would be there.
As he neared that place, he saw just a woman with blond hair and gun in her hands. Also a dog standing near her protectively.
"Lieutenant? Is that you? What happened?" he asked as he neared her.
"Colonel? What are you doing he-" she abruptly stopped as the realization hit her, she saluted "Sorry sir, in the flow of events I forgot I was nearing your apartment on my walk." Now she turned around to look at the victim of her gunshots, laying on the ground. "There was this man sir, he was staggering on the street, I saw him from far away, I tried asking him if something was wrong, but only growling came out of his mouth. His eyes were yellowish and blank. Also I tried to shoot as he neared me. First bullet went right to his leg." She said pointing on the leg pierced by bullet and Roy following her gaze. "But the man did not show any indication of being hurt, he just continued in his tracks."
This made him widen his eyes just a bit.
"The second one" she pointed at victim's chest continuing "went directly to his chest, just left of his heart, he just staggered back from the impact, same happened with third one landing just where his heart his. Nothing happened, he continued to move"
"Fourth one was the last. It was the last resort I could take since I would run out of bullets soon, I aimed it at his head. At this he fell down to the floor and haven't moved since"
After explaining everything she looked up and met Roy's now fully widened eyes.
He thought there wouldn't be anything that would make him surprised after the promised day, but this was different. That man certainly did not recover from his wounds like Homunucli did. And one shot to the head killing him? Not the heart? Also all tis blood and destroyed fingernails. What the hell is happening?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
