Hello hello! It's been a while, and I recently got sucked back into the FMA fandom and realized there wasn't a lot of content consisting of this sort of theme. I usually don't post things here on fanfiction anymore but fuck it. My head is gonna explode if I don't publish this and work on it. I have like..22+ pages already written out so if the feedback is good I'll post more ^^ The characters may be a little OOC considering that it has been a while since I have written for this fandom. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!
Roy Mustang hated doing this sort of job, being in the military there were ups and downs to it all. You experienced shit that would give any grown man nightmares, and he had his fair share of them. With the country in slight turmoil, and the death of Maes Hughes was still raw in his heart Roy wanted nothing more than to just sit back and relax.
Obviously that was never going to happen. There were some wishes that just did not come true.
As the car halted to a stop Roy stepped out, his hands shoved into his trench coat pockets, Riza Hawkeye trailing beside him as she shut the door quietly. Roy glanced up at the abandoned building his lips curled as he remembered his orders.
Mustang, you, Hawkeye and Fullmetal will infiltrate a building that has been rumored to be doing experiments on humans. Chimeras. Several have been missing from the area where it is located. Fullmetal will meet you at the building, you are dismissed.
Chimeras. Mustang seen a few up close, and the Elric brothers had dealt with one that caused a very large emotional scar for the two. It appeared Shou Tucker was not the only one that was interested in creating monsters.
"Sir." Riza whispers behind him and Roy turns to glance at his Lieutenant. "Be on your guard. Something doesn't seem right." Roy raises a brow, but he doesn't argue. Riza had an exceptional sense of danger, he trusted her instincts more than he did his own.
"Can do. I suggest you do the same. It seems Fullmetal is already inside." Roy states his fingers twitching just slightly. He kept his gloves in his pockets, just incase they were to run into trouble. Riza had her guns, and he had his alchemy.
Stepping up the cobblestone steps he gently placed a hand on the worn wooden door finding that the door was wide open, upon inspecting further the doorknob looked as if someone performed Alchemy. Ah, Fullmetal then.
Using his hand he pushed the door open only to recoil at the smell. Rotten flesh and burnt fur surrounded the air and he pulled his hand up to his nose to keep himself from gagging. You'd think being the Flame Alchemist he would be used to smell of burning flesh and hair, but it never ceased to make him sick.
"Colonel Bastard." A voice rang through the hall and Roy glanced up with a scowl on his face at the nickname.
"Fullmetal." He muttered in response looking around finding cages upon cages littering the rooms, blood splattered on the walls, transmutation circles on every surface.
Ed and Al stepped into the light and Al gave a small metallic sigh, "It's absolutely awful." He whispered and Roy couldn't help but agree. These types of humans that would do something to another human made his stomach churn in fury.
"Have you found any survivors?" Riza asked as she continued to look about her hand close to her waist ready to grab her gun.
Ed sighed shaking his head his metal arm clicking as he balled his fist, "No, all of them dead. Failed transmutations. Whoever did this wasn't too skilled." He states as Roy crouched down looking at a specific array.
"Or this was done on purpose." Roy stated seeing how precise the etchings were, this was not done by no amatuer. These were meant to fail. How despicable.
"Do you think it could be one of Shou Tucker's admirers…" Al suggested as Roy stood running a hand through his dark hair.
"I would hope not, we don't need another one of him." Roy replied and the brothers looked at him in agreement. "We will investigate further. I would be careful with these arrays. They may be a-" Before he could finish his sentence, he regretted taking a step further as an array glowed to life hitting him like a ton of electric volts.
Roy felt his body jerk about as energy poured through his skin, twisting his insides about. His vision grew black spots as he finally realized how hard he was screaming from his vocal cords straining.
"Colonel!"
"Mustang!"
The light finally faded and Roy fell immediately in a heap his eyes dazed as he let out a struggling cough. Fuck that hurt.
"You idiot!" Ed shouted as they all carefully made their way to Roy who couldn't move just yet, the small blue sparks still traveling down his body. "Was there anything in the transmutation circle?" Ed asked wearily.
"M fine.." Roy gritted as he flexed his fingers finding that he now had full control of his body. It hurt like a bitch, but he had endured worse. Struggling he sat up with the help of Riza.
"Bullshit!" Ed spat as Roy leaned on Riza her hand placed on his back to keep him steady. "That could've made you into a chimera if we weren't careful! Did you see anything before you stepped in?"
Roy shook his head, "No, the floor was clean." At least to his knowledge, hopefully that transmutation circle was nothing more than a electrical trap.
"Sir, we need to get you home." Riza says with a serious expression and Roy batts her hand away moving to stand, wobbling a bit he wipes his chin and huffs.
"I'm fine, let's continue." He tells them and all three move to block the way, that angered Roy as he narrowed his eyes at the three. "Let me pass, I need to complete this investigation." He growled making a move to step forward, but pain rattled his body hitting him like a bolt of lightning. It traveled from his head all the way to his toes making him cry out, stumbling into Riza's arms.
His mind was fuzzy as Riza called out for him and strong cold arms picked him up, Alphonse then. "N-no…'m fine…." He mumbled before everything fell into darkness.
