CHAPTER 1: The new boy in Resemboul

14 yr old Derrin Nettles walked on the road leading into Dublith. He had heard from an alchemist in central that there was a great automail mechanic named Winry Rockbell living in Resemboul. He needed a new arm, for the one he had got smashed in a fight started at a hotel in central.

He walked into Dublith, noticing how many people were there, he got nervous. He hated being around alot of people he didn't know, so he kept his head down and walked into a Cantena. He had a seat at the bar.

"I reckon you new in town?" Asked the bartender, staring at Derrin's empty left arm space.

"Uh... yah, I'm looking for a Winry Rockbell. Could you direct me to Resemboul?" Derrin asked.

"Yes, I certainly can."

Derrin walked out of Dublith on his way to Resemboul.

{A few hours later}

Derrin approached Resemboul.

FINALLY! He thought. Now to find that gir-

His thoughts were interrupted by a shrill scream, coming from the fields to his left. He dashed toward the sound.

When he finally found the source of the scream he realized it was a girl getting jumped.

"Well, well, well. What've we got here?" Asked jumper 1.

"Looks like a lil girl." Asked jumper 2.

The 3rd revealed an automail hand which turned into a gun. "How about this girl: you give us all your money and we won-"

He never finished because Derrin's bag smashed into his jaw. Blood spraying out of his mouth the jumper hit the ground with a thud. The bag held his ruined automail and chalk for his transmutation circles. Seeing there fallen ally they looked up at Derrin.

"Picking on inocent women? That's low, even for low-lives like you."

This ticked them off. They charged Derrin with sticks. Derrin sidestepped then tripped 1 and jumped, placed his left foot on 2's face and flipped over his head, kicking him then landing on a foot then knee. 1 and 2 got back up and charged again. Derrin got his bag up, sidestepped then roundhoused 1 and smashed his bag in 2's face.

He walked over to the blonde, pretty, and scared girl on her hands and knees. She looked up at him.

"D-did you just take them three out all alone?" She asked as he extended my hand.

"Yah. My name is Derrin by the way. Derrin Nettles." He flashed a smile at her and she took his hand and he helped her up.

She eyed his missing arm. "I'm Winry, Winry Rockbell. I can make you some automail if you want...?"

Derrin's eyes widened. "That would be great! Thank you!"

He escorted her back to Resemboul, watching for more Jumpers.
