Gwg: Finally, here is what you all have been waiting for, the companion piece and slight sequel to Amadare. This story will cover what happened to our favorite Kouen Taisa (Flame Colonel) while he was away all those months. I hope this is something that you guys will enjoy just as much as Amadare.

When I Was Gone
Prologue
Farewell

"I'll see ya later, Hagane no!" he called out with a customary smirk on his face. Edward had just smiled, soon returning the smirk with one of his own.

"Get back soon, ya useless Colonel." Edward replied as he waved to him. Roy nodded as he headed out with the others to fight another small uprising. They were only supposed to be gone for a few weeks, but if either of them had known how long he would've been gone...things would've happened differently...

--1 Month Later--

Snap.

His obsidian eyes were dark with exhaustion and pain as he continued to fight. The military uniform he wore was covered in blood, dirt, and sweat as he continued to push. He could hear the yelling of his comrades as they tried to vanquish their foe as well. They were only supposed to be gone a few weeks, three at the most. Yet they had been fighting for a month without pause.

Snap.

His fingers came together again as another snap rung out. The building in front of him burst into flames, screams of those dieing inside filling the air. He stilled his nerves as he continued to move forward, his Taii behind him and Shousa-Armstrong to his right. The sun was beating down upon them as they continued to fight and continued to slaughter those that had rebelled against the State.

Snap.

Once again his mind turned back to the person that he left behind in Central, the person that he loved more than the world. He should've been back in his arms right now, smiling and teasing him for how short he was. Yet he was still on the battlefield, fighting for a cause that was lost to him.

"TAISA!"

Roy quickly turned around, his fingers coming together right before his attacker reached him. The flames erupted in front of him, burning the man without mercy. The look upon Jean Havoc's face was one of relief that Colonel Mustang had been able to kill his attacker before he himself had been killed. The Second Lieutenant gave a half salute to his Colonel before he started fighting once more beside the most unimaginable person, Kain Fuery.

"Keep your eyes open, sir." Riza Hawkeye voiced from beside him as two more shots rung out from her gun. He only nodded in response, his dark obsidian eyes losing their usual flare as he ended another life.

Gwg: So how was this for the beginning chapter to what you people have been waiting for? I don't expect this story to match up to Amadare in anyway. This is just for those that wanted something more, and for those that wanted to know what happened to our favorite Kouen Taisa while he was gone for all those months. So please read and review for you guys are my inspiration. Until next time, ja ne.
