Not a Normal Girl
FullMetal Alchemist
EdXOC
Chapter 2: (Fixed May.23.2010)
"Brother!" Al cried as his brother fell to his knees.
"I'll give you a moment to pray." Scar said then turned to me, "Then it's your turn, even if you run I'll find you."
"Sorry but there isn't a god I want to pray to." Ed said, looking at the ground, "You're only after me right? My little brother Al and that girl, are you going to kill them too?"
"If there are obstacles I will remove them, but for now I only have business with you FullMetal Alchemist. And that girl," Scar paused to turn to me, "I guess I'll let her go. I'm feeling nice today."
"Really? Then promise me...That you won't touch my little brother." Ed said.
"I will keep my word." Scar said.
My eyes were wide but then I calmed down a little.
Ed doesn't die yet…I thought with a mental sigh of relief. I got tense again.
But, what if I messed up his chances of survival. I thought franticly.
"Brother what are you doing! Run away!" Al shouted to his brother.
Scar's hand reached out to touch the top of Ed's head.
"Stop it! Get up and run!" Al kept shouting.
I stood there mortified, What if I messed up his chances of living. Is he going to die? It would be my entire fault if he did.
All theses thoughts raced through my head.
A gunshot went off breaking me from my thoughts.
I turned around to see Colonel Roy Mustang.
"That's as far as you go." Roy said, "That was a close call FullMetal."
I let out a sigh of relief and slumped to my knees. I stared at the ground in shock trying to remember what just happened in the last 10 minutes.
"I don't understand. Why are you only targeting the alchemist that have a state license?" Roy asked.
"No matter what, if you intend to interfere I will eliminate you too." Scar said with a scowl on his face.
"Interesting." Roy said throwing his gun at Riza and put on his white gloves that have an alchemy circle on it.
"Colonel Mustang!" Riza exclaimed trying to tell him something.
"Mustang…As in the state alchemist?" Scar questioned.
"Indeed! Roy Mustang, The Flame Alchemist." Roy said proudly.
Scar attacked Mustang with a smirk on his face.
"You know that I am the Flame Alchemist and yet you dare to fight me!" Roy shouted ready to send out a bolt of fire.
Riza tripped Roy and he barely missed Scars hand. Riza got out her guns and started shooting Scar.
"What do you think your doing!" Roy shouted.
"You're worthless when its raining so stay back sir." Riza said seriously.
"Oh yeah, when it's as wet as this you can't make a spark." Havoc said.
I didn't move from my spot still trying to decipher what was happening before my eyes. I was basically oblivious to half the things that was going on around me.
The next thing I knew there was a gigantic crater in the ground and Scar was gone.
"Hey, are you alright?" Riza asked coming over to me.
I look up at her; still in my slumped position on the ground.
"Y-yeah…just a little shocked." I stuttered.
Riza studied me; she saw my light brown skin then saw my brown eyes. She then saw my weird attire and thought nothing of that. At first glance I must look like an Ishballen.
I blinked, "Yes?" I asked.
Riza shook her head, "Its nothing."
"Alphonse!" I heard Ed shout.
I looked over and saw Al leaning against the ally wall; half of him destroyed.
"Al! Are you ok?" Ed asked frantically.
"You are so stupid brother!" Al said punching Ed.
I let out a sigh knowing this would go on for a few minutes.
After a few minutes of their bickering I stood up trying to calm myself down.
"Hey." Ed said walking over to me with a coat draped over his shoulders, "Are you ok? Your not hurt are you?" He asked.
I shook my head, "No, I'm not hurt." Just confused.
"Are you sure?" Ed asked.
"Yes." I said giving him a reassuring smile…he seemed to buy it.
Roy walked over to me; looking me over.
"Your not Ishballen but you have light brown skin." He said.
I nodded, "I'm not Ishballen." I'm African-American
"Then why do you have almost the same characteristics?" He asked.
I let out a sigh; I knew it would come to this.
They took Ed, Al, and I took Roy's office.
"So explain to me…why do you look Ishballen?" He said.
I looked at the ground trying to find the right words.
"I-I'm not from here." I managed to stutter out.
Wait, since when do I have all people stutter?
I managed to glace up and see his confused face; the whole room was silent.
I inhaled a deep breath trying to calm my nerves and exhaled slowly…it worked.
"I'm from another…world I guess you could say. Its not ran by the military but by the president. It has modern technology." I paused and went through my red backpack and pulled out volume three of FullMetal Alchemist, "In my world you're a show and a book. See." I said putting the manga on Roy's desk.
Roy looked at it and scanned through it. He looked shocked, "Your right."
I nodded, no dip
They priceless looks on their faces was very amusing.
"So that means I'm the main character right." Roy said with a smirk, leaning back in his chair.
"Wrong. You're like a secondary character. You show up very often. Ed and Al are the main characters." I said gesturing to Ed and Al who were sitting a bench.
"Are you serious?" Ed asked.
I nodded and let him see the book.
"I can't read it." He said.
I raised an eyebrow and looked at Roy, "Could you read it?"
Roy nodded.
"I see pictures…but no words." Ed said.
"Oh! Maybe because you're the main character and your not allowed to!" I said.
Ed shrugged, "Maybe." He muttered.
Roy went serious as he talked to Ed and Al.
I sat on the bench on that was next to Al.
"What are we going to do with the girl?" Hughes asked.
I looked up as the mention of "The girl".
Roy looked at me, "What's your name?"
"My name is Mikayla. Mikayla Mitchell." I said.
"Then what do you think Mikayla? Since you basically know what's going to happen. Or can you just tell us the outcome." Roy said.
I thought about it, "I'm not telling you guys anything about what's coming up next. I will let it play out…let the story unfold like it's suppose to. But, I think I should go with Ed and Al so I can help them on their journey." I said. Also because I think it would be awesomely awesome.
Roy nodded, "Very well."
"What do you mean very well? That girl can't come with us!" Ed shouted.
"This girl has a name and her name is Mikayla! Say it with me, Mi-Kay-la. Mikayla!" I shouted glaring at him.
"What ever! It won't matter cause your not coming with us!" Ed shouted back.
"Yes she is FullMetal and you can take that as an order." Roy said.
Ed growled, "Fine, what ever. Can't wait till she gets killed 'cause I'm not saving her." He said harshly.
I growled, "See if I care!" I shouted making my way over to the door, "Tell me when you're ready to leave!" and with that I marched out.
"You really did it now brother." Al said to Ed.
Ed scoffed, "What ever, she'll get over it."
Hughes sighed, "What are you Elric brothers going to do now?" He asked.
"Well…I want to fix Al's armor, but I can't use that technique with out this arm." He said.
"Shall I fix you?" Armstrong said flexing his muscles.
"I'll pass." Al said.
Ed sighed, "Well I guess I have to go to my mechanic."
"But first we need to find Mikayla." Al said.
Ed sighed again, "Right…"
The next day Ed, Al, and I were escorted to Resembol.
Al had to sit with the sheep while Ed, Armstrong, and I sat with the rest of the passengers.
Poor Al. I thought to myself as I looked at Al who was in a crate.
"Its cheaper on the travel fees if he is treated like luggage." Armstrong said.
I let out a sigh, "Oh lord…" I muttered.
A few minutes later we took our seats on the train.
Armstrong and Ed sat on a bench/ seat while I sat across from then. I closed my eyes as I listened to Hughes (who had just walked up to the train window) and Ed talk.
I had gotten over what Ed had said to me yesterday. I could take care of myself anyway.
I felt someone stare at me.
"Take a picture it last longer." I said opening my eyes to see Ed staring at me.
Ed scoffed, "I'll pass. You'll most likely break the lens." He said.
I growled, "So you're calling me ugly?" I exclaimed though trying to keep my voice low.
Ed looked at me strangely for a minute then he realized what he said, "N-no! I didn't mean it that way Mikayla, honestly!" he said frantically.
I gave him a look, "Yeah, what ever." I said and looked out the window completely ignoring Ed and everything around me.
I knew I wasn't pretty…you didn't have to tell me that.
A few minutes later I dozed off.
"Mikayla, time to wake up!" Ed shouted in my ear.
I screamed and fell off the seat, "What was that for?" I shouted at him.
"You wouldn't wake up!" Ed shouted back.
"Now, now children. Let's not fight." Armstrong said.
"Don't call me a child!" Ed and I shouted at the same time.
We got off the train and headed to Winry's house.
"I think you'll really like Winry, Mikayla." Al said from the crate he was being carried in.
I smiled at Al, "Yeah." Pft, no. I never did like Winry.
We finally get to a yellow and white house and see a black dog and a short old women waiting.
"Hey granny." Ed said with a smile.
"Hello Ed, I see your as short as ever." She said with as smile.
"Who are you calling short you half-pint hag!" Ed shouted with an anime vain.
"EDWARD!"
Ed stopped in is tracks, "Crap..."
All of a sudden a wrench was chucked at Ed's head and hit him dead on.
I fell out laughing as Ed started yelled at Winry.
"Mikayla that's not funny!" Ed shouted getting in my face.
"Yes, yes it was." I said laughing harder.
Ed growled, "What ever."
My glare went from Winry to Mikayla who was laughing at me.
Though I have to say she's really cute when she laughs.
I slapped myself mentally, What am I saying? She's just some annoying girl.
Later that day Winry and Pinako were re-building my arm and had to adjust my leg cause I got taller...yeah! I got taller!
In the mean time I sat out side with Al, Mikayla, and Den; Winry's dog.
I glanced over at Mikayla, she was looking up at the sky...almost as if she was in a trance.
"Mikayla?" I said.
She blinked that looked at me, "Yeah?" She asked.
I shook my head and chuckled, "Just making sure your still with us." I said.
She rolled here eyes, "Ha, ha your so funny Ed." She said sarcastically then look back up at the sky.
I looked up at the sky, "Gee, I feel like Shikamaru..." I muttered.
"Who?" Ed asked.
I looked at him, "Oh he's just another anime character from the show Naruto."
"Is that show the same as this one?" He asked, "God that sounds so weird to say,"
I shook my head, "Nope, its totally different." I said, I giggled a little, "Still shocked?"
"I don't think I'll ever get over it."
