Chapter 2:

Sleep was for the body to recuperate from the previous day, to relax the body and prepare for the next day but her dreams never allowed her body to truly rest. She remembered every moment that lead to Roa and Dolecleto's death. Why they asked for Al to protect her and get her far away from possible death was simply their testament of being close comrades at arms many years past and surviving the experimentation back at Lab 5 together. It was almost a moronic gesture, for how did those two expect Martel to live afterwards? How could she face the mirror knowing that her friends died without her help? Logically she knew that even with her abilities and skill it would have been all three of them dead instead of two, but what person would run away from their friends when in danger?

Those questions racked her mind as woke up the following morning. She simply poked at her food during the morning and both the Elric brothers seemed rather anxious to start off their plan. She offered a smile as Ed knew what needed to be done to grab Scar's attention. Martel moved over to Al and he lifted up his head and let Martel slither inside his body. She doubted he was getting use to having somebody inside his body but it was necessary. Well there was always the window I could have jumped out of Martel mused. But she didn't want to do that because she would miss the brother's interactions and moments. God knew that she would hate miss someone mistake Al for the Fullmetal Alchemist or some officer calling Ed short as well.

The trio walked out of the hotel and Ed quickly began to quickly set his plan into motion. Moving around the city, performing Alchemy for people with broken items or fixing public places. Everyone was cheering Ed's name as he performed a kind act after kind act for the people of Amestres. Martel snickered and knew what effect this would have on Ed's ego and self-image. But as the day worn on and Ed continued his Saint Edward act in the city Scar still hadn't shown up to try and kill the young Alchemist.

"You know I was part of the military years ago and one thing I didn't understand were the State Alchemist, how does one that sees the world as in order to create something, something of equal value must be given, and kill so many people during the Ishoval war? What did lives that they kill help create? Certainly not a better world." Martel asked, as though it sounded more so as a statement than anything else.

Al waited for some time, obviously not use to answering questions he had no idea how exactly to answer. "The war was-" Al was cut off when a lone figure stood ahead of them down the alley. There was no mistaking it, it was Scar at the end.

In a flash the older Elric began to set his plan into motion, attacking the Ishovalan Warrior. Martel admired the speed and agility Edward demonstrated but Scar's combat skill combined with his Destruction Alchemy, Ed needed every ounce of power he could muster. Al moved in, seeing his brother taking too many "close call" attacks and intervened before Scar could lay a possibly finishing blow at Ed. Their Alchemy was a terrifying display of power and strength, but that didn't force Martel to back off.

She tracked Scar's movement like a Hawk and jumped in, lashing out with her palm and struck Scar's forearm and sent his attack missing Al's metal body. His head turned quickly to face his third attacker and spoke, "Do not interfere, I am here doing God's judgment upon this Military Dogs. Killing them would be doing a kindness," Scar explained moving back, dodging one of Ed's Alchemy attack.

"Fat chance Ishovalan, you're not going to hurt these boys." Martel said, her voice holding determination and bravery.
