Me: Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've written but due to school and some very hectic moving conditions it's been very busy lately.
Greed: Please forgive her. Not everyone can be as good at keeping promises as me.
Me: *glares* Don't fucking start Greed.
Greed: Shutting up.
Me: Anyway disclaimer. I don't own FMA sadly. Oh and also I changed my style just a bit and to those of you who are Naruto fans and die hard fangirls of Hidan, I will start on a outline for a fan-fic as soon as I possibly can. Until then enjoy!
The Entering of Luna:
Greed's POV:
"So tell me, where did you learn to fight like that?" I'm definitely interested in the style they used. Throughout the majority of our walk, the thought of it had been eating at me. It seemed like their moves were too good to be made up on the spot, but at the same time they were somewhat playful when executed. So naturally I'm disappointed when James tells me it was just something they picked up on over the years. I thought about asking further, but something in my mind said that I wasn't getting decent answers just yet.
After a while blondie started to get on my nerves. I mean the kid really never stops complaining does he? Every few minutes, "How much further?", "Is it gonna take much longer?", "Al's not getting any lighter back here." Finally I decide that enough's enough. "Jesus, shut UP pipsqueak! We'll get there when we get there." Of course the yelling that ensued next wasn't any less nerve-racking. "WHAT THE HELL GREED! I'M ALMOST AS TALL AS YOU!" I just sigh, muttering under my breath, "But you're still not there yet are ya?"
"Give it a rest Ed." Ling was getting tired of the elder Elric's complaining as well. The look on Ed's face is priceless and it's all I can do to keep from laughing my ass off. I try to focus on the road ahead instead. Not that there is one.
Next thing I know though the dynamic duo disappears into thin air! "Hey, where did those two go?" God I turn around for a second and the people I'm following gotta go and disappear. Damn it! I look around and try to find some evidence of them being there but I don't get jack shit. When I look ahead though, I notice some kind of weird ripple in the air. What the hell? "Hey! Are you coming?" I jump back as James pokes his head from literally nothing. "Fuck!" Is he trying to give me a heart attack? Oh wait, I don't have a heart. Duh. It only annoys me more though when Ed starts flipping out like I don't know what. "How the hell did you do that?" Damon looks at him like he's an idiot. Heh, so I'm not the only one. "Come on kid, as a scientist I expected that you would be the first to understand it." I'm no genius or anything but I have to ask. "What is it? Some kind of mirage?" I was just spouting random ideas. I didn't expected to get it right. "Huh. You were the last one I expected to get it. Guess I'm the one who needs a reality check." Well that was rude. Though it is kinda funny too. I didn't expect me to answer it right either. The pipsqueak looks dumbfounded. James clears his throat, breaking the silence. "I'll try to explain. Gather some humidity and heat the ground to just the right temperature and add a little bit of air manipulation and badda bing badda boom! You have a fully functional mirage that, to any outsiders, looks like a continuation of the forest. Quite simple really." It was as if a lightbulb went off in the kid's head. "I see. That's genius." Okay, I'll admit, it's pretty smart. These two would either make excellent henchmen or strong enemies. Which one, I'm not that sure yet. At this point though, I should at least check them out completely though right? I start into the mirage thinking 'What the hell?' " If this means we're almost there then let's get going." My patience is running low with Elric anyway.
Everyone follows, though I'm pretty sure the only reason they're following me is because these guys scare the piss out of them and I'm their best chance against them if things get ugly. What's behind the invisible wall is so amazing though, even I go wide-eyed. The town itself is beautifully sculpted into the kind of place the Fuhror might own. This town had to be loaded. It took me a second to even realize the people everywhere and….what the hell? Are those dogs? They're everywhere, but they're easily larger than horses. Just looking around I can see select a few lounging, fighting, caring for one another; just about anything they could be doing, they were doing it. Without even thinking, I look up and faintly notice…birds? No, the wings are too straight edged. Bats? If they are then DAMN! As they circle around for a landing I can make out some of the finer details.
"What the hell? They're human. The bat-like wings from their backs are what really gets my attention though. I'm able to break away my gaze just long enough to notice that the dogs had made their way over to me and damn were they tall! They tower above me. As if things aren't weird enough, they're wolves…..not dogs.
"Well, what do you think?"
I'm snapped out of my daze to feel a hand on my shoulder. James. "What the hell is all of this?" The kid definitely took the words right out of my mouth. "These chi's are so strong. They're near equal to yours Greed…well, maybe not as vile." The kid had always complained about his rotten chi.
"If you must know, we're all chimeras." Damon's monotone voice brings me back to the situation at hand. "No way are you chimeras! I know chimeras; I worked with them for years!" I can barely contain the anger in me. Dolcetto, Martel, Bido, Roa, Ulchi...they were all my loyal friends. My family. How dare he try to pull shit like that? That stupid emotionless glare doesn't make me want to punch him any less either. He just rolls his eyes at me and starts walking to this large concrete building. Granted it's nice and definitely not run down or anything but I have no desire to follow. James just looks at me like he's silently apologizing and motions for me to come along and be silent. I am shocked though when the Xingese princess just walks past me and follows. Ling follows her, then Lan Fan, and eventually the Elrics. Guess I shoulda seen that coming though. I did bitch for them to follow me and all. Fuck. Guess I'm going anyway.
Inside I realize that this is a bar. Nice. Chrome plated table tops and counters, mahogany flooring, a second floor with a spiraling staircase leading from it and my personal favorite, black leather couches that were clearly not bought on clearance. All in all, I could crash here no problem. After taking a seat though and realizing the place was empty, probably for our convenience, I decided that they had some explaining to do. "So what's with this whole chimera charade? I know that those aren't alchemically created chimeras."
With a somewhat innocent smile, James nervously rubs the back of his neck. "Well, you are right about that. We aren't alchemical chimeras." I knew it. I spent too much time with chimeras to fall for a cheap trick like that. "You see, we're naturally bred." Ed had been sipping on some water that Damon had grabbed for him and at James' comment let it rain all over the floor in front of him. "What do you mean 'naturally bred'?!"
"Yeah, just what the hell do you think you're trying to pull here?" The prick just waves his hands in front of himself and tries to explain but is cut of by his emo twin. "The originals of our species were created by alchemy thousands of years ago but were turned loose into society, their creators thinking that they would cause havoc and destruction. What they didn't count on, was the subjects seeking each of the others of the same crossings out in order to mate. Each time offspring were produced, the animal sides of the creatures became more evolved, ending in the adaptation of animal/human hybrids that could fit in perfectly with society, yet fully transform into more powerful versions of the original animal pairing. In other words, evolution has created entirely new branches of humanoid specimens."
That was the longest I had heard the guy talk since I met him. And with the evidence of what was outside, it was hard not to believe him. Ed was practically drooling at the new-found information though and started to rant about how amazing it all was just as I realized that Al had woke up and was thinking about all of this to himself. That only made me curious though. "So the chimeras outside were wolf and bat right?" James nodded so I continued. "So what are the two of you then?"
The grins they flashed weren't the reaction I was hoping for though. Damon's voice seemed a bit more... enthusiastic? It wasn't reassuring though. "We're a bit special you see. The two most populated species are indeed the wolves and bats but we are a bit different. You see, they tend to only mate within their species. Our parents were an exception. Our mother was wolf and our father bat." His brother finishes for him. "We are the only male hybrids in existence." This was definitely the kind of news that I liked. I can just picture them working for me with this whole town under my rule. Ling's next question did peak my interest even further however.
"You said you were the only male hybrids in existence. What about females?" I was really excited to hear this answer. I wasn't disappointed. "There is one. She's our little sister. Feisty but caring. You'll meet her soon I would think." I couldn't wait to.
The news just kept coming though. "You will have to meet the Alpha of the town though. Not everyone is allowed here in Luna you know. As far as the Amestrian military knows, we don't exist. The same goes for Creta on the opposite end of things. If the Alpha thinks we can trust you though, you'll be welcome here anytime. If not…" I think that for the first time since meeting James I was genuinely concerned for the well-being of us. His tone was just so cold when he said those last two words.
I noticed Damon cock his head sideways and give a close-eyed smirk towards the door. "Well, well, well, speak of the devil…." Still smiling he opens his eyes. Or shall I say, Angel?"
Me:So who is this Angel? Will the group be allowed to stay? More importantly, live?
Greed: Well we know that I'll live.
Me: Here's the catch though, three reviews and I will post the next chapter. Yeah, I know I'm mean. Until next time, toodles!
