"So what kind of weapon do you use?" Roy asked.

I hit my palms on the ground, and I puled a solid black sword from a portal.

"That's how you were able to train everyday in prison."

"Portals are easy to open...when you're cursed."

His eyes grew wide.

"Well, are we going to fight or not?" I smirked.

"Of course." he pulled on a pair of gloves.

I ran my hand along the blade of my sword, and the metal began to flicker with shadow flames.

Roy snapped his fingers, and fire reached for me. I dodged out of the way, and slice my sword through the air. A wave of black matter shot towards him, but he spun away from it.

"That's some interesting fire you've got there. Real fire is a lot hotter though." he snapped his fingers again.

I moved to my left, but the flames burnt my arm, "Ow."

He laughed, "You okay?"

"Better than you're going to be!"

I lunged forward and swung my sword in his direction. Black matter swarmed towards him. Roy fell back. He wiped his mouth, "You're goo; I'll give you that."

"Thanks, you are too." I tightened my grip on the sword, waiting for a sneak attack.

"It's your move." Roy put his hands out in front of him to block my next attack.

I delit my sword, and swung at him with it.

Roy ducked and prodded away from my blows. He snapped his fingers and a wall of fire swept towards me. I held my sword out in front of me, and cut through the flames. Unfortunately, the blade turned to ash.

"Ah! What?" I rustled the dust with my fingers.

He laughed, "Woops."

"You jerk! That was just uncalled for!"

"What're you gonna do now?" he shrugged.

"I don't need a meager sword to fight. I'll just use my hands!"

I ran towards him and jabbed his left shoulder.

"Hey...what did you..." Roy looked at his limp, left arm.

"The human body is full of accessible pressure points that will easily subdue parts of your body."

"Clever, but I'm right handed." he snapped his fingers.

I duck-rolled under the flames and reached out to jab his stomach.

Roy grabbed my wrist and push me to the ground. He leaned down and pushed his right hand close to my face, ready to snap his fingers, "Any last words?"

"What's that?" I pointed over his shoulder.

He turned to look.

I jabbed his right shoulder and he gasped.

"I...won't go down without a fight." he said.

"Pretty sure you're already down. You can't use your Alchemy right now, Colonel."

His eyes grew wide, and he kept snapping his fingers, "You blocked my Alchemy!"

"Don't worry, it'll wear off."

"Hey Havoc." Kat walked over.

"Did you hear about the new Alchemist?"

"No I didn't."

"Well, during the physical exam, she beat Roy."

"Colonel Mustang? You're joking!"

Havoc shook his head, "No joke, although the Colonel had some trouble admitting it."

"What's her name?"

"Uh...Moon Montecillo...or something like that."

Kat's eyes grew wide, "Moon?"

"Good job. You passed the physical exam." Roy grumbled.

"Alright!" I smiled.

He chuckled, "You're officially the Military's tamed dog. Here." he handed me a pocket watch.

"What's this for?"

"It's proof that you're a State Alchemist."

I ran my hand over the top of it, "Thank you."

"I look forward to working with you, Miyoko."

I glared at him, "It's Moon."

Roy rubbed his head, "Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot."

"That's the third time you've done that!"

Kat ran down the hall. She had to see Moon before they took her away again. Six years ago, Kat heard the Military were coming to arrest Moon. Kat had run as fast as she could, but when Kat got to Moon's house...Moon was already gone. Kat never got to say goodbye to her best friend. She wouldn't let it happen again.

"It's so nice to meet you. I'm Maes Hughes." he shook my hand, "I can tell you're going to be a great addition to the Military."

"Thank you, sir." I said.

The door bust open, and a girl walked in . She looked familiar, or...her eyes did anyways. Her hair was wavy and long. It was a light maple brown. The girl's skin was fair, and there wasn't a scar, cut or blemish anywhere to be seen.

"Lieutenant Kooper, what is it?" Roy asked.

"I-I heard Moon was hear, and I came to see her,: the girl said.

"You know Moon?" Hughes asked.

She nodded, "We were best friends as kids."

My eyes grew wide, "Katherine?"
