Chapter 4- The Penultimate Day, The Black Flame's Penultimate Mission

Ray was still sleeping when Roy barged in her room.

"Raiyann Mustang, you overslept!" He shouted, dumping a bucket of water on Ray's head.

"Ow! Watch it, you baloney!" Ray screamed. She rubbed her head, which was completely soaked. Her hair was dripping with water. She shook her head, causing the water to splash on Roy.

"Ah! That usually did the trick!" Roy panicked. He immediately ran around in circles, trying to get enough air to dry up.

"On Fridays, I don't mind water," Ray reminded Roy.

Roy groaned. "You still act the same, even when your pal got converted to Father's side," He said, frowning.

Ray glared. "What happened to Chaos and Vociferous was none of your business," Ray said, shaking her fist in front of Roy's face. "If I wanted you to know, I could have told you straight."

"Ah, but you did, Ray," Roy reminded her. Ray slapped him.

"Whatevs, Roy," Ray mumbled. "I'll be downstairs. Wenry!" She screamed, and walked past Roy without even giving him a sideways glance. She seemed pissed off by what Chaos had decided.

Wenry followed Ray shortly. "She feels bad," Wenry said. "I know," Roy said. "She was close to Chaos before Chaos died," Wenry added. Roy blinked. "I didn't know that--" Roy was saying. "Of course not," Wenry said. She followed Ray downstairs. Roy did, too.

----------------------Canteen, Ray's table--------------------

Ed, Roy, Al and Wenry all sat surrounding Ray. Ray was staring at her food, which was bacon.

"Now can you tell us about your 'mission'?" Roy asked. Ray glared. "No," She said. "I'll tell you when I want to."

"Aw, come on, Ray," Ed said, crossing his arms. "Midget," Ray whispered.

"Ma'am, if you don't tell them, it will haunt you forever," Al said. Ray sighed. "I know," She said softly. "And?" Wenry asked, crossing her arms. "Maybe they can help." "No, they can't. But since all of you want to hear, and majority wins, so..." Ray mumbled.

"During the mission, they called two alchemists. One of the Military, one a wandering alchemist," Ray said. "My assistant, was of course, Wenry. And the other girl's-- Gallenne-- was Jack. I was the Black Flame, and she was the Twin Snake Illusion." "Long name," Ed interrupted. "Whatevs," Ray said. "Anyway, the mission was to seek out the Homunculus' lair, also known as Lab 5. The reason why Ed got through was the security was weakened after we went there. Trust me, if Ed went there with us, he wouldn't stand a chance-" She laughed bitterly. "-then, bam. Some kind of creepy Witch Hunter, which of course was Ishbalan, came and accused Gallenne of witchcraft. That Witch hunter didn't know about alchemists, which was kind of weird. When I snapped, surprisingly, the Witch Hunter dodged. The Witch Hunter said two of us had to die. Jack accidentally said 'Yes' because he thought the Witch Hunter asked us if any of us wanted pie. So his fate was sealed. When he died, Gallenne got mad because she said he was the only one who remembered where she last put her pie, so she got chosen too." "That's it?" Ed asked in disbelief. "Pie?!" "Yeah. She loves pie," Ray said, sighing. "But I still think she's crazy for, you know, DYING for pie."

"Yes. If I remember correctly, you and the Twin Snake Illusion were equal in power?" Wenry asked. "Yeah. But one thing she doesn't have that I do is long-distance attacks," Ray said, raising her hand. "And what she has that I don't is venom." "Venom?" Roy asked, shocked. "I thought she was 'illusion'!" "She is," Ray said. "Depends. She can make you think you're getting bitten by snakes but you're not. She can make you think you're not getting bitten by snakes, but you are. She has vials of venom in her pocket, if I remember correctly."

"Ms. Ray," Wenry said slowly. "I think I know who killed them." "Who?" Ray asked wearily. She was getting tired of that mission where only half of her team got out alive. "I think that was... Annette." Wenry said. "Who in the hell is Annette?" Ray asked. "...Gallenne's old teacher."

--------------------Father's Lair----------------------

"Father, I'm--" Annette was saying. When she went in, she narrowed her eyes at Chaos. "You! You're the witch!" Annette screamed, backing away slowly. Chaos raised her eyebrows. "I am not and I was never a witch." "Explain those illusions, then!" Annette screamed. "Duh. That's why I was called the Twin Snake Illusion Alchemist!" Chaos said, annoyed.

"Now, girls," Father said softly. "We don't want you two screaming at each other, so zip your mouths." "Yes, sir," Annette mumbled in defeat. She killed an innocent alchemist...?!
"Yeah, whatevs," Chaos said, rolling her eyes. "I'll talk to ya later, okay?" Father looked at her in annoyance. "You two are pissing us off," He said, frowning. "How dare you defy me?" "Ah, old man, I defy anyone." Chaos said, dragging Vociferous.

Envy stared at them in shock. Did he really recruit these guys?

--------------------Ray------------------------------------

Ray stared at the ceiling. Roy went in her room.

"Is it tough for you to handle your friend is gone?" He asked. "A bit," Ray admitted. "I mean, if she was here, she could torture you nonstop, too." "God, you and your friends creep me out," Roy mumbled. Ray smiled. "Eh? But we're acting nice already," She lied. "Hmph." Roy said. "As of today, you did nothing to make my life miserable, exceot this morning." "No," Ray said. She grinned and whistled. A dog jumped out from the top of her door, carrying a bucket of water. The water splashed on Roy.

"Oh God, no!" Roy cried. He ran out. His voice rang in the hallways as he shouted, "Raiyan Mustang! Go to bed!"

Negative: I always wanted that to happen~ Roy screaming "GO TO BED!" Sounds like he's grounding his daughter or something--

Chaos: Shoo. -starts flapping her arms- BEGONE, EVIL AUTHORESS!

Negative: Eh? Well, I'm STUCK here with ya, kid. Better to suffer eternal torment.

Chaos: ...I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME BECOME MURDERED BECAUSE OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS!

Negative: Speak human. Oh yeah. You AREN'T human.
