It's come to my attention that my line breaks from the first two chapter disappeared when I posted them here. So I went back an reinserted them. Hopefully that will solve the problem and make it a little easier to read.

Also, I got an anonymous review from someone asking if Al was in his armor. Yes, yes he is. This chapter will make it more clear when in the series the story falls. As for FMP's timeline I'm still juggling exactly when it happens there but it's before the end of the first season for...obvious reasons.

Chapter 3

"The Sowing life Alchemist?" Sousuke said reading the paper he'd been handed. It was a detailed report about a guy named Shou Tucker.

"Yeah, that's where Al and I have been going for the past few days. Weren't you curious about that?" Ed said plopping his bag down on the café table they were currently occupying.

"Colonel Mustang told me you were doing research." Sousuke said in about the most nonchalant way someone like Sousuke could say things.

"Yeah, we're doing it at Tucker's place. He has some pretty interesting books, but we haven't found what we're looking for yet. So how did Winry react when she saw that robot thing of yours?" Ed waved a waitress over to take their orders.

"Miss Rockbell…" Sousuke uttered the name like saying it would spawn the girl from the ground. "She acted quite oddly. She emitted a loud pitch noise similar to the sound an A.S. makes when a joint is damaged. She proceeded to run around the arbalest talking nonsense."

Ed laughed. "Sounds like she forgave you. What did I tell you Al? All you have to do is dangle something mechanical in front of her and she forgets everything else."

"Brother that's not very nice." Al said eying Ed. "So is she still with robot then Mr. Sagara?"

"Affirmative. Although Al won't let her inside the cockpit."

"Al?" Ed repeated the name glancing over at his brother who looked bewildered that his own name had come up.

"Ah, I apologize. Al is the name of the A.I. inside of the Arbalest."

"Oh…I guess that makes sense." Alphonse said with a nervous giggle.

"Right. Tons of sense." Ed said sarcastically. "Except stuff like that doesn't exist so it makes no sense at all!" He voice had gotten steadily louder as he went through the sentence gaining attention from nearby tables. He was completely frustrated by the whole situation. Technology hadn't advanced to the point where they could be familiar with things like A.I., which Sousuke had already explained to them meant artificial intelligence. Hell, half the houses outside of Central didn't even have electricity in them yet. On top of all this weird crap with Sagara happening that good for nothing colonel had stuck the nuisance of a guy with him. What was he? A babysitter? "And why did you even agree to work with the military in the first place?" Ed continued. He simply couldn't make sense of the situation no matter how long he thought it over. "It's not like we have anything you need."

"On the contrary Mr. Elric," Sousuke had started calling him that when Ed had threatened to throttle him after his third attempt to call him Major instead of Ed. "your military has information, something I lack at the moment. Lack of information on the battleground can get you killed. Colonel Mustang also offered to help find me a way home in exchange for my services under him. You also possess a skill I've never seen before, and I'd like to learn more about that."

"A skill you've never seen before?" Al piped up. He was used to his brother's outbursts in public and wasn't the slightest bit upset about it.

Sousuke nodded. "Affirmative. I believe Colonel Mustang referred to it as alchemy."

"Alchemy?" Ed said having finally calmed down a bit. "You've never seen alchemy before?"

"Affirmative. It did not exist where I come from."

Ed stared wide eyed at the boy in front of him. The concept of alchemy not existing was beyond foreign to him. It had been a part of his life since he was a little kid. He clenched his metal wrist in his flesh hand as thoughts of childhood brought back not so pleasant memories.

"So Mr. Sagara, we were planning on heading back to Mr. Tucker's place after we finished here. Would you like to come with us? You could meet Nina and their dog Alexander." Al asked getting a bit excited when he talked about Nina and the dog.

Sousuke seemed to think about something for a moment as his eyes. "This 'Tucker' has books about this world?"

Al nodded.

"Very well." Sousuke concluded folding his arms. "If I am to stay here it is pertinent I learn what I can. Information is needed to begin forming a plan."

"Did you want something to eat?" Ed asked with his mouth full of…something. The waitress had just returned with a tray laden with dishes which she had set in front of Ed.

"Negative. I had a ration before leaving this morning."

"A ration?" Ed said in awe nearly dropping his fork. "You mean that prepackaged garbage they give soldiers during war?"

Sousuke nodded. "Affirmative, although the rations given by your military taste much better than the ones I had stored in the emergency pack."

"Ugh, I tried one of those once it was the worst thing I've ever eaten. I have no idea how you can stomach that crap." Ed said shoveling another forkful of food into his mouth.

"I don't know what you mean. They're perfectly balanced meals. Though, I do prefer jerky when I can get it."

Ed glared from the other side of his food. This guy was definitely weird. No doubt about it.

"Rain? Great." Ed complained as they approached Tucker's residence. Apparently Mother Nature hated him right now too because as soon as they'd left the restaurant it had begun to pour. "Rain always makes my ports hurt." He muttered.

"Come on brother we're almost there." Al said cheerfully. He had been trying to lighten Ed's mood all day to no avail. Instead Ed trudged on as though the weather were a personal insult.

"Rain is certainly unfavorable." Sousuke added. "It lowers visibility and maneuverability. It's the prime time for ambush. We should be on alert."

"Ambush?" Ed said incredulously as he marched up the steps. "Who the hell is gonna ambush us?"

"Thanks for allowing us over again today Mr. Tucker!" Al called opening the front door when his knock received no answer.

"You never know when an ambush will occur. That is the point of an ambush. Surely your military trained for ambush situations." Sousuke inserted expertly. He didn't sound snide like Ed had expected him to, just…informative.

"Mr. Tucker?" Al moved from door to door trying to locate the man.

"That's weird." Ed said following his brother. "Usually he greets us at the door. I wonder if he couldn't hear us because of the rain."

"Ah, there you are Mr. Tucker. We brought a-"

"You're just in time boys." Tucker said standing up and moving to the side for the three to see what he'd been doing. Sitting in front of him was an oddly shaped animal. Sousuke stared at it nonplussed. He wasn't familiar with the animals from this world yet. For all he knew this creature was absolutely normal. "I've just completed it. You see that person over there? That's Edward."

The creature opened and closed its mouth several times before saying. "Ed…ward."

Ed eyed the creature with fascination. "Wow it can really talk." He said moving toward it.

"That person there…Ed…ward." It said this time watching Ed.

"That's right." Tucker congratulated with a broad smile.

"Ed…ward….big brother Edward."

Ed's eyes grew wide with what Sousuke immediately identified as panic. He had his gun in his hand in a second, though no one else seemed to notice him at that moment. He didn't quite grasp the situation, but if Tucker or that thing made any suspicious moves his lack of knowledge wouldn't stop him from reacting.

"Mr. Tucker." Ed's voice came out as almost a whisper. "When did you say you got your state alchemist certification?"

"Let's see. That was…two years ago."

"And when did your wife leave you?"

Tucker hand dropped and his expression darkened. "That was two years ago too."

"I just have one more question for you. Nina and Alexander…Where are they?" Ed ground the last part out between clenched teeth.

Al gasped seeming to come to a realization that was eluding Sousuke.

"Damn brat…figuring it out so quickly. Is that why you brought him?" Tucker nodded his head toward Sousuke who was watching Tucker closely.

Before Tucker could so much as breathe in to talk again Ed flung himself across the short gap between the two of them slamming Tucker into the wall.

"Brother!" Al called putting out a hand as though to grab the shorter boy, but he made no actual effort to separate the two. Sousuke aimed the gun at Tucker making sure to keep Ed out of the line of fire.

"Yeah I figured it out! Two years ago you used your wife to create a chimera! And this time around you used your dog and your own daughter!"

Sousuke still didn't understand what was going on fully, but it was obvious from Ed's reaction that whatever Tucker had done it was atrocious.

"I don't understand why you're so upset. Human experimentation leads to progress. I thought as a fellow scientist you'd understand."

"SHUT UP! Do you really think you can get away with this? Messing around with someone else's life like that! Your own daughter!" Ed yelled shaking with fury.

"Messing around with someone's life you say? You'd know all about that wouldn't you? Does your friend over there know about your own results of messing around with somebody's life!"

"SHUT UP!" Ed screamed and his fist flew forward smashing into Tucker's nose.

"We're the same! We are!" Tucker yelled almost gleefully and Ed seemed to panic.

"No!" He brought his fist forward again and again and was about to bring it down again when something caught it easily.

"That's enough."

Ed turned wide panicked eyes to see Sousuke looking at him calmly.

"You don't know! Do you?" Tucker said directing it at Sousuke. "How else would you-"

"Quite!" Sousuke voice echoed through the now silent room. It was the first time either of the Elric's had seen him raise his voice even slightly. His gun was aimed directly at Tucker's temple. "Alphonse." Sousuke didn't take his eyes off of Tucker but his voice had returned to a normal level. "Please contact the colonel. Edward, you should probably wait in the hallway."

Ed seemed to jolt out of his shock. "Like hell I'm gonna just-!"

"Brother!" Al said clapping a hand on Ed's shoulder. "He's right."

Ed begrudgingly let himself be led outside.

"Did you send them out so you could kill me?" Tucker asked almost calmly.

Sousuke looked down into Tucker's eyes and Tucker flinched. There was a definite lack of emotion in those eyes at the moment. They were the eyes of someone who could and would pull the trigger if tempted. "No." he said resolutely. "Not unless you give me a reason to."

"Daddy…daddy hurt?" the chimera asked shuffling toward the two.

Sousuke had seen a lot of psychopaths in his line of work, but this guy was near the top of the list. He was practically falling over himself not to die despite having done, from what Sousuke had gathered from Ed's reaction, the worst possible thing you could do to your own child. Luckily it wasn't long before Mustang and his men came bursting into the room. They took control over watching Tucker and began questioning him. Mustang motioned for Sousuke to follow into one of the many rooms in the house that was empty at the moment.

"Alphonse told me what you did." Mustang said eying Sousuke with what looked like respect. "You have my thanks. Fullmetal can be a bit difficult to handle even at the best of times, and according to his brother it certainly wasn't the best of circumstances."

Sousuke shook his head. "I was just doing my duty to the best of my abilities. He's your subordinate and therefore if harm were to come to him it would harm you."

"Right. I'll need to talk to you later and I'll need a written report if you can handle that, but for now you're dismissed."

Sousuke saluted before walking out of the room and out onto the front steps where Ed and Al were sitting in the rain. "You know, if you sit there you'll most likely catch a cold." Sousuke said breaking the silence and making the two startle out of whatever they'd been thinking about.

Ed watched him warily. "Is Tucker…"

"Dead?" Sousuke finished the thought for him. It was obvious by the way he was watching him that he thought he'd killed Tucker. He looked like he was eying a deadly snake that could strike at any moment. "Negative. He is being interviewed by Colonel Mustang at the moment."

"Then why'd you make me leave!" Ed said clearly still upset.

"You were emotional." Sousuke said turning his eyes from the boy to watch the rain pooling at the bottom of the steps instead. "Emotion is dangerous in situations where there is a volatile enemy. Especially anger. Anger makes you unstable, rash."

"When you told us to leave…. I thought you had…" Alphonse said seeming both embarrassed to finish the thought in his presence and relieved that Sousuke hadn't done what he thought he had.

"A soldier must take a life when the action is required, but that does not mean he enjoys killing."

Sousuke turned to see Hawkeye and Mustang at the front quite near to him. It was Hawkeye who had spoken and she was watching Sousuke with respect. In her he saw a fellow soldier and he was sure she saw the same from him.

"In the line of duty sometimes people have to get their hands messy. When the order comes down we're forced to take another's life. At some point in the future you might get that order Fullmetal. Are you going to break down like this every time that happens?" Mustang said walking past Ed and Al on his way to a waiting car.

Hawkeye hung behind for a moment to hand Sousuke a slip of paper that detailed when he would be meeting with Mustang and where before she too took her leave.

Sousuke's next meeting with Mustang came earlier than expected. Mustang had come running into the tent apparently looking for Edward and upon finding a certain lack of him had Sousuke join him in his office with a few other military personnel.

Mustang sat behind his desk looking seriously at the wood for a moment before making hurried introductions. "Leuitenant Colonel Hughes, Major Armstrong, this is Sousuke Sagara."

Both men nodded in Sousuke direction. Hughes even threw in a 'nice to meet you'.

"Sir what is this about?" Sousuke asked unsure why the room felt so tense.

Mustang eyed the boy sharply. "Shortly after we left the Tucker residence Shou Tucker and the chimera he created were discovered dead."

"Dead?" Sousuke asked in shock. "But who-?"

"The suspected killer is a man running around killing off noted state alchemists. We don't know his identity yet, so for purposes of identification he's being called Scar."

"Noted state alchemists? Why would he do that?"

"We don't know his reasons or methods. We know nearly nothing about him. Just that he has a large scar across his face."

"With all due respect Colonel, this is taking too long." Armstrong said fidgeting.

"I'm aware Major."

"Too long…? You think you know his next target?" Sousuke said eying the colonel. He wasn't exactly sure why the man had called him there yet.

"Precisely Sagara, and considering your actions today I think you'd be the perfect person to protect his next target."

"My actions…today…" Sousuke paused then his eyes snapped wide. "You think he's after Mr. Elric."

It wasn't a question, but Mustang nodded anyway.

"Precisely, and we have no idea where either of the Elrics are at the moment. Sagara we need your help finding them."

"Roger!" Sousuke said standing at attention and startling the two in the room who weren't used to Sagara's unusually abrupt manner.

"I think we'll stand a better chance if we split forces up. I'll be taking several under my command to the North section of town and I've already sent out a search party in the South. I think you'd do best on your own. Check wherever you think they might have gone. If you find any clue as to where they might be signal it in on this radio." Mustang slammed a radio down. "We'll also be conveying any knowledge about their whereabouts through here. This is a matter of life and death Sagara. If we don't find them first they might die."

"Understood Sir."Sagara said with a salute retrieving the radio.

With that finished everyone hurried off to find the Elrics. Sousuke exited the building and made for the street listening to the sound of radio chatter and rain hitting cement. He kept his eyes open for any sign of red or any idly walking suit of armor. For two hours he wandered East City to no avail. Then he spotted something he hadn't intended to find. In front of him walking determinedly was a man wearing a yellow jacket with black stripes. Both his hands were in his pockets as if to hide them and he was making his way toward a park. It might have been that odd act that caught his attention first, after all it wasn't everyday you saw someone wandering around a park in the pouring rain, but it was the man's face the held his attention. Scarred pale on the tanned skin was a giant cross. He matched the description of the Alchemist killer to a 't'. Well, it was a vague description to say the least, but following the suspicious man was better than wandering lost through the city right?

Sousuke subtly tailed him as he cut through the grass toward another sidewalk. The man turned back as if expecting someone to be following, or perhaps he'd just noticed that Sousuke was there. Sousuke fell back a few steps and when the man continued to watch Sousuke turned down another pathway keeping an eye on the man the whole time he walked slowly in another direction until the man began to walk again. Then he duck behind a bush and began to follow him more stealthily which, unfortunately, meant he had to stay further back. It was for this reason that he hadn't seen the man's intended destination until it was too late.

A cry nearly indistinguishable as the word 'brother' from Sousuke's distance was heard. He broke into a sprint after the corner he had seen the man take moments before only to see utter destruction. Crashing a rumbling could be heard not to far away. He activated his radio while running. "This is Sagara!" He called jumping over some rubble and finally spotting the Elrics being chased by the man three stories below him, and the stairs were completely destroyed…swell. "I've spotted the Elrics. They're being pursued by a man matching the suspect's description. Location is Northern part of the city just off of the park by the warehouse district. They're heading East."

"Good job Sagara we're on our way. We'll try to set up a road block. Do you think you can lead them toward it?"

"Roger that. In pursuit." Sousuke called lowering himself as carefully yet quickly as he could from one level of stairs to the next before taking off in the direction of destruction. He listened to his radio as Mustang gave street names he was vaguely familiar with from studying maps over the last few days. Gradually he caught up with the three he was pursuing. The Elrics would run or try to use alchemy to get to better ground and away from the raving psychopath, but he would thwart them every time. Sousuke drew his pistol, took aim, and missed. The bullet flew wide as its intended target slammed his hand to the ground again causing the roof Sousuke had been standing on to collapse and simultaneously block the Elric's escape path.

Sousuke jumped left so he'd land on the other side of Scar instead of being pinned like the other two. "Stop, or I shoot." Sousuke said landing on one kneeing and leveling his gun at the man's heart. His eyes flickered to the Elrics who looked out of breath, but otherwise unharmed.

The man had frozen for a brief moment upon hearing Sousuke, but was now turning to face him eying the weapon. Scar made a lunge for Sousuke only to find empty air as he rolled to the side to avoid the blow.

"I don't know who you are." Ed said slapping his hands together. "But you're starting to piss me off." His hand ran along his wrist and outward.

"As long as there are creators in the world like you, there must also be destroyers like me." Scar said seriously. "Alchemy is a crime against god."

Ed dodged the blow intended for him, but the man hit his arm. There was a jolt and the coat tore, but otherwise Ed seemed fine. He took the coat apparently pissed it had been ripped, but what he revealed shocked Sousuke and put a smile on Scar's face. The arm was far beyond what Sousuke had thought these people capable of making. Hell, it was better than the prosthetics in the world he came from.

"A metal arm." Scar said a small smile spread. "That explains it."

Ed charged again screaming some expletive. Their hands met, and then there was an explosion. Ed's arm blew clean off his shoulder and scattered into a thousand tiny pieces. Sousuke took five shots forcing Scar back from the boy with each one.

"Run!" he called back at Al who was helping his brother to stand. As soon as the word left his mouth Scar advanced on him attempting to catch him with the same hand he'd hit Ed's arm with. "East!" he called over his shoulder as Al finally got Ed running. It hadn't been an easy task for the younger brother. Ed still wanted to fight. He ducked another blow aimed at his head. He focused in on Scar and took a shot. The man backed off quickly, obviously unwilling to injure himself and tried to pursue the Elrics. "Like hell." Sousuke grunted firing another three shots. He would have fired more except his magazine he just ran out of rounds. He mentally cursed himself for not counting as he fired.

Scar doubled back attempting to catch him with the dangerous arm again as was reloading the gun. He was successful, but not as successful at he'd hoped. He caught Sousuke with the nonlethal arm slamming him backward and causing the gun to careen away as his back then head smashed into a solid stone wall. Sousuke grunted in pain as his head spun, but apparently Scar didn't find him worthy of finishing off. Instead he began his pursuit of the Elrics again.

Sousuke blinked trying to clear his vision. He was sure he had a concussion at the least. He picked up his radio to tell them they needed to move in, but unfortunately at some point in the fight he'd dropped it. "Not good." He said forcing his way up the wall slowly. "I've got to follow them."

They had been running for only two or three minutes when Scar caught up to them again. Sousuke had yelled East so that was the way Al was leading them. "We've got a visitor Al." Ed said. "And he doesn't look too happy."

Scar slammed him hands to the ground make the ground break apart enough for Ed to lose his footing. He stumbled and fell hard. Scar took his opportunity and ran in for the kill. Al cut him off kicking his hand away from Ed as the boy groped his way back to his feet. Al and Scar squared off, but before Ed could even blink Scar had blaster a hole in Al's side.

Scar faltered for a moment in shock. "It's empty."

"You bastard!" Ed yelled charging with a hastily transmuted dagger made from the cement. Since he didn't have his arm at the moment his normal blade was out of the question. "Stay away from my brother!"

Scar caught Ed with an uppercut sending him flying backwards out of the alley they'd been in and into the street. Ed felt like his jaw had been knocked loose by the blow. He attempted to stagger back up but Scar was already there.

"Brother!" Al screamed desperately unable to help as the blow Scar had dealt had cost him a leg.

"I will give you a moment to pray to whatever god you follow." Scar said watching the frail boy beneath him.

There was a long moment before Ed turned his head to look at Scar. "Unfortunately I don't exactly have any god I want to talk to. I'm not on good terms with any of them. Let me ask you something though. My brother. Do you intend to kill him too?"

"Brother! What are you doing! Run!" Al screamed wobbling in a vain attempt to get to Ed.

"No. My only target today is you, but should he block my path I will not hesitate."

Ed said nothing as Scar lowered his hand toward his head.

"No! Stop it! You can't!" Al shouted.

A gunshot rang through the air startling Ed and Scar long enough that the man stopped. He turned toward the noise. "That's enough. You won't be killing anyone else today Scar. I'm taking you into custody where you'll answer for the deaths of at least ten state alchemists." Colonel Mustang said lowering the pistol which he had aimed in the air.

"Alchemists alter things from their natural state of being, turning them into something grotesque. They profane god. As a messenger of god I am here to hand down my judgment. If you interfere I will eliminate you as well."

"Oh is that so?" Mustang said stepping forward cockily. "You guys stay out of it."

"But Colonel Mustang! Sir!" Hawkeye countered.

"Colonel Mustang. The flame alchemist." Scar said sizing up the man before him. "How nice of you to have delivered yourself to me for judgment."

"So you know who I am and you still want to challenge me?" Mustang said just as Hawkeye kicked the back of his legs and Scar's hand sailed right past where his head would have been. She drew two pistols and fired in rapid succession to force the man back.

"Hawkeye! What the hell did you do that for?" Mustang said indignantly from the ground.

"We all know you're useless on a rainy day sir. Please stay back where it's safe." She said determinedly.

"Oh yeah, I guess it would be pretty hard to get a spark going in all this huh?" Havoc volunteered from Mustang's side.

While they were talking Armstrong had taken over the fighting with Scar ducking and weaving to avoid the man's hand and throwing back punches when he could. While he distracted the man the other soldiers slowly made their way into a wide ring around the fighting pair.

Just as Scar was beginning to figure out a flaw in Armstrong's attack pattern the Major pulled back and shots were fired. Scar avoided the first and second, but the third caught his sunglasses.

"Did you get him?" Mustang asked Hawkeye as she reloaded her gun.

"No sir. Just a graze. He's too fast."

"Red eyes and brown skin." Armstrong said awestruck by the sight.

"Of course. He's an Ishvalan!" Mustang concluded watching the man.

"Too many." Scar muttered.

"You might as well give up Scar. You're not getting away." Mustang said holding up a hand so he could give the fire signal if he had to.

Scar took one last glance around before slamming his hand into the ground. Blue sparks went up and the ground surrounding him broke apart allowing him to fall into the sewers.

"He's in the sewers." Havoc said eying the giant hole with distaste once the smoke had cleared.

"Stay put." Mustang said abruptly.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Havoc said backing away from the stinking pit.

""I'm sorry Major, but thank you for buying us enough time to surround him." Mustang said

"Oh is it over?" Hughes

"Lieutenant Colonel Hughes where have you been this whole time?" Armstrong asked turning to the man.

"I thought it best to lay low."

"You didn't think about maybe backing us up?" Mustang said angrily.

"Of course not. A normal guy like me shouldn't get involved in fights between you pack of pseudo humans! It's bad for my health!" Hughes countered. He turned to the idly standing troops. "Don't just stand there! Deploy troops! Get a…"

"Sir!" Havoc ran up holding a radio.

"What is it Lieutenant?" Mustang asked turning to him.

"It's Sagara sir. We've been trying to radio him this whole time, but we aren't getting a response."

Mustang frowned and moved toward Ed who was just not sitting up.

"Al!" Ed called running over to his brother. "Al! Are you okay? Al!"

"You idiot!" Al screamed punching Ed.

"Cut it out with the idiot stuff Al. I'm still your older brother." Ed said rubbing his cheek.

"Why didn't you run? Do you think it's okay to die?"

Ed said nothing averting his gaze.

"You can't gain anything if you die!" Al continued.

"I don't mean to interrupt a family bonding moment." Mustang said stepping forward. "And personally I think he needs the sense knocked into him, but right now we need your help. The last confirmed transmission from Sagara was that he was meeting up with you two. We haven't heard from him sense. Where is he? He's the one who told you to run this way right?"

"Oh no. Brother!" Al panicked looking at Ed.

Ed had paled. He had seen what Scar was capable of. It was fully possible that Sousuke was lying dead in the street right now. "He distracted Scar while we ran ahead." Ed said low, nearly a whisper.

Mustang's frown deepened. "We need a search party Havoc."

"Roger sir." Havoc said running off to flag down a group.

"As for you two. We'll be heading back to the hospital. I'll have someone call in your mechanic." Mustang said, and with that they were loaded into cars and driven away.

So…pretty long chapter eh? There's a bit of dialogue from the anime in here because I did want these two events to happen, but I switched it up a little; and honestly I always sort of wondered how Mustang's group was in the exact spot that Ed and Scar came out of. It seems a bit too perfect without planning. So now there was planning. XD

Speaking of planning I'm still plotting on this story. I can't decided a final destination with it, and that's both good and bad. Good because it means the story won't be ending any time soon. Bad because it's generally stories without final direction that go onto the abandoned list when it comes to FF. net. Not that I've ever abandoned a story or plan to. (I love writing too much)

Well. Even without that sort of depressing afternote this chapter was twelve pages long. A record for me, I think. Even the final chapter to Feathers wasn't this long. Well, on to more writing and work. 'Til next time!
