First Transmutation

(Keira)

Agh! I'm such an idiot! How could I forget?! This is about when Scar's attacking Ed and Al. I have to find them. Help them. Anything. I run back in the general direction of HQ. Hoping to run by them or something. My cloths stick to my body, my boot sequel every time they hit the ground, my loose hair plasters on the sides of my face and I'm panting but still going strong. I just run by an alley way when there was a huge explosion on the other side. Well, that has to be them. I run into the debris. As the dust clears, there was a huge wall of rumble in front of me. No problem. I take a couple of steps back, get a running start, and run along the side of the wall to the other side. I land beside a broken Al and swiftly stand back up. Ed was on the ground with Scar looming over him, about to blow his brains out.

"Ed!" I scream and clap my hands together, slap them on the ground, and transmute a katana. Scar looks back, surprised by the new comer. I run up and slice upwards, not knowing what I'm trying to accomplish. He side steps, but I still slice his left arm.

"Mwhahaha! That's what you get you murderer." I yell while flicking the blood off of my awesome sword, looking like a mad woman but I didn't care.

"Who are you? A State Alchemist?" he asks gripping his bleeding arm.

"Do I look like a State Alchemist to you!?" I yell.

"So you're not?" he says confuse.

"No! That's what I just said!" A gunshot fires and everybody's attention's is towards the bankrupt coronel with a god complex. "Really!" I yell. Mustang looks at me weird, but gets back to the problem.

"Cornel! He's…" Ed starts saying but was cut off.

"That man is suspected in the serial killings of State Alchemist. And judging from what I'm seeing, that suspicion just became fact…" I zone out, having read this countless times. I hold my sword, tip to the ground. I remember there was something missing, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Hey Kat," I turn to face her – she wasn't there. Aw crap. She's going carve me up after this. Something tugs at my shoulder and I spin around to find a tired, wet Kat. "Hey, there you are! I was looking everywhere for you!" I say, trying to cover myself up. She doubles over to catch her breath before screaming,

"LOOKIN...!"

"Wait shush." I drop in what was happening. Hawkeye just trip the Coronel and he's screaming "What was that for?!"

"You're useless on rainy days. Please stand back Coronel." She says as she loads a gun. Useless drops on his head, I burst out laughing. And to my surprise Kat starts laughing with me.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask her.

"Because I remember that he shoots out flames or something." she replies, still laughing.

"Just wait…" I say in anticipation. Armstrong suddenly comes in. Kat and I watch as they battle, Armstrong ripping off his shirt, and finding out he's an Ishbalan.

"What's an Ishbalan?" Kat asks, but I just shake my head.

"I'll tell you all you need to know about the story later but right now, take a couple of steps back." I say, stepping back into the alleyway as Kat did the same. "Hiya Al!" I say as we back up to him. He stays silent. Ok then… Scar finally makes his exit through the sewers as Ed comes running over to us.

"Alphonse!" Ed yells to his brother, "AL! Are you all right?! Hey!"

"Edward…" He starts, "You idiot!" he screams as he punches him. I try to keep in the laughter, not wanting to interfere.

"I'm I missing something?" Kat stands on her tip toes to whispers in my ear.

"Yeah, a lot of things." I say. Once the soldiers come to check up on Ed and AL, I take Kat behind the troops lines and hide behind a car to fill her in on what has happened, why I ran, what an Ishbalan is and the war between the military and Ishbal. Once I was done, she stays silent. "Kat…?"

"You could at least fill me in before things happen!" she whispers harshly.

"Sorry…" I say dropping my head.

"Sheesh, what am I going to do with you!" she exclaims throwing her arms out.

"I don't know." I say, chuckling. She smiles in response.

"Well," she stands up and stretches, "Lets finish our shopping then you can explain everything to me at the apartment."She holds out a hand to me, and I take it. I brush myself off as we head the opposite way of the battle scene.

"Hey!" someone shouts. We both turn around to see Ed and Mustang standing in front of us. I raise an eyebrow.

"What?" I demand.

"We have a couple of questions for you." Mustang states, motioning to me in particular. Oh great…

"Meet me at the apartment." I say to Kat who shakes her head.

"No way am I going to be left behind again." she starts walking towards Mustang, pulling me along with her. Here we go.

The questions lasted about an hour at HQ. Ed, surprisingly, thanked me for saving him. He wouldn't have died anyways, but I accepted it graciously while fangirling inside. We talked for about an hour about the war in Ishbal and about what to do with Scar.

"So what are you guys going to do now?" Hughes asks Ed and Al as they sit on the table all broken up. Kat and I stand in the circle next to Al and Ed, listening to their conversation.

"Shall I fix him for you?" Armstrong asks as he poses with his shirt off.

"No thank you!" Ed and Al say at the same time.

"I can't fix him without my arm, so I'll have to get another one." Ed says.

"Right," Riza starts thoughtfully, "if Edward can't use alchemy then he's just…"

"A little brat who swears a lot…" Havoc starts.

"And arrogant pipsqueak." Hughes chimes in.

"Useless, just useless." Mustang finishes.

"You're all picking on me!" Ed cries out.

"Hey, you were called useless too Mustang." I shout out as he sweet drops.

"Ha! Not so high and might now huh!" Ed yells. I never really liked it when Mustang insults Ed (even if they're really funny and true). Sometimes he needs to be slap in the face too. Mwhahaha! "I have no choice," Ed says getting us back on topic, "I have to go to my mechanic." AKA- the Rockbells. I sigh. This is when Ed gets closer to Winry. Once we got everything arrange for their departure (they have to go with Armstrong! Ha, poor fools…) we started to leave the room. Everyone walks out except for Al who has to be carried out by Armstrong. But one thing has been nagging at my mind since Scar asked me that one question.

"Hey, Coronel Mustang," by that time everyone has left the room except for the two of us.

"What is it? Um, Keira right?"

"Yes sir, when are the next Alchemy Exams?" he perks at this.

"Why?"

"I'm going to become a State Alchemist." I say with determination. He sighs.

"A couple of days." Ed would be gone for about a week. Perfect.

"Thank you sir." I bow and start to walk out the door.

"Wait." I stop, my face inches away from the wooden frame.

"Why do you want to choose this path?" I cock my head to the side and look at him.

"To make things right again."
