Chapter 10: Improbable Measures

Deimos, Sanford, Hank, Ed and Al were riding through the woodlands and were almost at Central City. However, Sanford's Hank's and Deimos' phones all let out an alarm that was deafening to Ed while he was napping in the car.

"HEY!" Ed yelled at the three mercenaries, "Why do you have to make sure I get angry at any one of you three?"

"Kid, we've gotten an alarm that tells us an entity that can consume an entire world has just awakened!" Hank exclaimed while almost crushing his fob watch.

"Well, I guess we need to go back to Nevada ASAP." Sanford informed as he starting drinking some scotch and put a cigarette in Deimos' mouth as he was driving.

"That'll be impossible for now," Deimos answered as he lit his cigarette. "We'll have to find something abundant as a fucking sun in order to magic our way back home."

"It's called Alchemy, not magic." Al interrupted.

"Coming from a talking suit of armor, I have reason to believe that this is just magic." Deimos responded.

"You should at least know what alchemy is," Ed trying to understand what is going on in Deimos' mind. "Do you understand this: All is one and one is all."

"That's it?" The three mercenaries asked in shock. "That's our motto in Anti-AAHW," the three stated simultaneously.

"Well, yeah, that's alchemy," Ed answered as the car took a sudden stop. He realized that they were in the wrong place. "Do you guys know where you're going, this isn't Resembool."

"NO SHIT SHERLOCK!" Hank cried as he punched Ed and they noticed Jessie flying straight towards Central but stopped, and then flew straight towards them.

"OH SHIT! DEIMOS DRIVE!" Was all that Hank could say at the moment and Deimos revved the car and they were going eighty miles per hour with half a tank full.

Jessie caught up to them and lifted the car then decided to put it on the ground, got inside the car and ordered, "Drive." Deimos starting driving again, this time directly to Central City.

"Hey Deimos," Ed called. "Why aren't we going to Resembool?"

"We were ordered to give a report to Colonel Mustang if we were ever to leave Ishbal."

"When was that?"

Sanford responded in a nonchalant voice, "Shortly before we met in that building the first battlefield and gave me this note, it reads:

Deimos,

I need you to investigate the Ishballan ruins

and this new enemy we've encountered.

If you ever leave Ishbal, you must report to

me at once.

"Wow," was all that could come up in Ed's mind.

Meanwhile in Nevada

Heather was keeping track of all the contracts that the rest of the Madness Combat Organization was supposed to complete. While she was going through the paperwork, somebody went inside the base and set off an alarm.

Intruder Alert!

Stowaways Aboard!

Heather quickly got up but was restrained by a figure wearing pink goggles, a light grey trench coat, super black pants, and white boots. She quickly broke out of her restraint and kicked him in the gut and in the balls. The figure was crippled and was strangled by Heather until he passed out. She got back up and turned off the alarm and put the unconscious person in one of the interrogation rooms.

As soon as the interrogation started, he started talking. "My name's Locke, I'm a former elite member of the AAHW and I have come to look for my dad."

"I'm guessing your dad is somebody in the Madness Combat Organization?" Heather asked as she punched Lucifer repeatedly on the head.

"To be honest, I've never heard of this organization, must be new. Anyway, I've been told that my dad is supposed to be in the Anti-AAHW."

"Then why did you come to this place?"

"Shelter, could you help me out and let me loose, I will leave as soon as you do that."

"Actually, I'd like to do a test to see if you might be related to anybody in the MCO. After all, we're all former Anti-AAHW."

"Fair enough."

After the interrogation, Heather led him to the lab and told him to roll up his sleeve. Heather pulled a syringe and took about 2 ml of blood and injected the blood in a slot of a small machine. It took about three minutes until it found out who he was related to, it was Hank.

This left Heather speechless for a few minutes until she broke the silence, "well, kid, I'm afraid to tell you that your dad isn't in Nevada right now."

"Alright, do you know where he is?"

"No, now get the fuck out of here before I blow you in half with this RPG," Heather threatened as she broke the case that said "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass" and pulled out the RPG inside it and pointed it at his position. He decided to leave while Heather watched him to make sure he didn't take anything with him. As soon as he got thirty meters away from the base, Heather shot at him with the RPG and it almost hit him, he dodged at the last second and he started running away.

"That's definitely Hank's son," Heather told herself. "I still can't get over the fact that Hank's not a virgin."

Back to Amestris

Deimos stopped at the plaza of Central City awkwardly with Jessie being in the back seat. Everybody was staring at her with fear as the road trip progressed and the anxiety slightly improves knowing that they're at their destination. However, Deimos broke the two hour silence, "So, why exactly did you attack us earlier?"

"Because I saw you four as threats," She responded coldly, almost in a catatonic tone. "I was trapped in my wrath filled mind that I couldn't control myself."

"You kinda sound like me," Hank told her in a joking manner. "But, our motives are incredibly different."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, I have a strong hate of pretty much every single living thing and I sometimes can't control myself."

"Do you hate everything all the time?"

"Yep."

After he answered, Jessie felt like he might become a monster that she'll have to fight later on.

"We'll probably become enemies, right?"

"Yeah probably, by the way, what's your name?"

"Jessie."

"Okay, guys," Deimos interrupted. "We'll have to hide Jessie and Hank because of their crimes and Ed, Al, Sanford and I will tell Mustang what happened."

"Alright Deimos, we'll come." Ed answered as they left the car and they headed directly at Mustang's office.

"Deimos, do you think we should scare him before we give the report?" Sanford asked he finished his scotch.

"Let's do something like that."
