A/N: Waah this story is almost meeting its end. :( Anyway, I hope you're still liking the story so far. Been working on my newest fic. Yay.
We all got back to Central the following day. We even brought out twins to the HQ since no one would take care of them.
"So, tell us what happened." General pushed his office door open while carrying Hunter. I followed behind him with Amber.
"Sir, the military officers reported that the führer has been suffering from this disease that had gradually spread throughout his body and slowly shut down his immune system without him even realizing it." Reported Lieutenant Breda.
"Though judging from what I saw at the scene when I passed by, since the führer was able to still write down his final messages, he probably knew about it all along." Victoria added while checking her files on her clipboard.
"Also," We heard Sgt. Major Fuery say, looking up while fixing his files and radios on his desk. "Some even say that he died a peaceful death." He blinked. "I saw the führer's body with Victoria, and it looked he was smiling."
I puckered my lips and swayed from side to side. Amber had her head leaned on my shoulder and had an arm circled on my neck. Grandfather...
"Tsk." General clicked his tongue. "Your excellency, why did you have to go now?" He groaned and lifted his free hand to rub his forehead.
"Since the führer died with a smile on his face, we shouldn't be disappointed nor cry over him. It would make him cringe even in heaven." I said monotonously.
"Sir, we will have to prepare the celebration for your promotion after the funeral." Said Victoria.
"No need for formalities. Preparing would be such a pain." General sat on his chair and cradled the sleeping Hunter. "I would just accept the position as how the the former führer left it in my hands."
"So, when will you transfer to the führer's office?" Asked Falman.
General grinned and scanned everyone in the room. "What do you mean 'you'? You're all transferring with me." His smile grew bigger.
"General becomes führer," Lt. Havoc looked over Hunter with glinting eyes. "and this guy is going to be Second Lieutenant or what?" He chuckled.
"Don't forget Amber, she may not look like it but she's definitely a warrior." I added with a smile.
Lt. Havoc laughed again. "Yes, of course." He grinned. "Your twins are strong, Lieutenant, General."
Fast forward 6 years. The twins are already 7 years old. A lot of changes have already happened within those years. Roy Mustang have already gotten the hang of being the president, Riza Hawkeye-Mustang have been promoted to Colonel, the twins overturned the world record in the military. Both twin got accepted by the military at the very age of seven.
Amber Mustang took the State Alchemy exam and passed it. She has been given the title, "Inferno Alchemist" because of her obsession for wildfire. She was also given a position in the military as Second Lieutenant and got assigned to Central along with her parents. She's carefree, but she's really mature and extremely helpful when it comes to war and persuasion.
Hunter Mustang on the other hand, overpowered her sister and got the rank of Captain. This is quite shocking, but not very shocking for Hunter. He's been acting way older for his age ever since he was born, and he is believed to be even more mature than his own father. He was supposed to be assigned at the Central but General Armstrong took him back to Briggs and made him her personal adjuntant like how her mother worked for his father before. Being able to catch the ferocious General's eye means that he's a lot more powerful than any other soldier.
"Your excellency," said Breda, walking towards Roy. "Your children are here to see you." He pointed towards the door.
The door suddenly busted open and there skipped inside Amber. "Mommy! Daddy! Look who just got back for a visit! Hunter's here too!" She cheered loudly.
"Amber," I sighed. "This is not our house. When inside the military, please address us accordingly." She went to me and hugged me.
"Ah, Colonel, Your Excellency," Hunter showed up in front of us. "I have come for a visit." He said blankly, like always.
"Welcome, Hunter, Amber." Roy smiled. "Hunter, how is it going on the north?"
"Somewhat the same as before. General Armstrong is training us to death." He sighed. "But for the first time in months, she gave me a break. I don't have anything else to do but train so I just decided to go to Central."
"Ne, Hunter." Amber let go of me and walked towards his brother. "Why has she been training you so hard? Is there something to be prepared of?" The whole room dissolved into silence.
Hunter blinked and scratched his head. "I was planning to give it some more time before I could say it but," he sighed. "I guess I have no more choice." He looked at Roy. "Your excellency, the truth is, I didn't come here for a visit. General has been training us to death to prepare."
"Prepare for what?" Roy asked him.
"Drachma is planning to take over Amestris." He replied. Everyone in the room caught our breath. "They're planning to start from the North. General said it's better if the Central gets to know about this so everyone would also be prepared. They might attack on any side of Amestris."
"Why are they still planning to take over Amestris when they always fail?" I asked.
"I believe it's different now. They have a whole new battalion of strong soldiers. We saw it with our own eyes." Hunter's eye twitched. "I'm planning to have Central and Northern HQ join forces. That way we could stand up to them in terms of power."
"Who are you planning to involve in this war?" Roy asked uncomfortably as he clasped his hands together and pressed it on his lips.
"I'm not planning to involve anyone. That's because everyone is already involved. They won't show mercy, and so will we." Hunter replied fiercely. "I'm giving this warning not just as a soldier, but also as a son. Otou-san, oka-san, be careful. Plan your forces wisely." he looked at Amber. "Amber, I've got something you will enjoy." he smiled a little.
Amber beamed at his brother. "What is it, Hunter?" She sounded very excited.
"It's not a thing, though. And you have to wait until the war." He said. "You'll be on the fourth line, waiting for my signal to attack. After that, you can play all you want."
"I can play with fire?" Amber asked happily.
"Definitely." Hunter nodded his head. Amber suddenly got out of character and smirked evilly. Hunter snorted to himself and ruffled his sister's blonde hair. "Let's go train, blondie." He smiled. He really does smile when it comes to his sister.. Only to his sister, though.
"Stop saying 'blondie' just because you have black hair!" Amber complained as the twins walked out slowly. "You have golden brown eyes, idiot. That's almost the same as having blonde eyes or something." She giggled loudly.
"Well you have black eyes. Ah, I guess that makes it fair." He said softly. Then then got out of sight.
"I actually don't know if I should be scared or be happy." Said Havoc. "They're tough, scary and strong individually but when you put them together, they actually get along."
"Hunter Mustang looks like the führer, while Amber Mustang looks like Colonel. When you see the twins together getting along like that, it's like seeing their parents' younger version playing together." Breda chuckled loudly. "Hunter's looks from his father, his personality from his mother. Amber's looks from her mother, her personality from her father." He shook his head happily. "Priceless."
Roy stood up from his desk and took my hand. "Wanna help them train?" He whispered.
I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Let's see how our children improved from the past few years."
"Hunter, do you want me to train with you?" I asked Hunter as I walked towards him. He was holding his gun, about to aim for the target.
"It's fine, mom." Hunter replied softly. He shot three times at the target and looked at me. "You want to shoot?"
"Want to battle?" I offered. "Show me the fruit of your training at Briggs."
"In return, show me the justice of your name, former Riza Hawkeye." He said. Suddenly we heard huge continuous explosions coming from the right hand corner. "That's probably Amber! Come on, mom, I think she overdid it!"
By the time we got to where the explosion occurred, we saw Roy and his daughter side by side with their hands on their waists looking proud.
"Roy? What's this?" I said, pointing at the wreck around us.
"Amber did it." He replied. "I'm actually proud." He grinned.
"Amber, you almost wiped out the city! Just train here at Central and lower the use and strength of the fire." Hunter shouted.
We heard someone grunt behind us. We all turned around to see everyone crowded behind us. "Just this little family would be enough to conquer Drachma." Major Armstrong smiled at us.
Today is the day of the war. Everyone was equipped and ready to go. 3/4 from central was stationed at north for counterattack while the remaining 1/4 remained for defense.
"I'll be on my designated point." I said, clutching my sniper.
Roy hugged me tightly. "Sweetheart, be careful." He whispered.
I sighed and patted his back. "I always am. You better not do reckless things, Roy, I'll be watching you." I replied. "Also, keep an eye on our twins, okay?"
"Riza.. They're still too young to be in this..." He tightened his hold around me.
"I know.." I muttered. "But they're strong, Roy, and you know it. They won't die easily."
He pulled back slightly to kiss my lips. "Promise me you'll be safe." I nodded. There came inside our twins, looking rather worried with a mix of blankness.
"Mommy.. Daddy.." Amber went to us and hugged us. Hunter quietly followed her and did the same thing. We all hugged one another in silence.
"Dad, Mom, Amber, you'll be okay right?" Hunter finally spoke.
"We will, Hunter. We'll all go home together." I assured him. "Hunter, be careful and watch your back always. Us snipers also have a dangerous job."
"I have something for all of us." Roy said, taking out 4 pendants with the same design. "An old lady sold this to me yesterday. It's a good luck charm." he placed one on each of us then on him. "If you're all feeling troubled or lonely, just clutch this. This way we can remember one another and it will be okay."
"When you kids are having a hard time in battling, don't hesitate to call out for help. We'll protect you." I added.
"Mommy, we're strong too, remember?" Amber smiled. "It's time to show Drachma what we kids can really do."
"Hailey.. Guide over us." Roy whispered. My heart just sank. Remembering Hailey made me feel like I can lose one or two of my family members on this war as well.
"Dad, who's Hailey?" Hunter asked.
"He's your older sister. Well, she's in.. Heaven right now." Roy fidgeted. "But I bet she'll protect us all." He hugged us tighter. "We'll all go home together." He said as he kissed the top of the twins heads and kissed my lips. "Be safe everyone. Show those Drachmans what our family can do."
"Point P, what's the current status there now?" There's a radio beside me as I look through my sniper to search for enemies.
"2 units are coming this way. One is armed, one is not. Seems like the other one is an alchemist." I replied.
"Shoot as you see an enemy. Wipe them all out!"
"Roger that." I aimed for the heads and shot them both.
"Point P, this is Captain Mustang, do you read?" It was Hunter's voice.
"This is Point P, Colonel Mustang. I hear you." I said.
"Point P, 6- no, 8 units towards the Eastern Wing! Be alert." He said. "These are heavily armed men. I also think the leader is with them. Shall I ask for reinforcements?"
"Before you do, I'll see them for myself first."
"Major Hale is going your way. We need more people to hold them off! They're stronger than you think." Hunter said aggressively.
"Hale is enough. That's that." I said. The radio ended. I could hear the gunshots everywhere and all over the place. I could even hear people's screams. There were explosions here and there.
Suddenly there was a huge explosion nearby, about 60 meters away. I flinched and turned around. I couldn't see that clearly because of the blizzard here at north, but I believe those who got hit by the explosion was the enemy.
"Point P, do you read?!" It was another man's voice.
"This is Point P, yes, what is it?"
"Change of plans! Major Hale received a huge and heavy blow from the leader of the drachmans! She's currently unconscious." he shouted through the radio. What? Victoria made contact with the leader?! That wasn't part of the calculations.. I froze stiff.
"Point P, respond!" I couldn't answer. "Point P! Shall I ask for someone else?"
"N-no! I can handle this myself." I clutched the pendant that Roy gave us a while ago. "How about Team 7 (Amber's unit), what is their status?"
"Team 7 is on the lead of the Inferno Alchemist. They have annihilated most of the enemy's territories along with their supply." He said. I breathed deeply. Thank God she's okay..
"Put me through them." I said.
I saw a silhouette of a group of men marching towards my direction. They were all big guys with a handful of weaponry. I looked through my sniper to take a closer look. As I directed my attention to the man leading the group, it suddenly stopped then swiftly turned his head to look at me directly. I flinched and caught my breath. I didn't have time to dodge at what he threw at me.
"KYAA!" I felt my back bang on the ceramic wall. I hit my head hard on it as well. I dropped my gun and clutched my right shoulder. My eyes grew as I saw a sword pierced through my shoulder. I groaned in pain and took deep breaths continuously.
"Point P, this is Team 7." I heard a girl's voice. I think it's Amber's. I slowly crawled towards the radio. When the men saw me still alive, they all hurriedly came for me as if they were hunters seeing a wonderful prey. "Point P, are you there?"
I grasped the sword shakily and pulled it out. "ACK!" I dropped the sword and spat out blood. Am I gonna die here?
"Point P- Mommy! Mom! Are you okay? Mom respond please!" Amber was panicking on the other line. The radio ended.
I tore off a part of my inner shirt to wrap it around my deep wound. I took my handgun and hid from the enemy's eyes. I know they're coming this way.. I know they're gonna kill me. I know they want me to die.
I waited for the enemy's coming for a few minutes. I breathed heavily and slumped my head on the wall, clutching my wounded shoulder.
"Well, well, well.." I heard a rough voice say. I turned my head in that direction. "A wounded chick." It was the big guy who threw me the sword. Behind him were his men who looked as tough.
"Boss, why don't you make him your girl?" A guy said. The so-called boss sat down and scanned my face closer. He lifted a hand to turn my head from left to right. I kept scowling at him as I held in the pain coming from my right side.
"She's very beautiful.." He smirked and looked at my body. "And hot." He saw my left hand that was clutching my shoulder. "Ahh, look, she's married. Married women are better to have." His smile grew bigger. His men chuckled behind him.
"What do you want?" I hissed through my gritted teeth. "Why don't you just kill me now?"
The big guy laughed irritatingly. "You're very interesting. Why don't we make a deal? I won't kill you and your friends and family, but you'll be my girl."
"No fucking way." I glared at him.
"So you don't care if we kill everyone you love?" He raised his eyebrows.
I twitched and shot his head with my handgun. I caught my breath as I saw him unscathed. "Wh-why..." I looked at him in fear.
"Guns won't work on me, pretty lady. I'm an alchemist too, you know." His face was coated with metal which protected him from the gunshot.
"So if guns don't work, how about fire?" Suddenly a huge wall of fire went across and swallowed the men in front of me. I looked at my right and saw Amber staring at the enemies with deadly eyes. "That's my mother you're hurting."
"Amber! Why did you come here!" I shouted.
"Mommy, you're bleeding!" She went to me and hugged me. "I was worried so I came here right away.." She whispered. I returned her embrace.
"You know.. I'm actually glad you came. You saved me, Amber." I whispered back. I looked at her and I winced at what I saw. She was staring at me with lifeless eyes. I felt her full weight drop on me. It was then that I saw her back pierced with a sword as well.
"AMBER!" I screeched and held her.
"Don't. Think. You. Could. Get. Away. After attacking us with that weak blow." The so-called boss staggered to get up.
"YOU BITCH." I ignored the pain from my right shoulder and took out my shotgun and aimed for him. "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU FUCKING BITCH." I shot him a lot of times in the head but it didn't work at all. My tears were already falling from my eyes. Blood.. Blood... Is my daughter gonna die?.. No... Not again.. Please.. Not again... Blood.. There's so much blood... No.. My whole world suddenly stopped.
The man took me by the neck and tightened his grasp. I wasn't moving at all. I was looking at nothing.. Blood.. Blood...
Flashback:
" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" I shouted at the top of my lungs and looked down on my body. My body was completely shaking as I saw a pool of blood under me coming from my own body. "My-" My voice shook. "My.. my baby.." Tears continued to stream down my face.
On my peripheral vision, I saw general flinch and turn his head to look at me. Victoria's eyes grew wilder and backed away from fear. "Wha- H-Hawkeye, you- you're pregnant?" She asked me shakily.
My heart fell a thousand feet deep. My baby... My baby... What's gonna happen now? I cried louder while clutching my stomach. I glared at Victoria with all my might. "YOU... YOU KILLED MY BABY." I sobbed and grabbed the knife beside me.
I was about to advance to strike Victoria but I felt my body being trapped in general's arms. "I WILL KILL YOU, YOU MURDERER!" I bellowed while struggling to get free.
"Ri- Riza.. Calm down.." He was also crying and hugging me. I collapsed and cried loudly on his chest.
"General.." I sobbed loudly. "My baby..." I sniffed, gripping his shirt tightly. "Our baby..." I let my heart out right there. I cried as hard as I could while holding my tummy. "
Tears streamed down my face unwillingly. I was prepared to die. I could feel my daughter's body lying on the ground beside me. I know she's alive. I know she is. Tears continued to fall down from my eyes.
"M-" cough. "Mommy.." I heard Amber whimper softly. Cough. "Mommy, we'll all go home together.." Cough. "We promised daddy and Hunter, right? -ack!" She howled in pain.
"Don't worry, little girl. I'll take you to your daddy and your brother.." The man holding my neck said. ".. In heaven." He laughed evilly and pointed his sword on my face.
After a while, I finally got ahold of myself and lifted my left hand slowly. My hand came contact with the pendant that Roy gave me. "If you're all feeling troubled or lonely, just clutch this. This way we can remember one another and it will be okay." I remembered him say. "We'll all go home together.." Roy.. I'm sorry.. I might not be able to go home with you..
bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! The man suddenly dropped me on the ground. He howled in pain and grasped his arm.
"Nice, son!" I heard Roy's voice. "You go for the wimps, I go for the boss."
"Roger that." I heard Hunter's voice as well. Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! The boss's troops fell down completely one by one.
"Why?! Why can you shoot me?!" Growled the boss.
Roy grunted. "Heh. We finally noticed your alchemy's weakness. You can't protect yourself if you have a weapon made by your alchemy beside you. You can't do offense and defense at the same time!" he clapped his hands and burned the man. "Riza!" He went to hug me on the floor.
My tears fell down even more. "Roy.. Get Amber first.. She needs a doctor.." I sobbed.
Roy looked behind me and saw Amber lying on the ground, still with a sword on her back. "Amber! Amber! Wake up!" I saw him patting his daughter's face on the cheek. "Amber!" His voice shook. "This is daddy, Amber.. Wake up now.. Amber, look, wake up.. This is daddy, daddy's here.. Mommy and Hunter is also here.." he started sobbing as well.
"What.." I heard Hunter's voice tremble. "Amber.." My tears streamed down even more. "She's alive.. I know it. Don't give me that look, you guys." He furrowed his eyebrows. He slowly put his hands down to his side.
Hunter's defenses were immediately lowered. I saw 2 men coming from his behind. "HUNTER, WATCH OUT!" I screamed at him. He didn't flinch at all. The men suddenly carried him and threw him to the wooden boxes at the side. The boxes got shattered and broken. Even from my distance, I could see Hunter's face filled with blood streaming down. He wasn't moving at all, and I know he's deeply wounded. By the time Roy and Hunter came to the rescue, they were already worn out and heavily wounded.
"HUNTER!" Roy bellowed. He got up angrily and made the men burn to death. He suddenly sobbed harder and harder and fell down on his knees. "My daughter.. My son.. They're heavily wounded and fighting for their lives because I allowed them to join the military.." He sobbed and buried his face in his hands. "They're still so young." He cried harder.
I crawled towards the radio. "Medics please! This is Point P! We need medics immediately!" My voice cracked. "faster..." I said softly and sobbed.
"Roger!"
I went towards Amber while Roy went to Hunter. "Amber.. Wake up now.. We'll go home together, right?" I sobbed and held the sword. I puckered my face and swiftly pulled it out. Tears fell down even more. I cradled her in my arms. "We'll go home together.." I whispered and hummed her a lullaby.
I saw Roy carrying Hunter in his arms. "Hunter's just unconscious, I could feel his heartbeat." He went towards us and sat down. "Who knew that we would already run over the leader on the first few hours?" He sighed.
"I didn't notice it at first." I said. "It's also a good thing that he still didn't show more of his alchemy before you could burn him."
"Yeah, Victoria was able to experience most of it." He said. "She was good at dodging but the reinforcements saw what happened. They said that Victoria was going to your side for reinforcement but she stumbled upon the leader right away. She was able to buy enough time and she dodged all his attacks. Although they said that there was this one attack that she could never dodge and so it hit her. They were even shocked that Victoria and they were still alive."
All four of us came back to the camp. Everyone was also there but heavily wounded and injured.
I was staying inside a tent with Roy, Hunter and Amber. The twins were both lying down on bed, recovering slowly.
"Riza.. Do you think this war is already over?" Roy took my hand.
"I want it to." I replied. "But we did took care of the leader, didn't we? I guess that means it's already over."
He hugged me. "We can go home.." I hugged him back. "We can go home, Riza.."
"Yes, we can." I rubbed his back. He kissed my cheek.
"Sir, this is me, Lt. Breda."
Roy let me go. "Yes, come in." Breda came in.
"General Armstrong asked that we will move out now." he smiled. "Amestris is waiting for their heroes." He smiled bigger.
A/N: oh yeah, I forgot to tell. Everyone is at the north and blizzards are not rare. Roy and Amber trained very well to summon more from their alchemy that enables them to produce a huge wall of fire even at the lowest of temperatures.
"Mommy?" I looked at Amber who was sitting beside me in a carriage. "Are we going home?"
I smiled a little at her. "Yes we are, Amber. You sleep now." I soothed her hair as she leaned her head on my lap.
BOOOM. We all flinched and turned for the direction at our back.
"There's still drachman soldiers alive! All those who could fight, go after them!" Roy shouted. I wanted to stand but he pulled me down. "Riza no. You stay." I couldn't do anything but follow him.
"Dad, how about me?" Hunter asked Roy. We could still hear the continuous explosion from behind.
"You also stay. You're too risky out there, son. You're also heavily injured." He replied. "Stay here." He lifted a hand to his neck, then his eyes widened in fear. "Ah! The pendant! It's not with me! I should go back."
"Roy! Don't! You also stay! Follow your own rules!" I said. "We'll just get another one."
"Riza, I'll have to get that back. There are no other pendants like that anymore, and buying it is the old lady's dying wish. Just losing it carelessly would just make her cry on her grave." He said. I frowned at him. "Riza, I won't be hurt. I'll be back, I promise." He reached out a hand to cup my cheek and leaned in to kiss me intimately. "I'll be back... " he sighed. "I'll be back for you." He then got out of the carriage and ran back to the war place.
Amber, Hunter and I looked out of the carriage and watched Roy's back as he ran. By them time he dissolved from view, a very very loud and huge explosion swallowed the whole place where the war occurred.
My eyes grew. "ROYYY!" I shouted and struggled to get out of the carriage.
"Stop it, Riza! You'll get caught up in it as well! Don't go after him!" It was General Armstrong from the other carriage.
"DAD!" "DADDY!" the twins cried.
"I'll go after him!" Hunter struggled to get up but failed.
"No, don't!" General shouted at us.
"We'll get him back, General Armstrong." I said fiercely as tears ran down my face. "We said we'll go home together."
"COLONEL! Would you be able to bear having to lose more of your kids again?!" She bellowed. I was taken aback. I fearfully looked at my kids who were staring at me in confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows and slumped my back on the side of the carriage and hugged them.
"I can't." I hugged them tighter. "I won't lose you too.." I said.
"But daddy's.." Amber sobbed. "Daddy's there.." I looked back at the place and saw it completely wiped out. I cringed and stared off to nothingness. Hailey... Please guide over your father..
"Leave him, Riza. You might get stuck there too." General said.
We got back to Central without our main leader, Roy..
My twins stuck beside me, holding my hands quietly and sadly.
"How did it go here?" general Armstrong asked those who were left here.
"Ma'am, we also covered it up from here. We took them all out at once!" They said proudly.
General grunted. "Heh. I guess you Central jerks also have something you're good at." She turned around and walked away. "Come on, Hunter." Hunter nodded and followed her.
I went to Roy's office room with the Amber and looked outside the window.
"Daddy's coming back, right, mommy?" She clutched my uniform sadly.
"He is." I sighed. I hope so. I hugger her and stroked her hair.
"Colonel Mustang! Lt. Mustang! Are you here?" Falman busted through the door.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"The leader of the Drachman soldiers... Is still alive and here in Central."
"WHAT?" I almost shouted. "Amber, let's go! Can you still fight?"
"As long as I can use my fire, I'm in." She grinned big.
"Heh, so it's you again, miss pretty sniper lady." The boss smirked at me.
I made my distance and shot him multiple times with my shotgun. I had Havoc back me up and let him throw a light bomb to distract the boss's eyes. "AMBER, NOW!" I shouted.
"ROGER THAT!" She shouted back. Havoc and I backed off a few meters away as Amber mustered all the strength she has and sent a very huge wall of fire towards him.
"Did you get him?!" I asked.
"I hope so." She replied.
"Riza, Amber! Behind you!" Havoc warned. We didn't have time to turn around. We just heard two sniper gunshots going across us. We turned around and saw two men from before, lying dead on the ground. I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced up at the high places. I saw Hunter positioned professionally by the church bell and saluted at him.
We then heard ferocious growls coming from up front. "Havoc! Tell the other citizens to evacuate!" He did as I told and went on ahead.
"GRR... I WILL KILL YOU ALL.. EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.." the boss announced angrily.
"Is this guy immortal or something?" Amber stayed by my side.
The huge man charged at us without wielding his sword. He wrapped his whole body with hard metal and went straight for us. I tried to back off with Amber but he's very fast. Amber continuously sent out fire behind us but it was no use at all.
The man got very close to us and lifted his hands to grab us. "I GOT YOU NOW." But before he could hold us, we saw his metal coating shatter to pieces. Amber and I stopped from our tracks to turn around slowly. The man's shield was completely broken by someone who rode on his back.
"Here I go!" Amber took the chance to burn the man without his shield.
"I'll help too!" The voice was so achingly familiar that I froze and stared at them the whole time.
When the boss fell down to the ground and died completely, Amber and I stared at the person who helped us. He had his hands on his waist looking proud. Our eyes grew as we saw him.
"Did you miss me?" He said.
Tears fell down my eyes as I ran and hugged him tightly. "Roy! You were safe!" I sobbed.
He patted my back and kissed my forehead. "Hailey helped me escape. And.. I told you, we will all go home together, right?"
"Daddy!" Roy let go of me to carry her daughter in his arms. "I knew you were going back for us!" Amber hugged him tightly.
"Dad.." we all became quiet as Hunter came into view. "Dad, I don't really say this that much, but I'm glad you were safe." For the first time, I saw him cry at this age and went to hug his father as well. "I missed you, dad." He sobbed. He's still 7 years old, after all..
Roy cried at that and sat down to hug his twins tightly. "I missed you guys too."
Roy stood up and hugged me again. "Now that the war's over, we can finally live in peace again." He chuckled softly then turned to his twins. "Now kids, what do you say we put you to a real school starting from now?"
"Can we still go back to the military when they need us?" They asked in sync.
"Ahh.. Uh of course." He said. "Just live your life according to your age." He smiled at them.
"That's great!" Amber said cheerfully. "Hunter, let's go back home and play!" She took Hunter's hand and ran back home.
"Ah! Don't wear yourself out! You kids are still injured!" I shouted.
Roy chuckled beside me and wrapped me in his arms. "Don't worry about them, they're stronger than you think." He smiled. "How about we continue our honeymoon that got disrupted 6 years ago?" he smirked. "Wanna go back to the seaside?"
"That's a nice place to have a vacation." I replied. "Welcome back, Roy." He inched his face closer to kiss me intimately as he caressed my cheeks while deepening the kiss.
A/N: I hope this chapter was worth the wait! :) Last chapter on the next, though. :( Thank you for staying with me until the end! Please send your reviews haha :)
