Chapter 9
They made their way through the streets almost getting hit by a car twice. Finally they reached the military base in Central, but unfortunately the gate in front of the base was locked.
"Open up!" Eric said shaking the gate.
"Shaking it is not going help Eric," Kairi said placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I know," he said, "But Mustang is in there and I know he knows where she is, I just know it." A woman came out of the building, and (thankfully) noticed them standing there. "Hawkeye," he said quietly.
"You're here, good, come with me," Hawkeye said unlocking the gate for them. Eric started to say something to her, but was stopped before he could say anything. They followed Hawkeye to Mustang's office, but he wasn't there at the moment. "He has some things to attend to, but he will be back soon," she said closing the door, and walked down the hall. Hughes, who was walking down the hall in the opposite direction, saw Hawkeye leave. 'It seems the Guardians are here already,' he thought to himself. He walked up to the door and peaked inside. Riku was leaning against the wall (very emo like of him), Sora and Kari were on the couch cuddling, and Eric sprawled out on the other couch staring at the ceiling. "Hello everyone, I see you made it to Central Command ok!"
'Great Hughes,' Eric thought, "Hey Hughes, it's been a while!"
"Is that you Eric?" he asked looking at him closely.
"Yeah, I've changed since you last saw me," he said, "Oh yeah how are things going with Gracia?"
"I'm married to her now, and I have a daughter," he said, "Want to see?"
"Uh ok," Eric but he was wrong in saying that. Hughes took this as an oppertunity to show them his entire collection of photos. (If you have the song Favorite Daughter play it during the next part it ends when Mustang walks in, if not look it up on youtube.) Hughes began showing them picture after picture of his daughter. Eric and Riku startd to get angry after a while and began chaseing him around the room. (and shouting things I will not mention) Mustang walked into his office to see Riku holding Hughes in a head lock and Eric, with Hughes photos in his hand, ready to burn them. "UH... Mustang, its nice to see you again," Eric said giving Hughes back his photos after Riku had let him out of the head lock. Hughes glared at them and stalked out of the room.
"Do I really want to know what just happened?" Mustang asked as he sat down at his desk. Eric walked up to his desk and placed his hands on top trying to control his anger.
"Mustang," he said, "do you know where Aqua is?" Mustang looked confused as to what he was saying.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he said flipping through his papers.
"DAMN IT Roy, tell me where she is!" he screamed at him. The others were shocked at Eric, who was mostly passive, for yelling about Mustang. Kairi got up the courage to walk over to Mustang and tell him what happened.
"I see," he said, "I'm sorry Eric, but I don't know where she is." Eric had managed to cool off by then and was sitting on the couch.
"Thanks Mustang," he said, "but we need to find her as soon as possilbe."
"I know, because there are heartless here in Amestris to," he said not looking up from his notepad.
"H-HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!" Sora exclaimed. Eric walked over to him and whispered something in Sora's ear. "Oh, thanks Eric."
"Don't mention it," he said returning to the couch. Mustang wondered about what Eric told Sora, but didn't ask. After a period of silence Eric stood up and said, "Well we better get going."
"Why?" asked Kairi confused at this whole ordeal.
"We need to find Aqua and Nicole before we talk to the military," he said quiet enough for Mustang not to hear.
"Right, where do you suppose we look?" asked Riku.
"I have no idea, but that's the fun part right?" he asked his eyes lit up at the thought of running around a new world.
"What about Mustang?" asked Sora jerking his head over to where Mustang was sitting.
"He doesn't need to know," Eric replied. "Bye Mustang, it was nice to see you again!" he said loud enough for Mustang to hear. Sora, Riku, and Kairi repeated this and walked out the door. Eric started to wlk towards the door when Mustang stopped him. "What is it now that you want?"
"I just wanted to give you a word of adivce before you leave," he said, "don't say that you're the Guardians. The people here think of the keyblade wielders as monsters who go around destroying the worlds."
"Thank's Roy," he said walking out of the office. Outside the others were waiting for Eric to return, and since Aqua wasn't there Eric was in charge. He was the second oldest and the second in command, and didn't mind being "outranked" by a girl.
"So Leader, what's our plan of finding them?" asked Sora.
"First let's find a place less public to talk," he said heading towards the inn across the street. They walked into the inn and saw that it was empty except for a drowsy receptionist. "Excuse me?" he asked politely. The girl jerked awake and saw Eric leaning on the desk towards her. "I need two rooms that are connected with each other." he said flashing a smile at her.
"Um, sure," she said frantically serching the desk for the book and room keys. "Here you go, rooms 211, and 212."
"Thank you... Amanda," he said reading her name tag. They walked up the stairs to the rooms and gathered in room 211.
"So where do you propose we search first?" asked Kairi sitting down on one of the beds. Eric pulled the table from out of the corner of the room and placed a map of Amesteris on it. They talked about what they would do next for about three hours, and then Sora and Kairi returned to their room (no they are NOT sleeping in the same bed). Riku was sound asleep in his bed, but Eric was wide awake. He stared out the window thinking about all that they had been through in the past year and a half.
'I'm not going to lose her again,' he said looking up at the stars. 'I promise.'
