I Do Not Own Fullmetal Alchemist
Ed was prepared for the attack. He had turned his automail arm into a knife. Ed shoved Orianne behind him and tried to stab the boy. The boy used Ed's arm and bounced off of it, expecting his attack. He flipped over back onto the ground, joining the girl.
They were as Maes Hughes described. The girl had grey eyes and the boy had dark eyes. Orianne stared at them, trying to remember where she had seen them before.
"H-how did you do that?" Ed yelled.
Both of them shrugged circling Ed and Orianne slowly. Orianne looked between the two dark figures, trying to remember something.
"So you're better?" The boy directed his question at Orianne.
She gave him an intense look.
He continued, "This will make things more difficult. We're not usually allowed to talk when doing this, but since you're our target Phoenix, it's okay. You remember me?"
Ed looked at Orianne. "You know these people?"
Orianne shook her head no. At the same time the girl and boy charged at them from the front and back of Ed. The girl tackled Orianne to the ground while the boy dealt with Ed. Orianne fought against the girl, getting a good look at her grey eyes. As they wrestled Orianne recalled something.
"If you protect me I'll let you do tests on me—inject me with whatever you want. Just make sure that I forget."
"Alright. If you insist," Liam Hans answered. "This is the oddest thing anyone has asked me."
Orianne said, "My situation is odd."
"We'll need to come up with an alias for you."
"I'm one step ahead, doctor. Orianne Hart."
She blinked. The girl was watching her in the moment of her recollection.
"Remember something, did you?" The girl picked her up and ran her against the wall. "Remember or not we still have orders to kill you."
Orianne reached behind her and fingered the gun. Almost as fast as the boy and girl she pulled it out and aimed it at the girl's head. The girl was taken by surprise. But then she giggled.
"Do you know how to use it?"
Orianne glanced at the trigger. She pushed it forward aiming it at the girl's head. Then she tried hitting the girl in the stomach. The girl releases some of her grip on Orianne. Orianne slid away from the wall and kicked the girl in the knee.
She fell but swiped at the ground, trying to get Orianne. Orianne jumped over her leg and picked her up by her waist. She threw the girl over into some equipment. Orianne stared at herself, surprised she did that. Holding the gun she aimed it at Ed and the boy.
Ed was losing by quite a bit. Every time he tried to use alchemy the boy would dodge it and retreat back to the beams above them. The boy was too fast for Ed to lock onto him using alchemy. Ed had to rely on his fighting skills. His were inferior to the boy's.
The boy swiped at Ed's feet and kicked him. Ed tried his best to dodge the blows. But many hit him. Finally Ed tried to hit the boy. Using his automail arm, he aimed for the boy's leg.
The boy grabbed his arm and in a flash dug his finger in a particular spot in his arm. Ed's arm shattered. The metal fell to the ground leaving wires dangling where Ed's automail should have been. It took Ed a minute to register his automail arm was totaled by a boy in a black suit.
Orianne fired the gun, purposefully missing the boy. The boy turned to look at Orianne.
"Oh, now Phoenix remembers how to shoot a gun. Are you still as sharp a shooter as you used to be?"
As the boy took off to find his accomplice Orianne shot another bullet, grazing the boy's left shoulder. He hid in equipment on the other side of the room. Orianne and Ed took cover behind crates. Both of them were breathing heavily.
"Phoenix?" Ed started. "Is that your real name?"
Orianne shrugged. She pointed to Ed's right arm.
"Long story short, Al and I did something we shouldn't have and that's why Al doesn't have a body in his armor and I have an automail arm and leg."
"If you want to play with guns, that's fine with us!" The boy yelled across the room.
Ed sneaked a peak around to get a look at their attackers when he was greeted with a round of bullets. He felt one breezed past his cheek less than an inch away. He muttered a swear. Orianne kicked Ed, sending him into the line of fire.
"Why? This is cruel!" Ed screamed while running from the line of fire.
Orianne fired her share of bullets at the boy and girl. They stopped firing and Ed got back under cover. Orianne saw an oil drum sitting across the room near where the boy and girl were hidden. She fired her bullets there, making an explosion. It shook the building. The girl screamed.
Ed and Orianne waiting to see what would happen. The boy came out and jumped from the ground to the rail, holding the girl. Her leg was bleeding. Before he vanished the boy spoke to them.
"We may have failed, but this isn't over."
