Yet again, like always; this fast update is to all my lovely readers and reviewers! I kind of suck at writing fighting-scenes in English, so please don't hate me if this one turned out crappy .

Anyway, onto the chapter!

I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except from Angel, Christian, Alexander and James.

Chapter 12

Fighting

Angel didn't get much time to think before a lot of things had happened. But she got the two facts quickly enough.

Fact one; the Briggs soldiers seemed to think Edward and Alphonse were on the same team as the monster, since they talked to it.

Fact two; they all got ready to fire their guns at it, and that wouldn't do much good.

"No, wait! It won't help much!" she screamed to the soldiers, trying to get them from pull the trigger on their guns. Most of the people in the room sent the girl a weird stare as they pulled the trigger, only for the bullets to nothing good but leave the barrel.

They hit the man in the back, but he didn't even seem to notice them.

Angel muttered something about stupid grown-ups before she bound a rope to two of the knives she hid on the inside of her jacket. Then she threw them both on each side of the monster, making the rope hit him of all power in the middle of his back. The effect was about the same as with the bullets. The rope and the knives felt useless to the ground while the monster walked toward the lift that lead to the upper floors.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Alexander shouted angry as the five teens and the cat ran up the stairs leading to the upper floor.

"You have one guess, Alexander," Angel yelled back at him while they ran. She knew it would be impossible for him to guess it, but she didn't really have the time to explain. After all, the girl was busy dragging out knives from all her hidden places around her clothes.

She could feel the boys stare at her as she got two knives up from her shoes, holding them ready to fight.

Once they reached the next floor, all they could see was a cloud of smoke covering the entire place, and the General and other soldiers standing on the half-floor over them, the woman pointing a huge gun on the middle of the room.

The smoke disappeared, leaving the huge monster of a man in vision.

The five teens could hear the shock in the soldiers' voice when they told their boss that the thing was just like it had been before they shoot it. They could also only watch as the Briggs-soldiers arrived with a tank, ready to remove the monster once and for all.

They fired at his face, hitting with full speed once the bullet left the long barrel.

Some of the shouted that they had made it, but that was before they could see the monster's face get all normal again.

The General screamed at them to fire yet another shot, this one hitting the monster in his stomach. He didn't even make a sound as he pulled it out and threw it behind him, almost hitting a soldier standing in the stair.

More tanks fired at it, all with the same results as all the other times. No one able to hurt the monster at all.

"Geez! You guys don't listen at all, do you?! I told you bullets won't work!" Angel hissed as the five of them made their way toward the stair. This was one of the only times she had been really pissed. Not as pissed as when the military ruined her chances to get Edward and Winry together, but almost as pissed.

The monster lifted up a piece of stone and metal lying on the ground in front of him and threw it behind him like he had done with some many other things already. It was about to hit yet another couple of soldiers when Edward clapped his hands together and got in front of them, creating a huge hand that protected them from the flying thing.

Angel, Christian and Alexander made their way over to the General while the two brothers came closely after them.

"It's no use, General! That thing won't stay dead no matter how many times you kill it!" Edward told the General when they got close enough.

"Just stop shooting it! You can't kill that thing!" Angel said calmly – even if she was pissed off, she hid it behind a mask of calmness. Edward and Alphonse sent her a weird look, almost like they were thinking about which side she belonged at.

"How do you know so much about it?! Explain yourself!" the General told the teens coldly. Edward and Alphonse stayed silence, but Angel opened her mouth yet again.

"Do you believe what I told you when I first came here? That's why I know so much about it!" the soldiers sent her a wide-eyed look, before they turned away again. Even more stares from the two brothers.

The General looked at the girl for a second, before she turned her head toward Edward and Alphonse.

"I need answers from you two, and I need them now! Answer any questions you can. And tell the truth! One lie and I will cut you down! Are you two Drachma's spies?!"

"No, we're not!"

"Is that thing a spy?"

"I don't think so!" Nope, he's not a spy, not even for the Homunculi. Angel thought as she listened to the conversation between Edward and the General.

"Does it know who you two are?"

"I don't think it does." Heh, what had you excepted when it hasn't talked to anyone in a hundredth of years or so?

"What is that thing?"

". . . I can't answer that!" A homunculus.

"Whose orders is it obeying?"

"I can't answer that!" Father and Pride. Angel knew all the right answers, but she also knew the danger of telling anyone about them. No one was supposed to know all of those yet. Edward and Alphonse didn't even know who Pride was.

After that, the girl lost track of the conversation for a while. She also realized that she had taken both Christian and Alexander's hands again, like a scared child in the middle of the forest.

"Eritsu! Jason! Elkora! If it tries to grab the tanks, attack it's hands!" Angel got dragged out of her thoughts by the sound of the voice talking to them. The two boys who hands she still held, dragged her up in the stairs. There, they had a good aim at the entry to the lift, where they were going to get the monster inside.

Three tanks attacked the homunculus at the same time, pushing it closer and closer to the lift. But soon it got a hold on the nearest tank, and started to lift it up in the air.

Angel got a hold on her hidden knives that rested on the inside of her sleeves – when had she put the back after she got them out last time anyway? The girl couldn't remember – and tossed them into the monster's arm, closely followed by a couple of bullets.

When she turned her head, she could see both Alexander and Christian hold a gun each, pointing it at the huge man.

The Homunculus started to let go of the tank, and fall back into the lift. The General screamed at Miles to push the button that made the lift go up.

Angel and the two boys just got to see the lift close with the huge man inside, before they started to run up the rest of the stairs.

Once they reached the next floor and opened the door leading into the main corridor, they could hear the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. A look inside told them that they had defeated the homunculus for this time. But Angel knew this wouldn't be the last they saw of him.

A/N: Hope you liked it^^

I just have a little question to my readers for the next chapter; should Angel tell Edward and Alphonse where she is from?
