The battle between Ryquar and Scar was intense as their powers over earth and destruction were evenly matched. As their battle raged on, Scar was analyzing Ryquar's fighting style, trying to find an opening for him to strike. Soon he noticed an opening and attempted to go for it. However before Scar could follow through with his attack, Alex Armstrong attempted to strike Scar with the alchemy that has claimed to be passed down through generations and as Scar dodge the attack Ryquar shouted in rage: "I Did Not Ask for you assistance Human!" Alex promptly replied: "If you wish to take this person in then you are going to accept my assistance, Dragon Emperor. It's very clear that one person, Inklet or human, is clearly not enough to take him on." Ryquar growled in annoyance, but then stated: "Just don't get in my way nor hold me back."
As the two fought Scar, Riza Hawkeye rushed over to Edward and Alphonse to provide them protection. "Lieutenant Hawkeye, who is that guy and why is he after us?" Asked Edward. "We have been calling him Scar and he's responsible for the deaths of many state alchemists and state sorcerers, including Nina. However, we don't know his motivations." Stated Riza. "You know Human, I have to say I noticed something about your power and I think you're a hypocrite for using alchemy for God's will against those you deem to death." Proclaimed Ryquar. "So you have noticed it too?" Asked Alex. "Of course I Have. I may not be able to use Alchemy, but that doesn't mean that I am completely foreign to it." Stated Ryquar. That when Edward realized how Scar was able to destroy objects easily."The three stages of Alchemy are analyzing deconstruction and reconstruction. This guy stops at the second stage." Edward stated under his breath.
"So, what are your true motives for attacking those with State Certification then human? Also, think twice before giving me the religious bullcrap." Stated Ryquar as he used his sorcery to attack Scar along with Armstrong's alchemy. Scar was barely able to dodge their attack, but one of the stone objects that were fired at him knocked off his sunglasses, revealing his crimson eyes. With some horrible flashbacks of the Ishvalan Civil War, Alex stated: "Y-your an Ishvalan!" However, Ryquar chuckled at this as he said: "That explains your motives. You claim yourself as an agent of your god to cover up your own thirst of vengeance. Pathetic." Scar was infuriated by Ryquar's remark, but before Scar could speak, Ryquar stated: "If you plan to lecture me on the idea of god, you'll be wasting your breath. I understand that angels, demons, and other mythical beings can exist due to the Inklet race, but that doesn't support the idea that a great divine being you title as a god can exist in our world. Even with our power over sorcery, we are limited and made as mortals. The concept of god is only an ideal for fools and the desperate."
'No wonder why Tech hates his half brother. His arrogance is worse than my ego.' Edward thought to himself. Suddenly more soldiers head over the battle scene, surrounding Scar and leaving him no means of escape. "Best to surrender human. It would be the optimal choice for you." Stated Ryquar as he crossed his arms. However, Scar then placed his hand onto the ground and destroyed the ground beneath him, allowing him to escape through the sewer system. 'That was unexpected...' Ryquar thought to himself with some annoyance.
