AN: This one takes place during the omake entitled "Military Party."
Theme #39: Sly Person
"FIGHT!"
A fiery explosion suddenly shook the ground, followed by a shriek of surprise as the red-coated figure narrowly evaded the blaze. Murmurs of awe issued forth from the crowd of onlookers as they all struggled to push their way to the front to get a better view of the fight. However, another blast of fire sent them scrambling to get as far away from the front lines as possible.
Riza shook her head as an exasperated sigh escaped her lips. They only thing Roy and Ed would succeed in accomplishing here was determining who could cause the most damage. Roy was getting too carried away with his attacks, and Ed allowed Roy to goad him with childish remarks about his height.
A quick glance at her teammates was enough to tell her that they were enjoying the spectacle. They were aware of their boss' abilities as an alchemist, but it wasn't often they got the chance to witness them firsthand. Riza hoped that there would no longer be any need to debate who the stronger one was after all this was over.
Riza returned her attention to the fight in time to see Roy nonchalantly remove his ruined glove and replace it with a new one. A look of shock flashed across Ed's face, and Roy's lips curved into a smug grin. The match was over with another snap of his fingers.
Roy stood at attention in the center of the arena with his hand raised in salute at the Führer's approach. Fullmetal was being carried away on a stretcher, shouting obscenities in Roy's direction.
Riza shook her head again when she surveyed the extensive damage caused by Ed and Roy's little sparring match. Clouds of smoke lingered in the air, several craters littered the pavement, and the barriers were broken and strewn all over the ground. Such wreckage would surely take several hours to get rid of, but she wasn't about to help Roy with the task. He created the mess, therefore it was his responsibility to clean it up. Perhaps it would teach him not to go overboard in the future. With a smug grin of her own, Riza discretely slipped away from the scene.
