Rose had been riding the train to the East for a number of days and she was starting to wonder whether or not she was ever going to get to her destination, but she unaware to her was the fact that Lust and Russell had hopped aboard the train into the cargo box to ride to the East. Many things swarmed her mind as she sat in her seat and looked out the window as she watched the mountains and cities pass her by, but as time slipped away, she fell asleep but no one's dreams are sacred in this day of age. As Rose slept, her mind was invaded with the visions of the memories of when her people were trying to get back on their feet without the help of the Military ruffians to the point of her memory of things she had seen in her mind the day she had drifted away in her mind during class. The images became worse as they swirled together like a whirlpool as images of a future unknown yet, images of people lying in the streets.

"Where am I and what is this place and why are these people dead? Oh no, Principal Scar! No, it can't be! Who has done this gruesome murder of these people?"

"I have and you will not escape me for I will seek out those that dare to stop me in my want for revenge against the Elrics and I will have my revenge. These fools dared to stop me, but you will not stop me!"

"NO!" Rose shouted as she awoke from her sleep in a cold sweat as she looked around the train the faces of the other passengers were looking at her, but she soon collapsed in her seat.

"Is there a doctor on board?" called out one of the passengers.

"This woman fainted, is there a doctor aboard?" called out another.

No one answered the call.

As all the passengers huddled over Rose to try and help her, a familiar face got up out of his seat as he made his way towards Rose, calmly and collectively as he made his way through the crowd to address the problem with Rose.
"May I get through to help her?" the mystery figure said.

"Are you a doctor?" asked one of the passengers.

"Are you?" the man asked the passenger.

"No."
"Then let me through to help her."

The man leaned down to take care of Rose as he placed a hand against her face and he found that she had only fainted and as he pulled out a strange stone, a red glow began to form around Rose as she started to awaken.

"What is that in your hand?" asked a passenger.

"A new form of medicine I discovered and I want all of you that saw it to keep it a secret," said the man as he placed the stone back in his pocket.

"Yes sir," was the reply throughout the train, but unbeknownst to the man or the passengers no one saw the cloaked figure move back towards the back of the train.

"Lust, we may have found our old friend Dr. Marcoh," Russell said as he made his way towards Lust in the baggage car.

"Is that so? We should make a visit to the old doctor once we get off the train because he may be the key to stopping Envy once he returns, but his end may be bybrought about by Envy and we can't risk that," Lust said as she got up as the sound of the conductor came over the loud speaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your seats for we are coming into the East Command Headquarters Train Station, please, once again, return to your seats for we will be pulling in shortly," the conductor said as he replaced his microphone.

"That's our stop," Russell and Lust said simultaneously as they gathered their things as the train came to a stop at the train station.

"Will you be okay miss?" the man that helped Rose asked as he helped her from her seat.

"Yes, I don't know what came over me. It must been the dream or more or less my nightmare that caused," Rose said as she and the man moved down the aisle to the platform.

"I didn't catch your name miss."
"My name is Rose and I am from Lior; our town was once under the control of the Military for a long time, but now we are on our feet without the use of the Military. I have come here to find some friends of mine in hopes and finding out what happened to them since an incident a few weeks ago."
"Well, I am here because I am traveling doctor and I go where I am needed."

"Oh, I never asked you of your name," Rose said as the man walked further ahead of her.

"My name is well known and you are likely to hear it around."

"What is your name?"
"Marcoh, Dr. Marcoh, the once proud Crystal Alchemist," Dr. Marcoh answered as he placed his hat upon his head and headed towards the town as he disappeared in the town.

"Dr. Marcoh! You can't be!" Rose said as she chased after him, "you deserted from the Military years ago during the Ishbal Massacre and the last time you were ever seen was in connection with Ed and Al Elric and that was five to six years ago."

"I have made my way of life by traveling from town to town and helping people in need of my services and I have kept my distance from the Military and anyone in connection with them. I learned that lesson years ago and I don't intend to repeat that lesson."
"Then why are you here in the East near the East Military Headquarters?"

"I have my reasons, but they are not related to the Military, if that it is what you are thinking?" Dr. Marcoh started to ask, "Why are you here Mrs. Rose?"

"I have been having these weird dreams and I came here to the East Headquarters in hopes of finding the Elric brothers and talking about my dreams in hopes in finding out whether or not they know anything."
"That is interesting, but it seems that someone remembers you," Marcoh said as he pointed at a member of the Military coming towards Rose.

"Oh no, don't let it be who I think it is," Rose said as she came face to face with Lt. Jean Havoc as he removed his cap in the presence of Rose.

"Mrs. Rose, what a nice surprise to see you once again," Havoc said as he looked Rose up and down, but was soon met by her fist as his eyes got to close to some place personal on Rose.

"Lt. Havoc, I would enjoy seeing you a lot more if you would keep your eyes back in their sockets and off my private areas that are off restriction to you!" Rose said as she punched Havoc across the train platform.

Havoc picked himself up with the help of another member by the name of Lt. Bloch and he was taken back by the actions of Rose even though he hadn't know her that well, but after seeing react the way she had to Havoc, he knew to say out of her way.

"Shall we go to your headquarters Lt. Havoc?" Rose asked as she picked her luggage up and made her way towards the Headquarters.

"Yes, we shall," Havoc said as he healed his bruised pride and his bruised jaw with Bloch snickering behind him.

"Shut up Bloch or you will face the same fate!" Havoc said as he swung at Bloch, but Bloch dodged Havoc's punch and Havoc ended up punching the wall.

"Havoc, come along like a good dog of the military that you are," Rose called out mockingly as Havoc and Bloch followed inches behind Rose to the Headquarters where things were calm and quiet unlike before. Things started to stir once more as they neared the headquarters as the officers stood up to salute Rose as a sign of respect, but there were snickers among the officers as Havoc held his right hand to his face where Rose had socked him earlier.

"Ms. Rose, glad to have you here in Central," Lt. Ross said as she made her way through the ranks.

"Thank you, but do you know of the whereabouts of the Elrics?" Rose asked as she panned the many faces of the officers.

"I am sorry to say that we haven't heard anything, but Colonel Mustang went to Risembool to find out anything about the boys and that is the last thing we have heard about the situation with the Elrics'," Lt. Hawkeye said as she moved towards Rose to answer her question.

"So, no one knows about Ed and Al?

"As far as anyone is concerned, no, but---", Lt. Bloch started to say as an alarm sounded throughout the headquarters.

"What is that?" Rose asked over the sound of the alarm.

"Lt. Hawkeye, Lt. Ross, we have a break in; there are two cloaked figures out on the veranda and they are causing much trouble for our men!" shouted an officer as he came in with sweat on his face.

"Gather all available officers out there and stop them," Lt. Hawkeye shouted as they headed out to the veranda to see the mystery guests.

"It seems that we have faced a little trouble," said one of the cloaked figures.

"It doesn't matter as long as we get to one of the Military members that was associated with the Elric's and find out about Edward and Alphonse and tell them about the threat on their lives by Envy," said the other cloaked figure.

"Let's get through this first."

The two cloak figures stood their ground as the members of the Military pointed their guns at the cloaked figures, but as they drew their guns, the moment seemed to turn into slow motion as the two figures stood back to back as they prepared to attack the officers in order to save their hides, if the time called for it.

"If we die here today, then let's hope they find our note telling them about the threat on the Elric's lives and the lives of those that are in connection with the Elrics' are in trouble as well."
With those final words, the two cloaked figures made their moves towards the front doors of the Military Headquarters where Rose stood inside and as she did, she could see images of what would happen if the Military were to fire on the mystery figures and what the future held ahead for the Military and everyone else. Rose made her move to the front door as time seemed to stand still as it had outside, the Military against their mystery visitors.
