Miralover: This is my first full metal alchemist fanfic. Sorry if I don't get the personalities right at first (especially Roy's).
Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist.
Ed and Al were seated in a train heading to their next mission will content expressions on their faces. Well, Ed was staring out the window groaning loudly while, Al sat watching the other passengers on the train.
"Why are we going here again?" questioned Ed from his seat in the train.
"Brother we have an important mission to do," replied Al.
"What exactly do we have to do there?" asked Ed.
"If you were paying attention, you would have known what it was. Anyway, we have to check out a city that is close by. There have been reports of people using Alchemy there and making a lot of racket, causing the citizens to report to the police," answered Al.
"And it's our problem because?" asked Ed.
"Brother you're hopeless," replied Al.
"Whatever. So we just check out the city and see if it's okay and then we go back and report it to colonel?" replied Ed.
"Yup," answered Al.
The train came to a stop and people began to step off. Ed and Al made their way off the train with Ed shoving people out of the way and Al calling out excuse me. When they were out of the train station, they noticed that Colonel Mustang was waiting outside looking as if he was waiting for them to arrive.
"What is he doing here?" Ed yelled, making people stare at him.
"Now, now, that's not the way you should be greeting your boss," answered Roy with a smirk on his face.
"You didn't answer my question!" retorted Ed with a pissed off look on his face.
"Brother, calm down. You're making a scene," whispered Al.
"I'll answer all your questions if you follow me," Roy said as he began walking off into the city with huge crowds of people.
"Hey! Wait up!" yelled Ed as ran after Mustang with Al right behind him.
Roy was weaving in and out of the crowd as he went to his unknown destination. Ed and Al were having a difficult time keeping up with him, but managed to keep in with sight. After about five minutes of going through the busy crowd, they approached a hotel. It looked old and battered, since the paint was peeling off and rats were lined outside beside a garbage can that had fallen over. Roy motioned them to follow him inside and went in with looking back. Ed had a disgusted look on his face as he went inside. If Al could show expression on his face he would have look just like Ed. When they entered inside, Ed and Al's mouth fell open at the sight of the hotel. It was a very luxurious with its chandelier and fine carpet. The stairs were a golden color and the front desk looked like it was made out marble. Roy walked up to the front desk and ordered a room. He took the key from the receptionist and went up the stairs. Ed and Al followed without a single word as they stopped in front of a door that the number 79 on it.
"Here we are," said Mustang as he unlocked the door and stepped inside.
The room contained a small living room that connected to a kitchen. There was a small hallway next to the kitchen that contained four doors. Roy went down the hallway and started to look into each room to see what it had. He found a bathroom and three bedrooms. In the last bedroom at the end of the hall had a separate bathroom inside and the bed was twice the size.
"This room is mine. Anyone who goes in will die. Understood?" Roy said.
Ed and Al just nodded their heads and began looking into the other rooms. Ed picked the room closest to the kitchen and Al was next door to him. After they finished picking their rooms, they sat in the living and Roy began his explanation.
"It seems that I sent you two on the wrong mission," Roy began.
"What?" yelled Ed.
"Brother, let him finish and then you can ask questions," Al interrupted.
"Anyway, so I was sent to get you since I had nothing important scheduled. There was suppose to be replacements, but they couldn't make it. So you'll still have to do this mission, but I was instructed to come along with you to make sure you don't mess anything up," Roy explained.
"Like I would mess anything up," Ed mumbled.
"So when do we start?" asked Al.
"Today or tomorrow, you choose," Roy answered.
"Today!" exclaimed Ed.
"Today it is," Roy replied as he got up and headed toward to door.
As they exited the hotel, they noticed that it was beginning to get dark. A few stars could already be seen in the night sky as they walked around the town. As the edged toward the end of the town they felt the ground quake beneath their feet and light shoot up the sky. It seemed to be coming from a large warehouse that looked as if it could store heavy loads of cargo. They approached the entrance with caution making sure that there weren't any guards around.
"That was way too easy," thought Mustang.
"All right, let's go! Hurry up old man," Ed whispered as he took the front and burst through the front door.
Roy tried to stop Ed, but it was too late. Ed kicked the door open with his right foot and the door came crashing through the building with a loud crack. When they entered inside, they couldn't believe their eyes. They appeared to be on the second floor of the warehouse and alchemy circles were everywhere. They peeked down below and found workers making weapons using alchemy. There were giant bombs and grenades lined up in rows and placed in boxes. The ground shook again, making Ed land on his but.
"OWWWWWWWW!" he yelled in frustration.
One of the workers noticed them and yelled "Intruders! Get rid of them!" All of the workers and guards ran toward their position. Al ran down the stairs and started using alchemy using the already drawn circles on the floor. Ed managed to dodge one of the guards' attacks and jabbed him in the face. The guy fell forward onto the ground and another one took his place. Mustang was busy with three guards that had cornered him against the railing.
"We got you now, shorty!" yelled one of the guards as he placed his hands at the edge of a circle.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT HE CAN'T KICK YOUR BUT ANYDAY OF THE WEEK!" yelled Ed as he charged toward the guy.
"Full Metal, it's a trap!" Roy yelled as he raced toward Ed.
Ed just ignored Mustang and continued to charge right onto the alchemy circle. Roy managed to push Ed out of the way as the guard launched his attack. Roy got blown away from the attack and fell down toward the first floor of the warehouse. Ed watched in shock as Mustang's body hit the ground and landed in about four of the circles. As tried desperately to get up, four guards surround him and placed their hands on one of the four circles.
"COLONEL!" Ed yelled as he watched the guards launched their attacks on Roy.
A bright blue light surrounded Roy as he got swallowed up in the attack. Ed had to cover his ears as he heard Mustang scream in pain. Once the attack was over, they saw Roy lying unconscious covered in blood. The ground quaked once more and sent parts of the building crashing down. The guards ran out of the warehouse without a second thought. Al and Ed ran to Roy and Al picked him up and they both managed to run out of there without the having the building crashing on top of them. They ran back to the hotel as fast has there legs could carry them. When the entered the room, Al placed Roy on the couch and Ed began to dress his wounds. After he was Al placed Roy on his bed and shut the door behind him. They both retired to bed, since they had a very stressful day.
