Roy was cut off by the sound of a small explosion. Windows rattled, the floor shook, and Hughes was thrown off his balance. "What the hell was that?" The taisa ran to the window, looking down the street. There was smoke everywhere, but Mustang saw all he needed to see. A slash of red, the glint of metal. Edward had been attacked.
"Roy?" Hughes's voice was shaky as he found his balance again. He dashed to the window, following Roy's line of vision, looking down the street. Dust floated round the buildings, rubble was still scattering everywhere. A yelp rang out loud and clear from several blocks away. Mustang was frozen to the spot, staring off into the dust and rubble. "Roy? ROY!" Hughes shook his shoulders. "C'mon, lets go!" The colonel blinked and nodded his head at Maes. Making sure his gloves were on tight, and that Hughes was ready, the two took off out the door, and down the crowded hallways.
Hughes watched Roy as they cascaded through the doorway that led outside. "Outta the way!" He snapped impatiently, a hint of fear in his voice. 'Roy...its OK. Don't be afraid for him.' Maes stopped, gripping Roy's arm, holding him back, dragging him to a stop. "What are you doing lieutenant colonel!" Mustang tried to jerk away, straining against the tight grip on his arm. "Roy, are you ready?" "Of course I'm ready! LET GO OF ME!" He was getting angry now. Hughes sighed and released him. The colonel stayed put momentarily, gauging the look on Maes's face before giving chase again, Hughes, right behind him.
"Ed! ED!" Roy ran into the cloud of settling dust. 'Damn damn! Where is he? That foolish kid!' Mustang squinted through the particles, looking for something, anything that would lead him to Edward. A cold, lustful voice was all that greeted him. "Hello colonel. How nice of you to join us." A black haired woman greeted him. She smirked. She stepped closer, pressing herself against Roy. "Hmm. You're very strong aren't you?" Mustang tried to pull away. "Let go of me. Where's FullMetal?" His voice was shaking now. "You needn't worry about him. He'll be well taken care of." Lust trailed a finger down Roy's chest. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Ed shot out of the dust, right hand formed into a metallic blade. He lunged at Lust, aiming for her throat.
She released the colonel, dodging his attack. "Edward!" Roy's relieved voice betrayed the scene before him. He stared at the boy. His jacket was in shreds, there were cuts everywhere, and what seemed to be a very odd puncture wound. "FullMetal are you...?" Roy couldn't speak. Edward slouched over, heaving for breath. "Damn you. Leave us alone!" Edward lunged again at Lust. They both engaged, battling furiously before the colonel's eyes.
A strange laugh came from behind him. It was rather girly, but somehow he new it was no girl that stood behind him. Envy stepped forward, keeping his eyes on the two fighting. He had the most peculiar expression on his face. Like he was bored. Roy tensed his hand preparing to snap his fingers. No way was he going to let this continue. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Envy rolled his head over, staring at Mustang. "Who the hell are you?" Mustang snarled. "Why…I am hell itself." Envy laughed at his own foolish joke.
