------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People filled the busy, snowy streets of Domino City, eager for Christmas shopping. However, not all of them were eager, a large person dressed entirely in armor and a much shorter young man walked gloomily down the sidewalk. "Brother?" the armored person asked, in a suprising tone. "Yeah Al?" the short one replied. "How long are we stuck here for?" the big one asked him. Edward Elric, or FullMetal to his superiors in the Military, sighed "We're here until we dig up evidence that homonculi or a Philosopher's Stone is here. Although I don't see how we're able to do our searching when Winry keeps dragging us along everywhere to shop," he said bitterly.
"But what about that thing we found in the sewers months ago? That bug looking thing?" Al asked, obviously they had come across Weevil's mutated corpse. "That wasn't a homonculi Alphonse, most likely some Chimera experiment gone wrong," Ed said scratching his head. "How late is it, Ed?" Al asked wearily. Edward checked his pocketwatch, "A little bit past nine at night, Alphonse,". "Oh man, why don't we just go back to the room and rest?" Al asked his older, but shorter brother. "Oh YOOHOO! Guys!" Winry called to them a few feet ahead. "That's why, Al...that's why," Ed muttered. "Well we can't abandon Winry to go home, I mean besides it being mean to her...well...you know how strong she's gotten lately," Al said quietly.
Ed stopped and shook in fear, because he had noticed how strong she had become. She actually broke his Auto-Mail arm, and put a lot of dents into Alphonse's armor shell. "Guys! C'mon!" Winry called them again. They sighed and walked on to meet with their blonde friend. They entered a large mall with all kinds of stores and food courts, but Winry had her sights on the hardware stores, so she smiled widely and dragged the Elrics to 'em. "Wow, you don't see all these kinds of tools back home," Winry said gushing over the large display of metal tools. They spent thirty minutes in the store before making a large purchase and leaving it, only to find the mall, relatively quiet.
"Did everybody leave?" Al wondered, looking around. Ed checked his watch, "Not all of them at once, it's not even closing time," he told them. "Then where is everyone?" Winry asked him. They walked along the top floor of the mall, trying to find a trace of anyone. Soon, they could hear voices in the air, and as the followed them, they began to see what caused everyone to disappear. It was a large group of people dressed in black, with distorted faces, about fifty of them surrounding the shoppers. The leader of the group, a young woman, stood out from the others, laughing. "I love malls, nothing but big buffet dinners. We got your fat ones, thin ones, young ones," she counted off on her fingers.
One of the men came forward, "Miss Kairi," he said. She turned and glared at him, "WHAT? Can't you see I'm in the middle of a speech?" she snarled at him. "We smell Slayers," he whispered. This made her smile wickedly, "Really?" she asked him. He nodded and she looked over the crowd. "Time for a little hide and seek, eh?" she giggled walking past the shoppers. On the floor above, Ed and Al were watching and hearing what was going on. "Brother? What are they?" he asked, meaning the creatures below. Ed shrugged, but Winry gave the answer. "Vampires,"she whispered. Alphonse and Ed looked at her in surprise, "How do you know that, Winry?" Al asked her. She shook her head, "I just do, Alphonse. Besides it doesn't matter how I know, what matters is that we help those people," she said standing up.
Kairi and her vampires searched the group, but came up with nothing. Kairi was furious, "I THOUGHT YOU SAID SLAYERS WERE HERE!" she screeched at her informant. "There's one right here, and she's got backup," a firm, yet smug voice rang out. They turned to see a young woman in black with blonde hair and violet (?) eyes. Alongside herwere, a tall, dark man in black, and a man with a bit of a weathered look on his face, and a shotgun in his hands. "Mai Valentine," Kairi cursed. "Hiya Kairi, been a few weeks since I lastfought ya," Mai said, flicking her wrists. Out of her coat sleeves, two wooden stakes popped out. "Mai, you sure you wanna handle her? Angel could take while we mop of the others," the man with the shotgun offered. "Wes, thanks for worryin' hon, but you guys help them," she nodded to the group of frightened shoppers. She turned to the dark man beside her, "Angel, put your game face on, would you?" she asked sweetly.
He rolled his eyes then vamped out, causing more people to panic. Ed and Al took this opportunity to sneak to the lower level to help fight. "Brother, what should we do?" Al asked, a little nervous at the moment. "Just watch, Al, things are about to get a little hectic here," he said grinning. He took off his red jacket and his gloves, revealing his metal arm and hand. "Hey! Ugly!" he called out, causing the vampires, the Slayer's team and Kairi to turn to him. He flipped the nearest vamp the bird and stuck his tongue out. "Your four! Take care of them!" Kairi ordered. Alphonse stepped in front of his brother as the four night creatures advanced on them. "LET'S ROCK!" Mai yelled. Soon all the vampires came running to either her group or to Ed and AL.
Wesley went to the sides and blasted away any of the vamps going after the civilians with the shotgun. They didn't stay down for good, but they stayed down long enough for them to get away. Angel kept an eye on Mai, in case she needed help while he was fighting off his kin. Above, Winry watched as the battle went on. She saw the vampires explode into dust and bones whenWesley or Angelkilled them. She had seen these kind of battles before, not in real life, but in her dreams. "Hey, girly," a low voice greeted her. She jumped, startled and saw one of the vampires coming right towards her. She froze at the sight of him, but when he reached for her, she unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks that repelled him, as well as surprising them both. The last punch sent him flying into a table in the food court, breaking it into pieces.

"Al! Why won't these things stay down!" Ed asked over the noise of the fighting. "I don't know! We've nevered learned about this things before!" his brother yelled back. Angel ran over to them and staked two of the vamps they were fighting. "Here," he said tossing Al and Ed each a stake. "Aim for the heart, and stake 'em," he instructed. They nodded and did as they were told, and soon the rest of the vampires were dust. They turned and raised their stakes at Angel. "Look, kid I just saved both of your lives, trust me, I may be a vamp, but I'm not with them!" he said coldly.

Winry watched as the vampire began to pick himself up from the broken pieces of the wooden food court table. She ran to him and planted her boot on his chest, "You're not leaving," she hissed as she bent down to pick up a sharp wood piece. Somehow she knew what she had to do, so before the vavmpire could do anything, she plunged the wood into it's heart and it turned into dust and bones. "What the hell?" she asked looking at the dust and at herself. "Congratulations, Slayer, first kill," a gentle, but stern voice greeted her. She looked to the side to see someone in white robes, complete with a white half-mask. All she could see were piercing blue eyes and dark skin surrounding them. "Slayer?" she asked the person. "Yes, one of the chosen to slay the demons and vampires. Your destiny is laid out before you, and you cannot escape it," the white figure replied.
-Below-
All the vamps were dusted, save for Kairi, who looked like she wasn't tired at all. Mai on the other hand, looked banged up and bloody. "Still need to improve, Slayer," Kairi sneered, taking hold of Mai by the throat. "MAI!" Wesley shouted, aiming his shotgun at the vampiress. Kairi held Mai close to her body, "Try and shoot, human. Good chance you'll kill her," she challenged. "Let her go!" a new voice called to Kairi. Everyone turned to face the white robe figure with Winry standing by the side. "Just how many of you people are there!" Kairi screeched. "Enough," the figure replied, walking towards her. Kairi looked around and calculated her chances. "Fine, but don't get comfortable," she said coldly, throwing Mai to the floor. "Wes! Take the shot!" Mai coughed out. Wesley aimed the shotgun again, but before he could fire, Kairi brought her wings out of her back and flew off.
"Winry, who is that?" Edward asked, pointing to the white figure next to her. "She's my Watcher," Mai said weakly, nodding the robed one. "Mine too," Winry added. "Huh? Watcher? Someone mind letting us in on what's going on and WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!" he screamed pointing to the battle scene. "First off, I shall tell you who I am, and then what I do," the figure said quietly. She reached up and pulled away the half-mask and pulled down her hood. "My name is Ishizu Ishtar, and I am on the Watcher's Council for the Vampire Slayers," Ishizu began.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kilnorc: WOW! Not only is there another Robed figure in Domino, but it's Ishizu and she's on the freakin' Watcher's Council! Then who is the red robed person? What purpose does he serve? Is he someone they know? Winry's discovered she's a Slayer...also she's made her first kill. And looks like Mai's been a Slayer for awhile now and she's teamed up with Angel and the Fang Gang...Watcha think about all this mystery? let me know in reviews!
