FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST PART X:
Where oh Where is Mustang?
"ALL PASSENGERS CONTINUING FROM CENTRAL PLEASE BOARD NOW! REPEAT: ALL PASSENGERS CONTINUING FROM CENTRAL PLEASE BOARD NOW!"
The train whistle sounded behind us as we got left and headed toward the exit gates into Central.
"So Al, after we're done meeting Mustang, how about we do some searching of our own? This little place might have some interesting stuff to see..."
As we rounded the corner, Al suddenly stopped, his metal jaw hanging open.
"Brother, there may be more to see than you think..."
I looked up...
This city was HUGE! Buildings taller than any of the houses we'd seen back at home were visible miles away, and some of the streets looked as if they'd continue on forever if the cars that inhabited them weren't blocking the way. People bustled about, doing their daily chores and things, as if it was natural to them. But this was the most amazing thing we'd ever seen!
Then it hit me. If this is a huge city, then...
"AGH! We'll NEVER find Mustang! DAMN IT! DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!"
"It's okay, brother, let's just start looking."
Suddenly, a deep voice pierced the mumble among the crowd.
"EDWARD ELRIC! OH, HOW THE SAINTS HAVE PRAISED YOUR HEAVENLY APPEARENCE! YOU'VE FINALLY ARRIVED!"
"Al, what the hell was that?"
My question was soon asked, as a very tall man suddenly stood before us. He shook my hand rather violently, perhaps by accident
"GREETNGS, MR. ELRIC! my name is Major Armstrong, Also known as the STRONGARM ALCHEMIST! I have been sent here by Mustang to make sure that you find your way to his office! We wouldn't want to get LOST, now would we!"
"Uh, sure pal, just take us there, and we'll talk to him, thank you."
"AHA! Such determination from such a little person. It's INVIGORATING!"
Armstrong then proceeded to rip off his shirt and flex his huge muscles, much to the crowd's dismay.
Children started crying, and I was as embarrassed as i could handle it at that point.
"LITTLE? I AM NOT LITTLE! NOW LISTEN YOU! We want to get to Mustang, and we have no time for your...DISPLAYS! PLEASE just take us to Mustang!
Armstrong heartily nodded, and picking up both Al and I on both his shoulders, he started walking through the enormous crowd of people who had gathered.
"Brother? Are all people from the Military like this?"
"I pray not, Al. I really pray not..."
