FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST PART XII:

THE BLUE RIBBON ARMY

Al and I walked around the city for hours, searching high and low for the Blue Ribbon Army. Who knew that a bunch of old guys could move so fast?

"Hey Al, before i came back in and grabbed you, did Mustang say anything else?"

"Well, he said that they did find out one other thing about the Army. All of their targets...were women and little girls."

"What! This makes no sense at all...They want to take over the city, yet they don't attack the main people who RUN it, which are mainly men. This just keeps getting weirder and weirder..."

"EEEEEYAAAHHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

A scream suddenly pierced the air. It came from the street in front of us. I looked at Al, then looked back at the crossroads.

"COME BACK HERE!"

A group of old men appeared from the left side of the street, each carrying a sack that appeared to have clothing... and the woman behind them was chasing them, only wearing bathrobes...

Then it hit me...

"Wait a minute, Al! They aren't War vets! They're PERVERTS! Mustang is sending us after a bunch of PANTIE THIEVES! "

"Wh...What!"

"C'MON! Don't just stand around! AFTER THEM!"

I bolted off towards the old guys, and as they saw me heading towards them, they started running as fast as they could, undergarments flying out of the holes in their bags.

"STOP RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, YOU PEDDLERS!"

I clapped my hands together, placing them on the ground in front of me. Cracks started traveling towards the clothing thieves, throwing them to the ground on both sides, bags flying into the air.

The woman behind us grabbed one of the bags with her clothes in it, and put sweats on over her bathrobe.

I walked over to the old guys, all of them sprawled against the ground.

"So, you thought you'd help yourselves to some fun stuff huh? Guess I'd better teach you a LESSON"

I began to clap my hands, when suddenly...

"STOP RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, ALCHEMIST, OR WE'LL SHOOT YOU WHERE YOU STAND, AND THE WOMAN TOO!"

5 more men appeared from the rooftops of the buildings, 3 of them with guns all pointed at me. The other 2, obviously the alchemists of the group, hopped down near the other guys.

"We heard about you. You're that Elric kid who was sent after us. However, if you know what's good for you, you're gonna stop right where you are, or else we kill you...AND the woman..."
