All is Fair in Love and War

Part Three

The two solders of the military walked out of the military base still hand in hand with smiles on their faces. When they exited the door and got in the car they both burst into fits of laughter.

Once done they leaned on each other's shoulders to catch their breath.

"Did you see the look on their faces?" Edward asked cracking another smile.

"Priceless. Thank you Edward for doing this, you didn't have."

"I only do things for people I like alot."

This brought a smile to Hawkeye's face.

They drove back to Hawkeye's apartment to pack for their weekend trip.

When that was complete, they hopped on a train and took off to somewhere far away.

"Beautiful view." Hawkeye said looking out the window of the train.

"Yes it is."

They were on a bridge passing a large lake, the sun was putting a reflection on the water making it look like glass. The wind was blowing softly into the train. The weather was perfect for a vacation.

Riza had put her hair down letting it flow on and around her shoulders, she put her head out the window letting it blow through her hair and loosening it up. She had a beautiful smile on her face.

Edward had never seen her look so happy, and he was glad that she was. So he put his head out the window smiling at her when she turned to look at him. Both their eyes were shining brightly.

Two hours later, Hawkeye was lying on Edward's lap sleeping, while he was gently caressing her hair.

Her hair was still down and she had also changed cloths, she was now wearing jeans that fit her body perfectly and soft light blue shirt that showed off some of her stomach.

Edward wondered if she was still packing a gun somewhere on her body. He had also changed into black jeans that fit him perfectly and a black tank top that was un-tucked and that showed of his auto-mail arm.

All of a sudden the train gave a sudden harsh jerk sending everyone that had previously been in their seats to the floor. The brakes gave a loud screech pulling the train to a dead stop.

Hawkeye woke up startled, and Edward helped her up, while she rubbed her forehead where a bruise was already forming.

"Are you alright?"

She nodded her head, "Yes it's just a bruise, I'll be okay; do you know what's going on?" She asked.

"I don't know, we just stopped." Edward said and looked out the train window. "I can't see anything, its too damn dark." Edward said and closed the window. "I'll go check it out."

"I'll go as well." She said and pulled out a gun from her ankle.

"I knew you had one somewhere on you."

Hawkeye just smiled a mischievous look in her eyes.

They were about to walk to the door, when it slammed open and three large men came squeezing in through the small door way. Once through they slammed the door shut.

One man was guarding the door the other two started to search every passenger before stopping at Edward and Hawkeye. Hawkeye hid her gun, while Edward stood in front of her blocking the man from touching her.

This surprised the man, because he was nearly 2 feet taller than Edward and had very large arms and a bulging chest, the downside to this was that he had a lot of hair on his body.

"You gonna protect her little man?"

"Don't call me little and yes I am do you have a problem with that fat man?"

The man looked like he had blown a blood vessel; he threw the first punch, aiming for Edward's head.

Edward blocked the punch with his auto-mail arm, he held on to the man's fist gripping it very tightly. The man used his other hand to try and remove Edward's, but failing miserably, Edward was quicker. Edward snapped the mans wrist, twisting it until the bone broke out of the skin and the man screamed bloody murder and fell to his knee, gasping and almost crying in pain.

Edward sent a kick to the man's chest making him fall to his back and sliding 4 feet away.

The second man seeing his partner being man-handled, he came over to Edward, this man also the same height and muscled the same as the man that was down on the floor, moaning pitifully.

"You'll regret that runt." He got out a 12-inch k-bar from a holster behind his back; the blade was very sharp and looked equally deadly.

Edward got ready for the assault, but didn't have to when a shot rang in his ears. He turned to find Hawkeye with gun withdrawn from its hiding place behind her back.

She had shot the man's leg, but this had not fazed the burly man and he continued toward them.

"Don't make me kill you, you goddamn idiot."

He gave a viscous smile at Hawkeye, "I'm going to enjoy slicing you apart, but before you die I'm going to have a lot of fun with you my beuty, I've always liked when a woman opens her mouth to me."

Edward transmuted his arm into a blade about to go for the man and make him pay for threatening his "woman."

But Hawkeye decided to take matters into her own hands; she aimed her gun high, aiming for his head.

"No ones will touch me." She pulled the trigger sending a bullet through the man's head, he fell back; blood and parts of his head and brain had come off and were coming out of the wound, as his back hit the floor.

"Damn I didn't want to do that." Hawkeye said a little shocked at herself for killing the man.

"You didn't have any other choice."

Edward came toward to the man guarding the door, the man had a stunned look on his face. Edward knew he probably had no idea what to do if this was to occur.

Edward ran toward him, slamming his fist into the man's stomach, putting him to his knees, giving a loud moan as he fell.

He gripped the man's shirt pulling his face up to look at him.

"Why are you people here?"

"We were just told that there were two military personal on this train, we planned the rest."

"Why?"

" . . . ." The man kept silent.

"I asked why?" Edward said raising his voice, and slamming the man's back into the door.

"We thought we could get ransom off of you two."

"Who's the leader?"

"He's at the head of the train, I don't know what he's doing, I swear."

Satisfied with the man's replies, Edward knocked the man unconscious letting him fall to his side.

"You should stay here Riza."

"No way am I staying here, I'm coming with you."

"Okay."

It took them 20 minutes to get to the front of the train, having to fight every man that came at them.

When they got there, the Boss was already ready and waiting for them. He had a ridicules grin plastered on his face while looking at Edward.

"So you're the famous Full Metal Alchemist, pleased to make your acquaintance."
