Before Writing the next Chapter, here is a subchapter needed to understand some future issues of the Fic, please enjoy it.
Subchapter 1: Führer's Raise
The office was quiet; even the fall of a pin on the next room would be heard. The inexpressive but calm expression of the head of the state contrasted with the uneasiness and impatience of his hostage. Then the second one broke the silence.
- Until when you think you can held me here? - Roy Mustang said, inpatient
- Until you understand your position in our plans
- Do you really think I'll help you on whatever you or your Homunculi brotherhood want to do?
- You'll realize soon that you don't have any other choice.
- And what a crazy homunculus like you would want to do? Another massacre like the ishbalan one just for feed your bloodlust?
- The ishbalan intervention was something that any other competent general would have ordered. They were threatening us and we responded it.
- But you have to remember that there was one of our side that made the first shot in that war
- It was an accident
- I doubt it was really an accident – Roy thought he had a point – According to you, you need a lot of human souls. Weren't you gathering souls to create a new homunculus?
Then the Führer turned and faced Mustang- you see, you've been part of hour plans since the very beginning.
Roy froze, the fact he has been used like a puppet all this time annoyed and terrified him. Thinking that all his actions were concerted by the master of that Artificial Humans deeply demoralized him, but then he remembered something.
"My goal… yeah my goal; there's no way he knows what I've been planning since the Massacre. This could be my opportunity. How could be more dangerous that lances that can cut everything?"
He regained hope. He knows he could end everything there and starting building a new state with the ones that would want to join him when they know the truth. But first there was a homunculus that had to die.
- Well, if you don't want to give me my liberty, I'll gain it – he said, tensing his gloves.
- Do you really think you could defeat me? – Wrath said, wielding one of his swords.
- I have already killed one of yours. Killing another won't be so difficult.
- You killed the "ultimate lance", but could you be able to kill "the ultimate eye"? – Wrath asked anxiously, he then snatched away his eye patch and showed an eye with an Uroboros mark instead of iris and pupil. Then he rushed against Roy.
He was able to dodge the attack and prepared to fry Wrath, but then he heard him saying "Predictable" and he received a powerful knee hit on his chest; he landed on a near wall.
- What the … - Roy grunted with a painful face.
- With this eye I can predict the next movement you are going to do – Wrath replied, waiting for his opponent to stand up.
- You can read my mind then…
- Not exactly. You'll have to seek how I do it out for yourself … if you survive enough time…
But Roy suddenly snapped his fingers and a big fireball launched against the King, but he easily dodge it and approached Mustang preparing a sword attack. A cut in Roy's uniform showed that he almost dodged the attack.
"Argh! My response is just too slow; I should have kept my body training better. Damn work office! If I get out of this with goodness, I would have to ask that Fullmetal Midget to keep me in shape"
But when he was on these thoughts, Bradley made another attack. That time Roy hadn't had the same luck. A big wound showed on his shoulder.
He touched his shoulder filled with pain when Bradley said – I think I've already showed the difference of our power. So if you want the punishment to finish, just sit and wait.
"I have to think in the way of counter the power of his eye but I need time…" Mustang thought. Then he made a tactical move"
- If you continue this way, you'll surely kill me, but you would have already killed my If you wanted it, or better said if you could.
Wrath raised one of his eyebrows. Mustang continued.
- You said earlier that you were superior to humans. But is very interesting that you need humans for your plans
"He said he don't read minds"
- Humans are just tools, like you use wrenches or sandpaper
- Even you are made of a lot of humans, so you need us more than you really thought.
"Can he see the future? No, that's scientifically impossible.
- Our Father used humans as a tool for making us.
- But I'm important am I.
"His Uroboros is in his eyes, so his power must be related with the vision sense"
- You have an important part in our plans.
- But I see you want to kill me. As wrathful as I you are, I would be death before I could realize it. Well, only if you can kill me.
"What natural ability can help you to predict others movement?"
- I really don't want to kill you. Your survival is essential to my own future.
- So you're afraid of someone.
"Wind sensing, no that's for touch"
- I'm only afraid of my creator.
- The man that controls everything?
"Infrared vision? Maybe, but… to predict the movement's it is needed…"
- Yeah, he is.
- And who is exactly him?
"….Heat vision, yeah! HEAT VISION! That's it. That's how he can predict my movements. The change of body heat when I'm going to make betray my movements; so what I have to do to win is to…"
- I can't give this information to you.
- Well… That really doesn't matter now - Mustang said, grinning.
"I'll have to make impossible to read my movements… I only hope this uniform to be resistant enough"
-……?
- Because… ALL ENDS HERE!
Then, in an incredible bold decision, he ignited his own clothes. Then he ran towards a blade that was on the wall. Wrath tried to follow him, but mustang started to ignite around a lot of fireballs. He then achieved on grabbing the sword and then rushed against the homunculus. Not able to predict where the attack will come. He received a death blow along with a Pyroblast. Führer Bradley fell on the floor with a death injury.
- Well, this is finally over – mustang said – but he suddenly started to feel the horrible pain, product of his actions, and started to roll over the floor to extinct the flames. After recovered, he approached to the Homunculus.
- You finally won this match Mustang – Wrath said, waiting for his death – there was a part of me that really wanted to finish this senseless life; ha! Living as the most powerful men in this country but being controlled by another person sounds very funny. If there are people that can stop him, you are one of these people. I only have one problem on dying here, so please, say goodbye to Samuel for me. – And then, the man who was supposed to had been controlling Amestris for 20 years laid death on the floor.
With his clothes completely burned, Roy Mustang took the Führer's clothes and put them on, and then he headed towards the door. On the other room, he found all the generals still sat down on their respective places. Suddenly, one of the Generals stood up and claimed. -Greetings for the new Führer: "Führer Roy Mustang" and then all the generals stood up and made the military greeting for Mustang.
"The new, Führer, could that really be? It's time for accomplish my dreams? No, something very strange is happening here. Could this … Could this be what they really wanted since the beginning? I really don't know, but I could really make something about this from here" he thought
- Now Everyone Dismissed! This reunion is over – It was his first order as the Führer, then, everyone went off from the room. Since the Ishbalan Massacre he wanted to be the Führer to change the way that country had been being controlled; but he never thought he'd feel that way, so unease.
The corpse of the Death homunculus started to become sand. From it an small amount of some red substance started to emerge. Then it headed towards the Führer's office to a small hole in one of the walls. After moving on a lot of dark passages, it finished on a very big room where a man was standing alone. Then the thing approached to the man and climbed until his hand.
- Well- the man said – everything is going according to the plan, I only need other four ingredients more.
