This final chapter will be fairly short considering it's kinda a look into what's going to happen next (keh, keh, keh). But I'd still like reviews!
Epilogue (One Year Later…again)
-Central Headquarters-
"Sir, I think you should take a look at this." 1st Lt. Hawkeye said holding out a piece of paper, Colonel Mustang glanced up at her from his desk and sighed,
"What is it Lieutenant?"
"It's a report that just came in sir." She answered.
"All right I'll take a look, just set it down there." Mustang said in an off hand tone. Hawkeye glared and insisted that he look at it, knowing not to go against her Mustang agreed. He took the report and started reading it,
"What the hell is this?"
"That was my first thought sir, these marks just started appearing and where ever they've shown up the people in that area have either died suddenly or became uncontrollably violent."
Roy Mustang was about to reply to this when suddenly 2nd Lt. Havoc bust into the office and ran up to the desk, he looked both shocked and terrified as he said,
"Sir, we've got a situation, monster sightings are being reported."
"Monster sightings? This had better not be a joke Havoc." Mustang said annoidly. Havoc shook his head,
"No joke sir, I see one right now…" he pointed to the window just behind the colonels' desk. Mustang spun around and saw a hideous winged monster, which resembled a giant insect, hovering just outside his window.
"What the?" he jumped up, the monster crashed through the window and tried to attack them. Hawkeye whipped out her side arm and opened fire, she hit the monster dead on as usual but it didn't die, it kept coming at them, finally Roy held out his hand and snapped. The monster burst into flames and fell to the ground, it made a horribly screeching noise as it burned and died.
"What was that?" Hawkeye demanded, but she didn't get an answer because both Mustang and Havoc were looking out the window. The sky over Central had grown eerily dark as ominous clouds blocked out the sun, thunder and lighting crashed across the darkened sky.
"This could be a problem…" Mustang glared as several more of the flying monsters started coming out of the clouds, they were surrounding a large tornado like whirlwind of purple clouds.

-Risembool-
"Come on Ed, it's just a check and tune up, honestly you're such a baby."
"I'm sitting here aren't I? Can we just get this over with?" Ed grumbled as Winry check over his right arm, it had been acting up lately but he figured it was nothing. That's when the phone rang, since Winry was busy and Ed was by no means able to get up and Pinako had gone off to do some business, Al came rushing into the room and answered the phone.
"Hello, Rockbell residence." He said, "Oh Col. Mustang! How are you?" he paused again then said, "Ed? Oh, yeah, he's here. You want to speak with him?" Al sighed and looked over at his brother, "The colonel wants to talk to you, he says it's important."
"Ask him what the hell he wants, and why he wants to tell me since I'm not a dog of the military any more." Ed snapped.
"In those exact words?" Al jeered.
"Funny Al, very funny." Ed jeered back; Winry turned a particular bolt in his arm that sent a quick snap of pain through his whole right side, "Ow! Hey!"
Al snickered and asked the colonel what his brother wanted to know, when he got the answer his eyes went very wide, he turned back to his brother and said,
"Brother, I really think you should talk with the colonel."
"Oh fine," Ed grumbled taking the receiver from Al, "What?" he snapped irritatedly. There was a moment of silence as Roy told him what was happening in Central, at first Ed thought it was crazy…that is until a sudden thought crossed his mind.
"Ah hell…" he muttered.
"What is it?" Winry asked.
"The colonel and some of his men are coming here…"
"That's not so bad, is it?" Al asked.
"No that's not the problem, it's why they want to come here." Ed sighed, "He says that monsters are rampaging through Central. He distinctly described them as flying wasps and occasionally other kinds."
"Giant wasps? Are they chimeras?"
"I don't…think so…" Ed muttered.
"What do you think they are then?" Winry asked.
"Demons…"

-Alleyway in Central-
"What in the seven hells was that?"
"Inuyasha, maybe if you calm down we can figure that out." Kagome Higurashi said looking annoyed. She and her friends, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara all stood around in what appeared to be a back alley of some sort.
"What strange buildings." Miroku said, he walked over to a wall and touched it, "They're made all of stone."
"I think we should stay here for the time being, at least till the morning, then we can see where we are." Sango stated, Shippo nodded. Inuyasha though didn't look to enthused about that, he grumbled and cursed until he finally submitted and sat down with all of them.
"Where ever we are…it's stinks of those damn bugs." He hissed crossing his arms. Kagome sighed and replied,
"We'll worry about it in the morning."
-The End-
-Or is it? -
Ok, I know by the end of the series Mustangs a general or something but for the sake of my sanity and the fact that I can't keep his promotions in order…Roy Mustang will forever be a colonel in my eyes. (All the while Edward moves up in the ranks and becomes Fuhrer, whahahahahaha! Risembool Ranger dream…world domination…)
