Life after the Military
Retired Colonel Roy Mustang was sitting at home in his large over stuffed leather chair staring at his right hand which usually had his traditional white glove on it. Memories of that day came flooding back to him...
"I'm going to enjoy killing the famous Flame Alchemist." Said another unknown lightening alchemist, the mysterious lightening alchemist then unleashed a large lightening attack by Roy's hand. The energy from the attack melted his glove, and the alchemy symbol that was on his glove was now on the back of his hand, he snapped and flames came out of nowhere. He could snap without gloves, some of the material melted into his hand so he could create the spark and the symbol was on the back of his hand to change the oxygen level in the air. Riza all of a sudden jumped in front of him and shot at the lightening alchemist, one shot hit him and slowed him down enough for Roy to snap and fry him.
"Thanks Riza." Roy said getting up
"Your welcome." Said Riza as she went over to Roy "What happened to your hand?"
"I don't know, the attack must have melted my glove but the symbol didn't melt and it is now somehow fused on my hand." Said Roy but what Roy didn't know was it had actually altered some of his DNA.
All of a sudden a little voice snapped him out of it.
"Daddy will you read this story to me?" Asked the 8 year old boy that was standing in front of him, the little boy was holding up a Power Ranger book.
"Sure Michael, what book is it this time?" asked Roy
"Power Rangers, it's really cool." Said Michael as he got up into Roy's lap, Roy started to read but was interrupted by
"Michael why do you go read Power Rangers in your room, mommy needs to talk to daddy ok?" asked Riza as she ruffled the 8 year olds short black hair.
"Ok mommy, dad will you read the book to me later?" asked Michael
"Sure, now please go to your room like mommy asked." Said Roy
"Ok bye." Michael said as he left the room
"He looks like you, you know." Said Riza watching her son go up the stairs
"Really, you think?" asked Roy, Roy then looked at Riza and asked
"So anyway... what is it?"
"oh yes, I got a call from Michael's teacher today during his music class, apparently they were snapping to the music and all of a sudden the person in front of Michael froze and they had to call the fire department to thaw him out, he is ok but... I told Michael it wasn't him so he wouldn't get scared or anything but I am 100 sure it was." Explained Riza
"You mean snap like I use to?" asked Roy, Riza just nodded and sat next to him.
"What are we going to do?" asked Riza
"Let me handle it." Said Roy getting up and going to Michaels room, Roy knocked on the door went in and said
"Michael, can you come into the kitchen with me for a second."
"Ok daddy." Said Michael getting up and following Roy into the kitchen, when they were in the kitchen Roy lit a match and held it in front of his son.
"Now I want you to aim and snap at the fire." Said Roy
"Why?" asked a confused Michael
"Please just do it Michael." Roy asked, Michael did as he was told and a spark came out from in between his thumb and index finger, hit the end of the match, the end of the match just turned into and ice cube.
"Whoa did I do that daddy?" asked a very shocked Michael
"Yes...yes you did." Replied Roy, the thing was alchemy was a withering power no one used it anymore.
"How did I do that?" asked Michael as he look into his dads onyx (politely correct me if I'm wrong) eyes.
"You know, I really don't know, I mean I know it's alchemy but how..." Roy thought back to his encounter with the lightening alchemist "No it couldn't be, could it?" Roy asked himself...
Well did ya like it? DID YA DID YA? Anyway I hope you did and please R+R and if you have and problems with anything I wrote please tell me politely, not by cursing. Hope you enjoy.
