Author's Note
In all seriousness I don't own Sailor Moon or Fullmetal Alchemist, yet the concept is mine. Please don't take it without my consent… PLEASE…
I apologize bunches for not having this up this afternoon… I had a very interesting day and you can e-mail me to ask if you want! Anyhow, enjoy the next part of Version's final test!
Sailor Moon and the Philosopher's Stone
Chapter 11: Rescue Mission, Part II
"I am not going to even begin to ask why you have a personal servant for a lieutenant," Raye said finally. Roy shot her a look.
"What is this? Jealousy?" Roy asked. Raye fumed.
"It is not!" she denied.
"Raye, can't you be serious? The others are in grave danger, and you don't have your wand!"
"Luna, relax. Roy here is a pyromaniac and she's got aim better than Meatball Head's discus throw! Plus, Winry has a wrench," Raye pointed out.
"What good does that wrench do?" Luna demanded.
"Much more good than your whining," Winry replied for Raye. "Besides, we've been following Raye's guidance for the past two hours."
"Have you found anyone?" Luna asked.
"From what I gather, it would seem that you have no room to talk you fleabag," Riza said, as Roy and Winry stared at her. "I hate cats. Especially annoying talking ones."
"Oh," they said.
"Like I was saying, she's found three people, you've found none. So you should have some respect."
"I happen to be the royal guardian to Princess Serenity, so don't you talk to me about respect."
"It's okay Luna," Raye said with a smile. "I know you mean well."
"Raye, what's brought this?" Luna asked.
"I think that they have weaknesses against the fire-based," Roy said finally. Raye looked at him, as he pointed to the next situation they had run into.
"AAAHHH! HELP ME!" a familiar pink-haired child cried.
"RINI!" Raye screamed. "Hang on!"
"We're coming Rini!" Luna cried, as she and Raye both ran ahead of the group.
"Well, I guess this means we're off," Winry said, looking over the giant plant that held the poor girl hostage. It's vines surrounded her like a cage. "I better get my wrench."
"I'll start the fire," Roy sighed.
"And I'll start shooting like a madwoman!" Riza announced, as everything stopped to look at her. A sweat drop fell down her face. "I mean, I'll take special precautions when firing!"
The chaos continued, as Riza pulled out her gun. Then, she started to fire, when the plant was suddenly lit aflame.
"ROY! WAIT UNTIL RINI IS OUT OF THE ENEMY'S GRASP TO LIGHT THEM AFLAME!" Raye screamed.
"Oops."
"AAH!" Rini cried.
"Rini! Transform!" Luna cried.
"I can't without Serena!" Rini replied.
"Hang on Rini!" the priestess cried, as she jumped into the flames, and broke apart the dying cage that held the child.
"Raye!" Rini cried, as she jumped into Raye's arms, who immediately jumped away from the plant which was finally crumbling. Raye waited until the flames died down, and took one good punch to Roy's face.
"You moron! You could have killed her!" she cried.
"But I didn't."
"You're lucky she's all right. I would have been unable to guarantee your safety if she would have been hurt."
"What do you mean by that?" Riza demanded.
"Rini is Princess Serenity's future daughter. She would have been furious if something were to happen to her," Luna explained. "Speaking of, have you seen your mother or Diana around here Rini?"
"I thought I saw Trista that way," Rini replied, pointing.
"I definitely am getting some strange vibes. Come on!" Raye said, as the group ran forward, Winry looking to Rini.
"Are you all right?"
"Oh I'm fine. I just hope that meatball head mother of mine isn't getting into too much trouble," Rini replied.
"I hope you don't mean Serena."
"Yup," Rini said distantly. Then in an aggravated tone, "She's always getting into trouble!"
"I'm sure she's fine," Winry said reassuringly. "Now let's catch up with the others."
"Okay!" Rini cheered. Up ahead, Raye was rushing at top speed, trying to find the source of this vibe. Luckily, she heard a familiar attack in her ears, as she stopped her mad dash.
"PLUTO DEAD SCREAM!"
"TRISTA!" Rini cried from behind, dashing past the halted Raye, as Roy and Riza both ran into Raye, subsequently falling down as Winry ran all of them over. Luna ran by the remains of Raye.
"Raye! Are you okay?" she squeaked, as Raye squirmed her head out from the bottom of the pile.
"I will be once these two lovebirds get off of me," Raye mumbled, as Roy and Riza quickly jumped to their feet.
"WE ARE NOT!" they cried, looked at one another, and turned away. Raye chuckled as she got to her feet, Sailor Pluto coming her way, Rini holding her hand.
"I see that they've managed to take away your transformation pen. How have you managed so far?"
"Flame Alchemist has been setting things on fire like a pyromaniac," Raye hinted, as Roy got the distinct feeling of daggers piercing his heart from a certain Guardian of Time.
"I see."
"We're trying to finish this mission, but we aren't getting anywhere very fast," Winry noted.
"Well, if it's any help, I can take those who aren't part of your original team to the Time Gates, where we can all wait for your safe return," Sailor Pluto said, as the group looked at her.
"Isn't that forbidden?" Rini gasped.
"Not if I intend to send those two home it isn't. Now come on, we'll let Roy, Raye, and Winry fight their own battle."
"So how do we send anyone else we find?" Raye asked as Rini, Sailor Pluto, and Riza were vanishing.
"I'll deal with it when the time comes," Sailor Pluto replied, as she finally faded away. Roy shivered.
"Creepy," Roy whispered.
"You should show her more respect," Raye said, waving her hand. "She is the scout who's going to get you home."
"In my fear, I had nearly forgotten," Roy said sarcastically, as they heard an explosion. Demons, lots of them, were coming. They panicked, unable to react swiftly enough, as they were trampled by the oncoming bringers of fear.
"Come back you black-souled ruffians!" a voice cried, as Winry's eyes lit up.
"It's Major Armstrong!" she cried, as Roy sighed deeply, and Raye struggled to her feet, only to literally be lifted off the ground by a large, muscular man with a single strand of blond hair on his forehead to accent his blond mustache.
"Well, are you all right young lady?" he asked. Raye nearly screamed in fear as she jumped back, charms ready to go.
"Whoa, he's a friend Raye!" Winrey exclaimed.
"As Winrey said just a moment ago, this is a subordinate of mine, Major Armstrong."
"In my fear, I had nearly forgotten," Raye replied whimisically, as Roy gave her a sharp look.
"Don't you mock me."
"It just proves how much a stickler you really are," Raye kidded, as the muscular man, Armstrong, got in the way.
"Colonel, I believe it best if you tell me what's going on."
"I wish I could. It's a little confusing," Roy started, as Armstrong started fading. "Hey! What's happening to you Major?"
"It must be that we are only to share a brief meeting. Until we see each other again Colonel!" Armstrong said, flexing his muscles as pink sparkles appeared around his fading form.
"What happened?" Winry asked finally, as Raye stopped staring in a creeped out sort of daze, as she smiled some.
"I think Pluto is picking them up as we find them, since she can't very well break the rules and move them before then."
"Then that's good news for us," Roy said.
"Yup," Winry cheered. "Onto the next vict—I mean next friend in need!"
Umm…
