Chapter 4: Waves
The three alchemists walked into chaos. People running amuck, children crying, people shouting. The square of the capital was full of people as they all looked up to the King's balcony, where he prepares to address the mob. They hurried up to the stairwell to the balcony, climbing furiously up the brick steps. Ed was behind Seiya, and Roy led the party as they came up behind the king in his office. He turned, a tear slid down his face.
"Hello, officers." He choked. He crossed the room, and beckoned Seiya over to him by the wall. Roy and Ed stood by the balcony, looking out to the crowd." I wanted you to be here." He whispered to Seiya in the confines of their own matter.
"For what?" she asked, perplexed beyond belief." What was so urgent, Furer?"
"What IS so urgent, colonel. We need the special squad." She gasped at the sudden image that sunk into her mind. Was he going to use them to catch Envy? She hadn't brought out the special squad in years. What was he planning? The king raised his head to the other two men, marveling at the mob in the crowd. Their faces were illuminated by the sun in the square. "We have a bit of a situation, gentlemen. It seems Envy; the sin has been using the philosopher's stone to ruin villages along the coast. The victims of these fires have been sent here. Thus, the crowd." He chuckled. "I bet you thought it was a surprise party, eh Mustang?" Roy scowled at the joke, and continued looking out to the mob. "Never mind. I need you all to go on a special mission. I believe this group will work out just fine…Edward Elric? Is that you boy?" Ed nodded at the elderly man and smiled, hiding his anger at being called a boy.
"Furer, the mission." The King was snapped back to reality by the gesture.
"Oh yes, the mission. I would like to send you three and several others on an undercover mission to the town of Lockley. Envy is said to be hiding in that region. You are to conduct this search on strictly private bases, no involvement of the public, understood?" The three nodded as the Furer looked back out at the crowd. "You will be departing around 7:00 tomorrow evening, be ready with everything you need. "He paused suddenly and smiled out the window. "Some times I wonder what this world would be like without alchemists…" He mused quietly, barely above a whisper." And then I wake up! "He chuckled slightly at his own joke and ushered the group out of the office, as a larger man, behind the king, closed the curtains to the balcony.
Ed, Seiya and Roy made their way down the stone steps gradually. They where in no kind of rush and had a lot to consider. Roy was first to speak.
"Who are the others going I wonder?" He asked no one in particular. Seiya was about to tell Roy that it was her squad, but quickly thought twice.
"I don't know." She lied. They made it to the bottom about 20 minutes later as the mob began to cheer.
A/N: Sorry, really short! Be sure to compete! But I don't want you guys to review just because you want yourself in my story. You should want to say something! C yas!
