Drabble the Twenty-second: 5th Lab: Enemy of My Enemy
Scar destroyed the wall, his only thought being that he had to stop this before it got completely out of hand. The explosion rocked the room, shattering the glass tanks and walls, releasing the red liquid inside to rush out around the stunned and confused homunculi. Scar stood at the edge of the hole in the wall, looking down at the utter chaos he had just created with a small bit of satisfaction, and shouted down, "Fullmetal Alchemist. Take your brother and go."
"Don't kid me!" the boy shouted back angrily, eyes filled with disbelief.
Scar's eyes narrowed slightly; did the boy not understand that he needed to get himself and Alphonse out of there now, before the homunculi regained control of the situation? This was no time to argue or fight! 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend…' Scar thought with a kind of grim humor. He had to say something that would make Fullmetal understand that, for just this brief moment, they were on the same side and that he was trying to help. Or, since it was doubtful that the stubborn little alchemist would listen or believe him, at least something that would remind him that he had to get Alphonse away. Suddenly, it came to him, "An older brother is supposed to protect his little brother," the Ishbalan spoke solemnly.
The phrase had the desired effect; after a second of hesitation during which Fullmetal didn't seem to be able to decide between dealing with Scar or helping his brother, he turned and began to run towards Alphonse. Then his foot landed in the growing puddle of the red liquid and everything went wrong.
A/N: Oh yes, Scar-san has saved the day! WOOT! I love that line, 'An older brother is supposed to protect his little brother'; it so rocks my socks. Hehehe…and Scar's expression while he's saying it…it's like 'Ed you idiot, go save your brother'. Sorry for the shortness of the chapter; I wanted to end it before the next bit happened. Wheee…I got a little plastic chibi Scar for my birthday, and I love it to death. It's so cute and frowny! -squeal-
