Flame Ivy Moon-Wow, that's good, I'll be sure to read them.
Saturn's Spawn- Ah, Thanks. :) It's grand to hear that my work is appreciated. (Giggles lightly.) Who knows, maybe you just haven't discovered your powers yet. It's no problem, I stand by what I say. Just for fun here is another one. "Behold, the world in a crystal ball, I can look and find myself there, for I stand out among the greys, uniqueness is my middle name." (Winks.) Anyway, yes Requests will get up soon. I didn't realize how hard it is to not mess with Setsuna's character to align her with one of the guys.
Rena Moon-Hmm, you just gave me an idea..(taps head lightly.) Ack, need to stay focused. Not like my hard drive needs another one. Anyway, yup, sides I like Hughes, and the way they killed him was kind of dumb, leaving his daughter and wife alone.
Sachi Nyoko-Hiya legend. (Waves.) I'll stop calling you that if you want me too. Mmm, is 'Wai,' your tagline? (Smiles gently.) Because it's cool. Anyway, yes I can make a DN Angel fiction, but I got to finish a lot of my open ones now, or else I'll get overwhelmed. I don't want to make my reviewers wait months or years for updates. (Winces.) Speaking of which..I've got a few long overdue. Moving on, it's alright if you didn't guess it. Oh, that's good that she is reposting it, but why would someone report her. It's getting to the point where the rules are infringing on the creativity. Alright, I'll see you then.
Angel-(Chuckles.) Now, if I tell you what's next, how am I to keep you occupied? SM/BTVS, which one? Hmm, if I placed a virus on the disk it would be my luck, I'd forget, then oh boy. As for mustard, I doubt that would stop Luna, especially since all she has to do is look at me with her kitten eyes, and I'm a goner. (Meanwhile, she is probably mentally laughing and calling me a sucker.) Mmm, my brother wouldn't be good for her tummy. (Whistles and looks up, exactly why would I mention that to Heero.) Yeah, the martial arts bit..(Holds up a little red book.) Quick excuses that always work without getting you in trouble. Had D/F look up some things for me. :) (Laughs.) Wufei chasing after Heero instead of Duo, that must be fun to watch. Hmm, good point, wouldn't want you getting burn by the sun anyway. (Shakes head.) Naw, just let Duo's predicament be, after all must we be remind of Relena banshee because of his little translation book? (Holds up tickets with a curious grin.) I suppose I owe him an apology of sorts, but I can't believe he is afraid of guinea pigs. (Hides a smirk, and holds up a tape.) You can see for yourself. (Hands it over.) Well, I suppose, I'll go cook then, and use your idea, I'll see you later. Oh. (Tosses something to you.) Since you gave me tickets I suppose I should return the favor. The beads work on both male and female's, so if either Relena or Duo become a bit to bothersome for you, get these around their neck, and then have fun. (Blinks lightly.) Though I don't know who would have the most fun with the beads around Duo and Relena, you or Heero.
Raine-Sure, I can send you one, no problem. Thanks.
Thank you everyone who reviewed. No ownership of Sailor Moon or Full Metal Alchemist.
Scar leaned back in the chair staring at Full Metal with an appraising glance. His eyes glared pointedly at the youngster a few minutes, a hand resting on his tattooed arm. "Full Metal, what makes you think the Ishbar stone is not made the same?" He asked, a gaze resting on his tattooed arm before staring at Full Metal.
"Don't play with me Scar." Full Metal warned, his automail hand tightening upon his knee. "Ishbar does not study alchemy because it goes against your teachings." He answered.
"Easy Full Metal." Scar warned back, red lightening crackling on the tips of his right hand. "Remember, my brother studied Alchemy, my right arm is proof of that." Scar stated. The two prior adversaries stared weightily at each other. Thickening the air with troublesome emotion, it made Al cough drawing attention to himself.
"Please." He whispered to the two of them. "No more fighting." Al stated, his armored body hiding his tears. Full Metal sighed, gazing at his brother and nodded.
"Alright Al." Full Metal claimed, and turned back to Scar. "You know my reasons Scar." Full Metal stated, and stood from the table. "We will talk again, but we have something to do now." He told him, and gestured for Al to follow him. Scar watched the both of them, his hand gripping his right arm in thought.
"Edward." Scar called, drawing Full Metal's attention. "Seeking the red stone, or the blood stone is not the answer." He bespoke and stood as well. Edward turned fully to Scar his face testing anger and confusion. "You must seek the Crystal." Scar informed them, and pushed pass them, out the door, and into the crowed streets of Drachma. He cast a weary gaze to the sky, gazing into their depths for answers, and sighed when he found no comfort. "If you wish it brother." He whispered silently to the sky, before vanishing from the streets.
Edward Elric, proclaimed child prodigy, and noted 'Full Metal Alchemist,' stomped outside in a fit of childish rage. His brother Alphonse Elric, dubbed 'The Immortal Alchemist,' followed with a weary heave of his shoulders. Edward turned to his brother, and threw up his hands in frustration. "What does he mean, Crystal?" He clipped, crossing his arms. "We have already talked to the Crystal Alchemist and cracked his coded books." Ed added, frowning in distaste at the remembered events. Al watched his brother, thinking quickly, surfing through each and every shred of information he called up.
"Brother?" Al prodded, gaining Ed's attention.
"Yes, Al?" He answered back.
"What if he meant a different stone other then the Philosopher's stone?" Al inquired, glancing off into the skies. Ed blinked at the simple answer, his thoughts browsing his memories.
"Wouldn't we have heard of it by now Al?" Ed asked, glancing at his brother. "I suppose we should return to Central, maybe Hughes will have something for us." Ed remarked, and both Elric brothers headed for the train station.
Usagi felt a prickle of an approaching alchemic reaction, worried she stopped the vehicle by ripping the key from the ignition. Hughes blinked at her, before he was tackled out of the vehicle by Usagi, just in time to see long sharp nails embed themselves in the headrest he had just been leaning against. "The homoculi." He whispered, and Usagi snapped her attention to what he was staring at.
"Homoculi?" Usagi questioned angrily, before leaping off Hughes and summoning a strong mix of steel and iron wall. She glanced down at Hughes with a blank expression, offering him a hand up. "Do you think you can run?" She asked concerned, for he was still suffering from his realignment with life.
"Don't have much of a choice." He remarked, as they saw the nails slide through the wall. "Besides, I don't want to be killed by her again." Hughes added. Usagi winced at the comment, and quickly sent a wave of fire up the nails.
"Come on out Hughes, and bring Full Metal out with you." The homoculi called, her voice getting closer as she approached the wall. Usagi and Hughes shared a look of disbelief, before running off.
"She thinks you are Elric, Edward?" He commented surprise, Usagi blinked at the name, familiarity swimming in her heart.
"No time to consider the thought Hughes, we need to pick it up." Usagi stated, clapping her hands together, and placating them against the ground. A large lake appeared and Usagi nodded, giving them a bit of breathing room. "Come on, that won't halt them for long." She added. Hughes nodded, and together the made way for the closest town.
Roy Mustang stared complaintive out his bay window, his office dark to suit his morbid mood. "What happen to you Hughes?" He asked to the empty air. His shallow brooding was cut short as a knock resounded on his office door. "Yes?" Roy bit out, one eye skittering to his desk to the open case file. The door creaked open, and Riza Hawkeye stepped in with a salute.
"Sir, the Elric brothers are here, and they are requesting to talk to Hughes, Sir." She murmured, and watched as Mustang's face whitened a little. He nodded sadly and turned to sit in his office chair.
"Send them in, I'll tell them." He remarked, schooling his features clean.
"Yes sir." Hawkeye said with a salute and gestured to the boys down the hall. Ed and Al walked into the dark office, and Ed cracked a smirk.
"Geez, Mustang, your decorating skills are impressive." Ed joked, but faltered at the unchanging gaze on the Lieutenant Colonel. "What's up?" Ed asked, he and Al settling into the couch that was there.
"Full Metal, it is with sorrow that I must report this, Hughes Maes is dead." Roy stated, with holding all his pain while watching the Elric brothers.
"Damn it!" Ed exclaimed, standing and walking to a wall where he let his fist strike the wall. He his hand left a bloody dent, as he had used his human hand. "What happened?" Ed inquired, hostility surfacing on his tone.
"That is classified information Full Metal." Roy dead panned, his eyes falling on the case file wide open on his desk.
"Don't pull that Mustang." Ed hissed, but further tones from him was cut as Al finally started crying. Ed walked back to Al, trying to comfort his younger brother. "Fine, Mustang." He added, and tilted his head down. "Do you happen to know of something called Crystal?" Ed enquired, missing the shocked glance as he gazed at the ground.
"No, Full Metal, and you are dismiss." Roy ordered, watching as the eldest picked up his head with a scouring glance. The two Elric's walked out, but Ed stopped and glanced once more at Mustang.
"We'll be staying in quarters, come see us tomorrow, I have some information for you." Ed ground out, and then left, his trench coat waving behind him angrily as he slammed the office door.
Roy sighed, leaning his head on his knuckles, and a shudder pass through his body. "I'm sorry Edward." He whispered. His eyes left the desk, causing him to turn back to the window. "The Crystal.."was the soft tone that escaped him. "If only that Alchemist wielder was here." Mustang murmured, reaching into a desk drawer to pull out a alchemist roster. "Hmm, she is the youngest alchemist ever, she beat Ed by a year." He stated, his eyes skimming over the file, purposely skipping over the big red missing stamp on the paper. "Also from the Elric's hometown." Roy remarked, and shut the file with a scattered slam. "Not that she can be much help, she went missing years ago." He added fruitlessly, and turned back to the setting sun.
Ed observed silently as Al tossed in his sleep, his thoughts scanning over the information he just received. He felt tears surfacing, and he wiped them away angrily. "I do not deserve to cry." Ed heatedly yelled to himself, and drew out his amplifier alchemic pocket watch. Flipping it open he stared at the date inscribed on the lid, before glancing at the calender for today's date. Transmuting his hand into a sharp pick, he hastily scratched in today's date for remembrance. "A constant reminder of my guilt, and my promise." He stated and shoved the watch back into his pant pocket.
Usagi and Hughes panted slightly as the traveled over the terrain of the forest. Both of them sighed wearily as the broke through the line of forestry and noticed a town tickling the horizon. Usagi glanced back to see if they had company, but she neither saw nor felt any presence. Still, wanting to be in a safer environment, she summoned another vehicle, and they drove to the town. Hughes gazed down at the blonde, a small peaceful smile on his face. "Hey, I never did catch your name." He remarked. Usagi sighed, and turned to him.
"I go by Tsukino, Usagi." She commented, turning her eyes to the sky line.
"But?" Hughes inquired watching her turn back to him.
"Nothing." She closed the conversation, and watched as they got closer to the town.
Since most of my stories focus on Usagi, and you know she is going to need some back up in this world, should I bring in little Hotaru? Hmm, seems like trouble is budding. Yet, when is it not? See ya soon.
Much Care,
Wolfchildblazer.
