Hey everyone! We made it to Chapter 2! Anyway I'll let you guys get on with it! Today's disclaimer is done by:
Roy: What the hell am I doing here?
Erin: Don't you remember? Holds up a picture of a blonde woman in a miniskirt I told you I'd give you this if you said….
Roy: Enthusiastically Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors! Erin gives him the picture WAIT A MINUTE! THIS ISN'T RIZA!
Amanda: On with the fic!
In the camps, Sakura finished with her last patient, an Ishbalan child who had scrapped his knee, and was closing up when one of the other children there came to her. "Ms. Takahashi it's wonderful! There's a man here who's looking for volunteers to research a good way to combat those blasphemous alchemists! Come quickly!" He grabbed her hand as she thought Jackpot!
Sakura followed the young Ishbalan boy to where a man dressed in clothes like the other Ishbalan men had a group of people gathered around him as he talked on about the State Alchemists and how the State had ravaged the people and that if willing people were to come with him they would become part of a great experiment in weaponry to defeat the State and the State Alchemists and knock the Fuhrer from power. "It sounds too good to be true," Sakura thought as she watched the willing hands spring up, especially the little boy that had led her to the group.
"Do you accept non-Ishbalans, sir?" She asked timidly, stepping forward toward the man.
The mystery man had the group separate like the Red Sea when Moses spread it apart to help the Jews escape, "Well, well, a person seeking answers to my great project?" the man asked, but in his eyes shined the evil of Envy under the layers of hidden disguise that he wore in the circle of Ishbalans.
"Yes, I was wondering if I could be of any service. The State and it's alchemist have destroyed for too long. It's time that everyone, Ishbalans and other's alike, join up to dispose of that rotten Fuhrer!" She stated passionately, stepping toward the man.
The man saw a fire of passion in the woman's eyes as she saw the others rising up along with her, but he could see through her phony hate for the Alchemists. "A State Spy among Ishbalans? Is this girl for real? Time to test her true loyalty and where it lies," Envy thought in the disguise as the rebel Ishbalan man.
The man got down from his rocky perch and walked towards Sakura and started to eye her up and down to see if she was true to her word and then he decided on the test, "If you truly hate Alchemists and the Fuhrer as you say you do then your test, if you choose to accept it, is to get rid of one particular hero of the people of the East." Sakura thought, "How hard can it be?"
"Tell me who is this guy you want gone," Sakura said willing to do the challenge.
"Your task is to lure the Fullmetal Alchemist to a town where State Alchemists are truly hated and then once you have him there, I will come for you and we shall dispose of him together," the man said.
"Who is the true name of the Alchemist?" Sakura asked, ready to do the mission.
"Edward...Elric," the man whispered into Sakura's ear. Sakura was in shock, but gained control of her emotions and looked the man straight into his eyes before grinning evilly
"Then so I shall, Mr...?" She gave him a slight questioning look, as though his name didn't really matter, but needed to know it simply for her own manner's sake.
"Mr. Thompson, my name is Mr. Thompson," answered the mystery man and after the two shook hands, the man disappeared through the crowd towards his hiding place. "That pathetic State Military Dog doesn't know the truth that I'm truly a Homunculus, the Homunculus Envy...but she won't find out until I have Fullmetal Pipsqueak creating the stone for the Homunculi under punishment of his little brother going bye-bye and that little woman being killed," Envy said slyly as he hid away in his tent with a "Do Not Disturb" sign posted on the outside of his tent.
Sakura smiled contentedly to herself as she made her way to the small tent she had set up on the outside of the camp. What that jerk Mr. "Thompson" doesn't know is that I know who and what he is. Thank you, Envy, you're going to be perfect. She smiled as she settled down into her bedroll, not bothering with a Do Not Disturb sign. After all, why use it when you're the doctor?
Sakura slept through the night without interruption, but at one moment she could sense someone in her tent and as she rolled over in her bedroll she opened her eyes slightly to see Envy hanging off the roof of her tent. "Scream and it will be the last thing you do in this life, Lt. Sakura," Envy said coldly as he held his hand over her mouth, "the Fullmetal Pipsqueak doesn't need to know that you have seen me...that will be our secret, be a good girl and go back to sleep."
She blinked at him then glared and, biting into his hand and using her head to pull, she sent him crashing into her bedroll next to her before straddling his waist. She had thought of screaming, but no one would hear her out here anyway.
"You listen to me, I don't answer to such a monster like you and believe me I know more about you and your kind that you seem to let on," Sakura said as pressed her face closer to Envy, but he rolled away from her and ran from her tent in the dark.
"Be warned Lieutenant, one word to the pipsqueak and the Colonel and anyone you hold close to your heart ends up dead like those that get too close to my plans," Envy said as he dashed into the night.
She smiled coldly at his retreating form. "Ah, but you don't know...the one closest to me is one of your kind." She whispered before getting up and making a pot of coffee. There was no way in hell she was going back to sleep tonight!
And there you have it! Chappie 2!
