Episode 2: Cold

Anime: Full Metal Alchemist


I sat on the hard concrete, seeing the blood spill onto the cold ground. My eyes were dull and lifeless unlike the happy and carefree Red self. Blood spattered onto my face as well as my arms and legs. My black hair was coated in mud. My military uniform was ripped a lot, and some wounds were being to ache. A huge gash ran from my neck to my back. I didn't care if I was dying. It was what was in front of me that only mattered.

Jean Havoc was doing some paperwork at his desk. He sighed as his cigarette blew some smoke. His blue eyes lazily looked outside the window to see that the bright sun was being to be pushed away by the dark gloomy clouds. 'It's going to rain again, I presume.' He thought. As if on cue, the clouds burst out in tears as if crying for something terrible that happened just now. He yawned seeing that his paperwork was done.

Stretching, he saw that it was time for him to go home so he called behind him to the person that he knew as a small child. "Oi, Tsuki, wanna go and get some dinner with me?" Havoc called to her.

No response emitted from her desk. He got up and looked over his shoulder, seeing that she had left in a hurry as her papers were scattered about. "Where'd she even go? She's not done with her work yet!" Havoc said.

His eyes gazed over her desk as a piece of paper fell down. He bent down and caught it. He looked at it just reading over it calmly, but he stopped, dropping his cigarette. The piece of paper that he was holding was an execution form for Roger Collins, Tsuki's older brother.

'Today on February 19th, 1912, Roger Collins assaulted the Furher President King Bradley. The reason is unknown at the moment, but he will be sent to execution at 12am sharp. This is the supposed time of it but he, for some reason, disappeared without a trace. The only known relative of him is Tsuki Collins. She told us that she didn't know where he was but inside sources indicates that she hid him inside her house. She and her brother are going to be outlaws and executed at the same time today. If she is not at the selected place, she will be hunted down by our top executor, Kimblee J. Zolf. This was signed by the secretary of King Bradley.'

"Tsuki…. Is going to…. Be executed?" Jean Havoc gasped as his blue eyes widened in shock. He grabbed his coat and ran out of his office, knocking down Heymans Breda and Vato Falman over in an instant.

"Hey, Havoc, watch it alright?" Breda yelled as he got up, seeing his friend run out the door and outside.

Falman looked at the piece of paper on the floor he dropped. He picked it up as he stood up, examining it carefully. He gasped, causing Breda to look at him in confusion. He looked at Havoc's vanishing form running to a place. "Where's Mustang?" He asked Breda.

"Um…. At his desk doing paperwork with Fuery, why?" Breda asked as he was being pulled to Roy Mustang's room. When they got there, he was talking to Fuery about something then stopped when they barged in. "Sorry for barging in, but Falman has something to show you." Breda said.

Falman walked over to Roy's desk and handed him the piece of paper.

Roy Mustang's eyes widened with horror then sadness filled its place. "Where's Tsuki?" He asked. Kain Fuery looked over to see what was happening, and he died inside.


I stared at the body in front of me cold as a corpse. His body was on the ground, bleeding all of his blood already crusted. His eyes were glazed over with death, and his mouth had a trickle of blood. His yellow hair was matted in blood. His military uniform was ripped and shredded. His hand was on mine as I held it.

"Brother, please get up. You have more fight left in you I know you do." I whimpered out. My red eyes darkened into a mixture of blood red and dark black. Tears cascaded down my bruised cheeks. I didn't hear the footsteps behind me, and I just went on my way.

"Please get up, Roger. You're the blade Alchemist. You're better at alchemy than I am! And you know once they execute you, I'll be exposed to the Ishbalan ways of I was born. Because I am an Ishbalan I have chosen this fate. I don't want to die…. I love everyone in my rankings…. I would rather face that psycho, Kimblee, than be executed by some weirdo." I whispered unknown to the presence behind me.

"Well, Fang Alchemist, it seems your wish has been granted." A voice said behind me.

I jumped and looked behind me to see him. He stared at me in a cocky smile. He wore his military uniform and his hair was tied in a low ponytail. His golden eyes glowed in the fog. His hair was glistening in the mist, meaning that the rain must be starting.

"Kimblee…" I whispered. I tensed as I let go of my brother's cold hand. Rain drops pelted on my face, mixing with my tears. I clenched my teeth together. My dark red eyes darkened as I stood up facing him. I snarled at him as he smirked.

"My, my…. Fang Alchemist does not glare at me. I've got orders to kill you. I've already got your brother here, and now I will do the same to you as I did him." Kimblee said as the rain fell down. He closed his eyes and shrugged.

"You're the executor?" I backed away, forgetting about the wall I was backing into. I was scared. 'I should have come earlier and ran to Resembool.' I thought. The rain pelted down harder, making my hair matt. I hit the wall, yelping as he came onto me. I scrapped the walls of the brick, making my nail beds bleed.

"Yeah, and I have to do my duty… You didn't get the memo about it? I laid it on your desk at 2am in the morning." Kimblee said smiling.

"You went into my office? And you went looking onto my desk!" I said angrily. No one looks at my desk! There's secret stuff on it! Like… the thing about Havoc. NO ONE MUST KNOW ABOUT IT!

"Yes, I also saw something about… 2nd Lieutenant Jean Havoc. You love him don't you? Him being you're childhood friend and all. That's so sweet, but I guess he'll have to find another girl because you'll be gone in an hour or so." Kimblee smirked, getting right close to my face. He used to right hand to lift my face up to his. His golden eyes scared me as I shook. The rain fell down my face.

I looked behind him to see something shining in the sky. 'What is that?' I thought and suddenly knew it was the moon. Darkness fell out and the sun slept. 'The mooooon…' I growled in my head as my pupils turned to slits. You see, I'm the so called Fang Alchemist. As in, a dog/canine so my alchemy is based Offa it. My nails sharpened, and I growled.

Kimblee looked at me surprised. "So, this is your alchemy name? You're a real dog of the military then. You must so loyal to your master. It's Havoc right? You must do everything he tells you… or is it Roy Mustang?" He laughed. He seemed to be enjoying it has he took a step back.

I snarled as I struck him. He looked at me in surprise as he held my fist. I snarled and bit his arm. My teeth grew sharper as the wolf's. I raked my teeth into his skin drawing blood. There was NO stopping me now that the moon is high, and I am transforming faster than the speed of light.

He winced as he put his hand up near my face. His hand grew bright red.

I let go jumping back. I stared at him feeling the transformation occur. My body snapped into sickening cracks as it grew into its new skelectur form. My hands furred into paws with sharp claws at the end as did my feet. My uniform turned into fur making me navy blue with yellow lines. My red eyes snapped into sharp pupils. My face elongated into a wolf's snout. My teeth grew larger and sharper. A tail emerged from my backside. I was larger than a normal wolf. Maybe the size of a crocodile is what I was.

I howled as the moon showed my true form. The glow from the moon glistened on my fur, making me shine in the dark. My blood red eyes glowed out like a demons.

"So, this is the true power of the Fang Alchemist?" Kimblee stated, looking at his injured arm. He licked the blood off and smirked. "I guess it will be a fun fight. Let's try and keep this quiet, eh? We don't want anyone of your friends to find us and stop us." He said. He got into a sparring stance and raised both of hands glowing red. "Let's see who will win the Red Lotus Alchemist or the Fang?" He asked.

I snarled, letting out a bark. I used my ears and heard nothing. I switched back to Kimblee to see him gone. I panicked and looked around. My eyesight wasn't good in the mist/rain so I used my ears and sense of smell. The blood should help me scent him. I waited. I closed my eyes and then… THERE!

A powerful blow of air smashed into the ground causing a ruckus. 'He told ME to be quiet?' I thought sarcastically. I jumped away in time before striking head first into the body. I stretched my forepaw out giving a nasty blow to his stomach. I snapped at his neck, but he dodged in time.

He raised his arm and threw a flurry of air in my direction. He ran towards me throwing more and more. Soon a tornado of air came near me, but also it drug up some concrete. 'If I get hit by those I'll lose.' I thought. I looked straight into it, seeing if there was a way out.

I dodged the concrete coming towards me but didn't notice a body coming towards me with a glowing palm. I snapped my ears around then my head. The glow of his hands reflected in my eyes as I tried to duck. I couldn't get away—.


Jean Havoc rushed into the street, falling on the rain ridden ground. He worriedly looked around to try and find his best friend. His signature cigarette still limply in his mouth was about to fall out. His blond spikey hair was drenched in rain as his brown hair was too. His blue eyes looked around and felt a hand on shoulder. He raised his gun at the person who touched him to see Roy Mustang and everyone else. Including FullMetal and Al were there.

"Put the gun down 2nd Lieutenant Havoc. I'm not the enemy here." Colonel Mustang addressed him, pushing the gun out of his face. He wore his flame gloves in emergency so this must be very important. His black short hair soaked in rain. His onyx eyes glowed.

"Havoc, do you know how long it took us to find you?" Kain Fuery shouted. His black hair and glasses glowed in the rain. His uniform was covered in mud from slipping.

"Yeah, you're not that easy to find when you're looking for something." Heymans Breda said. He along with Fuery and Falman nodded.

Riza Hawkeye sighed, seeing something in the distance.

Ed and Alphonse Elric looked at him then both sighed. Ed was covered head to toe in mud, and Al was caked in rain.

"Sorry, guys. Something came up, and I had to get out. Why are you following me anyway?" Jean asked his colonel.

Roy Mustang eyes became sad as he scrounged in his pocket, pulling out a scroll. He gave it to Havoc who knew what it was. "We found this. We knew you and Tsuki are very close. Havoc, we'll help you find her. If you didn't notice I'm her old friend. All of us are so we are going to help find her. She's helped us in different situations. It's time we repaid the favor." He smiled. Something rare, it's not like his sarcastic witty one but a kind smile.

"Yeah, I don't know where she is…. And if we don't hurry Kimblee will kill her!" Jean declared, looking at any sign as to where she was.

Alphonse notice that Riza was staring at a foggy destination near the old Central Park before it was closed for renovations. "Ms. Hawkeye, what are you staring at?" Al asked her seeming to catch her off guard.

"Oh, I thought I saw something happening over there but I guess-" She stated but stopped when a loud howl was heard. Soon a loud boom followed after that creating an earthquake.

Everyone stood their ground as it vibrated.

"What was that?" Fuery said holding onto Falman tightly. Falman tried to pry Fuery off with Breda.

"An earthquake but where did it start?" Alphonse asked. He looked around for the source. He saw very vaguely a body in Central Park.

"Ed, what's that over by the old Central Park?" Al asked his older brother who looked at him before responding.

"I think it's…. Oh god, no please." Edward Elric gasped as his eyes were filled with remorse and fright which confused Al.

"What is it brother?" Al asked worriedly. Riza seemed to notice because Black Hayate was growling very loudly and almost barking.

"What's wrong, Black Hayate?" Riza asked her black and white pooch who ran off into that direction of old Central Park. "Black Hayate, come back here!" She yelled running off after it gaining the looks of her friends.

Edward Elric ran off into that direction also ignoring his brother's calls. Thus making Al follow then everyone else to where Ed and Riza had gone too.

As they arrived, they saw Riza and Ed both about to vomit. "What's the matter Ed-" Al didn't get to finish before he saw the shredded body that belonged to Lieutenant Roger Collins. "Is that Lieutenant Roger Collins?" Al shrieked.

Colonel Mustang grieved deeply. Roger Collins was a great man on his squad. And now he lost another, the 1st being Maes Hughes. His eyes glowed with sadness and did his fellow co-workers. All of them knew Roger very well enough to call him a brother.

As he grieved, Jean Havoc looked around for any signs of Tsuki Collins. He went a little farther into the deeply covered old Central Park and found small drops of blood. "Is this Tsuki's blood?" Havoc asked himself. He heard a shrill yelp only 7 feet away from him and so he took off. As he did, he kept on yelling, "TSUKI, I'M COMING FOR YOU!"


Tsuki whimpered as she felt blood trickle down her chest. The blow that Kimblee made hit her in the chest. It hurt so badly so she let out a shrill yelp before falling down onto the ground. She looked hazily at Kimblee, who was now smirking at her defeated form.

He knelt down in front of her before saying, "So, it seems that the Wolf Fang is merely a useless scout. I knew it all along. So, now I will take pleasure in to killing you. Bye-Bye puppy." He said, raising his hand up to give an ending blow to the head before feeling a bullet in his hand. He growled before seeing Jean Havoc. "So, you're Jean Havoc? The one that this puppy has followed?"

Tsuki looked over to see him. Him. The guy she likes! She can't let him die on her watch! She got up weakly before snapping her strong jaws shut onto his shoulder before feeling a shot into her leg. She whimpered and then fell down, letting go of the guy's shoulder.

Jean Havoc smiled as he shot the guy again, seeing him run off with two wounds. He ran towards the battered and bruised wolf. He saw the injuries on her chest and hind leg. He cursed himself for being late. "Tsuki? Tsuki? Can you hear me?"

Tsuki lifted up one of her ears to signal she heard him. She was too weak. She felt as if she was gonna die, and she never told Jean how much she loved him.

"Oh please don't die!" Havoc said, tears brimming in his eyes. He never cried before now. His best friend Tsuki was dying before him. He held her close to him, crying into her fur. "Don't die… I love you so much."

Tsuki instantly shook as she heard him. 'He loves me?' She thought as she opened her weak eyes. She gasped as she saw that Jean Havoc was crying for her, only her. She weakly put her injured paw on his cheek, whining.

Jean felt the paw, and he looked at her. Her eyes were open now, to reveal her bright red eyes he loved so much. "Don't you dare die on me?" He whimpered, placing a kiss on her muzzle.

Tsuki could have sworn she would blush if she wasn't so weak. She felt a pain in her. Immense pain. She let out a howl of pain before shaking. She stopped as she lay limp in his arms; slowly the world was turning to black.

"NO!" Jean growled. He was crying very hard now. When he saw that his friends were there, he refused to leave Tsuki's body behind. "No! I can't! I love her!" He cried.


After the funeral for Tsuki's wolf body, Jean Havoc was back to work doing papers. He looked back at her desk once more before a new employee filled her seat. "Hello." He grunted.

"Hi my name is Luna Fields." The female smiled. She had blonde hair and pink eyes.

"Jean Havoc." He grunted again, doing his paper work. Once he stopped, he left to take a walk outside to let his mind cool down. He took a drag from his cigarette. He was walking around in the forest for a good 10 minutes, deciding it was time to head back.

A shuffle from a bush caught his attention. He looked back, readying his weapon. "Who's there?" He asked.

A little blue and yellow wolf emerged from the bushes. It held a letter in its mouth.

Jean gasped. The dog's eyes were red, and the letter was printed with the same signature that she used. He knelt down, petting the wolf as he took the collar from its mouth. He unfurled it, and he began to read as the wolf pup lay down beside him.

'Dear Jean Havoc,

This is Tsuki. This is a small and out of the blue letter I was gonna give you before I left. Well, I love you. I have always loved you. I wish I got to tell you in person, and I wish I could hear the same thing come from your mouth. This will have to do… So, again, I love you.

Love, Tsuki'

Jean cried. "I love you too." He held the wolf pup, naming it Tsuki after his love.
