Chapter 2: The Girl of Legend
"That jerk, he took Dante, I'll kill him!" Winry said as she walked down the road, wrench at the ready. "Wait until I find that little shrimp"
"Excuse me miss, you look lost" said a man wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket.
"Out of my way jerk I haven't got time for this."
"I'm guessing you're new around here, well let me explain something to ya doll face; this is my town, now you can hand over all the dough you got or else I'll have to get rough with you."
"Like I'm going to give you anything" Winry swung her wrench at the strange man, but he knocked it out of her hand and pulled out a gun.
"You better cut that out and do as you're told."
Oh no what am I going to do, this guy's really serious! She started trembling.
"See that's a good girl, now, how's about a smooch?"
"Hey you pig, get off of her!" once again Winry was being saved by the mysterious blond.
"Heh and what's a pipsqueak like you gonna do about it?"
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SMALL?" the blond proceeded to beat the guy to a blood pulp, "WHAT ELSE YOU WANNA CALL ME HUH? MIDGET, SHORTY, HALF-PINT, ANT!"
"Stop it that's enough!" Winry cried, "I'm fine now so just let him go"
The vertically challenged blond released the man.
"I'm getting out of here!" he runs off.
"Are you sure you're alright now? You looked pretty scared."
"Well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't; thank you for saving me again."
"Don't mention it, say you're really not from around here are you?"
"No my friend and I, hey wait a sec I thought she was with you!"
"No, I haven't seen her since the first time I met you guys."
"Oh I see, well could you help me find her?"
"Sure why not since you don't know your way around Amestris. Besides that, you seem to be the clueless type anyways."
"What'd you say!"
The boy stuck his tongue out, "Catch me if you can" he started to run.
"Hey wait a minute!"
"Come on hurry up!"
The two of them ran out of Resenbool and into Central.
"Wow what is this place?"
"This is Central and over there is central HQ, only military personnel are allowed inside"
Maybe they could help me get home. Winry went inside.
"Hey wait a minute you'll get shot if you go in there!"
Meanwhile somewhere inside…
"Sir." said lt. Ross.
"Yes what is it?" said a man with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
"Sir, royalty should be more elegant."
"Royalty my ass, the only reason I'm at the top is because I was the only living relative of my 5th cousin who was the Fuhrer before me."
"Well none the less, as the last living Havoc, you must think about finding a bride and carrying on your legacy."
"You say it like it's easy, all the cute girls are taken!"
"Chin up sir, I'm sure the right girl will find her way to you."
Just then Winry ran in, fallowed by Ed, who was being pursued by some soldiers.
"What's going on here?" Havoc asked one of his men.
"Sir, I think they're spies from an enemy nation."
"Hey wait a sec, check out the strange clothes on the broad."
"She must be the girl of legend!" said Lt. Ross, "They say that when a great war approaches, a girl, wielding a wrench, will appear from another world. And then she'll unite her seven warriors who are protected by the stars and she'll save our land."
"You can't tell me you guys buy that crap." said Havoc.
"Yeah, there's no way a girl like her could be a 'girl of legend'" said the boy with Winry.
"Can it shrimp!" said Winry
"What'd you call me?"
"Well what IS your name?"
"Edward, just call me Ed, and I happen to be one of the warriors from that prophecy!"
"Really is that so?" asked Ross.
"Yepp, I'm guarded by the star, Tamahome see?" he moved his bangs and the symbol of the ogre appeared with a bright red glow.
"That's wonderful news; we've found our priestess and two of her warriors!"
"Really who's the second one?" asked Ed.
"I am, Fuhrer King Havoc, guarded by the star Hotohori, and miss," he said while turning to Winry, "I'd be a very happy man if you accepted the role of priestess."
Priestess, me? Oh yeah Dante said that the one who reads the book becomes priestess and gets her wish granted!
"Sir I accept!"
Heh, Winry's the priestess, Havoc's Fuhrer, Ed's the hero; now the fun begins…
