"What is that-than thing"
People of the city of Liore screamed as they watched a strange happening. Enormous cats ran around the city knocking over stands whiles taking anything edible in their jaws, but this wasn't the strangest thing: Two larger ones were chasing after a tiny light greyish-blue animal which resembled a rodent or weasle. They chased it into the middle of an alleyway, seeminly it had nowhere to go, one of the cat beast jumped at it. Suddenly an array of sort formed infront of the weasle creature and the cat turned to ice, It then jumped up, produce ice like steps to get away.
"So how is Colonel Riza today?" Roy asked his former lover.
"Not to complain but I've had better days. Its two in the afternoon and only now I've gotten around to having lunch. Armstrong and our trainie are still on the grounds practicing."
It had been several months since Gluttony had joined the military, since his leg had been replaced they had moved their operations to a new military base close to Ishbal. The reason for this is training was easier in the summer however because the homunculus had came to them in mid fall it would have been too cool in central for the training to go ahead.
"What, is Gluttony too much work to handle? You should do like me and give him the same attitude as every other soldier." Roy said, continuing some paperwork he was doing before her arrival.
Riza put away some things and grab a already prepared lunch. "Well this is the hard part of working with a creature that almost completely fights with instincts. We have to make sure if he goes against a terrorist of sorts he doesn't kill them in a gruesome display of blood rather than capture them for incarceration"
Roy frowned. "Hey, why don't you let me help with this? I could"
"Get the air knock out of you by a creature that weighs double of yourself and be out for the rest of the day. Unless you've decided to use your flames again"
Riza interupted him and finished by asking him a question.
"Well I could"
"Colonel!" Fuery ran in exclaiming, she stoped for a moment catching his breath.
"Will someone allow me to finish what I was saying?" Roy said with irritation.
Fuery looked at him. "This isn't the time- there an emergency situation going on in Liore"
Riza looked at Fuery. "What"
"There was an enormous attack by some creatures believed to be origined from the event last fall. From the description givin to us they appear to be the same species from the battle at Central's military hospital. Plus something even weirder than that, enormous ice formations have appeared throughout the city, even one contained a creature. They want us (Riza and subordanates) there. And they difinitely want Gluttony too." Fuery stopped and sat down, catching his breath again.
Riza nodded, she would have to eat her meal on the way there. As would Armstrong and Gluttony. She decided to run and get them in the training ground, Roy followed.
"Great timing these monsters have. At least were semi-prepared for them this time"
Riza nodded at his statement, during the run Roy put on his trademark gloves. Even if he didn't want to use his flames anymore; in this fight they would need them, especially if someone was using ice.
They arrived at the training grounds. "Major Armstrong! Trainie! We need you both!" Riza yelled to them.
At this point Gluttony was laying on the ground, Armstrong had placed him there after a failed tackle. "Thank gawd! Time to eat!" Gluttony got up and brushed off seeminly unnaffected by his opponents last attack. Gluttony waddled over to Riza.
"There will be time for that during the ride. We're needed in Liore, all of us"
Armstrong looked at her. "An emergency in Liore? What's going on?... is it Xing"
Riza shook her head. "No, its those monsters. I'll explain, just come on!" She ran off towards a parked military vehicle. And they all followed other than Gluttony which was confussed at what was happening. He didn't absorb things quick enough.
Riza noticed him just standing there so she ran back, she grab his arm, directing him in the direction of the vehicle. "You have to come with us. You'll get your meal in there"
Gluttony eyes grew. "Really!" So he ran towards it dragging Riza with him, until she let go and fell to the ground. Gluttony stopped and looked down. "Ok"
Riza nodded. "You may continue." She got up and walked towards the vehicle, Gluttony followed.
