"I'm sorry but I have no idea, sir"
Roy was very frustrated, he couldn't find Riza or Gluttony anywhere. He continued to walk through the streets of Liore. Roy got to a 4 way road when suddenly a grey-blue thing rushed passed him. Mustang jumped back a bit to the sudden movement.
"HEY WAIT!" He yelled towards it instintively. He rushed after it. As he ran he notice small patches of ice around the ground, this was very strange to him as Liore was very warm today as it usually was.
He finally caught up to the creature, it turned around and face him gritting its sharp teeth. Even though the creature was no larger than a weasel it seemed very vicious. Suddenly from seeminly nowhere an array appeared in the air formed of some mysterious light, from the light form ice that shot out at Roy. Roy immediately clicked his fingers and caused his own alchemy. His flame easily melted the coming ice creating steam. Roy growled to himself, he would have to be very careful now if he didn't want to get hit. He ran towards the creature and it ran from him.
They both continue their alchemy while running. Both kept avading or blocking each other's attacks. Finally the tiny beast jumped into a building window, Roy followed. As he jump through the window he was struct by an ice spear of sort. He flinched, holding his arm were he had been struct. However because of that he was able to see exactly where the creature had ran.
He walked into a room, now this thing was cornered. He took a few steps fowards, the creature was in full view and was scratching at a wall, trying to get away most likely.
"I've caught you! Now give up or I'll be forced to take you down." Roy said, now wondering why he was speaking to it; chances were good it had no idea what he was saying.
The creature created another array, this one alot larger and more complex than the others. Roy gasped and ran behind a piece of furniture within the room. The room filled with ice. Thick ice covered the walls and now the doorway. Roy moved out after the attack, the room began to cool. He was now trapped with the creature of ice. How would he be able to win agaist an opponent of such opposing power?
Riza & co finally got back to Liore. "I'm going to write a report then we'll begin our search for that icerat creature"
Gluttony watched as Riza walked away. He sniffed the air, even though the Colonel was busy in wasn't going to prevent him from doing something while waiting. There had to be something he could bite into around other than people maybe a cat or a dog... maybe a horse.
Gluttony notice one of the roads had quite a bit of ice going down it. Gluttony sniffed the air the scent of that man with the weird last name... horsey or something was in the air and the scent of burning. This was particularily strange so he decided to point it out to his leader.
He waddle over to her. "Miss ... uhhh... Colonel. Saw ice over there, lots of ice. And... Horsey man's smell and the ground burnt"
Riza was quite confused. Gluttony didn't seem to have good english dialect at all and it made comprehending him difficult. "So you saw plenty of unmelted ice and the ground is burnt over that way. And could you try very hard to remember the actual name of the man you smelled"
Gluttony thought hard. "It is...is...uh... last name is kind of horse. Mustard I think"
Riza looks down and thought, her eyes then grew as things made sense now. "Forget the report troops. We have to find Coporal Mustang immediately"
Gluttony sweatdroped... so it was Mustang. Well he was closer this time. "We go now"
Riza nodded. "Now show me where you saw the ice"
He nodded and ran to the particular road. "This place right here!"
Riza looked down it, there was difinite sign of a struggle. Did Roy really meet up with that being already? If so he would need backup right away. "Search all the building for signs of ice. If you find one containing considerable amounts notify me. Is that clear"
"Yes ma'am." All the soldier said.
Riza watched them all leave and sighed stressfully. "That fool..."
