Chapter 6 - The thiefs and the fights in the middle of the night
"Ugh, dammit. Why the hell was I stuck with these stupid idiots and this suckish mission? I'd rather be hanging myself right now then staying in this stupid place." Katrina muttered to herself as she walked down the isle's of the Central library.
It was getting late in the middle of the night and Katrina, Ed, and Al were still at the library checking out a few things, as everyone else has gone home.
Katrina was in charge of the east wing, Al was in charge of the west wing, and Ed was in charge of everything below.
Katrina sighed loudly to herself as she walked around, and slumped down on a table that was in the middle of the while east wing.
"Man. How long is this freakin gonna take? I have better things to do then waste my time sitting around here, doing nothing, but waiting for a couple of idiot theifs to show up and kill them, in this stupid darkness where nobody can even se----" Katrina started to say, but quickly cut off when she started to get an evil thought into her head.
"Wait a minute---dark. All alone. With only a little flashlight and hardly anything to protect them-----oooooo so absolutly perfect." She said, smirking evilly to herself as she then stood up.
"Hell to what everyone else has said. I'm killing them right here, right now. Besides this is the perfect setting---and they won't even know it's me---" Katrina said as she then quietly started walking on towards the other direction of the east wing the closet. The west wing.
Katrina snuck quietly through the book shelves, trying to locate the younger brother with her sensitive ears.
As she was, she suddenly heard some small quiet footsteps walking down the other side of the shelves, causing her to smirk, and quietly jump ontop of the book shelf. As she did, she quickly saw Al on the other side, looking all nervous, with his flashlight, looking around everywhere.
Katrina smirked even more, when she quickly smelt his fear in the air.((yes, if you guys seen in episode 4 and in the ps2 game Al gets the heeby jeebies when alone in a dark spooky place))
"Perfect---" She whispered, as she then started hiding in the shadows.
But as she was doing all that, poor Al was still standing around in the book shelves still waiting for the theif to come.
"Ok Al---don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You can do this. Just don't lose your cool, don't lose your cool----ugh! Man I wish brother were taking my place instead. I hate this part of the building---ahhh! What was that?!" Al suddenly shouted when quickly turning whenever hearing a small sound from nearby.
Al gulped, and shakily moved his flashlight through the darkness of the library,
Al had always hated being alone. Especially whenever it was being alone in a dark spooky place like this. He always has been for as long as he can remember.
But when finding it was nothing, Al sighed, and slowly turned back around and quietly started walking again.
"Ok, it was nothing Al. Nothing, but the sound of your own footsteps---heheheh---oi. I wonder how brother and Katrina are doing now. I bet brothers just lazing around somewhere, and Katrina's just---being brave and taking this all in and---and---wow---just thinking about her like this, is really starting to help me a bit." Al said blushing while looking down a bit.
"I wonder why though---oh well I guess. I can't be thinking about all of this anyway. I have to concentrate on our mission. I can't have my thoughts on brother---or---Katrina---even though she's really---she's really, really---" Al starts to say, getting even more blushy as he thought about Katrina.
But his thoughts were quickly interruppted by a loud yell from downstairs.
"UGH! ALPHONSE!!! KATRINA!!!!" Ed shouted loudly.
This really caused Al to snap out of his thoughts and come back to reality.
"Brother?!" Al shouted, about to run in his direction, but cut off when he heard a loud crash, followed by a loud muffle.
He quickly turned around, trying to see who it was. But as he did, he quickly saw Katrina in the floor, surrounded by lots of books on top of her, with a big bump on her head, and little swirls in her eyes.
"Katrina!" Al shouted running towards her.
"Ughhhh---" Katrina groaned, trying to recover from what had hapened.
Appearently, just as she was about to strike Al, with her amazingly cool, slash attack with her sharp nails, she had heard Ed scream and then Al suddenly run, causing her to miss and hit the floor instead dragging the book shelf books with her.
"Are you ok?!" Al shouted trying to help her.
"Ugh, what do you think, stupid?" Katrina mumbled, glaring up at him.
"Here! Come on! We gotta hurry up and get brother!" Al shouted as he quickly started helping her back on her feet, by wrapping his arms around her and pulling her up.
Katrina growled as he did and pushed him away.
"Alright, alright! Just don't touch me!" She shouted.
"Oh---sorry. But come on! Brother might be in trouble!" Al shouted as he quickly grabbed her hand and started dragging her on down the other end of the library.
"Hey!" Katrina shouted, annoyed as he was dragging her, but stopped whenever they both had finally made it on down the stairs and at the bottom to see Ed fighting some guy in a black mask with other black clothing.
"Brother!!" Al shouted as he quickly started running towards him.
"Ugh, Alphonse!!!" Ed shouted, looking back at him. But as he did, he quickly got distracted, causing him to get a nice blow in the face by the other guy.
"Brother!!!!!" Al shouted again, as he then clapped his hands and slammed them to the ground, forming a big brick wall between Ed and them from the other guy.
After, doing so, Al then quickly stood back up and started rushing over towards Ed, who was on the ground, as Katrina also followed him towards Ed.
"Ed! Are you ok?!" Al shouted as he made it to his brothers side.
"Ughhhh---yeah i'm fine. But that bastards gonna pay for what he did, to my arm!" Ed shouted.
Katrina and Al both looked at him.
"Arm?" Katrina questioned, lifting an eyebrow.
"Yes! That bastard nearly blew it off! And now it's hard for me to move it now!" Ed said growling, as he slowly tried moving his right arm.
"What the hell are you talking about?! Your arm looks just fine! I don't see any blood at all!" Katrina said bending down towards him and grabbing his right arm and pulling it up to her.
"Thats because it isn't a real arm." Ed mumbled, as he watched her pull his sleeve down, to reveal a cold metal sized arm.
Katrina stared at it, a little surprised that he had a metal limb.
"I never knew you had automail." She said looking down towards Ed.
"Yeah, well now you do. A metal arm AND leg." He muttered as he then started getting up, along with Al's help.
"A metal leg too?" Katrina asked.
"Yeah. But now's not the time to explain! Look!" Ed shouted pointing up.
Katrina and Al also looked up, to see the black masked guy climbing towards them, from the other side of the brick wall, his glowing red eyes gleaming through the eye slits of his mask.
Katrina growled when seeing him, and her, Ed and Al all took a step back.
"Well this guy, seems to be quit the little ape. Now I wonder what he'll be once I fight him!" Katrina said smirking, as she was about to pounce up on him, but quickly was pulled back by Ed.
"No! Wait a second! I'm having a good guess here, that he's not the only one in here!" Ed said.
"Then where the other one?" Al asked looking around.
"I don't know, but i'm guess thats why they've been so good at getting in here, without leaving their stupid prints to prove it." Ed said as he as well started looking around.
"Well there's no time, to start looking now, cause here's where the first guy comes!" Katrina shouted looking up, when she saw the guy suddenly falling on down towards them.
"Ugh, great! Al, I want you to quickly go on the other side and make a----Al!" Ed shouted when he quickly saw another dark figure behind Al, and them quickly grabbing Al, and suddenly jerking him back.
"Ahhhh, brother!!!" Al shouted as he quickly was pulled back into the darkness.
"No Alphonse!!!!" Ed shouted, about to go after him, untill Katrina stopped him.
"No, you idiot! He'll freakin get you too!!"
"I don't care, he's my brother!!!"
"Fine, if you wanna go ahead and die, then be my guest!!" She shouted.
Ed only growled and quickly started running on the other direction Al was pulled in.
But as he quickly ran in that direction, the guy that was high above, had quickly pounced right on top of Ed, sending them both to the ground.
"Ugh, Ed!" Katrina shouted running towards him.
"Ahhhh, get off of me you bastard!!!!" Ed shouted as he quickly transmuted his right arm into a blade and started using it to attack the guy on top of him.
The guy, didn't say anything as he jumped right off of Ed and clapped his hands together, and formed a spear from his hands, and started pointing it at Ed.
Ed growled as he did.
"Ugh, these bastards can use alchemy too?!" Ed shouted as he quickly started doing a backflip and got back up on his feet, just as the guy was about to attack him.
Katrina growled watching the scene, when she suddenly saw a bright blue light from behind her.
She quickly turned her head to see Al, coming out from the shadows, with, what looked like, a long sword forged from some books he had found, with the other guy coming out behind him, also with a spear and attacking Al.
"Ugh, dammit!" Katrina growled out, trying to figure out what she could do.
But then as she was, she suddenly heard a loud shouting coming from Ed, from behind.
Katrina quickly turned around to see, Ed on the ground, with millions of his automail pieces everywhere around him, and the guy hovering over him with the spear in his hand about to attack.
"Brother!!!" Al shouted, as he quickly used his sword to knock the other guy down quickly and then started running towards Ed, slashing his sword around the guy around Ed.
"Alphonse!!" Ed shouted looking up at his younger brother.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!" Al shouted as he quickly slashed his sword at the other guy, sending him backwards towards Katrina.
"Ugh hey! Al, you idiot! Don't send that bastard towards me!!" Katrina shouted as she quickly started running away in the other direction.
But as she did, she quickly felt someone grabbing her right ankle and then pulling it down, causing her to quickly trip on the ground with a loud thump.
"Ughhhh!!! Dammit!!!!" Katrina shouted looking down to see the guy that was attacking Ed earlier pulling her leg towards him.
"Katrina!!!!" Ed and Al shouted, as they were about to run after her, but were quickly stopped by the guy #2((ok yeah, i'm getting tiredof using 'other guy' so the guy who attacked Ed first is guy 1, and guy who attacked Al is guy 2)) one he shoved them back using his alchemy.
Katrina growled, as she looked up at them, and then looked back down at guy #1, to see him aiming his spear at her.
"I don't think so, buddy!!" She shouted as she used her other leg and quickly twisted her body around and kicked the guy right in the face, causing him to let go of her, as she then did a back flip and got back up on her legs again.
Katrina smirked.
"There, thats what you get, when you mess with---" She started to say, but quickly cut off whenever she saw the guy already up on his feet and chasing after her.
"Ah, dammit!!" Katrina shouted, as she then quickly started running away in the other direction, to where the darkest parts of the library lied.
She didn't turn back to see if he was still chasing after her, and didn't really give a care of he still was or not, as she quickly ran in between two book shelves, and then stopped, breathing heavily from all the running, as she slowly turned her head in both directions to see if the guy had followed her.
Katrina sighed, when finding no one there and leaned back against the book shelf.
"Ugh, dammit. Who are these bastards? Sure don't give up do they? They couldn't be the other humunculi, cause they wouldn't need masks and all that crap to hide themselves, not to mention I would of sensed them. So who the hell are they?" Katrina asked herself, unaware of the two dark arms reaching out from the shadows.
But then, at the last minute Katrina quickly sensed them and ran forward and did a front flip, dodging them.
"Ha! Your gonna have to do better than that, you bastard!" She shouted, smirking, and sticking her touge out at him.
But as she did, she quickly saw a bright blue light appearing in front of her, and then suddenly saw a big concrete hand reaching towards her, and then quickly grab her and pull her back, right up against a wall.
"Ahhhh!!" Katrina shouted whenever hitting the wall, and growled.
"Dam, bastard---" She muttered, as she slowly opened her eyes, to see the guy right in front of her, holding his spear.
Katrina growled at him, and snorted.
Is that the best you can do?! You honestly don't know who I am do you?!" She shouted, as she quickly clapped her hands from inside, forming a bright light and making the big hand quickly turn into some ice, and then using her strong legs, she then busted it, right into a million piece's, one nearly hitting the guy in the head.
Katrina smirked.
"See? I'm not so easy to take down. It might take you an entire lifetime just to figure out my weakness!" She said crossing your arms, at the guy.
But as she did, she quickly saw the red pair of eyes staring at hers, but then they suddenly vanish into the darkness.
"What the?" Katrina questioned, lifting an eyebrow, as she then started looking around.
"Where did that guy go----ahhhh!!!" Katrina shouted, when she quickly felt some sharp flying right through her side, causing her shirt to rip out, and big bloody mark to appear on her side.
Katrina growled and placed her hands on her side whenever looking behind her to see, nothing there at all.
"Ugh dammit. So you wanna play hide and seek huh? Well come at me all you want!" Katrina shouted, but as she did, sge quickly saw a big flash of light appearing behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, and dodge it, she quickly felt something zipping right past her legs, causing her to quickly yelp as she fell to the ground.
"Dammit! Thats it! Come on out here, and face me, and stop being such a damn coward!!!" Katrina shouted.
As she did, she quickly saw the dark figure appearing from infront of her, and holding his spear in front of him, like he was about to strike at her.
Katrina growled.
"Bastard. Your gonna pay for that. But luckily I don't die so easily!" She said as she quickly started standing up, her scars, and scratches suddenly healing.
Katrina suddenly heard the guy growling and then heard him yelling as he quickly started to attack her.
She smirked and started dodging all of his attacks quickly, as fast as she could. She watched his every move carefully, noting how slow he was getting everytime he was striking at her, causing her to smirk even more.
"Whats the matter? Getting tired already? I could go on for days." She said smirking as she did a backflip, and got into a fighting stance.
Katrina watched the guy still coming at her, with his spear, and then they continued on with the battle.
Minute after minute the guy seemed to be getting even slower, but then getting even quicker too. All this caused Katrina to smirk.
"Is this all you got? Might as well finish it, if your not even gonna---" She started to say, but quickly cut off whenever she felt the spear cutting across her stomach, and then suddenly another cut across her jeans.
"Ah! Damn!" Katrina shouted pulling back, as she saw big marks on herself.
"Ugh your gonna pay for that, you bastard!" Katrina shouted, attacking him, as she started using her footwork to do all the work.
It seemed like forever, as they both fought. Time passed quickly, as they both were dodging each other's moves. And all of this was starting to turn very annoying to Katrina.
"Ugh---dammit! I'm getting freaking sick of this!" Katrina shouted, as she quickly did a big kick in the air, just as the guy was about to attack, making her hit his spear right out of his hands.
Katrina growled, watching the spear flying up in the air, and then suddenly she watched it going back down with immense speed down at both of them. The guy, seemed to be too distracted to notice, as Katrina quickly started backing away as much as she could as the guy was about to come at her with his fists.
But just as he was about to, Katrina quickly saw the spear instantly come down on him and pierce right through his stomach, causing a loud scream across the building.
She quickly looked up at the guy to see him pinned right down on the ground, with blood ozzing from the spear, and seeing his black shirt soaking up all the blood the was coming through.
Katrina stood there for a moment, watching the guy whimpering in pain as he tried pulling the spear out, but found himself to weak to do so.
But as she stood there, for the longest time, a smirk suddenly came upon her lips as she then started walking towards the guy on the floor, crossing her arms, as she watched him in pain.
"See? Didn't I tell you, you couldn't beat me? I gave you warnings. Yet you still wouldn't listen. But oh well. I think you got what you deserve. Especially after you ruined my only shirt! Geese. I'm already out of money too." Katrina said sighing and shaking her head down at him.
The guy only looked up at her, his red glowing eyes suddenly fading as he then, muttered something, Katrina nearly understood, and then suddenly passed out, from all the blood loss.
Katrina sighed whenever she watched this.
"I told you." She mumbled. But just as she said that, she quickly started hearing her name being called out. She looked up to see Ed and Al running her way, also looking pretty beat up as they ran towards her.
"Katrina!! Are you ok?!" Al shouted as him and Ed finally made it over.
Katrina sighed.
"Yeah, i'm fine. I'm fine. Took me a while, but I finally took the bastard down." She said looking down at the guy below her.
Ed and Al also looked down, and took steps back whenever looking at the sight and then looked back up at Katrina.
"Y-You did that?" Ed asked.
"Yeah. Although it was his fault. He was to freakin distracted to see it was coming at him. So don't go blaming me as if I ment to kill the guy oppurpose." She said crossing her arms.
Al looked up at her, and looked everywhere around her to see a few cuts and scratches around her.
"A-Are you alright?" Al asked.
Katrina slowly nodded.
"Yeah just fine. Did you guys defeat that other guy too?"
"Yeah---we kinda also accidently killed him." Al said quietly while looking down.
"Well good. No more trouble of them now. Now what do we do now?" Katrina asked.
Ed sighed.
"I guess it's best if we wait untill morning and everyone comes back to get us. Untill then, we better wait here for a while, just incase nobody else comes." Ed mumbled as he collasped on the ground tiredly.
Katrina and Al both sighed and nodded, as you both soon did the same.
They pretty much sat there for the rest of the night, just waiting for the morning to come so they could finally leave this place and go back to Central. But as they were laying around, Katrina couldn't help, but think about the words that guy had muttered to her, before he had passed out.
'You devil---bitch---"
