A few months had passed since Ed, Al, and Kat had left Risembool. Their journey had ended them up in Dublith staying with Izumi for a while. It was about lunchtime and Kat was sitting cross-legged on the grass watching Izumi spare with Ed and Al for "old time's sake." When Izumi flipped Ed onto his butt, Kat burst into laughter. "Wow Ed! I've never seen you get beaten so badly before!" Her sentence was part laughter part words. She could barely speak she was laughing so hard. Ed sprinted over to her that they were face to face. "SHUT UP! I COULD BEAT YOU ANY DAY!" He yelled.
"WHY DO YO THINK YOU COULD BEAT ME! CAUSE I'M A GIRL?" She screeched back.
"COME ON, ED! ONE ON ONE!" After she finished she kicked Ed in the face. "Come on sissy boy! Ha Ha!" Ed got up and ran after her he tried to throw punches but they were all blocked. It seemed so easy for her. After the 10th punch was thrown, Kat got bored so she got down and tripped Ed before he knew where she'd gone. Kat pinned him to the ground with her foot, "Take that Fullmetal," she said, "Moonlight wins!" On the first day of their journey, they stopped in Central and Kat received her Alchemist name. She got the name Moonlight because of the moonlight green colored alchemy she has and that her alchemy gets somewhat stronger at night when the moon is out. Her talents are very unique. Al laugh, "I knew it! Brother! You got beaten by Kat!" Ed was to bus trying to get out from under Kat's foot to notice the comment his brother had made. "Kat!" Ed exclaimed, "let me GO!" Kat snickered at him then walked into the house. Izumi followed, "We're going to be making lunch," she said, "come in if you want food." Ed instantly reacted to the word food. "I'M STARVING!" He ran inside and Al followed.
While sitting at the table, Ed put his feet up. "Kaaaaaat~ When's the food gonna be dooooone~" He complained. "IT'LL BE READY WHEN IT'S READY! SO STOP COMPLAINING AND LET ME COOK!" Ed hid behind his chair and nodded.
Izumi set the table with bowls and spoons while Kat was putting the finishing ingredients to her Chicken Dumpling soup. She poured some into each bowl and they began eating. So, Kat," Izumi began,
"Ed's told me you're an alchemist to."
"Oh! Well, yes I am"
"I would like to see you in action. Would you mind showing me some of your skills after we eat?"
"I'd love to!"
After lunch Ed, Izumi and Kat went outside. Al stayed behind to clean up. Kat walked into the middle of the yard and sat down. "Why isn't she drawing a transmutation circle?" Ed asked Izumi. Izumi shrugged. Kat clapped her hands together and green sparks and light shot up from the ground and a clay vase popped up in between her hands. Kat stood up proud and smiling. Ed looked away. "When did you see it?" He asked. Kat's smile faded. "I tried to open the gate to bring my sister back from our world. My world. Not too long ago. Actually it was a few months ago in Risembool." Izumi went back inside, crying into her hands. Ed walked over to Kat, "What did yo-"
"Have to give up? A segment of my soul. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't want you worrying about me all the time." Kat walked over to him and hugged him,"I-I just don't want you to be upset with me is all. Are you mad?" Ed was blushing violently and pulled away. "W-Well, why would I be upset! There's no reason to be," He said looking away. Izumi walked over and hit Kat in the face. Kat fell to the ground and spit up some blood. "YOU IDIOT!" Izumi screamed, "AFTER ALL THAT THESE BOYS HAVE BEEN THROUGH YOU TURN AROUND AND DO THE SAME THING!" Ed put his hand on Izumi's shoulder. "Teacher, plea-" Izumi turned and hit Ed, "Let me teach her a lesson Edward." Izumi began beating Kat and Kat thought she deserved every last hit to the face and kick to the stomach. When Izumi had finished Kat was bleeding from her mouth and was badly bruised. She was on her hands and knees heavily breathing and trying to speak, "I-I'm sorry..Mrs. Curtis..I..." Izumi knelt down in front of her, "No, Not 'Mrs. Curtis.' Teacher. You're one of my students and always will be from now on." She stood up and walked into her house. Ed walked over and help Kat up. "We're leaving tomorrow," He said as they walked into the house. She nodded. I'm so sorry, Kat, Ed thought to himself, I promised myself that nothing like this would happen to you and look where we are now…
The next morning Kat came downstairs with her suitcase and walked into the kitchen to see Ed sitting on the counter and Izumi treating a wound on his side. She sighed, "What happend...?" Izmui answered, "He tripped over his feet and fell onto the burning stove." Kat looked at him and sighed, "Wow, Ed for a prodigy known all around the country you sure can be stupid somtimes." Al snicked. "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO ME-" Ed stopped and winced, "Mean..." Kat shook her head then suddenly she stood straight up and looked out the window. She had a worried look on her face. "I'll be waiting for you two out here. I need to look at something," She said running outside.
Ed and Al eventually came out and saw Kat looking at the sky worried and impatiently. "Everything alright, Kat?" Al asked. Kat nodded, "Ye-Yeah. Lets get going." They began walking down the road and to the train station.
Once on the train Kat yawned and leaned on the window. "I think I'm going to get some sleep before we get to Central," She said with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she heard a rustling type sound and something soft over her shoulders. Kat opened her eyes and saw red material. She knew that it was Ed's jacket automatically. "Thanks…" She whispered with a small smile on her face.
Eventually Ket fell asleep and Ed and Al sat accross from each other eating dumpings in silence. Al broke the silence, "You have a crush on Kat. Don't you, Brother." Ed almost choked on a dumpling, "N-NO! SHE'S JUST A FRIEND AL! DON'T EVEN GO THERE!" Al shrugged and looked over to Kat as she smiled in her sleep.
Kat woke up around 4:00 and Central was still a few hours away. Ed has arm around her and was holding her close as he slept. Kat moved and sat up. "Good Afternoon Kat!" Al said with a laugh. Kat smiled and stretched when her phone started to ring. "Hello? Moonlight Alchemist speaking." It was Roy, "Moonlight be careful in Central. There's a psycho that's escaped federal prison and he's got some MP's on his side."
"Ok, Roy. We'll keep a look out." Then she hung up. Ed woke up as the train stopped in Central.
When they got into the city the sun was setting and they didn't have anywhere to stay. "Aghh...We're never going to find a place before dark!" Ed complained. Kat smacked him in the head, "Shut up. It's not like we're gonna die if we don't find a place." As they walked down the road a few MP's and a man in a blood stained shirt came around the corner. That must be the killer Roy warned me about, Kat thought. The man and the MP's stopped in front of the three of them. The MP's loaded their guns and the man took out a sword from a sheath on his belt. Ed, Kat, and Al got ready for a fight. Ed transmuted his automail and Kat transmuted a cutlass out of the concrete. "What do you want? We have no business with you!" Ed yelled. The man began to laugh, "Oh! I don't want anything from you! I just want you and your girlfriend over there," He cocked his head towards Kat, "She pretty hot, don't you think?" He snickered. Ed growled, "You're disgusting…" That's when Ed charged into the crowd of people screaming at the man, Al and Kat followed him. This is when the fighting began. The MP's started firing when Ed and Al attacked them. Kat went after the man. His sword had cut her many times on her waist and her face. Just then, when she let her guard down he made a deep cut in her left shoulder. She screamed in pain and fought even harder than before.
Al was in the middle of all the MP's fighting them off with Ed at his side. Kat knocked out the man with a kick to the head. She was looking at the man wondering if she should kill him or not when a MP stood at least 10 feet away from her. His gun was pulled up and his finger was on the trigger. Kat stared at him with wide eyes and nowhere to run. Ed tried to get through but it was too late. The MP pulled the trigger.
