A/N: : Well, this chapter was hard to write, but with this idea came a big responsibility, you will find out.
Also I want to thank you guys for more followings and reviews 😊.
TooLazyToLogin1: Oh, you will have your answer in few chapters. Though, it will be quite problematic to cover up mostly whole FMA character universe. ^^
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA or FMA B.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
In two minutes of time, soldiers were divided into two parts with equal numbers. Ten minutes went by, when hell went loose.
Soldiers in both parties were able to save lots of citizens, some of them were hurt, but nonetheless, save.
In the party, where Roy was in charge, they were able to save approximately two hundred of citizens.
Soldiers, hidden behind the barricades, were shooting at 'things' from a safe range, so they could see, who to shoot. Roy was the one commanding them around, sometimes stealing a glance at the second party, to see Lieutenant giving orders too.
Problem was, he couldn't use his flames here, he could hurt, or kill innocent people.
At this time, he was in the left part of the barricaded area, giving orders to the soldiers in charge of rescuing citizens.
"Captain, go with those three," he pointed at the soldiers around him, "and make an escort for the remaining people we were able to s-" Roy was cut short by a shrieking cry, coming from the right. Turning around, his eyes widened in horror.
From behind, there was a large party of those things coming to them, few of them already tasting the meat of his soldiers. Those soldiers, already in panic, tried to defend themselves by shooting, but to no avail, they weren't able to hit the mark. Blood was already soaking into the ground beneath them, colouring it, from grey, to red.
"Do not panic! You!" he pointed at the smaller part of the soldiers before him, "go help, kill those things on sight!"
"Yes sir!"
'Dammit, that part should have been covered by a general, how come this happened' Roy thought to himself as he made his way to the communication specialist, positioned in a safer zone. He looked up from his communication device to look at the Colonel Mustang, standing before him.
Roy was the first one to speak up. "Get me through to the Master Sergeant Kain Fuery"
Communication specialist before him brought his right hand to his forehead with words "Yes sir!" coming from his mouth and immediately get to work. Roy in the meantime glanced once more to the part, where the barricades were destroyed and his soldiers divided.
It was bad enough as it was already. Those things were closing in on them, from already 2 sites and he lost somehow nearly half of his fighting party.
'How the hell could this happen… '
"Excuse me sir" Roy, getting form his thoughts, turned around and grabbed a receiver from specialist's hands. Getting it to his ear, he started.
"Fuery, what happened to the party positioned 250 meters from our group to the west?" Roy waited for a few seconds before a reply came.
"We do not know sir." Roy's eyes narrowed at two things. First was the intel Fuery told him right now, second was the quality of signal received. They were in the central city, there shouldn't be any disruption to the signals. "You do not know?"
"No sir, we have lost all the contact with western groups" came the disrupted and panicked voice of Fuery.
Roy's eyes widened and his breathing stopped. He let his right arm fall to his side, with a receiver in his hand.
From behind him came a soldier, already saluting. "Sir, we are unable to hold them off any longer, there is no end to them, also, we already do not have enough bullets."
Roy turned around, recovering from the shock, he cursed to himself.
"Everyone! Fall back to the northern parts, move slowly and disable them on sight, we will narrow them. If you are able to, kill them with any sharp objects!" Roy shouted. Right after that he glanced around to see if Riza's party heard them. They had their hands full of work too, but they heard him, they were also moving slowly to the north.
Roy, trying to save as many people as possible, rised his right hand and snapped. Not at those things to burn them, it was more to narrow them into fewer lines.
What surprised him was those things, walking straight through the created flames, not minding the burning inferno before them.
As they moved back, they were able to grab and drag those, who survived the injuries with them, also clearing up the path.
Soon Riza's group connected to them as they were leaving the square and nearing the narrowed alleyway. "What happened sir? We were not able to contact other groups" asked Riza as they walked towards the center of the city, looking around to see the stability of their group.
"I was able to contact Fuery, he told me …. " he stopped talking, not even looking at her. Riza grew impatient of what was to come out of Colonel's mouth. "Sir?" Roy sighed and glanced at her. Riza saw that look he gave her, he was quite afraid. That was wrong. "They lost all the contact with the fighting parties in the west."
Riza's eyes widened as she looked in those obsidian ones, watching her. "I see" she told him, as she once more narrowed her eyes and watched the horror unfold before her.
After that Roy stopped walking and turned around, glancing at the direction of the square." We need to fall back a bit, otherwise we would be destroyed by them." After Roy finished that sentence, he snapped his fingers once more, creating the narrow passageway for those monsters.
After few minutes of falling back, bad message came in. Roy was using his alchemy in his left hand to create smaller flames and pinpoint them more precisely at those targets. Riza was the one covering his back once again and creating holes in their target's heads. Then one of the soldiers came with few words, that pretty much destroyed some of their chances. "Sir, we are out of bullets." At this Roy turned around to look at the saluting officer, just one step away from him. Then glancing at Riza, he received the same message.
At this, he snapped with his fingers on his right hand and created a large explosion, just before them. "Fall back!" He needed to save those soldiers, they could not afford to lose them. Just behind them, around 500 meters, was already a Central HQ. There would be enough bullets and personnel to destroy the remaining things in there.
All of them sped up at hearing words of their commanding officer.
"We will approach HQ from the southern part and cover that part with already more bullets from HQ. Don't divide, stay as one group!" Shouted Roy.
"Yes sir!"
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Breda, in the meantime was collecting some more intel, when all of sudden, shouting and explosion could be heard. People around him started to panic, running around like wild animals, trying to save their necks.
He grabbed the gun in his holster and took it out, holding it in both of his hands before him. As he neared the place he was able to hear those shouts from, he caught a glimpse of someone large, giving orders to soldiers around him.
Breda neared the group and started, while saluting. "Major Armstrong". The large man turned around "Second lieutenant Breda … " he stopped talking and ordered his men to fulfil their orders, at this those soldiers saluted and divided to the nearby houses.
"Where is Colonel Mustang?" Breda let his right hand fall down from the salute "he is fighting to the east from here sir."
"Hmm, I see." Now he turned around to Breda as they started walking towards the west. "Second Lieutenant, do you have some information about the fighting in the western part?"
Breda's eyes narrowed as he tightened the grip on his gun, now in his right hand. "No sir, we are unable to get through to th-"
He was interrupted by strange growling sounds, coming from the right of their position. Both of them immediately turned around, in fighting stances.
Something blue in the meantime came flying down to the floor, paying it no mind he glanced at the Major, with already naked upper part of his body, with something shiny flying all around him.
Rolling his eyes he glanced back at the things, already emerging from one of the alleyways.
Breda started shooting and Armstrong landing sharp objects into their heads with his alchemy. Suddenly, few of them approached from the left and Breda already only saw a blood, shooting out from Major's arm.
"What are you-" Major's fist landed right into the skull of that thing, sending it flying off into the other things approaching them.
Breda cleared the path immediately and approached Major Armstrong. "We need to get away sir" said Breda as he saw a blood, trickling down the big man's arm.
"Nonsense, young lieutenant" told Armstrong, straightening a bit.
Just as Breda turned around, with a frown, ready to shoot, two blond heads and a blue lightning, caught his eye.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
A/N: Well, I guess some of you will hate me for this. Next chapter, you guys should get more of the desired Royai. ^^
Anyway, reviews appreciated!
PS: For those wondering, it was stated in manga, Roy's alchemy in his hands differ. With his right one he creates large explosions. With his left, he creates smaller explosions, with those he is able to pinpoint better.
