I'm back~ Whahahah!
Um... so... yeah... disclaimer!
Anna: Amberintheflame does not, nor will ever, own Fullmetal Alchemist.
Amber: Yeah! If I was in charge, Hues wouldn't have died!
Lei: I'm quite sure all fans would say that.
Amber: Shut up!
Helen: Yeah Lei! Just because Amberintheflame owns all her oc's doesn't mean you can be like that. Jerk! useless!*Pounces on Lei*
Kelvin: Before you guys forget, we would like to thank ROBOTUNICORNZ, BleachBunneh, and elysenjazz for your reviews. We appreciate it!
Anna: So enjoy!
Helen's P.O.V
Finally I had done it!
I have found away to torment both my favorite toys at the same time.
Of course it took a bit of snooping through heaven's data base and a bit of illegal trade with devils but I have done it! Victory!
Of course, I still had to put my plan into action.
But not to worry. My target is quite stupid. I suppose I'm just unlucky then. All of the stupid ones seem to come to me.
Speaking of stupid, let's see how little Anna is doing.
Anna's P.O.V
"A-a-achoo!"
"What's wrong, got a cold?"
"No, I think someone's talking about me."
"What ever you say, student of mine."
"It's true!"
Today was just another bland day at Kelvin's shop. Or, as normal as you can get around this weird world.
And per usual, I was in the flower shop.
The day before, we got a huge shipping of flowers from an 'unknown source'. or, as unknown to my teacher; and I hope to keep it that way.
Let's just say that a certain sparkly major had found out about my new job and was so - quote on quote - "Overwhelmed with happiness" that he decided to ship us a special bunch of flowers.
A special bunch that took three trucks to carry.
So Kelvin had us wake up at the ungodly hours of daybreak to plant the 'anonymous kind flower guy' as we had decided to label him. As long as he never knows...
"Hey Anna, stop daydreaming and start planting. Our shop will be open for business any moment now."
"Yes teacher." I sigh. Sucks to be me, right.
Well, it could be worst.
"Hey you need any help there?"
I looked up to see a man with a navy military uniform on, along with black eyes and hair. He looked nothing like Armstrong, much to my happiness.
With a warm smile that I couldn't identify as fake yet, he looked at me, and then my boss.
"Oh, it's you. Sure." Kelvin approved nonchalantly, a twinge of dislike in his tone. how odd.
But this guy seemed nice enough, though. "Alright then."
I stared at him. That's the day I meet the flame alchemist, Roy Mustang.
"Hey! Are you really going to help, or just stand there?!"
For the past four hours, the military officer Roy Mustang, claiming to assist me and my teacher has been standing inside our shop, lazing around and hitting on any young girls between the age of twenty to thirty here.
Much to my disgust, he seemed to be pervert and a playboy, and a very successful playboy at that.
He had already gotten appointments with about ten girls. All at different places and times so the females were blissfully unaware of the man's bad nature.
Then again, he had his blunders too.
Like how just a while ago, he hit on a married woman with a dwarf for a husband. Lets just say Mustang didn't see said husband and asked the woman for a date. The Dwarf was not pleased. muhahaha...
"Hey, will you leave already?" I ask, annoyed.
He smirked at me "And what if I don't want to?" I twitched. One of Kelvin's biggest rules was not to lash out in the flower shop. No matter how much the other side may deserve it.
Luckily, I didn't have to. I could tell that my teacher's patience was growing thin as well with the man and his obvious dislike in the first place didn't help the Flame Alchemist one bit.
And as the man continued with his antics, it fueled the larger of the two's fire.
"Mustang." He called out, his voice flat but face obviously annoyed. "How long are you going to loiter in my shop, hurting business?" he asked, but the message was as clear as day. 'get out of my shop'
The object of this tone had noticed too.
But he didn't back down. "No, I was planing to assist you and your employee the whole day." he stated. I stared at him like he was crazy. 'Most likely is' I think, unwillingly going back to my memories of my only other military encounter.
Blech.
Teacher noticed his arrogance too. I could almost see the word bubble above his head, saying 'It's on bitch'
My teacher was epic at times. "Fine then. Let's have a little bet. You and my student here can duke it out with your alchemy. If she wins, you leave."
"Oh?" said the man with a raised eyebrow "What's in it for me if I win." Kelvin seemed to think it over.
"You can make Anna be your slave for a day. If she can't beat someone like you, she needs to be punished for not training more diligently." I stare at the exchange with wide eyes
"Whoa there! Don't I get a say in this?"
"No" they both chorus, glaring at each other.
"But wait!" I yell to the flower shop owner. "He's a professorial, right. you know, state alchemist."
"Right." he confirmed.
"And a Colonel in the military." I remember him saying that from a pick up line of his
"Yep."
"And you expect me, and amateur twelve year old kid with only a month and a half of experience, to battle him."
"You got it."
"And win?"
"And win."
"You'r crazy."
"Oh am I?" he asked
"YES!" I finally snap, pointing frantically at him
"Do you doubt my teaching skills?" a dark aura surrounded him. I backed up
"N-no but..."
"Then DEFEAT HIM!"
"YES SIR!
It was decided. An angry Kelvin is much more scary than some third degree burn. No matter how much the third degree burn that I will receive if going into this fight will be, Kelvin's wrath is much worst.
And my opponent's mad laughing in the background only fueled my motivation not to disobey or let down my master.
"Show me it wasn't a mistake to take you in." He told me. I nod "Yes sir!"
We were now in an abandoned field. It was barely noon but all three of us knew this would determine how we spent the rest of our day.
Me and the flame alchemist were standing a few feet away from each other, no wind at all. It was perfect.
The perfect setting for a battle like the one's I've read in my books. Who knew I really would be able to do it. And all it took was dying once.
Kelvin was standing in between us as referee.
The rules were simple; who ever quit or knocked the other out won. Of course I'm not planing on doing either. Neither was my opponent.
"Are you ready?" Kelvin asked both sides.
"Ready enough." I mutter, now nervous.
Roy smirked "Ready."
"Alright." Kevin dramatically paused "Go!"
I tore through the air towards my target, quickly dragging one of my feet along the dirt as I went. As I came to him I threw a hard punch at his head, he quickly avoided it and I jumped over him, rolling safely behind his as he snapped his fingers.
I whistle as I witnessed the flames spark on his glove and quickly move out to the spot I was at moments earlier.
Not giving the man anytime, I swung my leg under him in an attempt to trip his. He jumped out of the way and my toes connected with the line in the dirt I had drawn, bringing it closer to me along with my foot.
The state alchemist didn't notice. Rhythmically, we exchange blows, like dancing.
It was unusually fun.
Smirk still present on his face, he strode to the point I was at, a snap ready. He was underestimating me. But that was the only way I would be able to win.
"You'r good." He commented, all high and mighty. I silently continue my ground drawing, only allowing a quick "You too." to slip out of my mouth.
I had to stall a bit more.
He came at me in a blur. I quickly hit the ground to avoid his fire based attack but I didn't move fast enough.
Slowly standing up, I glare at him. Burn marks covered my arms and it hurt like hell. Mustang noticed too.
"He kid, want to give up. I'm surprised that didn't knock you out, but it still must hurt." Naw. I love these burns. They feel like a refreshing breeze. Not!
But I wasn't done yet. I was almost finished with my plan,
"I won't give up yet." I holler, more at myself than him. Limping, I push my leg over to the end of what I was making. A transmutation circle. "And now you've fallen into my trap!"
My hands slam down, quickly causing the circle to glow. Moving rock was the only thing I could do right now so I took advantage of the terrain to help me out.
"Shit!" he cursed as hard rock bars came up from the sides of the transmutation meeting in the middle over the military officer's head.
"Now Colonial, it's bad to curse." I scold smugly. And I deserved to be. I was proud of my work.
Even though the sides of the bars were uneven, they were sturdy. and even though if this guy had taken me seriously I would be dead, he didn't and I rose triumphant.
"Give up?" I ask, grinning. He smirked in return.
"You'r better than I thought. Reminds me of an alchemy brat I work with." I raise an eyebrow and he laughed. "It was a good attempt, but I know other alchemy besides my flames." My mouth hung open and I realized my flaw in this. The alchemy circle form the creation I made was still there.
"Crap!" I call out as he deformed my self made cage. Cursing in my head I prepare to fight. He starts to walk my way slowly and I become tense. This was my last struggle.
And just about a yard away from me, he does something very unexpected. He collapses.
And not by my hands.
Standing above the fallen Flame Alchemist was a woman no older than twenty in looks, but might be older. She had blond hair in a top knot and cold eyes which stared down at the man she had slammed her pistol handle into moments earlier. She wore a military uniform like his.
"Sir." she stated coldly "It's time to stop slacking off and get back to your office. There's work that still had to be done."
Then she turned to me and my master, who was now posted by my side to inspect the younger man's damage. Although I could tell he couldn't care less.
"I apologies for his rude behavior." she said, smiling a bit and ignoring her bloody superior. 'Is he really ok?' I think, gazing at him. He twitched and she stepped on his back. the twitching ceased.
"A-awesome." I say, breathless. It's official. this lady's my new idol. "Who are you?" I ask, knowing any later and I'll miss my chance "I'm Anna."
Her smile never wavered, as small as it may be. "Riza Hawkeye." She introduced. I nod, gazing at her with adoring eyes. She didn't seem to notice. Either that or just didn't care. "Well, I'll be going." and without another word, she left; pistol pocketed and dragging the playboy by the back of his shirt collar.
Kelvin chuckled 'Let's get back to the shop." he said and turned to me. "We can close up early. I want to talk to you about your idea." he gave a thoughtful expression "Even if it didn't work, it was a good one."
I jump excitedly. "I know right?! I can't believe that worked!" He chuckled and patted my head
"Yes, yes, my little student. Even if you'r alchemy was sloppy." "Hey" " There's hope for you yet." and for what seemed like the first time, I believed him.
Helen's P.O.V
"oh, Lei~" I sing happily, running over to him. He visibly shrunk back form my voice.
"What?" He asked. Light blocking his glasses to hide his slightly paranoid expression.
"Look at this~" I giggle, not phased at all by his coldness. Or his act at coldness.
From my back, I pulled a large gourd, an evil glint lingering in my eye. "H-hey." he backed up a step. "What's that?" I smirked and stepped closer to him.
"Why don't you find out~" I whisper and grin, showing slightly pointed teeth.
"N-now let's not be hasty." but it was to late. I popped open the special item in my hand and he was quickly taken into it.
Once the top was safely secure, I glance around. Good. No witnesses.
Heading back to my office, I hum joyfully.
Now all I had to do was send him to Anna.
Lei: Why?! Why are you doing this to me?!
Amber: Because my main character needs a side kick and I'm to lazy to go through the drama of getting her one form Amestris.
Anna: I'm cool with that.
Amber: Really?
Anna: Yeah. Anything to make my life a bit easier
Lei: Oi! As a fellow wimp, you'r supposed to agree with me!
Hawkeye: Pathetic...
Helen and Amber: Yep.
Lei: Hey author! This is obvious oc abuse! I demand a lawsuit.
Amber: I created you. You can't sue me!
Mustang: But I can!
Amber: Aw snap! Run away! *Runs*
Anna: A-anyways... tune in next time!
Preview:
Ok, done with that "Who are you?" I bluntly say. He flinched, sweating bullets.
"W-well, I'm Lei; your new brother."
