Chapter 08: Tyson's final decision

Akaraiece- Tyson's room

Three weeks have passed since Central was attacked by the army and three weeks since he lived on the Akaraiece. All Tyson did was help people when they brake things, lay on his bed thinking about his dad and mom and also he was trying to get Kaitie to notice him.

But at the moment Tyson was thinking about the battle in Central. 'I wonder what mom, dad and Uncle Al are doing at Resembool?' Tyson thought.

Tyson lay on his bed for a couple more seconds until he heard a knock on the door. "Tyson, can I come in?" Kaitie asked.

Tyson got up from his bed and started to panic. "Um- uh yeah sure you can come in." Tyson replied then heard thanks from behind the door then it opened.

It was 6:30 in the morning, on the Akaraiece you aren't aloud to get up until 7:30 AM; she could get in trouble for that.

"Hey Tyson I made you something to eat." Kaitie explained blushing. "T-thanks Kaitie, um where did you make this?" Tyson asked.

"I snuck into the kitchen and made it for you." Kaitie explained. "These are good pancakes Kaitie." Tyson complemented. "Thanks" Kaitie responded.

"Well I better get going" Kaitie exclaimed. "Yeah" Tyson responded.

Kaitie left the room with her heart pounding and her face red as a tomato 'I should do something else to win his heart.' Kaitie thought then started to walk back to her room.

By the time she got to her room the lights were off and Tareo was standing at the door way.

'Where were you?" Tareo asked. "I went for a walk!" She lied. "Well you know you can't walk around until 7:30, you can get caught!" Tareo exclaimed.

"Yes, I know Tareo."

Tyson's room

"Why did she make me those pancakes?" Tyson asked himself. "I wonder if I should just confess to her." Tyson exclaimed. "Love is so complicated." Tyson exclaimed. "I wonder if she likes me."

Resembool cells

"Hey you two get a move on!" A guard yelled. Edward and Alphonse were building towers made of wood; they had to sleep in tents beside the tower so neither of them had seen Winry.

"May I speak Colonel Breet?" Edward asked. "You may speak." He replied. "Why are we going into the mines and not camping beside the tower?" Edward questioned. "Because we're getting another group to work on the tower so you two are sleeping in the mines." Breet explained.

Once they got to their hall then to their cells, the guards opened the doors and pushed Edward into one, then Alphonse into the opposite from Edward's.

The door got closed behind Edward and Alphonse and these were not bar doors they were completely stone.

"EDWARD!" A familiar voice shouted. "Winry" Edward said back. Winry ran right into Edward to hold him really tight. "I was worried about you!" She cried.

Edward smiled and kissed her on the lips then Winry returned the kiss and she let go of Edward. "Ed, I hear about what happened at Central with you." She exclaimed.

"About Tyson and Al?" Edward asked. "Yes" She responded.

"Well I did see Tyson and Al in Central, Alphonse got captured like I did and Tyson got away with Roy and those guys, but I know why the army has attacked Resembool and Central." Edward explained.

"Because they're after Tyson…" Winry finished. "I wished none of have happened!" Edward continued. "Me too"

"But Ed, how much did Tyson grow?" Winry asked. Edward smiled and answered "He's a lot taller than me when I was 12, but I'd he's almost big as us."

"Really?" She said. "Yeah and I think I'm going to bed, I'm really tired." Edward said.

"I think I'll go to bed too." She said "Okay" Edward replied.

They both got into the bed and Winry told him that they had to get up in an hour but Edward was asleep as soon he got under the covers. Winry smiled and put her head on his chest, felling warm and safe.

Resembool main office

The Fuhrer was sitting in his chair, focusing his mind at what at Central, he was frustrated he needed a way to get Tyson, he knew the difficulties but his thinking was cut off from a nock on the door.

"Come in." He exclaimed. Colonel Darious walked in and sat down on a chair in front of the Fuhrer's desk. "Hello sir, this conversation his about Tyson Elric!" Ray said. "I'm listening" He replied.

"This may upset you but I sent out a squad to try to capture Tyson Elric, they are tailing the large tank for a day now and have been waiting for Tyson to let his guard down." Darious explained.

"Tell you what I'm not upset I'm sort of glad you did that but this time you must kill him, if you manage to capture him he'll destroy our factory here, so I'm ordering you to keep them on Elric's tail." The Fuhrer ordered.

"Yes sir I'll tell the soldiers to keep tailing Tyson." Darious replied.

"Good! Now the day for the slaves is about to begin and give Edward Elric another punishment for lying about his last name." He added.

Akaraiece Bridge

It was 8:00 AM and everyone finished breakfast and started doing their daily stuff, Tyson was in the hanger looking at this thing the mechanic is building.

"So what is exactly this thing you're building anyway?" Tyson asked. "It's something for the combat fighters." The mechanic said.

"But what makes you think that we are going to be attacked? I mean we haven't encountered any army in black clothing in three weeks." Tyson replied.

"Well they are bound to come and attack us some time, I mean since they are after the thing you call a curse." He responded then Tyson looked down at the floor with shame, he really NEVER wanted to be reminded of the "curse" but people kept talking about it on the Akaraiece so he couldn't really avoid it.

"Hey Tyson you want to open the gate for the hanger for me?" He said. "Sure" He responded and started walking towards the door switch, he pulled the stick down and the drop bridge opened slowly. After he did that light flooded in the room and the mechanic turned off the lights.

Tyson you got to go to the bridge in five minutes, Roy wants to talk to you about something." He shouted. "Okay I'll go now." Tyson yelled back.

'I wonder what this is about.' He thought then left the hanger to the bridge.

Resembool mines

"HEY AL…" Edward yelled from the distance, "Hey brother hmm what happens now?" Alphonse asked. "We got to do some work, looks like mining today." Edward explained.

"Why don't you try using Alchemy? You could make a giant smoky fog that'll cover the guard's vision." Alphonse suggested.

"That won't work; you see all of these soldiers aren't from this world, the Fuhrer managed to find a way to travel to the other side of the gate, but since there is no gate he ripped a hole threw time and space to get to the other side, that's were he gets the soldiers and the air from their world is striking our world and if I try to do alchemy it will take a while to transmute something, the guards will see me before I finishing transmuting."

"Really" Alphonse replied. "Yes-"Edward was cut off by a guard yelling to get people working until a guard walked over to Edward and Winry.

"Hey you two, the Fuhrer wants to talk to you! Now hurry up!" The guard yelled.

Resembool office

"Sir, I got the two slaves you ordered me to get." The guard said in front of his desk.

"Good you may go now." He responded. The guard walked out of the room went to the mines then Edward and Winry stepped up to speak with him.

"Hello Edward 'Elric' and Winry 'Elric' what's with the news I've heard about your son, Tyson?" He asked sarcastically.

Edward didn't respond neither did Winry until the Fuhrer spoke up again. "You know that he is with the giant tank and our men are following the tank. Don't you?"

"What? What do you mean some soldiers are chasing Tyson?" Edward yelled. "It's simple, we are going to wait until the tank stops and then strike Tyson when he has his guard down." He continued.

"What are you going to do if you find and manage to get really close?" Winry asked. "We'll kill him."

Edward got really angry of what he just said then punched him with his right arm hard in the face.

"Heh, you can't do anything about it now, they are just waiting for the proper moment to kill him and the rest on the tank."

"You bastard!"

Akaraiece

"Hey Roy, you said you wanted to see me?" Tyson said.

"Yes I did, Tyson there is a group of soldiers in black clothing outside. I bet they're after you, they've been following us for days so keep your guard up." He warned.

"Yes I will." Tyson said. "Oh yeah and Tyson, you may want to stay near Kaitie and Tareo to make sure they'll be safe." Roy said.

Tyson blushed and said "alright" then left the Bridge.

'So I get to be near Kaitie hurray!' He thought.

When Tyson got to Kaitie and Tareo's room he knocked on the door. "Hey, Kaitie and Tareo can I come in?" Tyson asked.

Kaitie's heart was racing with Tyson knocked on the door she just said a little "yes" and Tyson opened the door.

"Hey Kaitie um Roy wants you two to follow me around the Akaraiece now, it looks like there will be an ambush so you got to come with me." Tyson explained.

"Okay sure we'll follow you and Kaitie has something to tell you too." Tareo said.

"Okay so where do two want to be?" Tyson asked. "Here is fine you can have a snake as well." Kaitie said.

"Um no thanks I'm not hungry." Tyson said then started to walk towards Kaitie then heard a big crash!

The Akaraiece started shacking then Tareo fell off the bed she was sitting on and rolled out of the room.

"TAREO!" Kaitie screamed. "Damnit, Kaitie you can't go or else you'll get hurt,

I'll try using Alchemy to save her!" Tyson exclaimed then drawed a circle since he had nothing sharp to make himself bleed.

He transmuted a wall so Tareo couldn't role any where else. "Thanks Tyson" Tareo thanked. "No problem, I got to go somewhere. See you later." Tyson then started running down the hallway.

"Why did he just leave?" Kaitie asked herself.

Outside Akaraiece

A squad of 30 soldiers in black was outside the Akaraiece getting out rockets guns and all that stuff, waiting for the right moment to fire.

"When do we shoot?" A soldier Asked, "In 43 seconds" Tabashi answered back.

Akaraiece Bridge

"Roy what was that crash?" Tyson asked. "I don't know it sounds like a big rock or something, I don't think we got hit yet." Roy replied.

"HEY LOOK OUT THE ROCKET IS GOING TO HIT YOU GUYS!" Tyson yelled.

An explosion filled up the bridge when flames burst out of the bridge and the Akaraiece started to catch of fire.

"Tyson were are you?" Roy shouted out. "Over here." Tyson said weakly under a wall that's on fire.

Roy put the fire out with a water circle on his hand and he already put out the flames in the Bridge.

"Tyson are you okay?" Roy questioned, "Yeah, how's everyone else?" Tyson asked. "They're alright." He answered.

"I'm going to get out of the Akaraiece and run away." Tyson exclaimed. "W-why? What would that do any good?" Roy asked.

"If I run away they won't attack the Akaraiece anymore." He explained. "Okay, I guess by for now." Roy said. "Don't worry I'll see you again soon." Tyson exclaimed. "Yeah that's true, so bye." Roy exclaimed.

Akaraiece Hanger

"Okay Tyson are you ready?" A soldier asked. "Yes I am" He responded.

"Okay I'm going to sling shot you out into the field." He said. "Fire" Tyson asked then the ropes went forward and Tyson was in the air taking out a sword nice and ready.
