Chapter 9

This is Not Good

Point of View: Ed

Electra was mocking the Crimson Alchemist. It was actually pretty funny, because we all knew that this was pretty easy for her, but he obviously thought it was difficult. Electra was obviously ticked off, but she tried to hide it behind sarcasm.

She threw herself into another series of back flips as another explosion occurred right in front of her. She actually decided to get me down, sort of. She let my right arm free, and that was all because she had to dodge another explosion.

I transmuted myself down from the wall, just in time to see an explosion, right where Mustang had been standing. This, of course, ticked Electra off, and she sent a wave of water flying at the Crimson Alchemist, but he got away. I half expected Electra to follow, but she didn't, and neither did I. We had to get Mustang out of the hole he was in.

The hole was about four feet deep, and four feet wide. Electra looked down and yelled, "Is anything broken?"

"No, but my I think a sprained my ankle!" Mustang yelled back.

"Hang on I'm coming down!" Electra jumped down into the hole with ease and took one look at Mustang's ankle, "yeah, it's sprained."

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I've sprained my ankle before Ed, too many times to count." She replied, annoyed.

About twenty minutes later, Mustang was in bed, and Electra was asleep in a chair. The fight must have been exhausting. I was the only one awake until Hughes and Havoc entered the room.

"Hey Ed!" said Hughes.

"Do you know how Electra met the Crimson Alchemist?" I asked.

"Well, the story says that he was in love with her, but she hated, or rather hates him," said Havoc, "he tried to kill her a few times. If you heard about the balcony incident that happened just before the war, that was his fault."

"I think he was the one who made her go all gothic," said Hughes.

"No, she's been gothic for longer then that," said Havoc.

But my attention wandered. This was getting more and more complicated. First a girl who throws up blood, then I figured out that she's one of Mustang's best friends, then she's being stalked by the Crimson Alchemist. She was getting stranger and stranger.

There was more yet to come…
