War:
Chapter 3:
Last Time:
He was a second to late, for just when he looked the man he had stuck down at the beginning of the fight had grabbed his gun a pointed it at…
"Ed! Look out behind you!"
He was too late. For when he had cried out his warning the man had shot. He watched as the bullet soared through the air in slow motion and then into Ed's chest only to come back out the other side after it had gone through. With a surprised look on his face, Ed fell at the same slow speed. Time had stopped.
Anger boiling up inside of him, Roy held back nothing as he ruthlessly fired shot after shot of flame at every enemy within range. As he did so, he noticed Lt. Riggs come and pick up Ed as Hawkeye started shooting at the rebels as well. Giving a curt nod, Riggs ran around the side of the train and down several cars before entering one. The soldiers inside were all very green having been drafted for the war and having never seen such as this. Most had seen too many or too few years and did not know how to deal with the commotion and the possibility f death. So, as most could imagine, they had no idea how to react when Ed was carried in bleeding profusely.
"Hang on, sir!" Riggs said to his commanding officer as he lay him down on an empty bench. Ed groaned at the movement. "Someone bring a first aid kit!" The panicked Lt. shouted to the soldiers standing behind him. He then sat to work removing Ed's military jacket and shirt, relieved that the bullet had exited the wound. After closer observation, he also noticed that the bullet had missed any major organs and had instead pierced Ed's shoulder muscle and had exited between the bones, breaking nothing. It had, however, punctured a very large vein and that was causing him to lose a lot of blood, seriously putting his life in danger if it couldn't be sealed soon. There was a noise and he door slammed, brining with it the soldier who had rushed out to get the first aid kit.
Hang on a little longer, Ed!" Riggs said to his groggy commanding officer who had started to close his eyes, causing everything to tunnel into black.
Ed woke up to a dull, but painful, throbbing in both his head and his shoulder. Opening his eyes, he noticed that he was lying in a large military tent in God knows where. Blinking several times, Ed attempted to sit up, only to not have enough strength to sit up more than halfway. Looking down, he saw that his shoulder was wrapped heavily in gauze bandages. Then it all came back. He was shot by one of the rebels who were trying to hijack the train that the military was using for transport. But he certainty wasn't on a train now… so where was he. As if in a response to his question, the tent flap lifted to revel Mustang and Riggs, the latter of which ran over to him and saluted.
"It's nice to see you awake again, sir!" He said dropping the salute. Roy came in and stood beside his bed as well.
"So, Fullmetal, how are you feeling?"
Putting on his best 'I can never feel pain' face, Ed responded with, "Just peachy, what about you?" In his most sarcastic tone as well. Roy smiled. If Ed could still smart off, he was going to make a full recovery.
"Well that's good. You've had enough vacation time now as it is. It was a bout time for you to wake up." Ed, who had been trying to, inconspicuously (and not succeedingly), sit up, stopped and looked over at Roy.
"How long was I out?"
"Only about two and a half days." Ed responded with a blink, his mouth forming a silent 'oh' of comprehension.
"What's our status?" Ed asked, looking from Roy to Riggs waiting for an answer.
"We're close to the Drachma border and plan to infiltrate in five days. We have to wait for all the plans to be completely prepared and for you to heal of course. So until then, get plenty of rest. Right now I have some planning to get to. I'll be by later." Both Roy and Riggs left the tent leaving Ed behind to go back to sleep and ponder the upcoming battle.
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I felt no inspiration for this story for a long time and then I went back and re-read it only to notice how poorly written it was. I'll have to fix that…
