I love it when I get new reviewers! And I love it when people that like my fic keep reviewing every chapter ^^. You're too sweet people. I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't for you!
I'm going to stop rambling and get into the story :D.

Note: No, I don't own it.

"We need to climb on those poles." Riza explained.

"Like you did when you retrieved the arrow!" Falman exclaimed.

"Yup. Do you have anything to hold on?"
They took off their capes and wrapped them around the poles, while the blonde used her sash as support.

Right when they were about to climb, someone tapped Riza on the shoulder. She turned around and saw Roy.

He also took his cape off and wrapped it around the pole, smiling at her. She felt her heart pound louder, just for a few seconds. Then she regained her cool attitude.

"Let's go"
They climbed and managed to enter the castle. Roy went ahead to see how the palace looked like, while Riza and the others were going to find some disguise.

"You are a genius!" Havoc exclaimed. "I wish Breda was here with us, to meet such an awesome girl"
"Who's Breda?" Riza asked.

"A good friend we have", replied Falman. "But he's back home. He didn't come to war, his older brother did"
"Whatever, let's get to action! Do you know where can we find some clothes?" Jean asked.

"I think I have an idea. Look, see that large door over there?" Riza said and they nodded. "I just saw a blonde woman enter there. She seemed like a princess or something. Maybe if we tell her how urgent the situation is, she'll help."
They agreed and knocked at the door.

"What?" came an angry scream from behind the door.

"Uhm, I don't think she wants visitors." Fuery said understanding.

"I don't give a shit about what she wants!" Riza growled making the men get a few steps back. Realizing she was a woman only made them like her more, and the fact that she kept the tough attitude was even better. "Miss Armstrong! We need your help! The emperor is in danger!"
The door opened at once, relieving them a tall blonde woman, with long hair, and ice cold eyes.

"Oh, so my foolish brother is in trouble? How can I help?" she said rolling her blue eyes.

"We need some of your clothes, uhm, your majesty" Riza talked for them, the men being to smitten by the woman's appearance.

"What for?"
"They need to look like concubines."
"And who the fuck are you?"
Havoc and his friends looked at each other. Those two were two tough, swearing, beautiful young women. And they felt like worms compared to them.

"My name is Riza Hawkeye"

"Olivier Armstrong, nice to meet you" the woman said without a smile. "I've heard about your father"
"That is very nice, but we're kind of in a hurry. We don't want the emperor killed. Could you give us some clothes…your majesty?"
"And fruits. They might want to look like they have breasts" the princess added.
"Yes, that would be lovely"
Olivier brought them what they needed and let them change in her room.

"Three filthy men are taking their miserable clothes off in my room." she said disgusted, but before Riza could reply with something acrid, she added "I was in love with a soldier too. But I can't marry him. I have to be stuck in this palace while he's working his ass off in battle. I hate these laws. I don't get it how you survived, or how you even had the courage to join this crazy circus, but I admire you. I tried to join the army too, you know. But my father stopped me" Olivier said, her voice dripping venom.

"I am sorry" Riza said politely. "But I can assure you it's not so easy. So maybe it's better you stood home"
Olivier sniffed.

"Please. I could face twenty armies. I'd do anything, just to leave this place"
Right then Havoc, Fuery and Falman appeared, dressed like women. They had fruits under their clothes, so they would look like they have breasts.

"Wonderful. No go kick their asses" Olivier said, they thanked the princess and left.

"That's one heck of a woman" Havoc said.

…..

Meanwhile, Archer and Kimbley got the emperor to the highest balcony, followed closely by Wrath.

"Guard the door" Bradley told his men, who obeyed.

"Your walls and armies have fallen. Now it's your turn" the Homunculi said with his usual apparent calm. "Bow to me" he said casual.

…..

Archer and Kimbley joined Gluttony, Envy and the other Huns at the door. After Mustang and his men climbed on the poles, they decided to enter to safety and take care of the place from inside. All the people from the castle were taken to the dungeons.

Luckily for Riza, this happened after they talked to Olivier, who played along and pretended to know nothing. She just went to the dungeons like everyone else, hoping the woman she had just met was good enough at what she was doing.

"Ah this is too easy" Envy smirked.

"Don't relax too much, tramp" Kimbley said coldly.

"Shut up Crimson Shit!" Envy argued. "They looked so dumb when I turned back from that hawk! It was like they never saw a man transform before!" he laughed madly.

"They haven't" replied Archer stiff.

"I am hungry!" Gluttony said.

"They are sure up to something. And if they are, I am going to use this little gift Wrath gave me." Kimbley sniffed.
"Don't you dare waste the philosopher's stone on those idiots!" Envy argued.

They heard some noises and turned around.

Three women were standing there.

"Concubines" Archer said greedy.

"Ugly concubines" replied Envy bored. "Don't you have anything ales in mind but fucking? You are going to have any woman you want after we end this!"

While he was talking, Mustang jumped from behind a pole and kicked Envy. Right then Riza attacked Gluttony, Edward flew to fight some Huns. Havoc, Fuery and Falman got the others.

Kimbley was about to swallow his philosopher's stone, when Havoc punched him and grabbed the stone.

Roy was using as much fire alchemy as he could, using the things around. He couldn't create flame from nothing, since he didn't know the secret of fire alchemy, but he at least turned the rusty wood into flamed weapons.

Riza kept hitting Gluttony, with no effect. She decided to use her mind if her strength didn't work, so she went in the closest balcony. Gluttony followed her. She acrobatically jumped on the edge of the balcony, and the Homunculi tried to grab her.

She managed to jump on the roof, and Gluttony tried to catch her, falling from the balcony. He fell all the way down and lost conscious on the ground.

All the people gathered in the square were starring at the show in shock. How was this possible? Their emperor was in danger!

But none of them was doing anything. They were too scared. Besides they couldn't enter the castle, they didn't have the soldiers' training.

Riza smirked and went on back on the balcony.

"Serves him right for wanting to hit a woman" she said and took her sword out, ready to kill some other Huns.

Edward managed to kill some, while Roy was still having a hard time with Envy.

The man kept changing his appearance, and after he saw Riza he decided to turn into her.

Roy froze. There was a perfect copy of Al…Riza, starring and smirking at him. He couldn't hit. He couldn't. Right then, the real Riza came from behind and punched Envy's nose.

He turned back to his from, bleeding.

"You bitch! I'll teach you…"

But he never got the chance to finish his sentence. Roy used one of his latest flamed weapons to hit him. Hard.

"Good job" Riza appreciated, as Envy fell on the floor. "He was getting on my nerves"
"Agree" Mustang said, and they turned back to back to fight. "We need to get to the emperor"
"I know."
"Let's go" he said, and they left the matter in the other's hands.

Roy started going up the stairs, to the highest balcony, when a Hun stopped Riza's way.

"Roy, GO!" she said and started fighting her enemy. He nodded and kept walking.

More like running.

….

"I tire of your arrogance, old man" Wrath said, still seeming calm. "Bow to me" he said getting one of his swords out.

"No matter how the wind howls, the mountain can not bow to it" Armstrong said looking straight ahead, at the dark sky.

"Then you'll kneel in pieces." Wrath said getting ready to kill the emperor.

Roy jumped and blocked Wrath's attack with his sword.

'Right in time' he thought.

Mustang fought the Homunculi, their sword to sword combat dangerously close to the edge of the balcony. They ended up fighting on the floor, and Wrath was at the top of Roy, threatening to kill him.

Roy punched him in the face, just to gather some time to regain his strength.

"Fuery, take the emperor!" Riza ordered as she and the soldiers entered the balcony.

The Huns downstairs were finished. Edward was just taking care of the last ones.

Fuery ran to help the Emperor get away.

"Sorry, your majesty" he said, bowed, and took the emperor with Falman, and they ran to a column. On it there was attached a rope with lamps. It was strong enough to hold two men, so Fuery and the emperor went first, followed closely by Falman.

"No!" Bradley shouted angrily.

He hit Roy and went towards the rope. Riza was just trying to get on it, when she saw the Homunculi. She quickly cut the rope, so she would stop his closest way to the emperor.

He didn't manage to grab it, and the crowd cheered. Riza went straight to Roy, who was wounded on the floor.

"No!" Wrath shouted again as he realized he couldn't see the emperor among the mass of people.

Riza tried to hold Roy up, but he was heavy. He saw Wrath approached, and his heart acted for himself. He asked Riza to leave and took his knife out.

She started to walk away, when Bradley threw Roy's knife away and punched him. She stopped frozen.

"You!" the Homunculi accused grabbing his collar. "You took away my victory!"
Riza threw her shoe to hit Wrath's head and he turned around.

"No! I did!" she exclaimed and pulled her hair back, like she had it in the mountain. Bradley starred.

He knew the woman seemed familiar.

"The soldier from the mountains" he stated calmly. He dropped Roy and started after the blonde.

She put her shoe on and started running.

'Damn, damn, damn, damn! Why didn't I think before I acted?'

'Because he was in danger' she mentally replied herself, and kept running down the hall.

Thank God for her slim built. She was easier than Wrath, she was faster, and, she thought, smarter. Many advantages. But he was stronger and had the ultimate eye. Damn.

"So what's the plan?" Edward asked running along with her.

'Where did he come from? ' she wondered, but was happy to have someone with her.

"Ummm"

"You don't have a plan?" the dragon asked shocked.

"Hey, I'm making this up as I go…" she said as she saw the firework tower.

Wrath was getting closer.

She needed to act. Now.

"Edward."
"Yes, your improvising majesty?"
"Shut up, little one" she replied still running, "Can you fly?"
"Obviously not! But I can perform alchemy!"
"Great, get yourself some wings and go to the firework tower."

"Why?"
"Because tonight we are celebrating" she winked and stopped running.

Dum dum xD.

So there will be the next chapter and than the epilogue xD. So kind of two left.

I hope you liked it! Please review~

Sorry for Envy's lame ending, but I wanted Roy to give him the last punch + I couldn't make it TOO long :D.

So, yeah, I had to add Olivier. She's too awesome. If you don't recognize her, she's from Brotherhood verse and she's Armstrong's sister. It's up to you who the 'soldier' is: Buccaneer or Miles xD.

Kisses, Ana.
