I loved it how you thought about who was Olivier's soldier. I for one like the idea of her and Miles, but Buccaneer is just as good xD.

I think you already got it, but I don't own anyone T_T

Here we go:

Just as Edward flew away with his just created wings, Wrath broke the door and approached Riza REALLY fast, swinging his sword around.

She gasped and started running down the hall once again. Wrath's destructive sword took down several decorations from the imperial hall, but the blonde soldier didn't really give a damn about it right then. She was more worried about saving her own ass.

The sword hit a pole, bringing it down. As it fell it made a huge hole in the wall. Riza saw the huge mass of people, very small, at a very big distance. They were high up.

She had an idea. This would be even better than her initial plan.

It wasn't like she had a choice anyway, the hall was coming to a dead ending.

She jumped on the pole, followed closely by Bradley.

Riza once again grabbed the edge of the roof and climbed on it, just like she did with Gluttony. But this time she was staying up. Bradley was far more agile than Gluttony, so he quickly climbed after her. She walked on the narrow top of the roof, with no weapon with her.

'Ed, hurry up…' she mentally begged. Damn, she could die there if he didn't hurry.

Edward was just landing on the tower with fireworks.

He took some fireworks and stood steady. He needed to aim perfectly.

Riza was on the crest of the roof, and Wrath was near her.

"Look on the roof!" a man from the ground shouted.

'No shit, Sherlock' Riza thought, trying to keep her cool. 'Don't look down, don't look down. Whatever you do don't look down' she ordered herself.

He was close, swinging his sword like it was a toy one. She needed to defend herself. But with what?
The only thing she had with her was her fan.

'Good enough'

"It looks like you're out of ideas" the one eyed man smirked.

He lunged with his sword towards her, and pierced her fan. She quickly closed it, taking his sword in one smart move. As she twisted the fan, he lost his grip.

Right then Edward lighted the firework.

"Here we go…." He mumbled satisfied.

Riza, who was using Wrath's sword as a lever, kicked him in the face. He lost his balance and fell on his knees. She threw his sword on his cape, pinning him to the roof, than lied flat and let herself fall on the left side of the roof.

Bradley looked angrily at her. How dare she mock him like that?
But he heard a noise. He turned around and saw a lighted firework flying towards him, with all speed ahead.

It hit him in the belly, sending him right into the firework tower, and made it explode.

Thousands of fireworks flew up in the sky, as a last sign of Wrath's existence, and the crowd cheered.

Riza, who was hanging on the edge of the roof, let go. Right then Roy was walking under it, to see closely what happened with Wrath.

Riza fell on him and they both ended up on the ground.

She was at the top of him, and Roy recognized her scent in a second. She was all right. She didn't fall. He had been so worried! He was lying there injured, and when he got up Riza or Wrath were nowhere.

He went outside and saw along with everyone else the fight on the roof. She was incredible! She technically used a fan to defeat the king of Homunculi!
He wanted to keep her in his arms all day, but she got up and apologized.

"That was a deliberate attempt to my life!" Yoki said walking fast towards Riza and Roy. "Where is she? Now she's done it. What a mess!"
Riza looked at him with big eyes. Did he just say she created a mess? What about the 'killed the leader of Homunculi' part?

Roy, Havoc, Fuery, Falman and some other soldiers stood in front of her, in a protective way.

"Step aside, that creature's not worth protecting!" Yoki accused.

"She's a hero!" Roy said in Yoki's face, and Riza gasped. A hero?

"She's a woman! She'll never be worth anything!"
"Listen, you pompous…" Roy was about to swear like never before in his life, when he heard a voice.

"That is enough!" Armstrong shouted.

"Your majesty, I can explain" Roy said in a completely different tone. Now he was duteous.

He told Roy to step aside. He and his men let the emperor pass through.

Riza waited. That was it. The end of her. At least she managed to save his life, right? But she still broke the law. She deserved it. That was it.

"I've heard a great deal about you, Riza Hawkeye. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace…" he said in a harsh voice, "AND…you saved us all"

Riza watched with narrowed eyes as the emperor bowed to her.

Yoki looked horrified at Armstrong, than followed. Then Roy bowed. Then Havoc. Then all the soldiers. All the people that were waiting in the imperial court made the same move, all bowing to her, the savior of china.

Riza could recognize Olivier, near other people from the palace.

Everyone, absolutely everyone was bowing to her.

She couldn't believe it.

"Yoki" the emperor said after everyone was back to their usual position.

"Your excellency?"

"See to it that this woman is made a member of my council"
Riza was shocked once again. All she did was follow her instinct. It turned out to be a wise decision…

"A member of…But there are no council positions open, your majesty!" he said scandalized.

"Very well then, she can have your job"

"What…my…"
Roy chuckled as he saw Yoki faint. Damn straight. The creep deserved it.

"With all due respect, sir" Riza said bowing, "I have been away from home long enough"
Armstrong smiled and took his pendant off.

"Then take this, so your family will know what you have done for me. And this," he said giving her Wrath's sword, "so the world will know what you have done for China"

She took the gifts, and in one of her rare expressions of appreciation, she hugged him. Armstrong laughed and hugged her back.

"Is she allowed to do that? " Havoc asked, and Roy, Falman and Fuery shrugged.

She was the woman that had saved China. She was allowed to do anything.

Riza walked away from the emperor, just to be hugged by her three best male friends. She laughed and embraced them, in a big bear hug.

They broke the hug and she went further, and she found herself in front of Roy. She smiled in anticipation. After all this, she could finally find out.

Find out if he felt the same.

"You…" he said and her grin grew bigger. "You fight good" Roy mumbled, and Riza's smile turned into disappointment.

"Oh. Thank you" she replied and went to her horse.

Roy smacked his forehead. 'Idiot, idiot, idiot!'

Riza got on her horse, trying not to think that half of China was looking at her, and went down the stairs on the horse. Everyone cheered as she passed by them and she tried to smile.

She failed.

Still, a grimace on her face was enough for the cheering crowd.

"Ahem" Armstrong cleared his throat coming near Mustang. "The flower that blows in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all"
"Sir?" Roy said confused.

"You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty!" the emperor said like he would explain a five year old and put his had on. In the crowd's cheers, he entered his now Hun free castle.

"Let's go home" Riza told Edward as they were riding towards her village.

"Let's" he replied smiling. She knew how proud he was of her.

….

Berthold Hawkeye was on his favorite bench, under the blossom tree. He narrowed his eyes as he saw his daughter entering the garden, safe and sound, with just a few scratches on her face.
"Riza." He stated standing.

She kneeled in front of him and he sat back on the bench.

"Father, I brought you the sword of Wrath" she said giving him the sword, "and the crest of the emperor. They're gifts to honor the Hawkeye family" she said with her head bowed.

He threw the gifts on the ground and hugged his daughter tight.

"the greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter" he said proudly. He whipped away her tear and hugged her again. "I've missed you so"

"I've missed you too, dad"

Riza's mother with Pinako were just entering the garden.

Riza's mother sighed and tried to hold her tears back. Riza was all right! She was so happy!
"Great," Pinako said, "she brings home a sword. If you ask me she should have brought home a man."

…..

Roy and Havoc were in front of Riza's house.

"Go in, boss. I'll wait for you here"
"She's going to kill me." Roy sighed.

"I wouldn't put my money on that, colonel"
"Aghh" Roy covered his face with his palms. "Do you think my excuse sounds plausible?"
"Totally. Now go in there" Havoc smirked as he watched his tough boss all freaking out.

Roy nodded, sighed and entered, with the helmet in his hand.

Havoc chuckled leaning on his horse. After being one of the biggest heroes of China, he had some money too. That was good. It impressed girls.

"Nice horse you've got there" a voice from behind him said. Havoc turned around. A pretty girl, with curly dark hair and big eyes smiled at him.

"Thank you" he said, wanting to sound as confident as possible. He felt his knees go weak.

"Are you one of Riza's kick ass friends?"
"Uhm yes. You're a friend of hers?"
"Yup. She just got back so I didn't get the chance to hear all the awesome stories, but I've heard enough from everyone else. They all say she saved China."
"Well, she did."
"Darn. I'm her best friend! She should have said something to me. I could have joined her"
"Being in the army is tough" Havoc said leaning closer to her.

"I'm not afraid" she replied with a playful smirk. "Whatever Riza can do, I can do too."

"I bet you can" he grinned at her. "What's your name?"
"What's YOUR name?"

"I asked first."
"Well I'm not telling."
"Oh, really. Why not?"
"I only like wealthy men"

"You're talking to the right man than"

She sniffed.

"We'll see about that" and she left.

Havoc starred after her. Well that was a very interesting woman. And he didn't even get to know her name! Damn.

…..

"Excuse me, does Riza Hawkeye live here?" Roy asked a very shocked Pinako.

She pointed towards the garden, with her mouth forming a perfect O shape.

"Woho, sign me up for next year" Pinak said looking after him. Riza's mother chuckled.

This was going to be interesting.

Yeaaaahhh last chapter done.

Don't worry, there is also the EPILOGUE. I'm not leaving you hanging xD.

I'll update soon :D.

NOTE: I was thinking that after I finish this story (that would be with the next and last chapter) to start a new one, on the same style.

I was thinking Hercules from Disney, with Edward (Hercules) as main character. It is going to contain EdWin, Greed, Izumi, some Roy and Riza, Hughes, Envy…

I'm still trying to decide on the other characters.

What do you think? I'm only going to do it if there are people wanting xD. So let me know.

Until then, I'm going to finish writing the epilogue, post it here, and wait for your response.

Hugs, Anana.
