Hello, this is the last Chapter for this story (I think, unless I manage to create something else, but I don't want to, just in case I ruin this ending). I have to give Credit to Inuchron as she did help me yesterday as I was suffering from writers block, but when I think about it, I used next to know of the ideas we had yesterday hehe ^-^ oh well.
This chapter I have done a lot of thinking and creating time lines to make sure everything co-ordinates (and boy does my head hurt)
I hope you like this last chapter
ENJOY! ^-^
Hawkeye continued to rummage through the file to gather more information. In her hand she held out some photos of Capeage once the war was over. In these photo's there was no sign of life, no buildings standing and dead bodies covering the floor. Under this photo was a piece of paper explaining the war. Hawkeye skimmed her eyes down the page to get glimpses of key words. The words she gathered were: revolt, difference in belief, culture, and class. This she could piece together. She continued reading down to where it read:
Army troops were sent into the firing line to diffuse the situation. About one hundred thousand troops were ordered with ten doctors also assigned. Shooting civilians was only necessary if the solider had seen it was needed. There was no order for reckless killing. This was until the civilians started fighting back and precautions were assigned to kill anyone who fought the military with guns or other lethal weapons.
There was no more information about how the war had started.
She decided to gather all the information and take it back to Roy to examine. She locked the door behind her and took the long walk to the hospital. Once she reached Roy she entered to find Havoc and Breda sat with him.
"Oh, hi Havoc and Breda." She smiled. "I take it you have been to interrogate Sven?"
Both of them nodded.
"I found the file for you Sir. Sorry it took so long, they moved it and I also had a quick glance at it." She informed.
"That's ok Lieutenant." Roy responded.
Hawkeye passed the file to Roy and he opened it and read all the information making sure he didn't miss anything.
"So what did you find out then?" Hawkeye asked looking over to Havoc and Breda.
"Only a little bit unfortunately." Havoc sighed to Hawkeye. "We found out that there are 10 other men out in Central after one military officer each for revenge. We also got the motive on why Sven shot the Colonel and that's because he was after his uniform in order to gain access into the head quarters to get revenge on the Fuhrer."
"The Fuhrer? But why him?" Hawkeye questioned.
"Apparently, the Fuhrer is the officer who shot his family."
"But wait, when I was reading the file it read that only people who resisted the military and fought back were ordered to be killed. What family members were there?"
"He said that he had his parents and a sister." Breda informed.
"Do we know how old his sister was?" Hawkeye asked Breda.
"I have his file here, but I haven't read it." Breda passed Hawkeye the file.
She read through his family information to discover some interesting information.
"It says that he was an only child."
Roy put the file on Capeage down in an instance.
"But why would he lie about that to us?" Havoc questioned.
"Lieutenant, tell me all the information about this guy on that file please." Roy ordered Hawkeye.
"Yes Sir. Well his name is correct. He is currently 31 years of age and was born in Capeage, but due to family differences he moved away from Capeage when he was 5 years old and moved to the Eastern border with his mother. They moved to an area near Ishval. Then the Ishval war came along and this is when his Mother was shot by Military officers two years ago. He would be 29 years of age at the time."
"But wait, that means he wasn't in Capeage during the war. This means that it is a cover story." Breda derived.
"Correct, which means that he will be after the officer who killed his mother, but we don't know who that is yet. But then again, King Bradley was in Ishval so that part of his story could be true. Havoc, Breda. Go interrogate Sven again and gain the correct information. Do not leave until you have that information. You can use force if necessary." Roy ordered them.
They both nodded and left the room.
"Havoc, also it would have put his age at 19 when the war started, and technically he is not a child." Breda informed Havoc.
"That's true, but it still doesn't give us the motive. Plus we should have picked that up. I'm such an idiot."
"But we had only just got his file so we weren't to know. Also, people look older than what they are." Breda was trying to reassure Havoc that anyone could have made this mistake.
They continued their walk to the prison, but something was not right. All the prisoners were very rowdy and there was no sign of officers controlling the noise. The pair raised their guns and walked slowly into the cells. Nothing could have prepared them for what they were about to see.
"Havoc, what the hell is going on?" Breda said with a shiver to his voice.
"I have no idea Breda, but we need to find out. Search for any survivors and if there aren't any ask the prisoners what happened."
Breda nodded and they split up. Breda headed up to the second floor while Havoc checked the first floor. The ground floor was just the reception and they could both see the whole room with one glance. All Havoc could see on the ground floor was all officers lying in a pool of their own blood. Havoc tapped each of them with his foot, but none of them responded.
"Shit." Havoc muttered under his breath. He headed up the stairs to where the first sets of prisoners were.
When Havoc approached the entrance of the floor, it was the same scene as downstairs. The only difference was the noise; all the prisoners were rowdy and shouting due to excitement. Some of these prisoners hadn't been outside for quite a few years so seeing this was getting their blood pumping. Havoc continued checking for survivors, but was having no luck. He also looked to check on the cells to see if anyone had escaped. All the prisoners were in check until he got to one cell. Cell 24-C. Havoc eyes opened wide in shock.
"Shit he has escaped."
Havoc went to the first prisoner near him.
"What the hell happened here?" He shouted at the prisoner.
"Some guys came along and shot all the officers and took that guy." The prisoner gave the briefest explanation possible.
"How many were there?"
"About 4 I think."
"Do you know where they are heading, did you hear anything?" Havoc was getting angrier and angrier.
"I don't know, but I can remember the guy in the cell muttering something about Mustang all the time."
Havoc just stood there, frozen.
"Mustang? Did you hear anything else?"
"That's all I could hear. Sorry officer."
Havoc ran away from the prisoner to find Breda.
"BREDA!" He shouted.
A few seconds later Breda came panting down the stairs.
"Yes Havoc."
"I need you to Stay here and keep the prisoners in check. I have a feeling I know who Sven is after."
"Who?"
"Mustang!"
Breda tried not to show any emotion and just nodded to Havoc. With that nod Havoc was sprinting down the stairs to try and reach the hospital before Sven could. He knew he had a slim chance, but a slim chance is better than no chance. He was not going to allow his commander to be killed. Not when he was recovering. He was just hoping that the Lieutenant was thinking straight and can protect the Colonel like she always does.
"Sir, don't you think it is a bit of a coincidence that he was just outside Ishval when we were sent to the front lines, and at that exact time is when his mother got shot. That was only 2 years ago. Plus he did shoot you when we were out on patrol." Hawkeye questioned to Roy.
"It is a bit, but until Havoc and Breda get back with the correct information we will never know."
"You are right sir, but something just doesn't feel right. It's like we missed something."
AHHHHH
BANG! Gun shots were repeatedly heard from Roy's room. Both Roy and Hawkeye looked round. Hawkeye got her gun out of the pouch ready.
"I'm going to check on that sir." Hawkeye informed and headed to the door.
She stood by the door trying to peer out of a little gap. She could see 8 men hustling doctors and nurses to the floor and they were all looking petrified. There wasn't an officer in sight.
"WHERE IS ROY MUSTANG'S ROOM?" A random voice screamed.
"Sir get down please." Hawkeye whispered to him.
Roy followed her orders and lowered himself in his bed, hiding his face, but also allowing vision to see the Lieutenant.
Hawkeye could see a figure emerging and coming closer to her. Her heart was beating as to what she should do. If she leaves the room then they will guess that Roy will be in this room, or she could just wait by the door until he is in sight to shoot. The figure was about 10 feet from the door; she took a few steps back to be closer to the Colonel so that if he did come in here then they would have to go through her first. She raised her gun to her face so that she could see exactly where she would be shooting. She could now see a shadow against the door. Her heart was beating faster.
"DROP YOUR WEAPONS NOW!" Hawkeye could recognise that voice as Havocs.
The shadow in front of the door appeared before her. He was grinning from ear to ear. The guy knew exactly where Roy was now.
"Hello again Lieutenant."
"You should be in your cell Sven." She responded.
"I thought I would say hi to the Colonel, see how he was. After all-" there was a pause while Sven reached behind this back to pull out a gun. "After all, he was the one to kill my mother."
Two gun shots were fired at exactly the same time. Sven's body immediately fell to the floor. Roy chucked the covers off his face to see Hawkeye's body fall to the floor. Her body was falling in slow motion. His eyes opened, his heart sank and he was frozen.
"LIEUTENANT!" Roy screamed. Roy got out of his bed as quickly as possible. He still hadn't all the strength back in his body. When his feet touch the floor he collapsed on the floor. Tears were falling down his face. He had little strength in his arms, so he dragged himself to her and cradled her in his arms. Her back was across Roy's legs with her legs swimming in her blood. She raised her right hand to be touching Roy's face.
"I'm sorry Colonel." She said with little life left in her voice.
"Don't be sorry Riza. You protected me and, and I love you Riza. You can't leave me."
"I love you too, you idiot." The pain was getting to her now and she was running out of time. "Now go and become Fuhrer and do me proud." All of her body now became lifeless. Her eyes were closed and her left arm was lying in her blood. Her right arm fell across her stomach
Roy cradled her and kept crying to her.
"Riza, you are too strong to die. Come on, stop joking. How will I become Fuhrer without you by my side and to tell me what to do and keep me in check?"
Havoc appeared by the doorway and just stood there staring. He could not digest what he could see. You had both Hawkeye's blood and Sven's blood merging together. Roy's robes were now becoming red from Hawkeye's blood and it looks like he was in a cloak of her blood.
"Colonel." Havoc said with a pain to his voice.
Roy did not respond, he was still holding Hawkeye hoping that she would come back to life.
"They can't take you away, not when we haven't made a start to our future. You are too precious to me." Roy told Hawkeyes lifeless body. He put his hand against her cold face and turned it so that she was facing him.
A doctor came into the room to examine Hawkeye. Roy wouldn't let go of her. The Doctor checked for a pulse. Roy looked up to him with his tear-filled eyes hoping for a sign of life.
"I'm really sorry Colonel Mustang, there is no pulse."
"No, no. You are lying. PLEASE BRING HER BACK." Roy pleaded. "Please, please."
He now had her wrapped in his arms and was rocking backwards and forwards. Havoc walked closer to Roy and removed his jacket. He laid it across Hawkeyes body then looked at Roy.
"Colonel. She's not coming back." Havoc was now starting to cry and placed a hand on Roy's back to comfort him.
"But I never gave her the ring."
:'(
I will admit, I started crying when writing this ending, I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't think of anything else. Well actually I lie, I did have another ending, but that one was meaner as it involved killing off many of the main characters.
I hope you have enjoyed the fanfic, and like I've said many times, my medical knowledge is nowhere perfect so please dont mention that several hundred times.
If you liked this, I shall be completeing the 100 theme challenge and base that on Natsuki Takaya's Fruits basket.
Thanks for all the reviews ^-^
