Hours later, Olivier found herself alone again in that same room. The musky smell from her encounter with Lust still hadn't left, nor had her feelings for the cold-hearted woman. She never imagined that she'd meet someone like herself, but so different at the same time. They both shared that same indifference to many situations, and a clear hate for those who were foolish and weak. Yet, when the two were put together, it was like a war for dominance between two naturally dominant forces.
Olivier shook her head sadly, leaning against the wall, wondering how she'd gotten so lost in this whole situation. Lust had left without a word, and returned only to throw her a long black coat, much like her favorite frock that she liked to wear when at Briggs, along with a pair of black boxers. Apparently she wasn't allowed to be fully clothed. Just great...
She immediately slipped on the boxers and grabbed the coat to throw over herself on the shabby bed she'd been on just hours ago. There still wasn't any way for her to escape, and she kenw any attempts would just make it harder on her for the time being. Her only real hope was for the others to find this place and take control. But she knew in her heart that the chances of that happening were slim.
The man they called Father wasn't actually here in this base according to Envy, who had stopped by to mock her every so often, which meant the forces were no doubt focusing on wherever he was. She sighed, then slowly closed her eyes, hoping to get some rest.
Later that night, Lust came in again, but just stood in the doorway, admiring Olivier as she slept. No matter how hard she tried to tell herself that it was all just a luxury, a night of fun for herself, she couldn't get over how amazing it felt to dominate the blonde woman, to have her all for herself. It was more than her average one night stand. It was something she wanted to continue doing for a long, long time. And as Olivier's comrads grew closer with each passing second, she was worried that wasn't going to happen. She left without a word, and the next morning, Olivier awoke to the sounds of swords clashing and tanks firing one after another.
At first, she thought it was just a dream of hers, a dream that help had actually come. But when the door was kicked down to reveal a rather irritated looking Lust, she realized that wasn't the case. They really had found her. "Get, up. Now!" Lust ordered, not giving Olivier a chance to object. She grabbed the major general's wrist and yanked her up, then threw the black frock coat she'd given her earlier over to her. Olivier slipped it on quickly, buttoning it up to hide her lack of clothing.
Lust looked at her, then pulled her out of the room and down a system of halls until they reached a door, at which point Lust shoved her into a small closet, and said, "Move all the boxes around until you find a hatch. It'll take you under this base and to the outside. Just make sure you peak around before coming up. Wouldn't do to have you getting shot now would it?" Olivier just looked at her with confusion. Here was the woman that just the other night had forced her into the most passionate experience of her life, giving her directions to freedom. Directions back to her troops where she could then order their downfall... Why?
She never had the chance to answer, for Lust winked seductively, then slammed the door shut. Instead of doing as Lust had suggested, Olivier immediately went and tried to open the door, knowing that Lust was headed straight for the chaos outside. What was that woman up to? Olivier knew that if last night had affected her of all people, then it had to have done something to that mysterious woman as well. So why was she going off and leaving her here? Unless... Unless she intended to sacrifice herself to stop the fighting outside...
Realizing that she was probably the only person who could stop the men from completely destroying or torturing her, Olivier started to search for the entrance in the floor. Once she uncovered it, she slipped down, and sprinted through the winding passageways. It seemed like hours, but she finally caught a ray of sunlight, and burst through into the open air once again.
All around her the streets were deserted, but bodies lay strewn about, while some men continued moaning in pain. It was obvious that they had been moving in large groups right through this area, but not all had made it past.
She made her way up to one of men, and grabbed his radio. He wasn't one of her men, but she was willing to bet that he was communicating with those higher up. "This is Armstrong, come in." she said boldly, hoping that there was some sort of answer on the other end. She stood there waiting for several minutes, and was about to throw the unit down when a sudden bit of static erupted, and then a voice on the other end rang out. "This is unit 009, state your full name sir."
"Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong you bumbling idiot! Who did you think it was by the name of Armstrong? My brother?" she snarled into the radio. "Now, hurry and tell me where this particular group of soldiers was heading to, and where that fool Mustang is."
"I-I-I don't know where the general is, ma'am, I'm sorry. According to sources, he was mysteriously summoned by the one known as father. I can't know for sure. But I do know that the particular group of soldiers was sent to raid a base said to have the remaining Homunculus inside."
That was all she needed to know. The men wouldn't dispose of any of the captured Homunculus without Mustang's say-so on how to do it, which meant this was her chance to step in. Without that fool in the way, she was the one they would take orders from. She hurried down the streets, following the sounds of cheering soldiers until she saw at the entrance of a large building Lust and Envy bound with soldiers dancing around them.
She neared them, and then started to shout out orders. "Okay men, enough dancing. You all look like fools. You caught two of the abominations, but you certainly didn't catch whatever is causing all of this chaos, now did you? So get back on your feet and let's get these two bastards back to the base of operations for questioning. I'm sure Mustang will be happy to see them again."
