Chapter 02

"Such foul language." Fenix didn't miss a beat as she turned around while drawing the handgun on her waist. The movement was so fast it sent out a small gust of wind. Her eyes got wide when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

'Damn, he's fast,' Fenix thought. Kimblee towered over her and grinned. Fenix kept her eyes straight ahead watching her gun tremble slightly.

"I'm pretty sure you're aware what will happen if I use my alchemy while touching you," Kimblee's voice sent an indescribable chill down her spine. Oh, she knew exactly what would happen and the thought was terrifying. "Lower your weapon before I blow off your arm." Fenix's breathing slowed as her arm dropped to her side. "Now tell me who sent you."

"Go to hell."

"Hm. You first." Kimblee quickly moved his hand to Fenix's head.

"Tch." Fenix clenched her teeth before falling on her back just as the crimson alchemist activated his alchemy. Her shades shattered when her head collided with the ground. Fenix kicked Kimblee's feet from under him and rolled a couple of feet away before standing up. 'Damn that was close!' She pulled the bandanna from her face and raised her weapon holding it firmly with her undamaged arm. "Get up!"

Kimblee stood slowly brushing the dust from his clothes, "well you have-Huh!" his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Hayes who was breathing heavily. "I'll be damned! I haven't seen eyes that red in a long time. And you have dark skin as well. If I didn't know any better I would say you were an Ishvalen. How cute, you even dyed your hair black to cover up that horrific white."

"I have my mother's hair, she's Amestrian. My father is full Ishvalen."

"I can't believe I didn't notice it before now," Kimblee said and put his hands in his pockets.

"I tend to cover up well," Fenix replied.

"I see that, I'm just now realizing you're a woman also." A flush of heat ran to Hayes' face as Kimblee took note to his new discovery.

"What the hell did you think these big lumps on my chest were?! Canons?!" the major yelled pointing.

"A vest and some extra ammunition honestly," Kimblee replied.

"Men." Hayes shook her head and sighed.

"Now tell me…" Kimblee took a few steps forward. "…who sent you?"

"That's none of your damn business," Fenix said through clenched teeth.

"Ouch! That stung a little," Kimblee chuckled and ran his hand through his hair. "Hm. I guess we can start out with your name then."

"Your stones…give them to me and maybe I'll let you live."

"Oh! You'll let me live? I wasn't under the impression that my life was in any danger."

"Bastard."

"If you're after my stones then I'm assuming the fuhrer himself sent you. That greedy little devil wants me out of the picture."

"Major Fenix Hayes."

"What?" Kimblee asked.

"You asked my name. It's Fenix, Fenix Hayes."

"Well Miss-"

"Major." Fenix interrupted.

"Major Hayes, I'm sorry but I can't give you my stones. What did our great leader offer you anyway?" Kimblee was curious simply because he knew Bradley was the "I can promise you an army" type. "What could this country possible give back to a grieving Ishvalen like you?" He searched her eyes for an answer.

"Eastern Command of course." Fenix smirked, satisfaction resting in her tone. "But Bradley will regret it as soon as I send a bullet through his skull." Fenix walked closer to Solf and increased the grip slightly on the trigger.

"It seems we both want to see the same outcome," Kimblee said as he picked up his hat from the ground. He beat the dirt off of it before placing it on his head. "I can't wait to see that bastard bite the dust once and for all." He turned to leave. "Maybe we shouldn't be enemies after all. You take control of Eastern and persuade all the men, in turn they'll persuade their cohorts in other command centers and BOOM! An all-out Coup!"

Fenix scoffed, "What a basic plan. I know a man of your caliber can strategize a little better than that." She lowered her weapon once more and Solf turned back slightly.

"Hm. I'm sure we can work out the details at your house." Kimblee smirked.

Fenix blushed and wiped her face with the back of her hand. "As if. Let's make a deal here sparky, you help me kill Bradley and you keep your stones otherwise I take your stones and your life," she said coldly.

"Or you help ME kill Bradley and I'll give you one of my stones otherwise I kill you and all your precious friends up at Eastern," Solf replied with the same amount of malice in his voice.

"Hm." Hayes narrowed her eyes and uncocked her gun before putting it back in the holster. Kimblee walked up to her and Fenix tensed a bit. He held out his hand and grinned.

"You're makin' a deal with the devil, sunshine!"

Fenix gripped his hand tightly and pulled him closer to her body. She grinned back, "This wouldn't be my first time, twinkle toes."
