Sup! It's Hezaru-chan with Chapter 5! So, which of my wonderful readers is going to see the new FMA movie: The Sacred Star of Milos? I'm going all the way to Seattle (which is like an hour long drive for me) to go and see it with Sensu-chan! YAY! *fangirling*

Disclaimer: I don't happen to own the teenager of transmutations or his little brother. Neither do I own the magical eavesdroppers. (*cough cough* Hermione!)

Hermione: I only did that because you sent a bunch of suspicious people to our school! And who's that Colonel guy Ms. Hawkeye was talking to?

Riza: So you admit to spying on me?

Hermione: eeeep! Yes, I mean no….*runs*

Ed had fallen asleep in his teacher's chair. He had numerous alchemy papers scattered about. Riza came along and picked them up, putting them in a pile. Alphonse picked up one of the papers and if he had his true body, he'd be smiling, "Just like brother."

"What is it?", Riza asked.

"This is his alchemy research."

"Oh? It looks like a regular travel log.", she examined the papers.

"That's what he does! I can't even decode it! He's a master of encrypting his notes! I don't know how he does it!", Alphonse went into chibi mode.

"Yeah, Alchemists do tend to that don't they. I'm pretty sure the Colonel puts his in the form of a record of all the dates he goes on. He didn't really use that for his specific alchemy though…"

"Oh really? Then how did he learn flame alchemy if he didn't research it and put it in notes?"

"It's a long story. One for another time.", she said, sadly.

"Oh, ok.", Alphonse said, continuing picking up after Ed.


When Ed woke up he went to go take a shower. Seeing as he was still half asleep he bumbled around and accidentally went into the Women's showers (Silly Ed) Thankfully only Lieutenant Hawkeye happened to be in there. She was in the process of taking off her shirt. When she saw Ed she covered the front half of her body immediately.

"Edward! What on earth are you doing here?", she yelled.

Ed woke up all the way when he saw the Lieutenant's body facing the opposite wall with her head turned to face him. He saw the transmutation array on her back and had to do a double take. That was a transmutation circle? No, it was alchemy notes. Ed looked at it for a few seconds. then he said, "Th-that tattoo… It's the same design on the Colonel's gloves! L-Lieutenant?", Ed's eyes widened and looked at her. Then he realized what exactly was going on, "Oh my god! Lieutenant I'm sorry! I-I was half asleep you see and…"

"It's okay, Edward, just please, get out."

"Yeah sure thing!", Ed fled the bathroom as fast as he could.

"What's the matter Brother?", Al asked when Ed came back to the room, out of breath.

"Al? Did you know that Lieutenant Hawkeye had coded alchemy notes tattooed on her back?", he asked.

"N-No…", Alphonse then gasped. And remembered, "It's a long story. One for another time." Then he said, "It the Colonel's research on flame alchemy!"

"Not quite, parts of the notes were scarred. As if it were burned off…" Ed realized what he was saying, "That bastard! He tattoos that on her back and then he burns it off!"

"That's not it Edward", Hawkeye came in, fully clothed and with wet hair. "I might as well tell you, you've already seen the tattoo." She sat them down and sat in a chair herself. "This is a long story. Are you ready?"

The brothers nodded and she begun.

"A long time ago, before the Ishvalan war, Colonel Mustang was my father's alchemy apprentice."


Roy waved at her, "Hey Riza! I'm here for my lessons!"

She smiled from the window, "Dad's waiting for you Roy! Come on in!"

He came inside and took off his boots. "How's it going?"

"Good, Dad's really getting on that research, he says it's almost done."

"Oh good! I'll go and see him now.", Roy practically ran to her father's study.


"He was so enthusiastic about alchemy. He dreamt of becoming a state alchemist so he could help and protect our country.", She explained.

"I didn't know you and the Colonel went that far back.", Ed said to her.

"Yeah, we've known each other for quite a long time.", She somewhat smiled. "I still remember the day he found out about Dad's flame alchemy."

"Wait, your father's alchemy?", Alphonse asked.

"Yes, in order to protect the secrets of his research, he tattooed it on my back."

"Your own father?", Ed was trembling, "What kind of monster tattoos his research onto his own daughter?"

She sighed, "Like I said, he was protecting it from the wrong hands."


"Riza, would you come here please?", Berthold Hawkeye asked his daughter.

"What is it?"

"I need your help."

"With what?"

"I completed my research."

"You did? Roy's going to be so happy!"

"Yes yes, now I need you to keep it safe for me."

"Anything for you and Roy, father."

The man smiled, he brought the young Riza to a table, "Now darling sit here for me okay?"

"Ok, but, what does this have to do with your alchemy?", She asked, doing as he said.

"You see, I have to keep this from getting into the wrong hands. I'm going to tattoo my notes on your back, Riza, and I hope you can keep it safe for me. It will be the only record of my life.", He then proceeded to tattoo the array.

Riza's eyes widened, "O-Ok, I promise I'll keep this for you, father.", she trembled in fear. Then she screamed in pain.


Roy had noticed that something had been wrong with Riza in the past week. The last time he saw her, she was crying in her bedroom. She looked terribly sad whenever he spoke to her. He hoped the flowers would help her feel better. When she opened the house door, he smiled, "Hello Ms. Hawkeye. I thought you looked a bit sad lately so I brought these for you. Is your father home?"

Riza took in an armful of fire lilies. Little did Roy know, that because of that day, those flowers became her absolute favorites. "Yes Roy, he's in the back room, he's not feeling too well though."

"That's okay. I'll go talk to him."

A few minutes later, he came running from the room, "Riza! Your father!"

She ran into the small room, "Dad?"

Her father was sprawled across the floor, obviously dead. She fell down and cried. Roy caught her and held her.


"Shortly after that, I showed the Colonel the tattoo and he decoded the research. That's the secret of his alchemy. Shortly after the war, I asked him to burn it off my back for me. I couldn't be burdened with my father's research any longer. I had to get it off me, so I could be free.", she sighed.

Ed stared at her in horror the entire time. After she finished, Ed ran from the room. He bumped into Hermione in the hallway, knocking all her books to the ground. "I- I'm sorry", he said, picking up the books.

"It's okay.", She said, receiving the fallen books. She noticed the look on his face. "Professor Elric? Are you ok?"

He just nodded and walked away.

Edward found himself in one of the many courtyards. He climbed into a tree and sat there.

"I'm telling you something's wrong with him!", Hermione dragged Harry and Ron over to the tree where Ed sat.

"Professor?", Harry asked.

"Go away.", Ed said, plain and simple.

"I'm not that kind of person.", Harry explained.

"I said go away Potter!"

Malfoy happened to be walking by. "Ha! Get a load of that! Even his teachers can't stand him."

"Shut up, Malfoy!", Harry yelled.

"Make me Potter!", He sneered.

They got into a magical duel. Ed, seeing his job as a teacher, jumped down to stop it. He got in between Harry and Draco. Unfortunately, Malfoy had fired a curse at Harry just as Ed stepped in. The spell hit Ed's right arm, completely destroying his sleeve. Everyone in the courtyard stared at him with wide eyes.

Ed got pissed, "Are you finished?", Ed pulled the rest of his coat off. He threw it down on the ground next to Harry and the others. He stood, looking at the stunned Malfoy with a look of disgust, then he turned to everyone else, "All of you, take a good frickin' look! Yeah, my arm's made of metal! Oh, and if that's not enough, check this out!", Ed pulled up the left leg of his pants, "My legs metal too! You really did it this time Malfoy. So maybe in the future, you should be more careful who you attack and why, 'cause now I'm gonna kick your ass!" Ed ran at Malfoy, but he was restrained by a suit of armor.

"Brother! Stop it! He didn't mean to!", Alphonse held his brother.

"Like hell he didn't! Let me go Alphonse!"

"Edward stop it. Your acting on anger! You don't want to do this." Hawkeye got in front of Edward, shielding Malfoy and the others.

Edward struggled, "This jerk thought he could just fire around spells and your letting him get away with it?"

"No, not at all.", McGonagall and Dumbledore walked in.

"What have we here?", Snape asked, following them. "A mechanic arm and leg? How interesting, I'd like to take a look if you don't mind."

"Sorry pal, but right now I sure as hell mind!", Edward continued to struggle in Alphonse's grip.

"Malfoy, Potter, come with me!", McGonagall gestured to them.

Al and Riza carried Ed back to the classroom.

After they all left, Hermione fell to the ground, "H-His arm.."

"Bloody hell.", Ron went over to her, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.", she said, "What was that?"

"I don't know, but that was scary as hell.", Ron replied.

"I have a feeling things are going to start getting really messed up around here.", Ginny said, picking Hermione up off the ground.

Oh snap! I really wanted to get some Hawkeye action all up in here and I got a request to have Malfoy go over the top with Ed. I feel really good about this chapter, but I flat-out got creeped out by the tattoo scene. (Me, getting creeped out by my own writing.) I just read it over and I'm thinking, 'Dude! That's messed up and totally demented!' But that's what I imagined as what happened. I really could have gone farther into it, but I didn't wanna push it. This isn't a Riza story, but funny thing, I actually forgot that this was a crossover once I got into the flashback parts. P.S. Every time you don't review, Ed accidentally walks in on Riza, and that's just weird to think about. *shivers* Plus, Roy would kill him and I don't want that to happen at all! Review!
