33: Captured.
I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. And I apologize for not updating in a while! Got busy again and kept getting sick so I hope that this is worth your wait!
POV of Laura Fang
I run towards the scene and Fletcher has Leo underneath him. I see Leo struggling under him, I round house kick Fletcher in the face giving Leo a chance to get out. Fletcher crashes into a building's wall, I stand on the defensive next to Leo.
"What are you doing?! I thought I told you to get Mustang out of here!" Leo demands when I draw out my swords
"He's safe, and besides I couldn't let you die out here." I lie on the first part because I have no idea what Mustang's doing. Leo nods as he buys it, Fletcher rises and shakes the debris off of him.
"I see you couldn't deicide then, no matter." he comes back at me when I jump out-of-the-way.
I come back to the ground as Leo makes another ice wall to hold Fletcher back for a bit. "There's only one way out of this; we have to do the External Doksushin." I state when he makes a shocked face.
"It's too risky! It requires two Transmutation Circles, one mental and physical one!" he yells out as he reinforces the ice but it starts cracking slowly. I reach into my pocket and pull out my last Illusion Seal tag,
"We got to try though; and you know it's the only chance we got if we plan to get out of here alive!" I yell out at him, he opens his mouth to object against me but he knows me. He closes his mouth then nods
"Alright, I'll support you." I smile then Fletcher shatters the ice wall. We fall back as I hold the Seal tag in my palm, Leo puts his hands over the Seal as he starts the process need to rig up the ordinary one type Illusion Seal into the Seal with both Transmutation Circles needed for the External Doksushin. I feel the tag get heavy as the Transmutation Circles are altering the original circle to the complex one with both types of Illusion Alchemy in it.
Leo slams another on my sword and flings it towards Fletcher. He swats it away so I take a deep breath then I lunge out. Fletcher dodges my attack and he grabs me by my foot throwing me into the ground. I grunt as he tries to overpower me, when I activate the tag on my sword causing it and I to switch spots. I'm behind him and I latch myself around his shoulders and neck. He tries shaking me off when I stab my knuckles into his eye. He screams as I feel his Auto Mail eye break underneath my hand, I slap the Seal Tag onto his face. It flashes as it burns into his face, he howls and manages to throw me off of him. I skid across the floor as I come to a stop. "LEO NOW!" I order so we both slam our hands together, our Rinkais activate in both eyes, I feel my iris divide into multiple little ones as they form a triangle, they start growing little arms and they make a design similar into a spider web over my eyes. Fletcher glances over at us as he screams in terror.
"He's almost there! Keep going!" I yell out as I and Leo feel the strain in our eyes; it wouldn't probably strain us if we weren't so exhausted from the wear and tear from the last couple of days. I go and stand next to Leo; we pant as we have to kick up the Alchemy up a notch as Fletcher struggles to break himself free from it. Leo starts shaking as his Rinkai starts weakening, I wrap my arm around his torso so that way he can lean against me. "Don't give up now Leo!" I scream out as my Rinkai starts weakening too because in order to do the External Doksushin it requires two Illusion Alchemists, one to ge the victim's body to react against the Physical part of the illusion, and another to get their mentality to react too; but if one of the Alchemists' Rinkai starts weakening, the other one does too; it's because we're basically getting our Alchemy and bodies in sync together. If he dies, I can potentially die too. That's why the External Doksushin is considered one of the most dangerous Illusions in Illusion Alchemy.
Leo leans against me and I feel his sweat mixing against the rain on my skin and blood, I clench my jaw as I try to support his weight, I feel the Doksushin starts to take affect; my breathing starts getting heavier trying to maintain his' and mine's Rinkais going. I finally feel the Doksushin sinking in and working, I let out a sigh of relief so we dilate our eyes back to normal. I drop to all fours as I try to get my breathing under control, Leo does the same so we fist bump as our Alchemy and bodies unsynchronized with each other's. I roll onto my back letting the rain to wash down my face, moving the blood away. I glance over to Leo as he just sits there, he looks down at me then manages a weak smile giving me a thumbs up.
"We did it..." he chokes out as I see his chest rising and falling rapidly. I nod,
"We should get going; Fletcher's not going to break through the External Doksushin," Leo wobbly stands up then he pulls me up. I feel dizzy and exhausted that my legs and arms feel like lead. I take a deep breath and manage to stand up. We go over to Fletcher and he's knocked out cold, I fall to my knees and I struggle to get back u. Leo wraps his arm around my neck and waist, he gets me up, I glance up at him, he offers a weak smile. We slowly start retreating from the scene.
We turn the corner and we're confronted by a legion full of State Alchemists. We're tackled against the floor as we're pounced on from behind. I snarl and try putting up a fight against the Alchemist that's handcuffing me when someone's boot is front of my face. I look up and it's the Fuehrer. I hiss out my displeasure, the Fuehrer smirks as he sets his boot on the side of my face.
"Now Colonel I wouldn't do that if I were you, just come quietly and no pain will come to you." he announces, I look past him and there's Roy in handcuffs too. I glare up at the Fuehrer
"Let him go! He had nothing to do with this!" I order, the Fuehrer glances to where I'm looking at, he sighs
"If I let Colonel Mustang go will you come quietly?" I frown as I glance away,
"Yes." I mumble, I look up as the Fuehrer orders Roy to be let go. They do then I'm pulled up to my feet, the two Alchemists force me to walk as they hold a gun to my head and one poking my back. I start walking towards the truck, I glance over at Roy, he doesn't look at me; One of the Alchemists opens the door for me, they push down on my head as I'm forced into the truck. I glance out of the window as Leo's forced into the truck next to me. The driver gets in and then the trucks pulls away. My eyes start feeling heavy so I give in and sleep.
