The unnamed chapter
It was the next day and Riza and Ed had just got on the train to head back to western command, when they sat down after putting their bags away they had a big surprise "Hey there you two what's the chances of all of us getting the same train?" Lucy said sitting down next to Ed "What brings you to this train of all things Lucy?" Riza said "What I've not been west for a while so I thought I would head there is that so wrong Riza?" Lucy said grinning at Riza while slowly moving closer to Ed which made him feel uncomfortable which made Lucy giggle at him.
When they all arrived at the train station Riza and Ed had a car waiting for them so they both said goodbye to Lucy, Riza gave her a hug while Ed helped put their bags in the back of the car "I guess I'll see you around then Lucy I hope?" Riza asked letting go "Sure of course I will you know me I'll come over another day if that's all right by you?" Lucy said "Oh course you can." Riza said heading to the car.
Before they were allowed to head home and get unpacked they had to head to western command and talk to General Quinn, when they got to the office door they knocked before entering.
"Ah good afternoon I'm glad you've arrived pleased sit down, I don't know if you've heard but there has been people in the military being killed, it started in the south and then not long after that it hit the north and even Major General Armstrong has had trouble dealing with it but last week it started in the east I've heard that Mustang has been targeted twice from what we can gather this new group are trying to take out high ranking people and even anyone that could be classed as a threat to stop them, for example a lieutenant was killed who played a key role in the ishval war."
Hearing this shocked Riza more than it did Ed because she had once heard about a group called the Anti-Dictatorship who only wanted to free the country from the military completely and she knew the only way to do that was to eliminate higher up officers and anyone who could stop they. "I've heard about this group and they are highly skilled I can only guess that they have come here because they know that myself and Edward are here." Riza said making everyone look at here even Ed. "Do you anything else about them Captain Hawkeye? If you do please speak up." The General asked "I was put under cover a few years ago with a terrorist group similar to this one they had the same plans, my orders were to disbanded the group without bringing suspicion to myself, the mission was a success and the group was caught their leaders were put in jail and are still there but they never had this sort of order or skill, I can only think that they found a new leader." Riza said looking at the General which made Ed wonder how many other undercover missions did she have to do when she was under Mustang.
After the meeting with General Quinn they quickly went to their office to see how there team was doing "Good afternoon team." Ed said walking through the door which made them jump. "Afternoon sir how was your honeymoon?" Nina Frost said standing up to salute him. "It was great but that's all I'm saying about it." Ed said grinning making her blush "We've seen the general so we know about what's going so don't worry about it ok this is just a quick visit to see how you lot gone on without us, we'll be back in first thing tomorrow so we'll see you later." Ed said walking out the door heading to the car and then home.
The next morning both Edward and Riza arrived early so sort out any paper work they had from the past week; the team turned up a while after them and sat at their desks to get on with their work.
A knock came at the door it was one of the general's men "Mrs Elric General Quinn wants to talk to you please come with me." He said standing at the door Riza got up to follow the man.
It was a few hours later that she returned and then he asked Edward the same question so Ed finished writing and followed the man to the Generals office "Take a seat please." The General said Ed did as he was asked and sat down in the chair in front of the Generals desk and then the General spoke again. "As you know I spoke to your second in command before calling you in because of what she said yesterday, I believe she can help us capture some of these people I have spoken to her about my plan and she has agreed to it but asked if I let you lead this mission so I have asked you to come see me ask inform you of my plan." Edward was not surprised by this at all since he knew his wife all too well "Ok then General Quinn I'll do it all I'll need is my team to pull this off." Ed said with a serious look on his face because he wouldn't trust anyone else with this mission. "That's completely fine I wouldn't have it any other way you're dismissed." General Quinn said saluting Ed and Edward stood up and saluted him and headed back to his office.
Back in Edwards's office everyone was working hard as always and then Edward walked into the room no one took too much notice and carried on with their paper work all but Riza because Ed was looking right at her and she knew why. "I want to see all of you in my office in five minutes." Edward said before closing the door to his office.
After the five minutes everyone was in his office waiting to hear why he asked them all there. "As you all know there is a group trying to kill high ranking officers and anyone who could pose a threat to them, Riza knows of a similar group and we believe they could be the same so the General has asked her to be bait for them to capture and then for us to find where they took her and capture them, I have come up with a plan to do this and it will need only the best that's why I picked the four you all those years ago to train up to be the best that I knew you could be." Edward said making Nina blush as Ed continued.
"We are using Riza's dog walking route as the bait since she always uses the same route every day, I'm going to place you at four different points of her walk leaving a blind spot in between each of you so that it gives them their chance, I'll be walking with her a few times to make it look normal but I'll leave during the walks and to let you all know I'll kiss her on the cheek and head back to command to listen in so that all of us know when she is captured and head there straight away that's all dismissed." Ed said saluting them and in return they all saluted him.
It was a few days later before Ed started going ahead with his plan of joining Riza with her walks with Black Hayate and some days let her go by herself but it took a week before anything strange happened it was Frank Johnson who noticed it first. "Hey guys I got someone following Major Elric not sure who it is but I'll keep watch this might be them." As Riza continued her walk knowing someone was following her she tried to ignore them and before she knew it the person disappeared as quickly as they appeared.
It took the group a week of watching Riza before anything happened. It was on a Thursday night Ed had stayed at Western Command that night and Riza did her usual thing of walking the dog.
Everyone kept in radio contact until she went into the blind spot between Stan and Chris that was when they made their move. A van pulled up beside her two men jumped out and grabbed her and then jumped back into the van which then speeded away.
Chris saw the speeding van and radioed in to everyone else. "I just saw a van speed off not far from where the Major was I think they made their move I'm going to keep track of it everyone it's a blue van heading east towards you Nina do you see it yet?" Chris asked. "Yes its heading towards an old factory building its stopped I think I see someone that looks like the captain being dragged in there." Nina said making Ed take a deep breath before he spoke "Ok everyone meet up at Nina's position no one make a move till I get there got it?" "Yes sir." Everyone replied.
They all arrived at Nina's position not long after they had finished on the radio and not long afterwards Edward arrived "Has anyone entered or left since Riza entered?" Ed asked Nina "No sir it's been quiet since she arrived what do we do now sir?" She replied "We sneak into the building and see how many there is and take them out silently got it." Ed said looking serious "Yes sir." Everyone said and they headed off to the building.
After they entered the building they saw Riza and only five other men which made Edward feel better about this situation but at the same time felt that it was not quite right "Only five men to guard her I mean they must know who she is and how easy it would be for her to take them down." Ed thought to himself he signaled to the others to take the other four while pointing to which one was his.
In a fluent movement Edward and his team took the five men out with ease he started to untie Riza while the others kept watch just as Ed removed her gag she shouted "IT'S A TRAP RUN!" But it was too late suddenly the room filled with men from the group there was a minute of silence no one moved and all Edward could do was grin because now he could let his anger out on them for kidnapping his wife "Team take them down but don't kill any one we need them alive got it." Ed said load enough for everyone to hear.
Then his team went into action followed by Edward himself. Nina shot them only to disable them, Chris used his knowledge of the human body to injure them enough to keep them down, Frank used his martial art skills to knock the men out and Stan used the commotion to take out anyone else left.
As the final few men fell to the floor Ed turned his attention to Riza who was getting up from behind a corner. "You alright Riza?" Edward asked "Yeah I think I broke my ankle though." She replied hobbling toward him as he rush to help her a grenade smashed through the window and landed right in front of him and Riza. "WATCH OUT!" Ed shouted pushing Riza to one side as he jumped to the other side as they fell it went off and sent them both flying as Edward got up he looked towards Riza and his eyes widened as he saw Riza impaled on a broken piece of pipe "RIZA!" Ed shouted.
He was frozen in fear as more men came in and one of them said "Kill them all but keep the blond one alive." As Ed heard that he felt his blood boil and slowly turned around as he did his team and everyone could see his face, he had a look that even scared his team because none of them seen him this mad "YOUR GOING TO PAY FOR THAT YOU BASTARDS!" Edward shouted and clapped his hands to the floor.
Seconds later the floor under the terrorists feet started to rumble and then all of a sudden the floor shot up and every one of them became crushed in between the floor and ceiling, seeing their commander do such a thing scared all of them and as the floor that had crushed the men Edwards face turned white again remembering what had happened to Riza and turned to rush over to her "Riza Riza stay with me Stan get help." Ed said trying to hold his tears back "Ok sir will be as quick as I can" Stan said running out of the building.
"I'm sorry sir she won't make it this is too serious of an injury." Chris said placing his hand on Edwards shoulder "NO I'M NOT LETTING HER DIE SHE DIDN'T LET ME DIE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!" Ed shouted he kept looking up and down Riza's body and thinking about what he could do then it hit him "I know what I must do I'm going to have to do the same as I did at Briggs I only hope this works." Ed said to himself "Ok Chris, Frank grab each of Riza's arms and when I say pull her off of this when you do the second she's off the pipe I'll use my alchemy to save her." Ed said with a serious look back on his face.
"That's not possible Sir no one can do that its." Chris said but knew that look that Edward had on his face meant he knew what he was doing "*Sigh* ok sir whatever you say." Chris said grabbing Riza's left arm, Ed took a deep breath "Ok 1,2,3" Ed said then Chris and Frank pulled Riza off with her screaming and as she came off the pipe Ed clapped his hands and placed them on her wound "!" Ed screamed feeling part of his soul leaving his body but felt Riza's soul entering him, after he had finished he collapsed on the floor "SIR!" Nina shouted after that Ed passed out.
