Author's note:
I figured it's about time we brought roy and riza back into the story. So here we go... Sorry if anyone's Ooc.
Chapter 8: Roy's POV
I had no recollection of what happened at all. One second, I'm keeping Fullmetal from doing something stupid again and the next second, I'm lying unconscious in some old mansion. Not only that but apparently there's these weird creatures here with strange powers. Take this little tiny fox for example. It could control fire and, while that was a pretty cool power, a few well placed shots into the wall by Hawkeye had it taking off, away from us. I guess I'm just lucky like that though. We quickly made our way out of the mansion, thankfully not running into anymore weird creatures. Well, actually there was this pile of goo on the floor that looked to be sleeping (how does goo sleep?) That we avoided. Enough of that though. I needed to find out just where I was and how the hell we freaking ended up here. We also needed to track down fullmetal, alphonse, and their mechanic friend. I sighed at the sunlight that hit my eyes and almost fell over when I saw it. We seemed to be stuck on an island... in the ocean... surrounded by water. Great. I quickly sighed before casting a quick glance towards Riza who was glancing at our surroundings curiously, but still keeping that slightly stiff air about her. "Let's go Hawkeye. We've got work to do." She swiftly nodded and followed me as we took to the tedious task of information gathering.
Blaze's POV
The growlithe was simply so irritated at this stupid trainer who seemed to think he would simply give in without any fight. Well, he would prove this punk wrong. A quick roar sent the kid taking off towards the nearest town, looking like he was about to pee his pants any second. I watched him go with a mischievous grin. "Was that really necessary? " I looked up towards my best friend and, as some of the people call her, my partner in crime. It's not like I've actually committed a crime, if you don't count my unnaturally good looks, but they seemed to think my rebelliousness to be a very great one. I just simply refused to be caught by someone who lacks the strength and courage to tame the fire. I just need someone who isn't afraid to get burned. But where in the world can I find someone like that? I shook my head with a sigh as the pidgeotto cleared it's throat. Catching my attention, I turned my head to see her, our eyes meeting, and when she had my attention she spoke. "Shouldn't we be seeking refuge? It's going to rain soon." I frowned as I looked up towards the cloud covered sky. "So it is." I mused before rising. "Let's go home then. I've spent enough time here as it is. Mount Moon has simply lost it's fun." She sighed in irritation and I couldn't help the slight snickers that escaped my muzzle. Choosing to ignore them, Wings quickly used fly and lifted us up and into the sky, heading across the ocean towards the island we call home. I smiled as it came into sight but gasped as we were caught by a large gust of wind. "I'm having trouble holding on!" I shouted, trying to dig into wings' s feathers. Suddenly the whole world seemed to be put on pause as i lost traction. A second later, it was put on fast forward as I began plummeting towards earth, not hearing as wings called my name out loudly.
Roy Pov
I was becoming increasingly irritated at this world, or dimension, or... wherever we are. I had quickly discovered that my gloves don't work which left me even more frustrated. Of course that's not all. I just had to look towards the ocean right when what looked like an orange dog with black stripes fell in, soaking me to the bone. I looked around for a second to make sure no cats would follow before sighing and going out into the water. I was already soaked so it really didn't make a difference. A large bird seemed to be circling the dog and I ignored it as I lifted the wet, furry mat onto my back. I grunted at the weight. I swear, this dog weighs more than fullmetal. Then I almost dropped it as my eyes widened in realization. If we're here then fullmetal, alphonse, and their mechanic must be as well! Tightening my hold on the dog I began to pull him towards the shore but not before something appeared in front of me. It looked like a blue jellyfish with red bubbles on it's head. I almost laughed as it sent a ton of bubbles towards me but winced when they hit. I have no idea how bubbles could hurt but for some reason, these did. I scanned the shore for any signs of hawkeye and, seeing none, I began to get a bit worried. Then I felt movement behind me and my dark eyes met the same burning dark in the dogs. Its own eyes suddenly became determined as i sat it down and it turned to face the jellyfish. "I hope you know what you're doing because I certainly don't. " I said to the dog and it seemed to grin back at me In response. The jellyfish seemed to shrink as the dog but his chest out, rising to his full height, and sending a dangerous glare towards it. Suddenly the dog cast him a toothy grin before sending out a horribly loud roar and causing the jellyfish's eyes to widen in fear before diving back into the protection of the waves. I couldn't help the chuckles that escaped with a slight grin. "Your a fiesty fella." He watched as the dog turned to him as wagged it's wet tail in amusement. Chuckling he said, "come on. Let's go get dried off." He led the dog to the shore and climbed up onto the sandy beach. Every step let out a loud squelching sound and as soon as the dog got out he shook, sending water flying everywhere, including me. After letting out a slightly undignified, "hey!" I looked down at myself with a groan. "Great. Now not only am I wet, but I also smell like dog." Suddenly I realized something and scowled. "Hawkeye's gonna kill me."
