The Crazy One

[Ankh-Morpork]

[Spork Residence]

As the blobs appeared, Mustang acted. He jumped forward, raised his hand and began snapping his fingers like a madman. Fireballs of all sizes, explosions and a wave of flames shot forward at the blobs.

Overkill? Yes.

Mustang wanted to send a message. Amestris was not intimidated by inhuman monsters.

Sama, meanwhile, was busy looking at the cannons. He put his hands on the ground, and concentrated very hard, sending spikes of the earth shooting up, trying to destroy them!

[Alexandria Castle]

Garland nodded slowly. He was quiet and thoughtful at the moment. He could not betray what he was really thinking. Instead, he nodded.

“Show General Beatrix in.” He spoke slowly.

[Central City]

[Commander Center]

Grumman was no fool. He knew that he was an old man, and he knew that he HATED paperwork. There was no way he would be an effective Fuhrer – without giving in to his work – unless he was surrounded by people to share the burden.

He had also made a promise.

“Mustang is a very promising soldier. I’ve worked closely with him, and I trust his tactical know-how and his raw instinct. Of course, I don’t think I’ll tell him about the promotion until I see how he does at catching the Avatar.”

Grumman chuckled, but he signed the paper, making it official and binding.

[Machine Corps]

Jordan started to address Howe’s concerns, when there was a sound of someone coming. He quickly readied his pistol, and stepped to the side, flattening himself against the wall in preparation for whatever would come next.

The door opened. Jordan took aim, and this time he shot steady and true – and put a bullet right in the head.

“Ah!”
“What the…?”

Jordan was shocked at the sight. Alphonse was also frazzled as his helmet clanged to the ground with a bullet hole in the forehead.

The suit of armor was empty; Jordan gasped and stumbled back. Even for all his training and for his attempts at steeling his nerve, this was pretty freaky.

[...]

Meanwhile, inside, Winry beamed to Molly and ran towards one of the tanks.

“Molly, you have the right attitude! I think we’re going to be BIFFs!” Winry laughed as she climbed into the tank.

[Treno]

The man in the cloak looked at the cart. He slowly moved to his onto the hilt of his sword, and he took a step forward. He was drawing nearer the cart, when suddenly he stopped and seemed to look right at Chloe and Didymus.

He paused, and then looked at Allen.

“… Let them pass.” He said in a gruff voice. Then he turned and walked into the city, past the guards, who seemed really confused.

Vivi shuddered, and Zidane raised an eyebrow.

Garnet, meanwhile, looked to the two Paladins and the Exorcist and tilted her head. Did they know this man? She was not worried right now. Her mind was still reeling with the sight of the fallen Alexandrian Soldiers, and her need to find Tot, and Cross.

“Let’s hurry.” She urged them.

[…]

Meanwhile, on the clear other side of Treno, Cid’s Airship, the Highwind, landed. Under the cover of Yuna’s summon, the group had snuck back to the Airship and returned to Treno.

Cid lived here, after all – and Yuna had some credit for having fought against Alexandria here. They would be safe, at least for the time being.

Ankh-Morpork

Although she was amazed by the power Mustang displayed in his attack, Cyrean kept (fairly) focused, firing her beams still more!

Alexandria Castle

Belleza nodded.

"Yes, my lord..." she said, and made the call.

...in a short while, Beatrix, escorted by a pair of her soldiers, arrived.

Garland may have noticed that she and Belleza shared a...competitive...look, possibly even one that went beyond rivalry.

Beatrix waited, but Garland may have noticed something different: she stood, and was silent.

Belleza, he may have noticed, looked surprised, then very interested.

"You called for me?" Beatrix finally asked at long last.

Central City

Command Center



“Mustang is a very promising soldier. I’ve worked closely with him, and I trust his tactical know-how and his raw instinct. Of course, I don’t think I’ll tell him about the promotion until I see how he does at catching the Avatar.”


"...yes, sir. Of course, sir." Armstrong remarked. She was definitely his subordinate, now, even more so than before.

She couldn't well argue with the Fuhrer that SHE had more or less backed up, could she?

Machine Corps

Howe was a tad surprised to see that the suit of armor was empty...or so it appeared, at least...perhaps the man inside had been able to duck, fitting only loosely into the armor...? Or perhaps it WAS some unnatural weapon that he himself had helped acquire intelligence concerning that Amestris employed...

...regardless, he was not a fresh recruit. He was hardened; he would not have been chosen for this mission if anything Amestris was suspected of having would have stunned him.

He got out a grenade, pulled the pin...measured the distance...and tossed it inside the now-open suit!

"TAKE COVER!" he cried.

He loaded his pistol...even if the armor was down there was another one there, he saw...a short, blonde person...


Treno

As the man approached, Didymus felt like he was being warned...and his own hand was placed upon his sword. Then, the man let them pass...


“Let’s hurry.”

"Yes...let's hurry..." Didymus said. "Sister, if you would?" he indicated the reins.
"...and let us be careful. I was being warned, I believe...that man...something about him, or about what he had with him...was unnatural..."

[...]

"Wow! We made it!" Rikku cried.

"Thanks, mister!" she said to Cid. "Your airship is pretty cool!"

She looked around.

"So Yunie...that...that didn't go so well, did it? Come on! You need some cheering up, I can tell!"

She grabbed her cousin by the arm.

"There's a lot of stuff to do around here! I saw this card game place, and all these places to get food, and..." as she rattled off, she started walking, pulling Yuna along and into the streets, pretty much ignoring any protests Auron would have made...

Ankh-Morpork

The two floating artillery-balloons were destroyed in a single salvo by Mustang, blasted apart by superior firepower. They withstood only the first few seconds of assault (which was still damn impressive, showing that they were nigh bullet-proof), but Mustang's attack was just too much. Both of the things exploded in the salvo, covering the area in toxic, viral fumes again.

Seylen, the shadow-man, bounced away from Spork, growling. His attack force was destroyed. No... Almost the entire attack force that was launched through the city was destroyed. Well, at least the job here was done. The demons that were released have taken over a hundred civilian victims, and this would be prime breeding ground for more Akuma...

The Earl will visit, and soon.

But for now, Seylen knew that he was going to be destroyed here if he stuck around. He was a high Level 2 Akuma, one of the Earl's best amongst the ranks. He would soon be changing to a Level 3, and he would not be destroyed here. His job was done, and he had no more reason t stick around but pride.

Time to swallow that pride.

"I'll come finish you off later. Count on it!"

And with the last salvo of shadow-projectiles, black spikes that erupted from all over his body and flew in all directions, Seylen vanished, thus removing the last of the Akuma presence from Ankh-Morpork.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treno

Allen watched the cloaked man carefully, still shaken by the sight of the dead people and destroyed ships. He was quiet, and still felt like he saw a bit too much, but he knew that the day hasn't even begun. He couldn't slow down here.

The cloaked figure didn;t register on his eye, but things rarely did without showing their inner darkness at least partially. The eye was twitching however, in that way that showed that there was a LOT of dark activity here in Treno. So much that the eye actually twanged in pain every once in a while.

If he came closer to such evil, the eye would activate and seek it... He truly hoped that it was wrong.

Not likely, but he had to hope.

Once they were let through the gates, Allen started to look around, trying to find the place which Marshall Cross has told Dagger to come to. He brought his robe's hood up, concealing his face partially, and Tim settled down on the boy's head.

"So... This is Treno. It has changed..."

-Ankh-Morpork-

Creepy Alleyway

“We should run...” Hammah said quietly. He looked at the wall and held his hands up, then punched forward, destroying the wall with a burst of flame!

There was a glow of energy down the alleyway, as Alex began to heal himself...

Spork Residence

Spork frowned. The creatures were...Some destroyed, but the bigger one had simply ran for it.

“That was...unusual...” Spork muttered. He kept his diamond sword ready though, eying Mustang and Cyrena.

“Hey!” Garet yelled, pointing his sword at Mustang. He paused, then lowered it, “Errr...You! Guy in blue! What is that you're doing anyways? Kinda seems like Psynergy, only I don't see any of the rings...”

Streets

The temperature seemed to drop, as Xehanort appeared by Kxs and Sam.

“Evil, you say? Hmmm...What have I done that was evil? I helped your friend here control her powers...Of course...I could take that away, if you don't trust me...” Xehanort smiled slightly, “Simple as that...”

Cess frowned, staying by Shimera. He wasn't sure what was going to happen...

Roxas still held his Keyblades, also unsure as to what was occuring...

Patrician's Palace

“Drumknott...”

“Sir!” Drumknott said, straightening up, as Veterni appeared to simply walk out of a wall.

“Go and find Commander Vimes. I'd like to know just has happened to my city. And find a representative from Amestries here as well. I would like to ask them too.”

“Yes sir,” Drumknott nodded, and headed off.

-Central-

Ansem's House

Galv placed the blood away, careful not to touch any of the odd mixtures Ansem had in his basement. He didn't want to get turned into something...besides, with the Bond he had with Melanie, it would probably affect her too.

He climbed back up the stairs, pausing, then smiled for some reason, and then headed back into the guest room.

“Okay, I put it up...do you need anything Melanie? Something else to eat? A drink?” Galv wondered.

-Treno-

Rincewind breathed deeply as they were let through. The wagon started inside, Sora and Kairi looking around. Rincewind had been here before. Briefly, he saw most things as a blur.

“So where are we headed then?” Rincewind wondered, “Please say through the other gate...”

Ankh-Morpork-

"Good idea" Crystal stated "Hammah, keep your hands up and if he follows I want you to do that again...We need to find somewhere safe to stay until the boys come..."

And with that the girl glared at Alex "Leave the Avatar ALONE." she stated 'If not, you'll regret it."

And with that the girl bolted away, holding Hammah tightly.

Ansem's House-

At first Melanie didn't notice Galv come back in, as her eyes were shut tightly. But when he spoke the girl looked over and offered a tiny smile. "I'm fine, it's nothing really"

To show this she sat up, hopping from the bed. Of course, she had just lost a bowl of blood. The girl swayed and fell forward, landing on the floor with a thump.

"....I probably should have seen that coming....Owww"

Hammah nodded, ready to attack again if needed...He didn't want to lose his new mother...

“Let's go...” Hammah said, taking Crystal's hand and getting ready to run.

-Central: Ansem's House-

“Ack! Melanie!” Galv said. He paused, feeling slightly woozy himself. This bond was certainly bringing around a lot of new experiences...

He bent down, grabbing Melanie softly and helping her back up, into sitting position. He paused...He was very close to her again.

“Don't try and kiss her again...Don't...you'll just mess things up again...” Galv thought to himself, blushing brightly.

-Ankh-Morpork-

The two rushed off once more, Crystal trying to keep the quick pace in effort not to be followed. She was really worried about Sama and Spork now, especially if there were more people like Alex....Plus he mentioned alchemists...

Crystal desprately wanted to turn back...But for now she had to take care of Hammah...The small boy was depending on her...

"We'll find an abandoned place outside of town...The guys will find us there..."

Central: Ansem's House-

Melanie winced when she fell, as naturally she threw her hands under her in effort not to fall. Too her arm had just been bandaged. Luckily Galv was quickly at her side.

"T-thanks" she said embarrassed, looking up at him...Wow. He was close.

Once again, her face would have went red if she had not drained her blood. For now she just looked pale.

His hands were also really warm...Or maybe she was just exceedingly cold. Maybe both.

And he smelled like...Well she wasn't sure what it was. Maybe it was just what boy's smelled like. It wasn't bad, not sweet, it sort of reminded her of the intense her mother burned sometimes. Maybe embers?

Oh geez, she was thinking entirely too much into this.

Sam's eyes widened, quickly picking up his weapon and getting into a defensive stance in front of KxS. That old man...I know I can't beat him, but I'll sure try to! His eyes glimmered with determination, almost as if a father wolf was protecting it's pups. He felt his hands shaking with rage and fear as he gulped rather quietly, moving close to KxS.

"Sam, wait!" KxS shouted at Sam. She got in front of them. "Sam, please...he's trying to help people..." she said, trying to get him to stand down.

"Cess, what should we do?" Shimera asked, just as unsure as her necromancer boyfriend friend.

Alex sighed.

“Well, at least I know the Avatar is here. I wonder if the Amestrians will capture him...doubtful though,” Alex muttered to himself, “I do want to find the connection...Malificent has been very helpful...”



“Okay!” Hammah nodded, running with her, hoping they wouldn't run into anyone else.

Streets

Xehanort narrowed his eyes at Sam, frowning.

“I don't want to have to kill you, boy,” Xehanort said. “If you attack me though, I will be forced to...defend myself...”

Roxas twitched, wondering if he should jump in and attack Sam. Namine took his hand, and he paused, calming down...for now.

“The girl wishes to control her power. I simply need some help from her in exchange for the deed done,” Master Xehanort continued, “That's it...What is so wrong with this?”


“Shimera...” Cess muttered, “I'm getting a bad vibe from that guy...something is definitely wrong with him. I don't know if we can take him if something happens...”

-Central: Ansem's House-

“It's...it's no problem,” Galv said. She seemed...cold. But that just made him want to hug or something, and help warm her up.

“Errr...do...do you need a blanket, or something?” Galv wondered, blushing redder. Stuff like this wasn't usually covered in Paladin School. Though there probably isn't a Paladin School, but the image of people in armor in desks amuses me.

Sam looked at KxS, gritting his teeth. Sam then looked at Xehanort...he was powerful. Really, really powerful... I know I can't take him...I know if I try, I'll die trying, probably... The teen walked toward Cess and Shimera, having given up.

KxS watched Sam walk off. She seemed...disappointed. She seemed to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Either she could trust Xehanort and keep her ability to control herself, or she could believe Sam and be a monster again...

Still, something didn't seem right.


Shimera looked toward Xehanort, then at Sam. "Why isn't she coming?" she asked, her fists to her chest.

"...I...give up." Sam closed his eyes. "...There isn't any way for me to convince her...and I can't protect her for what he might do...and I can't fight him, either. All I am is a werewolf with no control of my pwoer yet, and even them, I'm just a swordsman. I don't have much except for strength and wit, and even then, I'm lacking...I think it's time I gave up..."

The Crazy One

[Alexandria Castle]

Garland hesitated as he took a step off the raised platform where the throne sat. He slowly walked to Beatrix, his blue cape dragging behind him on the ground. He waited, studiously watching Beatrix’s face.

“… Is something wrong, General? You don’t seem yourself.” He paused, and glanced to Belleza. “… Is this about what happened in Amestris?”

He was talking about when Garland told Beatrix of many things at Laboratory Five.

[Ankh-Morpork]

[(Ruins of) Spork Residence]

When the main monster escaped, and the minions were destroyed, it left an odd situation to grow even odder. Mustang, Hawkeye and Cyrena were still agents of Amestris, and Sama, Spork and Garet were all still fugitives of Amestris – well, Sama and Garet were at least, and Spork had helped them so he likely was now too.

Garet was now yelling at Mustang. The Colonel paused.

“Psynergy? No. That was alchemy. It’s a simple matter of rearranging the molecules of the oxygen, and then using my gloves to produce a spark. The end result allows me to manipulate flames.”

He looked at Garet’s clothing, and his unique red hair. He matched the description of one of the Avatar’s ‘known associates’ from the murder of the Fuhrer.

Then he cast a glance at Spork. He did not match any of the fugitives – but he was clearly a Bender, and someone who was helping the Avatar. That made him, at the very least, a ‘person of interest’.

Finally, Mustang looked to Sama; who was glaring back at Mustang with hatred. The two recognized one another. Long ago, Mustang had been involved in the raid of the Bending Valley. He had led the attack – though it was Bradley himself who had killed Sama’s ‘father’.

“… I did not kill your Fuhrer.” Sama stated bluntly. “… Though whoever did has my eternal thanks.”

Mustang’s face was solid and stoic. He could not speak freely in front of Cyrena.

“It’s not my job to decide if you’re speaking honestly or not. My job is to capture you, and take you back to Amestris for a trial.” Mustang answered matter-of-factly.

Sama growled, and clenched his fists. “Your JOB? Just like it was your JOB to slaughter my people!? Just like it was your JOB to destroy my homeland, and turn us into vagabonds!? Tell me, Colonel, I know Amestris has metal limb replacements… have they a metal replacement for a heart now, as well? How about a soul?”

Mustang flinched, and dropped his gaze to his shoes.

“… You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Hawkeye suddenly spoke up, her gun now fixed on Sama.

“Oh yes I do,” Sama snapped back. “I was THERE when you slaughtered my people!”

As Sama yelled at Hawkeye, his hand moves instinctively to his chest. There was a scar there from when she shot him. Seeing her again was reminding Sama of his near-fatal incident on that day when his entire life was changed forever.

“… You don’t understand what—” Hawkeye started to speak up, but Mustang held up his hand.

“Enough.” Mustang shook his head. “… You are under arrest, Avatar of the Bending Nation.”

[Treno]

[South Gate]

The Southern Gate of Treno was near the road, and where the wagon from Ankh-Morpork had come in. The man in the cloak seemed to walk away very quickly and vanish into a crowd.

Very soon, the wagon had come to a stop. Those aboard would be asked to walk from here. That was alright with Garnet, who was eager to get to Doctor Tot.

“I know Doctor Tot lives in an observatory in town.” Garnet told the others.

“What’s your hurry? I’d love to show you around the city.” Zidane offered with a sly grin.

“… My HURRY is trying to prevent this war from worsening, in case you’ve forgotten. I hardly have time for some swine’s romantic passes.” Garnet spat back at him, really annoyed with his flirtation. She did not realize that saying she had no time for romance might also annoy another in their party.

[North Gate]

The Northern Gate was used for Airships, as it was close to the mountain range. It was through this gate that Cid, Rikku, Yuna and Auron had come. Cid stayed behind at the airship to make a few repairs, while Yuna and her two guardians set off into the city.

“… Rikku, I have failed.” Yuna said sadly, oblivious to her cousin’s attempts at cheering her up. “… I wanted to save Treno, but in doing so, I may have cursed my mission.”

[Central City]

[Machine Corps]

“ALPHONSE!”

“B-Brother!”

There was an explosion, and Al’s feet were blown apart, as was most of his lower-body. The empty, broken armor fell, but the arms continued to move.

Ed, however, moved. In a flash, he had clapped his hands and smacked one onto the wall. Instantly a blue light consumed the wall and a giant fist of metal and dry wood shot forward, trying to smash into Howe’s face!

Jordan, meanwhile, had gasped again. He managed to spot movement inside, however, and he jumped past Ed and Al, heading for the larger building with his pistol in his hands.

He did not realize the movement might have been someone he knew…

[…]

“Molly, someone is coming!” Winry gasped as she saw someone running towards them.

“Molly, someone is coming!”

"When in doubt, BLOW THEM UP!" Molly exclaimed loudly from the tank, now aiming one of it's many guns at the door. Of course, said logic was kind of dangerous. Especially when it involved giant tanks.....

Luckily Molly wasn't a gunner, so she didn't really didn't know what she was doing.....Wait, that was a 'luckily'?

Central: Ansem's House

Melanie looked at Galv for a moment, confused. She then realized why he had asked.

"Oh! N-no, i'm fine! I'm just...Ummmm cold natured I guess. I don't really get any warmer....It part of my powers I guess...."
