Disclaimer: I do not own "Full Metal Alchemist," or any characters protrayed in my story. I'm making no money from this story, though if I was, I'd be rich.
Warning: Again, none. I really don't know why I write these. Looks professional, I guess.
Author's Note: This
is the final chapter of this story. To see more of it, read my next
story, the sequal, "AfterShock" It will be a continuation of this, for
those who thouroughly enjoy my story (Linda, Tracy, ect). Have fun
reading. - Zack
On his fingers, Edward
counted out to three. Just then, they kicked down the door, and ran
in. Surprisingly, there were no enemies in the room. General Hakuro
and the Fuhrer both smiled. They hadn't been in danger at all this
whole time.
"Fury," Roy said. "It's all clear. Come in."
Fury walked in. Everyone stared at the Fuhrer, and the General. The Fuhrer slowly stood up, and walked towards the group. He closed the door, and locked it. He walked back to his desk, and motioned for everyone to come forward. They started to walk forward, when the Fuhrer ordered them to stop.
"Sir, I'm confused," Roy said, with a puzzled tone. "How is it you're perfectly safe when they threatened us with your safety? That was why we came in the first place; to protect you. But yet, you seem perfectly fine."
"Mustang, and his little merry band of soldiers. I'm glad this has come. You came to save me. As expected. Now, perish!" Yelled the Fuhrer.
"Fuhrer!" Roy exclaimed, even more puzzled.
General Hakuro pushed a button, and bars slammed down over the door. They were all locked in. General Hakuro pulled out a gun, and the Fuhrer drew his sword. He charged directly at Mustang, who snapped, and hesitantly attacked the Fuhrer. Armstrong saw Hakuro trying to sneak away, and fired a projectile at him. He got hit in the back, and fell over, dead.
"I told him he was a fool to stay," said the Fuhrer. "But you all will die by my hand."
Riza ran behind the Fuhrer's desk, for cover, and started firing rounds into him. Roy was dodging the Fuhrer's attacks, and trying to attack, but had no time. Edward was using alchemy, trying to trip the Fuhrer, to give Roy an advantage. Havoc, Breda, Falman, and Fury just ran over, and started firing (With the exception of Fury) bullets into the Fuhrer's back. He didn't seem to feel it, and every time a bullet pierced his skin, it just regenerated.
The Fuhrer charged at Roy, who got slashed by the sword. It cut his left arm. Riza fired a bullet into the Fuhrer's head. The Fuhrer turned and said "Play time's over, missy," and then charged at Riza. She continued to fire shots into his head, when a blaze came from behind, and burned the Fuhrer. He fell over, and then got back up. Everyone stopped firing, in fear of hitting Roy.
At that moment, Edward transmuted his auto mail into a sword, and lashed at the Fuhrer, when he didn't expect it. The Fuhrer went for Ed now, who was dodging all of the Fuhrer's attacks quite easily. Roy again attacked the Fuhrer.
"Come on Roy. You know you shouldn't anger me," the Fuhrer said angrily. Again, he charged at Riza. Riza tried to back up, but the Fuhrer cut her cheek. She fell over, bleeding quite badly. She reached for her cheek, and a thin gash of red was on her hand. Armstrong saw this, and looked at Roy, who nodded. They decided to use a technique they used during the Ishbal Massacre. They told Ed to go put up a barrier around everyone, including himself, and he went to do so. The Fuhrer lashed at Riza again, and cut her side. Roy began to attack the Fuhrer with his flames.
"I've had enough of your toying, Colonel," the Fuhrer said. "Here I come!"
Armstrong punched a block, just as Ed got a stone wall around himself, and left Roy, Armstrong, and the Fuhrer to a fight. Roy used his flames, which split the towering ballistic into many smaller ones. They stuck to the Fuhrer. He went after Armstrong now, and Roy snapped, burning the Fuhrer once more.
As Armstrong backed up, he tripped. The Fuhrer lunged on top of him. He raised his sword, and was ready to strike it down, when Roy grabbed the Fuhrer's arm, with both hands. The Fuhrer was thrown off guard, and Armstrong punched him in the face. The Fuhrer threw up some red stone material. Roy realized what it was immediately. Part of the Fuhrer's life source. Roy engulfed the Fuhrer in flames. He melted, and threw up more stone material.
He went at Mustang, who ducked, and dodged his first strike with the sword. The Fuhrer caught him with the second and third strikes though. One went through Roy's shoulder, and the other through his lower stomach. Roy fell over, and Armstrong punched the Fuhrer.
Three shots were fired. Roy looked over to see Riza, standing, with her gun pointed at the Fuhrer. Edward jumped, and struck the Fuhrer with his sword, making him lose the rest of his red stone material. Roy had everyone backup, and burned the Fuhrer four times, before he shriveled up, and died. Roy saw everyone, alive. He smiled to see that everyone was alright.
He hugged Riza, and then both fell over. From the blood-loss, both had gone unconscious. They passed out, hugging. Together forever, they'd never be separated. Edward and everyone, save Armstrong, who was to watch over Roy and Riza, ran to get nurses.
Roy and Riza were in the hospital, fifteen minutes later. Both bandaged, and bruised, they were alive. Fury stood next to them, with a cast on his hand, where he was shot. Havoc had crutches, for his bruised leg (He just wanted to hit on the nurse). Breda, and Falman, who received not a single scratch, stood next to Mustang and Hawkeye, smiling at them. Armstrong was crying, because he witnessed them awake, after thinking they had died. Ed was holding an ice pack on his cheek, but gave the Colonel a thumbs-up.
Two nurses came in, and told Roy and Riza both, not to move. They could exasperate their injuries, and hurt themselves more. After days went by, and everyone stayed with Roy and Riza, as much as they could, life was not normal in the outside world. Everyone found out about the Fuhrer, being a homunculus. Everyone found out about how the Fuhrer was corrupting the military, and about Hakuro's involvement.
Roy and Riza were released from the hospital, and hurried home, to their home. While in the hospital, everything had been moved into Roy's place, since it was larger, and more exquisite. Also, Roy's house was passed down through his family. Riza's, on the other hand, wasn't.
Soon, life would be back to normal in Central. A new Fuhrer, a new reform, a new life. Everything would be renewed. Everything. Roy and Riza couldn't wait.
Author's Note: Review please, with your final thoughts of my story. Tell me what you didn't like, and I'll try to make it better in my sequal. Shamelessly plugging my sequal It will be all about Roy, Riza, the military, the state, and everything, after someone else gets power. It will focus on all the main characters, but pretty much everyone's getting a promotion. Enjoy "AfterShock"
