"Reinforcements?? fuckers, do we look like we need reinforcements?" A loud thud on a table, sitting in a chair - an angry Lieutenant, waist long golden blonde hair, her face snow white and smooth as silk that compliments her pure blue eyes now slanted in such a manner that - the lieutenant displays anger, so much so - that it invokes a slight itch on Colonel Mustang, who gave out the reinforcement order. "Who's squad is it anyway?" the Lieutenant asked.
A bespectacled - dark skinned - dark eyes with a touch of erotic look all throughout, a soldier secretary standing on the other end of the table answered "Captain Dei-kong, rose order, batch 88, Ma'am!"
"so it's my brother! huh?"
"Sir Mustang really does know his pawns" the lieutenant breathed out a sigh of relief.
Again the reporter, the secretary spoke, "And Captain Bartholomew, rose order, batch 88 and his squadron are set for Pilatun valley for training".
"Bart?!! He's coming??".
"But I thought the King declared he's bounded on simple patrol duties?" the lieutenant in spite of her demeanor acted differently, much annoyed by a soldier on the door - handling repairs, "loo-look Angus, I've never seen her act like that!!" one of them called out to the other "Who?" Angus replied, "The lieutenant, she's acting like a teenage girl seeing her crush or something".
the other replied, "Ajing! you're just delusional! Open your eyes a bit more will ya?! haha sorry Dude!" Angus replied with a little bit of racial implementation. "No seriously I saw her go 'ieeee' like she's shy and all", Ajing replied.
" Dude! be real, I'd be surprised if there's a soul in the entire Kingdom to meet the eye of our beautiful Lieutenant - her blue eyes, busty hips and chests - her commanding yet seductive voice - her lips - her height just right - Just hear me dude - no one I mean no ooone ----" Angus stopped in his praise by Ajing pointing inside the Lieutenant office, and Angus looked in curiousity.
Inside the lieutenant was exactly as Ajing described - like a teenage girl going 'ieee' - blushing - weak on the knees and only composed herself when she heard a little bump on the door, caused by the two peeping toms.
"See??" Ajing heart pounding
"Yeea! Gosh I wish she was thinking of me" said Angus, getting lost in fantasy.
"So be it! Give the approval in the gate! and Hemi get the baths prepared later! Lilac will be nice" The lieutenant said, as she sat down in her chair again looking at the maps - laid out flat in the table. "Yes ma'am! I'll take my leave" Hemi replied with a salute. Hemi left the Lieutenant and tried opening the door but it won't budge, she turned around, the lieutenant aware , she gave a thumbs up and - Hemi kicked the door open - literally frightening the two - Angus and Ajing.
"Ohh! Hemi who were you talking about?" they asked.
"Reinforcements and someone special" she said.
"Special? like a boyfriend?" asked Angus.
"I don't know but It makes me want to see him, a face, a man that the lieutenant acknowledges" her tone was seductive, she looked up at the sky her hair off-white rugged like ropes yet so delicate reached far down to her waist, she blushed - she looked like a freak with a taste of bondage, she paused for a moment in that pose and snapped back.
"Back to work idiots" she said and walked away, "our women are crazy dude" Angus remarked and "YEA!" Ajing replied.
"we *hiccup* we *hiccup* wee-- are the strong monkeys, going to the we-*hiccup* west - so strong the Kong monkeys ---- owee" A man shouted in pain, his face was smooth too, smooth throughout with no facial hairs to compliment his pointed chin, droopy brown eyes and his voice dictates he's drunk - "Za fuck zsre you thi--thinking vWalter?" the man shouted at another, who's eyes barely open - the face like a blank page with little design but the nose out of proportion - long and stumpy "Wh--what's with eating my hair?" he said. "Huhh?" replied Walter also drunk and chewing on the ends of a black tied hair, "zthats my hair, you ass" said the man pulling it away "oww! ass, eat your own hair jack ass" scrubbing his long black hair tied in a ponytail.
"Ii am your Captain!!, you know that Walter" he continued. "So-rry Dei,I jus- isn't it noodles? " Walter replied barely speaking, "Noodles? Imm cutting your wage ass, my proud hair, thi-this is Dei-Kong's one and only weapon", the man paused and then again gibberish-ly he spoke " D- do, --- you kn-w I'm Your captain ri*hiccup* right?".
"Dei-Kong" Walter fell and passed out, "ge-get up you" "I am done with this" Dei-kong the drunk stood and he to passed out. "What's with the Captain and squad leader? Sir Targen? " A soldier asked a higher ranked individual "Don't mind them, just eat, they're just being themselves" Targen replied, Re-tying his own but short ponytail. Dei-Kong's squadron were already on the move towards Watchers keep.
"So this is what you meant!" Mustang asked Lucy, his mean rugged face, holds a strict little smile, which Lucy took as a good sign, her lively cheeks and round eyes peaked in happiness.
"Yes sir!" Lucy said, the boys standing behind.
Mustang and the three were separated by a wooden table, "Lucy, I'll have a chat with these two, meanwhile you have unfinished paper-works" said Mustang, looking at Lucy's table on the far left of his office. Lucy in turn *gulped* the papers sky high, "Yes sir!" she said, with a downed voice, she like a zombie walked towards her desk.
"Wee were told that a 50000 bounty was promised!?" Szlick straight to the point. Mustang stared at this scrawny - squared jaw - thin delinquent looking child talking casually with him and answered, "Do we now?" Mustang turned towards Lucy - who, when seen quickly hid behind the skyscraper like piles of paper. "Don't think we'll be getting that cash Szlick!" said Lu, staring dead at the colonel, eye to eye. The colonel in turn didn't budge he in his mind judged the boys in appearance first the scrawny kid now this oval faced - his fine shirtless body seemed like it's in a stage of growing - his pure pitch black slightly slanted eyes staring right at him. 'They got spunk' he thought. Lucy peeped from the papers, she feared the air in the office was tenser than usual.
"Easy boys! " We just want the money Sir! Giant slayers? Giant money?" Szlick said, sensing the tension. "I don't like lies" said Lu completely disregarding Mustang, he walked towards Lucy, who when she saw Lu - tried to cover he face, first she tied her hair but her bangs and the overall length was a tad short - In panic she hid under the table, "Are you a liar?" Lu suddenly boo-ed the poor secretary, who in natural response to a jump scare bumped her head in the table dropping her glasses, picking it up and rubbing the glasses clean and said "I didn't exactly lie" with a pout - staring down at the ground - her cute brown with a hint of black eyes looking a little to the left, "You did too--" Lu turnt at Mustang "the old guy smells like he's not giving the loot".
"Take a seat Boy!" Mustang with a gentle but commanding voice, "Or what?" Lu replied, Szlick casually - lazily sat in the chair right in front of Mustang, enjoying yet a another show 'never boring' he thought, quite pleased partnering with Lu. All the whole tension rises between Mustang and Lu. Mustang seemed to lose his cool and pointed at Lu and said, "Sit". Szlick felt a ripper's power, and Lucy too but not from the aura but through her experience - she was scared senseless, to the two blues surprise Lu still just casually stood there looking at Mustang, his eyes same as usual only emotion he emitted was of being laid back yet foul mouthed yet still soothing a strange concoction, "Fuck you pointing at me for?, gimme the loot and we'll leave".The colonel surprised retracted his arm looked at it for a moment and resumed to point at Lu again but this time with more power as judged and felt by Szlick, but yet again nothing happened. Lu clueless since this time the Colonel uttered no words, he looked at Lucy and said, "Liar! Why's one eye pointing at me?".
Lucy scared shitless, " One eye? I -I dont't know what's happening " she just screamed. Mustang unsure of the situation and about his Un-effective power he grew stresses for a bit and turned his sight on Szlick, the latter lazily looking at Szlick, right then and there Szlick felt a force and before he could make a move, he fell straight down to the basement - alerting the soldiers in the Infirmary, the Colonel move's sent Szlick crashing down three hard-wood floors. Just as Szlick got one uped, Lu immediately leapt towards Mustang from the far end of Lucy's desk, one giant leap for a man but a simple short jump from a strong ripper. Mustang took a notice and stretched out his arms - palms out - a Buddha's palm - invoking an unseen force - like barrier, resulting in a slightly visible shift of air, the force resonated from Mustang and using his body as an epicenter the force like barrier pushed outwards-towards the palms with speed so fast it visibly folded - shifted the air - oxygen slightly. Lu's leapt was instant fast, so was Mustang's reaction, Lu yanked out a big right - like a thrust from a spear but a fist, the fist directly hit the colonel in the face, sending him flying to the wall -in the right side of his office-he was almost knocked out, almost blasted through the wall, but years of training and his beyond expertise in power control enabled him to cast a cushion effect of pure force - cushioning his impact with the wall. Lu a bit disappointed, "You shuda just fly through the thing, one eye" cracking his fist - wanting more. All the while a scared Lucy slowly uttered, "Stop- this isn't suppose to happen". hands on her face covering her nose and below, " Stop, stop, stop, stop, pleasee".
Double trouble for Mustang, Szlick just shot up from the basement, purposed-ly making another hole - the soldiers peeping down and up barely was Unfazed by the new hole, it was as though all the soldiers - the knights hurried up to the third floor where the colonel was.
"Try that again old man! " Szlick tongue out, continuously tapping his foot.
"Sir it's from inside the Colonel's office" a young soldier reported to his higher up, two officials - one old - one in his thirties, "Then hurry up there!" the younger gave an order, a young brown haired individual, looked capable enough, his face looked worn- ed, given his age. They finally made it to the Colonel's floor and cramped themselves in the narrow hallway, and they knocked, "Permission to come in Sir!" the soldier said, "At ease soldier!" Mustang replied. "What do we do, Sir ?" . "He didn't say wait did he?" a grey haired balding old man, glasses to match his age, face like a wrinkled fabric, kindness reeks from it but the eyes show a shrewd intellect-given the color grey.
Inside Szlick itching for combat continuously tapped his foot - creating momentum, Lu stepped back and stood on top the colonel's table, "Come on!! Make a move" Szlick on the move and ever so ready for a throw down, "Getting cocky boys!" The colonel spoke, he took off jacket. Szlick smiled and said, "Lu this one's on me" "Wooo--" excited and aching for revenge, "Whatever bro, I'll ask the liar for the loot" Said Lu jumping from the table, but then Lucy who couldn't stand it anymore shouted, "STOP THIS". The three surprised, the frailest among but the scream- the voice so strong, with tears she screamed, just like that the two stood low and laid down their guard, Szlick halted his foot, the colonel cracked a hard smile slightly and Lu stared at Lucy the latter did too- with eyes still teary. " Stop this please, I just wanted a promotion not this madness I'm sorry!", she apologizes. "It was I who wanted this meeting" Mustang said, "*Ahem* Boys! Gentlemen! That was a fine greeting", "However regarding your reward, Genges wasn't captured, strange as it was your reward is nulled".
" What? I tore his leg apart, he'd be like a vegetable with all that blood loss" Szlick surprised a bit, "Well, This sucks" Lu remarked, bummed out, "But there's an alternate! " Mustang added, "What's alternate?" Lu asked, "A different way to get the reward".
" We're all ears" said Szlick, like nothing happened the two quickly sat down - instant - the speed, face to face with Mustang again. "Consider this, join the military, you will be given monthly wages and I'll add the reward as a bonus", "And to you as well!" Mustang stared at Lucy, to the latter's surprised-with the sudden change of air and the sudden promotion and job hand out, she took slow to react but slowly her mouth went agape.
"So?" Mustang took his sight back to the boys and "Meh! Fuck that" Lu said, Szlick just laughed.
But dumbfounded were the rest even the soldiers outside all questioned what they all just heard but Mustang, his face was serious as ever - a poker face? or he assumed they'd reject the offer, still he asked, "Why?".
"Responsibilities!? No thanks" Lu answered, "We - all about freedom in here" Szlick added. "Are you two stupid, a knight is respectable and the reward its 50000?" Lucy shouted at the two, "Sorry sir!" she added bowing her head, "From your action here you'll be branded criminals and forbidden to enter this town ever again" said Mustang, his eyes closed.
"Don't care! No is no" Lu made up his mind, Szlick finger tapped his thigh in quick succession - like silent horses running round, for him the town nay the bar was a golden place, a treasure to be protected - an addiction he couldn't let go, so he came up with an idea in the spot, "Situation reads that we're already bounty hunters right?" he said, "More or less" the Mustang replied, "Soo--we're bounty hunters then", "We aren't criminals then, right?" he looked at Mustang and, " Right Lu?" looking at Lu, "Eh! I don't care about any of this" Lu bluntly said. "So we're bounty hunters".
" We can't be arrested now, we're blues without uniforms" Szlick said arms wide open, absolutely hated to be banned from the town. "Stupid idiots!!" Lucy shouted again, "don't you ever read pamphlets?, Bounty hunting is banned now, so is being a Mercenary or any other ceries, only Knights and the lawmen are branded legal", " It's the new decree and literally EVERYONE is talking about the rise in recruitment, where the hell are you guys from? idiots!".
"Lucy's right! It's either the military or--" said Mustang, "We'll take the or" Szlick quick in response, "I don't need towns Szlick, I'm leaving" said Lu standing up , "Nice to not meet you all" he said,looking at Lucy "Liar!" and moved towards the door, "Leader wait! let's hear the Or first" said Szlick the 'Leader' completely halts Lu at his motion, "Right?! The or is the idea of Guilds" said Mustang hands on his table - fingers crossed and on his chin. "Guild?" Lu confused, so was everyone,"like the Merchants?" Szlick asked, "Fuck selling things, responsibilities" Lu like a baby, "Would you just shut up" a book landed at Lu's head, Lucy pulled the trigger.
