Bluebird's Resolutions: Pride Unleashed

Seek and Destroy

Sorry for the wait everyone. My intention is to type up long chapters, so added onto that factor which is making me take as long as I am is the fact that real life issues have come up. But I certainly have not quitted yet, not by a long shot.

Before I start the chapter, here are some general pointers about my switches in writing style modes. These rules do not ALWAYS apply, but it does for the most part.

When something's written like this, it's just regular storytelling without dialogue and without any of the below modes; this makes up most of the chapters.

'When something's written like this', it's a statement from someone's thoughts OR if they are at the Gate 'speaking'.

"When something's written like this", it's just regular dialogue from the characters.

"When something's written like this", the character IS talking, but in a low tone or even whisper; and sometimes, lines like this could be used for flashbacks.

When something's written like this, then it is the lyrics from a song of my choosing, and each chapter will have at least one different song representing it.

"When something's written like this", the character is spewing words in a venomous or ferocious fashion, usually when they're pissed off or something else is happening to them...

When something's written like this, it's to tell the reader when part of the chapter is temporarily changing the storytelling to another time, place, etc.

More modes might be added. But also keep in mind the punctuations marks used at the end of sentences as well.

CHAPTER 2: Seek and Destroy

Days Earlier...

On the night of Pride's birth, Hawkeye and Havoc went through with their search plans during the dead of night. Both were getting tired from working in Central Headquarters all day looking for the missing tetrad. By now, Hawkeye had developed a mild headache from the stress of not finding any signs of them, but she was not willing to back down from searching today just yet. Not until she found at least something of importance. Havoc admitted he was getting tired, but he himself desperately wanted to find their friends and the Fuhrer and prepared accordingly by drinking a few cups of coffee. He would stick by Riza even until it was time for the sun to rise. H

The search team also found no signs of the missing four, however, they were dismissed earlier due to regular military work protocols. Jean and Riza were dismissed shortly after, when all the other higher rank officers were, and it was still very early in the evening. They tagged along with Breda, Falman and Fuery and discussed things very quickly with them, before the three soldiers headed for their dorms. Jean told them they would be searching around the city without them, but all four of them were given the same task by the military. They were supposed to read through some military paperwork that each of them were given by superiors in order to further find more clues about the Fuhrer's possible whereabouts. It was getting late soon, and the military couldn't search the city the whole night, so it was about time that they did 'quiet work' instead. Other military personnel of their status or lower were given the same 'homework'. Knowing about Havoc and Hawkeye's search and how it might take the whole night, they offered to help them out with their own stacks of paper. If the Fuhrer went missing the same day as Mustang, Edward and Alphonse, they all concluded that it was obviously more than just coincidence. But what was the connection? That is what they were trying to find out on their own, with and without the military's involvement at the same time.
