Soon the others got to Riza, who was clearly frustrated. "Riza, what's wrong?" Roy quizzed. "They took Zira," she said. Ed could see a bit of Zira's automail on the ground, but he had to get closer to fully see what it was. At first glance, he thought it was an actual arm, and jumped back.

"What the heck?!" He yelled, as he did jump back. Riza turned to him. "Apparently she had automail..." Ed picked it up, looking. "Huh, I guess it is..."

"We gotta find her!" Al said, worried. Ed put his hand on Al's shoulder, having set Zira's automail down. "It'll be okay Al, we'll find her," he reassured. At least, I hope we do...

"What did you tell them?!" "I didn't tell them anything Toza! Although I probably should have!" He kicked her in the face.

"Tch... You've done worse," she growled. "Oh, so that's how you want to be? Alrighty then Zira, we'll have it your way."

She tensed up. Dear God... Please no...

"Nicole," Toza turned to the woman, "get the others, you all know what to do." She simply nodded, getting the other men. They came in, all of them managing to get the struggling Zira strapped down to a table so she couldn't move.

"No!" She screamed, trying to break free. They made sure she couldn't, however.

Toza got his knife, burning the blade so it would hurt Zira more. He put it on Zira's leg, and she clenched her teeth.

She then realized that he was going to cut off her right leg, just like he had cut off her right arm. She braced herself for what was to come, but that wouldn't change the pain she would feel...

He finally got to the bone, moving the knife slower. Zira screamed in pain, wanting it to all be over soon. Once he became too impatient to simply cut through the bone slowly, he began bringing the knife back, and bringing it down on her bone as hard as he could, as she screamed.

He was soon through the bone, and cutting through the rest of her flesh. One of the other men got her bleeding to stop, but this time, they simply wrapped what was left of her leg. They didn't give her any automail to replace it.

They got her loose from her bindings, knowing she couldn't really do much, not after all of that.

They left her there, like they were leaving her for dead...
