Metal Vs Storm

Mission in North

    “That bad huh?” Toshiro frowned at Edward’s response to the new things they uncovered. They were all currently in the brother’s apartment thinking of what to do next and by they meant Alphonse, Edward, Scar, an unconscious Mei and Toshiro.
“This is getting ridiculous, this story needs to end and soon.” Toshiro sighed though his nose as his hands rubbed his eyes, he couldn’t remember when was the last time he slept.

“What’s the plan now Ace?” Scar looked at Toshiro, “I am aware that now that you have me, you won’t let go so easily, so what to you plan to do next?”

“Why is he still with us?!” Edward hands were formed into tight fists.

“Guys, I think she’s waking up.” Alphonse’s comment and a light groan from Mei at the couch shut them up.

“We need to get that child to a doctor, she may have a concussion.” Scar almost sounded…..like he cared.

“Vadim is right, we need to split up if we wish to succeed.” Toshiro nodded.

“Succeed at what exactly?” Alphonse asked.

“At beating these guys at their own game of course.” The white and blond- haired alchemists replied at the same time.

The deadline was coming, in three days, Edward and Toshiro were to be in North, plan was decided, there would be two groups.

Group A included Toshiro and the brothers.

Group B included Scar, Mei and a man named Yoki.

Both groups would move to one position, they were first to find a man buy the man of Yoki, he was one of the few followers of Scar, he used to be one of the soldiers and commanded a small system of his own. Edward recognised him as one of the men that had conned a village and was put out of business. With Yoki, who was not hard to find, a doctor was to be located for Mei, she seemed well, but the others still wanted to be sure as she was too quiet for their liking.

The doctor that they were looking for was non-other than the infamous Dr. Marcoh, a man who did research in the Red stone.

Toshiro, who knew Dr. Marcoh, also knew something else, the man was reported missing. That came with a simple reply, ‘look to the mountains, that is where he will be’ Scar’s words.

They had all boarded the train North and while on the outside they looked like normal people in normal work paces, in their heads and souls, a fire was burning brightly.

……The plan was in motion….

ABOARD THE TRAIN………..

Night had descended upon the sky, the train was quiet as it rumbled along. Everyone was sleeping, all except a large armour and two alchemists.
“Remember, we won’t be able to stay out long in this snow.” Toshiro warned Edward who chewed on his nail.

“This definity makes things harder.” Alphonse rumbled.

“Automail sucks big time.” Edward huffed as he rubbed his leg, as the altitude slowly increased, his leg and arm began to hurt more. “Hey, come yours isn’t bothering you?” he looked to the calm white-haired alchemist.

“That’s because I am already using Northern automail and besides, it’s mostly numb.”

Alphonse hummed in thought. “I was wondering.” The both looked at him, “That automail you have, from what you’ve told us, I’m guessing that it came from the explosion, am I right?” Toshiro looked at him and then out the window again, he nodded as he sighed, sensing a ‘but’.
“But one thing doesn’t make sense.” Edward continued for his brother. “How did you become a chimera?”

That’s when the Ice-alchemist’s eyes turned deadly cold. “By the hands of a monster who doesn’t deserve to live.”

The eyes of the brothers widened. “What I’m about to tell you, you are to never to repeat again, am I right?”
