Chapter 35: TakeOver
The trigger was pulled.
In the tension that boiled over, Riza looked to see a open hole right where the bullet shot through Roy's right eye.
Though, in an instant second, it was immediately regenerated back as Riza yet again saw the Ouroboros symbol in Roy's right eye as he placed his eyepatch back on.
"That was a little harsh don't you think?" Said Roy, more accurately, Wrath in complete control of Roy's body
He walked up to Riza and pinned her to the wall.
"Listen here Riza Hawkeye. From her on out, your going to act like nothing is completely wrong. You'll pretend that I'm normal. And you BETTER not tell anyone. Not any of our employees, not the Elrics, and especially not Alex or Akari. You got that?"
"I-Is there an or else?"
"Obviously. If I even catch a glimpse of anyone being suspicious of me, it's off with your head. Understood?"
Riza took in this situation and knew it was the best decision to not tell anyone.
"F-Fine. I won't tell."
"Splendid. To make it easier, I'll only act as Wrath around you. Everywhere else I'll let Roy back in control. So that's when you can speak with your husband."
Roy smirked and turned to walk away before speaking.
"Just you wait Riza Hawkeye. Now that I'm Führer, there's gonna be many changes within HQ. That is all. You may leave." With that, Wrath had walked out.
'Geez. This is gonna be hell.' Thought Riza.
The Next Day
Something had happened.
HQ felt different, at least, to Alex and the Elrics it did.
The peaceful, friendly vibe had vanished and got replaced by one that was very intimidating.
They looked amongst the crowd of workers and saw one familiar face in the crowd
"Hey Ed look." Said Alex.
"Hm? Oh. Hey Major Armstrong!"
Alex and the brothers walked up to the blonde man known as Major Alex Louise Armstrong.
"Hm? Why hello Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, and Alex Mustang! Has today been splendid!?" Said Armstrong in his usual loud voice.
"Yeah it has. Well, for the most part." Said Al.
"Hm? Is something troubling you Alphonse?" Said Armstrong.
"Actually, all three of us." Said Alex. "Don't you notice the feeling here is different?"
"Yeah. Like, it's not as peaceful. It feels like everyone wants to murder each other." Said Ed.
"I see. You three have noticed as well. Well, earlier this morning, Führer Mustang had suddenly released a lot of members that have been here for while. He then immediately brought in random men from the Amestris Military who were notorious for being violent. But, that's not all."
After Armstrong finished talking, the door opened and the man who stepped in shocked everyone
"Well well well! Black Ops HQ. Man have I always wanted to step foot here! And now thanks to the Flame Alchemist I am ready to make an impact!" Shouted the man as he walked in and up the stairs.
"Hey wait. That can't be..." Said Alex.
"Who the hell invited the Crimson Alchemist!? He's a madman!" Shouted Ed as Armstrong sighed.
"Roy invited Solf J. Kimblee here as a new member. Cause of that, he allowed Kimblee to be out of prison and be shipped here immediately."
The three nodded.
Hell, it was only a matter of time before Kimblee made a ruckus.
In Roy's Office
In the office sat Wrath along with the Homunculi Lust, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, and just now Kimblee had entered the room.
"Well well Führer. Glad to see you got a new fresh look. That old one got on my nerves." Said Kimblee.
"Now's not the time Kimblee." Said Wrath in full control of Roy's body. "Now that I've been given a fresh young host, I've regained the ability to regenerate. Something I had lost due to Bradley's old age. Let's just say, being in the Flame Alchemist's body has a ton of benefits and barely any negatives."
"So, why'd you sneak us in Wrath?" Asked Lust.
"For our plan. After getting word from our creator, he has big plans for Black Ops HQ. We used to be respected, but then those lowly Lastation humans lowered our reputation and into the dirt. Us Homunculi are gonna do what Akira Mustang failed to do. We're gonna take over Lastation, get back at the rotten citizens. We'll take HQ to new heights." Said Wrath revealing his plan.
"So you wanna have a conquest?" Said Pride with a smirk.
"I had to fire members who would weigh us down and hired the corrupt yes man who'd assist us no matter what. They'll be our pawns and us five Homunculi along with Kimblee will be the main pieces."
The Homunculi all smirked as Kimblee noticed something.
"Hm? Hey Führer. Your lovely spouse is coming."
"Today's meeting is over. Everyone scatter."
With that, all the homunculi left and Kimblee walked off.
Riza then walked in.
"Your coffee Führer." She said as she placed it on the desk.
"Thank you Ms. Hawkeye." Said Wrath as he got up to sip his coffee.
'They're up to something. Those fools forgot to close the door. I need to warn the others.'
Later That Night
Riza was walking to the office ready to pick up Roy's papers so they can both head back to their house.
As Riza arrived, she heard a sudden bang in the office.
She immediately rushed in.
"Roy!"
As she barged into the office, she saw Roy leaning over the desk in pain as he spoke.
"S-Screw you, you damn parasite! Get out of me! You won't, control me dammit!" Shouted what was now Roy in control of his body as he mentally was fighting Wrath.
"I waited my whole life for this, not to let you take over!"
Soon after a lot of struggling and shouting, Roy went quiet as he stood up.
Riza had watched the whole thing in shock.
"R-Roy?" She asked slowly.
"Riza. Shall we head home now?" Asked Roy.
Riza smiled and nodded as she held hands with Roy.
'Finally, he's in control.'
Midnight
Alex was sound asleep in his room. He was just hoping the feeling he had today would be gone.
Then, he has gotten a sudden phone call woke up him up.
After groaning and mumbling for a bit, he saw who was calling him.
"Hm? Aunt Riza?"
He swiped the screen and accepted the call as he spoke first.
"Hey Aunt Riza. What's up?"
All Alex heard was objects being thrown, shattered, some yelling, and screaming.
That immediately set Alex off.
But, what voice he would hear, gave him chills, as his Aunt spoke, quietly.
"A-Alex. H-Help, me."
