((Haha! xD))
Riza quickly ran outside. "I hope it's not too late." she muttered, getting into Roy's land speeder.
~~~
Ed was too petrified to even ask Al who Naheela was. "Quick! Get on the speeder!" he yelled, pushing Al toward the vehicle just as something whacked him in the head hard. He fell to the ground and groaned, looking at the blood that splattered on to the sand. He quickly rolled on his back to see a Tuscan Raider standing above him and screech while waving it's gaffi stick above it's head.

Alphonse, in a fit of insanity, tackled the beast to the ground. The second it hit the sandy ground, He bolted, grabbing Ed's arm and pulled him onto the swoop bike. Al's hands were trembling as he gripped the handles and tried to start the bike. It growled and sputtered helpless, as if it too were terrified of the creature getting to it's feet. "COME ON DAMMIT!" He screamed, but to no avail.
Desperately he grabbed a destroyed Coolant pipe and stood between Ed and the creature. "You can't have him!" His cry was wavering, but defiant.... and it made no difference. The raider's hand struck, knocking Alphonse aside by a good 10 feet. The world flew by as flashes of sky, sand, blue, and orange before it all collapsed to darkness.

"Alphonse!!" Edward yelled and glared at the Tuscan through one eye, the other being covered by blood. R2 whistle and wailed, rocking back and forth in the cart feeling helpless. There was a loud "WAAAAAAAHHH!" that came from the droid, warning Ed that more Raiders were on their way. Ed quickly pulled Al over next to him, to protect his unconscious brother and looked around, desperately for help as the Raider closed in on him. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolded it, relieving a circle of some kind. "I hope this works..." he muttered and placed the paper on the ground. He then clapped his hands and touched the paper. The paper sizzled and cracked with the glow of blue electricy and the sand beneath it slowly erected into a long metal spear. The Raider was startled at what Edward did and quickly scampered away as the small blond pointed the spear in his direction. After they were gone, Ed let out a sigh of relief.

(( FIRST APPEARANCE OF ALCHEMY! You just got owned Sand raider!.... :3 yay~ ))
Roy saw the lightning in the distance, his eyes narrowing. "I think this may have gotten a bit farther out of hand than you hoped, Riza..." He said and accelerated towards the display of lights.
----
Alphonse twitched and slowly rolled onto his side. Spying the weapon in Ed's hand, he managed a sheepish grin. "Sorry Ed.... I thought I could take him..." He tried not to overreact to Ed's wound on his eye and hobbled to the swoop bike for an emergency bandage.

((YAHOO! xD))
Riza saw what Roy was looking at and frowned. "What were those lights?" she asked then gasped. She saw a heard of Tuscan Raiders scampering away on their Banthas. "Oh no! I hope the boys aren't hurt!"
~~~
Ed transmuted the spear back into the sand and looked at Al while letting out a 'heh.' "We better go. They'll be back with reinforcements." he said, walking over to R2 and patting the droid on the head as if reassuring he was fine. "Don't rush into things next time, Al." Ed was surprised. Usually Al was the calm one while Ed always was the one to run head first into action.

Alphonse was about to apologize, but was interrupted by the roar of an approaching land speeder. Roy Mustang, Local handyman (Yes... handyman... xD A useless one too.... ahme anyway), brought the vehicle to a halt and leapt out. His face was grim and perhaps a bit intimidating. Al shied away, stepping beside his brother.
Roy stood there, his hands on his hips. His cloak billowed in the wind and he glared at he two of them. For a long moment, neither said a word until... "Edward.... You've gotten taller since last I saw you... or did you just grow your hair out?"
( XD HA! )

Ed had a vein popping out of his forehead. He knew Mustang was teasing him. "And you look like you've gotten dumber. Or did your face always look like that?" he asked and pointed with a smirk.
Riza hopped out of the land speeder and ran up to Al, checking for injuries. "Thank goodness you boys are still alive. Are you hurt?" she asked Al.

Al blushed a bit, "I'm fine Riza... Ed took care of the san--" He broke off and looked away, "Ed had my back..." 'almost let it spill..
Roy smiled down at Ed, "I'm sure he did... That's a nice cut on your head there... He didn't step on you did he?" He chuckled and handed Edward a cloth to sop up the blood.

"Shut up!" Ed growled, grabbing the cloth from Roy to wipe off the blood. He was glad Al didn't let slip the alchemy part and nodded to Al.
"We should get you boys back," Riza said and stood up. She then looked at Ed's cart with R2 in the back. "We'll hook the cart up to Mr. Mustang's land speeder," she then looked at Roy. "Could you take Ed home? I'll drive Al back on the bike."

Roy thought a moment, placing a hand beneath his chin, "I don't know... do you have a booster Seat?" instinctively he stepped back to avoid any blow that might come from Edward.
Alphonse almost laughed, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he might not see Edward again. Images from dreams past drifted through his mind, blurred omens and flights of fantasy. Al walked up to Ed and hugged him. He kept a smile plastered on his face as he said a heartfelt, "I'll see you later Brother..."

Ed was about to punch Mustang in the face, slave or not, but stopped when Al came up to him and hugged him. "Yeah..." he said, hugging back. He frowned though, not exactly sure they would see each other ever again.
Riza nodded. "Alright now. Time to go," she said, placing a hand on Al's shoulder. She felt bad for tearing the two appart, but they were both slaves and according to the Hutts, they have no rights or choices. She then looked up to Roy and nodded to him.

Alphonse was barely able to let go, but feeling Riza's comforting hand helped. He stepped back, keeping his face stiff. "See you later Ed."
Roy suppressed his sympathy as best he could. He hated that these brothers were always so dramatic. (xD And Roy isn't?) With a smile, He gently placed a hand on Ed's back, "Come on... Izumi will have my head if she found out I allowed you to stay out like this..."

Ed stared at Al for awhile, unable to look away. He let out a sigh and got in the speeder. "Izumi's gonna have my head either way. She probably found out I'm missing already." he said, just as R2 gave out a sad whistle.
Riza jumped on the bike and looked at Al, trying to keep a straight face. She wished these two boys didn't have to live like this. Especially here. There were much better places in the galaxy for them to live happily.

Alphonse obediently mounted behind Riza. After a long final glance, Al offered a nod to Ed. A silent reassurance of sorts... though he knew not for what. (( Hay... poetically phrased wordz?! )) Roy gunned the engine and accelerated across the desert sands, leaving a swirling cloud of sand in their wake. After a few moments if silent travel, Roy turned to Ed, a rare comforting smile on his face. "So squirt... what's Miss Izumi up to these days anyway?" (( Sorry it took me so long to post this. ))

Ed turned his head and made a low 'humph!' "Don't call me squirt!" he growled out at the older man. R2 whistled lowly as if he knew Ed was going to react like that.
~~~
Riza looked at Al over her shoulder, feeling uncomfortable about the awkward silence. "It's alright, Al. You'll see him again," she said, trying to make him feel better. "How about this? When all your work is finished, I'll take you to the Boonta Eve race tomorrow. How does that sound?"
