"As you wish Gene, but just remember that I gave you the option to go peacefully." Hood chuckled.
Hood clapped his hands around the sphere he held and it shone a bright blue just like his eyes. From the orb came a long stream of water that began to form into a frightening image. The stream grew in thickness and appeared to grow a head. Fangs, eyes, and facial features were created and formed a mighty water dragon-like head. The monsterous head began to lash out at Gene with blasts of water and strikes with its own head. The savage aqua creation followed Gene as he moved and lashed out when Hood commanded.
"You should have known that I would come after you if you tried to help that monster. You know that if you betray the military that my troops or even myself would come after you. You remember the oath that you took when you became a dog of the military? Well, it seems that you don't because you just signed your death warrent by becoming involved with that walking test subject." Hood called out from behind his fierce watery creation.

The Ishbalan wasn’t fast enough to avoid the chimeras strike. Dust and dirt flew up into the air around him as he was knocked down to the ground. Warm blood trickled down the left side of his face from three gaping cuts that had been torn into his flesh. Starting back at his ear the wounds stretched down across his cheek to the corner of his mouth and chin.
“Human? The homunculi are nothing but soulless vessels formed from failed human transmutation,” the Ishbalan said as he stood. “Eleven years ago I witnessed my family eaten by a human like being. The only thing that stood out was an emblem tattooed on the creatures tongue; a serpent eating its own tail. With that to go on I planned to avenge my family. You will be the first of many Homunculi I slay.”
As he said this he knelt down and placed a hand on the stone street. Once more the transmutation circles crackled as bits of jagged rock were embedded in the whip. He pulled his arm back and cracked the whip back in the chimera’s direction, this time aimed for his legs.

Gene dodged the first of the dragon’s volley, but the second one nailed him in the hand making it weak. “Damm” he said to himself dogging another attack. “There has got to be another way to deal with that stupid dragon”. Pointing the weakened fist at hood he launched in an attempt to disorient him. “ Eat this water boy!!”

Chrissie walked out of the central building, gazing into the distance, "Today's gonna be weird." She decided and set off down the street, her coat waving out behind her. Clouds were gathering in the sky and people were rushing for cover in the closest buildings. Chrissie had a hunch that this wasn't because it was about to rain but because of something else, "But what?" She said as she rounded a nearby corner and saw the 'what', which was the fight between two rather strange looking people, sending out fierce attacks at each other.
"Can't a week go past without another stupid fight between stupid people?" She sighed and started to approach the fight scene without hesitating.

OOC: Me. I'll edit a post in here.
BIC: Goette went down, hard. Deep cuts into his leg had left him unable to so much as move it, tendons torn apart. Spurts of blue blood from his damaged legs painted the street, filling the air with a slightly sour smell.
"Homunculi? Think, Ishbalan! They're supposed to be able to heal their wounds almost instantly! What exactly do you see of me right now?" Goette bellowed, attempting to staunch the bleeding.

The whip went limp along the ground as the Ishbalan watched the squirting blue blood. Real Homunculi would have already bounced back from that attack, yet here this man was still on the ground. Without hesitation the Ishbalan ran over to the man and transmuted the whip into bandages to cover his wounds.
“I can’t believe how stupid I am,” was all the Ishbalan could mutter under his breath as he helped the man he had been fighting moments ago.

"You'd better believe it." Chrissie said, standing in front of the Ishbalan, looking extremely annoyed, "Do you know how many people nearly got hurt?! You've got some nerve starting up a fight in the middle of town!" She squatted down and looked at the bleeding Goette, changing her tone, "You alright?" She tried to look concerned but Chrissie's unease shone through, "We need to move you before it starts raining," she said, looking at the sky, "it's going to come down heavy. I can go and get someone to help if you want."

Hood was distracked by the outcry from the female behind him and whipped around to see where she was. It proved to be a foolharty move for a muddy fist caught him right in the back of the head. He stumbled forward but caught himself before hitting the ground and turned to face the seemingly cheerful Gene. Hoods eyes glowed a darker shade of blue and the aqua dragon that he had formed shrunk into a small orb that had several protruding spearheads made of water pointing out from it.
"You'll get yours Gene, just remember that, but as for now I need to take care of that creature. Seems the Ishbalan can't get the job done. Oh by the was, if you take another step you'll be getting a little sharp watery projectile in your direction." Hood stated coldly as he grabbed one of the spears from the orb and lept over the wall with the aid of water droplets that seemed to form from the air around him.
"Time to die you foul monster!" Hood called out as he dove towards the ground with the water spear aimed at the beasts heart.
OOC- Sorry it's so short, but I'm tired.

A wall erupted from the ground, blocking Hood's spear. As soon as the attack was stopped, the wall retracted back into the ground. "Hood, the orders were just to capture the chimera, not kill him," Samuel said. He was standing behind where the wall had been, his right foot forward, a blue glow dying down around it. Over his shoulder, he said to the others, "You don't really need to know my name. Just know me as the Footfall alchemist. "Gene, stop. You're being treasonous. That's punishable by death. I'd let it slide since you're just being naive, but unfortunately, you didn't piss me off but got Hood instead. "And you, Chimera, I give you one more offer to come with us peacefully. I assume Hood did the same." Samuel added under his breath, "I personally wouldn't want you back in that lab, but orders are orders..." OOC: Footfall wasn't around to hear Goette's first refusal.

"Why do you always have to take all my fun away Footfall? It's not like the Chimera is any use to us alive anyways. We've got more, what's so special about this one?" Hood asked as he paced back towards the new alchemist on the scene.
Hood clapped his hands together and drew back the spear orb he had created into a plain sphere that wafted towards his hands. Once the orb was in hand he simply let it hover to one side. His crystal blue eyes lightened slightly as the began to shoot from one person to another. Two Ishbalans, a chimera, a woman that seemed unfamiliar to Hood, and Footfall. things might be getting interesting.
"Seems that we're just waiting now. You're running out of time there Chimera. Once it starts raining I'll be at my peak of power and you'll all have some major problems. What's the answer?" Hood demanded.

Walls suddenly appeared in front of the people in the now, ever growing group, bringing the attention back to herself, holding her spyglass to the floor was Chrissie, "You really know how to piss a girl off." She said, looking up at the towering figures, "I try to help and you guys just totally ignore me. If you're gonna fight then get out of the open before you're arrested, you ain't exactly being quiet and the towns people aren't the nicest people in the world and they will call someone up, now get out of here before more military officers show up and before it starts raining, it's gonna be a huge storm and if you get on my bad side I might try and arrest you myself; the Spyglass Alchemist has high links." Chrissie drew herself up to her full height, which wasn't very intimidating but she did her best to stare down the rest of the group.

"Eh, Hood, you had your orders. Plus while I'm around, I'm not allowing you to kill for fun. The chimera was human once too."
Suddenly walls sprouted around the alchemist. Footfall groaned and did a quick thrust kick at the wall in front of him. As soon as his foot struck, the wall turned to sand, falling down in a not so neat pile in front of him. "Sorry, walls make me slightly claustrophobic..." he muttered to no one in particular.
"Spyglass? Please, unless you got a promotion when I wasn't paying attention, we're all the same rank here. Daddy dearest can't get two state alchemists." Footfall thought for a minute, "Well, you could probably get Hood. He's sketchy like that."

"As far as I'm concerned, fighting in public is wrong, and don't start on me about my dad, I can get my position without his help, no matter what anyone else says. I'm trying to help you guys, if you hadn't noticed." She took her spyglass off the ground and let the rest of the walls crumble, "People are staring, Footfall." She jerked her head towards the crowds growing in the nearby shops, "They ain't stupid, they know where the military stand in things these days and there's always a telephone somewhere close by."
She leant against a wall and waited, still glancing at the surrounding windows, trying her best to be on top of the situation, "Anyone can be arrested these days..." She muttered under her breath.

Gene began to feel like Hood and footfall had something in mind for the capture of Goette. Now Chrisse had gotten involved, which confused him. She was always such a nice girl and was a pretty good alchemist. It seem that he had to use some of his mission tequeniqes to make enough of distraction for Goette to get out of here.
"All right you two, time for you to get back to the office." he said with a smile. Slamming his hands into the ground a purple aura appeared. The ground began to rupture as giant hand began to sprout out of the ground grabbing Hood and Samuel. A toothy grin appeared as he turned to get Goette out of central and into the country. As he got closer to his friend he saw what his fellow Ishbalan had done. Gene's anger quickly flared as he pushed the man and proped up the chimera so that he could help him walk. He turned towards the Ishbalan as he began to walk with Goette "i'll deal with you later."

Footfall was surprised, but he had trained to be quick on his feet. Before the hand could grab him, the alchemist quickly backflipped out of the way. As soon as he landed, he did a short hop and executed a spinning back kick in the air, landing his right foot on the hand. There was an alchemic flash from his boot as the hand reverted back to dust. He landed in a crouched position.
"The fuck?!? That's a direct attack on military personnel."

Goette felt a rage brewing inside of him, vindictive justice towards all of those that were against him. Gene was okay, and the Ishbalan also seemed alright, but Hood and Footfall were definately not on list of people he could borrow a cup of sugar from. He really didn't know what the deal with Spyglass was, he'd wait and see with her.
"Don't worry about me. It's not as if I'm helpless, you know." Goette muttered as an aside to Gene. He had to end this now, regardless of the consequences. He grabbed his scarf, viciously yanking it aside. Everybody seemed to fall silent as it revealed something clearly not human.
A massive probiscis, almost ten feet long, unfurled from around his neck, and sinisterly hung in the air. Clear liquid dripped from its tip, splattering on the ground. He seized the strawlike mouthpart in his hand, and lashed it at the attacking alchemists. The poison that it had at its tip was a tranquilizer of sorts, enough to make anybody who touched it drowsy and uncoordinated. Hopefully, it would catch them off guard, allowing him to flee better.
He turned, and began to stump away as fast as he could.

"Footfall, for God's sake! Can't you go five bloody minutes before fighting again?!" She stopped herself shouting abruptly, any wrong moves could lead to bad consequences. She walked over to Footfall and stared at him straight in the eye, she might be small but she had a harsh look and she was tough. Now turning to Gene, "We might be on good terms Gene but some things are uncalled for, can we please just give this a rest and get back to work before the rest of the military in central turn up and we all turn out being up to our necks in trouble."
She turned to look after the retreating Goette, a puzzled look covered her face as she wondered just what had started the outburst and why people who are meant to know and get along with each other were suddenly all fighting.

"Well, I would stop fighting if I stopped getting attacked. Excuse me if I really dislike giant hands of earth trying to grab at me," Footfall said in a rather annoyed tone. Suddenly, the proboscis was coming straight for him. He held up an arm to block it, and although one would expect the appendage to go straight into his skin, it didn't. There was a dull clang on impact.
"There, how's that for not fighting."

Gene had had enough with people telling him what to do. He was a dog but he still had his own thoughts and emotion. " you know what" he said reaching in to his trench coat." Fuck the military and the state, all they want is to be feared and control everything. So i guess I'm pretty much done with it." after a minute of searching he had found it, the pocket watch of the state alchemist.
Looking at it he started to remember all the trials and tribulations in his path to becoming a state alchemist. With one last at it he threw it to the ground and began to walk away." Tell the higher ups I'm done. I'm done with their lies and their deceit to me and the populous. If you four are done talking, I'm just gonna go."

Despite Gene making it obvious that he didn’t like him, the Ishbalan followed Goette and Gene. It seemed like more and more of his fellow Ishbalans were forsaking the teaching and starting to use alchemy. He looked down at the bandages covering the back of his hands, hiding the alchemy arrays burned there and continued to follow.
It seemed as though the Alchemists behind them were becoming distracted with their own argument. The Ishbalan ducked down an alley and pulled Gene and Goette with him. “Hurry, this way.”

As his group ducked into the alleyway, Goette began reeling his probiscis back in.
"Sorry about that display. I know it was... Disgusting and all, but I had to buy us time." Goette replaced his scarf once more, winding it carefully.
"By the way, Ishbalan, what is your name? I didn't get it the first time."

Hood had by this time backed away from the attacking members of the opposite party and seemed to have turned his attention towards Spyglass. A spiral of water formed around his arm as he pointed a harsh finger towards the female military member. An aura of anger flashed in his oddly shining eyes.
"Do you have any idea what you've caused here? You just interupted an attempt to regain custody of a wanted experiment from the military that you serve. You are as bad as that freak is! You just cost me precious time that I could have spent on more pressing matters, but now I have to go and track down those three once again. This will be taken up with the proper offices when I get that monster taken care of. I hope that you're satisfied with yourself. Fool, I'm just glad that you weren't assigned to my unit or I'd never get anything done."
Hood turned on his heels and began off down the street towards the alley where the three had disapppered to. His anger was peaked and this was when he was his most vicous. As if in some dramatic scene in a movie, the sky burst open in a downpour much like a massive waterfall. A faint smile formed on Hoods face as he turned into the alley and began his search once again.
