Fun inc.

The handsome spring air brought about beauty in Guard-hold. Citizens danced with the soft sun morning through the evening, the park in the middle, flustered with beasts of friendly nature, small, cute and cuddly - the likes of Zen rabbits(bigger rabbits with glowing green fur) and their white cousins grouped their normal brethren, Wo-cats/Fell-bears of different colours rolled and some played with children (Wo-cat are fat and furry cats who always stood and walked with their hind legs, like small pandas, adults reaching 4 foot at their highest,they have pointed ears - they closely resembles Totoro, often kept as pets and roams freely everywhere). All in all, peace and -blossom- reigned in the Kingdom throughout.

About a visible distance from the park, In the Mid-infirmary, soldiers cramped up the narrow hallway, inside Mustang explained the structure and composition of a Guild, "Basically it's a design introduced to the King for people like you, who doesn't exactly fit the requirements of a soldier but who are powerful assets"." Fit?requirements?" Szlick quoted, he notices the Colonel's pride for Knights, "Baasically we're soldiers without uniforms and duty?" Szlick asked, "Ooohh I like that" Lu complied, "Yes but as I said, the kingdom will not give out wages, you'll be paid solely on your bounty hunting, but the King has not officially gave a pass yet, so what you need to do now is act accordingly, hunt bounties and simply prove your worth" Mustang elaborated further, "We kinda just did!" Szlick slyly said.

Mustang let out a deep breath, dealing with kids seemed to be tough even for the Colonel and he said, "Capture or eliminate criminals, or defend his Majesty's land, I myself approve of the Guild system but the King has yet to feel the usage of it, basically you're an experiment".

Lu was deep in thoughts on contrary to his usual self, slightly bothering Szlick. Like a Lightbulb shining and immediately exploding, Lu popped up with a name, "FUN incorporated" he said, he sounded like a shout of great discovery - a scientist with the 'Eureka' to put it in terms. "What?" said Lucy and Szlick, Lu's words completely caught them off-guard, more so now than the past.

"You know Fun as in fun and incorporated like those merchant guys" Lu confident, with a smile of absolute pride. "Andd what's that for?" Lucy asked still in the far end of the office, "Whatcha mean? If we're gonna be a Guild or whatever, our name will be Fun incorporated -- no wait! Fun Inc" Said Lu now extremely satisfied.

"Well he's the leader!" Szlick simply abided with it, "it's not even official yet, idiots!" Lucy bickered at the two. "anything else?,,,," Lu looked at Mustang and continued "one eyed old man?".

" Just old man is fine Boy!" Mustang replied with a slight smile, which to Lucy looked so hard to crack, like his upper lips are hard concrete completely halting his laughter or even a smile. "First hunt down a high bounty or something of equal importance, I'll address the King and he'll comply when that happens my secretary will inform you of that so stay close to town", " Who's the secretary?" Absent minded Lu asked the Colonel. A book flew straight at Lu, a precise headshot, Lucy was the trigger, "Mee Idiot!", " Since when are we that close that you'd threw a book at me" Lu losing his cool, which was strange Szlick thought. "That's not how normal people measure being close to someone, Idiot!" said Lucy, like an angry harpy, "Why am I an Idiot?!, idiot!" the two went back and forth, childish quarrel with a hidden unfelt by the two but nevertheless present emotion.

"We're off then?!" Szlick asked the Colonel, "I've no time to babysit", Szlick got up from the chair and grabbed Lu at his shoulder "Yo--let's hunt some strong bounty" Szlick persuaded Lu who was still in the middle of the quarrel eventually they head towards the door, Lu stick his tongue out at Lucy for the final move, the latter fired another book as they left through the door.

Just past the door the hallway was cramped with soldiers, who weren't exactly welcoming for what they did to the floor as they were the only suspects, " Whatcha looking at?" Lu pissed off - wanting throw a tantrum - a human beating tantrum, further agitating the soldiers but "Let them through!" Mustang voiced out a command from inside. The two boys squeezed through, the soldiers like strong tall grass they stood, the boys bumped and squeezed there way out, at the end Lu saw an old man, his grey eyes stared directly at him, he reeks of knowledge Lu thought, he went close and asked, "Oh wise Sage! I have a question" he said bowing down, showing a gesture of being polite, "Ho-hoho, What is it young man?! " the old man replied, amused by the boy's guts, "See, I keep having this dreams, like 400 times and sometimes it's different like aaa memory? -- something like that!?....Why? " Lu asked standing up he walk towards the Old soldier, when he got closer he was slightly agitated that the old man was of the same height, "Also i bet your taller before, tell me the secret".

" Ho-hohoho" fingers on his chin the old man said, "So it's the Dream phenomena!, It seems like everyone since the old old old days have dreams like yours, but a dream is a dream so don't fret much on it young man"." Thanks wise sage", "And about the secret?" Lu asked, "Ohhh" said the old man with still the same pose - looked up then he whispered in Lu's ear, "I did the thing, the naatural obligations" pause and he looked around and resumes his quiet whisper "next day she became uglier and I grew taller". "Such, wise words, wise sage",he looked at the soldiers who's gaze were locked onto him and Szlick, "Well I must go now wise sage" Said Lu, total obedience, making Szlick wonder does he know him at all?!. The old man waved his hand and the boys left the building.

The sun shared it's last moments for the day, it was dusk. Lu stared at the bushes and trees once where the assassin was, who at the exact moment woke up and directly met the eyes of the prey assassin failed to kill, 'Damn! he sees me should I just wave?' the assassin thought, and awkwardly waved at Lu, who in turn just waved back - taking the assassin as an admirer - in contrast to the assassin who absolutely was in a zone of an awkward situation Lu was glad instead - the feeling of pride in oneself, the confidence in his physique, his dominant killer looks.

He and Szlick just passed on by, leaving the assassin with a sigh of relief, they head to O'Hare's deep. The assassin just stood in place, like a statue but just alive in itself.

The forest of Halhazar, the widest, largest in Orienta, it has a stroke of luck in being a wide, dense - dangerous place, crawling with beasts - monstrous and mystical, big and small and among the worsts hordes of bandits - so various in numbers they formed territories throughout, the deeper the prey ventured in Halhazar the stronger the predator - magically trees grows fast and big and lived long and strong, however like a set territory the forest was limited to a certain distance however huge it is. However the fast growing trees often met with the fast - falling - trees, - fights, between monsters and men.

As of this instant a live action of - falling - trees, was in motion. In a large area close to the border about 300 wide, a fiercest - firestorm scorched the entire place, it burnt the oxygen present and charred everything down to the miniscule-s, however, this fiercest of flames, like a candle in the wind suddenly vanished.

It wasn't once, nor twice but a set of four instance of the same bone melting storm, but all the burning storms were literally blown to non-existence in a click all four times.

"This is getting nowhere kid!" Shouted Wadu, flying in the air.

"Stop calling me kid" said Al, the fire ripper, hot temper mad as usual.

"Tell me what I wanna know or I'll stop going easy on you" warned Wadu with a straight face,

"Going easy? Bitch! bring it " foul mouthed Al, he launched a straight concentrated flame - conjoined to his palm upwards for Wadu. The other blew his mouth over powering Al slightly,

Infuriating Al, 'Fuck I'm so weak' he thought, slightly beaten but still in the push - Al engulfs his whole body in flames , the flames spreaded down from his palm which was still in the middle of a fire versus wind push - to the toes. Beneath his feet fire burned the force was summed up to a certain point until Al rocketed in a curve towards Wadu. The previous fire from his palm disappeared slowly from the end side and as soon as Wadu saw Al he halts his - wind blow - looked directly below at Al who was coming in hot and rocket fast, Wadu emits strong wind covering him at a controlled but short space, it directly originated from his body, it didn't stop there he lets out a strong gust of concentrated wind, perfectly controlled and shaped in a cylinder, it rapidly blew straight down at Al, who his face dictates the wind was strong but on he kept on for a head on crash in mid air - 'all in' Al thought surprising Wadu a tad.

The inevitable happened - Al finally crashed at Wadu, for a moment a short instant moment fire covered their -all-. What happened next was Al struggling and Wadu still afloat choking Al by the throat, the latter trying to pry open the choke"Tell me where he is Boy!" Wadu his voice - threatening-. "PHFFfuck yKHou" his throat squeezed hard, Al barely curses at the older man, his hands still active prying Wadu's locked fingers, 'Im so fucking weak - I'm fucking worthless - my village, im sorry I'm fucking weak, mom,dad Sedh - sorry' Al thought, he grew weak as moments pass, "Hurry!! speak!!" Wadu continues his harsh interrogation, "mA FHvill----(My vill) " Al barely spoke - ends his sentence his bright hot eyes faded a little, his red eyes played a series of visions, of his village and the people he cherish and he remembered why he needed to get strong for, he recalled enough for a short-tempered, literally hot headed youth to get fired up, in that instant his eyes were lit ablaze, the flames spread on his body like wild fires, the flames strong black and red in colour the force the burning power enough to let Wadu loosen his grip but the latter a professional gloved his palms, the body still in a cocoon of controlled wind pressure, but in Wadu's disbelief he felt heat a little and he finally let go, Al looked like he lost his mind, a crazed burning boy, Al's moment was cut short however, Wadu wasted no time in an attack, he immediately re-raised his arm summoning pressured wind in a form of a sphere and engulfed Al's head with it. The heat was intense, Wadu felt it through his barrier but In a fast pace the spherical wind around Al's head knocked him out cold, completely erases the strong scorching fire. "Stupid kid! little mother" Wadu lands him down to the ground.

In the town, Lu and Szlick made it to the park, they saw people leaving for their homes, the beasts still ran in fun, some staying for the night, "Oyy!! Guys! " a distant voice, the boys heard, "Didcha hear that?" Szlick looked back, "Oh it's Lucy" he said. Lu pretends to not care but they both stood in wait for the clumsy beauty, out of breath Lucy catches up "Th--" she bents down in fatigue she holds out her arm and signaled for a moment, she catches her breath and took a deep breath in and continued, "Thanks,, for waiting,, here's 500 deins for the defence of the inn" she gave it to Szlick Lu looking at the beautiful sight of the park, ignoring Lucy's presence, 'Child' Lucy thought. "Thanks girll" said Szlick, shaking the black coins. "Is that all?" Szlick asked Lucy, "Ummm Lu?" she asked Lu, "What?" Lu spoke abruptly, Lucy ignores Lu's tone, "When we were kids, we heard this news,a story of the struggler in the dent", said Lucy curiously staring at Lu, " What's that?" Lu asked, "You don't know? well I'm not surprised" Lucy remarks left Lu visibly pissed off and annoyed, Lucy looked at Szlick who looked clueless as well, Lucy not surprised and continued "Anyway there was an unknown kid almost eaten by the behemoth in the dent", " like you the boy was not marked in the census" Lucy told Lu, "Are you that boy?" Lucy asked., "Is the dent that weird place above the waterfall in the forest? Or those tall mountains" Lu pointed at the far but neigh clear mountains which seemingly peirced the skies, "No-yes the dent just above the waterfalls yes" Lucy eagerly replied, "Ohh you mean that big tasty meat", "You ate the behemoth?" Lucy took by awe, Szlick laughed, but with a slight drop of sweat thinking'Myyy man'. , "I cooked it" He corrected Lucy, who shook her head, "I don't care what idiots do, no no no don't care at all, so are you sure your the boy?", " Yeaa i still remembered it the thing was tough but I was tougher ------" Lu explained the story in details, silent and by heart Lucy listened well. Szlick was glad to journey with Lu as fun things happened with Lu around his head in the clouds, excited about their future thrills.

Suddenly a horn rang aloud simultaneously three times, a horde of Tundra-Rhino charged towards Guards-Hold , on the road and in the way two large caravans, of the merchant guild, carrying something highly valuable judged from the number of guards and hired personnel, Lucy immediately realized it's a significant threat and she ran towards the direction of the gate and then she remembered what Mustang had said, particularly the line, "They will need to do something huge" and she called out the boys, "Idiots! follow me, it's time to get the King's good marks"
