The War Begins (Raiders)

[Guest]

Explosions rang throughout the land, screams of terror and pain pierced the ears of those near, and commands could be heard being shouted from high ranking officers. The royal family of Aerugo battled with the followers of the Scherzo for nearly three months now. The imperial army was suffering heavy losses, their tactics failing, and their soldiers being outnumbered. Flags of the Scherzo family and Cretarian flags could be seen held in diffrent areas. Soldiers, who carried guns, swords, spears, and all sorts of weaponry charged at each other, killing the lives of former friends, brothers, and family memebers. Civilians panicked and rushed around the nation, seeking safety.

Thieves, criminals, and jailbirds all ravage the city, stealing everything they can get their hands on. They murder countless citizens and rob them of their belongings. However, not all of these criminals escape for their hazordous actions, for mercenaries fighting for Amestris and the Scherzo Family do not hesitate to shoot them down for their actions. Be careful in what you do, raiders, for if you seek to be a criminal in these chaotic times, then watch your back, for these people will not tolerate more trouble makers creating more chaos and trouble for them. You arrive at the capital of the nation, the land that recieved the worst of these destructive times. Buildings are destroyed, corpses lay across the ground, and explosions are heard very close to you. Be careful, and watch your step, for you may be the next thing to go, 'Boom!'

Darkamaru sighed as he walked down the street. He saw murder and fighting everywhere. As he walked, a person shot at his arm, shocked when the bullet was deflected off of his automail. He looked at the man. "Take another shot and I'll have to shoot back." The man laughed and then shot at his head. This time, he ducked below the bullet and drew his own pistol. "You were warned..." He then fired three bullets into the man's chest, before running at his body and tearing his heart out. He then held it in front of the man's face as he died. "Pathetic..."

(OOC- yes, Darky DOES have a sadistic side, but not so much like Takegami or Zane's. His is more like a VERY uncaring person...Who enjoys revenge. xD)

[Alaric]

"How sadistic, brother..." A feminine voice seductively stated before a white light appeared and there stood the, to date, strongest Homunculus currently known. The Complete one, Envy, "You know, you'll level up soon, I just hope it's REAL soon, since I currently out do you again."
In his hand materialized two small dagger-like knives before they whizzed passed Dark's ears and pierced a second guy in the heart and head. Envy then grinned maliciously.
"Ready to play, my brother?" He asked as a long naginata blade appeared in his right hand, ready to fight.

[Guest]

Darkamaru stared at Envy. "Hmm...What happened with you? Besides leveling up and pulling a weapon to fight me." He continued staring as he pulled a scythe blade from his sleeve and pulled the handle from his shadow. He then pulled a second blade from the shadow and attached it below the other blade.

(OOC- brothers shouldn't fight...much. xD)

[Alaric]

"As stupid as always." Envy said with a smirk as he expertly span the naginata by his side and flipped in front of Dark just in time to deflect a shot with the blade, "You should be aware we're not alone."
A gun materialized in his free hand as he shot at the buildings around him, before putting six bullets in the thing and giving the gun to Dark. He then jumped up in the sky as large black wings materialized on his back, keeping him in the air.
The naginata vanished as Envy raised his arm before something much larger and heavier began to materialize in his hand. He shouted out in a proud gesture as he flipped and threw the car at the ruins, effectively smashing the wall and crushing the person behind it. He grinned.
"We're surrounded, obviously!"
Two long blades materialized in his hands and he grinned with a killer's intent.
"Time to play!"

Darkamaru turned and noticed the masses of people. He expertly flipped and dove around the area, slicing them with the double bladed scythe as if he were breathing instead of fighting. "Ah, right! I totally spaced out cus I was watching you!" He said, quickly switching from the unfeeling and sadistic part of him to his normal self again.

[Alaric]

"Aw, I feel honoured." The level four homunculus replied before throwing both blades just past Dark's face and impaling the last man in the stomach, "But keep alert, you might get shot."
He then landed as his wings vanished and he sighed. What a day.

[Guest]

Darkamaru smirked. "I was watching you cus you look like a big bird with those wings." He then turned to one last guy who stood up from behind Dark. He had a vine bracelet he was wearing morph into a glove around his hand, made of tree bark. He slit the mans throat with a chop and had the glove return to normal. "So what brings you here? Did you just come to say hi to your brother, or did you hear about the looting too..." He frowned and looked at the man he had killed just then. The man had stolen a woman's purse apparently unless he just wanted to make a fashion statement. The looting was stupid in Darkamaru's mind...

Acedia wasn’t much for a thief, but she had orders from a higher up. She wanted her family to reunite and apparently the person giving her the orders knew of how to reunite the family. She found herself in the mass of destruction where piles of bodies were laid on the ground from the countless killings of swords and bullets. Acedia didn’t much care for violence so she avoided it at all times so she felt very out of place here. The tears fell down her eyes as she continued to stare at bodies lying on the ground and when she heard a gunshot near-by she noticed a woman got shot. The tears disappeared from her eyes and she became once again possessed by her evil side and the blood of her homunculus lust for violence consumed her and she found herself grabbing a glass shard and stabbing the man who shot the woman. Of course the man didn’t go down without a fight as he continued to shoot his bullets at Acedia, but with her ultimate eye she was able to dodge each bullet easily. The man was dead in about thirty seconds as his body lay on the ground and blood smeared all over the breasts of Acedia.

Her eyes turned back to normal and she found herself in tears once again, but this time in fear. She hated her evil side and she wished she could control it, but it seemed once she would be overcome by happiness, anger, or shock she would turn into a killing machine. She ran from her spot dropping the glass shard from her hand with her hands in her face. The blood dripped with each step and as she ran she could feel and hear more bullets rushing by her and a few even hit her on her left arm and her sides, but the pain was nothing compared to the grief she was feeling. She ran and ran through the streets and then she found herself running into a man. She had always found herself running into people and it seemed each time she ran into someone it was after she had done something she wished she didn’t. She lowered her hands from her face as the blood painted her pale skin. She was still in tear as she faced the eyes of the cold man’s stare and she knew that she was in even more trouble than before. Her body was shivering with fear and sadness that the only thing that slipped from her mouth was, “I-I-I--I-I-I-I-I” She was too terrified to say anything else and she knew that maybe just maybe this may just be her death and she would never see her family ever again.

Envy had heard the disturbance and without much effort shifted into his winged form and took off.
He saw a man seem to be about to attack a topless (damn prostitutes) woman and without much effort he materialized a long spear and sent it through his head, knocking him down completely. He then landed in front of her, on top of the dead body and shifted back to normal, shaking her should lightly.
"Are you alright there?" He asked in a dead-serious tone, his black mark for the world to see on his stomach.

[Guest]

Darkamaru noticed Envy leave, and to follow suit on Envy's flight, went into his middle form, growing black wings of shadows. "Hey, wait up!" He flew after Envy and landed with him near a topless woman (Prostitutes! lol) He looked around to figure out the scene and then turned to her. "You okay?"
