- Your Excellency! - the colonel greeted his superior. - I have evidence of what we discussed.
King Bradley raised his single eye and looked at Mustang, his gaze filled with disbelief, surprise, suspicion, and even anger.
- Colonel, are you talking about homunculi and the problems associated with them?
- Exactly, - he nodded. - Lynx Depravado is one of them. The evidence is in this folder.
Mustang placed the papers on the Führer's desk and looked at his face. To his surprise, Bradley was smiling broadly.
- Excellent work, Colonel, - he even clapped his hands lightly. - I will personally take care of it. You don't have to worry about it anymore...
- No, - Roy interrupted. - Such a monster must be executed publicly and openly.
The Führer raised his head and looked at the colonel, then stood up, glaring at him. The silent confrontation lasted less than a minute, and both kept stone faces. Finally, King Bradley broke the silence with another smile.
- Excellent! Colonel Roy Mustang, I give you my personal order. Arrest Lynx Depravado and bring her to justice!
- It will be done, Your Excellency, - Roy Mustang saluted. - I have information that she is currently hiding under the guise of Junior Lieutenant Maria Ross. I will go and find her right now.
After these words, the colonel turned around and left the office.
- Junior Lieutenant Ross, stop.
The colonel met her in the corridor, accompanied by her superior, Captain Fokker. The girl turned around:
- Sir, - she said and stood at attention.
Roy Mustang looked at her with disdain and spoke:
- You are accused of the murder of Spira, as well as a number of crimes against humanity and the Motherland. Without trial or investigation, by personal order of His Excellency, Führer King Bradley, you are sentenced to death. Please follow me.
The junior lieutenant was speechless. She opened her mouth in an attempt to say something, but the words refused to come out.
- Did you not hear me? Follow me, - the colonel said coldly.
Giving up on trying to say anything, the girl closed her mouth and simply began to cry. Mustang lost patience and pounced on the girl, pressing her against the wall with his shoulders.
- Don't play with me, homunculus... - he hissed.
- Oh no, I can't! You humans are so funny when you play with you! - a cheerful voice came from behind Mustang. It was Fokker.
The colonel turned sharply - and a pistol was pointed at his face.
- Surprise! - the captain grinned and laughed. - You were so focused on the poor junior lieutenant that you forgot about my peculiarity, didn't you?
With these words, the appearance of the speaker changed - and Roy Mustang was face to face with Envy himself.
Maria Ross, who still couldn't come to her senses, opened her eyes even wider, as if that were even possible.
- I think you better not move. You probably won't have time to put on your alchemical gloves before a bullet blows your head off.
The colonel just grinned in response.
- So, it was you, creature, who killed my friend?
- Who? Friend? - Envy asked, feigning incomprehension. - Ah! - he snapped his fingers. - You mean that giant Spira? No, of course not!
After these words, the homunculus burst into mad laughter and pointed the pistol at Maria Ross.
- Junior Lieutenant, I wouldn't reach for your holster.
The girl blushed at these words, withdrew her hand, but proudly said to Envy:
- What are you waiting for, monster? Kill me!
- Wait, I haven't told the story yet, - he waved his hand and looked at Mustang again. - Yes, Colonel, you are a brilliant analyst, you found me. I killed Spira. Bravo, 100 points for your logic! - before continuing, Envy even clapped his hands demonstratively. - You know whose appearance I took? Elric the Elder! Even that idiot didn't realize that a solid metal shorty doesn't carry firearms!
After these words, the homunculus burst into another fit of hysterical laughter. But this time it didn't last long, and Lynx Depravado said seriously:
- But now the game is over, Colonel. You lost, - the homunculus said with a smile and pointed the pistol at Mustang. - Goodbye.
The air was cut by a whistle, the sound of broken glass, and a high-caliber bullet entered Envy's forehead, and he fell to the floor.
- Is this the end? - the junior lieutenant asked, surprised and hopeful.
- Not quite! - the homunculus laughed again and jumped to his feet. His head was unharmed.
- Do you think you humans can kill me, Envy...?
The homunculus's speech was interrupted by another shot. And then another. The shooter emptied the entire magazine, but the creature continued to stand, only swaying from the shots. His wounds healed before their eyes in a terrible red glow.
- MUAHAHAHAHAHA! I can't help but laugh at you! - Envy was having a great time. - Is that all?!
- Not quite! - Maria Ross shouted and started shooting from the pistol she had managed to get out of her holster.
After a few shots, a sniper joined her. The homunculus's body twitched like a scarecrow in the wind, but the red glow did not disappear, and the wounds healed.
- Don't stop shooting! - the colonel commanded. - His regeneration has slowed down, we will finish him off soon!
- Finish me off? - Envy croaked. - Fire from these pea-shooters means nothing to me!
- Fire?! - the colonel smiled with some kind of abnormal sadistic smile. - Oh no, this is not fire... I'll show you real flame!
The homunculus's eyes widened in surprise and fear when he realized that Mustang had managed to put on his gloves. And after that, they saw nothing but a wall of blazing fire. The colonel continued to summon fire and burn his body until the red glow disappeared and Lynx Depravado turned to ashes.
- Are we saved? - the junior lieutenant looked up at Roy, not believing herself.
- Yes, - he sighed with relief. - We are saved.
- Who was that shooter who saved our lives?
- I only know one sniper who could shoot like that, - the colonel looked at the broken window and waved to the one he could not see. - Thank you, Lieutenant.
The savior, watching through the scope, just smiled softly in response to the words he could not hear.
- You always get into trouble, Colonel, - Lieutenant Hawkeye muttered and left the position, taking her faithful rifle with her.
