(Sorry for OoC-only post, but Dante... you're scaring me with that post. *Hides behind Roy*)

[discorantentity]

Accepting the offered tea she held the cup like someone who had come from a higher social class, and she had to completely fool the intruders if she was to take them down. She drank the offered tea as she considered her plan to do this, she had to take them both down without trouble."Thank you, you are correct in that I didn't see much of anything. Don't think me naive right now, but I do have one concern. That is if they try to run away, you may have to repair a few pipes afterwards. I need water to work, and all my vials filled to have bullets. I will need to borrow the sink, I was called the nightshade alchemist as my specialty was turning water into poison or acid." She replied noting Dante's response with a small laugh, of course she knew that this would lead to something good if she could do it. If they tried to run then she would bust a pipe and trap them. Right now she had to be effective since she was at a handicap, and she had to accept help from her colder side. Unfastening her shoulder she decided to do something utterly crazy, something the other one would avoid doing and fight this with one arm. Pulling out the other nine vials she used a nearby tap to fill them, and then removed her coat and discarded it since it was now useless. Producing her claws she took out of the vials, and dipped the tip of her thumb into it. As she did the mark on her shoulder glowed purple, and the water became a milky green color. She then dipped her claws into it, and then asked herself why was she giving into the side of her she hated so much. Pulling on some gloves so she didn't poison herself, she looked around nervously as if she was thinking of a backup plan. "Perfect, now how does this go again..." She said as she headed off towards where the targets were, making sure to play perfectly innocent.

Following the route she took to get here she listened for voices, and when she found them she started her little act. She had to play completely innocent, despite being armed and looking like she was not. Approaching Roy and Hikari she moved slowly and along one wall, using her injury as part of her ploy. Once she was in sight she looked up and closed her eyes, trying to control her breathing. "I need help, I don't know how I wound up down here but I've been shot and I need a doctor... Please, I don't know if I can make it out on my own." She braced against the wall and concealed the pins in her wounded hand, it didn't take alot of strength to scratch someone deep enough to get the poison in. This would not kill them, merely induce a state of paralysis so she could easily finish them off without trouble. Seeing that it was Roy Mustang she realized that she would be in for a fight, though still she had to prove herself as she had already had her services accepted. "Colonel, I know how this seems... But it was the state that forced me to go into hiding, and now perhaps you might see fit to help save my life... Please, don't tell anyone you saw me regardless..."

She heard the voice in her head, this time it was not chiding her but chuckling and seemed a little happy. 'Fine, I'll help you out this once. Still your weak, your kindness is a weakness. So naive, and yet you can actually kill... I'll be ready for my part.' She didn't react to this, but did acknowledge it still. Now she had to wait for their reaction to her ploy, she would act the moment the got close enough for her to strike. On both hands her claws were visible as they poked out of the gloves, and all it looked like was that they had some dirt on them.

Roy wanted to say something to Hikari...but then he heard a voice and he turned.....a women with long black hairs and....cat ears stood there.....he heard what she said.....he looked at her suprised....."Before you gave me instructions i want to know who you are."....he said with a relaxed Face......

[velinda]

Hikari didn't seem comfortable with Roy's non-existant communication at the moment after she spoke to him. Did she scare him? Then she noticed, or at least took note of, a girl that had cat ears and claws. She recognized that this was the reason he didn't respond to her, but she didn't seem angry. "Are you hurt...?" she asked the female, and looked at her limp arm. "I'm not a doctor... but I can heal people, if it's not too bad." She smiled at the female, and took this as a chance to show Roy what she could do. She heard the man, seemingly mistrusting her, and sighed. Even if she was an enemy, she wouldn't be able to do too much with one arm, since not many could use alchemy with one or no arms, and one of those was Hikari. Although it did come with a downside; she could only aim in the direction of her palm for most of her spells, so she couldn't just aim it anywhere, even if she could use it. If Roy gave the okay, she'd step closer to the female, and approached her from her injured arm side. "Even if you mistrust the military... I'm not part of it. Only one other as young as I had ever made it into the military... and he was a male." She sighed. "To tell the truth, I was running from something when I came here..." She stopped within her arm distance to the female, meaning if she was still facing the arm itself, she'd have ample time to dodge any attack from the uninjured arm. She didn't know whether to believe the fact that she said she was shot; after all, she didn't hear any gunshot, and this place seemed quite echoey. At least, it was the last time she was here... That alone made her slightly more wary, and if the female made a supsicious movement, she'd back away.

[discorantentity]

"It was before I heard you arrive, let's just say I've had a run of bad luck lately."Removing her on her shoulder she showed Hikari the wound, where the bullet entered her shoulder and got stuck. She then looked to Roy and sized him up, making sure that he wasn't going to pull anything stupid. Of course now she had to win trust, so they would believe her completely. Former Lt. Rhiane Blackthorne, currently listed as deceased. The nightshade alchemist, if you must know Colonel Mustang." She wondered what Hikari could do, if she cold heal then maybe she could be of some use to Dante. If this was the case she might just bring her in alive and kill the state alchemist, though she was clearly right now someone who needed her help. Why they were here was a mystery, if this place was that sensitive why were they even here... That bugged her, but she could not bvoice it until she was ready to strike.

[sweetanimefreak]

Roy looked at the strange women....." Lt. Rhiane Blackthrone you say?....I don't know the name...." he said.....he was hearing that name sometime....but he couldn't remember the conction with the name......"What are you do now?....Why are you came up to us?....Simply, because you hadn't nothing other to do or...." he looked at her seriously...."...Are you want something from us?".......

[velinda]

Hikari glanced back at the Flame Alchemist with a rather angry stare that said, "Back the - off." She knew that the bullet wound must sting, so she didn't need anything else to add to it. "Why? Maybe because she heard us, and wanted help? After all, she had been shot!" She glanced back at the female soothingly. "Alright... this may hurt, and it may feel hot, but please, trust me." With that, she placed her hands over the wound that was injured, and her entire back held a faint glow through her clothes, along with the array on her left hand, which she was holding above the right one, clasped hand-in-hand.

She closed her eyes in concentration, and didn't open them. A pinkish beam shot into the wound, as she was holding her hands about an inch away from the hole. The female would feel a burning sensation on the surface of her skin, and deep inside, where the bullet was. Slowly, the bullet seemed to be moving closer to the surface, judging by the burning sensation. Finally, after a minute, it would fall out, but Hikari didn't stop there. Her eyes still closed, the skin and the hole now seemed to tingle, and reattach themselves to eachother, as if the hole had never been there...

Finally opening her eyes, she swaggered and held her head, before catching herself on the wall. "I-i'm okay..." She whispered. "It's just that... that takes a lot out of me, that degree of healing. It must've had an infection or was just becoming infected or something to take that much out of me... Much longer, and you might have died." She smiled shyly at the female, a slight blush on her cheeks. The color on her right hand (the array glowing red) and the whitish glow from her back died down the moment she had stopped the healing beam. "It's not perfect... but it works, right...?" she asked as she bent over to pick up the bullet that was forced out.

[sweetanimefreak]

Roy looked the happen and amazed a little bit....... He didn't saw this kind of alchemy before.....He observed fantness and he put his hand on her shoulder....."Are you really okay?.." he asked her worried.......He looked at the women...Hikari didn't suspected something bad......But he felt uneasy with her......

[discorantentity]

She looked at Roy like it was expected, but it also made it easier to kill him as they had no idea of what she could do. “This is how they treated me, like I was the enemy. I'll trust you for now, but I don't trust anyone fully.” She replied before Hikari deal with her wound, it felt weird and the heat was uncomfortable. Afterwards she finally answered Roy despite her mistrust of him, with what he needed to know. She had to get close enough to scratch them, but the girl could be of use to Dante. “Colonel Mustang, what I do shouldn't be your concern you. The military abandoned me the day I was captured, and I was made into this detestable chimera. Thank you, it's good.” She then grinned and closed her eyes and breathed in, now it was a good time to strike and that wasn't her job. Allowing her other side to take over she knew this wouldn't end well, but she had orders. ”The renowned flame alchemist, don't you know water beats fire. Nothing personal, but I have a job to do. “

She then moved to scratch both Roy and Hikari with her poison covered claws, this would paralyze them while allowing them to feel pain. It also would allow her to capture the girl and present her to Dante as a gift, more useful alive than dead. Orders were orders, and she was not one to countermand them unless she had leeway. The girl and you die here, now please don't hate me. She is more valuable alive to me but I must kill her, you are in the way. Now lie still, and you'll be safe. She stated calmly as she attacked, now free to use both arms and unhindered by injury. The last part for Hikari, who she was making sure fell behind her. She struck with a sudden surprise attack when each of them had an opening, coming in quickly and without mercy with her poisoned claws. Her concern was Roy, he was dangerous and had to be dealt with first.

[sweetanimefreak]

( Miaow.....Catwomen XDDDD ;D...)

Suprised of the sudden attack Roy went a step back. " Dame....I knew it.." he thought........The flame Alchemist lifted his hand ready to snap.......

[velinda]

Hikari didn't know what to do- the female seemed okay at first, and she earned Hikari's trust, but then, it was betrayed. She struck out quickly, which Hikari didn't see coming. Even so, she ducked out of pure instinct, going beneath the blow. She fell down completely, ending up behind her like she had asked, even if she wasn't paralyzed. She watched the flame alchemist get attacked, but she sat still, paralyzed in fear. It was just the same as when Lust attacked the man who called himself "Slicer." Her body was shaking from fear, and somehow, she managed to be able to back up on the ground, away from the sight, but she didn't move far, and she somehow couldn't take her eyes off of the sight... She thought about helping the Alchemist, but if it failed, she'd be killed, too...

She closed her eyes, and the array on her back started to glow unwillingly. "Please... stop..." she said shakily and quietly, then louder, "Please... stop..." Her voice had sounded stronger that time as well, and then she added, her voice quiet again, "Please... take me if you want... I won't even fight you... Just please... don't kill anyone!" At that point, small tears rolled out of her eyes...

[discorantentity]

Seeing him readying his powers she drew her gun and fired into a nearby water pipe, causing a rupture as the bullet joined the slow trickle of water that came out from it. She had her tools now, and she was prepared to defend against his flames. I don't normally do this, but if you stay still and don't move I'll deliver you alive as a gift. It goes against orders, but you do have more value alive." She replied before dealing with Roy, and as she attacked she poked her fingers into the trickle and splashed water towards him. The flash of purple light happened as they became several spikes of water that flew towards his torso and left shoulder, that were jagged and vicious looking. She attacked right now to keep him on his feet and unable to focus enough to use his power. From the other side she fired another bullet of water, this time she fired towards his legs to put him off balance. "Your as good as I had heard, but it's a shame you were able to be surprised like that... Your getting rusty, or are your flames nothing more than hot coals now." She spoke as she attacked, she was not going to let up until she had killed him, and then she would deliver the girl and his body to Dante. A healer and one less nuisance, and some frustration at the military dispensed.

[sweetanimefreak]

Roy wasn't so suprised....He didn't like to be wet.....He hate this feeling..." So..your good...." he said....then he smiled..... Roy pulled of his wet glove and took a new one from his side pocket and pulled it on his hand....." Game over..." he grined.....
" Stay away Hikari" he shouted...before he snaped his Hands and a flame sprouted in Rhiane's direction.....

[velinda]

Hikari didn't know what to do. This was all becoming a bit too much for her. She closed her eyes, and said, "Please stop..." The tears from her eyes became even more now, and she felt the water touch her from the pipe she shot. Hikari glanced at it uncertainly, suprised by the sudden coldness. She didn't move, but let the water rush over her, as if it could save her from this madness. As she glanced slowly back up to the female, the tears wouldn't stop coming... and then, she felt something cold. The water near her right hand, which was in the water, had ice surrounding it. The array on her back started to glow even more, as she watched the ice, amazed. It grew and grew, heading towards the source, the pipe. Hikari felt as if she couldn't move, and the air around her grew colder. She shivered unvoluntary, as the ice climbed up the pipe. The water flowing out of the pipe turned into ice, and the hole became covered in ice. It formed a temporary dam, but some of the water that was inside the pipe froze as well, making the ice brittle. However, after that, the array stopped glowing, and Hikari fell to the side, laying on top of the ice, her eyes closed. She appeared to be dead, but if one did a closer inspection, they would find she merely passed out...

[discorantentity]

"I made it a habit to know about who was on my side back then, but now it works to an advantage and disadvantage." She replied before he replaced his glove and snapped, she tried to use the water again as she rolled to her side but hit ice and shattered it. This was not good, so instead she fired three bullets at Roy's flames to counteract them. The end result was a large cloud of hot steam that forced her to close her eyes and lose sight of her targets, she should have figured he carried a replacement glove. Landing roughly she remained crouched by a wall, with two rounds and a small delay to make more rounds and reload she was the one who had lost the advantage here. "Why don't you stay and die here, though I have better idea... You want to attack me, you'll attack her as well." She then before the steam dissipated she grabbed Hikari and took off, ignoring the cold as best she could she carried her like a shield so that Roy cold not attack her again. If he did she would get hit and not him, if this gave her a chance to finish him off then she would take it as well.

[sweetanimefreak]

" Damn" Roy said.....he couldn't attack her....he didn't wanted to hurt hikari....Roy thought about what he could do......

[velinda]

(I'll post after Roy next round)

[discorantentity]

Roy’s inability to act now proved to give her a temporary edge again, though she had to kill him she knew that he was not so easily killed. He was someone of a higher caliber than she was, and she needed to get more skilled and smarter to end his life. Holding two claws at Hikari’s throat she looked at him, and spoke without a hint of remorse for her actions thus far. “We are by no means finished; I will kill you and present to my new boss your corpse. Right now it seems we are both at a disadvantage, I am not done yet and we will meet again.” She then pulled out a vial of water with her free hand and turned it to acid with a flash of purple light from her shoulder, using the advantage she had she threw it at a pipe on the opposite wall above Roy’s head. She would soak him completely with whatever water was left unfrozen, and as she watched it eat the pipe and then water burst out she fired her last round at him but missed and hit something else behind him. “Damnit… Looks like we have trouble, I’ll take the girl and leave them to you. Col. Mustang I will come for you, don’t die on me before then.” She said as a pair of lizard chimera came angrily charging towards Roy, one of them with a wound to the chest and looking like it was almost dead.

Holding hikari by the arms tightly she started to retreat backwards slowly, since she was unconscious it made her escape a little slower. Pressing her claws into her neck she used the pain to wake her up, the claws not breaking the skin as that would leave her paralyzed and unable to move. She had a valuable hostage here, and an even more valuable ally if she could be delivered. “Your value will be judged and your fate determined once we are there, but I know of your value and will speak for you. Shall I end it now, or will you aid me in the tasks I am given.” She whispered to her as she backed up and watched the scene, such a willing and docile girl she could make use of. Her other self could also use a friend, even if she was there by forced obligation. She had not really had much of a plan, and things had just become one big mess that she hoped Dante would understand. This field had been one to her advantage, but still the unknown obstacles had proven too great and it ended up a failure. As she left she faltered and closed her eyes while breathing rapidly, before she realized it she was doing something she had no recollection of and a vague idea of why. ”I don’t like doing this, but she’s right for now. Bear with it until the time is right, I won’t let anyone hurt you. What’s your name by the way, I do owe you for saving my life. I hate what I have become, but I am by no means a monster like many of my kind.” She spoke as she removed the claws, she was not going to hurt her it seemed and she was still taking her back. If anything she would insist that she be responsible for the girl, as she would protect her to pay her back for helping her with her injuries. ”I will kill him still; he is the enemy while you have no ties to any one side. Remain that way, just for now I want to borrow your abilities until I can safely part with you. That’s a promise I will keep, despite what everything may seem like it is.” Rhiane then relaxed her grip on Hikari and hoped that she understood, that she was not that bad a person despite what she did and who she worked for when she was revealed.

[sweetanimefreak]

Roy saw the water and wanted to dodge...but it pasted him and he looked back.......Nothing....he turned his head during he heard what the women said...he saw her running away...( I hope you understand the sentences..XD)......." Waite..come back......" he screamed and he ran behinde her...but she was too fast.....Roy stoped to ran and thought about what he could do......

[velinda]

Hikari felt the pain in her neck, and cried out as she woke up. She found herself in the arms of the lady that was attacking them earlier, and was about to try and run away, but found she couldn't, since the girl had too hard of a grip on her. She heard her speak, but she didn't know if she could trust the girl. "E-either way... I could end up dead..." she whispered. The other girl hadn't said that directly, but she understood what was going on well enough. Then the girl's demeanor changed, her speech back to what it had been when they first had met. It was interesting to Hikari, how the girl changed personalities like that.

"H-hikari... Hikari Chisena. I-i don't know... I-i was going to... be one of them... because they might have had... the information I need..." Once again, her speech was quiet, hesitant, and shy. It wasn't the girl that she was around... She did that a lot, to anyone. "I-i hope... you can act on that promise... b-because I don't want to die... j-just yet... Not until... I-i've done... them justice... A-and... fullfilled my promise... to them..."
