Siran looked at Barry,as she shrugged her shoulders,"Make up your mind?" sghe said,as she started walking towards the wall,as Ice formed under her and she slid on to her butt.

"Whoeever did that is going to feel my wrath?" she said looking around with her crimson eyes. She steadied herself,as she crawled to the wall. She took out her knife,and carved a symbol on the wall," This si the same as before." she said as she slammed her array and her tattoo both into the array,as the wall rippled as the arrays were activated.

Ed had followed Alleck charging the others. As he ran off he had told Al, "Stay here, I don't want you to get into any trouble." he knew that Alleck was only going to get himself into trouble. It would be better for them to work as a team. He didn't seem like the kind of person to make a rash decision, but his time as an officer gave Alleck a sense of confidence that could get him into trouble.

(I'll wait on Kimblee to post. I should be able to catch them now with Hikari's interference.)

[amouri]

Barry started back with a shock as Ice formed beneath Kimblee's and Siran's feet.
"Shit, they're using alchemy!"

He quickly glanced at the wall again, relieved to see that Siran had done the necessary.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, alright, quick!"
He grabbed Kimblee under his arms, swiftly plunging him through the liquid concrete.
"You too girls, be swift about it, Kimblee'll be able to protect you two until me and Siran join you."
He anxiously herded them through, before glancing at Siran.
"Don't be slow about it." He said, before immersing himself in the dull gray liquid.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

[Wow, I wait for one person to post, be gone a day and come back to this! xD]

Kimblee

One second he's tucking a blade into his waistband, and the next thing he knows he's on his ass! On ice, no less! He cursed under his breath, pissed to all hell and back that he got caught off guard that way. He rolled off the slick of ice and scrambled to his feet. The next thing he knew, Barry was shoving him through Siran's wall of wet cement alchemy trick and he was once again using his nails to flick of bits of it on the other side.

And now he was face to face with an even larger group. "Well...looks like the gang's all here!" he said with a shrug, shaking his head. "You know Barry? At this point I'm ready to just blast our way through and kill anyone who tries to get in our way. This is bordering on the ridiculous!"

[where exactly did Slicer run off too? Is he on the other side of the wall Siran just made?]

[amouri]

((Siran never made a wall, she just went through one ;] Slicer was hiding behind the corner before the rest of the group joined him, but the walls surrounding the actual lab building just happened to join with the main building, just behind that corner. Slicer jumped the wall, landing on the other side where Al happens to be, still within the bordering walls. Barry, Zolf, Riza and Roze are IN the actual lab at the moment. Maybe I should upload a drawing or something to explain...))

[amouri]

DAMN THE BAD QUALITY
Ah well, I tried.

[Alleck Davisson [Scar]]

Alleck saw that Kimblee and company managed to slip through a wall and evade the two pursuers. For now. Alleck was not about to let them get away so easily. He could just see the end result of Siran's alchemical escape, and so as Alleck charged, he tapped the circle etched onto his gun, which transmuted the weapon into the equivalent of and RPG. He stopped some distance away from the others' entrance and fired his weapon to create his own entrance at the same place, subtlety be damned. They could take the damage from his pension. This served 2 purposes. If anyone was on the other side, it could be assumed that those people could very well be killed or wounded in the resulting explosion. and even if not in direct range, be slowed by the concussion. The other was to create an entrance of his own. This done, another tap would return his firearm to a pistol and he dashed forward, hopefully Ed would have seized the initiative and would be a few steps ahead of him.

[amouri]

Barry chuckled quietly.
"Yeah...But at least now we're safe from those two-"
He was cut off in mid-sentence as the wall they had just passed through, practically exploded.
Barry was caught completely of guard, and he only managed to violently push Siran away from him before he became buried in the rubble.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

[The diagram is great! It's a big help, thanks! ^__^]

Everything that happened after they burrowed through Siran's makeshift opening was fast and unexpected. Never assume that others will choose a subtle method just because it makes the most sense.

He felt something hit his arm that felt like a fist. He glanced around to see who punched him just in time to dodge- barely- a pile of rubble that came came down. At first he thought a piece of rubble had simple fallen and struck his arm, but when he rubbed it, blood stained his fingers. Now that pissed him off!

He didn't think twice when the stranger came through the wall, but lunged forward and grabbed him by the head. "Mind tellin' me what the hell you're doin' trying to kill us all?" he asked evenly. "By all means..take your time. You can explain yourself with your head on the other side of the room and your body in bits and pieces right here? What say? Sound good to you?"

He heard movement under the wreckage and called out, "Barry, you okay under there?

Riza

Her service pistol was out in a flash, pointed at the person Kimblee currently had in his vice. Her face was stern, and her trigger finger at the ready. She glanced at Kimblee and noticed the blood flowing in a steady trickle from the gunshot wound. He'd need a bandage to stop that flow soon.

[syradarkangelle]

As Siran had made her way through,she was bushed out of the way by Barry,as she hit the ground from being pushed. As she stood up she witnessed an angry Kimblee,as inside she was chanting for some more blood,as she saw Kimblee bleeding she said," I think we are in trouble,I am just now considered a state alchemist my uniform has not even been ordered yet."

She took off the shirt Kimblee had given her as she stood in her corset top,"Yo,Crimson you need to stop that blood first. Wasn't roze inside Barry"she said concern in her voice about Roze.

[amouri]

((Roze wasn't inside Barry, Barry just picked her up previously. ))

[Zolf J Kimblee]

[yeah, for some reason i had the impression he had her stowed in his armor too. xD]

He glanced briefly at Siran then focused his attention back on their new arrival, "I'm running out of patience here. I highly suggest you be sweetly reasonable and let us know what business you got ambushing us like this."

"Siran... keep that bandage handy, I'll be needin it soon."

[velinda]

(Lots to post to. XD)

Roze had noticed the female and Kimblee fall, and then was quickly shoved into another cement barrier. She fell through, and was barely up by the time that the wall exploded, showering Barry in rubble. She let out a scream and fell down backwards, into a wall near where Kimblee was holding yet another man. She didn't register what he was saying- she could only stare at where the rubble had engulfed the armour.

Above, in the ventalation system, Hikari sighed. It seemed they were going to kill themselves before anything else would. She pressed her alchemy into the wall, and the ice travelled down and engulfed the rocks, making them quite brittle. Underneath, Barry wouldn't be touched, and Hikari threw small stones to the rocks, cracking them and revealling the armour underneath. That done, she quickly changed her position to one closer to where the Crimson Alchemist and the other man were. The ice trail would have led them to her previous location in the system, but now she was in another place- and safe, for now...

[Alleck Davisson [Scar]]

[2 things. First, I'm not sure if Ed or Alleck entered first, since Ed hasn't posted. Second, I'm not sure how you think you've grabbed anyone, since neither of us have responded. I'm waiting on Ed before I post again.]

[amouri]

((You posted first, so Alleck is first he was also the first one to take advantage, so Ed is probably right behind him. Kimblee most likely took Alleck by surprise, is that somehow offensive to you? When posting can be infrequent for all characters, one has to take advantage to keep the storyline going ^^))

The bricks and stones cracked due to their weakened state, allowing Barry to heave himself up from the mess.
"Damn...Caught me by surprise..." He shook his head like a dog freeing itself of water, and swiveled his eyes to stare at the newcomer.
"You almost had me there, bastard. Unfortunately for you, I'm made of tougher stuff than normal people."
He was still slightly dumbfounded by the shock of being crushed and buried, but was relieved to see that no-one else in the group had taken harm.

What he failed to realize however, was that he himself hadn't escaped without damage.
His one of his eye-sockets had been violently crushed by the rubble, causing almost the entire right half of his face to collapse in on itself. The right side of the lower jaw and the metal 'ear' were still somewhat intact, though still severely battered.

[Zolf J Kimblee]

[I read back to Allecks post and he used his alchemically altered weapon and it did, indeed hit Kimblee instead of magically not hitting anyone. The shot caused a bunch of rubble to fall, inwardly no doubt, but giving Kimblee something behind which to be concealed so that he could attack Alleck from behind when he ran in. And after he performed his alchemy he did dash, I'm assuming in was place he meant to go, unless he had last minute plans elsewhere. I simply did the most logical thing.]

[Alleck Davisson [Scar]]

[Just a difference in where I come from in RP. I didn't expect to kill anyone in the blast, in fact, I'd say I did better than I expected, since almost everyone was affected. But when it comes to hand to hand and actions like that, I'm used to people attempting actions and allowing the others to react rather than it IS. Not trying to sound persnickety. It is more than likely that Alleck IS surprised, but nothing says he doesn't fall flat on his ass backwards, avoiding the grab. Plus, Ed might have gone on ahead of Alleck. Doubtful, since things have progressed without his post fairly well. Just stating how I saw things. xD]

[AG]

[ Seriously...time to make some decent post...those of you who think you have time after you are done with college XD think again...I am going to keep Ed behind you Alleck, sorry...XD]

Ed didn't understand Alleck's plan and by the time he realized it, it had been too late. He saw Kimblee attack Alleck he transformed his automail arm into his blade and swiped at the Crimson Alchemist, "hands off!" he exclaimed as he defended his friend.

[ ok, now to make sure to get on here as much as an administrator should]

[amouri]

((xD the rule is normally not to kill anyone. In combat, one can basically decide whether one hits or not *shrug* it all depends on the situation))

Barry looked up with a start, as the Elric midget launched himself towards Zolf.
"Not so fast bean-sprout!" He snarled, moving forward deflecting the blow with his arm.
He hadn't realized that the automail was that strong, and was thrown slightly off balance by the force of the blow.
"Damnit! Calm down ya lil midget, you want your pal here's head blown off?" He roared, elbowing Edward in the stomach.
