The Night Patrol

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Maes Hughes walked up to the gates of Laboratory 5. There wasnt much noise there since Alphonse and Edward went there last but he was just checking to make sure. He met the gaurd at the gate and then continued walking. The gray walls looked erie in the light. All was calm. As he entered the buildin he saw a shadow flash by but he quickly disregaurded it.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

Subject #48 was in the surveillance room arguing with his brother about a cat that he is holding in his hand: "Big brother I'm tired of having cats craw around inside of me! I hate it!" said one voice. "But cats are so cute and such great pets little brother, let us keep this one. Look at him how can you not love him?!" said another voice.
But then they noticed something on one of the monitors that someone was walking around in the building.
"Oh it looks like we have guests. Where is 66 when you need him?" asked the cat loving voice.
"Don't know big brother, looks like we have to handle this ourselves." said the other voice and put the cat down on the ground.
"Alright then, we'll disguise this after we're done with this one." replied the cat lover, and then they left the room and started heading to intercept the intruder.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Maes walked arround for a while, paused andstood in the hallway for a second. Then he thought, "Its quite dreary here." and he pulled out a picture of his family from his wallet. He admired how perfectly it captured them. Gracia perfect and Elisia darling. The he looked arround and leaned against the wall.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 had neared the intruders location, but he hadn't gotten too close to anything of impotences, so 48 decided to let him live for now, and just follow and make sure he doesn't find anything.
Many years of guarding this place and training while no one was around had made 48 quit good at sneaking around without making enough sound for anyone to notice.
It was hard but possible.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Maes looked arround. Something was deffinately wrong. He would have to watch his back. He contined his patrol not seing anything. He prayed that nothing would come of this patrol.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 kept following the intruder but at a distance.
"Looks like one of the militaries men." he stated to himself quietly.
Then he saw the cat that he had been holding before, run off towards the intruder, 48 tried to catch it as it passed him, but too late.
He had to let it go so not to be seen.
"Damn you, bad kitty very bad kitty!" he muttered to himself.
"Told you cats are bad news, dogs are much better!" said the other voice to the first.
"shhh be quiet brother, or he'll hear us!" 48 replied quietly.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Maes looked arround. A cat ran across his path. "That was unusual," he thought. He looked arround. Where did it come from?

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 noticed that the intruder was nearing the room where they use to take people to turn into philosopher's stones.
But got distracted when he noticed a little puppy next to him, he immediately kneeled down and picked it up.
"Ooh your so cute!" he remarked.
"Put the mut down and turn around so I can see the intruder!" said the other voice.
48 put the puppy down and looked to check on the intruder, but too late he had moved on.
"Damned little brother, now see what you did, we lost the intruder! Now we have to hope that he went that way so try and catch up to him!"
"Sorry big brother"
48 walked down the corridor to the room the intruder had been walking towards before, in hopes that he would catch him there.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Hughes looked up at the door that stood in front of him. He slowly tuned the handle ready for any attack. He opened the door and he looked in. The room was completely wrecked. Glass was hsattered, furniture was turned over and there were alchemy marks every where. "looks like edwards handy work," he mumbled to himself and he smirked a little. There was nothing to report here.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

It was then, as Hughes was looking around in the room that there suddenly heavy metallic footsteps could be heard from the corridor. And then a suit of armor emerged in the doorway.
"Well now, it's been a while since anyone has been here." he armor said to Hughes in a hollow cold and metallic voice, as he pulled out his sword and looked at Hughes.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Huges smiled. "Finally ive found something," he said and reached into his pocket to pull out a knife.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

As Hughes reached into his pocket, 48 rushed towards him with his sword raised over his shoulder to try and strike Hughes with it.
He moved with incredible speed even though he was wearing a suit of armor.
"You have to be faster then that!" he said, as he swung his sword in a strike at Hughes.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

Huges ducked and threw his knife. I hit exactly where he aimed it, the top of the helmet. To his surprise though there was no one in there. "Just like Alphonse," he thought and looked arround to see what he could use to fight.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 walked over and picked up his helmet and then looked over at Hughes.
"You don't seem too surprised at the sight of an empty armor walking and talking."

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

"Well I have a friend who is much like you. Actually you probably have met him," Huges said,"His name is Alphonse Elric. Now, I would like to know who you are." He picked up a vile and thre it at the armor.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 quickly dodged the vile but didn't attack Huhges, instead replying: "No must say that I haven't met him. Well I was the serial-murderer known as the Slicer, but now I go by the name of Subject nummer 48, and the guardian of this place. But might you be and why are you here?"
He started to walk slowly towards Huhges, still with his sword in hand.

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

"Im Maes Huges, and let just say im here to clean up after someone," He said then stood there,"How did you get that body anyway?"

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

"Well I got caught and sentenced to death."
The 48 jumped at Hughes and made a swipe at his right arm.
"Too bad that you're here to try and clean up, since I'm here to kill anyone that comes along!"

[Maes Hughes [May Cassiopeia]]

"ah that clears things up a little bit," he said as he dodged to the side. he threw 3 knives at 48 aiming at his helet and his arms.

[Subject #48 [Ash Murdoch]]

48 is too close to try and dodged the knives so he gets one stuck in the eyeopening of his helmet and one in his opper right arm.
But he is able to block the last one and then turn and stab Hughes in the leth arm.
48 then steps back and readies to attack again and says:
"My my looks like you can fight, goooood I haven't had a good fight in a long time!"
He then runs at Hughes and bomberding him with swipes not giving Hughes many openings.
