Alexander had ended the war with Creta and the transfer of power was butter smooth. Due to the fruition of Alexander's efforts by spreading facts in the form of rumors, the Central was forced to promote him to the rank of General because his feats were public now.
Now, he was invited to the central to receive his promotion. The news had already reached all the people, much to the frustration of the central command. They were still unable to understand how their meetings were getting leaked. Unknown to them, one of the higher-ups had a habit of talking to his dog about his work. The dog then tells everything to an elf Seraph.
He was on his way back and the moment he entered Central City, there were already people standing on both sides of the road and waving at him. He felt like some kind of king or something coming around to meet people. He wondered if even the fuhrer received such treatment. Alexander also had big banners behind his car. They had 'Zero Deaths' written on it.
"Dobby, find out where that little rascal is. He got into a fight and got injured, he didn't even tell me." Alexander told his elf friend.
...
God knows how Ajax found out that his grandpa had returned to the city. He knew he was going to get a beating. He was not a man/child to run away due to fear or from conflicts but Grandpa, his grandma, and his mom were an exception.
He barged into the private hospital room of Edward. "Ed, wherever do you want to go. I will sponsor. Just tell me."
But he stopped as he saw that Edward, Alphonse, Hughes, and Armstrong were standing there like a stone, and in front of them was a man with an eyepatch.
"Oh, who is this man?" He asked.
"Haha, I am Fuhrer King Bradley, nice to meet you, young man. You must be the grandson of General Universe, he is a remarkable man that I feel honored for him to be born in our country." Bradley said with a smile.
"Are you really a King or King is a part of your name?" Ajax inquired.
"It's just in the name," Bradly replied.
"Why are you wearing an eyepatch?" Ajax asked further.
"Because just like you right now, I was also very adventurous when I was small. Okay, see you all later. My personal time is over. Take care, you four. Remember my words and be ready." Bradley reminded them and jumped out of the window.
"How can you be so relaxed in front of him? Don't you feel nervous?" Alphonse asked him.
"Why should I be nervous? He's just a man and any man can be brought down with enough force. He just has a very high rank, that's it."Ajax nonchalantly replied.
"Very nice, I like your confidence, "Hughes walked to him and patted his shoulder.
But Hats quickly meowed and brought them out of their thinking, "Let's go. Where do you want to go now, little one?"
"Dublith. We need to meet our teacher there." Edward revealed. Then Winry also came and showed them the tickets.
"Cool, let's go. Quick quick." Ajax helped them pack their bags and didn't stop until they had sat on the train and it started moving.
While this happened, a crisis fell on Lt. Colonel Hughes. He found out about the secret plot of whoever was responsible for the instability of the country.
All these mass killings happening. In Ishval, Lior, the fact that the ingredient for philosopher's stone was human sacrifice.
"This is terrible. Who could have planned all this? I must tell Fuhrer." He muttered in the archive room.
But, Lust came to the room. She had a big cross-shaped scar on her face now. Even the power of the philosopher's stone couldn't heal her. Ironically enough, she was supposed to be the embodiment of lust and induce lust in others, but she was now not pretty enough for people to even look at her face.
"Nice to meet you, Lt. Colonel... well actually, farewell." She closed the door behind her.
*SLASH*
She attacked him and injured his shoulder. However, Hughes was good at throwing knives and threw one at her forehead.
He injuredly walked out and reached the phone booth in the streets. Suddenly, he felt a gun touching his back.
The person was trying to impersonate Lt. Maria but he immediately noticed she was a fake. In return, Hughes found out that these people were able to take other people's forms.
"WHAT ARE YOU?" he questioned.
"Oh, don't you recognize me?" a familiar voice came.
Hughes looked at the face and it was his wife. He couldn't bring himself to attack her.
"Hah, foolish humans."
*BANG*
