Lynne nodded curtly after Mustang and pivoted on her heel. "Don't start without me!" she barked in muted dismay, bounding into the charge for Sam. She flicked out her claws and lunged forwards with a wicked snarl.
(( Exhaustion + Lack of muse = This ))

Sam watched the two approached her hastily. She struggled to free herself over and over, but to no avail. As the girls drew closer, she closed her eyes tightly and braced herself for impact.
Suddenly, a loud clapping sound radiated through the air and spikes appeared in the ground. Then they sprang out towards Phoenix and Lynne with great intensity. Sam opened her eyes to see what had happened and looked around to see who had (hopefully) come to her rescue.
"Huh??" she said and looked around. Then she saw two figures approach from the other side of the wall of fire--one very tall and muscular-looking, the other somewhat short. Then, the two figures rose over the wall on a large platform they seemed to had transmuted out of the concrete from the ground. They jumped down from the platform and landed in front of Sam.

Digging her heels into the ground hastily, Phoenix nearly slammed into the spikes. Growling, Phoenix looked up to see both the figures heading their way. "Well, if it isn't Shorty McShortPants and the Iron Giant." Phoenix stated with a light growl as she straightened. "Phoenix Mae! Violence is not the answer, my child!" A low voice cried out from the darkness behind the wall of flame behind her.
"Dammit, dad!" she sighed as she facepalmed. Stamping her foot and thrusting her elbows backwards making a pair of flat ended earthen pillars to strike Armstrong in the chest.

Sam arched her eyebrow at Phoenix's retort. "THAT'S your dad!?" she exclaimed in confusion. 'What the hell is going on...?!' she thought.
Sam tried to decipher who the two figures in front of her were, but it was dark and she didn't recognize them. "Who are you two?" she asked. But before one of them could answer, the pillars shot out towards Armstrong. "Look out!" she called out to him.
(SHORT POST IS SHORT. D: I can't post much without Lily because she's playing Ed lololol. >_>
BTW, I'm typing this to you from my school. xD I'm in the media center hehe.)

(( Yeah, yeah, Lily's here. And I'd noticed the time stamp, you stinkybutt poophead D:< Wish I was able to get to the library...
I'm so self-conscious about how I play the characters that aren't Lynne, so if I suck, you better tell me D:< ))
"Shut your piehole, feline!" the blonde boy spat furiously. He slapped his hands together and lunged forward even as his right arm transmuted into a blade. He didn't even notice Sam anymore; he glared at Phoenix and slashed at her blindly as he approached. "Just who the hell are you two?" Lynne snarled. She reflexively leapt back a few steps as the two figures emerged from the dark; Armstrong was here? And, what- Phoenix was his daughter? ...Just what in God's name.... she thought with an irritated shake of her head. Her gaze swiveled backwards towards Mustang in a request for further instruction.

Gracefully taking a few steps backwards, Phoenix smiled at Ed's reaction. "Oh, did I hurt the wittle shorty's feelings?" Phoenix fired at Ed with a cruel smile. "Yes, he is my father..." Phoenix replied to Sam for all to know as she dodged once ore out of Ed's way. Dropping into an odd defensive stance, Phoenix muttered to Lynne "It's just Edward and Alphonse Elric. No big deal." and transmuting her auto mail back to their normal shape, Phoenix then dropped to her hands and started to spin about flailing her legs at Ed.
Dodging out of the way of Phoenix's attack, Armtrong rushed blindly through the flame as Mustang called out "Armstrong, hey, wait!" as he extended his hand. "Phoenix... We shall discuss your behaviour later." Armstrong stated to Phoenix under his breath as she rose from her attack. "Yeah, Yeah." Phoenix retorted as she dropped once more into an odd stance. Gritting his teeth, Mustang called out "Enough! All of you!"

Sam's eyes widened as she watched the battle ensue. "Edward and Alphonse Elric...?!" she whispered to herself in shock, examining the two boys as best she could.
Alphonse was about to rush in as he heard Roy's voice demand they all cease fighting. He froze for a moment and then turned to look at Roy, waiting to see if he had something to say. As he turned around, he noticed Sam chained to the ground. "Are you ok?" he asked in a kind voice.
Sam looked at him for a moment, shocked to see an 8-foot suit of armor with such a young voice and kind personality. She almost chuckled to think that THIS was Alphonse Elric. She wanted to ask him so many questions--What's with the armor? Do you remember me? What are you doing here?--but she settled with the simple response, "Define ok..."

Lynne's eyes widened. "But he's a State Al--!" she began to object. The order of cessation shut her up. She turned on her heel and looked up at Roy, desperate for guidance; all of this chaos was simply disorienting! Her claws flicked in and out of their sheaths in frustration.
Ed performed a row of back handsprings to evade Phoenix's advances, leaping up at the right second to avoid another spinning kick. He landed on his feet and glared at Phoenix, breathing heavily. He only moved his furious gaze from Phoenix's eyes to Mustang's. "What's going on here, Mustang?" he called, fixing his wrathful glare once more on the chimera.

His hand still held at the ready at his side, Mustang strolled casually through the dying flames. "Everyone, please remain calm. I believe that there's been enough chaos for one night and I believe it's time for some sense. Please, everyone, meet me at H.Q. and we might be able to straighten things out there. Sam, I'm sorry, but we will have to detain you there for as long as it takes." Mustang explained and at that turned and headed toward H.Q. Following Mustang immidiately, Phoenix replied crisply "Yes, sir, colonel." and strode after him. Quickly catching up with Phoenix, Armstrong placed a hand on her shoulder only to be rewarded with a angered roar. Slowing his pace, Armstrong uttered under his breath "Strange..."

(Sorry this took so long. D:)
Alphonse grabbed the chains of shadow and, upon pulling them apart, they disintegrated into the air. He helped Sam up and she brushed herself off.
"Thanks," she said and rubbed her wrists. She looked at the two brothers for a moment, trying to figure out what to say to them.
"Sure thing," Al said before she could think of anything to say. He watched as the others walked away.
"So... you two are really Edward and Alphonse Elric...?" she asked hesitantly. She bit her lower lip and grew a bit nervous as she waited for a response. She had no idea what she would do or say. She didn't even know if they remembered her, why they were there, and why they helped her. 'I guess that would be a good place to start...' she thought to herself.
Alphonse nodded. "Yeah," he said and looked at his brother.
(Your move, Lily... >_> Lol.)

Ed let out an exasperated sigh and straightened up, brushing his coat off. "That's us. You can call me Ed," he said lightly, offering Sam a small smile that quickly disappeared into a frown of concern. "Uh, you're okay, right?"
"Y--Yes, sir..." Lynne swallowed her spit of frustration and fell in after Phoenix. She ensured that there was a good fifteen feet between she and the other chimera before allowing herself to relax. Her claws slid back to their resting places, but her lip was still pulled back over her fangs. Just what was Mustang thinking?
(( Oh my god I can't possibly offer a decent excuse for the wait so I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry OTL
DAMN YOU MIDTERMS ))

(YAY A REPLY. )
Sam grinned sheepishly at the brothers and nodded. "Yeah," she said, reassuring them, "I'm fine! Thanks for the help. But, uh..." She grew a bit flustered, not sure what subject to approach first. She decided, after thinking for a minute, that now was probably the best time to introduce herself. Sam stood up straight and flashed a friendly smile at them. "I'm not sure if you two will remember me. I'm Sam... Sam Serene. We met a few years ago. I wouldn't be too shocked if you don't remember me, though." She placed one hand behind her head for a moment and waited for a reaction from one of them.
Al was a bit shocked to hear what the girl said. He looked over at his brother to see what he would say.

Glaring over her shoulder at Sam, Ed and Al, Phoenix muttered "Feh." and trotted up to Mustang's side. "Colonel, sir, you remember out deal, correct? And with all due respect, sir, I'm sick of waiting." Phoenix uttered to Mustang. "Yes, I remember, Nightwalker. But now is not the time." Mustang replied blankly. "But, Sir! It's the perfect time!" Phoenx stated loudly, stopping and clenching her fists. "Phoenix, I'd suggest holding your anger, child." Armstrong chided gently. Stopping and turning back to everyone, Mustang called out just loud enough for everyone to hear "Alright, here is where we settle everything." and gestured to the silent, empty pavilion.

"Serene... Serene... Sam Serene..." Ed frowned in thought and tapped his lip. "Definitely familiar, bu-- ... No! You can't be that Sam, could you?" he exclaimed. He stumbled back a step in suprise. "But you're so tall now!" he accused with an open-mouthed stare. His shock was interrupted by Mustang's announcement. He turned on his heel and asked, "'Settle everything' meaning what, exactly?" he asked slowly, forcing back his suprise. He'd play 20 Questions with Sam later. Lynne stopped immediately where she stood. She'd almost moved towards the 15-foot line... Settle, huh? Did that mean more fighting? Her grimace curled up into an enthusiastic smile. That was just fine with her.
(( Oh snap I forgot. I updated Lynne's appearance- I'll edit her bio accordingly.
This sketch took me like 15 minutes so D< i174.photobucket.com/albums/w104/timberwolfbytwilight/LynneFMA.jpg ))

Sam almost laughed at Ed's reaction, but snapped away from their conversation when Mustang spoke to them. She grew uneasy and her stomach churned; she didn't expect Mustang to try and settle this now. And now that Ed and Al were there, she didn't want to be accused of being Takai in front of them. She tried not to show how anxious she was in front of everyone, and shrugged and sighed as if she had done nothing wrong.
Al had a hard time remembering Sam, but he thought he recognized her face. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, though, since some of his memories were lost when his brother bonded his soul to the suit of armor. He chuckled quitely at his brother's reaction, but his attention was drawn to Mustang when he interrupted them. "I hope he doesn't mean more fighting..." Al said quitely to himself.
