First thing I would like to say before the next chapter is written is that I spelled Ishvarlan the way it is spelled in the manga, I have no idea how it is really spelled but this is how I'm going to spell it. Thank you for the review though.

Three weeks later…
“What!” Melanie shouted.
“War Colonel Hughes, we are going to war with the Country in the North.” It was Furor Thomas. Not just Melanie was there, Roy, Ed, Al, and Jessica, were there as well.
“And that means that Roy, and Melanie will be promoted to Brigadier General.” Roy smiled but not for long when he realized that they all would be going to the frontlines.
“Major Edward Elric, Major Alphonse Elric, and Major Snow, you all will be promoted to lieutenant Colonel. You will be expected to be ready and move out to the base in two days, dismissed.” The Furor concluded, leaving everyone in shock.
Melanie packed her clothes in silence, and it was unnerving Roy.
“Mel, is everything alright?” He asked her. She stopped what she was doing and looked into his eyes. They were almost grey again.
“Everything… there's no point in lying, we're going to war Roy, what would you expect?” She told him. She retch out for his hands. She pulled his gloves off and pulled out a piece of paper with an array on it. Before Roy could react she activated the array. Violet lightning engulfed the gloves. Melanie's Alchemy was always Violet, like an incomplete Philosopher's Stone. She walked into the bathroom and Roy followed. Turning the tap on she soaked the gloves in the water. Then placing one of the gloves in her hand she snapped. Sparks. Roy was amazed at what she had accomplished. She had saved him from the rain. Wordlessly he hugged her and she kissed his neck.
“I worry about you when it rains…” She told him. “So about a week ago, I came up with the idea if I made your gloves waterproof, it would take the worry away.” She said as she raised his chin up and kissed him. He slid the glove off her hand and slid his hands up her shirt as the kiss deepened.
“We have to leave tomorrow, so let's make tonight last.” He told her. She nodded her head and led him to the bedroom.
“What, you leaving?” Winery shouted through the phone.
“Yes, I'm sorry but I have to go,” Alphonse told her.
“You just be careful, I love your arms and legs intact almost as I love Automail.” She told him.
“Yeah, I know, I love you Winery.” Alphonse said as he looked at his brother. Edward was smiling.
“I love you too, see you when you get home, and you better write me or else!” She said as she hung up the phone.
“Hey Ed, have you seen my extra gloves?” Jessica said as she rounded the corner.
“Yeah, there in the bedside stand.” He told her and she gave him a quick kiss. Edward looked at his brother. Now Alphonse was smiling.
The next morning the five of them stood in on the platform of the train station. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Melanie was the first to speak.
“Alright guys, let's go.” She spoke up and looked at Roy. She walked to the train and stuck her foot up on the steps.
“Come on you guys.” Melanie growled. Slowly they walked up behind her and she smiled. They boarded the train. Jessica sat across from Melanie and next to Edward. Roy sat next to Melanie and Alphonse sat in the seat next to Melanie's.
“It's going to be tough out there, so everyone needs to watch their backs.” Roy told them.
“Roy, shut up.” Roy smiled and they kissed.
“Did I tell you how long Mel and I have been friends?” Jessica asked Roy.
“No, how long.” He said as Melanie lay her head down on his shoulder.
“Since I was 17 and she was 18, since the first time we had sex.” Roy and Edward choked.
“W-what did you say?” Edward asked his eyes were as big a saucers.
“What, did I forget to tell you that Mel and I are bi?” Jessica asked. Roy was just as shocked to hear this as Edward was.
“Yes, you did.” Edward said as he waved his hands in the air. Roy looked at Melanie.
“Well I thought it wasn't important enough to tell you Roy, I'm sorry.” Melanie told him as she sat up.
“That's why it seemed like you knew what you were doing…” Roy said subconsciously.
“Ok, Roy, that's a little too much information.” Jessica told him and looked out the window. Melanie kissed him. Jessica looked over to see that Alphonse was dead asleep. She nudged Edward's arm and smiled at him.
“No, leave my brother alone.” Edward told her sternly. Her smile went to an evil grin. Edward paled.
“Hell…” She cut him off with a kiss.
“You're so sexy when you're mad.” She said as they broke. Roy and Melanie laughed, and Edward turned bright red. Melanie rested her head on Roy's lap and fell asleep. Not too long after she did Jessica followed her example. Roy and Edward just laid their heads on the window seals and went to sleep.
Melanie woke up to Roy poking her in the side.
“Roy, you know I hate it when you do that, what do you want.” Melanie growled at him.
“We're here…” Roy told her.
And now he lie there and he was cold. His body didn't seem like it could hurt anymore and Melanie was feared dead, how did everything turn out like this? Was he going to die here on the battle field? Just before he lost conciseness he saw a familiar face, then he was lost in the sea of darkness.
“Roy wake up, you asshole, I'm not going to drag you back to the base.” Roy opened his eyes to see Melanie.
“You're alive!” He shouted as he sat up and grunted.
“Yeah, and your hurt, let's move before they catch up to us.” Melanie told him. She started to drag him seeing as how he couldn't stand. Grumbling the whole way about `assholes' and `bastard Generals'. About two steps later she heard a snap and a loud cry. She looked up to see an enemy soldier roll around on the ground screaming in agony from the fire that engulfed him.
“Thanks.” She said as she continued to drag him. A hand on her shoulder stopped her. She turned around to see Major Armstrong the StrongArm Alchemist.
“I'll take it from here General; you go find Edward Jessica and Alphonse.” He told her and she stood up.
“If you die, I'll never forgive your sorry ass.” Melanie shouted as she ran off. Roy smiled and moaned in pain as Armstrong picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. He watched Melanie's retreating back as he was carried into the camp.
Melanie found Edward fighting off four guys and she raised her hand. Light in a sphere came out of nowhere in front of her hand surrounded by swirling winds that shot at the men and degenerated two of them. Edward quickly killed the other two.
“Hey, I had them!” Edward growled.
“Like Hell you did, where is your brother, we're pulling out?” Melanie asked.
“Over there.” Edward pointed behind himself. The both ran off to help Alphonse. He knocked out three guys and was working on his fourth when Melanie and Edward came to help him.
“We're pulling out, Melanie shouted as she punched the fourth man and they ran off to find Jessica. Just as they were about to find her a shell exploded near them. The three jumped out of the way just in time to miss being blown up.
“You guys alright?” The heard Jessica shout at them.
“Yeah, we're pulling out let's move!” Melanie said as she got up and helped the Elric brothers to their feet. All of them ran off to the base camp.
“Well looks like your going to be ok, General Mustang, you got lucky.” The medic told him. Melanie walked in the tent and looked down at Roy.
“Were you just going to lie there and die?” She asked him.
“I thought you were…” Mustang started to say until he was silenced by a slap.
“Jerk, if we both die where does that leave us?” She said then sat down and gave him a long kiss.
“I can go back to the tent now.” Roy told her as she sat up.
“Hmm, I've got an idea,” She said deviously. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and helped him to his feet.
“I like your ideas, please do tell.” Roy said seductively. Melanie just smiled.
Later on in the tent Jessica and Edward came in to see Roy and Melanie sleeping in each other's arms so they quietly and strategically retreated.
The next morning Jessica, Alphonse, and Edward met up with Melanie and Roy.
“Alphonse follow me for a sec. They walked into Melanie and Roy's tent and a few moments later Alphonse walked out with armor on his arms and legs. Melanie walked out a moment after hold a bunch of red strips of cloth.
“This armor is lighter than what he used to wear but just as strong.” She told them. She tied a one of the red strips around Alphonse's left arm. Then tied one around Roy's and Jessica's coming last to Edward.
“What are the red strips for?” Edward asked. Melanie tied the red strip around his arm.
“This is our resolve we will fight as one, we are the top five Alchemists, that should intimidate the enemy at least a little,” Melanie handed her red strip to Roy who tied it around her left arm like all the rest.
“Well that's corny…” Roy said and received a punch in the arm for his efforts.
“We can fight as one, or we can die as individuals, it's your choice.” Melanie addressed them all.
“We are the Elite Five, if we die who will protect our loved ones?” Melanie started.
“If we work together we can become an unstoppable force and the enemy will fall under our feet,” Just as she said those words, there was a warning siren.
“The enemy is approaching!” one of the sentries shouted. Melanie stood up tall.
“Now is our chance to prove to the enemy that we are a force to be reckoned with.” Melanie said as she ran past them and to the front lines. Roy stood beside her and beside him was Alphonse. On Melanie's right was Jessica and then Edward. All five of them stared straight and stood tall.
“Is everyone ready?” Melanie asked.
“As ready as one can expect.” Roy told her.
“Yeah, I'm ready,” Edward told her.
“Hells yeah I'm ready, bring it on!” Jessica shouted.
“I'm ready.” Alphonse said as he looked at his gauntlets.
“Hey they have arrays on them…” Alphonse noticed.
“Yeah, that was Major Armstrong's idea.” Melanie told him still looking forward. Roy prepared to snap and Melanie put her hand out. Jessica put both of her hands out after clapping and Edward clapped his hands and made a blade out of his Automail. The first one to attack was Roy; he snapped his fingers and roasted an enemy soldier. Melanie shot off a blast of shock wave and Jessica shot ice daggers. Alphonse stood in his defense position frozen.
“Al, were moving forward!” Melanie shouted to him. He looked at her with fear in his eyes.
“Al, if you stall you'll die, let's move!” She shouted to him. They started in a dead run and crashed into the enemy. Jessica was freezing guys and Melanie had pulled out her daggers. Occasionally you would hear a snap from Roy. The rest of the soldiers were stunned at how quickly they were killing off the enemy. The remaining enemy soldiers ran off in fear for their lives and all five Alchemists cheered. Just as Melanie turned around and started to walk back to the camp, a sudden force dropped her to her knees. She retch her hand to her chest and looked at it. Her hand was covered in blood. All the sounds of victory and everything else started to fade.
“Melanie!” Was the last thing she heard before the darkness consumed her.
