The street lights shone brightly against the mid night canvas. An eerie feeling filled the air as the night went on. In the centre of a long, dark alleyway, the sound of chalk against concrete drifted around. A man round the age of forty, deep brown hair, pulled back into a tight pony tail with a thick long strand, falling down in front of his face. He wore a thick cloak and what looked like a blue military uniform. The picture that was drawn on the cold concrete floor was in fact a transmutation circle.
"The Freezing alchemist?" The deep voice of Coronel Roy mustang questioned.
"Yes. He has sneaked his way here into central," Confirmed King Bradley. "Colonel Roy Mustang, I would like to put you in charge of capturing him."
"If that is your order..." Roy said strongly.
"Oh, I'm so glad you are here in Central. I can rest assured leaving this to you." King Bradley comments boldly.
"Yes, sir." Confirmed Roy, bowing his head slightly.
"Ah, one more thing. The boy is here along with his girl, as well. Use them however you like." The Fuhrer continues.
"Fuhrer Bradley, by boy and his girl, do you mean ...?" The coronel questions before being cut off by Bradley.
"Yes, the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric and The confusion Alchemist, Rebecca Noir." Bradley carries on from Roy.
"Man, the colonel is such a slave driver." The Fullmetal alchemist. Edward Elric complains. The moon shone brightly against the Blonde teen. His golden eyes reflected the pale light of the planet that rested behind him. "We'd already bought out tickets to Liore. But that's been cancelled, huh?" Alphonse Elric, Edward Elric younger brother by one year explains. His huge empty, silver amour stood out and reflected the mood light. "That just sucks ass." The voice of a young girl comments. Her brown curly locks reached just above her breasts, her deep blue eyes sparkled against the provided light of the moon. She wore a white tank top that hugged her curves perfectly along with black, baggy combat trousers and boots similar to Edwards though her boots were fully black. In the pocket of the trouser tucked a state alchemist watch. Over her clothes, she wore a blue thick yet light material trench coat that reached just above her ankles, under the sleeves of the trench coat was two automail arms. "Nothing we can do about it. Let-"Edward explained while standing onto the roof before being cut off by a certain brown haired girl. "Let's hurry and get this over with, Ed. Al." She continues with a giggle.
"Mm-hmm, Brother. Rebecca" Al agrees
The sound of whistles fill the mid night air as military office warn other officers about the commotion going on in the city. "There he goes! That way!" An office shouts to his comrades as the one known as 'The Freezing Alchemist' sprinted through the alleyways of central. A fairly young office holds his gun towards the running alchemist while calling. "Halt! Halt, or else!" With another officer beside him repeating the same action. The running man brings his right metal arm from under the cloak and holds it in front of him. The transmutation circle on the arms shines a bright blue before creating a block of sharp needles made from ice, attacking the officers. He sprints out from the alleyway and into another one where an officer is waiting behind the corner. Leaping out from the corner the dark brown moustached man aims with his gun but is too late. The Freezing alchemist is already in front of him and grabbing into his wrist, completely freezing the fellow. He falls to the side unable to move, before the still warm officer had the time to gasp and alchemist grabs his forehead completely boiling the liquids in him. "Freezing and boiling, both attributes of water." He mumbles with his arms in fighting position. A long thin object is thrown into the sky by an unknown person. The long spear lands just in front of the alchemist making his jump away from his stance. The alchemist lands a safe distance away from the large spear in front of him, noticing the fine detail that proved that the spear was made by alchemy. "Alchemy" He mumbles before looking up slightly and gasping. "What a nasty thing to do." The voice of a well own teen echo's throw the alleyways along with his heavy footsteps. A smirk reaches the freezing alchemist face before saying. "In order to do great things, sacrifices must be made." A crazy smile reaches his face while he says. "It's what's known as equivalent exchange."
"There's no way you can call that equivalent exchange!" Edward calls while walking out into the light of the moon. He claps his hands together before grabbing hold of the spear thrown earlier, pulling it out of the concrete floor. Using alchemy to change the shape into a bat with four spikes at each angle; Up, Down, Left and right. Ed stretches his right arm, extending the bat in his hand, showing the Freezing alchemist the tip of the bat. Only to see that it had a little face of Edward on. The Freezing alchemist eyes widen before muttering. "With even a transmutation circle...!"
"You can't even afford to be so intrigued!" Edward calls before attacking head on. The Freezing alchemist steps back to extend his arm, not knowing that a certain armour was behind him. He gasps and leans back nearly lying on the floor as Alphonse goes to punch him. Before he has the time to get up Edward sprints over with the bat and slams it down into his stomach area, only to be blocked by the freezing alchemist arms. The freezing alchemist pushes his arms with enough force to push the bat off him. He pushes his hands on the floor and pushes himself up before Edward could hit him with the bat. He uses Alchemy on Edwards's arms, forcing Ed to repel backwards. "What?" The freezing alchemist gaps while counteracting with Alphonse attack. "Impossible!" he shouts while throwing Al over him. "Any water in there should have boiled!" He shouts.
"You ruined his coat, you know! That not very nice."
The freezing alchemist whips his head round to see a 6 year old girl standing there. "What are you doing here little girl, run home to mummy!" He shouts. The little girl looks up and smirks before running up to him. She runs up his body to kick him in the face only to miss as he ducks down. He grabs the leg of the 6 year old girl and pulls her to the floor ... to see a 16 year old girl in front of him. He gasps once more before stepping back, dodging my punch. "Where the girl gone?" he questions looking round for her. "Who? Me?" she asks in the same voice as the little girl she was a while ago. Rebecca runs and punches him in the stomach. She grabs his shoulders and flips over him, to land next to Edward. He turns round to look at us, his eyes set on the shining metal of Edwards arm. He eyes widen before mumbling. "Automail!" Edward pulls off his red coat as Al stands up next to us.
"The skill of a gifted alchemist, one who doesn't use transmutation circles, as well as an automail right arm...!" He confirms. "You are the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric?" He explains with wide eyes. The guy point to Alphonse and asks. "Not you?" Rebecca giggles slightly under her hand and turns away. "Oh, um, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse." Al explains while rubbing the tip of his head. The freezing alchemist head cocks to one side while mumbling in dismay "This runt ...?"
"Ouch" Rebecca mumbles. Edward face got angry and he shouts.
"Who's a puny runt?"
He claps his hands together and smacks them to the floor. The walls in the alleyway close onto the Freezing Alchemist, squishing his face. "To think that the man they call the Fullmetal Alchemist is just a little child!" mutters to himself.
"Another nerve gone" Rebecca mutters behind them while Edward claps his hands again and slams his right one into the wall while shouting. "Don't call me little!" A hand shoots out and hits the Freezing alchemist, making him fly backwards. "Brother, I dont think he meant your height just now." Al informs Ed. He stops and looks up slightly before calling. "Even if he didn't, he's going to pay!"
"Ed, your heights fine" Rebecca says before kissing Edwards check, making him turn pink.
Suddenly a grinning officer appearing saying; "That's the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric for you." He stands in front of Alphonse saying. "Thank you very much for your assistance" as the other officers take the Freezing alchemist away. While Edward in transmitting his coat back to normal, Al tell the guy. "No, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse Elric."
"Okay..." Edward mumbles, turning round while slipping his right arm into the sleeve.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Al. Now, let's get going." Edward calls while grabbing onto my hand and walking out of the alley. "Gees, you're always so impatient." Al mumbles.
While walking along the alleyway of central in the middle of some officers, the Freezing alchemist chuckles when his eyes set on the water on the ground. He pulls his glove off and collapses to the ground. Hearing the sound of the freezing alchemist falling to the ground. Edward turns round. With a huge grin on his face the freezing alchemist uses his alchemy to create steam from the water on the ground. Edward and Rebecca put their arms infront of there faces to protect themselves but still coughed from the steam. "Steam?" Edward questioned to no-one. "Brother! He's loose!" Alphonse calls getting Rebecca's and Edward's attention. Edwards gasps as he looks at the officers on the floor and at the fact that the freezing alchemist as gone. "Damn it! Trifle with us, will he?" Rebecca says and questions while looking at the broken hand cuffs on the floor.
"Looks like you underestimated your opponent, Fullmetal, Confusion." Roy mustang quotes to us when we're back at his office. Edward sat on the sofa with his arm around Rebecca with pissed off look on his face. Rebecca growls at Roy and puts her head on Edwards chest. "Who is that guy?" Edward question while looking at Roy and running his hand through Rebecca's hair. "I thought i told you to listen to the briefing." Roy scolded calming. Edwards eyes widened then close as he scrowls while listening to Roy carry on scolding him. "But no, you had to go right after him-" But Roy was cut of by Rebecca. "Yeah, yeah, all right." Then Edward apologised. "I'm terribly sorry." While putting his hands in the air slightly, making Rebecca whine from losing his touch. Roy smirked at Rebecca and Edward and said. "You should listen more carefully when your elders speak."
"Right, right." Cooed Edward not really listening to Roy.
"Now then, his name is Isaac McDougal." Roy answering Edward's question from before. "He's a former state Alchemist, who they called Isaac the Freezer." Giving us the information that we didnt listen to in the briefing. "Former?" Rebecca asked from Edwards chest.
"That's right. He took part in the ishbalan War of Extermination" Roy explains while getting us from his desk and walking past Riza and over to the window in this office. Edward looked over too Roy as he carried on talking. "After the war, he renounced his State Alchemist title, and went on to in the antiestablishment movement." Roy glanced back at Rebecca and Edward and spoke. "Taking him into custody is a matter of top prioity. We many have to kill him depending on the situation."
"i'm not about to kill anyone." Edward protests in a calm voice while looking away from Roy.
"Suit yourself." Roy speaks up making Edward look back at him. "All we're after is yours and Rebeccas performance." Roy comments making her lift her head up from Edward chest and Both Rebecca and Edward stare at Roy. Roy chuckle and asks. "By the way, have you found any leads on getting your bodies back to normal?" Edward makes an irratated face and shouts, "You never give me any time to!" Making Rebecca mumble about the shouting while putting her head on Edwards lap. As soon as Edward finished his sentence, the door of roys office slammed open showing a fairly young man with dark brown hair and glasses. The officer had one of this hands up in the air and he called. "Yo, Roy! Hell of an order you drew, to take the freezing Alchemist into custody, huh?" Roy makes an irratated face while the man carries on talking. "Or is this your big chance to be promoted to Central? Oh? By any chance are you the Elric brother and friend?" the officer questions. "Friend?" Rebecca mumbles to herself causing Edward to chuckle and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear, "Your more of a friend to me." Causing Rebecca to turn bright red, Making Edward laugh even more. The odd acting officer runs over to Al and starts shaking his hand while saying, "Wow, it's an honour to meet the youngest State Alchemist." We all anime drop as he carries on.
"I'm Maes Hughes, Lt. Colonel."
Thats when Alphonse begins to talk nervously. "Um, I'm his younger brother Alphonse Elric." Causing Maes to jump and shout.
"What? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist?" Edward was now sitting on the edge of his seat but still keeping a tight grip on me. "Dont you call me little!" Edward mumbles to thimself over and over again.
"Hughes..." Roy calls.
"Yeah?" Replies Maes.
"If you don't need anything then go home." Roy demands.
"I will go, once my business is done." The comment makes Roy Look at Maes questioning. "you guys don't have a place to stay yet right?" Maes askes us. "So come home with me." The three teenagers look at Maes confused. Maes then reached into the front of his Uniform, pulling out something making Ed jump back causing Rebecca to move into an uncomfortable position. But what Maes pulls out is infact a picture of his wife and little girl. "My wife, Gracia and my daughter, Elicia." Maes says with a grin.
"Elicia..." Maes calls as he hugs his daughter while rubbing his cheek against her little one.
"Papa, your beard hurts!" Elicia's little voice called out.
"It does? Skritchy skritchy!" He plays while Rebecca, Edward and Alphonse stand there with bored looks on our faces. "Look, these are our guests today, the Elric brother and there friend." Maes intorduced quickly.
"Friend?" Rebecca mumbled once again making Edward kiss her cheek.
"So big!" Elicia calls while pointing to Alphonse.
"So pretty!" She called pointing to Rebecca, making her turn pink.
"So Little!" she calls pointing to Edward making him annoyed.
"Elicia, I am Edward Elric, This is my girlfriend Rebecca Noir, and this is my younger brother, Alphonse Elric." He clenches his fist before carrying on. "Understand Younger brother."
"If you're the older brother, how come you're so little?" The little girl asks making Rebecca burst out laughing. "Let me go!, Let me go, Don't stop me!" Edward calls as Alphonse picks him up. "Now, now, they're letting us stay here, so behave yourself." Rebecca scolded while laughing and walking after the others. "Let's have dinner right away. Gracia's cooking is delicious." Maes comments. On the table was a large quiche that smelled delicious.
"Okay, eat up." Maes says.
"I graciously accept this meal." Edward says before digging in.
"Thank you for the meal." Rebecca says more shyly before eating.
"Yum! It's delicious!" Edward calls out making Rebecca and Maes smile.
"Have plenty, okay?" Gracia asks.
"Sure!" Edward answers before eating.
"Alphonse, you cant eat while still wearing your armour, right?" Maes asks, making all three teens stop what there doing. "W-Well, you see..." Al tries to explain.
"A-Al is in the middle of his alchemy training right now." Edward says nervously. Okay, Al, I'll eat enough for both of us today, too!"
"Training! Training!" Elicia calls making Rebecca smile.
A loud laugh echoed through the halls of Central prison. "That's the funniest joke I've heard in a while." The freezing Alchemist was standing in front of a prison cell. "The Freezing Alchemist and me, team up? Me, the Crimson Alchemist?"
"Kimblee, together we'll get Bradley and bring down this rotten military!" Isaac says to Kimblee in an demanding voice. "You must have seen the hell that took place in Ishbal. You must know what Bradley made up do there. That's why you killed those officers, right?" Isaac questions. Once again Kimblee starts laughing and looks at Isaac. "Please, don't misunderstand. I do not think in such sophisticated terms. I killed those guys because I wanted to kill them, nothing more." Kimblee explains with a grin on his face.
"That's too bad Kimblee. It truly if too bad." Isaac mumbles while walking out of the prision ward. "Good work" Isaac says while pushing over the frozen officer.
Maes sat in his living room in his pyjamas, staring into space. A door opens and his wife, Gracia walks in from their bedroom saying and asking. "This is unusual. Can't you sleep?"
"Nah..." Maes replies.
"Do you want me to guess?" Gracia asks.
"Huh?"
"You were thinking about those three, weren't you?"
"State Alchemist are the ones who people call the Dogs of the Military. When i think of him being that at their age ..." Maes admits while closing his eyes, making Gracia smile.
In the other room, Edward and Rebecca Lay in bed together. Rebecca had her head on Edwards chest and was fast sleep. While Edward just lay there while his blonde hair flowing out onto the pillow with his left arm around Rebecca. "Brother, are you awake?" Alphonse whispered to Edward. Edward looks over to Alphonse questionly. "Mrs. Gracia's quiche looks like mum's huh?" Alphonse asked.
"Yeah, it was delicious." Edward commented.
"Really?" Al asks while pulling out a little black book. "in that case, I'll have to add it to the list of thing to eat once i get my body back."
Edward grins and replies. "Yeah, add it on, add it on."
"Brother ..." Alphonse says.
"Hmm?"
"I sure would like to get our old bodies back soon."
"Yeah, Don't forgot Rebecca's Body either." Edward says while stroking Rebecca brown hair.
In the darkness of the night, Isaac drew an alchemy circle on the concrete of the street.
"One more..." Isaac mumbles. "one more, and Bradley's on his way to hell."
The next morning Roy was walking down the hall way saying. "According to reports, Isaac sneaked into Central Prison last night. The situation doesn't leave us a moment to spear. find him, no matter what." Roy demands. "Close off all roads and look in every last spot. Upon finding him, you are free to shoot him dead. That is an order from the futhrer." Roy walks out of the building with his Blue uniform on and a black coat on top while putting his white alchemy glove on. "Im going out, too" Roy informs.
"Medic! Hurry!" A solider calls.
"Report to headquarters, five men dead." Another one calls.
Rebecca, Edward; who are holding hands and Alphonse stood in front of a murdered solider.
"How awful." comments Alphonse.
"Steam explosion. When you rapidly raise the temperature of water, it expands with explosive force. The human body is seventy percent water, after all..." Edward explains to Alphonse. "Let's hurry. We have to find him quickly." Rebecca says, letting go of Edwards hand and starts to walk off. "Mm-hmm" Alphonse replies.
Isaac sat on the concrete ground of a dim ally way. "All right." I says after finishing the last alchemy circle. suddenly Electricity from alchemy appeared through the wall, after a second what looked liked spears went through the wall to hit Isaac but he jumped away in time. "Impressive, being able to dodge my alchemy, Mr. Isaac." A voice boomed from the other side of the wall. Isaac gets into a fighting stance. "That voice ...! Armstrong?" An arm burst through the wall. "Indeed it is!" Armstrong replies before bursting through the wall. "The Strong Arm Alchemist, Alex Louis Armstrong!" He introduces while walking towards the Freezing alchemist. "Take this!" Isaac shouts while slamming his hand onto the floor sending water towards Armstrong. Armstrong steps out of the way of the water and watches it as it slices through his concrete spears that are still sticking out of the wall. "High-pressure water will slice through anything!" Isaac shouts to Armstrong. Isaac sends more water from the ground towards Armstrong. "It is all for naught before my fist!" Armstrong says.
A huge explosion is heard and seen from the ally way were the freezing alchemist and the Strong Arm Alchemist are fighting. Rebecca. Edward and Alphonse turn round to look at the explosion to see heads that look like Armstrong's head flying through the air. The three teens ran down the alley. "Major!" Alphonse calls to Armstrong. Isaac gasps before sending a canteen of water towards them using is alchemy to cause hot steam. "Look out!" Alphonse shouts while picking up Edward and Rebecca and turning his back towards the steam, protecting them. Isaac uses this time to get away. "Water from his canteen?" Edward asks himself.
"Thank you Al!" Rebecca thanks while knocking lightly into Alphonse's armour.
"Let's get after him, Brother, Rebecca!" Alphonse says.
"Let's go, Elric brothers and friend!" Armstrong says while walking to the three teens, making Rebecca grumble and mumble, "Why am I just the friend?" Edward chuckles before answering the Major. "Right!"
Isaac stood on the top of a building looking out onto Central. "It's been a long time, Freezing." The voice of Roy mustang appeared making Isaac look towards him and says. "Roy Mustang ... or rather, the Flame Alchemist." Roy stood on the other side of the building with a line of gun-man. "It's a shame, having to fight against someone who was once a war buddy." Roy says. "War buddy? I have no friends." Isaac says proudly. "The only ones in Ishbal were the rotten military and their dogs!" Isaac shouts making Roy click his fingers causing a flame to fly towards Isaac. Isaac uses his alchemy to burst all the water pipes around the officers, causing Roy to get dripping wet. "Flame will never beat water!" Isaac shouts while running across frozen water making a bridge for him to get away, before getting off the bridge he turn it back into water.
Isaac runs down the alley way where he and Armstrong fought. "Damn!" He says while lifting up the rocks that had fallen onto his alchemy circle. He smiles once he sees that the circle is still in one piece. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"That's far enough!"Edward calls from one side of the alley way with Rebecca standing next to him. "I was wondering what you were doing in this alley, so I came back to see, and bingo!" Isaac starts to laugh while standing up. Alphonse then runs to the other side of the alley. "It's no use trying to escape"
"Escape? There's no need to!" Isaac says while stretching his arms out, activating the alchemy circle causing a deep red glow. By activating that one circle, other around Central activate. Rebecca gasps and her grip tightens on Edwards hand. "An alchemic reaction like this, all at the same time ..." Edward lets out slowly in shock.
"Impossible. It couldn't be..." Alphonse says slowly.
"A Philosopher's Stone!" Rebecca Shouts with a smile on her face. As soon as she finished her sentence, the red glow turned into a bright blue glow. Rebecca and Edward looked down and saw ice building up against the buildings. "What? He used the moisture in the air..." Edward mumbles. "Edward Elric!" Isaac shouts making Edward and Rebecca Look up. "Dog of the Military, State Alchemist! Do you know what this country is trying to do?" Isaac asks.
"Who cares? More importantly..." Edward says while grinning.
"If you knew, you'd understand what i am trying to do!" Isaac shouts.
"He told you, He doesn't know!" Rebecca shouts, defending Edward. Alphonse then jumps over the ice wall that Isaac was standing in front of, ran up to Isaac and started to punch him but Isaac dodged but then Alphonse kicked him in the stomach and he flew out of the alley way. Edward pulled Rebecca out the way of the flying man, just missing him. Isaac flew back and smacked into some railings. "All right, Al! Nicely done!" Edward shouts to Alphonse.
"Brother. his alchemy!" Alphonse warns.
"Yeah!" Edward replies to Alphonse before talking to Isaac. "Hey, you! You have a Philosopher's Stone, don't you?" Edward demands to Isaac.
"What are you talking about?" Isaac asks with a sly grin.
"If you won't tell us, I'll force it out of you..." Rebecca threatened while walking towards Isaac.
"Is this any time to be talking nonsense?" Isaac calls before sending water from the large river behind into the air and freezing it. Isaac then stands up, laughs and holds onto the railing that is being lifted up by the ice. Edward, Rebecca and Alphonse scream and run away from the huge ice block.
"Take a good look at the artistic alchemy..." Armstrong shouts while preparing to use his alchemy. "He's all your, Major!" Rebecca shouts while sprinting past the man with Edward and Alphonse. A pink sparkle appeared at Armstrong's head as he spoke carried on with this sentence, "that has been passed down through the Armstrong family..." He activates with alchemy circle, "for generations!" He shouts before punching the huge ice block and was racing towards him ... causing the ice to turn a different way and go through some buildings. Armstrong stood there in shock along with Rebecca and the Elric Brothers. "What?" Armstrong shouts. "What are you doing Major?" Edward shouts.
"Oh, i was just..." Armstrong started before being cut off by a huge explosion. The block of ice kept racing through Central causing everybody and scream and run to safety. "The ice walls..." Alphonse started. "They're connecting." Edward and Rebecca said in unison.
"Don't tell me he's..." Rebecca started but stopped.
"It's Central... no, Central Command Centre..." Edward spoke.
"He's going to freeze it over!" The three teens shout together.
"Major! Al and I will stop him!" Edward shouts.
"What about me?" Rebecca shouts grabbing onto Edwards shoulder.
"I don't want you getting hurt." Edward shouts back.
"I'm helping whether you like it or not, Ed." Rebecca says while glaring at Edward. Edwards eye soften. "Don't get yourself hurt and stay with me." Edward commands.
"Major, the transmutation circles-" Edward starts
"must be destroyed! You got it!" Armstrong shouts.
"King Bradley, now i will bury you with my own ice!" Isaac shouted from the top of the ice wall. "Hold it!" Edward shouts getting Isaac's attention. Edward grabbed Rebecca by the waist and used his alchemy to create a tower and concrete that when higher enough for Edward and Rebecca to get onto the ice wall it disappeared. Alphonse then did the same, landing just behind Rebecca and Edward. Isaac used his alchemy to morph the ice so it went towards the three teens. "You're such a pain!" Edward shouts as he uses his alchemy to make the ice waves caused by Isaac repeal and go break towards Isaac causing him to fly off the ice. He then used his alchemy to turn a piece of ice into hot water. The three teens stood there then Rebecca and Edward started screaming about the boiling water. Isaac then transmitted the ice into steps as he ran towards the teens. "Brother!" Alphonse shouted as he grabbed Edward and pulled him away. Rebecca then took the advantage to try and punch Isaac but failed only to be kicked into the stomach and kicked toward the Elric brothers. "Rebecca!" Edward shouted as he helped her up. "Are you all right?" he asks.
"I'm fine Ed." Rebecca replies, keeping her eyes onto Isaac as he ran towards them.
"Too slow!" Isaac shouted as he grabbed into Alphonse's head causing it to explode with steam. Alphonse's head flew off his body. "Al!" Rebecca and Edward shouted as Alphonse's body fell backwards still holding onto Edward. Alphonse then flip his legs up, trying to kick Isaac and did a back flip, flipping Edward over with him. Isaac's sight set onto Alphonse's armour. He looked into the top only to see a seal made out of blood. His eyes widen as he asks. "An empty suit of armour?" Edward picked up Alphonse's head. "You mean, your soul is bonded to the armour?" His eyes widen as he realizes more. "You lost your arm, and your brother's body is hollow ..." His face then turns into a grin. "I get it! You guys committed the taboo!" Edwards eyes widen slightly and Rebecca grinded her teeth together in angry. "You performed human transmutation, alchemy's greatest taboo!" Isaac shouted. Edwards eyes widen as the memories pour back into his mind.
"Al! Alphonse! Rebecca!" Edward screams as he's on his hands and knee at the edge of a transmutation circle. "Damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen!" He carries on screaming. "Damn it all!" He shouts as he looks back at his missing leg. "E-Edward." A voice stutters. Edwards eyes widen as he looks up at the body of a young girl in front of him. The girl looks up at Edward with tears rolling down her face. "It hurts Ed, It hurts." She mumbles out. Both of her arms were missing, blood covered her white top and was dripping onto the floor. "W-Where's Al?" she asks through the pain. "He's been taken away!" He shouts once again. The girls eyes widen then she falls onto the floor, passing out from blood lose. A huge metal armour is pushed onto the floor with the head taken off. Edward uses his blood to create the bonding seal. "Give him back! He's my brother!" Edward shouts with tears rolling down his face. He then claps his hands together causing a white light ...
Edward looks at the ice floor before speaking. "You've just taken your first step into hell." Isaac looks at Edward confused before noticing that Edward if sprinting towards him. Edward punches him in the stomach causing Isaac to lean forward then Edward linked his hands together and smacked the back of Isaac's head, pushing him to the ground. Isaac then uses his alchemy to create ice spikes to hit Edward but he back flips out the way. Then Alphonse runs forward and knock the spikes out the way. Rebecca jumps over Alphonse and kick Isaac in the chest to push him off the edge of the ice wall only for Isaac to grab her leg and pull her down with him. "Rebecca!" The Elric brothers shout as she hit sharp corners of the ice causing huge bruise and scratches on her face. Edward and Alphonse slide down the ice wall. Both Rebecca and Isaac stay on their stomach. With blood running down Isaac's right arm, he's tries to get up. "Give it up. There's no water for you to use." Edward says making Isaac grin.
"You've forgotten something. What is seventy percent of the body made of?" Isaac asks making Edward gasp. Isaac uses his alchemy to use his blood, shooting it towards Edward, hitting him in the shoulder. "Edward!" Rebecca shouts while standing up to run to the brothers. "Brother!" Alphonse shouts while smashing the frozen blood forgetting about Rebecca. As Alphonse was making sure Edward was all right as Edward did collapse to the floor as Isaac stood up, a scream pierced through the night. The brothers look over to see Rebecca with Blood sticking into her stomach. Rebecca smashes the blood but stays standing up. Isaac was now standing in between her and the Elric brothers. Isaac turns round to face her and grab her, putting his arm around her neck, cutting off her air supply. "You guys don't understand the shape this country is in!" Isaac shouts tightening the hold into Rebecca making her gasp in pain. The ice walls then started to climb the buildings. Isaac started laughing and started to walk off with Rebecca still in his head lock. "Brother! Brother! He's taken Rebecca" Alphonse called. Edwards face grow angry. "Al, we're going after him. Mess around with me or my girlfriend... will he?" Edward questions madly.
The officers were still trying to blow holes into the ice walls but the ice just kept filling itself back in. Roy Mustang walked up to the ice wall still soaking wet and his feet sticking to the ground were ice quickly froze over the sole of his work boats. He had a determined look on his face as he clicked his finger causing a huge explosion. "Don't underestimate my flames!" He screams. Riza Hawkeye closes the suitcase full of gloves with an Alchemy circle on Identical to Roy's glove. "Good grief." she mumbles before carrying on. "Please, try to only be useless on rainy days, okay?" She scolds like Mustang's mother.
Isaac stumbles down an alley way with Rebecca struggling to get him off her. "Get off me." She mumbles angrily. Isaac then stops walking. Rebecca looks up to see King fuhrer Bradley standing across from them with an evil look in his eye. "Bradley!" Isaac shouts. Isaac then starts laughing and throws Rebecca against the wall of the alleyway. "Say your prayers!" Isaac shouts insanely before turn his blood into a blood spear. His grin widens as he starts to walk towards Bradley. Rebecca gets herself safe against the wall of the building while coughing to get her breath back. Isaac starts sprinting towards Bradley with his grin getting bigger and bigger. As soon as Isaac is in front of Bradley, he pulls his sword out within a miller second. Blood spills out of Isaac making him fall to the floor dead. Rebecca's eyes widen at the scene in front of her then winces at her stomach. She looks up to see the philosopher's stone disappearing into the air. She gasps and then frowns slightly.
A grin grows on Kimblee's face. "That's too bad."
Roy clicked down one of the alley ways that had the alchemy circles in. "Major, now!" He shouts to Armstrong. "Acknowledged!" Armstrong shouts back using his alchemy to smash the circle into pieces. The red glow that went around the city faded so the city was back to its normal self.
Edward and Alphonse got to the alleyway where Isaac had been killed. Edward was also looking round for Rebecca but couldn't see any sign of her. "Fuhrer King Bradley..." Edward started. "Oh, good work, Fullmetal Alchemist. I see ... To think that I'd be able to give you a hand. This will make a good story for my son." King Bradley said with a smile on his face. He then turns round and walks up to Rebecca who is sitting against the wall trying to calm down. "Rebecca!" Edward calls running over to her. Her head shoots up to look at Ed. "Oh Edward!" She calls while getting off the floor and sprinting towards Edward, Ignoring the Fuhrer who just smiled. Rebecca threw arms around Edwards neck and her legs around his waist. "Thank god your all right!" Rebecca cried while digging her face into Edwards neck.
"I should be thank god that your all right. I had a heart attack when Al said that he had taken you away... Why are you crying?" Edward asks.
"I'm so happy your okay..." Rebecca whispered while putting her feet on the ground. Edward placed his hands on each side of her face and whipped away the tears before pulled her into a deep kiss. Rebecca instantly kissed back, tightening the grip around his neck. Edwards hands travelled down her back and tightening his arms around her waist. Everybody around watched as the two lovers kissed with smiles on their faces. Once the two stopped kissing they put their foreheads together and stares into their eyes. The Fuhrer walked up to the two and smiled which they returned. "I'm sorry you had to see that earlier confusion. I'm glad you're safe." Fuhrer apologised.
"I'm sorry to Fuhrer for a few reasons. One; For making you come out here and Two; for not using my alchemy not being up the standards i could be at." Rebecca spoke back.
"Hey, you did your best." Edward answered back.
"Fullmetal is right. You did your best." With that the Fuhrer ruffled Rebecca hair and walked off. Rebecca and Edward looked at each other and kissed again. "Get a room!" Alphonse shouts making everyone laugh.
The next morning Roy sat in his office sneezing. "What, you got a cold? Anyhow, i hear you really outdid yourself huh?" asked Maes.
"I just destroyed the transmutation circles. The Fuhrer is the one who brought down the criminal." Commented Roy
"And the Fuhrer is giving you credit for the deed." Roy stares at him. "What's wrong, you upset? Just graciously accept the compliment. Haven't i always told you, listen carefully when your elders speak?" Maes commented making Roy look pissed off.
"It turns out, we never did find out whether or not he had a Philosopher's Stone." Alphonse said while sitting in the middle of mine and Edwards's bed though I haven't gotten into the same bed as Edward. "Yeah, we'll just have to wait for the military's report." Edward said while stroking Rebecca's hair. A knock on the door interrupted the conversation. The three teen's looks at the door to see a bunch of roses appear. "Edward Elric, Rebecca Noir, when I heard you was in hospital, I dashed over!" Called Armstrong. Alphonse, Edward and Rebecca all started to shuffle away from him. "Here, let me relieve your boredom while you're in here." He then rips off his top and starts showing off his muscles.
"I prefer Edwards" Rebecca mumbles while tracing around Edwards stomach. I'm sure the beauty of my muscles will warm your heart." Armstrong calls.
"Edwards taken and warmed my heart." Rebecca mumbles making Edward turn red.
"Don't be shy; you can touch them if you like." Armstrong says.
"STOP!" The three teens shout.
"Oh, Isaac is dead, is he?" the voice of a female spoke through the phone. "Such a shame, he would have been a good sacrifice. So, what about the Philosopher's Stone?" She asks and waited for the answer. "Hmm, he overused it." The sounds of bodies being ripped apart in erupted the conversation. "Gluttony, you shouldn't eat such things." the woman shouts to the short fat man. "Yes, things are going well in Loire. It will be, very soon."
