The train buckled and Ed felt it lift from the tracks throwing him into it's heaving side. Metal warped and groaned as the train derailed tossing its passengers away from their seats and to the windows that shattered on impact with the hard ground. People screamed in Ed's ringing ears as they were cut and/or killed on impact with broken glass or disoriented metal jutting in from the sides. Ed could feel blood, not his own, seeping in underneath the back of his head as he hung overturned.

He could hear Alphonse calling his name but he couldn't turn his head… His neck hurt too much; and his leg was numb but hurting, somehow, at the same time. It was above him and he could easily see the crimson dripping, jagged, twist of metal that had somehow morphed itself away from his seat and skewered his leg; from thus, he was suspended upside-down.

A wave of pain and nausea washed over him and he maintained consciousness only long enough to watch the eerie black discoloration slowly melt across the sides and base of the train. The temperature inside rose as the train caught fire only fueling the inevitable. This wasn't going to end well, Ed knew; for being the last thing, he would know for a long while to come following the darkness that consumed his vision.

Blinding white light penetrated the barrier of Ed's eyelids and he closed them tighter, groaning and adjusting in the bed he lay upon before trying to open his amber orbs again.

An ominous suit of armor hurried over to his side.

Ed slouched in attempts to evade the gaze of this odd knight. Who was he?

"How are you feeling brother?"

'Brother???' Who does he think he is? I don't have a… wait… do I?...wait… Who am I?

"Brother?"

"…" (T.T) I'm so confused.

The armor turned to a lady dressed in a short ashen gown with hair to match. "Is he okay?"

Ed leaned to peer around the body armor to see what she would say. As he leaned, an unexpected electrocution of excruciating pain washed through him and he cried out.

The armor then stepped back to make room for the woman who instantly began adjusting him, and a few things around him…, which he couldn't identify…

She reached down to alter the positioning of Ed's legs while he continued to groan… The moment she moved his flesh leg the slightest bit Ed screamed at the instant anguish and writhed as warm salty moisture made it's way down both sides of his face, pooling into his ears.

"We need morphine!" He didn' know what she said; he barely heard the feminine voice rise over his own. Ed arched his back to try and release the pressure he felt on his lower body but slammed his shoulders back onto the bed since his neck refused to support the rigid movement due to similar pain there as in his leg.

Ed thrashed, fighting for a painless position with the unfortunate realization that his whole body hurt. He could feel the hands of several other people struggling to keep him still, but his reflexes to the pain to snap out of the position causing him harm kept him moving and in agony.

Shouts resonating in Ed's drumming ears struck a familiar and terrifying chord that threw him into an uncontrollable state of hysteria that knocked him out in nearly an instant.
