Fullmetal Alchemist- "Broken."
6:00 a.m., Amestris Hospital
Ed's P.O.V.-
Ah... my head hurts. Where the hell... am I? I opened my eyes. I was lying on a hospital bed; a blanket was covering my chest, and curtains were around the bed. I heard a door open, and I pretended to still be asleep. "Still asleep, eh? Who knew he would be able to take a beating like that." "Hughes, Fullmetal is in a coma because of the homunculi. Stay here and keep guard, I need to attend to some business back at HQ." It was Lt. Colonel Hughes and Col. Mustang. I opened my eyes again, and this time when I sat up, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I saw the bandages, but didn't mind them. I opened the curtain, and Hughes was sitting in a chair. "So, you are awake. How're the wounds doing?" he asked. "You tell me, what the hell happened to me?" "Junkyard Personnel found you buried in trash along with Alphonse. Gluttony was about to kill you both, but we drove him off and saved you guys. Alphonse is alright, but you, you were in a coma for 2 weeks already. Your Automail leg was damaged but is still intact. You had 4 busted ribs, and... Well... your spine was damaged so... you won't be able to walk for good." I didn't know what to say when he said that. Instead of losing my arm and leg, I've lost both of my legs. I tried to get up and walk, instead I collapsed on the floor. I tried getting up again; my legs refused to work. "Hey, you need help? I could get a doctor." "N-No... just get me a wheelchair, Hughes. I wanna see Al." Hughes got a wheelchair and helped me get onto it. I closed my eyes for a bit to think of ways to get my legs back. "We're here, Ed." I opened my eyes, we were in a room; Al was watching the news on TV. He turned his head and just sat there. "B-Brother? Brother!" he yelled. He pecked me up and hugged me; I started to shed tears a bit. Al put me on a chair, and Hughes left. "How come Hughes brought you in a wheelchair?" Al asked. "I can't walk anymore... remember we were battling the homunculi? And Envy stabbed me in the back? My spine got damaged when they buried us in the junkyard..."
Flashback:
"You guys don't stand a chance against me and Gluttony! Give up already!" Envy yelled. Ed and Al had been fighting for a while now. They tracked down the homunculi to the blizzard-struck mountains. "Brother, we'll be home in time to see Winry, right?" "You can count on it, Al! First, let's just get rid of these freaks." Ed said. "F-Freaks... did you hear what that pipsqueak bastard said, Gluttony? He just called us perfect homunculi freaks..!" Envy yelled. "I'm hungry... for metal." Gluttony said. Everyone started throwing punches at each other. The fighting went on for minutes, until Ed's back and chest was pierced by Envy's hand. Gluttony had run away, and Al fell to his knees as he watched his brother endure agonizing pain. Ed coughed up blood as Envy took its hand out of Ed's chest and back. "So, I guess I won't be the one to murder you just yet. You, Alphonse Elric; I'll make a deal with you. If you let me bury you and the shorty in a trash heap, chances are you'll be found by the military goons or a junkyard diver. If you run away with him, Gluttony will cause an avalanche, and you'll freeze to death. Which is it?" Al walked over to Ed and picked him up. "D-Deal... just let my brother live." Al said. Envy led them downhill to a junkyard, and buried both of the brothers in a pile of trash. "Alphonse... I-If I die and y-you live, tell Winry... I love her... so much." Ed said. "Be quiet, Ed. We'll be out of here. I promise."
Reality- The present:
"I remember that, Ed. When... are we going home, anyway?" Al asked. "Well, Come on down to my room. We'll pack up and to get to Winry's before the doctor finds out we're gone. If he does, we're screwed." "Right."
