I Do not own FMA!

Miles under the surface of the earth, in forgotten runes, only remembered in myths and stories. Where an inter city was said to have vanished in one night. Edward Elric found himself fighting against homunculi in search for his brother who they kidnapped before head.

He ended up finding more then just his younger brother but in fact, inside the hollow metal body of Alphonse Elric, sealed away was the philosopher's stone. The only reason why the homunculi would try to kidnap Al under Ed's nose was for that one legendary item. The alchemic amplifier that would turn them into humans.

"I'll be blunt, give me back my brother." Ed's voice echoed in the large room. "And I'm not going to ask you again!" He yelled and wiped blood off his lip with the back of his hand from his and Envy's pervious fight.

"Good, because I'm not going to tell you over an over that he's not going anywhere. His body is filled with precious cargo we can't afford to lose." Envy smirked as he titled his head to look at the helpless Alphonse, lying on his back on the floor in the middle of a blue transmutation circle.

Ed glanced over at him too, with a look if anger.

"Oh, Pour little Elric. It must piss you off to see him like that." Envy said with his evil grin.

Edward closed his fists tightly and gritted his teeth at the sight of his brother; he felt the nails in his left hand start to dig into his palm. Having the urge to beat down everyone in the room that dare harm Al.

"Well if you won't hand him over quietly-" Edward said clapping his hand ready for a fight.

"I wouldn't use alchemy around your brother if I where you." Said a voice before he could transmute anything. He turned to where Lady Dante and Rose had been standing idly by while the two fought. "You might activate the stones power. Who knows what will happen to your brother?"

Edward gritted his teeth again. Though he hated it, she was right, but no alchemy meant a greater advantage for Envy.

Envy almost wished he wasn't disarmed of his alchemy. Feeling over confident that the little pipsqueak wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Ed turned back to Envy raising his fist, ready to plant a hard punch on his smug face but stopped in mid swing.

Standing right in front of him was his friend Maes Hughes. Ed stood there flabbergasted (overcome with astonishment), stopped completely in his tracks. Envy grinned. In Ed's bewildered state he kneed him in the stomach then spun around and side kicked him in the face.

From this sudden pain Ed woke up and attempted to defend himself the best way he could against his tough opponent. He was prepared to fight even with the absence of his alchemy, though it proved to be difficult.

He swung his attack again and the artificial human easily avoided it by jumping backwards. The face of Hughes smirked and pulled a knife out of his sleeve. "Come Ed don't do this." Envy spoke in Maes's voice. "Do you really what to kill me twice?"

"Stop that and fight me!" Ed yelled. He moved towards his impersonated friend, avoiding the knife and bashed him in the gut. The attack did some harm, though Envy didn't even say so much as 'umph'.

He stood straight and faced Edward "Hmm, why don't we try this instead?" Envy now took the form Winry. "Ed, please." Winry pleaded. "Don't fight-"

Ed paid no attention this time and swung at her. With inhuman speed Winry quickly ducked. "Don't play coy with me! I really know you're just a homunculi under that face!" Edward said backing away to make distance between him and Envy.

"Give the dog a bone." Envy utters dryly turning back to his normal form. "You finally learned. I guess this lil' trick won't work anymore." Envy said faking a sad face but Ed failed to see any sign of disappointment.

"Envy, stop playing with him and finish him." Lady Dante yelled across the room.

Not giving Envy the time to make the first move, Ed swung his fists again and merely hit his opponent when Envy moved back. This time Envy found a time when Ed let his guard and was open for an attack; He had wasted no time, quickly punching Ed painfully in the stomach to fast for him to react. Ed felt a rush as the wind is knocked out of him from the full blunt blow.

"Edward!" Al yelled.

At this point Ed found that swung his arms around wasn't going to do much, he could barely even touch him to make an attack. So Ed went with a defensive strategy, every kick and punch Envy threw at him he either blocked or dodged, waiting for the right moment to strike him.

Edward jumped and tackled the homunculus to the ground landing punches to Envy's face.

Envy's head turned into the face of his mother. "Don't hurt me Edward, please."

"That would work with me!" Ed punched his face.

"Relax, would ya?" Envy said as Maes Hughes again. Ed struck him with another punch.

"You don't have what it takes to kill your superior officer." Envy now taking the form of Roy.

Ed smirked "To bad you're not the real one or I'd enjoy this!" thrusting another blow to Envy's face.

"What kind of… person masks himself behind… other peoples faces!?" Edward bellowed furiously between punches.

While Ed uncontrollably attacked in anger Envy created a spike out of his hand, out of Ed's view.

Suddenly Ed felt excruciating pain as Envy's spike entered his chest crushing his ribs, straight through his heart. Then he felt comparative relief when the spike was pulled away. Coughing up a mouth full of blood, Ed turned and got one last look at Al before he fell over dead.

Envy stood up mumbling something about humans being so weak but wasn't heard over Al's screams.
