Chapter One-Out of the Shadows

Disclaimer:I really should only have to put that much but fine, I don't own FMA characters.

Author's notes- This situation takes place right after the fight at Lab 5 from Brotherhood. Kinda like an alternative situation instead of Envy just bringing Ed back to Al and Ross as the buildings' imploding.

Chapter One-Strange people

Who were these people? They had just shown up out of the shadows and killed the two mass murdering brothers. The Fullmetal alchemist was lying against a pillar and could do nothing to stop them. They were surprised to see him there. He had been referred to as a sacrifice and couldn't help but wonder what that meant. He could have ran away and gotten out of there but as always he was just too curious. He pushed himself up to his feet. There was something odd about these two. The women didn't say much and the guy had just revealed how cruel he could be as he stabbed through the one blood seal. Still holding the sword he came dangerously close to Ed's face. He disregarded his questions and called him a pipsqueak which got his blood boiling. Kicking upward was the only thing he could manage but still missed the smug face before him as the sword toting enemy jumped back. Edward had to end it fast, before he passed out. He could feel himself loosing more blood with every movement.

"Whoa, now there's no need to fight here, someone might get hurt yah know," came the response to his kick. The sword fell to the floor and his attacker moved back. Edward brought his hands together, preparing to transmute his metal arm again. He had no choice but to fight.

"This is a fight that you started, so come on." there was an unsettling pop from his automail and his arm went limp by his side.

"Technical difficulties," the dark women observed. Ed's breath caught in his throat. It's what he had dreaded was going happen. "Wha..." He looked down in utter disbelief. He hadn't pushed it that much had he? His attacker moved forward again, with a triumphant grin on his face.

"Lucky me!" Ed felt his hair get tugged upward suddenly and was kneed in the stomach, hard. It knocked the wind out of him and he would have slumped to the ground if the enemy didn't still hold onto his braid. "You're fortunate your arms' broken, if not for that you wouldn't be getting off so easily." With that final statement he was tossed to the floor. Nothing could convince him to get up now, the gash in his abdomen was burning and had started bleeding more.

"Listen to me well boy, don't ever forget this, always remember we let you live," The women informed him while he was still able to hear her. She then mentioned something about him not being able to find this location again, and something else but by that point everything was going dark. His vision became blurry and not even his will could keep him conscious. "Blow it up," she suggested.

"Sounds good to me, but what do we do with this," the other Homunculi asked her, kicking Ed again in the side. She turned away as though she was bored by the question but at the same time, felt her partner was overdoing it as he kept kicking.
"Envy, that's enough. Bring him with us. We'll bring him to Father now. See what he wants us to do with him?" Lust extended her fingertips, shredding the walls nearby, causing permanent damage to the building's structure. Envy grabbed the back of Edward's shirt along with his hair again and dragged him behind them.

"But won't they be looking for him?"

"They are getting too close to the truth, we need a stall," Lust told him as they moved down below the building as it started to crumble.
