New Life

The Last Battle

After dreaming of the day he could finally return to his original body, blood and flesh, Al the empty suit of armor, found himself laying in the middle of a large transmutation circle, unable to move. After looking for this magical object who opposed the fundamentals of equivalent trade, he had become the same very object. He was the philosopher's stone, but he was no object. Using the stone could risk his existence. The battle still continued in his mind, and outside. He wanted to prove the world he wasn't just an empty armor, he was actually a boy, he sought for the day people would see and treat him as a child. He had missed those days so, but he would give his brother his dream, only if the other asked... His existence was worth nothing without his older brother by his side.

His eyes grew bigger as Envy advanced Ed, invisible tears leaking down cheeks as he screamed for the Homonculus to leave his brother alone. Not Ed... Just not Ed... He'd give anything... Whatever was left from him. He'd do anything for his older brother, he'd be walking as an empty suit of armor for the rest of his life; unable to feel, eat or sleep. Without Ed, he was nothing. "Niisan!" he screamed.

Ed kept going, ignoring Al's screams, dodging attack after attack expertly. It was impossible to kill a Homonculus, right? No, he would make it possible today. He transumated his right arm into a larger dagger, charging at Envy with a battle scream. The Homonculus laughed at his attempts, jumping gracfully up and down, disappearing from sight by his inhuman speed only to appear two seconds later in front of the unsuspecting Ed, kicking the other right in the face.

Inside his armor Al couldn't take it anymore, he wished he had eyes so that he could close them, he didn't want to see any of this! He didn't want to watch his only brother die in this place! Dante? his mind raced. Where was Dante? She was gone!

"Ooh, why do you make such a face?" Envy taunted, moving to straddle Ed's abdomen "What? Are you hurt?" he punched the blond in the jaw. A sick cracking sound was heard, as the bone broke, making Al struggle against the stone inside him, which was preventing him any movements. The circle... he had to break it, but it was... It was engraved into the ground! He panicked "Niisan! Niisan! Please! Get up!" he shouted, watching helplessly as Ed kept laying beneath Envy unmoving.

The Homonculus' laughter echoed in the hall, as he grabbed Ed's auto-mail arm and twisted it easily so that it aimed at the blonde's chest. "No! No! Let him go! Let him go! Le-...!"

"Shut up already!" Envy snapped, eyeing Al over his shoulder angrily "I won't let you ruin the moment I've been waiting for for so long!"

"No! Leave my brother alone! It is me you want! I am Hohenheim's son, too!" Al argued. This made Envy scowl, as he removed his weight from the bleeding Ed, kicking the blond hard in the stomach.

"Oh, this is interesting, too bad I can't really kill you!" he yelled, kicking Ed again and again to the sound of Al's weakening screams. "What do you say E-d? You want your little brother to accompany you?" he snarled, aiming at Edward's face this time. Oh, how he enjoyed to see those two brothers at his mercy. Those two brothers who had taken from him everything.

A loud yelp made its way out of his mouth as he was suddenly flipped to the floor, his head hitting the hard stony tiles. "Leave my little brother out of this!" Ed yelled.

"What the he-...!" Envy managed to say, rolling to the right as the raging Ed jumped toward him with his auto-mail leg right in the front.

"Niisan, be careful!" Al shouted, slowly calming down as he watched Ed taking over the situation. Purple and blue bruises decorated Ed's body as he removed his upper long sleeve shirt. He had lost a lot of blood, but he was still alive. The thought of Al getting hurt because of him motivated him to continue this tiring fight. If he died who would restore Al's body? If he died, he would let down his brother.

"AYAAA!" he shouted, his small body as though floating in the air until his two legs met the Homonculus face.

Envy groaned as he was thrown backwards right on top of Al, in the middle of the transmutation circle. He cursed as the tattoo on Al's body shined and hurried to get away from it, but faced an obstacle as Al grabbed him by the arm and refused to let go. "Release me now, brat!" he yelled, as the reddish strange light spread over the rest of the circle around them.

Ed smirked as he neared the circle and without delay clapped his hands together "Hold on, Al!" his hands met the edge of the circle, sending tingles to his fingertips. He was tired, so tired, but he had to get rid of Envy, and this was the only way he could think of to save the both of them.

Looking around himself, a young boy moved to get up from a large white, never ending floor. He frowned when he couldn't see anything much than this until "Oy!" he looked over his shoulder to see Envy. "Envy!" Al shouted.

"Oh, so it's you." the Homonculus said, putting his one hand on his hip "Well... I haven't been here for awhile, nothing changed much..." he said in boredom. Al looked up to see a large wooden gate, he then looked down at himself and frowned again.

"What are we doing here? Is this the... truth?" he asked. Envy shrugged.

"Looks like I've been sold." he said as the doors of the gate suddenly shook, opening slowly.

Al blinked "Sold...? What do you mea-... Hey!" he called, watching wide eyed as many black small creatures poked out of the doors, climbing over Envy and... himself! "N-No, please stop it!..." he told them, as they giggled and covered his all arm. His arm... it looked like, his body... "Let go of me!" he pleaded as they led him right into the gate after Envy. What was happening? What was-...? His eyes grew wider as he noticed his original body floating there over the sea of the black creatures. His body!

"GIVE ME BACK MY BROTHER'S BODY!"
