I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are very OOC.

The pain shoots through him once he opened his eyes. Why was he feeling pain? He couldn't remember.

Oh yeah, it had been a fight, Kimblee had used the Stone to make a bigger explosion. The tower they had been fighting inside had fallen to the ground.

The boy's golden eyes tried to look around, trying to understand why he was in pain. They felt on a pole going right through his stomach, sticking out on both sides. Blood made its way out of his mouth as those golden eyes watched the thing that made the ground around him red.

Several thoughts made its way into his mind while he watched the blood leak from the wound.

Thoughts about his brother, about all the people he cared about, dead or alive, thoughts about Winry. He had promised her that the next time she would cry would be of happiness. He couldn't die there.

His eyes were almost clouded over as he clapped his hands and touched the ground. His only way to survive was by the help from the two chimeras he had been fighting just a short time ago.

The boy almost didn't see them coming over, and could hardly hear them when they talked to him. He knew they asked why he had saved them, and answered that he needed help to pull the pole out. One of them grabbed a hold of his shoulders, while the other one got a hold on the pole.

The boy told them to pull, told them he was ready, but in the moment they pulled, he noticed that he wasn't. He couldn't move his arms at all. Not the real and not the automail. He didn't have the strength to do it. Didn't have the strength to move at all.

He could feel his blood leave him faster than before, and he knew it wouldn't take too long before he was empty.

The two chimeras shouted something, but their voices were too far away from him to catch what they were saying.

If only he could sleep. . .

Al. . . I'm sorry I never got your body back.

Winry. . . I never got to tell you. . . His world went black and the boy knew no more.

The two chimeras stared in shock as the boy that had saved them went limp in front of them. He has said he could fix his wound, but when they had done as he said and pulled the pole out, he hadn't moved his hands to clap them together, just moved a finger or so.

Something had gone wrong.

The one nearest the boy leaned down and held a hand in front of the boy's mouth, hoping to find air going in and out.

When he didn't find anything, he tried to find the boy's pulse.

Nothing.

Not even the boy's heart was beating.

They knew it was too late.

The big suit of armor felt into the deep snow. Winry turned around when she heard the sound of something heavy falling onto the snow.

The girl had run over to her friend even before the others understood what had happened.

The helmet had fallen off; making the seal inside it visible for everyone, except, it wasn't there anymore. It was like it had been deleted completely.

Winry sank to her knees. For some reason, she understood what had happened. She had been there when they talked about the link between the two brothers. And if Edward ate and slept for Alphonse, it was also clear that if Edward died, Alphonse would too. Because of the link.

The girl wanted to cry for the loss of one of her best friends and the boy she loved. But no matter how long they pressed to fall down her cheeks, she held them back.

After all, he had promised her that the next time she would cry it would be tears of happiness.
