THE NEXT DAY AT THE HOSPITAL
"Don't worry, you will be able to walk if you rest. Your legs are just overly fatigue. Honestly, kids this day. Just what did you do to overly fatigue your legs?" -Doctor
You're very relieved to hear what the doctor says.
"I run almost 6 km at my top speed." -You
"You may be young but do not over exert you're body, ok? For now, you will need to use crutches so you can walk alone. Take good care of yourself." -Doctor
"Yes, thank you so much doctor." -You
You grabbed the crutches and started to walk to the room where Havoc and Colonel was admitted.
You arrived at the door to hear the Colonel scolding Lieutenant Hawkeye. Colonel was angry because Lieutenant believes what the homunculus said that he is dead but the Colonel said he still trust Lieutenant to guard his back. You feel jealous to the Lieutenant. Jealous of the pure trust that the Colonel was giving her. Jealous of the fact that the Lieutenant is the one perfect for the Colonel. Not you. A child. A coward who can't do anything.
"Why am I in the same room as you? Aren't hospital rooms supposed to be singles with beautiful nurses?" -Roy
That stupid womanizer. You thought. I violently open the door and all the looks were towards you.
"So that it'll be easier to guard the both of you. You stupid Colonel." -You
You had a big scowl on your face because of your jealousy and the Colonel's stupidity.
"That's the third time you call me stupid! Wait? Why are you in crutches?" -Roy
You talk with a mocking tone and didn't even look to him while you walk towards Havoc.
"Because some stupid Colonel didn't offer me a ride in his car so I have to follow a fast vehicle by running. Hmmm what? Almost 6 km by my top speed." -You
"It's because you were throwing tantrums." -Roy
You ignored what he said and sit beside Havoc.
"But there is something worrying me. Why haven't they come to kill us?" -Roy
"Don't go find some trouble again Colonel." -You
"I know that. Ah! You have something to tell me right?" -Roy
You got flustered remembering how you acted last night.
"Ah that! I'll just tell you after you get out of the hospital. Ara? Aren't you hungry? I'll go buy some fruits for you."
You quickly stand up and get out of the room. Why does he have to be so insensitive? You thought
You get out of the hospital and went to buy some fruits but it's not as easy as it seems. Since you're not used in using crutches you stumbled a lot of times while buying. The sun is starting to set when you got back in the hospital. You met the Elric Brothers along the way. They asked you why you are in crutches and explain it to them.
When you arrived at the hospital's door you heard Havoc's voice.
"Oh yeah, about that. I won't be able to participate. I can't... feel my legs. I'm sorry. Looks like an early retirement for me." -Havoc
You stopped moving. You dropped all the fruits that you bought making a loud thump sound. All the attention was on the door and Lieutenant quickly opened the door to see if there was an enemy. They didn't see an enemy but they saw you with eyes that are getting watery.
"It's my fault right? That Jean is paralyzed. It's because I used alchemy that I'm not expert of." -You
"It's not your fault." -Roy softly said
You walk fast to Havoc almost running which made you stumbled.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Are the words you keep saying while crying and crawling towards Havoc's bed. Breda tried to help you but you didn't accept it. Finally, you managed to get in Havoc's bed and keep on apologizing.
"I'm sorry Jean." -You
Havoc patted you on the head and smiled to you.
"It's not your fault (y/n). My spinal cord was damaged because of the homunculus that stabs me. In fact, the doctor said that it's a miracle I survived. It's because you saved me. " -Havoc
"I'm sorry for being useless." -You
You continued to cry until you fell asleep beside Havoc. You woke up to see that only you and Havoc are in the room.
"Oh? Did I wake you?" -Havoc
"Jean..." -You
"I told you, it's not your fault. I won't be happy if you keep blaming yourself." -Havoc
"Jean, I promise you. I'll study more about medical alchemy and I will heal you. So... wait for me." -You
"That's reassuring, for a pretty girl like you, of course I will." -Havoc
"Then I'll start researching it!" -You
You stand up and walk out of the room. You can walk on your own now. You met the Colonel and Lieutenant on the lobby.
"Colonel! Is it possible for me to extend my vacation?" -You
"Why?" -Roy
"I'll study more of medical alchemy. I'll heal 2nd Lieutenant Havoc's spinal cord." -You
"How long?" -Roy
"For now, please give me a week. I can't finish it in that time but I will still continue to." -You
"Granted."
You spent all seven days researching about Havoc's condition without contacting the Colonel and the others except for one person. You were able to find some clue but still not enough. You settled with the idea that you need to travel to Xing. You were heading to the door when suddenly there's a knock on it.
TIME
You were now in some room in the headquarters. You were shocked about the notice that the Fuhrer President wants to adopt you. It was very suspicious that the Fuhrer suddenly wants to adopt you. You remembered what the Colonel said before. "Something is greater within this." You were about to refuse but you thought of the possibilities and opportunities you can get by getting adopted by the Fuhrer. Without consulting to the Colonel, you agreed even though you knew that you were more prone to danger assuming that the Fuhrer is one of the enemies. All you can think is that you promised Havoc that you will heal him and you want to be useful to the Colonel.
"Ice Princess Alchemist." -King Bradley
"Sir!" -You saluted to him.
"I'm glad you are willing to accept my offer." -King Bradley
"Can I ask something sir?" -You
"You don't have to be so formal. Yes, ask whatever you want." -King Bradley
"Why me?" -You
"The truth is I can't have children. My wife and I adopted Selim because of that. Another is I really want to have a daughter. I'm the kind of old man who wants a cute daughter." -King Bradley
"I'm sorry sir but I'm not the type who acts cute in front of her parents." -You
He laughed. The Fuhrer laughed like a good old man.
"I know, that's why I chose you. Selim is still young and someday he will be the next Fuhrer and I think that you are suitable to be his Sister. After all, you are the best student of my academy. He is also quite fond of the Ice Princess Alchemist. I can't be a good father like Maes Hughes but I can assure you safety and protection a parent want they child to have." -King Bradley
"I'm very honored Sir. This is an opportunity everyone wants to have but I'm sorry for this. There is something I would like to request." -You
"What is it?" -King Bradley
"For a month, please let me travel to Xing. I want to study alchemy there. On my own. There is someone waiting for me to heal him. After that I'll be Selim's sister or the daughter you want me to be." -You
"I really like you, you're the perfect daughter I want to have. I permit it but you will be officially announced as my adoptive daughter today before you leave." -King Bradley
"Yes, Sir!" -You
"You can call me father." -King Bradley
"Father." -You
"Wear the dress in the table, there is a changing room there and wait for someone to get you." -King Bradley
He leaves the room and you sighed. As you thought, something is really isn't right. That's a suspicious reason to adopt someone. It's a good thing you appeal like someone who wants power that he didn't suspect you. You hope. You also thought that the Colonel will be very very mad at you.
You saw the dress that is in the table and examine it. This is the first time you saw a dress this beautiful. You are not the kind of girl who thinks much about fashion. This is also the first time you'll wear one. Last time, Maes force a dress on you but you didn't wear it because there are too much ruffles.
After you wore the dress there was someone who knocked at the door. You opened it and saw two beautiful ladies. The taller one suddenly grabbed you and put you in the chair. The shorter one put make-up on your face and the other fix your hair. You protest at first but they told you that as the Fuhrer's daughter you need to be the best girl because all young girls will look up into you. "What a pain." You thought. After an hour, a man knocked on the door and asked for you. Before following him, you took a quick glance on the big mirror on the room. You stared at the mirror, moving your hands checking if you are really the reflection on it. You almost didn't recognized yourself. You looked like a doll. While in awe, the man asked you to follow him. You heard the Colonel's voice in the room you are approaching.
"Either way, because of my ambition, I won't be able to take off this uniform or get rid of this. For now, at least." -Roy
"What is the Colonel saying? Is he planning to resigned? That's impossible. And most importantly, what is he doing here? I didn't inform him about the adoption. What should I do?" -You thought and panicked.
The man knocked on the door and waited for the Fuhrer's response
"Very well. Before the three of you leave, I have someone I need to introduce to you." -King Bradley
"Introduce someone?" -Roy
"You see, I have a new daughter." -King Bradley
"Daughter? Can it be..." -That was Edward's voice. What are they doing here?
"No she isn't. You may come in." -King
Bradley
The man opened the door and you saw the Fuhrer, Colonel and the Elric Brothers. The brothers looked pale when they saw you but the Colonel doesn't seem to recognize you. You walked past them and stand beside the Fuhrer.
"(y/n)!" -Alphonse
"Umm... Hi Edward, Alphonse. Hi Colonel." -You
The Colonel started to look pale as he heard your name. Is something wrong? You thought.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" -Roy shouted
As you thought, he will be very mad.
"As you see, (y/n) is my daughter now. I sent her the adoption paper last night and she signed it." -King Bradley
You saw Edward, Alphonse and the Colonel having a despair look on their face. Based on their looks, your assumption was correct. The Fuhrer was one of the enemies.
"Maes, what mess did you involve yourself with? This is not just "something greater". It is really greater. If the top man of the country is involved, it is something we shouldn't mess. But we're already involved and I think I just became a hostage. I'm so stupid. I need to show to the three of them that I realized the situation without being noticed by the Fuhrer" -You thought
The Colonel looked at you. Kind of mad, ok he is really mad.
"You signed it? Why didn't you tell me?" -Roy
He looked calmer but his tone was scary and you decided to use this situation. You walk a little forward so the Fuhrer would just see your back.
"Is that really the first thing you will say to me? We didn't saw each other for a week, won't you at least compliment my looks?" -You joked, making him mad.
"Stop joking! I SAID WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" -Roy
"Am I obligated to tell you? You're not my father and I'm not your daughter." -You
While motioning "I", you put your hands on your chest then cross your forefinger and middle finger. That was a sign that both Maes and you made. The Colonel saw it and his expression changed. He looked down, clenching his fists. You hoped he understands what you are trying to say.
"That's not the case here." -Roy
"What do you mean that's not the case here?! Why should I tell you about my decision in life when you, yourself, won't tell me anything!" -You shouted
The Fuhrer, with a little smile on his face, and the Elric brothers, who are worried, are watching you and the Colonel fight.
"I'm just trying to protect you!" -Roy
"PROTECTING ME?! You're not protecting me! You're controlling me! MY LIFE! I've had enough! Just stop interfering in my life!" -You
Okay. That was mean to say. The Colonel looked dejected. Oh, I really hoped he realized it was just an act.
"You all may leave." -King Bradley
You turned your back to them as the Fuhrer ordered them to leave. You heard Edward convincing Colonel to get out.
"Oh. Wait a moment, Alphonse." -King Bradley
You heard a sound of metal being stabbed.
"Umm, is there something..." -Alphonse
"No, you may leave now." -King Bradley
"I'm sorry for the commotion, Si- Father." -You
"I thought that you and Colonel Mustang are in good term?" -King Bradley
"That was when Maes Hughes was alive, but ever since I was transferred under his supervision he started to control my life. Telling me to just this and that. I'm sick of being treated as a child. I'm always being left out. Doing just paper works while them, they're doing great as a team. " -You
After you and the Fuhrer talked, you were introduced in all the Lieutenant Generals. After it, you were introduced in all the people in the Central as the Fuhrer's daughter. You weren't use in this kind of treatment so you feel very awkward and tired.
You were scheduled to leave within a week but before that you were to force to take some lessons about how to become "A Fuhrer's Daughter." Also, you spent the week with the Fuhrer and his family. It was fun being with them, especially with Selim though there were times that you were creeped out with his presence.
You heard that the entire team of the Colonel was assigned to different places. You kind of regret leaving him all alone but you know he will manage. Before you left for Xing, you wrote a letter and placed it in an iced-shaped rose and asked for Lieutenant Hawkeye to give it to the Colonel the next day after you leave.
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.
Colonel Mustang held the ice rose in his hand tightly and fire started to melt the ice. There was a piece of paper on it and he started unrolling it.
"My dear Colonel,
I'm very sorry for making decisions on my own. I just didn't have the time to talk about you regarding the Fuhrer's adoption of me. I knew something was wrong but at first, I didn't think that the Fuhrer was involved. I only realized it when we met at his office that day. I'm also apologizing for what I said that day. Did you saw my hands? You know it was just an act right? If not, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. There is a reason why I accepted the Fuhrer's offer. I can now go to Xing and study Alkahestry there. I know I'm being reckless and now I basically became a hostage but I really want to finish my study there. Please don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. Please take care of yourself too. I'll be back in a month I promise so please wait for me.
-(y/n)"
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.
NIGHT BEFORE THE PROMISED DAY...
Colonel Mustang was staring at some old photograph.
"Little Roy, you looked lifeless than before?" –Madam Christmas
Colonel Mustang just keeps on staring on the old photograph where Selim Bradley can be seen. He was thinking about something else rather than Selim being a homunculus.
It's been two weeks since the news that (y/n) died. He still can't believe it. She died on an unknown illness in Xing and her body was burned there because her body might spread the disease in Amestris. She promised him that she will come back but now she won't. Why did the both of them leave him? That was thought that runs through his mind. Since he heard the news his body suddenly feels heavy and don't want to do anything. But he can't be down at such moment, especially when the Promised day was coming near so he still continue to plan all he had to do despite the fact that he was mourning.
"Is it because of that little girl?" –Madam Christmas
Colonel Mustang manages to give his foster mother a weak smile.
"She would be angry at me if I stayed like this." –Roy
TIME SKIP
"You're late, Colonel. We were about to leave without you." –Breda
"Your jabs make me feel right at home. No signs of being followed?" –Roy
"Nope. If there were, he'd react to them right away." –Riza
Black Hayate barks and Colonel Mustang patted him.
"That's a good boy. I'm counting on you. Any movements from the Bradley family?" –Roy
"I've confirmed their plans for the next three days. The Fuhrer President is attending the joint practice in east. Selim is also with him." –Riza
Colonel Mustang continued to tell them what happen and what their plan is.
"My only order for you all is this: DON'T DIE!" –Roy
"Roger!"
TIME SKIP
While in the pinch of running out of ammos, an ice cream truck past through some soldiers and stop in the front of them. The doors opened and revealed Rebecca with more weapons and ammo. The Colonel was in kind of relief and was very surprised when he saw 2nd Lieutenant Maria Ross helped bring the weapons. Colonel asks Maria why was she is take part in the mission and who procured all the weapon. They manage to escape by using the ice cream truck. They stopped and Fuery connected in some electric post so they can make a call.
"Here it is." –Maria
"Some important person from Xing, perhaps?" –Roy thought
"This is Roy Mustang, a colonel in the state military. I'm terribly grateful for-" –Roy
"What are you acting all polite for? Come on, Colonel. Just chat like we always used to." –the man on line
"Havoc!" –Roy
"So? Where's the money?" –Havoc
"I'll pay up after I'm successful. Keep it on my tab" –Roy
"No, I'll go get it to you. HAHAHA!" –Havoc
"What do you mean?" –Roy
"I was—OUCH! Hey! Stopped it!" –Havoc
"Havoc! What's wrong?" –Roy
"Ah! Nothing, my cat is starting a tantrum." –Havoc
"I never thought you'll have a cat?" –Roy
"Things change Colonel! Now get your ass moving, bye!" –Havoc
Colonel Mustang has a smile on his face. He was very happy that Havoc was not depressed and helped too.
MEANWHILE...
"What was that for?!" –Havoc
"You weren't supposed to tell that were coming right?!"
A girl with bandages in her arms hit Havoc again.
"That hurts! Really, did you heal me just to hurt me? (y/n)!" –Havoc
"Of course not! I healed you so you can be my slave." –(y/n)
"That's not cute at all!" –Havoc
"Jean, shut up! Let's hurry, the eclipse will start soon." –(y/n)
YOUR P.O.V.
The both of you just arrived at the Central. You and Jean run towards the vehicle that was prepared for you.
"Now, where should we go?" –Havoc
"Drop me off the Research Laboratory 3 and you go to the radio station where Madam Bradley no Mother is." –You
"Hey! Hey! I'm not letting you go alone there." –Havoc
"You don't need to worry! I'll go straight to where the Colonel is." –You
"But how can you find him?" –Havoc
You snickered.
"Jean, I didn't study Alkehestry for nothing. I can read the earth's flow now. I can find him. I'm sure of it." –You
"Earth's flow, or you could say, the power of love." –Havoc
"Oh Jean! Just shut up and step on the gas okay!" –You
"Yes Ma'am!" –Havoc
"How will the Colonel react when he will see me? I hope he doesn't get too mad at me." –You thought
Two weeks ago, you faked your death. With the help of the people, who helped you study Alkehestry, you managed to fool everyone. The first day you arrived at Xing you started studying it and completed it for just two weeks. In those two weeks, Edward was also giving you information about what's happening and such. You learned that the Fuhrer was a homunculus and the military are planning to use all the people of Amestris in making a Philosopher stone. You also learned that they are planning to do that in the day of the Solar Eclipse. Being the Fuhrer's daughter puts you to a lot of restriction in Xing that's why you decided to faked your death. After "your death", you travelled to where Jean's province so you can heal him. He was very shocked to see you alive and was excited to tell to the Colonel that you are alive but you stopped him. You want to say it yourself. Jean didn't question you anymore. The next day you started to perform the Alchemy you studied and it was a success. It took 2 days for Jean to completely walk. In the remaining days you have, you helped Jean get some weapon from Xing also with the help of Maria Ross. After securing all the weapons, you and Jean travelled back to the Central.
"Here we are, be careful okay?" –Havoc
"I know, you too." –You
You run towards the building and trying to find the Colonel by reading the earth's flow. You arrived in a white room with a lot of ashes. Confirmed. The Colonel was here. You run towards the opened door and follow where the flow was leading you.
You saw the Colonel's back. You were excited to run to where he is. He noticed a presence behind him and quickly looked around. You saw his face. It was very scary, a face full of vengeance. His face looked scarier when he saw you. Okay, he was angry.
"Colo-" –You
You were cut off when he suddenly ignited a flame directed at you. You quickly dodged it barely burning the ends of your hair.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT COLONEL?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" –You shouted at him
"SHUT UP! (y/n) IS DEAD! I told you Envy, what you're doing is just putting an oil into the flame!" –Roy
Not having the time to reply, he run towards you and pinned you on the floor. Strangling you. You started coughing as he strangled you. His eyes were full of hatred and that hatred is eating him away. You need to make him believe that your real or he will kill you.
"Co..lonel, i-it's me. (y/n)." –You
"(y/n) died!" –Roy
You hold the hand that was strangling you.
"Believe me." –You
"SHUT UP!" –Roy
You were starting to lose air and your consciousness is starting to drift away. You quickly need to do something. You removed your hand from his and reach his neck. You pulled him in a hug.
"I'm sorry for not telling you that I'm still alive. You miss me too much that it hurts you know." –You joke calmly
His hands loosen the grip on your neck and not believing what he just heard. The both of you heard a lot of gunshot and a pained voice from Lieutenant Hawkeye.
"Lieutenant!" –Roy
The Colonel quickly stands up and run towards where the gunshot was heard leaving you.
"Ouch. That hurts Colonel." –You
Well you can't blame him. It was you who deceived him and Lieutenant seems to be in danger. But it hurts you a lot, more than when the Colonel was strangling you. You heard footsteps running toward you.
"(y/n)? What are you doing here and what happened to you?" –Edward
Edward helped you to stand up.
"You know I just couldn't still and do nothing. The Colonel mistook me from Envy and almost killed me." –You
"That's why I told you to let the Colonel know that you're still alive!" –Edward
"It's all in the past now, okay? We need to get to him now. If he killed Envy, he will be corrupted." –You
"Can you walk?" –Edward
"A little bit." –You
"Let's go. I'll carry you." –Edward
"If you carry me, we will be slowed down." –You
"Are you trying to say that I'm short?!" –Edward
You hugged Edward while laughing.
"I miss you all. Really." –You
"(y/n)..." –Edward
"Mister, I know it's rude to say this and it's just the first time we met but could you carry me on your back?" –You
You asked the tall man with a huge scar on his face.
"Yeah." –Scar
"Thanks." –You
The three of you saw the Colonel stepping on a little animal and the Lieutenant pointing a gun on the Colonel. You asked the scarred man to let you down and hide behind his back. You were scared to see the Colonel as he is now. You heard them argue and stayed silent. You can't blame Colonel because you too were eaten by hatred before. But you can't stay scared facing him.
"Shoot me if you want. But what will you do after you kill me?" –Roy
"I don't plan on living free and easy. After this battle is over, I plan on taking flame alchemy, an art that brings about madness, to the grave along with my body." –Riza
The Colonel lets out his frustration by igniting a fire beside him.
"That won't do. I... can't lose you." –Roy
Those words deafened you. You feel like there are lots of needle in your heart. Well it can't be helped, you expected it. You were always a child in his eyes. Now isn't the time for you think about it, you were in the middle of war. You need to get your priorities straight but the pain in your heart won't just disappear. Tears starting to form in your eyes.
"I made you go through something dreadful again. I'm sorry." –Roy
There it is. The tears fell into your eyes. After a moment of silence, Envy started to provoke everyone but ended killing himself. You tried to stop your tears but it won't just stop. You considered running away but you can't run right now. It may be a coward act but you can't face him right now. Not with this feelings.
"That's right! (y/n)! I saw her here! She's still alive! Did you see her?" –Roy
"She's he-" –Edward
He was cut off by the spark you made when you performed alchemy on yourself. The one you used when you faked your death though it was improvised a little. You put yourself in the state of comatose for a couple of minutes. You still can hear the voices in your surroundings.
"What happened to her?" –Roy
"Did you forget that you almost killed her?!" –Edward
"I-I thought she was Envy..." –Roy
Guilt can be sensed all over his voice.
"We can't stay here, let's walk while you talk." –Scar
"Hey! Why are you carrying her! Give her to me." –Roy
"She asked me to carry her. I won't take orders from you." –Scar
They have a staring contest is what you're thinking. They started walking.
"Fullmetal, did you know that she's still alive?" –Roy
"Yes." –Edward
"Why didn't you tell me?" –Roy
"Because she doesn't want you to know. She said, "I want to help you and the Colonel but I can't do it freely so I need to fake my death. I know this would make damage to him but I know he can overcome it. If he knows about this plan I would just spoiled the plan he already made. I trust him so let's leave it like this. I'll just take my punishment from him when we met." –Edward
"She's too reckless." –Roy
TIME SKIP...
You fell asleep and when you regained your consciousness you saw a scene that brings horror to you. The Colonel was being held by two men and the Lieutenant was lying with a big wound on her throat.
"There's no need for you to performed human transmutation." –Riza
"Lieutenant Hawkeye!" –You
You run towards her only to be pinned to the wall by a sword on your right shoulder. You screamed in pain.
"(y/n)!" –Roy
"There's no time Mustang, she will die. You'll do it, won't you, Mustang?" –Gold toothed doctor
"Don't do it Colonel!" –You shouted
"Fine I'll do it. I'll do as both of you say, Lieutenant, (y/n). I will not perform human transmutation." –Roy
You felt presence from above 2 no 4 persons. The gold-toothed doctor disappeared and 3 people came down distracting the enemies. The Colonel quickly runs towards Lieutenant. You tried to take off the sword from your shoulder but it was stock on the wall. You need to save Lieutenant now. You can't take off the sword.
"Lieutenant! Open your eyes!" –Roy
"Fuck! Why can't I take it off!" –You
You saw a little girl perform alchemy on the Lieutenant, stopping the blood flowing out from her wounds. You looked away. The Colonel hugged her. You slapped yourself. There's no time for you to be like this. They finished all the enemy and it hurts you that no one notices that you are still pinned on the wall.
You feel a presence coming towards you, presence of a homunculus. You saw the Fuhrer coming towards you. So he was really a homunculus. He pulled the sword from your shoulder making you scream in pain.
All the attention was towards you and the Fuhrer.
"(y/n)!" –Roy
He was about to run to you but the Fuhrer stopped him.
"King Bradley." –Roy
"Long time no see, Mustang." –King Bradley
"Father..." –You
"I thought faked your death so you can escape. What are you doing here, my daughter?" –King Bradley
"You knew?" –You
"Humans really are a pathetic creature." –King Bradley
He picked you up to the neck strangling you and throwing you on the wall.
"Bastard! What did you do?!" –Roy
You tried your best not to lose consciousness. Colonel and the Fuhrer started fighting. While they are distracted you healed yourself.
"Colonel Mustang, you're the fifth sacrifice." –Selim
"Selim! You're a homunculus too?" –You
"Onee-chan, I didn't know you would still be alive. I miss you." –Selim
"Stop joking Selim! What are you doing to the Colonel?" –You
"We are forcing him to do human transmutation. Actually you were one of the choices as the sacrifice. But we thought you died and decided to settle with Colonel Mustang. I've secured him. Step aside, Wrath." –Selim
"Well, I'm curious as to what they're going to take from you." –King Bradley
"Stop it!" –You
You quickly run towards the transmutation circle and sliced the shadow, using the ice sword you transmuted, to free the Colonel. You pushed him aside using your ice and pinned him to the floor, one meter way from the circle.
"(y/n)! NO!" –Roy
Selim's shadow pinned you inside the circle and activated the transmutation. You screamed in pain and your body started decomposing.
"(y/n)! Why?!" –Roy
"I'm sorry for being reckless. I won't die, I promise. But you know I'm kind of hurt because you're asking me why. Colonel, it's because I want to protect you..." –You
Your head is the only part that hasn't decomposed yet.
"No... It's because I really love y-" –You
The Colonel disappeared on your sight and it was changed into a white room with a large gate.
"Where am I?" –You
"Yo."
You saw a white guy with black shadow.
"Who are you? What am I doing here?" –You
"I'm an existence that you folks like to call the "world". In other words, the universe. In other words, God. In other words, the "Truth". In other words, entirely. In other words, "one". And, I'm YOU."
"You are the Truth guy Edward was talking about." –You
The gate behind you suddenly opened.
"Oh? You're quite informed, Miss. Now, are you ready?" –Truth
Hands started to grab you towards the gate with a big eye.
"WAIT! STOP IT!"
The last thing you saw was a creepy grin from the Truth guy.
YOUR P.O.V.
"(y/n)! (y/n)! Wake up!"
"She is the fifth sacrifice, Father."
"I was expecting it to be Colonel Mustang but she will do anyway. I would like to say we've gathered all five but, Alphonse Elric has yet to come over to this side."
"Are you okay, (y/n)?"
You opened your eyes and saw Edward.
"Edward? Where are we?" -You
"Where with the big cheese now. What in the world happen, (y/n)?" -Edward
"I was thrown in front of a large gate in some white room..." -You
"Gate?! Don't tell me they took something from you?! But you still have all your limbs..." -Edward
"I don't know... I can't remember anything." -You
"You performed human transmutation...?" -Edward
"Edward, do you really think I'd do something like that?" -You
"We forcefully had her open the gate. The truth is she isn't supposed to be the sacrifice, but she got in the way trying to save Colonel Mustang. But the result is all that matters." -Selim
"I did... what?" -You whispered
You tried to remember but you're mind is blank at the moment.
You heard the creepy looking guy with eyes all over his body talked about how the truth is cruel and how he would take things that are very important to you. Edward retorted what he said and asked how that being fair is. After some minutes, there was a large explosion and a little girl and a little panda came down from the ceiling. Seems like Edward knows the little girl and she is calling Alphonse's name frantically. Looks like it worked because Alphonse woke up. Suddenly your head hurts making you fall down and an older woman supported you. As you've remember, Alphonse called this woman "Master" so she must be their teacher.
"Are you okay, Miss?" -Izumi
"Yes, just my head, it hurts a little." -You
You lied. It doesn't hurt a little. It hurts a lot that you felt like your head is splitting in two. You felt that something is missing from you but you can't figure it out.
"Just rest here, don't worry I'll protect you." -Izumi
"Sorry for being a burden." -You
She just gave you a warm smile, like a mother's would give to their child.
The little girl, May, started attacking "father" and Edward with Selim. May miserably failed with attacking "father" and ended up with nearly fatal wounds. She was about to get shot but Alphonse protected her. Edward continued to attack Selim and you think the Edward's having the upper hand. Alphonse started to attack "father" and the Elric's master attacked too but all of it was wasted effort because it doesn't hurt him at all. "Father's" hands grabbed the four of you and positioned you in different directions. He was about to start the transmutation when Ling suddenly appeared and attacked him. Ling or what they called him Greed doesn't hurt him at all and all of you were dragged near a throne. The transmutation started and you started to shivers. Everything went black but you can still feel the fear that was eating you and you lost your consciousness.
"Miss, are you okay? Wake up!"
You opened your eyes and saw the Elric's Master.
"Good. Can you stand up?" -Izumi
You simply nodded to her question.
"What happened?" -You
"I'll make it short, that guy, Homunculus, failed due to Hohenheim's alchemy but right now he is above trying to make a Philosopher Stone. We need to stop him. Can you fight?" -Izumi
"Yes, Ma'am." -You
"Call me Izumi." -Izumi
"Okay, Izumi-san. I'm (y/n)" -You
"Let's go, Al. Don't die, Ed!" -Izumi
"Wait, we're leaving Edward here?" -You
"He can take care of himself. Now let's go." -Izumi
"Okay. Be careful Edward!" -You
Izumi transmuted the ground into a big hand so the three of you will go up. She suddenly stops when she saw a guy she called "Dear". There were other people on that floor, some you recognized and some you don't. Izumi didn't waste any time and we started ascending to the top. You heard a voice called your name. You looked back but didn't recognize the voice who called you. Probably you heard it wrong is what you thought.
All of you arrived at the top and saw the Homunculus trying to make philosopher's stone. Edward's father is arguing with the Homunculus on how he just an obstacle in the cycle of life. The Homunculus just blurted out that he will gave birth to human beings and people started accumulating from his body.
"Okay, that's creepy." -You blurted out.
You notice a presence behind you and saw Edward and suddenly there was a flash of light or so you thought but there was a large explosion. Not again you thought.
You wake up with a pain on your right leg. A large rock was crushing your right leg. Realization hitting you, you suddenly felt a burning sensation on your leg. You tried lifting the rock but it didn't move at all.
"Think!" -You
The memory of the gate flashed through your brain.
"Maybe..." -You
You clapped your hand and put it the rock and it deconstruct.
"Ohhh, this clapping thing is amazing." -You
You've checked your injury and found out that your bone was crushed.
"Arhhh, this gotta hurts." -You
You removed the bandages in your arms revealing tattoos all over it.
"Need to fix the bones first." -You
The tattoos on your arms glowed and the bones started fixing itself. You continued healing yourself as the flesh starting to healed. You let a pained sound escaped from your mouth but it's all worth it because your leg was now fine. You looked around and notice that you were a little far away from Izumi and Edward's location. Edward called for you and you said that you're fine. Apparently, Edward's father protected the three of you from the attack.
"Hohenheim!" -Edward
The Homunculus attacked Edward's father and looked at us. His finger light up with a red spark and suddenly you felt being strangled but soon disappeared after a gunshot. Soldiers started entering and you were helped by one of them to the stand up and run. They started attacking Homunculus by using fire arms.
"It's not working!" -You
"Attacks like these won't even scratch him!" -Edward
"You're kidding me!" -Soldier 1
They continued firing at him but still it doesn't seem to faze him.
"Cease fire! Duck!" -Soldier 2
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.
Everyone heard a snap from a finger and fire started to engulf Homunculus. Everyone, including (y/n), looked at the direction the fire came from and saw Colonel Mustang and Major Armstrong.
"Tsk. Just a grazed." -Roy
Mustang shot another flame to the Homunculus but it just returned the attack. (Y/n) run nearer to the location of the two men and clapped her hands and transmuted the ground to protect them.
Mustang saw (y/n) and smiled at her, relieved that she was fine.
"Thanks." -Roy
(Y/n) gave him a confused-look and deconstructed the shield.
"Don't give him the chance to counterattack! Keep making him use up his philosopher's stone!" -Armstrong
Everyone continues to attack simultaneously but still the Homunculus is not faze at all.
"We need to do something about that barrier!" -Armstrong
"Futile acts. Mere humans can hardly lay a finger on me." -Homunculus
"If humans can't, what about a homunculus?!" -Greed
Greed punch Homunculus but he just absorbed the philosopher's stone in Greed. Greed shouted in pain.
"Just kidding! You can't take my philosopher's stone without putting your barrier down, right? Did you not consider the possibility that you'd have the power of God taken from you instead? I'll take it all!" -Greed
With Greed stuck with the Homunculus, everyone started to attacked, Edward, Armstrong, Izumi then (y/n), but all of it was blocked. They tried to attack simultaneously but were sent flying by a powerful force from the Homunculus. Edward's right arm shattered but still continued to attack as well as the others. Edward kicked him but to be blocked but this time not the barrier but by his arm.
"He's at his limit! He can no longer hold down God!" -Hohenheim
The Homunculus started to lose control and shouted in pain. Red sparks were emitting from his body as well as black smoke-liked from his mouth and there was a large explosion. When the dust subsided, Homunculus was on his knees, black smoke-liked still emitting from his body and his face looks older than before.
He was looking for a philosopher's stone and saw Edward nearby. Edward's left hand was impaled by a metal rod in the crushed wall.
"Run, Edward!" -Hohenheim
"Brother! Run! Brother!" -Alphonse
Alphonse beg someone to save his brother, but realized something and ask May for help.
(Y/n) started running towards Homunculus and tried to stop him but was thrown away. She was about to use alchemy when five knife-like objects was thrown near Edward's shoulder.
"What are you trying to do...? Cut it out... Hey... Al!" -Edward
"Win this, Brother." -Alphonse
"Don't do it!!!!" -Edward
Alphonse transmuted himself and his blood seal glowed. Edward's right arm was back.
"You idiot!!" -Edward
Edward started to attack the Homunculus continuously without stopping. Unlike before, his attacks were absolutely working now. Everyone who was watching was cheering for Edward as he punched him non-stop.
"Stand up, third rate! I'll show you the difference in our skill!" -Edward
When the Homunculus was finally down, red sparks emit around him, his stomach was bloated and an eye can be seen inside his mouth. A powerful force like before is emitted from the Homunculus and he suddenly stabbed Greed in the stomach.
"Give me your Philosopher's Stone!" -Homunculus
"Come Lan Fan!" -Greed
Lan Fan cut the hand of the homunculus that was connected to Ling's body.
"Greed!" -Ling
After absorbing Greed, the Homunculus's body was turning into charcoal. With Greed's final help, Edward was able to defeat the Homunculus.
With the enemy gone, everyone was starting feel the relief but everyone's attention was in Edward's and Alphonse's armor suit. Ling offers the philosopher's stone to Edward so he can get Alphonse back but refuse. Also, Hohenheim offer himself but of course, Edward refused. After some time thinking, Edward smiled and started drawing a transmutation circle.
"I'll be right back!" -Edward
"Wait! Edward, what do you think you're doing?" -(Y/n)
(y/n) who was a little far away from Edward was started walking towards him.
"Don't worry, I'll bring Al back." -Edward
"You better come back too." -(Y/n)
"Of course! This is the last transmutation that the Fullmetal Alchemist will ever do." -Edward
After Edward's transmutation, everyone was silent. Dumbfounded as to what the Fullmetal was thinking. Others started to tend those who are injured.
(y/n) started to heal those who were fatally wounded but being injured herself and uses too much alchemy she fainted.
TIME SKIP...
Edward successfully took Alphonse out of the gate and they are here now at the hospital. Alphonse is admitted due to malnourishment. (Y/n) is still unconscious and was admitted in the same room with Alphonse. Edward, Colonel Mustang, Jean, Riza and Fuery was also in the room.
"Al, eat this too!" -Edward
"Brother, I can't eat that much in an instant. I'll eat it later." -Alphonse
"Fullmetal, stop acting like a child having a new pet to feed." -Roy
"Bastard! Why are you even here! If you want, you can get out!" -Edward
"I'm waiting for (y/n) to wake up. Fullmetal, what was taken from her?" -Roy
"All her limbs where there, she doesn't seem missing any organs too. I don't know what was taken from her maybe we'll know once she woke up." -Edward
"Why hasn't she awake yet?" -Roy
"It's just have been 12 hours since she passed out, she'll wake up soon." -Riza
"Relax Colonel! No need to be nervous." -Havoc
"Hey! With all the commotion, I forgot to ask you! Why are you here and walking?" -Roy
"(Y/n) healed me two weeks ago and we came here to help of course!" -Havoc
"You know she's alive yet you didn't tell me!" -Roy
"Easy Colonel, I owe her a favor and she asked me not to tell so I didn't. Ohhh, she's awake!" -Havoc
(Y/n) opened her eyes finding familiarity with the place. Havoc helped her sit down.
Mustang quickly hugged (y/n) not bothering who were there watching. (Y/n) was surprised from the sudden movement from the man.
"Why are you so reckless?! Always doing things without considering my feelings! Don't you know how much I was worried?!" -Roy
Confused look is the only thing that can be seen in (y/n)'s face. She gently pushed the man that was hugging him gaining also a confused look from the others.
"Who are you, Mister?"
TBC...
