Summary: Ed finds a way to change Al back into a human…sort of. They have the circle set up, and yup, you guessed it. Something went wrong.
Setting: Anywhen you want, Hughes is alive, Scar's still evil and killing state alchemists, manga-verse.
A/N- I know Scar is a little OOC in this chapter. Deal with it.
Changing
We set up the transmutation circle in an empty field, reminiscent of our hometown, Risembool. It was big, flat, and empty of everything except us and the crickets, serenading us with their summer songs.
I sat Al and the small, black kitten in their respective places in the circle. I took a breath, and ran over my reasoning, making certain it was flawless. I raised my hands to start the transformation, and stopped.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?" Al asked expectantly. I shook my head. I must've been imagining things. But something was different, something had changed a peaceful summer night into something eerie. Something to be feared. I inhaled, raising my hands to change my only little brother into a chimera. I froze. Scar, notorious state alchemist killer, had Al.
"Do as I say, and there will be no need to harm your 'experiment'."
"Damn you Scar, that's my little brother!"
"Experimenting on your brother were you? My, my, the military will do anything these days. So, how should I punish you for your sins?" he mused.
"Don't hurt him, and I'll do anything you want!" I cried desperately. (A/N- except that, you perverts!)
"Anything, hmmm? Fine. Come into the circle. This time you can be the lab rat. Alter anything, and you'll be seeing your brother in hell sooner than you think." I followed his instructions carefully. It wasn't like I had any choice. I couldn't let that bastard hurt Al.
"You have one minute to pray for forgiveness."
"Sorry. I don't believe in higher powers." My tone and posture saying I was anything but sorry.
"Then prepare to die!" He clapped his hand together, releasing the power of alchemy in a way only a select few could, and a surge of pain and power engulfed me. I relished the feeling, thinking it was the last thing I would ever know. I saw my mother's face, smiling through the darkness. After that I lost consciousness, battered by waves of alchemy.
Okay, I put up another chappie. I'm almost finished writing the next one, so I should be posting pretty soon. Now all you have to do is press that little green button, and send me a nice long review. I don't care if you absolutely hate this story. Tell me what I did wrong, and I'll try to make it better. Try, try, try again. Then give me pie.
