Ruki's POV
Seeing Ling for the first time in a year was good, I guess. He was paying more attention to Ed, since he was so short and Ling was so... Tall. I just watched as they bickered and argued as we were going to the train station to Central.
"Ruki, tell him I am not short!" Ed growled. Ling snickered when I saw it. Purple eyes. That meant he wasn't the Ling Yao I remembered. A homunculus. I glared. "Ed, step back. That is a homunculus." The imposter Ling looked at me with a grin. "Now, how could you guess? You know, knowin' stuff like that is gonna get you killed." As Ed and I stepped back, he took a step closer. "This is still Ling's body, but this isn't Ling right now. I am Greed," he paused. "You are Ruki, and Edward. Mustang and Elric."
"Yeah, so?" Ed looked angrier than usual. Greed sighed. "The way you two are responding...You'll have to pay."
I saw him race towards us, then it was black.
Nothingness, except for a light maniacal laugh.
I awoke in a hospital bed, my father by my side, Ed in the hospital bed next to me, with many IVs in his wrists. Ed looked as if he ran out infront of the train we were supposed to board. "Is.. Ed okay?"
"Ed? We had to use Shock Therapy on you and you are concerned for Fullmetal?" I nodded at my father. He sighed, and the doctor walked in, a redheaded, tall, beautiful female that was always kind.
"Dr. Tai...Will they be okay?
"Well...Let me get out my booklet." The graceful redhead pulled her notebook out that had our status in it.
"Well?" Dad seemed eager.
"This is bad. This is really bad."
"What is it, Doctor?" Tai looked at her notebook, and pushed her glasses up.
