AN: Okay here's the third chapter and I really hope it helps with the confusion. I thought this story was a good idea but mabye that was only in my head. If people still don't like it I will prob just quit. Until then enjoy :)

Roy and the others could only watch as their friends/co workers had been dragged away. They were being taken to Furnace and they were framed no less! How could the higher ups not notice that? He hated looking at Riza when they took her. He could see fear in her eyes and Havoc's too. They were brave enough not to show it even though that could have been the last time they saw each other ever again.

"Hughes! What do we do?! How can we help them!?" Maes had fallen to his knees and was mumbling something but he couldn't understand him. Maes looked up at Roy.

"We can't do anything. Their fate has been determined." He looked as if he was about to cry.

"What do you mean?! They were framed! There has to be something we can do. How can the higher ups not see that?" Roy sank to his knees and let his head fall into his hands.

"I'm sorry Roy but the only thing we can do is get you to the top faster. If they can survive that long you can destroy Furnace for good and clear their names." Maes got up and walked towards the others. He could see that Feury was crying and Falman stared into space while Breda looked mad. He could tell he was fighting the tears.

"Hughes I have to go inform Rebecca. She is Hawkeye's best friend." Roy got up and slowly walked to the door.

'So this is what that bad feeling had been about all day.' He found Rebecca with Winry chatting and smiling.

'They won't be smiling for long.' They noticed the look on his face and lost their smiles.

"Did something happen to Ed?!" He shook his head no and Winry felt relieved to hear that Ed was still alive.

"I think you two should sit down."

"You look as if you could to Mustang." Rebecca always tried to lighten the mood but it didn't work this time. They all took a seat and Rebecca gasped in horror. Winry still didn't know much about the place so she didn't really understand the panic.

"Please tell me this is some sick joke Mustang. They can't just take Riza and Jean like that!" Rebecca was letting her tears fall as she let the news of her two best friends being taken sink in.

"I'm sorry but it's not. They dragged them away to a life in Furnace." His fists clenched as he said the last part.

"Rebecca, I promised both of them, mainly Riza that I would make it to the top. Now I have to get there faster. Will you help me? No do it for Havoc and Hawkeye." He had to say the last part because he knew that Rebecca didn't really like him.

"I'll help you BUT only because Riza needs me to and Havoc would like it if I helped too." She looked at the wall in front of her.

"Thank you Rebecca."

"Hey Mustang if they were framed how did the higher ups not notice? They were victims as well. Why would they shoot themselves? They didn't even have time to pull out a gun. Well Riza could have." Rebecca managed to laugh at imagining her best friend scowling at what she had said. She then removed the look because Riza was now in more danger than ever.

"I don't know but a lot of people hate me and would do anything to get rid of me. That includes taking Hawkeye out of the picture since she is my bodyguard."

"Well then we need a meeting with our allies then and to discuss Furnace." They all got up and walked towards the office again.

…...

It was a long drive to the prison. Havoc was handcuffed while Riza had her one good arm strapped to her side. Neither of them dared to make a noise during the drive.

"Alright were here. Home sweet home for you two." The guard who spoke was now laughing and pushed them out the door. The place looked horrible. There were statues of dead people and others of people in anguish.

"Don't think that this is the worst part. You haven't seen the inside yet." He was laughing again as they made there way to the entrance. When they reached the gate two men came and grabbed their arms. They were very tall and muscular.

"Well take it from here." The man who grabbed Havoc pushed a button and the gate opened. They walked in and the heat hit them. It was hot.

"Well I can't believe we got a girl. There's not many who come here let alone survive." He laughed as the doors opened. They were in a room with showers.

"Strip down, wash, and put on the uniforms to your left. You have five minutes." They were pushed into the room and Havoc was already undressing.

"Hey Hawkeye you alright?"

"Yeah just got to work against the pain in my arm. How's your leg?"

"Well it's hard to walk since they took my crutches." He limped over to Riza and started to help her undress.

"I don't need help Havoc."

"Yeah you do. Don't worry I'm not going to do anything. We have to help each other down here or we will go insane and we need to stay alive for the others." She quit arguing and let him help her. Once they had finished they were pushed towards an elevator.

"Well this elevator will take you down. I hope you two can stand small spaces." They walked in and started their journey down to hell.

…...

"So Colonel you think one of the higher ups framed them?" Feury asked once the meeting began. Winry had found Al and sat by him.

"Yeah. There are a lot of them that hate me."

"But sir how can they be framed if they got shot?" Breda was still very confused.

"Well that's easy. No one suspects a victim right? Well say they did do it, they could shoot each other after hitting Ed." Breda looked at him.

"Yeah I guess that's true but they didn't do it and Ed was shot once. Why would they shoot each other?"

"I know that Breda and maybe to keep each other quiet but it doesn't matter. Did anyone see the way General Raven looked at them when he came in? I think he has something to do with this. "

"That's crazy! He wasn't near us at the meeting."

"Wait a couple of his men were though. In fact they were right behind Hawkeye and Havoc." Hughes said. Everyone looked at him and Rebecca responded next.

"So Raven did this?"

"Looks that way."

"So then what now? Hey Mustang you're the leader here right? What can we do?"

"We go to the top." Roy got up and walked out of the room. He had to find Grumman.

…...

The prison really was hell. The heat was extreme and the elevator ride felt like forever. Riza and Havoc did have a chance to talk though.

"Hey Hawkeye how bad do you think it really is?"

"I don't know Jean but we can't let it break us."

"Soon and were on a first name basis now Riza?" He gave her a halfhearted smile.

"Yeah. Might as well since we're stuck here."

"We didn't kill anyone. Why us and who framed us?"

"No idea but it's probably because Mustang is reaching for the top." Silence hit them as the elevator came to a stop. The doors opened and they could see every face. These people didn't like newcomers especially dogs of the military. One of them came forward.

"Looks like we got fresh meat."

…...

"General you heard the news correct?" Roy was now in General Grumman's office.

"Yes I did Mustang and you better have a plan for saving my sweet granddaughter."

"Well I need to get to the top faster. I don't have a plan b yet sir."

"Well they are tough so they will last awhile but there still human. I will try to help but I can't promise you anything."

"I know and thank you sir. I will save them." With that Roy walked out of his office.

'I will get you guys out of there.' He walked out of HQ and headed towards Riza's apartment. He had to get Hayate.

…...

They were staring at the scene before them. The walls were rock and many of the prisoners looked at them like they were dinner. There were cells going up at least ten stories and looked small.

"Um Riza? I don't think they like us."

"Were dogs of the military. What did you expect?"

"Hey! You damn dogs! You're going to enjoy this place. We run it you're' nothing here so don't try anything." The man was now face to face with Havoc and he spit on him. Havoc was about to punch him when a siren blared. The man walked off without a second glance.

"I really want to kill him." They followed the man since they were new here and didn't know the rules. They were in the middle of the room standing in the back. Some of the guards came in then followed by a man in a suit. Behind them were what looked like men but they had gas masks on.

"Welcome to Furnace dogs. I'm sure your stay will be quite unpleasant here since a lot of these men know who you are. Names don't really matter but I will be watching." He paused and grinned at the guards around him.

"And we have a new lady as well. Enjoy what's left of your pathetic lives. Oh and I'm the warden here I hope that you will never see me in a different situation." He walked into another room and the others followed him leaving the prisoners alone.

"Well now that that's over time to welcome the mutts." The man who came to them earlier walked with four other men towards Riza and Havoc.

"You know who we are don't you?"

"Yeah you're that disgusting gang we arrested five months ago." Havoc really hated these thugs.

"You better watch what you say down here you filthy mutts. Everyone here knows you are Jean Havoc and this little bitch is Riza Hawkeye." Havoc threw himself at the man because of what he called Riza. They were throwing punches and Havoc was thrown to the ground with two of the thugs pounding him. Riza stepped in and twisted the leaders arm behind his back and his other two men yanked her off.

"You can't win down here and everyone knows what a female dog is called." He spit on Havoc again and kicked Riza.

"Stay away from us if you want to live more than a week." They walked away and Riza and Havoc were sitting alone.

"You okay Jean?"

"More or less. My leg feels like hell and now my face is throbbing, How about you?" He was trying to stop the pain in his head.

"Well now my arm and side hurts. Looks like they weren't joking when they said they knew us."

"Well stay together. No one will touch you Riza." Riza stood up and helped Havoc to his feet. Soon two guards came towards them and lead them towards a cell. At least they would be in the same cell.

…...

Roy was now standing in Riza's apartment holding Hayate. He was going to take care of him until Riza got back.

'I know that the Furher wants to retire and live a quiet life with his family. The only problem is no one wants a Colonel to jump up so many ranks and become Furher. Why do they think I'm to young?' He sighed and walked outside and headed home. On his way he saw Breda drinking in a bar with Rebecca.

"Hey you two."

"Hi Mustang."

"Rebecca I didn't know that you liked to drink."

"I do. Me and Riza do some crazy things when were drunk but now she's gone." The pain hit them all again by remembering the fate of their friends.

"I see. Have you heard any news on Ed yet?"

"No."

"He might be able to save them. He was with them when it happened."

"That's true." They all cheered up at the hope of Ed waking up and helping them.

"Excuse me Colonel Mustang? There's a call for you." Roy picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Roy." It was Maes.

"I have bad news. Ed is in a coma and they don't know if he will wake up."
