This is a long one. Sorry if you don't like long ones…

I don't own anything. Sorry for the grammar mistakes. Enjoy.


CH. 3 Remember

"So that's how he showed you," Ling wondered as Dorochet finished his story.

"Yeah. It was so gross. Mainly because I was able to smell all the blood and death," Dorochet said and looked at Lan Fan.

"So that'll help Roa to see again?" he asked.

"Yes, as well as heal your wounds. Now this won't hurt, but it will take some time," the female warrior explained and said to Roa.

The ox chimera gave a nod as the liquid glowed.

"So how did you meet Greed?" Martel asked as the healing process started.

"Like I said, it's a long story," Yao said.

"Well we have time," she added.


The prince sighed and started to explain everything. Why he came to Amestris, how he met the Edward and Alphonse, how they escaped Wrath and were later swallowed by Gluttony. And then he became Greed or Greeling as they called him. He, however, left out the part, that he killed Bido.

All the while he was talking, the chimers sat in silence, only saying an 'Oh'; 'Ouch' or 'Oh man'.

After the liquid stopped glowing, Lan Fan stepped to Roa and asked: "How do you feel?"

The large man sat up on the couch, blinked a few times and finally opened his eyes.

"I feel great, like all the wounds never happened."

"So you can see now?" the dog chimera asked.

Roa gave a nod as the Xing female walked to Dorochet and placed the philosopher's stone on his wound. Like with Roa, it started glowing. But this time it took less time to heal. After the job was done, she moved to Martel and did the same.

After she too was healed, Ling ordered some food from the restaurant. When it arrived, the chimers almost ate the plats.

"My, my, you guys really were hungry…" Fan started as she looked how fast the food vanished.

"So how did you guys become chimeras?" the former Homunculus asked when they were all healed and fed.

There was a long silence and the prince knew he was pushing on a sensitive topic. But he needed – wanted to know.

"It happened way back… when we were still in the military," Roa started and broke the silence.

"At first, we were just normal people, living with out families. But then, the military needed soldiers to fight in the Ishval Civil War. We wanted to protect out dear ones, so we joined them. Little did we know what would happen," Martel said and closed her eyes.

"There were some people that, like us, made their way to the Special Black Ops. We made the first move on most occasions. But the last one, we didn't expect it to end so badly," Dorochet added and leaned back on his chair.


Flashback

The Black Ops were waiting near an Isvalen Temple. It was night and they were waiting for orders.

"How long are they going to keep us waiting?" a still human Dorochet asked.

"You know how it is. We only get briefed before the mission," a non chimera Martel answered as he looked over her dagger.

"Yes but still… Why a Temple?" a normal Roa asked and looked at the town before them.

"We're not supposed to ask questions about out missions," Martel said and put her dagger back.

"Yeah I know," Dorochet said and sighed.

A few minutes later, their commander stood up and showed them to gather up.

"Okay listen up. We have too get into town and destroy the temple. If ANYONE sees you, you are too kill them immediately. Understood?" he explained.

"YES SIR," they said and disappeared into the night.

When the arrived too the town, some went on the roofs, while others went on the ground. They were all heading towards the temple. On their way, some Ishvales saw the soldiers. But they had no time to react, as the military cut them down on the spot. Blood spieled everywhere but they continued to the temple.


But as soon as they arrived, some were shot down. Gun shots were heard as more bodies fell to the ground. But not only Ishvalen, Amestris aloes had casualties.

While they were fighting, the Ishvalesn saw that they could not survive. Most of them have been killed, some escaped and others were fighting.

So, as a last resort, they used a bomb. They threw it at the Ops and when it exploded, Martel was caught in its explosion. She was half dead, like three others, but some didn't make it. Even some of the Ishvalesn were killed with that.

Next came more bullets and three of them were shot in Roa's back, making him fall to the ground with a 'thud'. Some more bullets hit Ulchi in the chest. There was barely anyone left on ether side, but the Ops managed too kill the others off.

In the end, most of them were on the ground, screaming and yelling in pain while others lay lifeless on the ground. Dorochet was the last one standing and breathing heavily. He was shot in the leg, but that didn't stop him.

"Roa…Martel… Ulchi… You guys better… not die on… me…" he said between breaths as he looked at them.

But just as he did, he felt a sharp pain right above his coccyx (the thing where monkeys have tails) and a blade that was looking out of his stomach. As he turned his head, he saw an Ishvalen that should have been dead, holding the blade. Both of them fell to the ground as darkness enveloped them.

The next thing the Amestriens heard was doctors yelling orders. They were in a hospital and were being treaded, or so they though. Martel and the others that were caught in the explosion were being treated the most.


When Roa, Dorochet and the others were stable and weren't going to die, the doctors started giving them 'medicine'. They kept asking questions, like 'Do you feel sleepy?' 'Do you want some more aspirin?' 'How is your sense of smell?' 'Do you feel an urge to chew something?'.

Shortly after that, the doctors took the injured soldiers too the lab. Every time someone went in, they didn't come out. Surly, Roa was taken in. When he entered, he felt sick as he could smell rotten and death. There he was asked to lie on the table. When he did that, the doctors restrained his arms and legs to the table.

"What is the meaning of this?" Roa demanded.

"Oh don't worry, you'll find out soon enough," one of the docs said.

After that, Roa felt a pain in his neck as he fell into a deep sleep.

Next up was Dorochet. He was asked to do the same as Roa and also smelled death. Before he lay down, he asked: "Where are Roa and Martel?"

"They were given… special treatment. Like you will," the doc said and motioned the solider to lie on the table.

He hesitated for a moment but did as he was told. He was strapped to the table like everyone else. Then another assistant ran into the room and whispered something to the doc.

"Aha I see," he said and the assistant ran out.

"Well looks like you're the last one," he started and stared at Dorochet.

"I guess we can show you what happens" he added and motioned someone to bring out something.

"You see," he started and put on a pair of gloves.

"You soldiers have used your usefulness as humans. So now, you'll become something more."

With that Dorochet looked at the thing that was brought in and saw it was a tube with a dog floating inside it. He looked in shock as the doc laughed.

"Don't worry. It's only hurt… a lot," he laughed and started the operation.
