Chapter four
The creature was struggling to pull the chains from the ceiling. It would have been a lot easier but every time he tried to use alchemy the circle under him would flash and cause him a great deal of pain. He found out very recently how strong during his last training session and he wanted out. He had talked to an outsider and it craves for the same freedom.
"Hey…calm down" It was John. Koa was behind him. " Come on and if you do we will give you a nice treat"
It opened his mouth and vomited a substance like red water but only more potent. The goo fell all over the two scientists and they fell against each other screaming in pain as red sparks danced around their bodies." Then they fell down twitching and convulsing, their bodies merged together in some hideous disgusting form their systems could not handle. Soon the body failed them and they died.
Envy walked up to him and kicked the mutated body aside. Then he looked up at the creature. Wrath was close behind. " So if we let you out will you stop this little temper tantrum?"
He looked at Envy for a while and shut his eyes, calming down.
"Good let's go Envy" Bradley said walking out. Envy followed him. They just needed to stop the tantrum was all.
Falling for the same trick as always, the experiment just pretended to sleep. Though he finally thought of a plan.
"I wish I could remember, big brother, but I just can't" Al was saying. He had seen the documents that Ed had seen and it reminded him about the homunculi capturing him. He had seen something relating to this but he just couldn't place his finger on it.
"Man Al. I don't understand how this could happen. I'm sure a soul can't get amnesia from getting hit on the head or something. His eyes snapped open. Unless someone messed with him using alchemy. He crumpled up the paper in his fist as Al kept looking through the documents.
There was a knock at the door and Ed opened it. It was a bellhop. " Mr. Elric, you have a phone call." Ed nodded and went downstairs to take it. "Ed speaking."
"Hello Edward, this is Lieutenant Hawkeye."
"Hello Lieutenant" he said " you finally here?"
"Yeah" she answered, " I'm on my way over to the hotel and just thought I would let you know. Say you haven't seen Roy anywhere right?"
Ed blinked " Roy is here? I did not know that, but I'll keep an eye out for him." He told them his room number and that they would wait for her and all go to back into Central HQ together. He hung up and walked back upstairs " Alright Al we are going to go back into headquarters later to solve this problem once and for all"
Al nodded and a meow echoed through his armor.
Ed slowly and angrily looked over at his younger brother. A vein popped out of his forehead "Al"
Al got up " big brother your so evil!" he knocked Ed over as he ran out. Ed twitched some. At least it wasn't like getting hit with the cursed wrench Winry carried everywhere.
Riza had gotten a room near the Elrics and they were already talking downstairs, trying to figure out this entire situation.
"Well yeah if Roy is in trouble they would probably be using me as some sort of blackmail. I just have to be there to support him."
"I just want to punch Roy's face into the ground." Ed growled and put his fist in his hand.
Riza gave him a look and then got out of her chair "We have waited long enough here, lets go."
Ed looked at her. She had quite a few guns on her as always and it seemed she had expected a fight. He nodded and stood up " alright, lets find out what's going on and try to stop this experiment before it's completed.
They stood off and trudged back into a much more full headquarters and made a beeline down the hall.
"Riza… I mean lieutenant Hawkeye."
The three turned around. "Mustang" Ed growled, "What the hell is going on here!"
Roy ignored him and continued to stare at Riza. "What are you doing here?"
" I wanted to ask you the same thing." Riza stated. "Forgive me for disobeying your order, but I understand you have" she brought her voice much lower " getting into something that you may need my help for"
Ed pulled out one of the papers and Roy snatched it from his hands " how did you get this Fullmetal!?"
"I have my ways" he said and then angrily poked a gloved finger into his chest "What shady business are you getting caught up into and what does it have to do the lieutenant?"
Roy narrowed his eyes "This is none of your business!" he pushed Ed back "Lieutenant you must go back to East HQ!"
'There defiantly was something going on now, Ed thought. He wants us gone but why'
The creature looked down at the alchemy circle and then at the length of his chains that went up into the darkness. They were very long and the alchemy circle wasn't all that big. He tried to use some alchemy on the steel cuffs on his wrists. The circle below glowed red and shot up a red light at him. He gritted his teeth in pain, still he did it for a reason. He took notice that the light only was the diameter around the middle of the circle to its edges. That's when he grinned and started to swing, his body slowly moving back and forth until he was out of range of the circle
" What is he doing?" Envy asked from behind the glass.
Bradley ran forwards " Stop him now before he – "
Too late! With a red flash of light the chains disintegrated and he burst out of the glass. He still wore the steel cuffs. They could come in handy as material.
Envy went to tackle him to the ground but they once loyal experiment dodged with such speed he couldn't see. " Damn I forgot about his speed" Envy turned only to get a long steel blade into his gut. He used the cuffs to form them. Then he got another unto his chest. It swung around slicing Envy into three pieces.
His body fell and the nameless creature turned his eyes to Gluttony who swung his fist at him. Red sparks went up the big homunculi's arm and all around his body. Gluttony screamed in pain as his eyes erupted in blood and more blood spilled down his ears, nostrils, and mouth. Something liquid seemed to pump into the experiments arm and Gluttony started to disintegrate into dust, starting with his skin and all the way to his bone until that was gone too.
Bradley stepped back "He… absorbed the stone inside of Gluttony." He turned to a just as terrified Lust. " We may have to go to think of a plan"
"But what about It" she pointed at the creature who was looking down at the reforming Envy.
"Unless you want to die you will have to forget him at the moment and run" Bradley took off with his amazing speed. Lust followed after him and Envy wasn't going to be left behind either. He turned into a dog and took off between the creatures legs.
The creature followed after but they had already gone. Was there another door he didn't know about? He looked around and went to the door that led out and pushed it open breaking the wall behind it and pushing the bookcase over. Then stormed out naked into the halls. Several people screamed, mostly women and several men tried to hand him their jackets. He shoved them aside. He was so close to going outside. He could smell it.
Roy turned around seeing the commotion and then his eyes widened "Oh no" It was coming right for them and then paused seeing Roy. He remembered him too. Then his eyes slid from him to Al which he started to smile when he saw.
Riza shoved herself in front of the others and pointed a pistol at him since he had blood on him. She then saw his face. It was like hers, even his hair was like hers except a lot longer and white. She lowered her gun and turned her gaze to Roy. She remembered reading the papers and what it explained: DNA from Hawkeye…the philosophers stone. It confused her but yet started to make little sense. " Roy" she said dropping the formal talk. " What the hell is going on here?"
