A/N: Finally! Chapter 3 is up! Sorry for the long wait. I've been taking care of some stuff. Anyways, here's the latest chapter of FMA: Dragons in Amestris. Hopefully it was worth the wait!


Ed and Al gaped in horror at the sight before them. Two strange creatures were lying in the center of the field, lying in a pool of blood. They had what appeared to be different parts of different animals, from around Amestris. Wings of a Bat on their shoulders, the scaly skin of an Alligator all over their bodies, the basic bone structure of a Dog. They looked like a giant lump of many different animals, though it all worked together in a harmonizing effect. Or, at least it would have, if their bodies weren't all chopped up. Memories were flowing around in Ed's mind. The night of the accident. Ed's leg and arm. The horrid, inhuman creature that was supposed to be his mother. Ed's eyes widened as each passing memory added to his own horror.

"B-brother, what are these things?" Al said, though he already knew what the answer would be.

"They're…chimeras Al. Chopped up chimeras." Ed said, dropping to his feet and putting his hands in the blood pool.

"Dammit. Just when I thought we had rid ourselves of the bloodshed, it's starting all over again."

Al didn't reply. All he could do was stare at the pathetic creatures that lay before them.

Suddenly, there was a stir in one of them. Ed and Al jumped in surprise. "Gah! They're alive!" Ed practically shrieked.

"With our luck, they always are!" Al put in.

The one that stirred, the black one, began to cough. There was movement under its eyelid before it opened slightly. Ed gasped. The eyes were a shining, emerald green. Its eyes moved around until it finally saw them, though, by this time, they were already starting to go foggy. Ed looked right into its eyes, as it looked into his eyes. Ed felt something, among all the grief and horror. Like this creature, was trying to tell him something.

"Al, I think it wants our help." Ed said to all, looking at him.

"But brother, how do we know if it's the right thing? Last time something came through the gate to our world, it tried to destroy us!"

"Al, we'll just have to-"

"Please…" Said a voice, mysteriously close by. Ed stopped, and both looked around, trying to find out where the voice was coming from.

"Hello?" Ed called out. No answer, until a second later, it came again.

"P-please…help…" the voice was a female's though it sounded severely weak. Ed and Al's heads perked up, then they both looked down at the two chimeras.

"P-please…h-help…us…" This time, there was no doubt where the voice came from. The black chimera had spoken!

If there was a look of horror worse than what the worst look of horror looked like, (Confusing, I know,) Ed and Al would definitely come out on top.

"Brother, it spoke." Al said, his voice now reduced to a squeak. Ed wasn't listening. Suddenly, new flashes of memories exploded into his mind.

"I told you I'd let you see. It's a perfect version, a chimera that knows the human tongue."

"Edward, my friend. Edward, why does it hurt here?"

"Where have Alexander and Nina gone to?"

"This guy used his own wife Al!" "A-and this time?" "His daughter! And his dog!"

"I'd say, it's almost as if that poor, pathetic creature were blown apart from the inside."

"NINA!"

"GAAAAH!" Ed cried out, squeezing the side of his head with his hands.

"Brother!" Al shouted out in concern. Ed swung his arms and slapped his hands together. He slammed them on the ground. Energy spiked out everywhere as something began to form around the two creatures. Within seconds, there was a rock and wood cart holding the chimeras in it.

"Brother! What are you doing?!" Al shouted at him. Ed looked at him sternly.

"Al, I don't care if these creatures will do us harm. If they can speak, them it means they're still human somewhere inside them. And I won't let a human life be taken." He lowered his head. "And besides, I can't let something like what happened to Nina happen again. We're going to help them." He picked up the cart and began struggling as he pushed it along. Al ran up beside him.

"But brother, where would we even take them? Normal hospitals would reject them, and military ones will just lock them up for testing when they heal them."

"Al, there is one other place." Ed muttered. Al's eyes widened.

"They won't refuse if we insist, and they have a good medical supply. It's the only way." Al nodded slightly, still unsure of the creatures. He used to be a lot more open-hearted, but after all that's been done to him, he became a little bit more suspicious of everything.

But then there was the matter of his brother, who once he set his mind to something, there was no way to stop him. Al sighed. "Brother, wait up!" Al shouted as he caught up to the cart and helped push it. Ed nodded with a smile to Al, thanking him.

As they continued down the road, the black chimera, the female one, opened her eyes again.

"Th-thank…you…" She croaked before falling unconscious.


Winry looked up at the clock. The stew on the table was getting cold, yet there was no sign of Edward or Alphonse. "What's taking them, I wonder?" She said quietly. You know how those boys can be Winry." Pinako said as she entered the room, holding her usual pipe. "They can be side tracked quite easily to helping people. What you should really be wondering is if they'll be back before tomorrow." Winry laughed a little at her grandmother's joke, then frowned again. Pinako looked at her worriedly, then just shrugged and sat down at the table.

"Oh Edward. Alphonse. You just get back here from being in another world. Has it really been four years since I properly got to spend time with you?" She thought to herself.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it. Pinako said. Winry looked up, then stood up to heat the cold meals. She went into the kitchen, and set down the plates near the fire, when she heard a gasp from the other room. She looked out the kitchen door to see Edward at the door, Pinako staring at something outside.

"Hey Edward, what's going on, I thought it would be a quick trip to the stor-." She noticed that there were no boxes. "Wait a minute, where are the supplies!?" She shouted.

"Winry, now's not the time. We need urgent help. Now." Ed said. Winry calmed down as she heard this. "Who needs help?"

"They do." Ed said, moving out of the way. Winry gasped. Two creatures were in a cart near Al. They were bleeding heavily, blood already dripping from the cart.

"Ed, what are those things!?" Winry cried out in horror (I'm using this word a lot, aren't I?)

"They're chimeras Winry." Al said. "They need our help!"

"Grandma, what should we do!? They're asking us to help some strange creature we know nothing about?" Winry said to her grandma, at a loss for what to do.

"Dear, though they may be strange, and not of natural work, they are severely injured, and they need medical attention. We'll help them."

Winry looked at her Grandma like she was insane, but then closed her eyes and nodded in acceptance.

"Good," Pinako said. She turned to Ed and Al. "You two. Get some cloth from the back. We'll need it to cut off their bleeding. Winry, get the bandages from the surgery room. I'll set a place down for laying them down." They all nodded. Before Ed left with Al though, Pinako spoke up.

"Edward, I'm only helping them, because it's your decision to help them, and I cannot refuse injured animals. Let's just hope that it's not the wrong decision."

Ed turned to face her. "I hope so too, Grandma Pinako." He ran to the back to help out Al.

Pinako looked at the two creatures, and sighed.

"What monsters could have done this to them." She thought before starting to clear a space.
