The Gates Of Hell Beneath Central
Here it is, by popular demand, the fourth chapter. This might go into the next day, so it'll have been one day I didn't update. Or not. Either way review, and don't flame, I don't own FMA or The Beyond and all that.
4. Unexplainable Events
Riza had driven Winry to the old headquarters she was in the process of reopening, because for some odd reason, Winry had asked Riza to take her there. Once the car had stopped, Winry stepped out with her seeing dog and approached the building, quickly followed by Riza, who looked very confused. "Winry, please tell me...why did you ask me to bring you here? How do you know this place?" she asked curiously. Winry continued to walk. "I can't explain it here, Riza. I shal make it all clear to you inside." she said in an eerily calm tone.
In the basement
Lust had walked down into the basement once more to see if Breda had taken care of the flooded basement. When she had reached the basement, it looked like he didn't do anything at all. She groaned at what she thought was the man's ;aziness and so she grabbed another gas lamp. "BREDA!!!" she yelled into the echoing darkness. There was no answer. She groaned and trudged into the water as she began approaching where her path for the plumber lead.
In Winry's old civilian wing room
Winry had lead Riza to her old room in the civilian wing and Riza was sitting on the bed, watching Winry with confusion as the blind girl sat in front of a wall, running her fingers along the plaster. "Winry, please tell me...what do you know so much aout this place? Please, tell me, just what is going on?" she asked, half curious, half impatient. Winry continued...examining the wall when she answered. "I cannot truly explain, Riza. Please, just take my word for it. Go back to where you came from and hurry. Leave this place." she said in her eery calm voice as Riza looked down at the dusty wooden floor with frustration.
In the basement
Lust had reached the hole Breda made in the wall with his chisel. Lust stepped through the hole in the wall and held her lamp at the dark murky room she had never seen before. "BREDA!!!" she yelled once more. She grew frustrated with getting no answer from the plumber. Lust began to turn away and leave when she suddenly noticed a shadowy figure in the darkness. Lust raised one eyebrow in confusion and approached the figure, shining her light to get a better view as she lightly touched the figure. "Breda?" she asked in confused fear. What she saw made her reel back in disgust. It was Breda all right. His skin was slimy pale green, and he had huge ripped up gouging tear holes where his eyes should have been, and there was vomit and blood and who knows what else oozing out of his mouth as his lifeless body fell into the water. Lust turned back in disgust, and her eyes widened in fear when she saw what was in the water now in front of her. Another, much older dead body rose out of the muddy water in between her and the hole in the wall. It's skin was dark grey and clammy and peeling, it's eyes were nothing more than moldy clots of black sand, it had black, algae covered blood trailing from it's upper to lip to it's noce, and whatever hair was still on it's head was filthy, sandy and somewhat burned up. It was wearing a filthy vest and a muddy white sleeve shirt.
At the hospital
Dr. Edward Elric was in the morgue of the local hospital with a colleague of his he, and everyone else, simply referred to as Greed. Greed was a tall middle aged man with spiky black hair and somewhat sharp looking teeth, and he always wore lack round mirror sunglasses. They were studying two corpses they had brought in from the Central Military headquarters. One was the plumber Breda, and the other was an older corpse they had found in the basement. Edward had been checking Breda's body non-stop while Greed had been curiously looking at the older one. Edward sighed and headed over to Greed. "so...what do you think?" he asked tiredly. Greed sighed and ran his fingers through his hair at the situation. "Well...this one's definitely a peace of work, Ed. He's in amazingly good shape for a corpse that's been dead for over 60 years. I'm gonna bring in that brain machine." he said as he headed over to a small dorr in the back of the morgue. Edward sighed, stopping Greed. "Greed, do you really think that's gonna work on soemthing like that? It would be a miracle if he had anything going on." he said seriously and impatiently. Greed chuckled, in argument with Ed. "Come on, Elric. We never got a chance to use it once. Besides, you never know." he said insistingly. Edward sighed, just wanting the day to stop. "Alright, go ahead. But if he doesn't have anything by the time I come back, I'm giving him an autopsy." he said quickly as he left the room.
Somewhere in the city
Edward was driving through the city to take his mind off things when he stopped his car at a crossroad. Edward glanced to the car at his left, and he faintly smiled and honked his horn when he saw who was next to him. Riza was in her car next to him, apparently having left the building for the same reasons. She smiled briefly and waved at him that she saw someone she actually was glad to see today.
At the hospital
Greed was standing next to the old corpse for what must have been twenty minutes. He brought in a small sound machine with little suction cups he attached to the bodies head for brain waves. So far, nothing. Greed sighed, about to pull the plug when a buzz came from a small phone on the wall. Greed sighed and walked over to answer. In a few seconds, he had left the room and when the doors shut, the machine attached to the bodies head started to make a very thick beating sound like a heart, which only meant one thing: that body, gained brain waves out of nowhere.
In the small hallway just outside the morgue, two females stood outside the door. One of them was a tall woman with slightly pink skin, short dark brown hair, and a small mole underneath her left eye. This was breda's wife, Maria. And the other was a little girl with blondish brown hair in little pgtails. This was their daughter, Nina. A doctor came in and spoke very briefly and quietly to Maria. Maria nodded and grabbed a small bag she had been carrying and went into the morgue while Nina sat in the hallway. Maria walked over to her husbands body. Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw him so...destroyed. Maria shook the tears from her eyes, and took a bunch of cloths out of the bag. After 15 minutes of very quick hand sewing, Maria had managed to make and put on, a tuxedo on Breda's body for his funeral. Maria sighed and began to back away to the exit, when she foolishly glanced at the older body. The machine wasn't making any noise when she had come in. But just seeing the body, Maria instantly started screaming. Nina could hear her mothers' screaming from the hall, so she quickly opened the door yelling "Mommy?" But what Nina ran into made her go pale. Her mother was unconscious on the floor, and alarge vat of clear liquid on the stool above her, tipped over and spilled all the liquid on Maria's face. It made a disgusting sizzling sound on impact, and Maria's face instantly started turning red and bubbling and suddenly dissolving into a bloody, mushy pulp under the liquid. Nina could see in wide eyes the lael on the vat read "ACID". Nina could only watch in horror as her mother's face was quickly turning into a growing puddle of blood, pulp and liquified brains. Maria quickly turned to see her fathers body and the older body next to it. Nina could see the blood puddle that was her mom suddenly start coming towards her. Nina backed away and ran for a door, and she quickly found one that wasn't locked, and the enxt thing she knew, when she opened it, a man with half his face cut open was breathing and leaned in toward the shrieking little girl.
That was that. Review!!!
