Mustang sighed a simply watched the now lifeless body of Edward burn, Winry and Al coming over to watch as well. They all gasped as the smoke and fire died away to show that every scar, including spiraling ones on his leg that was unable to be seen until now, were all to the bone. The automail fell off the bones, the arm snapping the collarbone in the process, the body falling limply to its left. Winry covered her trying not to cry. Mustang sighed again and simply turned to the reawakening men.
"Let's go." He said, his voice stronger than he felt, Winry being ushered out by a equally sad and crying Alphonse.
Mustang looked uninterested to his door as a knock was heard. Winry sniffled and answered it, shocked by the rushed and frantic look of the two soldiers, wheeling in a T.V. Al sat up from his sober hunch in the couch and looked confused at the two.
"Why so rushed?" The two simply soluted before the woman spoke.
"It's the organization that had held Mr. Elric. Look!" They all surrounded the T.V. to see a man smirk into the camera.
"Hello, I hope you're watching this, Roy Mustang." Mustang simply sat up straighter in response, glaring at the T.V.
"Get this signal tracked, NOW." The two soldiers nodded and quickly left the room, the man on the T.V. simply leaning away. They all gasped at the sight, the bones of Edward and his automail sat in a huge human transmutation circle.
"THIS, as you can see, will bring back our Joker Project." Mustang rolled his eyes.
"This is only going to cause his own death." The man laughed as though he heard him.
"I figure," Five people, all of which had scars like Edward, sat down on the points of the circle, "Five lives for the price of one is more than enough for truth, don't you?" Alphonse stared in disbelief.
"T-they wouldn't!" An alchemist sat down next to the circle, the man bringing the camera closer to the circle, the circle activating. Everyone could only stare as the five people disappeared as though they were evaporating. Soon the bones were covered his alchemic light. The circle deactivated, the man smirking as four men came and grabbed something, that something flailed, the light dissipating to reveal Edward, the scars still there. He looked wide eyed everywhere, the man leaving the camera to walk to him.
"Did you think you could escape us by dying, eh Joker?" Edward simply stared is shock at the man, the man pulling out a knife. "Now, lets figure out your punishment." The man threw the knife, destroying the camera, making it turn to static. Mustang simply stared in shock at the screen for a second until he blinked. He jumped from his chair.
"We need to go back, NOW." Everyone nodded in agreement before they left the room, Alphonse stopping them suddenly.
"Wait! Don't you see?" Mustang arched a brow, "This is what they want! They brought him back because they want you dead!" Mustang chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Fullmetal won't kill me, he proved that last time." Alphonse followed him unsure out of the H.Q. They approached the building, Mustang turning to Alphonse. "You can show us him can't you?" Alphonse nodded and clapped his hands, an image appearing. Edward sat holding his left eye, the one without the scars, with a blood soaked cloth. A man approached him, Edward simply looking up with dead eyes before removing the cloth. A fresh gash went from the corner of his eyebrow to the tip of his nose. The man sighed sadly and knelt by him.
"They decided on your eye again it seems..." Edward nodded, blood instantly covering his face, "How horrible, they said to speed up the scarring, but if your eyesight were to go, I am to not help you." Edward nodded again.
"Understandable, I tried to leave without them saying I could..." The man sighed as he clapped his hands, putting them to Edward's face.
"They have trained you well...too well I fear." Edward chuckled as the man removed his hands, a stitched looking scar now replacing the bloody gash. Alphonse stopped his alchemic ability and turned to Mustang, who nodded and entered the building. They were faced with no resistance, the men simply chuckling and moving out of the way. Mustang took a deep breath and opened the last door, Edward simply glancing in his general direction.
"I'd advise you to leave, I was given my orders Mustang." Edward said quietly. He stood up and turned halfway to him, his eyes halflidded and a uncarig expression on his face. "And I can assure you," Mustang arched a brow, Edward narrowing his eyes,
"I will not disobey again."
