well, at least i got this one out alittle faster... iv been done for a few days but was waiting to see if i could get any more reviews. Guess i should be happy with three... but i won't put anything out with any less then that.

Anyways, if you happened to read my last chapter the first day it was out I'm sure your confused, I got mixed up and left out the beginning of the chapter. It's fixed now and I'm REALLY sorry for the mistake. Now, on with the chapter!

Catastrophic

Chapter seven: Dungeons and Decisions

Team seven was brought down to the bottom of the stairs and all the way to the basement but instead of locking them up in the cells Ed and Al tied them all together with a steel cable created from a few of the bars and sat the captured nin out in the hallway with them.

When they first reached the room Ed and Al were forced to explain enough of there current situation to stop the ninja from going crazy at seeing a moving suit of armor with nothing inside.

All five of them waited now, each off in there own world.

The talking had stopped when Ed decided to keep Naruto's mouth shut with a makeshift gag using extra rope he had. Since then everything was silent. Edward wasn't even thinking about the current situation at all really. His mind was focused fully of the Philosopher's stone and the portal of truth.

"Hay Ed…" Alphonse whispered "I was thinking…"

Everyone looked over to him, glad to have a new conversation finally start up. "What?"

"…those hand-sings the ninja make…" He continued, gesturing towards the genin "…I was thinking how they remind me of how you clap your hands together to do alchemy… maybe it's there way of gathering energy from the gate…"

"What gate?" Sakura interrupted.

"It's hard to explain." Edward said "I see your point Al, I sorta thought the same thing, but what they do seems very different from alchemy…"

"Maybe…" Al replied "...there just manipulating things in a different way. Temporarily changing form, or shifting chemical form… I donno… we'd have to know more information…"

"What do you need to know?" asked Sasuke slyly.

Naruto of course was trying to say something most likely loud and annoying but all that made it out was muffled moans with no translation.

"What do the hand positions symbolize? What do they do?" Asked Ed turning to face him "What gives you the ability to make a doppelganger?"

"The hand signs each create different way to manipulate chakara depending on the order you do them in." Sakura answered "To make a successful shadow clone you have to complete the correct hand signs and summon the right amount of chakara to form the clone."

Sasuke glared at her as if she had done something wrong and she looked down in shame.

"chakara…" Ed said "what's chakara?"

Through the gag naruto managed to let out a distorted laugh, Sasuke and Sakura turned away, not wanting to give any more information.

"I see…" said Al "So the different hand signs are just like the ruins in an alchemy circle?"

Before anyone else had a chance to speak a knock was made on the door. Ed and Al got up to answer and were greeted with a familiar voice. "How's it going Fullmetal?" Said the man standing there "I hear you got yourself in some trouble."

"Colonel!?" Ed asked in shock "What are you doing here?"

Roy Mustang came in, eyeing the ninja carefully. He had black hair and a blue uniform with white gloves. "I was on my way to check up on you when I herd something happened."

"How'd you hear about that?" asked Ed

"An eye witness." Roy was acting a bit off but not enough to make Ed or Al really suspicious.

"Yeah well…" Ed continued, ignoring the feeling in his gut that something was wrong "…all the other prisoners escaped, these three are the only one's left."

"I can't believe the great Fullmetal Alchemist got overpowered." He said with a laugh "...looks like you're losing your touch."

"Don't you wish?" Edward said with a joking growl.

Roy chuckled a little and grinned evilly.

"Hay…" whispered a childish voice from the door. Everyone turned to see an eye peaking threw the doorway "…hay envy… can I eat them now…"

Mustang's expression instantly changed to annoyance. "Idiot." He muttered shaking his head. Suddenly Mustang transformed into someone completely different. He was now a new person entirely and had long black hair wearing a tight black top and tight shorts.

Edward glared at the person formally known as Roy while the ninja sat there, all thinking the same thing at the same time "A transformation jutsu?!"

"No. You. Can. Not. Eat. Them." Envy yelled as the hidden stranger slipped into the room. "You ruined our element of surprise." Ed launched an attack, already having turned his auto mail into a blade again.

The creature at the door was now in the room standing there in the corner. He…or it rather, was pale as a sheet, and fat as a pig. Drool dripped from the side of his mouth and he turned to face the ninja, with an evil grin asking his companion "how about them?"

Envy dodged Ed's attack and sent him flying back with a powerful kick, landing on Al with a thud "eh, sure… help yourself Gluttony."

He licked his lips with a huge tattooed tong and more drool ran down his face as he moved sluggishly towards his next three course meal. "Eat us?!" Sakura said with confusion.

"Get away." Edward yelled, running at Gluttony, "I still need them!"

"Come back here Fullmetal." Envy said going towards Ed but Al jumped in the way, cutting him off.

"Your gonna have to go threw me first." He said going into a fighting stance.

The homunculus let out a laugh and replied "If you say so tin can." He transformed into a snake, sliding past Al's shoulder with ease.

A metal fist grabbed onto his tail before he got past. "Come one." He said throwing the snake forward as it started to turn back into Envy "Get some new material; somebody's already called me 'tin can' this week."

Edward had already reached Gluttony and managed to cut off the top part of his head in one quick slash. The invalid ninja were shocked to see it beginning to grow back.

Before he was fully revived Ed cut up Gluttony's arms, further weakening the beast and he started hulling team seven away from there impending danger.

"Hurry up!" Al yelled, having obvious trouble holding off Envy.

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" Ed called back slowly making his way to the door "You three should really go on a diet!"

"Hello there." Envy said with a smile hitting Ed in the gut, sending him back against the bars. The alchemist clutched his stomach and coughed with pain. Envy turned to face the genin with an eyebrow raised "Who are you three anyway?"

"Just some nobodies" said Ed, slamming a fist into envy's cheek. Gluttony had recovered by now and was making his way to Ed, his tong hanging out ravenously.

"These 'nobodies' could help if you let us go" Sasuke said glaring at Edward. Envy was pulling himself out of the wall and Ed had to quickly decide the lesser of two evils.

Al rushed over and, with light speed, drew an alchemy circle. This made a brick wall surround them on all sides, temporarily holding back the monsters. Alphonse looked over to his big brother for the next move.

Ed seemed to be deep in thought.

He lifted his auto mail blade and slashed right threw the ropes binding Naruto and company saying "Lets see what Konaha's made of."

Envy and Gluttony easily broke threw the wall and were moving in for another round. "Finally!" Naruto yelled as they all got into attack positions "I've been waiting FOREVER to get in a good fight."

That fight scene was really supriseingly hard. Lots of things happening at the same time, all needing enough detail to make sence. Hope it turned out well. Oh and by the way, Im trieing to make a conncetion between alchemy and jutsu... it may make no sence at all but I'm trying.

And i'll say it again, because I get really annoyed when i go from getting tons of reviews down the the bear minium, any less then 3 reviews and YOU WILL GET NO MORE CHAPTERS! sorry but it bothers me that so many people have this storie on there favorate list and alet me list and yet so few reviewed. If you like me storie, tell me. if you hate my storie, tell me how i could improve. im open to criticism in all aspects of the story accept the author's notes.
