Obviously, I have no inspiration to take this fic seriously. But as an aspiring writer, even though I know this next chapter will be badly written, I'll still finish it. I can't stand not finishing something I started. Anyway, if you like it, then that's good. If you don't, I'm sorry. Okay, here it is! The last chapter! Enjoy!
"The Philosopher's Stone... so it is true..." Ed said to himself.
"Brother, we need the stone as well," Al said to him.
The Fuhrer approached Roy, Ed, Al, Riza and their other subordinates. "Well, well, do you guys know what makes up the philosopher's stone?"
Roy looked at him disgusted. "You're going to tell us anyway you traitor!"
He stood infront of him and slapped his face. "You're the traitor, Mustang! I should have known that you would do this to me!"
"I may have been a traitor of the military, but you're a traitor to the human race! You were still once human!"
Then, Envy appeared from the dark shadows. "And that is why we need the philosopher's stone. To truly become human, even better! That we may live forever!"
Dante next appeared from the shadows. "Now, now, Envy, that's not the way to talk to our guests. We should at least tell them straight out what composes the Philosopher's stone."
"What is it... human lives?" Riza said, kinda knowing that was the answer.
"Exactly my dear. You're wise."
Those who were hostage looked scared and surprised. The Philosopher's Stone had a big price to pay.
"I get why you want it. You're obssessed of power and immortality, but that won't make you happy! Friends! Love! Family! That will make you happy!" Al explained.
Dante used her hands to for an alchemy circle on Al. "I had all those before and I wasn't at all happy. They all left me. Anyway, don't worry, you'll all die together. Didn't you just say that friends, love and family will make you happy? Well, be happy to die together."
Suddenly, the circle glowed and Al experienced pain. Something was going on with his body.
Ed tried to break from te rope. "Brother!!! What are you doing to him?! Stop it!"
"Dante's merely getting Al ready for the making of the new Philosopher's Stone. With him, it would be a big success and he can make the new and improved stone."
"You monsters!!!" Havoc and the others explained.
"We may be monsters to you, but we will live longer than you guys," Wrath butted in.
After that, the circle stopped glowing but was still on Al. He lost consciousness and remained silent for a while.
"Now... it's the next step of the making of the stone. The blood to be shed!!!" Gluttony said madly.
The homunculi got ready to kill each and every one of them.
They positioned their weapons ready for the dire deed.
It was only inches away until they reached their victim.
Yet out of the blue, came Maes's spirit glowing. He had a gun in his hand even if he was a ghost.
"Maes!!! I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm glad you're here!" Roy said.
He pointed his gun on Gluttony. "God sent me, Roy. He's happy that you believe in him now. Anyway, I was sent to save you guys!" He then fired away.
He hit Gluttony, then Lust. They both fell on the ground and turned into ashes.
Maes then used a knife to release his friends from the ropes.
"How did you do that, Maes? You're dead," Riza commented.
He looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "You remember me now, Riza?!"
"Sorry... not yet. But... you're obviously a spirit."
He sighed. "Oh well."
Ed tried to hit Wrath with the chair near him. "Uh... guys, it's no time for chitchat, let's defeat these creeps!"
They all attacked and with helping each other, they defeated the other homunculi one by one. Wrath was pinned by Ed and Al so Maes could fire the special gun by God. While the Fuhrer was kicked by Roy and Riza plus tackled by the other subordinates so it would be a clear shot.
Dante and Envy were the only ones left.
Envy moved swiftly and took Riza to her side. He was about to kill her already but uttered a few words. "I may die, but I won't die in vain! I'll bring this girl to the other side with me!"
Maes pulled the trigger but it was too late. Envy hit Riza on the stomach. They both fell on the ground.
With this happening, Dante ran away seeing everybody was too dumbfounded on what happened. Nobody would accept it. Not even Roy.
But it was the truth. It happened.
Roy went to Riza's side. He saw she was still conscious. "Hold on, Riza! We'll get you to a doctor!"
She shook her head. "No... Roy...I won't make it anymore."
"Don't say that!!!!"
She reached out her hand and carressed his soft face filled with tears. "Don't worry. Like Maes... remember... I'll always be with you... I remember everything now, Roy. Every moment we shared. And someday... I promise, we'll be together again. I love you, Roy Mustang."
With that, she gave her last breath and her hand fell down.
"RIIIIZA!!! NOO!" Roy cried out loud.
In the other hand, Ed and Al, who were also in pain still decided to follow Dante. They cornered her by the house's master bedroom.
Ed was mad. Really mad. "You're going to pay for everything you've done!!!!"
"What can you do, child? You can't kill me."
Maes appeared behind her. "But I can!!!" He shot her with his gun.
She fell. And everything was done.
The funeral commenced three days after the incident. The days before, Roy could just stay beside Riza's cold body. He couldn't believe that she was gone. He didn't even get to tell her how much she means to him.
Anyway, in the day of the funeral, he cried the most. He couldn't see her casket being buried. He turned around and cried and cried. Worse, it even rained.
He looked up the sky and was about to curse the cruel faith God had given him. But then, the rain disappeared and the sun shone.
By the clouds, he could see two familiar faces. A good friend of his smiling with the pictures of his daughter; and Riza.
I'll always be with you.
He made a genuine smile. Visit me some other time, you two.
Other people were just perplexed on what the FUHRER meant. Yes, Roy was already Fuhrer because of what he had done.
However, Ed, Al, Armstrong and Roy's subordinates knew what he was thinking. They all had faith and could see Maes and Riza.
And they believed, they'll never leave Roy. For they're two people he loved dearly.
They also knew, that one day, Roy and Riza would finally be together.
A/N: You guys must have not been expecting that huh? Neither did I. I never intended it to be a sad ending, but it seemed to fit it. :D Anyway, as I said, this is the end. :D Ja ne for now!
