CC: hiii! So sorry, but I got my report card and I'm just lucky I'm not held back! :(
Al: That's too bad…how many bad grades?
CC: *starts crying*
Al: Shouldn't have said that…
Angel: I hope she can continue…
Ed: CC does NOT own anything! ..except Angel… She doesn't make money from this and she doesn't own FullMetal Alchemist.
Winry: Oh, and this is a note from CC because she's busy right now.
CC: *crying*
Winry: Read it carefully, ok? Here it is:
~ NOTE: incase you don't realize it: Angel call's Ed nii-san and calls Al brother. A simple way to tell them apart. Ed is sometimes known as Nii-san and Al is sometimes known as Brother… SOMETIMES! ~
Chapter 8
Ed flipped through all the books, staring at some of Shou Tucker's research as well; he noticed all kinds of transmutation circles and got many great ideas. And everyday it was either Roy, Riza, Gracia or Maes who came to check up on them. And Ed used to insist he was fine. Although they'd still force him to lunch or dinner.
After about one week Alphonse looked up from his book and decided to check on Angel. As usual, she was sitting on the floor staring at them, before laying down and falling asleep.
Ed sighed. It was all his fault to begin with. He shouldn't have said any of that. He knew it hurt her feelings. Finally he shut his book, wrote down his theories, got ideas from Al and decided upon something.
"This has to work!" Ed exclaimed, drawing the transmutation circle on the floor. "Al, get Angie."
"Ok, brother…but are you sure about this?"
"Yeah…I am…" Ed whispered as he set up everything. Al brought Angel into the room and set her on the ground, she ran up to Ed and stared at him, "Angel, you'll be fine. I promise." He said.
Then he told Alphonse to stay back as he started the transmutation, it hurt him, a lot. But when the familiar glow of lightning-blue came from the circle, he smiled. He pressed down harder.
It began to hurt him.
No, I made it this far. I won't quit. Not when I'm so close.
He felt something stab him and kept pushing himself to continue. Then his vision began to blur.
"BROTHER!"
"STAY BACK AL!"
"BUT-"
"I SAID STAY BACK, ALPHONSE!"
Edward saw Angel's blonde hair go back to the way it was, her tail disappeared, and most of her body was turning back to normal, but she was screaming in pain. Nevertheless, he pushed him self, the transmutation had to be complete. He didn't want to mess up.
Angel's arms and legs became back to normal, and her ears began to turn as well. As soon as she looked normal, Ed stopped. His vision almost completely black. Angel stopped screaming, and was able to look at herself…
"Nii-san? What did you do?"
"I'm glad you're ok, Angie." He smiled, then gave her a hug. He began feeling faint and he knew that transmutation had taken a lot of energy from him. And he had told Al to stay away. Which was probably a bad idea but Al had to listen anyways.
But if this had failed, I should've been the only one affected, Ed thought, so it was in fact a good idea.
The last thing he heard was Angel and Alphonse yelling, "Brother!"
"Nii-San!"
And then he slowly allowed himself to ease into the darkness…
CC: yeah, it's not that long…
Ed: You're telling me.
Everyone: Comment please! :)
