Result of a Bluebird: Second Chance

I was excited to fight after years of avoiding violence but my first concern was the safety of the other passengers. This would have to end quickly. I used alchemy to make walls, all of them boxed Lust and I alone, this way no one else could get hurt. Her nails sped towards me and I moved out of the way. Her nails stuck in the wall behind me and I smirked. This was rather easy. I clapped my hands and placed them on her hand, I felt a little pride when I saw it burn. Way too easy. She screamed and her other hand wrapped around the burning one. She glared at me but I saw that glimmer of fear. Oh geez, guess I really am the devil. I am going to give the Truth a lot of shit when I see him.

I used it to my advantage though. I took out my scythe and posed it ready to strike. "You are going to bring me to your father, Homunculus." Lust looked reluctant, and I felt disgusted of what I was about to say. "I wish to join him." I felt sickened but I kept up the façade as Lust smirked. "Oh really? What use would Father have for you little boy?" I felt my anger spike slightly, but I kept my cool. "Well, that's rather simple. Not only am I an alchemist but I was good enough to put Wrath in a state of fear. I even see some of that in you." She flinched and glared again. "Very well." I felt something put pressure on my neck, a pressure point, and I saw black.

Roy poked at a pencil, not in the mood to do paperwork. He was bored out of his mind. He wished Edward was there. Roy smirked. Roy had realized soon after meeting him that Ed would do nothing if you insulted him. The kid never reacted and it was entertaining to try and get him to. Roy could proudly say he had been able to make Ed laugh. Bam, the Flame Alchemist strikes again baby! He felt that making the teen laugh was really good considering what Ed's family did to him. How could they do that to someone so young. He was such a good kid, what could he ever had done? Just then Riza came in and saluted. Roy nodded to her and she put her hand down. "Sir, you have a phone call." Roy nodded. "Who?" Riza sighed. "Van Hohenheim." Roy stiffened. What did he want? Roy got up and went to the phone. He held it to his ear and told the operator to patch it through. Riza watched as Roy talked. She only got to hear his side of the conversation. "Yes…Why would I do that?…What are you talking about?…Yes, I have….t-that's impossible…explain….I will be there soon." After he hung up Roy turned to Riza. He looked disappointed. "Come with me Hawkeye." She looked to him curiously. "To where sir?" Roy grabbed his coat. "Central. There something we need to see."

I woke up with my hands forced apart by chains and an ache in my back. I looked around and saw nothing, but I could feel the hard and cold ground and hear voices. I thought it over for a moment and pushed myself up with my feet. The chains held my arms a foot apart and they were only 5 inches above my head. Let's see. My arms are chained just low enough for my arms to bend so I can use them. And my feet are not chained so I can use them. Hmm, doesn't look like they even tried. I pushed my chained hands downward and climbed up the wall with my feet. I kept it up until I was basically sitting sideways on the wall. Spider much? My hands were close enough for alchemy now and I destroyed the chains. When I was released I rubbed my now marked wrists and sighed. Damn it that hurt. I walked through several hallways. They all seemed familiar and I soon found Gluttony and Sloth in the room I remembered to be dining room. I felt a little bad about what I was about to do but it had to be done. I was about to take out the scythe but I clutched my head in pain when I tried. I felt like someone had stabbed me straight through the head. Why couldn't I use Pride's scythe? I sighed. Oh well, I would find out soon.

Instead I made the ground shake and two hands came up and crushed the two Homunculi in place. Gluttony couldn't escape but I knew Sloth could. I once again clapped my hands and let alchemy do the rest. I admit, I had always thought Mustang's flame alchemy was pretty cool. So once, while I waited for him to come and let me report, I had snooped and read a few books on it. I couldn't do the actual Alchemy, it took years for that, but I could do small things such as this. I traded one air particle for another at a rapid pace, when doing this the air particles collided with the other causing friction, that friction causes heat and that heat raises the temperature in the room to very high levels. So now….I pressed my hands to the Homunculi, one hand on each, and they yelled in pain. The heat was as hot as Hell itself. I left them in the room, screaming from the heat. I felt bad, it wasn't my nature to be so, well, devilish. But I had to. I had to see Al.

I walked through the halls and keep an eye open for the other 4 homunculi. I thought it over and crossed out Greed. He had rebelled so he wouldn't be here. I am certain me not following the same path didn't effect him. I soon entered the main room. Father stood in the middle of it, tubes and wires stretched out from his chair and the room was only lit by a white light. Envy, and Lust were there. Lust seemed to be asking Father to kill me. She was scared, I knew it. I made my presence known and did my best evil smirk. "Scared Lust?" She glared and backed away. Envy laughed. "Ha! That pipsqueak is what's scaring you Lust! What a joke!" I ignored him and looked to Father. Yes…this was not Hohenheim. This was some…clone. Question was, who was he if not Hohenheim?

Alphonse followed behind his father and two military officers. In the dark hallways he felt weak, small, and fragile. But even though he felt this way he pretended to be cool and collected. They walked deeper in and Alphonse felt a dark aura in the air. It was thick and hard to explain. He felt like the world was crushing in on him, as if this was death itself swirling around in the air, choking and suffocating anyone who dared to enter. Just then the man with black hair and the military uniform slowed down to be at the same pace as Alphonse. Alphonse looked to him curiously and the man glared at the floor. "How long has Edward been a Homunculus?" Alphonse blinked in surprise before feeling the same anger as Roy. "Dad said that Edward's personality is a key to it. I remember his personality and knowledge changed when he was 6. He had left for something- I can't remember what- but a farmer found him passed out on the road. When he woke up, he wasn't the same."

Both Alphonse and Roy were overcome with memories and emotion. Alphonse's were memories of the old Ed and the monster that Ed was now. He thought of how much he hated this Ed. He felt hate and anger. Roy thought of the teen who would laugh and attempt to stay calm when Roy poked fun at him. He thought of how betrayed he felt. He felt confusion and grief.

"He and my family…they just gave me away. They didn't even fight it, they didn't object, they just let me go with you."

"I do and always will love my family. I wouldn't hesitate to die for them. And if me going with you makes them happy…then I am the happiest man in the world."

Roy clenched his fingers together so hard he thought he's break them. He followed silently behind Hohenheim and felt sick. The look in Edward's eyes when he said that made Roy want to protect him to no end, to make a boy with no one to look up to, look up to him. And the thought of that same boy being a monster, a murderer, a trick…it made him want to burn him to ash.

They walked deeper inside the dark hallway and they could all hear talking from one of the rooms. As they made it closer Alphonse had a tearing feeling. He felt like he was being split and it hurt. What was happening?

Father smiled at Ed. "Oh, it's a rather boring story. Now, you wouldn't happen to be Hohenheim's son, would you?" I nodded. Father nodded as well. "Well, what would you want from me?" I swallowed the sickness climbing up my throat and looked Father in the eyes. "I wish to join you." I saw Envy smirk before their was the sound of a gun being shot. I moved to the side just in time to avoid being hit. I looked and saw Hohenheim, Alphonse, Roy and Riza. All looked scared, but they hid it well behind a mask. All of a sudden the whole area was filled with gun shots and flames. Alchemistic spikes rose up and tried to hit me as the three Homunculi fought them all. In all the commotion I secretly protected Roy, Riza, and Alphonse. I never want to see them get hurt again. I never want them to die again.

Alphonse soon found himself leaning against the wall, the tearing feeling didn't stop and it burned so much. What's happening? he clutched his stomach and slide to the ground in pain. I'm truly sorry, Alphonse's eyes widened at the voice booming in his head. I truly am, please forgive me…but I must protect my brother. Alphonse could barely comprehend what was happening before his body shot up, a scorching pain over come him as he felt himself being pushed back and back through his mind.

Roy was ready to see if it was true. He couldn't help but feel hate as he walked slowly behind Edward. Was this boy really just a monster? Apparently so. Edward had told the Hohenheim look-a-like that he wanted to join him. He just wanted to destroy Edward now. He held his fingers in position, ready to snap.

Alphonse watched as they all fought and felt useless. Why did he feel like his? What was happening? He once again heard that familiar voice booming in his head. Please! Please let me out! I must protect brother! He's about to be killed! Please! Alphonse shook his head and suddenly felt that spike of pain again, as if he was being stabbed straight through the head. Alphonse felt himself crying from the pain. The two military officers had called backup and there were many officers here now. They all fought, some dropping dead right before his eyes. Please…I can stop all of this. Please, please let me out.. Alphonse thought it over, a sudden knew thought came to him. This fight will only end with death. Everyone here that came to defeat the Homunculi, they all thought this battle would end quickly. They thought that after this they would all be home, all safe from harm. But Alphonse saw how the Homunculi were restless, and how as humans, they would all eventually tire. Alphonse couldn't believe it, but if whatever was in his head, could help them, he'd let it out. How does he do that though? Don't worry. Just clap your hands. Alphonse blinked in confusion but did as he said. He clapped his hands together and this time, he felt so much more power than he normally did. His hands seemed to slam to the ground without his permission and the ground shook. Their was a bright flash, and a gate appeared. Standing in front of it was a figure, he couldn't describe it, it looked like nothing, but everything.

The Gate opened and Roy stared in shock. Ed was suddenly shaking. Then it stopped and Ed fell to the ground, limp. Alphonse began to shake as well, he fell to the ground coughing up blood and Riza ran to help him. Before she could get there, Alphonse fell limp as well. Then the Gate abruptly shut closed. The country now shook.

AN: I feel almost sad at how i pretty much just destroyed the contry. But oh well, it won't exsist in a bit. Next chapter is the last one, and then you can all decide if there should be a third installment or if I should leave it and work on the other ending's sequal. Personally I think you'll all love the next chapter;)

Healer- Thanks for pointing those errors out. I was in a rush when i wrote it and didn't check it. And books just do that i guess. Now if only every other person could read and enjoy it.

Chibi-chan- I can understand that. The only reason i can get internet is because i use the signal from my neighbors. Shhh, don't tell xD
