The Invisibility of Edward Elric
Chapter Ten – Revealed?!
Remember who you are. Edven...not Edward. If you want to be the normal you...join them. It's the only way to get back your Amestrian blood. It's the only way to get back your brother and know that he's going to be safe from these two dangerous men. So what will you do?
Ed's head rose, revealing his red eyes and a light smile appeared on his face. His Auto-mail hand met Scar's.
"Deal..."
Why did he have to say that? Why would he even think that? Even he knew deep down inside that he would never side with Scar? What made him think that he would be able to do that? Just because he was a completely different person on the outside didn't mean that his inner self had changed either!
After his agreement with Scar it wasn't long after that the military came and began to search not only the Alchemist killer but for Edven as well. Once the three had noticed that the military had arrived, Scar and Sezzen decided that it was time to leave immediately.
"Do you remember what your task is Edven Malian?" Scar questioned.
Ed nodded trying not to look him in the eyes. With one more look at the boy, Sezzen and Scar left and ventured into the night. Ed was unaware where their destination was but then again he really didn't care.
"Sir, I think I see someone!" that voice belonged to the Alchemist he had saved earlier.
The door slowly opened and looking down on him was the Colonel and his brother.
"E-Edven?" Alphonse ran down over to him. He had his head down in his lap and he could see a bruise on his arm and a slight cut on his cheek.
"Hey look up at me...are you alright?" Alphonse tried helping him but there was no response out of him. That was when the Colonel stepped in. He leaned down in front of him and looked at him.
"You know it's okay to be upset. You don't have to hide your tears."
That made Ed flinch, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you..."
Mustang smirked, "I've been into hell its self kid. I think I know what you're going through. Now come on. Let's get your injuries taken care of and then you can come over to my home. I think we all need to talk anyway..." he stood up and walked out of the room. That was when the investigators took over.
~ Mustang's Home ~
Ed hadn't expected to see Hawkeye and Winry in Mustang's home when he arrived. It was like everyone was here and had eagerness written all over their faces.
Alphonse and Mustang were the first to enter the home. Ed was still hesitant and was standing in the doorway. When the Colonel noticed he signaled Ed to come in and have a seat. He nodded, and still looking at the floor joined everyone in the living room.
Mustang and Hawkeye were sitting across from him while Winry and Alphonse were on both sides of him. It was like they were trapping him.
"I know that I said I wouldn't ask about your origins, but I feel like you're hiding something from me. You won't look at me in the eyes and you're barely talking to anyone. What's going on and has something happened that we don't know about?"
Wow. Mustang was getting straight to the point. That was what Ed always secretly liked about the Colonel.
For once Ed was actually looking at everyone. The main thing he had been noticing was the Winry had been looking at his covered up Auto-mail the entire time. Meyu didn't tell him that that would also be one of his problems.
"Nothing is wrong." Ed finally said.
Mustang shook his head, "No, there is something wrong. You see, the State Alchemist said that you could use Alchemy? Is that right?"
Ed felt his gut twist. Was he slowly trying to uncover who he really was? Did the others already know it was him?
"The man was hallucinating. I didn't use Alchemy...I can't use Alchemy."
"You used it without a circle..." Alphonse was speaking now, which shocked Ed even more.
"W-what?" Ed stood up and looked at everyone "That's impossible. No one can use Alchemy without a circle!"
"No one...no one but..." Mustang's face shifted to a smirk.
"But the Fullmetal Alchemist." Alphonse was the one to say it. He said it. Not Mustang.
Ed began taking small steps back towards the door. But when he turned around, he saw that Hawkeye was guarding it.
"I'm Ishbalan! I'm not Edward Elric! You have to believe me? Why would I lie about something like this?"
"I don't know...Havoc why don't you and Armstrong come on out!" Mustang signaled.
From the other room Armstrong and Havoc entered and stared at him.
"We did some investigating, Edven. Mustang was already having his suspicions about you." Havoc said with a smile.
Ed fell to his knees. Surprisingly he was looking at Winry with a smile on his face, "Isn't there something you want to say to me too?" he asked.
"That Auto-mail is the same model I made for Ed the last time he was in Resembool." That was all she had to say. Half of here was upset, but then again she was incredibly happy. She had already accepted that in her mind, Edven Malian was the missing Edward Elric."
After that there was a long pause, until Alphonse walked over in front of him and leaned down.
"Brother? Please tell me. Is that you?"
He was about to say it. Tell them everything. But it was already too late.
SLAM! BLAST!
Shattered glass went everywhere and Mustang's home shook hard. Everyone covered their ears and shielded their heads from the glass. After the loud explosion, they all began to hear loud footsteps.
"Well, I knew that that wouldn't last long. It was a good thing that Scar already knew that you weren't Ishbalan!" Ed opened his eyes and followed the voice with his eyes.
Standing in front of a broken window was Sezzen and Scar. Ed stood up and clapped his hands, transmuting his Auto-mail. Dust was surrounding the three of them and it was impossible to see the others.
"But honestly, I already knew who you were myself." Sezzen laughed.
"W-what are you talking about?" Ed spat.
Sezzen laughed and stepped into the home and approached Edward. Ed backed away, hoping that the Colonel or someone would help him out. But when he turned around Scar had appeared behind him from out of the dust. That was when Scar hit Ed as hard as he possibly could in the head.
Ed's body fell limp on the floor. Is that what had happened to the others? N-no...where were they? Before his vision blurred out completely, he heard Sezzen say one more thing. And that one thing changed it all.
"Meyu...is my little sister."

Wow! Is your mind blown or what? XD Sorry it took so long! I had a short writers block but it's all gone now. So you're probably wondering, "Oh since he's been revealed...how much longer does this story have?" Well, I'm going to cram everything into two more chapters maybe three! So thank you everyone that reviewed and followed and stuff! I'll post near the end of the week and that should finish up Invisibility! What do you think is going to happen next?
P.S. That deal didn't last very long did it? :3
