Fullmetal Alchemist: Alchemy & Automail

Chapter 10 - She's My Savior

A/N: I looked at some FMA info and saw that it takes one to three years for healing after automail surgery, but the tournement finals are coming closer so I need to make the healiing faster (about hours or days), but in a way it makes sense! Enjoy and R&R!

"Hello, Edward Elric!"

"Why am I here?"

"Who knows!"

"This is a dream isn't it?"

He laughed, "Correct."

"I don't want to be here, so I am leaving!"

"No one can save you from this place or from your thoughts! This is what you get!"

"W-What do you mean?" Ed suddenly collapsed on the ground. He noticed his right leg and left arm were gone.

"Why did my arm and leg disappear!?"

"Oh, Edward Elric, there is so much you need to learn!"

"What-"

He and Ed suddenly heard faint drips come from everywhere.

Ed noticed the frown that appeared on his face, "What are these sounds?"

Ed could reconize those drips and smiled, "You said no one could save me! You can get saved from anything, if you have a strong bond with the savior!"

"Heh..."

"This dream is over!" Ed turned his back as the room shattered into pieces and turned pitch black. He saw a faint light from the distance and ran towards it. Everytime he took one step, everything was getting brighter and brighter until Ed had to shut his eyes when the brightness got heavy.

Ed slowly opened his eyes and saw someone's face on his chest. Ed instantly knew who it was by her blond hair. He could also hear the cries she gave off while she gripped his shirt.

"W-Winry..."

She heard the voice, the voice she longed to hear ever since the accident. A giant grin grew on her face. She pinched herself to see if this was a dream, but nothing happened. She was relieved that this was reality. She burst out with tears as she hugged the boy with all her power.

Ed felt his breathing get cut short, "I am sufficating here, Winry!"

She blushed with embarrassment, "Shut up!" She loosened the hug, but didn't let go of him and Ed knew she wasn't going to for along time.

Few minutes passed and Winry was still holding Ed. He sighed, "You know I enjoy your hugs, but how long are you going to stay like that?"

"Ed, you should let your lover show you affection!"

He smiled, "So let me show mine!" He forced himself out of her hug and to her surprise, he gave her a heart warming kiss and grabbed her into a hug of his own. A one armed hug. She blushed as she returned his hug and kiss.

"My lips touching yours, I missed that so much!"

"Me too, I almost kissed you countless of times when you were sleeping!" She laughed, but paused when she noticed Ed had his eyes widened.

"What's wrong, Ed?"

"When I was sleeping?"

"Oh, did that sound weird?"

"Maybe!"

"I'm so-"

He pressed his lips on hers to shush her, "There is no need for those two words!"

He pulled away, only to be pulled back in by Winry, "Don't let go! It's been along time since I tasted those lips!"

"Along time? How many hours have I been asleep?"

Ed noticed Winry was staring at him like he said something stupid. He could tell because that's the look she always had given him when he said something stupid and he says alot of stupid things, "It's been three days, Ed!"

"WHAT!?"

She giggled at his sudden out burst, "It's okay, just calm down!"

When he relaxed, she felt it was the perfect time to tell him about what she, Pinako, Mei, and Al did.

"Hey, Ed..."

He noticed her voice get lower, "What is it?"

"You know how I was studying automail and learned a boat load of things. Also that I was making automail legs and arms."

"Yeah?"

"Well, when you were sleeping, w-we d-did a-automail surgery!"

Ed's eyes widened, "What?"

"It took two days without any sleep, but we did it!"

"B-Bu-But aren't you supposed to feel pain when going threw the surgery! There is no way I went asleep threw that! I would had woken up, but why I didn't?"

"You tell me! You were asleep, but you didn't move or react to any of the pain that someone would had normally had felt when going threw the surgery."

"Wait..." Ed thought about the dream he had about the gate and that oddly white figure who claimed to be everything, "Was that dream real or fake? Or maybe I was unconsious!"

"Oh, Ed, I am able to attach a automail arm and leg to you now that the surgery has healed!" Ed looked at Winry's excited face. He wasn't now that a new thought came to mind.

"Um, Ed-"

"Wait, there is something else I need to know!"

[Flashback]

"So, Winry!"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me more about this automail surgery you learned."

"Fine. Automail surgery is extremely painful and takes a really long time to heal before you can finally attach automail. It has to by a automail and medical expert!"

"Wow!"

"But I am no expert, not yet that is. I still need more learning to do!"

Ed wrapped his arms around Winry's neck, "When the time comes that you will have to do a automail surgery, I know it will be successful!"

Winry blushed as she kissed him, "Thank you, Ed!"

[End of Flashback]

"What is it, Ed?"

"You told me that it takes a long time for someone to heal from a automail surgery, but according to the time I have been asleep, it took three days!"

"Ehh, not quite! Try a couple of hours!"

His mouth opened wide, "WHAT THE CRAP! HOW?"

Winry placed her hand underneath her chin trying to remember how, "Oh yea, it was a red stone!"

"What? A red stone?"

"Well you see, Al and Mei found a stone in the water when they were out by the river! Al told me that he read about this stone in a document your father had. He said it was called a Philo-something. The name was faded so he couldn't see everything!"

"How does this have anything to do with the surgery healing!?"

"First thing, Mei is able to use alchestry healing or something like that. She able to heal serious wounds and other things!"

"Really! What else?"

"Now, the healing after a surgery normally takes from one year to three years, but when Mei combined her alchestry healing and alchemy with the stone, she increased the healing speed by ALOT!"

"So, from years to hours! That's a strong stone!"

"Yeah, Mei said she felt humongus power when holding it."

"What happened to the stone?

"For some reason it disappeared right after Mei had used it. It's like she used all the power at once!"

He nodded, "Well, that explains that!"

"When do you want your arm and leg to be connected? Remember, Ed, you have two days left before the finals!"

He facepalmed himself, "How could I forget! Attack them now, Winry!"

She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will come back with the arm and leg!"

He mumbled, "Thank you!"

"For what?"

"For saving me three times today!" He remembered that it was her crying that got him out of the unwanted dream. Also the automail surgery and automail arms and legs.

"Winry, your my savior!"

She blushed and smiled, "I will be right back!"

A/N: The philo-something sounds interesting! He wasn't awake for the surgery, but he will be for the attachment! lol Thanks and R&R
