ok so I spaced out this chapter along with the next one.

We were at some cafe type place,"Brother what are we gonna do now?" Al asked Ed.
"I don't know Al lets just get some distance with that guy with the glasses," Ed told his brother.
A dog barked and we turned to see and army truck coming down the road. "Get down," Ed told Marco and Al when we turned around Ed hiding his automail arm, "Ma'am have you got a back door?" We found our way to an ally.
Even if this rain was really depressing it still felt as if it was washing away that problems a little bit. "What about eastern command and the colonel?" Al asked.
"No the Fuhrer and his cronies are there," I told him.
"People from central have been deployed here?" Marco asked.
"Like I said before just the Fuhrer and his cronies," I told the confused man.
"I don't understand is this for me?" he asked.
"It's not like that don't worry," Al said calming him.
We left the alley and saw some kids playing in the rain. I found myself smiling a little. I wished I could remember what happened when I was a kid. No, no you don't. There was that weird voice in my head again. "I can't do this,I've ran away from it long enough I will do it now I don't care if it kills me how can I when it's something I deserve." Marco said.
"I'm missing the connection why do you deserve death just because he's from Ishbal?" Ed asked.
"the rebellion right, Ed told me the colonel was sad about that too but why? Ishbal started that war for independence they lost lives too but so did the military?" Al's question following up his brothers.
"Every time we lost a war there'd be no end to it, it be a cycle without a point," Ed said.
"You're not listening, that was no war it was a massacre, the people of Ishbal are an ethnic tribe who worship Ishballa as the one and only god, they draw from a different history they see the world from a different lens, our world is sulfurs and nitrogen, science and math, we believe everything can be explained with numbers equivalent exchange is our sacred canon, but to them alchemy is a perversion of the world god has given us the devils merical corrupting man by putting us in Ishballa's place, as a result of this collision of views resistance movements would pop up from time to time one day during a house inspection an officer of the military accidently shot and killed an Ishbalan child the incident became a rally massive riots and uprisings broke out all over the region. It was too much too fast the military couldn't control it's solders I guess more fuel to the fire it escalated into a full scale uprising that lasted 7 years until the Fuhrer had enough he sent in the problem solvers the state alchemist," Marco said.
"So what happened did the Ishbalans respond to your weapon?" Ed asked.
"They didn't," Marco said sadly.
"What?" I asked.
"Every gathering of a resistance the state alchemist were sent too, they were wiped out in a single night," The doc finished right as a kid yelled out in pain. Marco went over and started to help the kid. " During the war there were doctors that helped the wounded it didn't matter what side you were on Ishbala or the state they would treat you however they were casualties too, so I left with the philosopher's stone and all the research I collected to create them but I was too late the people of Ishbal had largely been exterminated that our military let only a handful survive," Marco finished.
"That's grim granite but that's no reason for him to come after you," Ed said.
I felt something other than the rain come down my cheek I quickly rubbed it away. "He wants revenge nothing can be more legitimate," Marco said.
"He's dragging people in who had nothing to do with it how can that be legitimate? He's a fraud a tirade of personal vengeance he hides behind this excuse of "god's will" so he can claim it's noble," Ed said a little angrily. "Still if someone took you away from me brother I think I might do the same thing isn't that equivalent exchange?" Al asked.
"Don't you ever talk about that all if you kill people the person that you are avenging wouldn't mysteriously come back! I'm new at this and even I know that's not how the principal works!" I yelled at him more tears falling down my face mixing with the rain water.
Ed spotted the crack in Al's armor and fixed it up with a flash of blue. "Doctor Marco why don't you let us hid you in our home town for a little while it's just 3 days on a train from here," Ed said a little hope in his voice.
"It might be hard on us going back there though," Al said.
Ed grinned and I bet Al would have to if he had a face. "Not at all we have friends there the Rockbells they make automail I'm sure they'll be-" Ed stopped at the look on Marco's face.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"No, no I can't go there I'm sorry!" He said running off.
We ran/wheeled after him. We caught up to him. "Marco it's your call we don't have to go to anywhere you don't trust," Ed said to Marco.
"No Ed their are other reasons I can't go there," Marco said to us. Roy killed Winery's parents and he blames himself. The voice was back! We heard running on the fire escape and when we looked over the scar dude (Scar) was back! He lunged at Marco and Al stopped him.
"This time I have an attack made just for you!" he yelled. He made Al's side explode and Ed and I yelled. Ed went over to punch him and I blacked out.
(Subconscious Addison)
I was back into my body. In a flash I summoned the holographic leg and grabbed Ed's flesh arm. But I was too late Scar had already exploded Ed's arm. "You bastard!" I yelled and attacked.
He looked surprised that I was up and about, he hesitated unsure what to do. I used the holographic leg and kicked him in his jaw. He wouldn't hesitate now. He grabbed the holo. leg and tried to make it explode or something but he couldn't it was like a holograph nothing can hurt it. In his confusion I punched him right in the neck. "You fucking bastard how dare you don't you realize a life doesn't equal a life. I punched him again but this time right between the scar. Scar kicked my legs out from under me and went for Ed. "Nooo!"
"You're right nothing can equal the loss of my brother and my people," Scar said.
Right as his arm started to light up something happened. Marco had used the philosopher's stone to stop Scar. Scar went for Marco but he threw the stone at him right in the palm of his screamed and I took my chance I got up and kicked him in the back. He started to run away but was stopped by the military. He used the sewer escape. The state alchemist came over to check the damage. Fury freaked out when he saw Al and Ed went over to him to ask if he was ok. "You idiot!" Al yelled punching him. "What was that for?" Ed asked. "Why didn't you run away when I told you to!?" Al asked/yelled. "Thanks Addie for saving my life, anytime Ed! Just being an awesome student!" I mumbled under my breath staggering up and getting to my wheelchair. I looked up and thought you can come back in but don't mention what happened ok. Ok was the response before I blacked out and found myself hovering above my body again.

I came back at when Al's arm fell off and "Oh this is perfect now my arms fallen off to! Today is a terrible day!" They finished their conversation and I smiled.
But when Marco had to go to the Fuhrer he just walked away saying thank you."What's with him?" Ed asked me.
"He couldn't go to your home town because the two doctor's were the Rockbells," I told him. When the lady spoke to get Marco in the car Al was surprised and said "brother I think I heard Mom's voice,"
"Come on Al you just had a brush with death don't go unstable on me now,"
