So I finally got this chapter out. I couldn't even touch it for the last few weeks I had so much work to do.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter.

Chapter 10: End

Dust settled. Ed coughed, sitting up slowly and glancing round at the devastation around him. Al and Roy were either side of him, his father was in front of him. Father had finished. All seemed unconscious. Ed quickly checked both teens pulses, satisfied that they were both alive he moved towards his father. Hohenheim was alive but his pulse seemed weak. Ed bit his lip and glanced round. He was in a structurally unsound building with four unconscious bodies and one arm. What was he supposed to do?

Roy stirred, sitting up and rubbing his head.

"What happened," he asked in a raspy voice.

"Dunno," Ed replied, his voice had a similar quality due to the dust in the air.

"Are they...?" Roy didn't finish his question as Ed just nodded.

"Riza?" Roy asked. Ed looked alarmed, he'd forgotten the girls presence in the room. Roy scrambled to his feet and rushed to her side, clambering over debris.

Placing his hand on her shoulder he shook her gently. She opened her eyes.

"Is it over?" she asked.

"I think so, you ok?" Roy replied.

"Yes, you?" she look pointedly at the blood stains on his shirt.

"I'll live." Roy smiled in relief and much to the blonde's surprise he threw his arms around her.

"Roy?" Riza asked, gently wrapping her own arms around him.

"I thought I'd lost you," he choked out.

"I'm not leaving you, ever."

"Good, don't you dare, ever."

Roy pulled Riza to her feet and they both made their way back to Ed. Al was sitting cross legged holding a tissues or something against a gash in his head. Hohenheim too had awoken, and was trying to get to his feet with the help of Ed. Roy leant his shoulder to the man and together the damaged group slowly made their way to the exit.

Dawn was just breaking as they exited the abandoned facility. The police car was still parked there as well as Hohenheim's car. The delight of being free was filling the teens but the sound of a voice, sent blood running cold.

"I'm not leaving without getting what I came for."

Roy swore, he'd forgotten how this had all started and now he looked at his abusive father holding a gun towards them and saw red. He stepped forwards and with his still gloved hand he snapped. The gun heated enough to make John Mustang drop the gun and then Roy ran forwards and slammed his fist into the man's already broken face.

"That's for Winry," he spat out. He kicked the man's legs out so John fell to the floor. "That's for Maes." He grabbed John's shirt and pulled him up and punched him again. "That's for Ed." Another brutal punch, "and that's for my own damn pleasure."

"Roy stop," his mother ran out of her hiding place. Roy glared at her.

"You are not my mother," he yelled, "he is not my father," Roy pointed at the man on the floor. "Now I am going back to my family and I never, I mean never, want to see either of you again, got it." With that Roy walked back to his friends. Riza slipped her hand into his and squeezed it.

Several police cars came whizzing into the courtyard at that moment. And suddenly there was a flurry of action. Police uniforms everywhere and through it all Trisha, Izumi, Sig and Mr Hawkeye appeared.

"Mum!" Al cried running towards Trisha, who received him with open arms.

"Al, I'm so glad you're ok." She sobbed, tears staining her face. She pushed him away enough to be able to see his face. She gently rubbed some of the blood from his wound off his face. Trisha glanced behind him to find her other son and gasped when she saw who he was supporting. She rushed to Hohenheim's side with Al just behind her.

Izumi looked at the boy she'd raised as her own. He was with his family, all of whom were now kneeling on the floor. She was happy he'd found her family but at the same time she knew he'd leave her and that made her sad. She glanced away and saw the police arresting two people who must be Roy's parents. She looked for her other charge; he had walked up to her with a weak smile.

"Think I finally got my own back," he said softly. Izumi reached out and rubbed is uninjured arm. Roy hugged her, leaning against the smaller woman. Izumi was surprised, Roy had never been one for physical shows of affection she brought her arms up around him and hugged back.

"Teacher?" Roy straightened and broke the hug at the sound of Ed's voice. Looking at the speaker Izumi smiled at him and before either could disappear she'd pulled both teens into her arms.

Ed looked at Winry warily. He was sitting on a hospital bed once again and Winry had just entered the room her head had clearly been stitched but she seemed fine at least fine enough that she was going to kill him for losing a very expensive automail arm.

"Look Winry, it really wasn't my fault," he started to explain but tears came to her eyes and she threw herself at him.

"Oh Edward, I'm so glad you're ok," she sobbed.

"Er...yeah," he replied awkwardly. He patted her back with his arm.

"Granny has already started making your new arm, I rang her straight away."

"Er great. Are you ok?" he asked. "Last time I saw you, you were unconscious."

"Oh I wasn't, I was pretending to be so I could get help," she answered, "I'm fine."

"Maes?" Ed asked, suddenly remembering the teen who'd been shot.

"He was hurt bad but the doctors think he'll make it," Winry answered smiling.

Ed Elric let out a litany of swear words as the alarm clock went off. He moved to grab the offending object but it was shut off before he could get to it.

"Morning," the cheery voice of his little brother rang out. Ed growled in reply. Al laughed and threw a clean towel at him. "Shower's yours."

The scene in the kitchen that morning was so domestic it made Ed smile. Trisha stood at the stove flipping bacon in a pan while Hohenheim made coffee, a paper held under his arm. Al and Ed both sat at the table, eagerly eating the food that Trisha put on the plates in front of them.

The weather was getting colder so both boys were wearing school sweaters under their blazers. A car horn honked outside and the boys both sprang from their seats. Trisha dropped a kiss on to each of their heads before they left, also taking the time to tighten and neaten Ed's tie.

"Be safe," she called as they exited the house, racing for the car that was parked at the end of the street.

"Good morning to you too," Roy grumbled as the two blondes piled into his car. Ed mumbled something that was probably rude from where he sat in the front seat, loosening the tie as he did so.

"How's your week with your parents going then?" Roy asked as he drove to school.

"Fine," Ed answered which Roy took to mean great. It had been decided that Ed would spend short amounts of time with his true family at least at first.

"Well it sure is quiet without you at home," Roy commented, which Ed took to mean as dull.

When they arrived at school they were greeted with the welcome sight of Maes, back at school for the first time since the camping trip.

"So there you are slacker," Roy commented getting out of his car.

"Good to see you too Roy," Maes answered.

Ed looked around and noticed the whole group was there. Winry came up and hugged him and then held onto his arm. He smiled at everyone. They'd been through a lot but they had all come out just fine. Maybe even better than fine, he thought, glancing at his little brother.

As I'm sure you worked out that was the last chapter. I hope everyone has enjoyed it and thank you for sticking with me.
