Hi, everyone!

This is the second last chapter of this story, and I hope you will enjoy it^^

I'm sorry for my horrible grammar and that the characters might be OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, beside Angel, Sol, Christian, Alexander, Elizabeth, David and Melissa.

Chapter 10

The Final Battle

Before anyone could do anything, Angel had turned around and left the room, banging the door open.

She ran down the corridor, trying hopelessly to find the door leading outside. There was only one thing on her mind;

Christian.

The girl didn't even notice that Winry, Mei and Ran Fan came up to her side; that the three girls ran with her in search for the exit.

Then, someone stepped in front of her.

"Ang, stop!" Elizabeth's voice said, calling her back to the surrounding world.

"You won't find him; Christian and Alexander both went with the army once they heard about the battle-plan, so did the other boys. David's only here because he can't fight with a gun or any other weapons," she told them, trying her hardest to stop them from going any other steps.

Angel stared at her cousin for some seconds, before she lowered her head in shame.

"Sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking for a moment," she whispered, almost crying.

So close. She had been so close.

"Come on, everyone. The enemy has started their attack, and we need everyone ready for one final battle," Colonel Useless said from behind the little group.

"Melissa, Elizabeth, David; right down the hall is my room. Can you wait there? I don't want Sol to get messed up in this," Angel told her family as the soldiers started to separate the group.

"That's fine, just come back again, okay?" Melissa said, smiling. Angel nodded as Riza started to drag her with her. Then, they walked around a corner, and her family disappeared.

Mei and Ran Fan had gone with some of the others; Mei for another part of the city-wall, and Ran Fan for the battle field.

"By the way, Riza; congrats with your wedding. I heard you are Mrs. Mustang now," Angel said as they walked toward the edge of the wall.

"Thank you," the woman said, a small smile playing over her lips.

"No problem."

Silence filled the fields as the two armies gathered against each other.

Angel watched the field with a worried look in her eyes.

"If you die on me now, Chris, I will personally drag you back to the living so that I can kill you myself," Angel whispered as she watched the army start to go toward the enemy.

"Some hope you have for your boyfriend," Riza commented from beside her.

"I'm fighting this battle for him, so he better survive it," she told the older woman back. Riza laughed; something she had never seen in the manga.

"Then I bet we do the same," she said, smiling in a weird way.

"Yeah, I bet we do," Angel said softly.

Then, the battle started.

Everyone from Amestris and Xing had got orders not to kill, only to take prisoners.

The army around the city wasn't big, so the enemy quickly got close in on it, giving Angel a chance to show off her knives. She knew she hit some guys in the shoulders or the legs, but she was careful enough to stay away from the deadly part of the body; Mei had told her how to keep away from them.

Bullets flew fast past them, only missing their targets with some centimeters.

The girl could see the horrible sight of people hitting the ground, knocked out cold by someone's blade or something.

Blood covered the fields, even if it wasn't the blood of dead people.

And the smell was enough for anyone to break down and throw up. Angel could almost taste her breakfast coming up again.

At a point, it looked like they were about to lose. The enemy had almost gotten inside the city; broken down the entrance-door. But then, in the last minute, the army from the undergrounds came up behind the enemy's base, taking control of the situation.

And then, the enemy gave a white flag, signaling that they surrendered.

"You guys made it!" Melissa screamed once she reached her cousin together with Elizabeth and David. Angel still stood outside on the city-wall, watching as the soldiers made their way back.

"Yeah, we did. They surrendered once they got pushed back against Amestris' army. I'm just glad it seems like no one got killed. . ." her voice died away once she felt the coldness of something familiar behind her.

The Portal is open. A voice whispered in her head, a voice she had last heard when she left Amestris.

The girl turned around and faced a huge mass of colour, almost like the one that had dragged her inside this world.

Your time is up; you can go back now.

"Angie, what is this?" Melissa asked as she eyed the huge portal. Angel turned her head slowly toward her cousin.

"Do you want to go home, Mel?" the other girl stopped to think it over some times before she answered;

"Mum and dad would be sad if I just disappeared," that was an answer enough.

"This is your way home, Mel, yours, David's and Elizabeth's."

"What about you? We came here to bring you back," her cousin's voice almost made her cry.

"I can't, Mel. I'm not done here yet."

Melissa nodded, before she gave her cousin a long and soft hug.

"I'm will miss you!" she whispered. Angel smiled sadly before she hugged her cousin back.

"I will miss you too," she told her, before her eyes went toward David.

"And you take care of my cousin, you hear me?" the boy didn't dare do anything else than nod.

"I'm staying here too, Lissa. After all, Alex is here, not there," Elizabeth said, shocking Angel more than a lot of other things that day.

Melissa started to cry again, before she hugged her sister for dear life, and for so to disappear through the portal hand in hand with David.

Elizabeth smiled after her sister as the portal closed, blocking her only way home. She then turned toward her cousin.

"I'm off to find Alexander. We will talk later, Ang," she smiled, and walked off.

Angel just shook her head; the world stood up-side-down today, it seemed.

She turned around again to look for her one reason to stay.

Already from the city-wall could she see him go inside. Angel turned around and ran down the steps, carefully not to push anyone else away.

"Christian!" she shouted as she made her way through the mass of people coming into the city.

Some of the soldiers complimented her fighting from the city-wall, recognizing her knives.

And there he was, the boy trigging her fantasies.

"Christian!" she shouted again, and this time the boy heard her. He turned around, just in time to catch her in his arms.

Angel buried her head into his chest, smiling brightly.

"Angel" he whispered in her ear, happily.

For a moment they just stood there, clinging to each other like the hat on a mushroom.

"I was so afraid that you had already disappeared, I saw the Gate, and. . ." he muttered. Angel laughed.

"Melissa and David went back to our world. But tell me; where should I have gone?"

"Home?"

"Silly Chris, I am home," she told him as she struggled deeper into his chest, allowing happy tears to mark his shirt.

Winry couldn't help but smile as she walked up the aisle. Her dress was beautiful, snow-white in colour. The flowers had been chosen to fit her eyes.

She could see all her friends smile at her from the crowd surrounding her, every single one of them.

Somewhere among them stood Angel and Christian, and the blond girl was able to catch a short look of something shiny on her friend's finger. She smiled softly once she noticed which finger the ring was on.

And then, her face turned toward the end of the aisle. He stood here, waiting for her. His golden hair carefully pulled back in a ponytail, golden eyes shining like there was no tomorrow. He smiled a smile only for her, and Winry knew her life was perfect.

A/N: Hope it was worth some of your time^^ The next one is the last to go. Sorry for the short fighting-scene; I had plans on making it bigger, but writing fighting isn't my strongest side. . . -.-'

By the way; Did anyone catch what was inside the box Christian bought in our world? :)

Anyway; thank you for all your support so far:)
