Driven by Dreams Chapter 10: Separated, a fullmetal alchemist fanfic

I used a lot of time on this chapter, and still I feel something's wrong-.-'

Anyway, onto the story!

I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are very OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter 9

Separated

It didn't take long time before Roy snapped his fingers together and made flames surround the enemy standing in the doorway.

"RUN!" one of the adults yelled, and the entire group ran all they could down the wrong way. Winry and Edward started to fall back as Edward wasn't strong enough to keep up with the others, and Winry knew he would fall if she let go of him. Alphonse and Mei stopped once they noticed how the two of them was falling behind. It sure was a good thing they did, or else they would never have noticed that the three men from earlier followed them.

Mei drew a quick transmutation-circle on the ground in front of her, before tossing her knifes at it. The girl then touched the whole thing, making a circle appear on the wall a little down from the place they stood. The wall started to crumble as she pressed more energy into the transmutation. Shortly after, the whole thing gave up and felt down; blocking the way the enemy had to use to catch up with them.

Unfortunately, this didn't seem to stop their enemy very much.

A loud boom could be heard from the blocking stones as some rose to the roof.

"Come on!" one of the grown-ups called out, all of them waiting for the four children to move away from the danger.

Before they could get away had the leading man showed up on the other side of the fallen wall, followed closely by his helpers, or maybe pawns was a better word on them.

Mei somehow noticed the transmutation-circles the man had on the inside of his hands, most likely tattooed in, before he put them together and picked up a stone.

The girl knew she couldn't move away from the flying stone. Then it would most likely hit one of her companions. But before she could even think about how to stop it, had Alphonse jumped in front of her and dragged her away from it, hiding her behind his back. The girl then noticed that Edward and Winry also had moved away from the flying stone, leaving it to hit the floor between them and the others.

Smoke filled the room once again, and when it finally disappeared, all that could be seen at the place it had hit, was the labyrinth that was the underground. It wasn't exactly a labyrinth, since every way leaded somewhere outside of town, but from a bird's point of view, it was a labyrinth.

The stone-bomb the man had made had ruined the floor between the children and their grown-ups companions, making their only hope to jump over to the other side.

A sparkle of flames passed them and hit in front of the enemy behind them.

"Jump!" Riza's voice called out to them as about ten stone-spikes followed after the flames, aiming for the enemy.

"We will catch you," Maria told them as she, Denny and Riza held their hands out to help them over.

Winry let go of Edward, who finally seemed strong enough to stand on his own feet. The girl looked back, only to see the man's pawns coming toward them, before she took her decision. She sprinted the short way over to the end of the floor, before she jumped out over the hole. The three children on the other side watched as she flew through the air and right over to the other side, only saved by the waiting hands.

Alphonse nodded to Mei to follow the first girl, and he and Edward followed her with their eyes as she did the same as Winry. She too made it over with no problems.

Edward looked over at his brother, his eyes telling him to jump over first. Alphonse only stared back, his eyes telling the other boy exactly the same. It was in that moment that the man's pawns caught up with them and the man decided that he didn't have any use of any of them.

He clapped his hands together, making the circles touch each other, before he made the whole corridor fell down into the labyrinth.

Mei blinked some times before she opened her eyes completely. She was lying in the labyrinth somewhere. And by the sound of it, she was not alone. Other people's breathing hit her ears as she rose from the ground to get a better look at the situation.

The first thing she noticed was that Alphonse was not there. It wasn't that weird when she thought about it. After all, he and his brother had been standing on the other side of the hole.

The next thing she noticed was that she missed him. The boy had saved her life up there, and he was her only real friend in this country, except from Xiao Mei, who they had left behind at the inn with the rest of their items.

Around her started the others to wake up as well. Not all of them were there, only she, the man called Armstrong and the girl from the prison, Winry.

The first thing Riza noticed once she woke up from the fall was the pain in her back from hitting the ground so hard.

Then, she feared for her boss. Was he down there too? Was he hurt?

She opened her eyes quickly and looked all around her. Roy was starting to wake up right next to her, looking just as lost as she felt. What did they do now? They had promised to watch both the boys, now both of them were gone. All of the children were gone.

It was only her boss, Denny, Maria and herself down there.
