Anyways, reviews are very much appreciated so REVIEW!

Greed was already waiting for him. Al was still on Loa's back and Martel inside Al. Dorchette was just grinning at him as Edward stopped to think of a way to gat Al back, but was soon interrupted by Armstrong arriving and ruining it.

"Loa, make an escape hole." Greed ordered him. Loa carefully put down Al and ran against the wall just to make an escape.

"Let's go!" Greed said but Loa and Dorchette stayed.

"What are you waiting for?" It was obvious the irritation in Greed's voice but was surprised at their reaction.

"You go Greed, we will hold them back." Dorchette answered as Greed escaped with Martel taking control once again of Al's body and moving him to where Greed was going.

"Al!" Edward screamed as he ran towards him. Dorchette quickly moved to be in front of Edward to not let him go to Greed. Ed growled and transmutated his automail into a blade. Armstrong soon joined him as well in the battle attacking Loa.

Armstrong tried not to get hit by Loa but was hardly easy since all Loa would do was to grab Armstrong by the arms and pushing him to a wall. Edward was just bothering in defending himself from the deadly katana but soon kicked Dorchette in his torso and made his way to the opening on the wall.

Once again Loa pushed Armstrong to a wall making it crack and getting some rocks on top of the both of them.

Greed was still running with Al and Martel following close behind until Greed stopped abruptly. They had more company.

"Running away from someone, Greed?"

"Greed, who are these people?" Martel asked not recognizing any of the three who were in front of them.

"Hey kid, take Martel to a safer place." Greed addressed to Al who nodded and ran.

"Wait! Greed!" Martel started screaming but not trying to get out of Al.

Once they were out of sight Greed spoke again.

"What do you want?"

"We no longer want you in this world, Greed." Dante said. She was now in her new body she stole. Next to Dante were Obsession and Lust.

"Well, sorry about that but I do not intend to die until I get what I want." Dante smirked and took a step forward.

"We'll see about that." She answered.

Al was still running until he and Martel heard a scream. He stopped and looked back.

"That must have been Greed." Al suddenly said. To his surprise Martel stayed silent.

"Martel? Are you okay?" Al asked concerned.

"Yeah… Al, I think it would be better if I leave from here." Al was shocked; he never expected to hear that from Martel. He was expecting more of a fight to go back and avenge Greed's life, but instead she didn't and decided to run away. When Al didn't answer, Martel continued.

"I'm sure to find you later Al. I just need time…but in case I don't come back I want you to know that…" She never finished saying what she started. She just got out of Al and ran away.

Al was sure that he would see her soon, but still he hoped she hadn't run away.

Edward was running after Al until he heard a scream. He knew it wasn't Al's scream but still wanted to know if he was involved in with that scream he just heard.

He started running as fats as he could but when he got there he saw the one thing he never expected to see.

Greed was on the floor, on top of some kind of transmutation circle. A light read liquid coming out from his mouth, not blood but more like…Red water, Ed thought. Greed was twitching until he finally stopped and vanished into more of that red liquid.

That wasn't the only thing that disturbed Ed, what it did was who were the ones there. Lyra was there which surprised him. What does she have to do with the homunculus? Ed thought. But then again when he turned to see the one next to Lyra surprised him even more. Eryka? Now what does she has to do with the homunculus? Next to Eryka was Lust, but that was no surprise to Ed.

He was well hidden behind a tree but still afraid some of the homunculus might see him. He really didn't want to fight any of them right now.

"Obsession, make sure to clean up the mess." Lyra said to Eryka. Obsession? Does that mean she is also a homunculus? Before Ed could hear something else someone pulled him by the arm and started running.

"What the-" He tried saying but then noticed who it was.

"You need to get back to your brother and get out of here before they see you."

"How did you get here?" Ed asked him as soon as they slowed down a bit.

"I followed you. I knew that you would be in a fight with Greed but you could take him. But not Obsession, not to mention Dante." Amelia responded still pulling on Ed's arm.

Suddenly they stopped and Al was soon in front of them.

"Brother!" Al cried as soon as he saw Edward coming.

"Al! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, she found me and told me to hide." Al said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"You were also following my brother?" Edward asked Amelia.

"No, I just found him when I was following you. Though I might say that you are very unpredictable." Amelia said with a smile. At that time Ed never saw her smile or even show any emotion at all. Even if her face was still covered by the hood he knew she showed no emotions at all, until now.

"Why are you doing this?" Edward asked not trying to sound harsh but it did. Amelia looked down and then looked up answering Ed's question.

"Not now Elric. We have to worry more about getting you and your brother safety to Central than staying here with the homunculus behind our backs."

"No, we can't go to Central, the homunculus might be looking for us there." Amelia shook her head and started arguing.

"No, that's what they want you to think and get you out of Central so it will be easier for them to fight without having the military looking for them as well. That's their plan, to get you in Ishbal. They will be waiting for you there and we can't risk it, at least not now." Ed nodded in understatement but Al didn't seem to buy it.

"And how do you know they expect that from us? How do you know their plans?" Al asked coldly.

"Al!" Edward yelled at him to stop him and to apologize but never did.

"I'll explain later Alphonse, but not now." She started walking leaving both Elrics in confusion.

"Winry-" Ed started saying over the phone.

When Al got kidnapped he left Winry to stay with Mrs. Hughes so she wouldn't be in danger.

"Ed! How is Al?" Winry said cutting off Ed.

"He's fine, we got him back." Ed answered. There was a long pause before Winry spoke again.

"Ed…" She started saying but stopped.

"What's wrong Winry?" Ed asked as soon as he heard Winry crying.

"I-there's a…funeral…we must attend to." Winry said between sobs.

"Funeral? Winry? Winry!" Ed started screaming but before he knew it Winry had hung up. Ed sighed and wondered who might have died. Even if he was still furious with Roy about what happened the other day he still hoped it wasn't his funeral. Ed started pacing around the room thinking if maybe it was Roy's death. Tears started forming in Ed's eyes as he thought about. He was now regretting not giving Roy a chance to kiss and make up. What if that was the last memory he was going to get from him? No, he didn't want that. Not even in a lifetime.

"Brother? What's wrong?" Al asked as Edward looked up and saw tears running down his cheeks.

"Al…someone died."

"What? Who?" Al asked concerned.

"I don't know Al…" Ed started looking everywhere but his brother.

"Then we need to go to Head Quarters and ask!" Al said urgently. Ed just nodded and walked out of the room with Al following him.

They reached Head Quarters and Ed didn't waste a minute to run to the Colonel's office. He opened the door and stepped inside. No one was there except for Lieutenant Hawkeye, which was crying her eyes off.

"Ed! Alphonse!" Hawkeye said surprised as she got up from her seat leaving a tissue on the desk.

"We were so worried about you two. We thought something happened to you." She then stopped talking as she noticed that Edward was crying as well.

"Ed?" He noticed that Hawkeye was dressed differently.

"Ed? Are you okay?" She asked as Ed stepped back. The Colonel was not here which meant that there was a chance that Ed's thoughts were true. Everything fit perfectly. Hawkeye dressed for a funeral. Roy not being in his office with the Lieutenant. It was Edward's worst nightmare. Ed dropped to his knees and started crying even more.

"Brother!"

"Edward!" Both Hawkeye and Al said at the same time. Riza rushed to be next to the alchemist but suddenly stopped when the door to the bathroom opened. Edward didn't notice since he was crying harder and shaking even more. Someone approach him and put an arm around him making him look up. He the saw the one person he thought he might never see again.

"R-Roy…" Ed started saying but then buried his face on the man's chest and hugged him tightly.

"T-they said that…someone died…I thought…I thought it was you…I was so scared…" Roy sighed and started stroking Ed's hair.

"I will never die until I said good-bye to you." Roy answered as he now felt his chest wet by Ed's tears.

"I'm sorry…" The boy apologized which startled Roy.

"Why are you apologizing? I should be the one apologizing to you."

"Yeah I know, but you are too much of a bastard to do that." Ed replied as he looked up at Roy and smiled at him. Roy gave a small smile back but then faded right away.

"Roy? What happened?" Ed asked but Roy just hugged him tighter and buried his face on Ed's shoulder.

"Roy? Roy, you are scaring me. What happened?" Ed asked again but just felt Roy sobs silently.

Ed looked up to Riza to get an answer but she just looked down as well.

"Hughes…he's…he's…he is the one who died, Edward." Roy tried saying. Ed said nothing but started sobbing again. Not as hard as he had before he knew Roy was alive, but still he cried for Hughes.

Everyone was leaving now from Maes Hughes funeral, but Roy stayed. Edward decided that it would be a better idea to be next to him for support since Hughes was his best friend, not something that could be replaced in a day.

"Ed," He heard Roy break the silence.

"You are the only thing I'm hanging on to in this life…so-"

"I'm not going to leave you and if I do…I'll make sure to come back to you." Edward answered before Roy had a chance to finish what he was saying. Roy looked down at him and took his hand on his. They both turned around but stopped as soon as the both of them saw Amelia on the other side of the cemetery leaning on a tree, watching both of them carefully. Or at least that's what they could think of since they still couldn't see where she was looking at with the hood covering half of her face.

They remain a few second like that, until Amelia moved forward and started walking towards them.

Both Ed and Roy said nothing until she reached them. She walked past them and put beside Hughes grave some lilies. Without turning around she spoke to Roy and Ed knowing that they were still behind her watching every move she made.

"Lilies mean death." She suddenly said and then turned around amused by Roy and Ed's confusion.

"Is better if you stay with the Colonel, Elric. The homunculi are still looking for you." Then she walked away.

"How does she know about the homunculus?" Roy asked surprised. He thought that only him and the Elric knew about this, but apparently not.

"It's a long story." Ed just answered as he started remembering their conversation.

(FB)

They were walking to their dorms but still were far away.

"So now tell us what you know about the homunculus." Edward demanded.

"I know enough," Was her only answer.

"How did you know about them?" Al asked now. She grinned before she answered,

"You don't want to know."

"We do." Both Elrics said at the same time. When she said nothing else they knew she was going to ignore that question so they asked the next one.

"How do you know us?"

"I was sent to keep an eye to both of you. Maybe so you wouldn't do something stupid again." She answered as if she knew about how they tried human transmutation on their mother. But how?

"What do you know about us?"

"Enough to say that you are stupid." She answered again without hesitation.

"Is that going to be your answer all the time?" Ed asked annoyed that they weren't getting any information from her. She just glared at him and then returned her gaze to their path.

"Fine, then tell us who sent you." Amelia then stopped and looked to the floor as if embarrassed.

"You are going to answer this one if you don't want to be chopped off in pieces." Ed warned.

"Brother!"

"Tell us!" Ed insisted as he grabbed Amelia by the collar. Amelia quickly hit his hand and pushed him.

"If you want to know so bad then go and find that out for yourself!" Amelia yelled at Edward.

"We just want to know." Al answered.

"It's someone your brother has hated ever since he left the both of you…but especially your mother." She then walked away without another word spoken.

"Did she mean-"

"Forget it Al. I seriously doubt that bastard is trying to protect us now." Ed answered as he headed to his own dorm.
