Kain stared at Dante. Joana who is Dante smirked. "The body I jumped into was dying from a illness. The woman's spirit had already moved on."
"And here I thought you abandon your homunculi." Kain smirked and brought the cigarette to his mouth.
" I would never" Dante said.
The blond looked down feeling heart broken. Envy was on his mind. Then the blond heard a voice echoing in his head. Edward, Listen to me. I want to help you. I'm sorry for controlling you like this.
The voice was Strife. Edward blinked and glanced behind him. Why are you helping me? Aren't you a homunculus?
Yes, I am. I'm tried of living as a slave. I do not hate humans. I want to live as one.
Edward blinked Really? Is there a way to get that bastard out of Envy's body?
Strife looked and down and closed his eyes. " No"
The blond paled and looked down. He felt more tears fall down his cheeks.
I'm sorry....really I am. I was scared. If I disobeyed that I would have been killed. I don't want to die. Its selfish I know. Hate me if you want to. I know nothing I do will deserves your forgiveness. I know that..
Edward blinked. Strife continued.
I will break my control on you. Stab me. I'll pretend to be dead. I know you can stop my master.
The blond felt his body being freed. Edward turned and stabbed Strife in the chest, the opposite of his heart. He laid the boy down. "Sorry" he whispered feeling guilty for stabbing him.
Kain turned and glared "How dare you! You filthy boy!"
The blond glared " Don't lecture me!"
Dante smirked and walked over to Wrath's cage.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Dante" Kain said forgetting about Edward. The blond ran to Envy's body. Kain growled and punch the blond, however Edward ducked and tackled him to the ground.
"Get out of his body!" Edward screamed. Kain growled and tried to change his arm into a blade but nothing happened.
"What the hell! Why isn't it working!"
Dante walked over after opening all the cages. "Whats the matter Kain? You can't use Envy's powers?"
Kain growled Dante continued. "That power is Envy's and Envy's alone. No one else may have it. You may be in his body at the moment...You're just renting. Soon Envy will throw your ass out."
" Your overestimating the strength of your ex-son" Kain said and kicked Edward in the gut and sent him flying. The other homunculi stood watching.
Kain got up and smirked. The sins were on the transmutation circle hidden under the carpet. So he have a human sacrifice to summon Calamity.
I won't let you.
Kain rolled his eyes. Do you think you can stop me Envy? You may of stop me from using your powers but I can still use mine. So sit back and enjoy the show!
Edward got up and held his stomach. His ribs were broken and so was his flesh arm. Kain knelt down and chanted. Dante growled and charged at him only to have Nightmare grab her and held her against the wall tightly. Kain continued and the carpet began to burn away.
Wrath looked down "What is this! " he tried to move but was frozen. "I can't move!" The other homunculi found they frozen as well.
Kain stood up. The light faded and the homunculi were set free. "What is going on? " Lust asked. "How can we move? "
Edward blinked and watched Kain. "Chibi..."
" Envy!" Edward tried to get up but he was in too much pain. "Envy! How long..do you have control?"
"Not long. I can stop him. Its just...I...." Envy walked over and knelt down and wrapped his arms around Edward and hugged him tightly. Edward's eyes widen.
"What are you going to do?" Ed asked shaking a bit. Envy stood and backed up. His hand turning into a blade. He sliced open his stomach and reached in.
"He is going to pull out the red stone!" Wrath yelled staring in horror.
" He is going to sacrifice himself. To stop the transmutation...and also to kill Kain" Lust said.
""NO!" Edward screamed. "Don't! There as to be another way! Envy! Remember! You promised me! Don't do it!" he tried to get up and then collapsed.
Envy closed his eyes and pulled out the stone. He broke into a thousand pieces. Edward watched in horror.
"Lets leave" said Pride who turned and took out his sword and sliced off Nightare's head. He caught Dante.
"Thank you Pride." she followed. Soon the other did as well.
Envy looked down at his fading hands. Edward got up despite the pain. He walked over to Envy. "I'm sorry Chibi...I just...wanted you to be safe."
Edward cried and fell. Envy caught him the best he could. The blond cried "I know....but its un fair! We are so happy together! I wanted to spent my life with you."
"Like a human?" Envy asked.
The blond nodded. "After I get Al's body back. "
"That sounds nice. " Envy said lifted up Edward's head. The blond could see through him now.
"Are you in pain?" he asked.
"Its beginning to fade." Envy said. He leaned down and kissed Edward tenderly. The blond felt tears run down his cheeks again. He couldn't feel Envy's touch anymore. He was gone. Just like that. The blond alchemist fell to the floor.
"Envy..." Edward curled up in a ball and wept.
"You ..." Malice started walking over with a gun. "My siblings! My master they are all gone! Its your fault human!"
Edward didn't move. He stared up at her.
"I will kill you, human" Malice growled. Then she froze and her eyes became blank and glazed. With a quick motion she put the gun to her stomach and shot her self many times until the stone inside her was destroyed.
Strife sat up, his chest healed. He stared at Edward who was now covered in blood. The blond got up, He stumbled away out of the door. He felt so bad right now.
**************************
The blond walked to Winry's house. Alphonse saw him from the window and ran outside " Brother!"
Edward blinked and walked over limping. He fell over as Alphonse caught him. "Ed!" he rushed him inside.
*************************
"His ribs are broken" Pinkao said, Winry sighed sadly watching Edward sleep. " His arm is busted too. He be in bed for a good couple of months." Pinkao continued.
Alphonse sighed " I wonder where Envy is."
"Dead" Edward spoke up softly. "He died"
"What?" Winry asked. "How?"
"Trying to save me...stopping a psychopath from unleashing hell on earth"
Winry blinked and knelt down. She hugged him carefully. "I know...you're in pain right now. Both physical and emotional. You should stay here from now on. Be with your family."
Edward returned the huge by using his automail arm. " I can't. I promise Al I will return him to his body. I will do it"
"Brother..." Alphonse spoke up.
" You should rest now Edward. " Pinkao said.
"Okay.." the blond said.
***************************
Envy sat in front of the gate blinking. "Is this limbo?"
"Something like that" said a voice.
"Who said that?" Envy glanced around. The voice was coming from the gate.
"I'm Truth or the deity inside the gate"
"Oh...So I'm really dead. Poor chibi...he was crying when I left him."
" You really love him didn't you?" said the truth.
"Yeah,,,I really did"
"That's a bit strange. You're a homunculus. You don't have those kind of emotions."
"Maybe I'm just a reject.." Envy said.
" I don't think so.."
Envy laid back "So what? I'm going to hell or something?"
"Well if you want. But that is a really bad place to be. Hot and cold. It can;t make up its mind."
"So I'm staying here and talking to you forever?" Envy asked blinking.
" No...I have a offer."
Envy's eyebrows raised a bit. " Really?"
"Yes. I will send you back to the world of mortals. If you let me have your powers. "
"My powers? I still have them? What about the crazy guy that stole my body?"
"Dead. His spirit was sent out of your body when you destroy the red stone."
Envy blinked "I see...So if I was to make this deal I will be sent back and I can see Edward?"
"Yes. Just no powers. No shape shifting, no healing instantly. You be like a normal human"
"Human eh?" Envy remember what Edward told him about living with him.
"You'll age and then die. Just like humans."
Envy blinked "Aging? Like get wrinkles...and gray hair?"
"Yes. That's what happens when humans get old."
" Fine...I just want to see Edward again."
"Good" the gate opened up and sucked Envy inside.
*****************
Envy woke up and glanced around. He was laying on something soft. He smelled dirt. Sitting up he looked around. The sun, the sky, grass. He was back. He stood up and glanced around. He was in a field outside of a town. He knew this town. "This..is Edward's home town"
Walking he headed to town. He looked around a bit lost. Some things looked different. Envy stood by a news paper stand and picked up a paper. Glancing down he read the date and his eyes widen. "Its been three years! What the hell!" he noticed the date again. "Its...chibi's birthday."
The green hair teen walked around blinking. He needed to find Winry's house. Then there was a gasp and Envy turned. He stared at Alphonse, who had his body back. He blinked "Envy...I thought..you died."
"I kinda did.." Envy snickered a bit. "Anyway...where is Edward?"
" He is at work. On the farm. Winry is there too. She is keeping him busy. We all are going to throw him a surprise party"
Envy blinked " Party...eh..I must attend! I came back just to see him. I gave up a lot you know"
Alphonse tilted his head blinking. "Really?"
"Yeah." Envy said walking over. "How old is he now?"
"Twenty...or he will be tonight" Alphonse said.
"Interesting...I know...I will be is present! " Envy chuckled.
" He needs a good one. Ever since you died. He been kinda down. He is too himself."
"His fiery spirit died with me....I will bring it back." Envy said.
Alphonse smiled "I know you will. So how are we going to introduce you?"
" Naked in a cake?" Envy asked.
"I think that will be too disturbing" Al said chuckling.
" Oh..right..party..with people."
We will let Edward have his party...Then when he goes to his room. You will be there laying on his bed. I think he have a heart attack. In a good way"
" Alright....can I be naked? "
"Please no...."
"Aww...alright.." Envy said laughing.
*******************************
Edward sighed walking in the house. Winry smiled and yelled "Surprise!"
The blond male blinked and tilited his head. "What for?" he asked.
Winry blinked "You don't know? Its your birthday silly!"
Edward blinked "Oh...I forgot."
"Don't tell you forgot how old you are too" Alphonse asked coming out with a cake. Pianko followed behind.
Edward shrugged and sighed. "You know I hate parties"
"Its just us. " Winry said. "Come on Ed! Loosen up a bit"
"You should have fun brother"
"Alright" Edward smiled. "I wanna get changed. My clothes smell like sweat"
"Alright. We will be waiting" Alphonse said.
Edward walked up stairs. He looked down and picked something up from the floor. It was a headband. It had three red circles that formed a triangle. "This...is his headband..." Edward blinked. He stormed down stairs "AL!!"
Alphonse blinked and turned. " What is it?"
"Look!" Edward handed him the headband. "Its Envy's!"
The younger brother blinked "Really? Maybe you should just go upstairs."
" Why are you so calm about this! It's Envy's headband!"
Alphonse blinked and saw Envy walk down stairs. Envy put his finger to his mouth. Alphonse looked at Edward.
"How can it be? Didn't he die?"
"Yes! So how is this here! It doesn't make any sense!"
Envy stalk closer to unknowing Edward silently.
Al watched him then looked down at Ed. " Maybe he came back to life."
"He can't! He destroyed the stone in his body that kept him alive! He can't come back! I watched him fade away!"
"I don't know Ed, Stranger things had happened" Alphonse said. Edward blinked "What are you talking about.
Alphonse turned Edward around and he was met by Envy's lips on his own. The blond eyes widen in shock.
Al walked back into the kitchen and let them be alone.
Winry watched from the kitchen door and Al was behind her. "Spying is fun"
Edward pushed away for a moment. "Envy! How! When! HOW????"
The green hair teen laughed "Calm down Chibi...You see...when I died. I was at the gate. It made me a deal. I came back...as a human"
"Human? You were gone three years...you do know that right?" Edward asked.
Envy shrugged "Time flows differently while floating in limbo. The gate has a weird sense of humor."
Edward smiled and hugged Envy tightly. "I can't believe you're back"
Envy smiled and leaned down kissing him again. The blond kissed back "Lets go upstairs...so spying eyes don't get a show"
" Alright" Envy said running up stairs with Edward. They were removing clothes on the way.
Alphonse cut a piece of cake. "Well...Edward will be preoccupied for the rest of his life...so..you want some cake Winry?"
Winry blinked and took it smiling. "When are you going to tell Ed that we are going to be married? He is the only who doesn't know. He is a bit dense...so of course he didn't notice the rings we are wearing. "
Alphonse shrugged and took a piece of cake for himself. "Lets tell him in the morning."
****************************
The bedroom became hot. They moaned as their bodies touched. Edward gasped panting a bit. Envy crawled up and laid beside Edward hugging him tightly. " Did you miss me?"
"Yes....it was very painful" Edward snuggled against Envy's chest.
" Well...no more pain. No more sadness. I'm here for you now. I'm not going to leave. Ever" Envy kissed Edward passionately.
"Forever..."
Fin.
