Chapter ten

I was going to update Friday, but things keep popping up unexpectedly.

&&&&&&&

After telling Roy, and Riza all what happened in the storage house included with the occasional interruption added with questions. Then they brought out the stone, and the look of astonishment came over their faces, and that led into the explanation of their next plan.

And so it was planned that Roy and Riza would be used as the distraction, while Ed and Al got Winry out of the hospital. And they had to do it…as soon as possible or she would die. The hospital's medicines wouldn't stop a DNA mixing with humans, only Alchemy.

And now they sat their explaining how they would get her back to normal.

"I've read before that there's a special transmutation circle, or array that would help split the two DNA's. And with the stone it would be even easier, because it would amplify our Alchemic power" Ed explained as he examined the small stone in his hands.

"But in Al's weakened state is he up to this task" Riza pointed out, Al pounded his fist lightly into the bed, and muttered a curse under his breath.

"Its takes such an enormous amount of alchemic energy, I sure as hell can't do it by myself" Ed said grimacing.

"Why does it take so much alchemic power?" Roy asked sitting in the chair beside Ed's bed.

"Think about it, your delicately pulling apart two mixed DNA's, and making it last only five minutes…hopefully. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it does take a large amount, and even with the stone...I mean the stones powerful and all, but not near as much as you think" Ed said.

"I'll do it anyway" Al said looking up at them all. "I need to do this; if Winry gets turned into a chimera…I don't know what I'll do. It'd just….Nina all over again, and I can't go through that…or watch Ed" Al said, and he caught Ed's eye. Ed was far off in memories by now, watching himself beat Shou Tucker over, and over again. Nina….got turned into a chimera, and he just like Al couldn't go through that again.

"We have to do this, for Nina, and Winry" Ed said, Al nodded his head in agreement.

"Okay then, where will you to go with her?" Roy asked twirling his thumbs in his lap.

"It would need to be abandoned, and located where no one can get it" Al said.

"What about laboratory five?" Roy asked.

"No the reaction with the enormous power of the alchemic energy, and the stone would clash with the red water" Ed said.

"Ed… I know the military is slow at things, but not that slow. The red water has been moved and hidden" Roy said smirking.

"Okay then, looks like where going to be at laboratory five" Ed said.

"Okay now you two can go see her, we'll do this tomorrow" Roy said, and he unlocked the door and walked out. Ed dragged his bad leg around still refusing to get in wheel chair. Al had no choice to get in one though, he couldn't even walk.

They looked at her through the glass, her air supply on her face (oxygen mask), and blood bag, and liquid bag. She had bandages around ankles, and wrist, and around her head. She was asleep right now though, and the brothers were glad that they didn't have to see her weird behavior that had become famous in the hospital. They found out later the doctors had induced her sleep with a shot. It would last long hours, which was good news for them; it would be easier to get her out of here.

&&&&&&&&&&&

After dinner the next day, Ed and Al requested to see her again, and they said yes. Both of them walked there this time, Al had trouble but, still got there nonetheless. Ed had the stone is his pocket, (their clothes had been washed and they had them on now). As they looked at her, Roy walked a few feet away, Ed winked at him and Roy nodded…they were ready.

Riza walked up clinging to Roy like she was in pain.

"Hold on" Roy said helping her stand up.

"I-I can't" Riza said, and she 'past out', but before she could hit the floor Roy caught her. Doctors swarmed around them, and nurses giving order, and doctors giving order to some of the nurses.

The hallway had a few people in it, most of them were patients, and the ones that were nurses were too preoccupied with other patients.

"What wrong with her?" one if the people around Riza asked.

Ed, and Al had dashed into the room carefully, but swiftly took off her mask, and other hook ups. Ed wrapped her in the sheet, he picked her up gently, and Al covered Ed with a blanket making Ed look like an old woman with a large bundle of laundry. They rushed out of the hospital as fast as possible as not too be suspicious, A few people glanced at them strangely, but they made it out.

Lab. 5 was only two blocks away from the hospital, so they didn't have all that far too run. They got there, and Al clapped his hands and the door disinigrated in front of them, and they got in.

Al helped Ed slowly lay Winry down still asleep, and bundled up in the white sheet. Ed reached in his pocket getting out the stone, and a small piece of paper. On the paper was an array, and Ed studied for a minute and then began drawing as he directed Al to help him. Al studied it too, and together they got the circle drawn. It was much more complicated than most circles, and they felt good about achieving something that had nothing to do with them for once.

"Okay...bring her over here in the middle…" Ed said. Al put Winry in the middle of the circle, as Ed thought. He put the stone on the runes, and symbols. Al glanced at Ed.

"You sure this will work brother" he said smiling at Ed, and Ed smiled back. He'd heard that question before.

"I...not going to answer that yet" Ed said grimacing Al nodded his head as both brothers clapped their hands, and brought them to the ground. All at once the array turned a bright orangey yellow color. The blanket around Winry turned to ash, and the wind suddenly picked up.

Then the color turned gold, and silver and the light bounced off the walls, their ears popped as the pressure of the transmute crashed down on them. Winry's body moved only a little, but the brother didn't get to see what happened next, the pressure was too much for their already injured bodies and they fell.

A/N-I know this was a little crazy!!, and absurd, but it was the only way I knew to get Winry back to normal, so sorry if it's...too...weird…No flames, but if you liked please review!

Chapter eleven coming soon.
