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

I said this will follow the manga, and that I would drop some of the things from it. I just want to say, as many of you might have noticed, I dropped the whole Kill-Maes-thingy. He is not going to die in this story! Why? Because he's too cool to die!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything!

Chapter 14

Izumi walked as fast as she could toward the place the people she had talked to, had seen a small child been taken. Alphonse, Sig and the girl – Winry – followed her closely. She knew that. She also knew that very soon, they were going to be in a fight with kidnappers.

Alphonse was lost in thoughts as they walked, almost ran, toward the place called Devil's Nest.

What would have happened if they had travelled directly to Central instead of stopping in East City on their way back from Resembool all those weeks ago? If they had followed the first plan, maybe his brother wouldn't have been turned into a three year old. . .

The reason for why they had travelled to Resembool at all was because Scar, a State Alchemist killer, had destroyed Edward's automail-arm and they had to go to Winry for a new one.

The boy stopped. They still had Marcoh's note, didn't they? Edward had put it in the suitcase after all.

He then noticed that the others were far in front of him, and ran to catch up again.

A group of men looked up from whatever they were doing the moment they heard someone coming toward them. The first think they got their eyes on, was a woman followed by two teenagers and a huge man. The group stopped right in front of the men.

"Excuse me, but have any of you seen a three year old boy around here? Golden hair and eyes?" the woman asked. The men looked at each other. They weren't supposed to tell anyone about the kid, that's what their leader had said.

"No, sorry, old Lady," one of them said. Wrong move.

No one got the change to react before the woman threw all of them into the wall behind them, using only her hands. Unfortunately, one of the men didn't really got the message she left, since he spoke up a minute later.

"Fine, the boy you're looking for is downstairs, old Lady."

It didn't take more than a second before the woman slapped her hands and touched the ground. Light filled the room as a huge hand showed up and smashed them into the wall once again.

When Izumi was sure she had done her work perfectly, she turned around to the rest of her group.

"I'm going in. Wait here," she said coldly. Alphonse shook his head.

"I'm coming too, Teacher." The woman looked him over for a minute. She wanted to say no, that it was too dangerous, but she couldn't beat up who knew how many people at the same time and keep Edward safe.

"Fine. Honey, can you wait here and watch them," she nodded toward the men that where looked between the wall and the stone-hand, "so no one can surprise us?" The man nodded.

"Hey, what about me? I'm coming with you two!" Winry yelled. They stared at her.

"Do you even have a weapon?" Izumi asked. The girl grinned, and pulled out her wrench.

"You think this one would work?" she said sweetly.

Edward sat on the floor inside the basement. The three who had taken him there, sat next to the door, watched so he couldn't go anywhere.

The boy really wanted his brother there, didn't like it when he didn't knew anyone.

The door opened, and the leader came in again. He looked over at the boy, and grinned.

"It seems like your friends missed you, kid," he said calmly as he came over. Edward rose from the floor, and was about to run toward the door, when the man held him back.

"Not so fast, kid. I want something from your brother, and I am keeping you until he tells me what I want to know." The boy figured out he didn't like this man very much. Not at all.

"Hey, Greed, don't be so evil. He's a child after all," the woman said. The boy was almost sure she sounded bored.

Before the man could answered, the door opened again. This time one of the guards that used to stay outside the room, was threw into the wall just over Edward and the leader's heads. Izumi Curtis was furious when she stepped into the room.

"Edward Elric, why the hell didn't you stay with us when we were at the market?!" she screamed. The boy was too afraid to answer, but the fear disappeared when he saw Winry and Alphonse coming inside after the woman.

"You disappeawed," he muttered.

While the scene played out in front of them, the group that used Devil's Nest as a HQ had problem trying to understand what exactly had happened. Why where all the guards unconscious?

"Uh. . . Excuse me, Lady, but who the hell are you?" Greed asked after a while. Izumi stood up in all her height and power, before she pointed a finger at herself and yelled angry:

"I'm a Housewife!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roy looked through some of the paper he had gotten before he left East HQ that day. They had not moved over to Central yet, and still he already got stuff for some of the things they had to take care of when they got there.

He sighed, and put the paper together with the rest of the stuff he was taking with him to Central. The whole house was filled with boxes he had to take with him. This was the last night he would spend in that house, the last night in East City before they left for Central.

The man was going to put his post on the only table that still stood on its place, when an envelope fell onto the floor. He picked it up and opened it. Out came a picture taken at the day on the beach. A picture of the whole group. In the middle stood Roy and Riza, both smiling brightly. On Roy's left side stood Jean, while Heymans stood on Riza's right side. Kain stood next to Jean, and Vato next to Heymans. On Vato's right side stood Maes and Gracia with their arms around each other, while Alphonse and Winry stood next to Kain. On the ground in front of the whole group, sat Elicia and Edward. All of them smiled as big as they could.

Roy smiled before he turned the picture around to find out who had given it to him.

Know you don't have many pictures, so I thought you might like this one.

Maes

The man shook his head. Of course it was from his best friend. He had almost begged an unknown person to take the picture for him.

Roy put the picture down in one of the boxes before he could miss it.
