A/N: Yes, I am sorry that there have been delays. I've been working on three different stories, so that takes sometime. And also, I'm writing this author's note on the school bus. How awesome's that?! (It's not that awesome, but at least pretend you're happy for me.) On that happy note, I will let you begin this chapter!
Fullmetal Rain Brotherhood Episode 20:
Father
Kacie's POV
"I'm telling you Edward, you need to die your hair!" Alayna said to the short blonde.
"MY HAIR'S FINE THE WAY IT IS!" He yelled back.
"It's always like this with them." I said to Alphonse.
"Well Brother can't attack her now that she's human." He pointed out. "BROTHER!" Al said as he grabbed Ed's hands. "She's human now, so no alchemy!" Ed just grumbled and started yelling again. I sighed and face palmed.
"It'll always be like this." I said. "At least I except it." I grabbed Alayna's hand before she could punch Ed. "BOTH OF YOU SIT DOWN BEFORE I TAKE BOTH OF YOUR HEADS' OFF!" I yelled. It was quiet as they sat down.
"Why are we going to Central again?" Ed asked.
"Because, now's the time to tell Mustang." I said.
"Tell him what?" Al asked.
"That Bradly's a homunculus." I whispered.
"WHAT?!" Ed yelled. "How come we didn't know this?" He said as he motioned to to himself and his brother.
"Because, I can't tell you too early! Then everything would be messed up!" I retorted.
"EVERYTHING'S ALREADY MESSED UP!" Ed yelled back.
"Still." I said as I stayed calm. "Mustang needs to know. Then we take down Father, save the day, and people get married." I said with a smile.
"What's the 'get married' thing about?" Ed asked. I just smiled. "Wait, did I get married on this show of your's?" I nodded. "To who?"
"Should I tell him?" I asked Alayna.
"I dunno if he'll be able to take it." She answered.
"You are right. It is kind of weird. He did propose to her in a weird way."
"Just tell me!" He said.
"Winry." Alayna and I said at the same time.
"I got married to WINRY?!" He yelled with a red face. "What the hell is wrong with you people?!"
"Ask Hiromu Arakawa." Alayna said. "She made the story."
"Well I'll kick her-"
"Edward! She's on the other side! You can't kill her!"
"Fine." He said. "Let's just get to Central and get this over with."
"Not if I can help it." A small voice said. Before anyone could say anything, we were surrounded by shadows.
"Where are we?" I asked once I could see again.
"Good job Pride." A booming voice said.
"It was nothing Father." Pride answered.
"Why, exactly, are we back here?" I asked.
"Because of you." Father said as he pointed to me. "You have unlocked your inner Philosopher's Stone, haven't you." I nodded slowly. "I can use you to take me to the other side of the gate." My eyes widened.
'I don't need your power to save this country.'
'Oh, but you do.'
'She's with Father!' I yelled in my head. 'That wasn't me. That was some creep!'
'I'm glad you think I'm a creep.' Truth said in my head.
'Oh god. I'm going crazy.'
'I just thought it was getting a bit boring, so I pushed the story ahead some. It's fun, isn't it?'
"So, now that my alchemy's stronger, I can take you to the other side?" I asked.
"Exactly." Father answered.
"Well, how come you didn't go when you sent the others?"
"You see, I could only send one at a time. I want to send all of my children with me when I go. Your alchemy is so strong now, that you could send ten times the people in this country to the other side of the gate."
"How'd you know it was me?" I asked.
"I have many powers my little darling." He said as he got up from his chair. "I can make a homunculus, I am immortal, but among all those powers, there is one that stands out." He made his way over to me.
"And what would that be?" I said as I stood up. He used his alchemy to latch my arms and legs down. He put a finger under my chin and made me look at him.
"I can tell Truth anything I want." He said with a sadistic smile. "That's why I was able to find someone with this huge alchemical power. That's why you were able to unlock your hidden potential. All. Because. Of. Me." He spaced out his words before walking off.
"Can I just leave already?" I asked.
"You can try." He said. "But since your hair and eyes change color whenever you do alchemy, I'll know whenever you try." I smiled.
"Well, I have friends." I told him. He laughed.
"They aren't here right now."
"And where are they?"
"Where do you think little Pride went? He went to 'get rid' of the evidence."
"You wouldn't!" I yelled.
"Oh, you know me better than that darling." He said.
"Why do you keep calling me darling? It's kind of creepy."
"Because I can. Come with me, I need you to open the gate for me." He let go of the holds on me. I stood up before making a run for it.
I made my way through the closest tunnel. I kept running until a felt something push me down. I got right back up and used alchemy to make a wall behind me. I came to a crossroad. "EDWARD!" I yelled. "ALAYNA! ALPHONSE!"
"KACIE!" I heard someone call. I ran down the path I heard it coming from. I kept running until I came to an iron door. I used alchemy to bust it open. Inside, Pride had some sort of shadow knife pressed against Alayna's neck. I jumped up, clapped my hands, and slapped them on Pride's ouroboros. He fell backwards and dropped the knife. Alayna fell to the floor.
"Are you alright?" I asked. She nodded.
"Ed and Al are fine. Just unconscious." I nodded. They were sitting against the wall. I went over and shook Ed awake.
"Kacie! You're alright!" Ed said as he hugged me close. I just smiled and hugged him back.
"What did you expect?" I asked him.
"I honestly don't know." He said. "But you're smiling, so I guess you're alright."
"Edward," I said as I put my hands on his shoulders. "Just because someone's smiling, doesn't mean they're okay."
A/N: What Kacie just said is very true. But anyways, I'm sorry if this chapter was bad, I'm not good at writing battle scenes. I just hope somethings were explained. From this point on, the story will take place around Father's Lair. I think the story might be over soon anyways. (How sad!) And lately, I've been watching Pewdiepie play Heavy Rain. You should really watch those videos, they're awesome. So, thanks for reading. If you enjoyed add this to your favorites and follow it. Please review if you enjoyed or hated this.
