"AL!"
I...I dont know what to do... Ed thought continuously. His brain ached as his kept glancing at his brother's collaspe body.
Finally, Ed goes to the military base to find King Bradley.
"Sir! I need your help!" Ed practically screamed. Ed didn't know what to do-his mind was stirring out of control. And Ed recalled the Fuhrer saying, "If anything happens, just tell me"
King Bradley raised his eyebrows. "Secretary Elric, don't be so emotional, now."
Ed went wide eyed. "This is about my brother's body!" he screamed. This is ridiculous...didn't he say it was okay to come to him when I needed something?!
The Fuhrer chuckled, but then glared at Ed seriously and darkly. "Perhaps...the price wasn't enough...?"
" 'The price wasn't enough' ?!" Ed exclaimed, shocked and scared. "Then what else can I do?! What else do I have to exchange until I get happiness?!" yelled Ed, but quickly shut his mouth. I wanted...happiness? Ed thought to himself.
"Remember, Equivalent Exchange..." King Bradley started, but Ed interrupted. "I DON'T CARE FOR EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE ANYMORE! I'LL DO ANYTHING, AS LONG AS AL IS FINE!" Ed screamed, pacing back and forth.
"If that's the case, then follow me. I know a place where we can get Alphonse's body back permanently."
And with that, the Fuhrer stood up and tapped the ground behind his chair four times, and a secret door opened, leading to a dark, secret basement.
Ed gulps, reluctant to go. But he swallowed his pride and followed the Fuhrer down the dark basement.
When the Fuhrer was sure Ed was completely down, he locked the basement and turned on the light. Ed's eyes went wide when he saw Envy in the spacious basement.
"Hi there, Chibi-San!" he said happily trotting his way towards Edward. "Wanna fight?" Envy said with a grin.
Ed understood. The Fuhrer tricked me!
As Ed turned around to escape, the Fuhrer appeared from behind, striking Ed's shoulder blade, sending Ed to the ground unconscious.
Envy pokes the unconscious Ed. "Why did'cha do that, Wrath? I wanted to play with him~~!"
Wrath smiled evily, looking down at Ed's body.
"Time is almost up. Their "Father" is waiting for them."
Welcome to hell.
The young Edward approaches his younger brother. "Al? Why are you crying?"
Al looked up at his brother, sniffling and wiping his tears. "Because...Winry was mad that her parents were killed...and I started to think...what if that was mother..." And Al went back to crying.
Ed frowned.
WHACK!
Al rubbed his head. "OWIE! Why did you do that, Née-Chan?!"
Ed put his fist in the air. "BECAUSE! No matter if anything bad happens..." Ed smiled warmly. "I will still be by your side."
Al looked wistfully at his brother. Then he finally giggled and hugged his brother. "Thank you, Née-Chan!"
Alphonse opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Ah..that was a dream...no, a memory when we were kids... Al thought as he sat up from the ground. He looked around. "Brother?" he called out. Where is brother, I wonder...and why am I on the floor? Al asked himself as he got up from the floor. Maybe he's in HQ! Thought Al as he gathered his things to go to Headquarters.
Headquarters~~
"Sir? Do you know where Edward is?" Roy asked as he looked around.
The Fuhrer, who sat "innocently" in his chair, shook his head. "I believe he is occupied with something."
Roy nodded, but something was fishy to him. "Excuse me, Sir." Roy stood to his feet, saluted, and walked out of the room.
Roy walks around the building, trying to find Riza. He then finally sees her at the front door about to leave to go home.
"Riza." he said. "I think something is wrong."
At night, it's raining and Al is still outside. Five more blocks... He told himself, but instead he bumped into a familiar figure.
"Hawkeye!" he exclaimed as the blonde woman waved. "Why are you out here, Alphonse?"
"I...brought an umbrella for Brother-ah!" Al yelped as he held his stomach. "Are you ok, Alponse?!" Riza said in worry as she helped Al regain his balance.
"Aha...I am just...I forgot to eat dinner, that's all." he said with a sigh. "I don't have an appetite without Brother..."
Hawkeye frowns. "Well, I want you to eat as soon as possible. Your brother is probably working overtime. Here, I'll make you something to eat on until he arrives."
And with that, Riza invites herself over to his house.
"Thank you, Hawkeye, for the soup!" Al said with a grin. Riza smiled back, leaving out the door. "Please, just call me Riza, ok? And take care of yourself."
After the door closes, Al gripped his forehead. Ah...it hurts...so much...
Al looks up and frowns. Brother...where are you...?
