Chapter 3:

Ed, Al, and the Sohma sisters were walking down a street, when they got a lead on the philosophers stone, because they asked a group of people some questions about it.

They headed to the next town, because that was where it was last heard of.

"Finally!" Ed said, "yes. I was beginning to think that we would be searching for a lead for a while!" Al added.

The four walked to the town, and were walking around.

It was deserted.

There wasn't anyone outside, anywhere.

"Uh, where is everyone?" Erika asked, "It's sad, and kinda creepy!"

The four were looking around.

"Good question...hm..." Rika said.

"I don't care if there's people here or not, all I want to do is find the philosophers stone!" Ed said.

"But brother, why do you still want it! We already found out the final ingredient, and neither of us liked it."

Ed looked at Al.

"I mean you even said it yourself, you weren't sure if we should still look for it!" Ed looked down at the ground.

"Al, I know! But I don't want anyone to get their hands on it!"

Everyone looked at him.

Just then, they heard a woman scream.

They all looked towards where the screaming came from.

They ran to see what was wrong.

"What the hell was that?" Ed asked.

"It sounded like a woman," Rika answered.

They arrived to see a man that had a woman's cut off head in his hand, and her cut up body covered in blood lying on the ground, below the hanging head.

"Oh my God?" Erika put her hand over her mouth.

The group was shocked.

The man had a butcher's knife in his other hand, and had a grin on his face as he was looking at the group.

His eyes got bigger when he saw Rika and Erika.

"Mm...more women that I can have fun chopping up!"

Rika and Erika grinned back.

Ed and Al stood in front of them.

"Why don't you move boys? We all could have fun watching me chop them up?" he smiled.

"HELL NO!" Ed yelled.

"Who are you?" Al added.

"Hm…" he dropped the head.

It landed on the body's pieces, and rolled off onto the ground towards the group.

Her face was facing them.

"The name's Barry. Barry the Chopper, and I just love chopping up women!"

He looked at his bloody hand, "the feel of blood through my fingers...mm...feels good!" he smiled.

"YOU'RE MAD!" yelled Rika with a disgusted face.

"Hm, thank you," he looked at Rika, then at both Sohma sisters, "now, what are your names, before I chop you up into pieces," he grinned.

"I mean I've heard of a short full metal alchemist, named Ed Elric, and a big metal man named Al Elric. The two are Elric brothers. So what are your names?" Barry the chopper was looking at Rika and Erika.

"YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THEIR NAMES!" Ed yelled, "AND I'M NOT SHORT!" Ed freaked as he was yelling.

Everyone was looking at Ed, then they looked at Barry.

Barry looked at the Sohma sister.

"You wanna know our names, you crazy bastard?" Rika asked looking at Barry.

Everyone was looking at Rika.

"Rika..." Erika whispered, Erika was understanding what Rika was doing, where she was going.

Erika looked at Barry.

Ed and Al were looking at Rika.

"My name's Erika Sohma."

Erika yelled over to Barry, Al and Ed looked at Erika.

Rika was looking at Barry.

"Hm...really?" Barry grinned.

"I am known as the winter alchemist." Erika finished.

"And I am Erika's older sister, Rika Sohma. I am known as the love alchemist!"

Al and Ed were looking at the two girls.

"Thank you, Erika, Rika." Barry said still grinning.

Ed and Al joined Erika and Rika in looking at Barry.

"Well, now that I know you, let's get to business, huh?" Barry charged at the girls, "BOYS, YOU HAVE FRONT ROW SEATS!" he yelled.

Ed and Al were still in front of the girls.

The girls grinned.

Erika pushed Ed out of the way, and Rika did the same, but for Al.

"NO!" Ed and Al yelled as they turned around looking at Barry charging right in front of the girls.

The girls moved out of the way, and Barry kept running, then turned around and charged at Rika.

"RIKA!" Erika yelled.

Rika moved just in time to be sliced on her side.

She had jumped back, and landed on her feet with her hand covering her wound, then dropped to her knees, with her head facing the ground.

She was cut ½ a cm in.

"Rika!" Erika ran up to her, and stood in front of her looking at Barry.

Erika clapped her hands once, then faced them at barry.

He turned into ice.

"Finally!" that guy was beginning to freak me out!" Erika put her hands down, and on her waist as she was looking at the frozen Barry.

Erika turned around, and kneeled to her sister, "are you alright?" she asked.

Ed and Al walked up to the two.

"That was surprising!" Ed smiled looking at Erika.

Erika looked at Ed, smiled back.

"That's why they call me the winter alchemist...well one of the reasons!" she then looked back at her sister.

"Rika..." she said.

Rika looked up at Erika, and smiled.

"I'm fine...thanks!" Rika stood up.

Erika stood up as well, then the group heard a bomb over by the frozen Barry.

They saw lots of smoke surrounding him.

"What the hell...?" Ed asked.

"What's that?" Al added.

The smoke cleared and Barry was out of the ice.

He wasn't frozen anymore.

The ice was broken down by his feet surrounding him.

Next to him was another guy.

The guy was looking at the group, and Barry was looking at the guy.

"Thanks for helping me out, Kimblee."

The name shocked Rika and Erika.

Ed and Al didn't know Kimblee.

"The alchemist?" asked Rika and Erika in unison.

"Yes. hm. I'm flattered that you know who I am. Yes, my name is Kimblee. I am an alchemist. I am known as the crimson alchemist, and I just love the sound of things blowing up?" he grinned.

The group got scared.

Barry laughed.

"This is going to be fun! A lot of blood is coming to us, Kimblee!" smiled Barry.

"Yes, now lets have some fun, huh?" Kimblee looked at Barry, then the group.

"Shit!" Rika said.

"Don't worry! We can defeat them!" Al said with confidence "I mean, you three alchemist, and me, in hard armor, it'll be hard to bring us down!"

The three looked at Al, and smiled.

"Great confidence booster, Al!" smiled Erika.

"Yes!" agreed Ed.

The group looked at Barry and Kimblee.

"We'll take crazy Barry," grinned Erika as she was clenching her fists.

"Yes, we'll take the bastard down! He'll get what's coming to him! He'll know not to hurt me!" Rika clenched her fists as well.

"Alright then. We'll get the other maniac!" Ed agreed.

"Hm, they think they're going to take care of us, Kimblee," Barry laughed.

"I know. But that what they think!"

"So, it seems I get the girls in the end!" Barry was still laughing.

Barry charged at the girls.

The girls did the same, and a fight was started.

Kimblee, Ed, and Al were in a stare down, for now.

"Hm, do you really think that we're going to let you get away, after defeating us? I don't think so! we are going to win!" Ed grinned.

"Yes, all four of us are going to win our fight!" agreed Al.

Ed clapped his hands together once, and put his left hand over his right arm, and moved it, and a sword was made on his metal arm.

The three charged at each other, and a fight was started between them.

Kimblee had the upper hand because he was the crimson alchemist, he can make instant bombs, and blew up a couple building, and partly the ground, road, below their feet.

Ed and Al were hit, but not as much, because they had jumped in the air, and were hit, but not as much as they would if they were on the ground.

Rika, Erika, and Barry were already a while away.

"Rika, I think one of us should go help Ed and Al!" Erika said as she and her sister were trying to dodge Barry's butcher's knife, and him moving fast trying to slice the girls.

"But I think you should, because if I go, I'll be no help, because I'm useless against him, because he can blast out my ice, so you go, I'll try to defeat this freak!"

Rika agreed after she thought about it.

"Ok, but I'm going to sent one of them back here to help you!" she yelled, then ran away.

"NO, RIKA..." Erika yelled as she stopped, and tried to yell for her sister, "DAMN, IT'S TOO LATE!"

"AND IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU!" Barry yelled as he was jumping at Erika.

Erika jumped back, and got cut about 1cm across her stomach, above her belly button.

She landed on her feet, and fell on her knees.

She then had to jump back again, because Barry kept moving around hid knife to try and slice Erika again.

Kimblee made another bomb.
