" Where could she be? I mean where do you think she is?" Al asked.
"With that physic alchemist of course. He must have captured her while we were asleep. Remember, he only preys on young woman and well, she is a young woman." Ed replied.
Damn! How in the HELL do I expect to save her if I don't even know where he is? Ed turned around and saw a piece of paper on the ground. It sad:
Dear Mr. Edward Elric,
We have your sister. Meet us in the clearing two miles from here in thirty minutes. – Physic Alchemists
"They have her! Damn! I knew it. Let's go Al!"
Mi saw the man get ready to do something she hoped he wasn't going to do. He turned his wrist to her and said three words. Her eyes locked onto the opal and she felt something being sucked out of her and into him.
"Alright lets test it," he said to himself.
He turned around and took out a knife and cut himself. Instead of cutting him though it cut her. She cried out in pain as he did it three more times. That's his alchemy, transferring pain and damage to another person, his victims. That's how he kills them.
Ed and al shout through the forest and into the clearing to see Mi. She was sitting against a tree with her head down. She looked up at them with pain in her eyes. Ed looked beside her to see Mi's arm. He gasped. He knew how painful it was to have your arm yanked out.
"Mi! Are you okay?" Al asked.
"I'm okay. Listen the physic alchemist uses hyp…. ugh," Mi was cut off by a huge cut appearing across her stomach.
"You, my dears are not going to reveal my secret." A voiced called from the shadows.
" What are you going to do if I tell them?"
"This." Ed said coming at him.
Ed cut him right through the stomach but appearing on Mi stomach instead. He cut him again only to find the same cut on Mi. Al went over to her and she whispered something in his ear. Al nodded and walked over to Ed.
"Get the pendant around his wrist," he whispered in his ear.
"Alright," he said.
Al turned to find Mi drawing something in the sand, a sealing circle. Is Mi trying to divide the blows in half by equivalent exchange, but she can't she's missing a arm. I have to help her!
Al ran over to Mi and asked, "Need some help?"
She smiled, "Yea could you get my arm, please?"
He reached over and gave Mi her arm. She pushed it in moaning at the intense pain. When it was in she hit the ground with a scream. Ed has given the physic a blow to the stomach once again. She fell, but she knew she had to finish what she started. She hit the ground once again alchemy coursing through her veins. With that another blow came, but she only felt half of it.
"It worked! Alright Ed give him all you've got!"
Ed clapped his hands and sent the ground rolling. When the man hit the tree behind him, Ed slashed and killed him instantly. He smiled and turned around, "I'm glad that's over!" he shouted happily, putting his hands behind his head.
"Wait, I thought there were two of them," Al said.
"There are," replied a serpent- like voice.
" Come out, and show yourself, or are you a coward!" Ed shouted.
"I don't think I shall. Oh, and you should be scared of me. I have you under my spell," the voice countered.
"What ugh…." Ed fell.
" Ed! Al, pick me up!" Mi screamed.
Al came over and did what she asked. He carried her over to where Ed was kneeling. " Get up, so I can help you make a sealing circle. It cuts the pain in half and send the other half into the ground," she whispered into his ear.
" Alright," he told her.
Together, they drew a sealing circle with Ed's blood. He sealed it with his alchemy. When Ed Tried to get up Mi stopped him: instead she got up. "It's my turn," she told them.
Al and Ed nodded as she staggered to a tree so she could access her sword. She sat down and cleared her mind. The whole time they had been talking the voice had been humming a tune. She focused on the voice and prepared to strike. There! She's in that tree! Mi jumped and struck the shadowy figure before her. The figure dropped out of the tree to reveal a woman. She looked a lot alike her brother. The woman stood up, ready to fight.
Mi came again, hitting her dead on. She fell and Mi slashed her again, killing her. " You won't be back, trust me."
With that, Mi fell to the ground. Ed looked up, his vision getting blurry. Damn! I've lost too much blood and I can't leave Al alone with the two of us unconscious, but Ed passed out before he could even stand up.
Al turned to find them both on the ground. He picked them up and took them back to camp. " Armstrong, wake up."
