Yup, posting two chapters at once. The whole thing is written but its getting the time to post. FMA isn't mine.

She jumped out of the way as Ed was thrown into the room, Al followed close by. After them stepped in the figure she believed to be her father. But the body that she had seen in the back garden told her otherwise. Her stomach lurched as she watched what happened next. Right in front of her the figure changed shape into Edward.

'Would you prefer this one?'

She couldn't answer as her world turned black.

When she awoke she became aware of the restrains around her wrists. Her hands were held above her head and she sat on a cold floor in what seemed a huge hall. No, not a hall, a hanger. She could see a few planes dotted around her and approaching her from the other side of the room was a man in a long dark coat.

She tried to scream but realised too late that she was gagged.

'Now now, no need to struggle,' the man said, 'we don't want you to attracting attention now do we?'

She stared fearfully into his gold eyes. They were not a brilliant gold like Eds, nor were they a rich gold like Hohenheim. They were nothing but cold and dull, much like his grey blonde hair. He seemed so familiar but she had no time to rationalise.

'You have no idea who I am do you Winry?'

She made no reaction. Fear cemented her still.

'Of course you wouldn't know who I am,but you have seen me many times.'

It happened again. Right before her eyes he transformed into Edward, then into Al, then Rose, then her father finally becoming her.

She screamed. The material round her mouth made it quiet but it hurt her body she poured so much into the cry. She pulled against the restrains to try and get away. If it wasn't for the pain in her wrists she would swear this all a terrible nightmare. She was watching a fiend at work.

'Oh come on, you don't think I look like you? I bet full metal shorty wouldn't know the difference. Shame he's dead. I can be him for you…'

Ed appeared in front of her again. His face was leaning so close but she was terrified. Her brain didn't register that he had said he was dead.

The sound of a gun shot stopped everything. Ed turned back into the person she didn't know clutching a bleeding arm. His face scowled but he made not a sound.

'Keep away from her!'

She had never been so glad to see Hohenheim. He stood quite far away from then but his shot had been true. His eyes were narrow and he appeared out of breath.

'Father, I wondered when you would show up. Looking for your son?'

'I know he isn't dead before you try to trick me.'

Father? What was he talking about? Surely it couldn't be so; even if they did look alike surely this monster could not be related.

'Where is Edward? Where is Al? Tell me Envy!'

Envy? That was no name, that was merely a sin.

'Why should I do that now?' the creature Envy sneered.

'Because I have a gun pointed at you and I am fully aware you can die as easily as a human can now,' Hohenheim growled.

Tears began to stream down her face. She had no idea what was going on and she could not get away. This monster had killed her father and taken Ed and Al away. She stopped pulling against her restrains and bowed her head. She wanted to wake up in her bed, warm and secure.

'Very well Hohenheim, follow me.'

Doors opened and shut but she did not care. Her heart felt as if it would give up on her any moment. The pain in her arms was nothing compared to her soul. She was so lost.

'Winry?' a sweet voice whispered.

Al's perfect blue eyes had never been so welcome. He undid the gag around her mouth but warned her to be quiet. She nodded. With pliers he carefully cut away the cuffs holding her.

'Your alive, Hohenheim is looking…'

'He knows I'm here. He was just trying to throw Envy off my scent. He instructed me to get you out of here.'

'Where is Ed?' she asked hushed as she could.

'I don't know. I woke up in the house when Hohenheim found me. Envy had left a note to say you were here.'

She took a deep breath to get it back after sobbing. 'Who…what…is Envy?'

'Hohenheim told me that he is an homunculus. An artificially created human. In their world it was almost impossible to kill him. He is Hohenheims son and so Eds brother.' He took a breath, 'He must have followed Ed through the gate.'

She sat and listened intently to what Al had to say. Ed had forgotten to mention so much that Hohenheim knew about. She forgot about the pain she was feeling and listened carefully to his story. The feeling of being lost ebbed away as Als smile comforted her.

A gunshot broke their conversation. They had both forgotten where they were. Al helped her to her feet and kept and arm round her side to help her walk. Her instinct wanted to pull her through the door at the other side of the room. Next there was the sound of metal on metal. Al too wanted to run to see what was going on, but he also seemed to want to get away. They remained where they were.

But an explosion knocked them both to the floor. He covered her as best he could as wood and metal flew around the room. The sound was deafening. Then all fell quiet.

Steadily they got to their feet. They were both cut and bruised but more important things were on their mind. The building was destroyed. The small planes were overturned and beyond that was nothing but rubble and dust. The hanger had been in two halves, but now only the one they were standing in remained while the other grew engulfed in flames.

'Hohenheim!' Al cried.

But only an echo answered him back…

Ed held still at the sound of a gunshot. He had been b

ound inside the second hall of the hanger. The last thing he could recall was Winry screaming. The back of his head was sore where he had been struck.

He heard someone yelling but could not make out who it was. He kept quiet to be on the safe side and pulled harder on his bindings. How he hated his false and feeble arm. Its only real advantage was that it felt no pain. But then…it felt no warmth either.

The door opened. He almost choked when he saw an older version of himself walk through the door. He knew it was Envy almost as instinct. That was the face that haunted most his nights. The face that had killed him.

'Father,' he called when Hohenheim walked in pointing a gun at Envy. 'He won't die that easily.'

'Ah, shorty is unaware is he?'

He let it slide. He wasn't short anymore after all.

'All he can do is change shape Edward. He is no longer immortal.'

Ed saw the gun shot on Envy's arm. Homunculus did not bleed so profusely as they healed quicker then a human could. Perhaps because there was no alchemy in this world Envy could not exist as he was. However that would not explain his ability to transform shapes at will.

'You've been here for a while haven't you?' Ed teased him still trying to break free.

'Same as you shorty.'

'And what do you want with us? Kill us?'

'You are going to take me home. If not that pretty creature out there dies.'

'When I've got a gun pointed to your back?' Hohenheim laughed.

Envy laughed and pointed to Eds restrains. 'Shorty is strapped to a bomb that's hidden in his cuffs. It's ticking down as we speak. Help me and I will release him. It's the same for that girl in the other room. I put her there so you could not see her when the bomb goes off'

Ed froze and listened closely. Sure enough there was a ticking from the cuffs keeping him at bay.

'Why do you want to return

The rocket lay behind them complete. They guessed with his skill of becoming people Envy knew all he needed to already. Apart from how to get the rocket going.

Ed caught his fathers eye. Hohenheim indicated as subtly as he could to an axe on the wall. His heart began to race as he figured out what was going on. He and his father had communicated in coded letters when discussing the final preparations for the rocket. Envy would have no idea how it was done and that is why he needed them. Unbeknownst to Envy, they needed him just as much. He completed the equation for them. The one they had been stuck on for a while.

Hohenheim shot Envy in the back of the head and pushed over a vat of a chemical mixture. There was no remorse in this action for there was no time. Envy was no longer the son he once had. Edward and Alphonse were his only children.

He ran over to Ed with the axe and chopped off the restraints. The ticking began to grow quicker and louder. They dragged Envy into the chemical mixture and set it alight. For a moment the flames turned purple. Then settled into their evil orange glow.

Ed decided a while ago he would try to take his father with him. Hohenheim had agreed to try it, even if it could cost him his life. This world of technology made allowances for some forms of alchemy for those who looked hard enough. The death of Envy would allow Hohenheim to claim a body in his own world.

Aboard the rocket they set everything up ready. It could all go wrong and they both die, but Ed had always been reckless. This worlds Winry and Al passed his mind once, but were soon pushed to the back. With a final breath he cried.

'Three…two…one…'
