Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist in any shape or form, but I enjoy writing this story for all Fullmetal Alchemist fans and for those that have been reading my story and have reviewed so far. I only wish there was more I could do to make this story more interesting, but there is about to be a twist in this chapter that no one saw coming!

Scar had been tossing and turning in his sleep most of the night as dawn started to rise over the hills of Lior and beamed through the window as he shined on Scar's scarred face as he stirred in his bed and went to the mirror and the look of fear was upon his face.

"Forgive Rose for what I must do to save my life and hopefully even your life, but I must do this," Scar said as he held on to the dresser to steady himself as a rush of poison rushed through him as he stood near the dresser, but soon started to feel faint.

Down in the dining room: Al, Rose, Lust, Russell, Lt. Ross, and Lt. Bloch sat at the table finishing breakfast as Scar finally came downstairs slowly as the pain of the poison was slowly moving through him. Each step was painful as he made his way through the house to be with his guests, but he couldn't bring himself to face his friends, especially Rose, in the condition that he was in at the moment.

"I wonder where Scar is this morning, I haven't seen him all morning," Rose said as she searched the house for any sign of Scar, but she was soon met by his x-scarred face as he came from hiding and into the dining room to meet with the others.

"I'm sorry to keeping you waiting, but I seem to have lost place of time, now if you guys would like I would like to escort you around town and show you the sights of this great city?" Scar asked as he put his arms around Rose's shoulders.

Rose was shocked at the moment of love and passion that Scar was showing towards her, but something felt wrong about the way he was acting at the moment, but she just disregarded it as nothing and decided that she would not spoil the moment or even the day they were going to spend together. Unfortunately, it would be their last day together for no one was aware of the evil that was flowing through his veins.

"Let's move out now, we be able to find Envy's hideout among our walk through town," Al said as the friends headed out the door and out towards the city market.

While Scar lead his friends through the market he had Rose at his side, but his mind was starting to wonder to the moments of Rose being by his side. Slowly, but surely his mind started to play tricks with him as almost every corner seemed to be replaying moments from the past, but he knew that were not real as he tried to erase them from his mind.

"What is going on with me? Why are these images still haunting me? I can't let them hurt my friends or Rose, I must find a way to fight the poison," Scar thought as he walked through the city.

Envy sat in the darkened abandoned playing with the vial that held the antidote as he patted it back and forth from one hand to the other as he watched Fletcher squirming in the darkness against his gagged and wrist bands, but no matter what he did he could not escape from his bounds.

"No matter what you do my young friend there is nothing you can do to escape and the same goes for the infamous Alchemist Killer," Envy said as he continued to play with the vial, "Your end is at hand Alchemist Killer; soon the others will fall like dominoes."

"LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE AND LEAVE THE OTHERS ALONE! YOU HAVE ME; NOW LEAVE THEM OUT OF THIS!" Fletcher said as he managed to get his mouth gag off.

"It won't work my young friend; your brother and his friends will fail to rescue you and the Alchemist Killer is as good as dead by now…my next target won't be soon dangerous as the Alchemist Killer, but what am I saying? My next target is an alchemist himself, but there is no way to stop my attack now," Envy said as he slapped Fletcher which sent him flying across the room.

"Brother…help me, you must do something before an innocent life is destroyed," Fletcher whispered as he lay on the floor.

"You're mine Scar of Ishbal!" Envy said as he transformed and flew off to where he knew he would find Scar, for Envy had changed to a creature that no one would see as a spy on the wall.

Scar had been enjoying his time with Rose as she held onto his arm as they walked through the town square, but Scar was starting to feel the pain of the poison that had been coursing through his veins and he was feeling the pain of his body feeling the pain of his body shutting down. Time seemed to be slipping away slowly as Scar's mind started to race over the thoughts of how to get rid of Al and save himself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Is anyone hungry for a bite of lunch?" Scar asked as the friends found themselves in front of a restaurant and with the mention of lunch was enough to rush everyone to the tasty restaurant.

"Scar, you okay, you've seemed distance since we've been out here, is something on your mind?" Al asked as he placed the menu down as the others were ordering their meals and were talking amongst themselves.

"I'm fine Alphonse, I'm just feeling under the weather," Scar said as he sipped on his drink, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was sweating like a pig as he tried to hide the effects of the poison.

"Principal Scar, are you sure you are okay; you seem a little flushed and you're sweating profusely?" Rose asked as she saw that Scar was breathing heavily.

"I'm---, "Scar started to say as he fainted backwards from the table.

"SCAR!" Rose and the others shouted as Scar's eyes rolled back in his head.

Alphonse and the others sat in the living room of Scar's elaborate house as Rose sat with Scar, but there had been no changes in the way he was looking at the moment and the poison had been slowing moving through his veins as he had been lying in his bed. Al and Russell had been pacing the room as they wondered what had happened to Scar and why it had happened, but they couldn't come up with a proper reason. Al felt something weird was going on as he searched the room and noticed a black crow sitting on the windowsill by the door, but something about the bird was strange.

"Does anyone else see that black crow?" Al asked as he stared at the black crow and the others soon saw, but the bird soon flew away.

"Something is going on here," Lust said as she noticed the bird flying away with an evil glint in its eye.

"Rose, are you there my Rose?" Scar whispered as he tried to look to Rose as he searched the room for her face.

"Scar, I'm here, what do you want?" Rose asked as she held his hand as tears started to run down her face.

"I love you Rose and I will always love you no matter where I am," Scar said as his final words as he closes his eyes and his body went limp as his life slipped from him and Rose couldn't hold back the flood of tears as she watched his hand slide from hers.

"NO! Scar you can't leave me now; please don't do this to me I need you now more than ever," Rose yelled out that reached out to the living room where the others heard her scream.

Rose wept on Scar's bed, but her tears didn't go unnoticed as the black crow that had been sitting on the windowsill outside Scar's room noticed the tears and the sudden passing of the infamous State Alchemist Killer. A sly smile passed along its beak as it flew away and started to change as it flew into a nearby alleyway and changed into its true form.

"It is time we left for our next destination," Envy said as he slipped through the alleyway and back to his hideout.

Envy snuck back to the hideout wearing a cloak to hide his identity as he slipped through Lior towards his hideout and as he snuck back he kept rewinding the events that had happened to replay the event over and over in his mind as he relived the pain and suffering he had inflicted on Rose and the others. Once he made it back to the hideout he smashed down the door and started rummaging for his belongings and was talking amongst himself as he gloated over his latest task. Fletcher had no idea what the crazed Homunculi member had in store for him or the others he planned to hurt, but he had noticed maps scattered throughout Envy's section of the hideout. Some red; Lior, Risembool, Central, East Command Headquarters, Dabri, Xenitome, and Rush Valley, but they didn't mean anything….yet.

"Time to go my boy," Envy said as he gathered the items into a corner by a secret door that Envy had hidden from Fletcher's view.

"Where are you taking me this time and what did you do to my brother?" Fletcher asked through his gag.

"I didn't touch your brother, but one State Alchemist killer is out of my way from stopping me and to answer the first question, to find my next victim."
"Who would that be?"

"Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist!"

With those final words, Envy snuck out of the hideout with Fletcher in tow, but Fletcher didn't know why he would be after a member of the Military but a thought as to what had happened to the former "State Alchemist killer" better known as Scar. Rose's cries of pain pierced the night and could be heard from the vast mansion of Scar and Al and the others would soon find out what had happened.

Rose sadly walked from the room that know housed the dead body of Scar, but she didn't want to hide her tears but yet she still wanted to and as she made her way into the living room where Al and the others sat, Al was the first to ask Rose what had happened and with that one question, Rose lost it and started to tell all that had happened.

"He has been fine up until now, but I don't know who would kill him," Rose said through her tears.

"Wait, something smells of foul play in this house and that smell is the same as Envy, but it's not in the house, its outside on that windowsill!" Lust said as she opened the window and upon the windowsill was the symbol of the Homunculi engraved on the windowsill.

"This was Envy's doing, but why?" Al wondered as he searched the room for answers.

Al placed his hand on the windowsill and for an instance his mind changed from what it was and he was able to see Envy's face and the hideout he had been hiding in and he also saw the maps that Envy had with him.

"Alphonse, what is it?" Lt. Ross asked as she shook him as he collapsed onto the floor.

"Move him to the couch!" Lt. Bloch said as he and Lt. Ross moved Al to the living room couch.

Time seemed to slip by as Al found it hard to come back to his friends and it was hard to hear their calls, but as his mind drifted he managed to see images of his brother working hard on something to return home, but in the corner of a room that Al didn't recognize he saw an alchemy transmutation circle on a wall. Al tried to call out to his brother that he had found the Gate for him to return home, but his cries won't leave him to call out. Suddenly, his mind flashed to Xenitome and the former castle of Mugiar and saw the same circle, but in that moment before he could pin point the location, he came to with his friends around him.

"Alphonse, Alphonse, are you there?" Lt. Ross asked as she shook him, but soon stopped when she noticed that Al was coming to.

"What happened to you?" Russell asked as he leaned over the couch.

"I touched the symbol on the windowsill and my mind went to where my brother was and then I found myself at Envy's hideout and found maps of where he planned to go next and then I went to Xenitome, but I know where he's going next," Al said as he stood up and walked towards a map on the wall.

'Where Al, where is he taking Fletcher?" Lust asked as she helped him up.

"He's heading back towards East Command Headquarters and I think I know who he's after," Al said as he pointed at the location of where East Command was, but he waited to tell everyone his answer.

"Who is it Al?" Rose asked.

"He's going after Colonel Mustang!" Al said as he touched the map.

The suspense and the heart break, but also the sort of "Dead Zone" twist with Al seeing Ed in the other world, Envy and Fletcher, and then Xenitome, sorry, but I LOVE the Dead Zone! I thought I add a little twist to the plot with seeing other things…okay I hope you guys enjoy this part of the story, because there's more to come! So stay tuned Fullmetal Alchemist Fans! Till next time, see you guys later!
