I would thank all of you who have red and reviewed this fan fiction; they have been very helpful, but the other day I went online to check my emails and found that I had received 11 reviews from one reviewer by the penname of Aquabubble! I would thank the reviewer for all of his/hers reviews and to clear some things up in case you don't know why I included Envy, Greed, Lust, and Scar along with Dr. Marcoh and Shesca. I added them in because I'm still watching the series because it has not ended yet and I added them because…well…in my mind they still exist regardless if the do or don't die in the series.

The Hawkeye Mustang faces in the fan fiction when he lured away from HQ is not the "true" Hawkeye, its Envy in disguise.

The two figures in a chapter you reviewed were Lust and Russell.

Greed is a BAD guy in this story not a GOOD guy.

As a note, for Scar, I believe he lives through the end of the series and I thought put him in for some excitement to the fan fiction, for the fans.

Once again thank you all and especially Aquabubble for the reviews, I was shocked at the number, 11! Thank you all and I will update as much as I possible can when I have time, summer classes are almost over, but I'm trying on top of trying to stay on top of my classes. Bye!

Envy had been up since dawn gloating over what he had done to those within East Command Headquarters and he was planning his next attack against Al and his companions, but this time the attack would be personal, the attack would be against Hohenheim due to a dark and hidden secret that Envy held onto. Envy sat on the floor with a map of Risembool in front of him as he planned his attack as he poured over his papers of notes about people in connection to the Elrics that lived in Risembool. The only possible connection to them would be Winry's grandmother, Pinako, she would be the one take the force of his attack, but there was someone else he planned to harm, but it was too much plot. Fletcher sat in the shadows watching the evil Homunculi member plotting his evil deeds and with each passing moments he tossed the dagger that Envy had tossed at him into the floor as he plotted his revenge.
Al was the first one up in East Command Headquarters as he moved to the office where Mustang's desk stood and he imagined the many times he and Ed had to face Mustang's stern looks, but his caring features seemed to soften the moments they faced him on missions he had for them. He remembered the moments when Mustang would slam the phone back on the receiver whenever Hughes said something stupid; the faces of the officers seemed shine throughout the room, but his feeling of finding Fletcher and getting his brother back over took the emotions he felt as he stood in the cold office. He made his way to the Mess Hall where he found his companions eating a cold breakfast and was ready to look for Envy and Fletcher.

"You guys ready to do this?" Al asked as he grabbed a small bite of breakfast.

The answer was unanimous amongst the companions as they all nodded their heads and headed out into the marketplace of East Command as each of the friends spread out throughout to find any signs of Envy's hideout, but they turned up nothing as they came back together at the Mess Hall to discuss what they found.

"We end up at nothing but dead ends all day long!" Russell said as he slammed his fist on the table.

"Russell, you shouldn't take it out on the table," Lt. Hawkeye said as she entered the room.

"Lt. Hawkeye, we didn't expect to find you here," Al said surprised as the Lieutenant walked into the room with a look of worry on her face.

"What's the matter Lt. Hawkeye?" Rose asked.

"It's the Colonel; I'm worried about him because I haven't seen him up and about since last night."

"Maybe he's still sleeping," Al said as he tried to put a good outlook on the situation, but it didn't calm her nerves as she walked from the room and walked towards Mustang's room.

Al and the others started to walk back to their rooms to study over the notes and papers that they had been studying over to find out what Envy was planning for them and where he may strike next. Dr. Marcoh had been in his office with Shesca most of the day and they had been sorting through Military files looking for any clues that could help Al and the others, but nothing.

Mustang got up from his bed, but a shooting pain shot up in his arm that seemed to shot into his heart as he got up from his bed and started to walk towards the door to call out for help, but the pain is too much that it stops any chances of calling out for help. He crawled to the door and tried to knock on the door, but his knocks went unanswered as he slid to the floor in a heap, gasping for air and lay on the floor as the poison seemed to cloud over and his eyelids dropped as he start to sleep a sleep that maybe his last.
Lt. Hawkeye was walking towards Mustang's room when she heard the collapsing sound him falling to the floor and as she banged on the door to get his attention she found that her knocks were in vain. She pulled open the door to find an unconscious Mustang on the floor with his eyes closes and his breathing was shallow as she pulled him off the floor and onto his bed. Once Mustang was back on his bed, his eyes started to flutter as he tried to mutter something Lt. Hawkeye, but his words were mumbled and incoherent as the Lieutenant ran from the room to seek out Dr. Marcoh.

"Dr. Marcoh, I need your help right now!" Hawkeye said as she rushed into his office, out of breath.

"What is it Hawkeye?" Dr. Marcoh asked as he gathered his bag and tried to find out what was going on.

"It's Mustang, he's not breathing the way he should, something is wrong with him and fear that it may be the consequence of his fight with Envy the other night."

Dr. Marcoh and Hawkeye made no stops along the way back to Mustang's room where they found him struggling to sit up as he noticed Dr. Marcoh walk in as he tried to tell him what happened in the struggle with Envy, but he managed to whisper into the doctor's ear the poison that now was making its way through him as it prepared to kill him.

"I believe he poisoned me with rat poison," Mustang said as he collapsed back onto the bed.

Dr. Marcoh didn't stop to talk to Hawkeye as he set about trying to help Mustang, but not even the medicine's he had in his bag were able to help and he didn't dare use the liquid form of the Philosopher's Stone to help him. It had caused it's share of disaster and had been a constant struggle for the Elrics as they tried to seek it out for themselves to regain what they lost, but it was the only way to save Mustang. The room was deadly silent as Hawkeye watched with tears in her eyes as she waited to see whether Mustang would pull through this problem.

"I think he'll pull through this, but I think he just needs to rest for the time begin Lieutenant," Dr. Marcoh said as he put away the Philosopher's Stone.

"Thank you Dr. Marcoh, thank you very much," Hawkeye said as she sat by Mustang's bedside and watched over him as he started to slowly regain his strength.

Al stirred in his sleep because he was mad that they couldn't find any clues or hints of where Envy was hiding and the memories of the past started to swirl back to him like a whirlpool as he started to remember the fights between him, Ed and the Homunculi. Envy seemed to charge back into his memory, but as Envy seemed to play on his mind his mind wonder to the outside streets. He found himself chasing down his brother through the streets, but the image of his brother faded as he came upon the location of Envy's hideout in which he found himself waking up in a cold sweat.

"I now know where Envy's hiding," Al said as he got out of bed and got dressed and then wrote a note to the others to where he was headed as he pinned to his door as he snuck out of the headquarters.

A midnight train started to roll in as the sound of the train whistle pierced the night as it pulled into East City Train Station. The sound of the train was enough to awaken the town, but mysteriously it didn't as a muscular figure walked from the train with his cap pulled down upon his head. The man pulled his trench coat closer to himself as he stepped onto the platform and gathered his belongings and made his way down the platform towards the town and towards East Command Headquarters. The man walked through the town as he admired the scenery of the town he had left for a few weeks to visit his family after the situation of the Military versus of the Homunculus. It felt good to be back on solid ground where he knew that he could be himself, one of the many members of the State Military.

"I'm home," said the muscular figure as he moved from the station platform towards East Headquarters.

Al couldn't fall asleep after waking up in a cold sweat from his vivid dream of Envy and his hideout, but he knew that he shouldn't leave Headquarters without leaving some way of letting the others know where he went. Al decided to sit and write a note that he would post on the outside of his bedroom door so if someone came looking for him they wouldn't have to worry, but he knew either way he would face the consequence for not telling anyone regardless.

I know where Envy is hiding in the city

Don't come looking for me

If you do, I fear that my plan might fail

If anyone intervenes my life may not be the only one in jeopardy

But Fletcher's as well.

Don't be mad because I promise to return with Fletcher.

I will try to stay safe, but I doubt that may be able to keep that promise.

Sorry,

Alphonse Elric

With that Al left the note on the door and headed for the streets of East City to look for the streets that he had chased his brother down in his dream that would lead to Envy's hiding place, but the streets were dimly light by street lights and the rising sunrise. The city lay asleep unaware of what was going on in the underbelly of the darkness that was hiding within its very walls. Al walked the streets and there was only one thought one his mind, find Fletcher and get him back to the Headquarters so they could concentrate on stopping Envy.

"I'm coming Fletcher…Envy…you…are… mine," Al said as he walked the streets towards a darkened area of town where he figured it was the exact location as it was in dream.

No one knew that Al had been gone hours before the sun had risen into the sky as the searchers for Fletcher got up to ready for the day and they started going about their business until they heard the scream of Winry from Al's room.

"What is it Winry?" Russell asked as he rushed to Winry's side.

"This note, I found it on Al's door, you don't think that he went after Envy alone do you?" Winry asked as Lt. Ross came up the other side of the hallway.

"Lt. Hawkeye won't like hearing about this, but I think she deserves to know," Ross said as she left with the note and ran towards Mustang's room where she would find Hawkeye sitting at Mustang's bedside with her head on his bed.

Hawkeye had sat by Mustang's bedside most of the night in hopes that he would regain consciousness and partial strength from his near death experience from the consequence of fighting Envy previously. She had watched his chest rise and fall during the night, but she had fallen asleep from exhaustion, but was soon was shaken awake when Lt. Ross walked in with the note from Al in her hand.

"Lt. Hawkeye, are you awake?" Ross asked as she gently shook Hawkeye from her sleep.

"Who's there?" Hawkeye asked as she came up with her hands flailing.

"Lieutenant, it's me…Lt. Ross, I have a note here from Alphonse. Supposedly, he left early this morning to look for Envy because according to his note he knows where he is."
"What are you talking about Lt. Ross?" Mustang asked weakly as he struggled to get up.

"Colonel, you're awake, according to this note from Alphonse he knows where Envy is and his going after him and he plans to try and retrieve Fletcher, but he doesn't anyone to come looking for him," Hawkeye said surprised as she helped him so he could read the note.

"How long has he been gone?" Mustang asked after he finished reading the note.

"We have figured since before dawn," Winry said as she peeked her head in with the others waiting outside the door.

"I need to find him before he does something stupid," Mustang said as he struggled to get out of bed, Hawkeye pushed him back into the bed against his will as Russell and Lust walked in.

"Leave him to us," Lust said as she opened the door to reveal Russell, Rose and Lt. Bloch behind her.

"Lust and I will find him because we have been dealing with him the longest and we have an idea of where he maybe," Russell said as Lt. Bloch walked up towards the bed and saluted the Colonel.

"Sir, if it would be an consolation, I suggest that Lt. Ross and myself stay here at Headquarters in case Envy decides to attack directly or Alphonse shows up," Lt. Bloch said as Lt. Ross caught on to what Lt. Bloch was doing.

"As you wish, but Lust and Russell, I want you to take the others with you because if Alphonse his hurt you two will need help getting him back," Mustang said as the companions walked out to find Alphonse before it was too late.

Al had been wondering the darkened alleyway until the doorway of the abandoned home, but as he came closer to it, he could feel a darkness spreading over it as he stared into the boarded up windows of the home. Little did he know that in the darkness Envy was watching him as he had as Al had been walking through the town looking for the hideout.

"Time to for the cat to play and the mouse to get what is coming to him," Envy said as he slipped to the side of the hideout as he opened the door a little bit to give Al a sense of hope.

Al noticed the door on the abandoned shack opened ajar; he moved to the door way and opened it up and started calling out Fletcher's name, but Fletcher was unable to answer Al's calls as Al made his way farther into the abandoned home.

"Welcome brother of the Fullmetal Alchemist, welcome to the house of terror and where you die!" Envy said as he came out his hiding place and tried to clobber Al, but Al dodged him as Fletcher came out hiding and started to tackle Envy.

"I warned you! NEVER….CROSS…ME…TWICE! Envy said as he kicked Fletcher across the room and into the wall where he lay unconscious.

"Fletcher!" Al screamed out as Envy clobbered him in the head with the butt of a gun that he had found in the abandoned gun vault where he had been hiding since his arrival to East City.

"So this is where it ends, but I was hoping to have more fun with you little one, but I guess that will have to wait," Envy said as he circled Al as he started to get onto his knees and gain some sense about himself as Envy took the butt of the gun and knocked him in the gut.

Russell, Lust and Rose had been walking the streets looking for any signs of Envy or even Al, but with no luck and little by little they were starting to worry that they were losing time looking for them. As they came around the corner, they were stopped by the cries of Rose as she doubled over in pain as she fell to the floor holding her stomach and crying in pain.

"What is the matter with you?" Russell asked as he knelt by Rose's side.

"It's Alphonse, I think he's in trouble and he's in the house down there," Rose said as she painfully pointed a darkened home at the end of the alleyway where they stood.

Lust and Russell could sense the darkness that was radiating down the alleyway towards them like a dark cloud as they were almost bowled over by a blast of hot air that seemed to roll down the alleyway. They helped Rose up and headed towards the house where they were sure they would find Al and Envy and especially Fletcher, but would it be too late?
