"Well? Are you going to make the stone or not?"Envy smirked. What was Ed to do? Soon enough the door was kicked open, but no one stood in the door way. There was the sound of a clap echoing from somewhere and then Lust was perpelled into the wall by spikes giving Ed the chance to get up.

Envy looked around for who had just interfered. As he turned to the right, A kick met with his jaw. He looked up. Al was standing there above Envy.

"Think twice before hurting a friend, or my brother."Al looked at Ed. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah."Ed ran over to Hughes and untied him and tossed him over his shoulder. "Al, there are more military people in the other room. You have to get them out."Al nodded and ran into the room.

The room was red and people layed in the middle of a transmutation circle. Al ran over to them.

Dead. They had all been killed. Al ran out of the room. "They're dead Ed. We don't have time lets go."Al ran out of the church. Ed was shocked that they were all dead but ran out behind Ed, carrying Hughes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hughes opened his eyes enough to realize his glasses weren't on his face. And that he wasn't tied up anymore either. He looked over and managed to put his glasses on. He was in the hospital. He tried to sit up but couldn't.

"Don't move Hughes. You broke a few ribs."Al walked into the room just as Hughes lay back down."You got yourself into some mess."

"Yeah I know. Does Gracia know I'm here?"Hughes looked over at Al, who shook his head.

"No. We got you here maybe two hours ago. We figured we'd let you rest. Hughes, what were those...THINGS planning?"

"..."Hughes was silent for a minute or two. "They want to make a stone. They tried to get me to make one, mistaked me for Roy. Once they found out i didn't know alchemy it was an all outfight. Till I took a hit good enough to knock me out. They're dangerous creatures called homunculus. Not human at all. More than likely, they will come after me again. There's no avoiding it Al."

Hughes was right, he was in serious danger. He was now a target to be murdered. He had a family as well that could be in danger. His wife and daughter who had just turned four not too long ago. Al felt so bad for what had happened.

"Al. Ed was in a suit of armor. Why?"Al jumped at the question.

"...Winry was dying...Ed was giving himself up for her...I..I ran into the room and attached his soul to armor. All for Winry, who is fine now. I promised I'd get Ed his body back and I will..."

"Don't push yourself too hard. Ed's a great and smart kid. Together, I'm sure you two will find a way to fix everything."

"This stone Hughes, how powerful is it?"

"Stay away from it Alphonse. It's dangerous. But if you must know, It could give Ed his body back. DONT go after it."

Al was slient for a minute and then smiled. "Don't worry about us Hughes. You know me and Ed already get into enough trouble as it is."

"Got that right. Namely Ed."

"You mean like now? He's in the Colonel's office giving a report. Last time I went past there i heard yelling from the both of them."

"I'm not surprised. Roy's not going to be happy after whats happened already. You two be on guard. You're in as much danger as I am. Got it?"

"Will do Hughes."

There's your update. Maybe in my next chapter I'll put in the scene between Ed and Roy yelling at each other. Hope you enjoyed this one XD And you can thank my friends for Hughes living. I had another idea for him. But I can still put that into effect See you next update!
