So I'm finally done with chapter 7. I'm sorry it took so long, I was having a severe case of writers block. It also didn't help that I've been sick. My beta has been out of town and just got back today so I had him read it A.S.A.P so I could get it posted. (Just want to welcome him back) This chapter has a lot of action in it, so i hope you guys like it. I tried to make it as long as possible while not dragging it out to much .

Remember italic text are flashbacks.

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA nor do i own any of the characters. Its common knowledge that Hiromu Arakawa is the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist. I'm just perverting the FMA story with my own plots.

Enjoy

Chapter 7 - I'm not okay

Edward awoke the next morning. The room was brightened by the sun shinning though the tiny basement window. Al had tried to talk with his brother, but failed in getting a reply. Not attempting to test the shackles he had been placed in, Ed just stared up at the window. Al was beginning to worry that something was really wrong with his brother. 'What was that stuff in the syringe?' Al thought to himself. Dennis said something about making unwilling Alchemist follow him. 'Guess its some kind of brain washing medicine.'

Al's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the basement door creek open. Dennis walked in with a tray of food. Setting it on a small chair under the window, he made his way over to Ed. "I brought you breakfast. Are you hungry?" The older Alchemist questioned. Ed merely nodded his head. Al looked on in horror as Dennis undid the shackles that were placed on the night before.

Ed remained sitting on the floor as Dennis went to retrieve the tray of food. "You are going to be my greatest weapon, boy. You might be the one to take the military out single handedly. Your orders will be to take out all military personal. The first person on the list will be that bastard Roy Mustang. I believe you know him." He stated as his lips drew up to form a smile. "He's the one who got the position instead of me." He muttered, returning to Ed with the tray of food. As he knelt down to place the tray in front of the boy, Ed kicked it, causing the tray to hit Dennis.

"Way to go, brother." Al shouted. "You give it to him." He was cheering him on from the sidelines.

Dennis jumped quickly to his feet before Ed had another chance to attack. He rushed the blonde, slamming into him, hoping it was enough to knock him off his feet. Ed countered his weight at the right moment, causing Dennis's attack to fail. Brining a auto-mail elbow down on Dennis's back, the older Alchemist was slammed into the ground below.

Ed moved to the other side of the room furthest away from Dennis. Clapping his hands together, he transmuted his auto-mail arm into a fighting blade. Dennis remained on the ground, but cleverly used the discarded fork from the food tray to draw a transmutation circle in secret. Switching to offence, Edward rushed the older Alchemist, preparing to bring this fight to an end. Dennis quickly finished up the circle and activated it.

There was a huge blast, causing fragments of rocks and stones flying around the room. By chance a piece of stone hit Al's shackles. Cracking it down the middle freeing one of Al's arms. As the smoke cleared, Dennis found Ed was missing. Ed had been knocked back from the explosion. Then deciding to take his leave, he slipped out the slightly open basement door. Dennis cursed and kicked some stones on the ground.

"What went wrong?" He questioned in a low voice. "That same serum worked on the other Alchemist? Why not this child?" Picking himself up off the floor he heard a loud clinking noise behind him. As he turned around, Al dropped his heavy metal hand right on top of Dennis's head, knocking him out. Hoisting the unconscious man over his shoulder, Al left the room chasing after Ed.

It didn't take Ed long before he was at his barracks. After all he had ran the whole way. Rubbing the back of his neck he headed up the stairs. Sleeping the whole night shackled and sitting, really did a number his body. As he reached his room, he could tell the door was open but he never stopped walking. Now standing in the door way, Ed looked in at the Flame Alchemist.

Mustang didn't make a move towards the blonde Alchemist. "Fullmetal, where have you been?" He questioned, still standing in the middle of Ed's room. When the boy didn't reply Mustang took a step closer. At that moment Ed turned and ran. He didn't know why he was running. He was trying to think of what had happened the passed few hours, but he kept coming up with nothing. Mustang gave chase after Ed, slowing down once he reached the stairs. Ed was flying down the staircase, taking each step two at a time. Mustang picked up the pace again and was down the steps in no time. He turned the corner running off the cement path, seeing Ed cut across the grass.

"Fullmetal, I order you to stop." Mustang yelled. He hadn't expected Edward to comply, but he gave it a shot anyways. To his surprise Ed stopped dead in his tracks. The blonde didn't turn around, he just stopped there, staring straight ahead. Mustang headed in Ed's direction. He was breathing a little harder then usual. If he would have been forced to chase Ed further, Mustang was sure he wouldn't have been able to keep up. "Its about time you start following orders, Fullmetal" Mustang stated. The order Roy shouted at Ed wasn't what caused the blonde to stop. It in fact is what triggered the next turn of events.

"Your orders will be to take out all military personal. The first person on the list will be that bastard Roy Mustang." The words rang though Ed's mind. Ed's eyes went wide as the words kept repeating over and over. Mustang finally reached the boy, grabbing him by the shoulders, he turned him around so they would be facing each other. At that instant Ed swung his auto-mail arm. Ed's fist connected with Mustang's left cheek. The power of the punch knocked the Flame Alchemist to the ground. The expression on Mustangs face wasn't that of a man in pain, but someone who was completely shocked.

Ed started his next attack on the Flame Alchemist. Clapping his hands together, the blonde ran his human hand over his auto-mail arm transmuting it into a steal blade. Lunging in the older man's direction, Mustang barely had time to roll out of the way. Narrowly missing Mustang, Ed turned so he was now facing the dark haired man again. As Roy pulled himself to his feet he realized the odd, discomforting look in Ed's eyes.

'What's going on here' Mustang thought to himself. He'd been on the receiving end of Ed's deathly stares, in the past, but the boys eyes still had a softness to them then. Roy looked into those golden eyes in the distance and all he could see was pain, anger and hatred. Like a mad, wild animal.

"Fullmetal, what's wrong?" Mustang shouted. At that moment Ed shifted and was moving again. In a matter of seconds he was upon Mustang, and the older man did his best to dodge the punches and slashes of Ed fist and blade. 'Damn he's fast' Mustang thought, while looking for a opening to retaliate. Mustang dodged a few more attacks dealt by Edward, but the last strike was unavoidable. From there the hits kept on coming, until he found himself on the ground again. Lacerations could be seen on Mustangs face. His clothing was in poor condition as well, reviling the fact that some of Ed slashes connected. Although Roy couldn't feel them at the time.

Fully taking advantage of the distance between them, Mustang raised a gloved hand and snapped. The blast attacked Ed, as if it had a mind of its own, followed by a few more snaps. The power of the explosions threw Ed a few yards away from where Mustang laid propped up on his elbow. The Flame Alchemist had made a name for himself throughout the years. He indeed was a force to be reckoned with. He stood peering into the smoke clouds. Waiting patently for them to clear, to reveal the damage done.

------

A few blocks away Hughes and Armstrong were standing atop the stairs at headquarters. They had been sent to hunt down the Colonel, once Hawkeye realized he skipped out. Having heard the explosions they rushed in the direction of the rising smoke.

Al had just reached the barracks when he heard a big bang and saw the smoke. He rushed towards the scene still holding the unconscious Mercury Alchemist. The youngest Elric had turned the corner facing the open grass area just as Ed lunged through the fading smoke. Although Mustang was anticipating a move like that, the sheer force of the attack knocked him to the ground. Ed landed on top of him, swinging his arms wildly trying to hit Mustang. The blondes auto-mail arm had changed back to normal. Mustang held up his arms, blocking the punches the young Alchemist was dishing out. Even though Ed was strong, his swings were unfocused and crazed. Mustang was about to snap his fingers again to free himself from being pinned between Ed and the ground, when Al grabbed his brother and hoisted him up. The armored boy had dropped Dennis rushing to stop the blonde, and was now holding him by his arms. Ed wiggled and squirmed attempting to break free.

He was fighting back so wildly that Al accidentally lost grip and dropped Ed. Realizing what had happened Ed lunged at Mustang again, who was barely catching his breath. Hughes and Armstrong had just reached the scene, seeing Al drop Ed. Confused on why Ed was attacking Roy, the two new comers made there way to Mustang as fast as possible. Armstrong plucked the boy off Mustang, holding him in a bear hug to better guard against escape. Alphonse and Hughes went to check on Mustang, who stumbled while trying to stand. Hughes took hold of Mustangs arm, but was pushed away. Mustang made his way towards the still struggling boy, as Al called out "Please Colonel don't" but it was to late. Once reaching Ed, Roy swung his right arm around. Striking Ed with all his strength, knocking the older Elric completely unconscious.

Al quickly rushed over to his brother, taking him from Armstrong's grasps. Roy's eyes narrowed on Alphonse. "What the hell's wrong with him" Mustang spat out. Al lowered his head. "Its not his fault." the armor whined. "The Mercury Alchemist injected him with some sort of mind control medicine. He wanted him to attack the military, and you." Al explained everything that had happened, from the moment he was attacked to their current place and time. He also told Mustang he had brought Dennis with him, but when the group returned to where Al left him, the man was gone.

"I left him right here" Al said looking around a bit.

Hughes took of his glasses, cleaning them before putting them back on. "Well its not going to do us any good to wait around here, we should get Ed to the hospital." Hughes stated, resting a hand on Al's metal shoulder. Mustang began to speak but was cut off "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Hawkeye sent us to look for you" the man with the glasses said with a grin. Armstrong put his hand on the sleeping figure in Al's arms "We shall in form her of what's happened and you're escorting the Elric brother's to the hospital." Mustang looked baffled at the tall man. "That sounds like a good plan" Hughes began. "Besides Roy, you need to have your injuries look at also." Roy nodded, as they headed in different directions. Roy accompanied Al to the hospital, while Hughes and Armstrong went to break the news, to a gun toting Lieutenant.

Dennis made his way to a rundown looking house, two or three blocks away from the abandon milk factory. The sun was shinning brightly, and Dennis looked down at his watch. '1:45PM' was what the watch read.

'Damn that uncontrollable little brat.' The man thought to himself. 'This doesn't ruin my plans though, it just adds another name to the list of bastards I'm going to destroy.' Heading up the walk way, that was covered by over grown grass and weeds, he flung open the front door. Closing it behind him he passed a few men laying on the floor sleeping. Reaching the kitchen, he sat down at the table rubbing his head. Two men were sitting at the far end playing poker. "How did it go?" One of the men asked. "Did you persuade Fullmetal to join our cause?"

Dennis reached behind him, pulling the fridge door open, then grabbing a beer. Opening it he shook his head while taking a drink. "We don't need that little bastard. He's nothing but a loyal dog of the military." Dennis stated setting the beer on the table. "We should have enough men to take them down." Pulling over a list, with over two hundred or so names on it. Dennis quickly scanned down to the bottom and put a line thought the name 'Edward Elric.' Taking another drink of his beer, he pulled out another sheet of paper that was behind the first. It was names of all the people he had recruited. Although he had wanted more then one hundred people, he figured that would do.

"Tell the men we attack in 4 days" Dennis stated. The two men at the end of the table quickly rose and made there way out of the room.

"I have nothing but the best on my side. My strategy is flawless. Lets see you stop me now." Dennis bellowed.
