Hello again! I would just like to thank everyone who has read this story, especially my reviewers! As promised, here is the second chapter! I hope you all enjoy. But first, a few comments for my reviewers:

Fullmetal Chibi- Ouch! Why are you stabbing me if it's a good story? lol

notashrimp1- I'm sorry, but Ed is not a kitty. I kind of wanted to come up with an original idea. I also felt that I couldn't compete with all the other really good kitty!Ed stories out there. I hope you still like it anyway!

BlackFire-Dog- Wow! Lots of guesses! One of them was sort of right though, just not specific. I did like the idea of turtle!Ed though! Dies laughing I really want to write that now, along with Fullmetal Chibi's idea!

KonohaYaoiLuver and RealNutcase- Sorry for the cliffie, I hate them when they aren't my own stories. Here is the next chapter for you though! Sorry for the wait!

Disclaimer: I don't own fma, if I did, Hughes would still be alive. cries

Chapter Two

"EDWARD!" Al shouted and ran over to him. His brother was in bad shape. Ed was lying unconcious, face down on the ground. His face was covered in bruises, and blood ran down the side of his face. Al couldn't really see the rest of his body because it was covered with what looked like a red and gold feathery blanket.

What attacker would take the time to cover their victim with a blanket? Then realization had dawned on Roy. That was no blanket of feathers, those were wings!

He ran over to FullMetal to investigate the extent of the damage. Roy took a closer look at the wings, and sure enough, they were real and attached to Edward's back. Not only that, but he also had a long feathery tail sticking out of the top of his pants. Blood had begun to drip from the new limbs that had poked through his skin.

Roy carefully lifted Ed into his arms to inspect what other damage had been done. The boy was as light as a feather and looked pretty pale. His chest was also badly bruised and looked kind of swollen. Looking at FullMetal's feet he noticed that the real foot had transformed into what looked like a bird's foot with pretty nice sized talons. Whoever did this really knew their stuff about chimeras.

"What should we do with him, Colonel?" Riza asked with sadness in her voice. "We need to fix him up right away."

"The ideal solution would be to take him to a hospital, but then they would probably send him to a lab for testing, and I definitely don't want that to happen. Another option would be to take him back to my place and fix him up the best we can there. Edward and Alphonse could stay with me for awhile until we come up with a way to change Ed back to normal."

"Really? Thank you, Colonel! Ed and I appreciate your hospitality, but do you really think we can change him back?"

"There has never been a successful attempt to change chimeras back to the way they were before, but that doesn't mean we can't try. Let's head back to my place so we can bandage his wounds right away."

The three rushed back to Roy's house with Edward nestled safely in Roy's arms.

At Roys:

Augh! Why do I hurt so much? I feel like someone beat the crap out of me. Ed slowly opened an eye and immediately shut it again. Where the hell am I? Ed opened his eye again and spotted Alphonse sitting on the floor by the bed he was in. Taking another look around, he noticed he was lying on his stomach in an unknown bedroom, with no pictures on the dressers or walls to give him even a slight hint as to where he was. Ed tried to push himself up, but it hurt too much to move and his arms decided to give out beneath him. He plopped face down on the bed and groaned.

Alphonse heard the shuffling and looked up. "Brother? Are you finally awake?"

"Yeah. Where are we? What happened?"

"We are currently at the Colonel's house and you have been unconcious for about two days now. As for what happened, I was hoping you could tell me. Roy, Riza, and I found you unconcious in the outskirts of Central. What happened to you, Brother?"

-Pause- "I...don't know. The last thing I remember was that you and I had gotten into..." Ed paused again when something shuffled and fell over his shoulder into his line of vision. It had feathers and looked like a wing of some sort. Ed glanced over his shoulder to see what it was.

"Brother, don't freak out. When we found you, you were lying in an alley and had been transformed into a chimera."

Ed's face turned pale. I'm a chimera? No! I can't be! I have to get Al his original body back. I can't search for the philosopher's stone looking like this.

"Brother? Are you okay?" Al asked as he put a hand on Ed's shoulder.

Ed conjured up one of his fake smiles. "Yeah Al, I'm fine. Will you leave me alone for a little bit? I need time to adjust to the feathers.

"Sure thing, Brother. Just call Roy or me if you need anything at all." Al headed out of the room, closing the door behind him.

As soon as Ed heard the door click shut, he got back to thinking.This is just another obstacle in the way of the stone. All I have to do is find a way to overcome this. Then a thought hit him. If I can find a way to ditch the feathers, it wouldn't be to hard to hide the foot. But how should I go about doing it? An idea came to Ed and he cringed. It's going to be messy, but it's worth giving it a shot.

Ed slowly pushed himself up from the bed and made his way for the door. He stumbled into the hallway, noticing Al and Roy in the living room discussing who the attacker could be. Not wanting to be seen, he used his ninja skills to silently creep by and move towards the bathroom. Once inside, he made sure to lock the door so that the other occupants of the house couldn't get in. Ed looked in the mirror, "Am I sure I want to do this?" Yes. He slowly clapped his hands together until the blue flash appeared in his palms and started to crackle. He paused, gulped, then touched his flesh palm against his automail arm, creating his usual blade. Well...here goes nothing.

And...another cliffhanger! I'm sorry everyone! I just had to! I couldn't resist! Besides, the chapter would have been WAY too long if I hadn't cut it short. I kind of want all my chapters to be even in length.

I just wanted to let everyone know, I have the next chapter already typed up. Same as last time, I would like at least 5 reviews before posting the next chapter. I'm going to be leaving for vacation on the 29th, and if I don't get my reviews by then, you will have to wait until I get back for the next chapter. Sorry. cries If that happens, I promise to post 2 chapters as soon as I get back. Sound good?

Well...See ya in the next chapter!
