Chapter two

Ayumu's Post

The sound still resounded through the girl's body as she pulled herself back up. The three stood aghast. Through a small tear in her shirt, they saw her stomach was of metal. "Ummm..." stammered Edward. Ayumu stared horrified, as she knew what Ed had to go through just to put on his arm or leg. "But, how is that possible? Your organs!" realized Al. Ayumu was sickened by this thought and clutched Al as her wings flew out.

Bayleigh noticed her shirt was torn then quickly clutched her stomach.
"Sigh, I-...Yes, I have no organs only a heart, brain, and lungs...and- wait, are those feathers?" Bayleigh glanced over at the small girl near Al.
"Um, hi. What's your name?"
"Ayumu." Replied the little winged girl shyly.
"Hey don't change the subject!" Yelled the blonde one.

"Well hey; I can't give you much more information about my body! It's personal! I'd especially never give it to a shorty like you!"
"KJSHDFIESFUBTY!f!utg!&&tg!&!t M' NOT-A SHRIIIIMP!!&!"
"I am Edward Elrik! The FullMetal Alchemist!"
Bayleigh smirked. "Oh, so you're a State Alchemist too?"
"Didn't I mention that earlier?"
"Yeah..." Bayleigh paused. "So, about your arm and your friends here. You guys must be an odd group of kids."
"Yeah, but we're well known." said Edward calming down. "And..." Ed paused, "Yeah my arm..."
"How'd it happen?" asked Bayleigh.
Ed didn't answer and there was silence.

"Well, I should be asking you that...What happened to you?" Ed asked the same back.
"...Alls' I remember is a crazy smile and pain throughout my whole body...I thought I was going to die...until...I saw a red flash."
All were in utter shock, when she said "red flash"

Ayumu's Post

Ed and Al stared at each other knowing it could only be Alchemy, more specifically, the Philosopher's Stone.

"Alchemy makes flashes, right?" murmured Ayumu. Ayumu didn't know how simple her idea was compared to the one in Ed and Al's minds. If we can find her savior then maybe...

Trying to get more information Ed asked, not hinting at the stone at all, "So, someone attached you to that metal...almost like Al?"

"Huh?" replied the girl. Al sighed and removed his head saying, "Well, you were bound to find out sooner or later..." Before further conversation could take place the doors to the HQ flung open.

My Post

A big burley man burst through the doors. Apparently he was angry. He passed by Bayleigh down the steps, mumbling, "Friggin' Fuhrer and the damned State Alchemist rules..."

Then Bayleigh thought, "Hey...if he tried...then maybe I can get more info about how the test is like..."
"Sir, please wait up!" the man just kept on walking. Bayleigh started after him.
"Hey kid! You idiot! Don't just go talking to everyone who comes out of HQ! Come back here! I have more questions!" Ed started running after Bayleigh. "Come on guys!" Al and Ayumu followed.
The man started walking down an ally way up to a woman in a thin black dress.
Bayleigh was gasping for breath, "Sir-...do you know anything about the State Alchemist exam?"
"There you are!" Ed yelled, from the other end of the ally way, also gasping for breath.
The burly man glanced at the girl, "Well why not ask the kid behind you?"

The man slowly turned into a pale skinned gaunt creature with long dark green hair.

"He knows everything after all," The thing turned to Ed, "Right FullMetal?"
The woman in the dark dress smirked, "Gluttony."
Then, out of no where, a huge beastly creature jumped down behind Ayumu and Al, blocking them in.
"Wha-what are you things?" Bayleigh stammered.

"Homunculi" finished Ed.
"Wait...I know what those are...they...are like zombies...sort of..."
"Zombies? I'm insulted!" said the long haired creature. "We like to think of ourselves as, your cousins..." When the homunculus said cousins he glanced right a Bayleigh.
"Wha-what?"
Edward's eyes suddenly opened…

Red flash-homunculi-Philosopher's Stone-hollow body.

"Watch out!" yelled Ed, as he alchemized big spikes that came out of the brick wall, into the thin woman and right through the blob behind him. He tried for Envy but he was too quick...
"Oops..." Envy said sarcastically and pushed Bayleigh in front of the spike that was originally aiming for it, and stabbed her--right through her flesh...Completely missing the her metal body...
"Ed fell to his knees and was mixed with so many emotions but then he thought, "Wait..." He looked up.
Bayleigh slowly opened her eyes, the spike crumpled into little pebbles. Then she slid off the spike and fell to her knees.

Her chest started regenerating.

How's that for chapter two? I hope that last part brought some questions to mind ; Chapter three should be up shortly. Comments, critiques, and flames accepted (if necessary.) By the way, these chapters are double spaced. In chapter one, I couldn't see any double spacing, even if I double spaced it a hundred times…?
