Disclaimer: I don't own FMA!
"NO! Brother! Get up! You can't be dead! Open your eyes! Please! NO!" screamed Al. Tears were pouring out of his eyes. He couldn't believe it. He was holding his brother's dead body in his arms. Brother can't be dead. H-he just couldn't be. H-he's just sleeping. It can't be. Why? WHY? We paid everything and he still lost his life.
It started to rain. Al just sat there crying. His tears fell onto his brother's face. He stayed there until dawn. He was still crying. He picked up his brother's body and headed toward Winry's house.
When he finally got there, he knocked on the door. "Finally, Al! What took you so…" Winry took one look at Al, and then saw Ed's dead body. "She fell to her knees. "Al…how?" Tears flooded both Winry and Al's eyes. "Envy…k-killed him. H-he couldn't f-fight back. He w-was still h-hurt. I-it's all my f-fault. I s-should've protected him m-more."
"Al…" said Winry as she looked up at Al. He was covered in blood and rain. Al choked back the rest of his tears. "I don't care what the cost. I will get him back. I promise." His voice turned stern and determined, while still shaky from crying. "Al…"
"Goodbye, Winry." Said Al. He scooped up Ed's body and headed toward where his old house used to be. "Al! Wait!" screamed Winry but it was to late.
When he got there, he drew a transmutation circle that was all too familiar. It was the circle used in human transmutations. He placed Ed's dead body in the middle. "I don't care about Equivalent Exchange. You give me my brother back NOW!" screamed Al as he activated the transmutation circle. He saw the gate right in front of him.
"So, Al. Back again. I thought that you were glad that I let you go," said a voice. It was the Gate Keeper.
"I was. But Envy killed my brother. I want him back. You let that monster out. It's all your fault!" Al yelled at the Keeper. "I gave your brother what he wanted. So please, proceed with your human transmutation." Said the Keeper with a sarcastic tone. "I will! And I will get my brother's body back so you just stay out of it!" screamed Al as the gate doors opened.
"Give me back my brother!" screamed Al. The gates opened. The arms reached into his mind. They were stripping away his ability to do alchemy. When they were done, Al woke up next to the transmutation circle. He looked at what he created. "Brother?" said Al with at hopeful look on his face. "Brother!" said Al with excitement now because his creation was moving. He started to walk toward it and stopped dead in his tracks. It was his worst nightmare.
