Ed sighed and picked up the letter from the side table, he read it, it was from mustang, he wanted him to go to central on his own…he really didn't want to, he'd have to ask monk and max to look after al…he was still worried.

After ed had left, max had a very bad feeling…envy and wrath would know if ed was gone…and they knew that would be the perfect time to attack…she sighed heavily, they weren't going to get al…were they…?

Max and Monk exchanged glances. Monk put her hand on Al's shoulder and Max looked at him "Al…if we…tell you to run, you need to do it…" she said, hugging him and so did monk.

Al sighed "why…?" he said; he really didn't have even an idea…Monk shook her head and walked out the room. Max sighed, "you'll know…" she said, looking out the window.

Max knew exactly what she had to do, when they got here, there was no point in hiding they would just find them quicker and it'll be more painful for everyone, she knew that they were probably all going to get hurt, but protecting al for ed was the only thing that her and monk needed to do…but she worried that they couldn't even do that.

Max picked up a piece of chalk and drew a transmutation circle onto the wall, she knew she would be needing that, if she had to create a diversion so al and monk could get out quick enough.

Max sighed, she got a bad feeling, she heard footsteps on the roof, she turned to monk who nodded and ran to get al. Max sighed, she knew she couldn't fight that well, but…she had to try…

Envy broke down one of the walls from the house and looked at Max and smirked evilly, Max ran slightly and pressed her hands onto the transmutation circle a wall coming across, blocking the way, she knew…that wasn't going to last long.

Monk dragged Al out and kept running, Al was confused as he saw the wall fall, he tried to pull away, but monk kept dragging him along "Al! Please!" she shouted. Al nodded and ran with her, instead of constantly looking back.

Envy broke the wall with one punch, Wrath now standing behind him. Envy smirked and grabbed Max by the neck "I don't want to have to hurt you…where's little alphonse!" he said, hitting her into the wall and applying pressure to her neck, she moved her hands to wear envy was hurting her, she kicked him off her.

Max sighed "I don't know where he is…" she said. Envy got back up and changed his hand into a spike and tried to hit Max, she kept dodging them, they'd managed to wreck the house…He hit her in the shoulder and then pulled it out, she fell onto the ground, holding onto her shoulder in pain.

Envy sighed "thanks for nothing…" he said, running out the house, followed by wrath. Max tried to get up, but it was no use…

Monk kept running, she was scared…what was going to happen…

Envy stood in front of monk, she stood back slightly, still holding onto al's hand tightly. Envy put his hand on monk's face "don't make me have to hurt you, like I've had to do with maxxie…" he said, she kicked him and hit him as hard as she could. He sighed "fine, have it your way…" he said, hitting the spike through her stomach and hitting her in the head, she fell onto the floor immediately, she'd never felt pain like this ever before.

Al tried to run…he did was monk asked him to do, Envy grabbed his arms tightly "your turn…and you're the one we want…" he said, hitting al in the stomach harshly. Al coughed up blood and hit envy as hard as he could; he was about to hit envy again, when Wrath kicked him in the head, knocking him out. Envy sighed, "god…he tried this time" he said, picking up Alphonse's un-conscious form and chucked him over his shoulder.

Before they knew it Wrath and Envy were gone with Al…
