鋼の錬金術師 (FullMetal Alchemist)
The War of Amestris and Xing
Chapter 1 Scapegoat.
Envy walked lazily towards Ed, smiling widely. He was still shocked by the surprise.
Ling's body laid on the throne, still warm.
Xiao Mei looked at Envy in a hateful way.
"I wonder how didn't you realize it was me?". Envy said, smiling.
He walked around the throne, surrounding it, and touching it.
"I was so envious of this kid… A whole empire to himself, and a powerful enough army to make it bigger". Envy said, grabbing Ling's hand.
"DON'T TOUCH HIM!". Ed yelled.
"You were close to him, weren't you?". Envy said, pushing the body off the throne. Ed held it, and made it lay down on the floor.
Envy sat at the throne, and posed his head on his hand.
"This really feels good". He said, smiling more.
"Move, Envy". Ed said, completely raged.
Envy shifted into Ling, and looked at Ed.
"You killed me, Edward… I thought we were friends". He said, pointing at the corpse.
Ed lifted Envy from the throne, and punched him on the face.
"Don't play with me! I can kill you, you know!".
"So can I". Envy said.
He kicked Edward, and sent him flying backwards.
"Guards!". He shouted.
They came close, and pointed their spears at Ed. Then they saw Ling's corpse, and the Emperor sitting down.
"He… Was an impostor. They were here to kill me, but I managed to get them". He said.
Ed stood up, raging, and transmuted his arm into a blade.
He killed one of the guards, while the other was bitten by Xiao Mei.
Ed also killed him, and picked Ling's body up. He started running at the door, but Envy caught up with him.
He made Ed stop, and looked at him.
"What makes you think you're leaving?".
o0o
"This is outrageous, Mustang".
Roy snapped his fingers, and the senator's beard caught on fire. He put it out, and looked at everyone else.
"Please, sign this little paper saying you are giving me the command of the country".
"What if we refuse?". Another senator said.
Breda, Falman, Fuery, Havoc, Hawkeye and Armstrong, followed by Hayate, entered the room.
Everyone but Armstrong and Hayate were carrying guns. They aimed at the senators, and hammered their guns.
"If you refuse, triggers will be pulled, and fingers will be bit off by our dog". Roy said.
The paper passed around, and it was signed by all the senators.
"Thank you. I'm doing this because there's a war about to be unleashed on top of us. I'll win it, and then I'll return the power to you. Now, get the Hell out of my office". He said.
The senators ran away, and Roy picked the microphone.
"Country of Amestris. This is the new Fuhrer, Roy Mustang. I've taken over the power of the country because of a war that is about to occur between us and the country of Xing. All the military report to the main headquarters immediately".

"Let me go, Envy".
"I'm afraid not. You're to dangerous, and you'll probably run right up to that Hohenheim bastard. I can't let that happen".
A suit of armor punched Envy in the face. He fell back, and started cursing.
"Run, brother! I'll hold him!".
"Al?".
"Run! I don't have much time left!".
Ed went through the door, and ran as fast as he could, with Ling's body laying on his back.
o0o
"Brother". Al whispered.
"Son? You look tired".
"I left a part ofmy soul behind, in case Ed got into any trouble…".
"What's going on?". Winry asked.
"Envy's fighting him". Al said, sadly.
"What?". Lust shouted.
"I don't know what happened… But they're fighting… Envy seems to be looking for revenge again".
"Is Edward alright?". Hohenheim asked, worried.
"He's running away… He has to go away from the palace".
Al lowered his head, and started breathing slowly.
o0o
Ed ran through the woods of the garden, looking for the hole that lead to the Treasure chamber.
He looked for a while, and went down running, as soon as he found it.
He jumped down, and fell through the air on top of a mountain of gold.
He looked for Ling within the coins, and dragged him out.
He went running through the stairs, and made it outside of the castle.
He went away, looking for the train station, while Xiao Mei ran behind him.
o0o
Envy tossed Al down, and kicked the helmet off.
"You idiotic can!". He shouted.
"Do whatever you want! Brother must be far enough right now!".
"That doesn't mean his safe!". Envy said, shifting into Ling.
"What?". Al said, understanding. "Are you going to take over Amestris?".
"And Drakma, and Ishbal… I want to conquer the world, and make humans suffer. And before that, I want to see Van Hohenheim die!".
Envy crouched, and looked at the blood seal inside the suit of armor. He grew one of his fingers into a spike, and scratched it.
Miles away, Al woke up, breathing heavily.
