I do not own FMA:B or Harry Potter
She'd heard about the gate of truth but she'd never expected it to be a white void, not that she'd really been expecting to ever see this place at all. Studying the large gate behind her she felt mostly intrigued as she ran a hand over the seemingly stone gate it felt like normal stone however there was a buzzing sensation under her fingertips. That alone was enough to show her that it was somehow alive and connected to her from the draw she felt toward it. Turning when she heard chuckling she blinked at the white blurred form of herself that stood across from her. It must be Truth, how interesting that he chose to take the form of those that opened his gate. He seemed exactly as Edward described but she couldn't help but feel as if he lacked something compared to the deity she'd met before coming to this world. Tilting her head as the creature studied her in turn she broke their contest by blinking.
It was easy to tell he wasn't a malevolent deity; there was no sense of bloodlust or malice surrounding him. In fact, he seemed more playful than anything else almost as if he thought this world was nothing but an amusing pastime. She could totally support that kind of thinking especially if it meant he was less likely to steal her limbs or organs to pay the toll. Even she had a bit of self-preservation although it was a lot less than what a normal person would have. Maybe she should talk to someone about that, but then again the only people she had to talk to were a Homonculus embodying greed, a psychopathic murderous Alchemist, a Xing prince, and Bido. Deciding to think about her mental state later, which was most likely for the best, she focused on paying her toll rather than how strange her thought process was.
Reaching down, she unlaced her boots before using Alchemy to take off the anklet she wore but made no move toward her necklace. Despite knowing that it could save her life one day, she was still willing to use it here and now to ensure her own survival. Holding it in her hand she relaced her boots under the creature's watchful eyes; she knew it would have been better to be afraid of the creature but she didn't feel any fear. Standing, she didn't hesitate to stalk forward and hold out the two stones in her hand as an offering.
"You mean for this to be your payment," he asked with amusement in his tone. She frowned at the tone but didn't try to justify herself, instead, she nodded.
"Yes," she said simply. There was no hesitation in her answer and the being felt even more amusement at her simplistic answer.
"What of the stone around your neck? Do you believe that you should get away without punishment for playing god," he asked coldly. The sudden change in emotion caused her to flinch, but she didn't withdraw her hand. Instead, she tilted her head back meeting the challenge with her own glare.
"I have no intention of playing god. There is nothing I desire but to protect those I love. If you must take a toll then take it," she dared. When the creature didn't even move she realized what was wrong with the situation. Unlike her last meeting with a deity, she didn't feel anything oppressive or frightening; she didn't feel any such fear for her life. There was nothing to even make her slightly flinch away from the creature.
"You're not afraid," Truth stated more amused than insulted.
"No, you lack anything I would fear," the statement hung in the air between them like a dark cloud before she offered the deity a calm smile. If she'd met him first she would have been afraid.
"What if I deny this payment and take it from you instead, will you fear me then girl?"
"No."
Truth studied her for a lie. There was no way that this child didn't fear him when the dozens of Alchemists before her were terrified. He was a deity after all even if he wasn't as bad as Chaos or Death people were still afraid of him. Wait, this was that child, wasn't it? The little girl that Chaos dumped into his world for a little bit of entertainment. That would explain why she wasn't afraid of him since she'd already met Chaos and sold her soul to him. To be honest, he had no idea why the older deity had dropped the future savior of the wizarding world in his universe but he wasn't going to complain.
The girl had been entertaining especially when she tore several people off their fated path just by existing. He rather liked the new fates Greed and Kimblee had not to mention the budding romance she had with Ling. The only issue was that they were influencing her just as much as she influenced them. When she had only Greed in her life she would never have helped Mustang; this was Ling's influence. Either way, he was interested in seeing how she developed before her inevitable return to her home universe.
"Very well, go use the power you wanted," he stated as the stones vanished from her hand. Hearing the gate behind her open she ignored the chuckles from the deity as dark hands dragged her into the gate. Closing her eyes she swore that she saw violent crimson eyes seconds before everything turned black.
Hitting the ground hard Aria heard Edward let out a surprised noise as she laid still. Both of the Philosopher Stones were gone but she could still feel the one around her neck. All her limbs were intact and since she wasn't coughing up blood, she assumed her organs were fine; in fact, she didn't really feel any kind of change at all. The floor was cold as someone ran to kneel beside her with only a glance she could tell it was Edward. The concerned expression on his face was interesting but it didn't make her feel anything. Letting him pull her up into a sitting position, she looked around the room for a long moment. The chamber looked exactly the same as the last time she'd been here.
Ignoring the questions from Edward, she glanced at the black-haired woman who was hovering on her other side. They both seemed shocked that she was the one who was sitting here instead of Mustang, not that she blamed them. Her choice had definitely been last minute and not something that she would usually do. Turning her gaze on Father she tilted her head a bit; he definitely looked different than the last time she'd seen him. Standing she stumbled causing Edward to hiss at her like an offended cat as he laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Be careful," the woman ordered. Instead of snapping at her like she usually would, Aria nodded slowly. It was enough to make Edward growl.
"Oh so you'll listen to her," he muttered sounding annoyed. Rolling her eyes, Aria shrugged off his hand and turned her complete attention to Father.
"Hello, again Greed's pet."
"I prefer Aria," she said despite knowing the words were mocking. Pulling on her gloves she offered a smirk as she moved into a better position to attack. Her fingers were already growing colder as she prepared herself. She had no doubt he was far stronger than her; he was almost a godlike being. The only good part of their power difference was that she would be underestimated.
"I was expecting Mustang," he said the large grin on his face, was it a face, making him hard to look at. She wanted to stab him.
"I know."
Clapping her hands together she knew that making ice right now was a mistake; using the stone in any way at all was a mistake, so instead, she pressed her hands against the floor causing spikes to shoot in his direction. The sudden attack caused the two beside her to blink in shock before she allowed her face to go completely blank. The moment he moved out of the way, she repeated her action creating a wall between them. Standing, she quickly moved to put more distance between her and the Homunculus as Edward and the woman followed her lead in attacking.
Glancing upward, she frowned; she knew the others were right on top of them. If she could destroy the ceiling then they would be able to drop down and help. Judging the distance she clapped her hands gently, hoping not to gain his attention, before kneeling. Tapping her hands against the floor, she sent a large lance directly at the ceiling. The heat of eyes burning on her back was the only warning she got before the very shadows lashed out against her. Dancing away from the whips of shadow she mentally cursed as she watched Pride come into view. She was totally mocking Edward once this battle was over.
Darting toward the Homunculus she leaped over the wave of shadow before kicking out at his head. Feeling the urge to curse him she barely held back as his shadows wrapped around her leg and tossed her away. Flipping she landed easily much to his annoyance. Meeting the eyes of the Homunculus, she wondered if all the anger he felt was caused by her. Now that she was a sacrifice he couldn't kill her, which gave her a chance to win. She would kill him if only for the fact that he was a threat to Greed.
"I really hate humans like you," he said with a dark tone.
Raising an eyebrow she flipped back avoiding his attack. Her continued dodging seemed to enrage the homunculus farther however he did keep his attacks aimed at non-lethal places. She'd been right that he couldn't kill her, luckily she had no such restrictions. Rushing toward him she clapped her hands together as she twisted under a blade of shadow before brushing her fingers over the ground. Hardened spikes shot upward in his direction and for a moment he was knocked off the ground.
She didn't really understand why he felt the need to tell her that he hated her. There was no reason for him to try talking to her at all. Was he trying to get under her skin? She didn't understand why. He was in no way familiar enough to her that his words actually had an impact. At most, this was nothing but a fight. For her survival, she would fight him but for her dad, she would kill him.
"You're a fool to think Greed actually cares about you."
Scoffing internally at the attempt she sent a retaliatory lance of stone in his direction. She didn't care if Greed cared about her. He was the first person to ever see her as something more than a burden. She loved him because he was her dad. He didn't need to love her back. That was what Pride didn't understand. He couldn't understand because he was nothing but a child pretending to be a monster.
"No Homunculus could ever love a human," he snarled. She froze; there was something strained in his voice. As if he was trying to convince himself rather than her. Straightening, she studied him as she went through all the information she had on him. Didn't Salem have a human mother? It was true that she was nothing but a cover but she was still his mother. On some level, he had to care about her.
"That doesn't matter. Human. Homunculus. They're both the same," she stated. Her tone was still cold but it was enough to get his attention. Paling he snarled.
"You're wrong!"
"No! You just don't want to admit you care about someone! You're nothing but a coward running away from the truth," she snapped. The anger in her tone was the first sign that she even cared about the conversation. His eyes widened before a torrent of shadows was launched in her direction.
"Die!"
Ignoring the screech she tilted her head back knowing that he wouldn't kill her. No one would dare to kill a sacrifice right before the creation of a stone. Seconds before he could touch her, Father shouted his name before something wrapped around her waist. Gasping, she barely had a moment before being slammed into the ground on top of the circle. Blinking at the sudden change she winced as pain ran through her body; closing her eyes tightly she ignored the cries of victory.
The others cried out and tried to struggle but she tried to relax. She wasn't afraid, Ling was close enough to the center to be alright while Greed would keep KImblee safe. Bido was the only one not safe right now. There was nothing she could do to stop this from happening but she didn't need to stop it. She needed to wait until it was over then launch her counter attack. This entire area would be turned into the arctic the moment she got the signal from Greed. Opening her eyes slowly as the pain faded and the other launched themselves up, she ignored them in favor of reaching up to grab her Philosopher stone.
Five
Father smirked and began to brag about gaining the power of God. She didn't mind being around those that craved power, it was respectable for a person to strive to be better than they were. Yet this man sought to steal that power instead of earning it for himself. Pushing herself up into a sitting position with one hand she frowned. She could tell that none of her bones were broken.
Four
Edward and the others shot upward to continue the fight as if being slammed into the ground was nothing to them. They had no patience and it showed when they leaped at the Homunculus instead of trying to discover what abilities he'd been given. It was slightly amusing that the man didn't even stop monologuing as he fought them off. Why did every villain have to monologue wouldn't it be much easier just to kill their opponent rather than talk?
Three
She turned her attention to Pride who was mocking Edward. Watching them fight she was hardly impressed by the spectacle, instead, she focused on analyzing the anger that still fueled Pride's movements.
Two
She felt the ice gather around her fingers as cracks began to form in the ceiling. Closing her eyes for a moment, she centered herself for the battle to come knowing that it could very well kill her.
One
The ceiling exploded sending rubble tumbling down as Hoinheim's trap came into effect. Greed launched himself at his creator with enough speed to become a blur while Aria clapped her hands and pressed them against the floor. Clotheslining the man, he stood over the form of his father right the entire chamber iced over causing Edward to cry out in shock. The soft crunch of boots alerted her to Kimblee and Ling landing beside her as Envy came crashing down to stand between them and Father.
As the first Homunculus tried to push himself off the floor sharpened spikes of ice bloomed piercing his body before ice sickles branched from the spikes holding him in place. Hearing the screams of the first Homunculus did nothing to stop her attack as those ice sickles branched out into smaller ones that ever decreased in size until his body was covered in icy thorns that multiplied too fast for his regeneration to keep up.
Red light shinned from the pendant around her neck catching the attention of Pride who snarled and sent a blade of shadow in her direction. The blade was quickly blocked by Envy who charged at their brother catching the smaller Homunculus off guard. Sharing a glance with Ling, Kimblee smirked before following Envy who would honestly need the help. Laying a hand on Aria's shoulder, the prince frowned. He didn't like that Aria was using so much energy to keep the Homunculus in place.
"Well, how does it feel Pops to be brought to your knees by a little human girl," Greed asked mockingly. His nails sharpened into claws as he drove his hand into the man's chest. With the effort of regeneration, the first homunculus was too caught up in pain to register the action for a moment, and his stone was unable to stop Greed from absorbing some of it's power. The euphoric feeling of draining his Father's stone was almost overwhelming but not so much that he didn't notice the exact moment that Father realized what was happening.
Eyes widening in shock and horror, the blonde man struggled to pull away from Greed's grip. An action that caused nothing but a dark smirk to appear on Greed's face. This was what he'd waited for since the moment he'd been brought back into the fold, this was the vengeance for all his chimera. He would drain every last ounce of Father's power while the man laid helpless; it was almost poetic. This was what the man deserved more than anything else in the world and he was glad to give it to him. There was nothing that would make this moment better than seeing the light fade from Father's eyes. This was justice for those that Wrath took from him on this man's orders.
"Greed!"
The shout gained his attention dragging him away from his much-deserved victory. Envy had dragged themself out of the wall enough to point to the form of their oldest brother rushing toward Aria and Ling. The murderous expression on his face was terrifying enough without the blade of shadow twisted around his arm aimed toward the kids. For a brief moment, Greed froze, knowing that if he stopped that he would never get another chance, but if he stayed his kids would get hurt.
A curse left his lips as he ripped his hand from Father's chest and went after Pride. It was easy to see Ling's relief when he kicked Pride away from the two kids, however, it also meant his shot at revenge was over. His kids were safe, and he'd managed to absorb at least a fifth of Father's stone. That should've been enough but it wasn't. The sound of Aria collapsing caused him to twist and turn his attention to his Alchemist. Kneeling beside the girl he wasn't surprised to see the sweat covering her forehead or the paleness of her skin.
Laying a hand on her back, he frowned when he noticed the eerie red glow of her stone was still shinning and her hands were pressed against the floor. She was still pinning Father in place something that was both amazing and worrying. Muttering a quick order for her to stop, that went unheard, he sneered as Pride sent another wave of shadow in their direction. Grabbing both the kids, he jumped back avoiding the attack. Ling's complaint at being carried away like a child was drowned out by an explosion from Kimblee.
Dropping Ling, he turned his attention to Aria gently lowering her to the ground. His little Alchemist was exhausted. Ignoring the sounds of battle, he didn't hesitate to run a hand through her hair whispering, "You did good."
Feeling her relax at his words he flinched at the sound of Father finally breaking free that was followed by the man snarling something about wanting to get revenge; however, the man did cut his losses and make for the surface leaving Pide behind. Ordering the prince to watch her, Greed leaped off the ground following the man. This left Ling to sit awkwardly beside Aria who seemed to be contemplating trying to follow the two Homunculi just like everyone else in the room. Ed and the others had already trailed after Father hoping to stop him before he could kill anyone.
Feeling his hand twitch, Ling wanted to follow them, but he also realized that there was no way he could leave Aria. Especially when he considered that Greed might lash out if he did so. He'd learned Alchemy so that he wouldn't hold them back and here he was getting sidelined again. It wasn't fair that he was expected to simply sit by and watch as they went into danger. He was a warrior of Xing not some civilian unable to fight.
Raising a hand to her necklace, Aria stared at the spot where Greed had vanished before turning her attention to Pride. He was a Homunculus, her enemy, yet she felt sorry for him. It was obvious that he cared for his mother but was unwilling to acknowledge those emotions. He was so caught up in proving that he didn't care because unlike Greed he'd never been shown that caring for humans was okay. He'd never gotten the chance to be free enough to care for his mother. She wanted to help him.
Standing slowly she forced herself not to stumble even as Ling held out a hand to help her. Refusing his help she glanced around the room noting that it was only them, Envy and Kimblee who'd stayed behind to fight Pride. It would be far better for Kimblee to be fighting Father alongside Greed instead of staying down here to deal with Pride. Straightening the girl clapped her hands allowing the moisture in the air to condense until a pair of daggers were held in her grip.
"Hey Aria," Ling said taking her attention away from Pride. The cold glint in her blue eyes warmed just a bit when she turned to face him causing an almost reflexive smile to appear on his face. She looked much better when she wasn't the human embodiment of ice. He wanted her to return to Xing with him, it was a place she would never have to fight again. She would finally be free to simply live; he could only imagine how bright her eyes would be then. Taking a deep breath and deciding that this time he wouldn't chicken out he said, "When this is over… we need to talk."
Yeah, he chickened out again, but in his defense, her eyes were really pretty, and talking to her about coming to his homeland was one step away from asking to court her. Gaining a nod in return, he slumped as she rushed toward the ongoing battle giving him a moment to internally mock himself for being such a coward. He was just happy Lan Fan wasn't here to laugh at him for his cowardice. Unsheathing his sword, he sighed before following Aria into battle.
Kicking out at Pride's feet, the girl didn't hesitate to return the Homunculus's snarl with a glare when he jumped away. Tossing her dagger in his direction she felt more than saw Envy lash out with a punch as they tried to keep him from escaping. Having Kimblee set off flash bombs every few moments was helping too. Charging after her dagger, Aria winced as a blade of shadow cut across her arm but didn't stop moving. Instead, she reached out grabbing the hilt of her dagger and twisted on her heel before stabbing at Pride's chest.
Seeing the Homunculus smirk she narrowed her gaze as a torrent of shadowy whips lashed out pushing them away from him. Well everyone but her. The fact that Envy called out her name as they tried to deflect the attack mattered far less than the tendril of shadow wrapped around her neck. Tightening her grip on her daggers she tossed them in his direction only for the Homunculus to dodge the attack. From the gleeful expression, he wore he most likely thought she would start begging for her life; that wasn't going to happen. Clapping her hands she grabbed onto the solid shadow causing ice to spread.
Glee quickly changed to annoyance when the ice bloomed into curved vines that shot in his direction. Coughing as she was released, Aria didn't even take the time to press a hand to her neck before willing the remaining ice around her to life. Vines rushed after the Homunculus trying to catch him even as his own shadows tried to take her head. Knocking away his shadows with her own vines, she straightened feeling more at home surrounded by ice than she had before. Throwing a glance in Ling's direction she flickered her gaze to his gloves gaining a nod in return as a rapier of ice formed in her hand.
Looking down at the frozen blade she frowned before hearing Kimblee curse as he threw flash bombs to contain the homunculus. Her vines were still chasing him around the room trying to box him in as she waited for the moment he would hesitate. It came when his heel hit a raised piece of stone causing him to stumble. Kicking off the ground, Aria clenched the ice in her hand tightly as the vines converged keeping him from escaping. Her other hand pressed against the pummel of the rapier when Pride cursed loudly and sent a barrage of shadow in her direction. She should've been afraid, instead, she didn't even flinch as an explosion of light from behind her caused the shadows to dissipate. Ling's cheer at his accomplishment echoed as Kimblee cackled.
For a brief moment Pride looked panicked his eyes widening in the realization that he wouldn't be able to run away, then he closed his eyes and resigned to dying here. He was already crumbling away from overusing his stone, even if he did get away there was nothing waiting for him. There wasn't even a small part of him that believes his mom would take him back when she realized what he was. The differences between humans and Homunculi were far too great to be disregarded no matter what his siblings may think. His mom was better without him anyway.
It might've been ice but the blade burned when it drove into his shoulder pushing them both back. Crying out the Homunculus didn't even throw out his hands to stop himself from falling as they hit the ground hard enough that his head bounced off. Opening his eyes as he pressed a hand against his shoulder near her blade, he was surprised to see blue eyes looking down at him. Her blade had been aimed at his chest; it would have killed him, so why did she change her attack at the last moment? Glaring at the girl pinning him to the ground, he could feel the shadows twisting around them. Every instinct was telling him to stab her and get this over with.
"I win Pride," she stated once she'd gotten her breathing under control. He stilled shock blooming in his eyes as her comrades started rushing in her direction. Pressing his lips into a frown his hand twitched and the shadows responded forming a long blade that hovered above them. Never taking her eyes from him she ordered, "Go help Greed. All of you."
"A-"
"Go!"
Ling startled at the shout, he'd never heard her yell before. Gritting his teeth, the prince nodded slowly feeling more annoyance than anything else as he allowed Kimblee to create a platform of stone. Without taking his eyes from Aria he felt useless as the platform began to rise toward the surface. Why did she have to do this alone? Barely noticing Envy vanish, Ling startled as Kimblee gripped his shoulder. There would be time to worry about Aria after they defeated Father.
Shifting her grip on the rapier Aria pulled the weapon from Pride's shoulder unafraid of the blade hovering above before tossing it away. The ice shattered once it hit the floor leaving the two in silence as the Homunculus studied her. Moving slowly she sat beside him tilting her head as he laid waiting on his body to regenerate. It was obvious that he was close to death right now, if she wanted then there was no doubt in her mind that she could kill him. Instead, she waited for him to say something.
The first thought running through his mind was that his opponent was showing him pity. That quickly changed when she ordered the others to leave. If she'd wanted to brag about her victory then she wouldn't be here alone. In fact, the girl hadn't made any move to shame him about his loss. Somehow that was far more insulting than if she was dancing around the room mocking him. This was definitely worse than having her sing her own tune to victory.
Snarling he lashed out sending the blade of shadow at her throat. She didn't flinch, nor did the expression on her face change when it stopped mere millimeters from her skin. There was no fear or hesitation in her eyes just curiosity as she stared down at him. It was strange realizing that Greed's little pet wasn't normal. Any normal human would have had some reaction to the shadows not just sat there assured of her safety. Frowning he shifted to sit up as the shadows returned to normal.
"You're strange," he admitted. Although strangeness was something that Homunculi valued in humans. Looking her over he noticed the lack of reaction to the blood running down her arm before saying, "but I suppose I shouldn't expect normal from Greed's daughter."
"What!"
It was a squeak that left her lips in the form of a word. Watching her completely panic he smirked with amusement sparkling in his eyes. Oh, he could have fun with this. Shifting as the shadows curled in reaction to his amusement, he watched her physically calm herself down. It was easy to see the way her eyes went from cold to warm as her skin reddened at the idea of Greed claiming to be her father.
"I'm simply his Alchemist," she said while tugging on her sleeve.
"Doubtful," he drawled causing her to bristle.
"Does that make you Uncle Pride," Envy asked drowning out her mumbles. Looking up at his younger brother, Pride felt his eyebrow twitch.
"Envy," he greeted resisting the urge to toss him across the room. Instead, he narrowed his eyes ordering, "Don't call me that. You've sided with Greed then?"
"Duh, did you expect anything else," Envy asked crossing his arms. The tone reminded Pride of a teenager. Sighing he suddenly felt far older than he should've.
"Then you should get going. When Father fails to make a stone he'll try to take Greed's," he warned causing Aria to flinch.
"What!"
She hissed shooting to her feet. Cutting their eyes to the girl, both Homunculi stiffened when she stumbled. Pressing a hand against her head, Aria winced at the sudden feeling of numbness that spread through her body. The soft sound of distress that left her lips was the only warning that the two had before she was crumbling. For once Pride's shadows were gentle as he caught her without moving. Lowering the girl to the ground, he frowned as Envy moved to check on her.
"How unexpected," he muttered recalling his shadows. If only she'd fainted a few moments ago then their battle would've ended far differently.
"Well she is a kid," Envy said once they were sure she would be okay. Aria was thirteen, not a hardened warrior. They were actually shocked that she'd lasted this long without her body deciding enough was enough. Turning their gaze to the ceiling they stated, "I'll go save our brother."
Pushing himself to his feet as Envy turned into a bird and rushed off, Pride sighed. All this time he'd spent working for their Father planning the end of this country and sacrificing his own desires time after time. After spending so much time doing what he had to do, it was hard to know if he even had something that he personally wanted. Right now he did know that he wanted to see his mom even if she might reject him for being a monster. Twitching his finger he held out his arms allowing the shadows to raise Aria into his hold. Ignoring the rush of heat to his face when she curled against him he rolled his eyes.
"Why do I feel you're going to be trouble?"
(Greed)
He'd already covered his body in the ultimate shield to protect Izumi from an explosion so knocking away Father's attempt to grab him was easy. He knew the man was after his stone, it wasn't too hard to figure that out, hence why he was playing a game of cat and mouse with the man. With him as the mouse. Of course, that didn't stop him from mocking the man every time he got away. It kept the man's attention away from Ed and the soldiers as they attacked from the sides.
Hearing Father scream again, he grinned wickedly. Going on the offensive, he lashed out his claws tearing through Father's arm causing the man to stumble right into an attack from Mustang. Slinging the blood off his hand he glanced at Lan Fan who was twirling a kunai in her hand beside the old man. So far he'd managed to keep Father away from the two but he could only do so much on the battlefield. Still, they were his and no one was going to harm them. Dodging another grab he froze when he heard a gasp from behind him. Glancing back he met the dark eyes of May who was standing protectively in front of Alphonse. If he dodged, the two might get caught in the crossfire.
Straightening the man cursed and his eyes snapped back to Father as he raised his arms preparing to take the man head-on. Letting his eyes drift over every callus on the man's hand as it stretched toward him, he thrust his nails at Father's neck only for a knee to impact the man's head. Hearing a familiar cackle, he relaxed as Father was sent flying. Envy's expression was wild as they landed beside him with clear happiness at their action. The fact they'd just knead their father in the face was amazing especially when Ling followed the action by cutting off the man's arm.
Kicking the first Homunculus toward Kimblee, Ling swung the blood off his blade before straightening as Scar flew past him to slam a palm into Father's chest at the same time Kimblee slammed his palms into the Homunculus's back. The destruction from both sides caused the Homunculus to scream as his stone finally decided that it was done. Laying a hand on Ling's shoulder, Kimblee smirked as the Homunculus faded to ash.
Hi guys: Father is dead, yay. Moving on what did you guys think about this chapter? I love all the reviews I've gotten on this story so far.
So there's going to be a time skip between chapters 15 and 16. Right, so everyone knows those crossovers where Harry is summoned back to the wizarding world during the Triwizard tournament; this is going to be one of those stories. On the upside, she won't be the only one summoned and Chaos will make an appearance soon.
Stay safe and have a good day
