Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Midway on the endless journey,
when we seem to stand still
We heave a deep sigh
I almost grasped it,
but it left me again
But now I'm not afraid,
of anything anymore
The strong bond that connects our hearts
Won't ever dissolve
We kept searching for and made our way
To the Period at this place
The warmth filled with love,
races through my body
My memories,
will never disappear again...
I'll definitely fulfill our promise,
and bring you along
(Holding) overflowing (dreams) wishes,
I let everything ride on my song
Without averting my eyes from the reality
Give me the courage to confront it
Turning sorrow and anger into strength
Destiny is right by my side
Beyond where I head toward, look
There's a sparkling world
This cheering that shakes me
Won't ever betray me
We live on together for our future's sake
In the Period at this place
The truth is at our fingertips!
Another explosion whacked the town. "Where is he." Kimblee growled out.
"WE FINALLY GOT THE ASSHOLE TRAPPED, AND NOW HE'S ESCAPED! WITH MARTEL! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP HER SAFE, DAMN YOU!"
"Ha ha ha. Wow, I never knew you were such a good actor."
'I'm not acting.' She thought to herself bitterly before she abruptly spun around and ran off, fists clenched at her side.
~Flashback~
"Yooooo, Yumi~!" Martel called as she walked into the room.
"Martel!? WHAT THE FUCK!" Yumi screamed, eyes narrowing worriedly at her.
"I was bored." She said calmly before heading back over to Scar. "So, this is the guy?" She questioned.
"Yeah." Yumi said, glancing down at him.
"I remember you." Scar said, eyes narrowing dangerously. "You were responsible for more of my people's death's than any state alchemist there." Yumi winced slightly.
"...I know."
"Why did you slaughter my people so mercilessly, and then grieve for them?" He snapped.
"...Not everything is as black and white as you would like to believe." She said quietly.
"WHY DID YOU MURDER MY PEOPLE THEN PRETEND TO CARE!" He screamed at her.
"I won't bother apologizing for the past. It wouldn't change anything. You wouldn't accept it. It wouldn't change the fact that I am responsible for their death's." She said slowly. "Besides. We have more important things to discuss."
"Like what?"
"What do you know about Xingese Alchehestory." She said, calmly placing a hand on her hip.
"...What concern of yours is that?"
"I have spoken to somebody named Dr. Marcoh, as well as a little Xingese girl named May. I believe you are familiar with them. The secret to this book," She said, holding the book up between two fingers in front of his face. "Is the key to getting Ed and Al their bodies back. They came across it while up here. It could also get Misery her own body so that I can have my body back to myself." She said calmly.
"What do you need me for, exactly?"
"I need you to translate it. With the help of Marcoh and May?" She suggested, eyebrows raised.
"...Why should I?"
"Because, If you don't...I'll be the one to hold you still while Kimblee blows you up into oblivion."
"What about those two Chimera's who know I'm here, and are waking up." Scar questioned.
"Perhaps I can help." Martel said as she stepped forward, grinning slyly at them.
"I should never have let her go with them. With him." She muttered as she kicked up snow in her path.
"Come on. You trust Kimblee more than him?"
"...Not sure. Scar is unpredictable, much like Kimblee. But even Kimblee is smart enough not to kill somebody in front of an entire region of soldiers for no reason." Yumi commented.
"What about those two chimera's, though? You think you can trust em'?"
"More than Kimblee or Scar, at least. Part of what unites us all, we're all striving for the same thing."
"To get your bodies back?"
"To stop 'Daddy'."
"I'm worried about what's happened to Zampano and Jerso." The blonde haired bodyguard of Kimblee's from before said as they waited inside for the storm to die down.
"There are two possibilities. Either Scar did them in,"
"Or their out there in the snow." Yumi muttered just loud enough for them to hear.
"This storm will have scar trapped too!" One of the...younger soldiers exclaimed in excitement.
"We know he has to be here somewhere, sir. Since we're stuck here, we might as well begin planning our next search." An older one said to Kimblee. 'Sucking up in hopes that he won't die?'
"Yumi?" 'Hm?' She glanced up to see Miles standing there.
"What is it?"
"The fort is no longer safe."
"WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN "the fort is no longer safe" ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE BLOODY POINT OF A FORT!?" She screamed at him.
"Keep your voice down!" He ordered. "The General has been summoned back to Central. Troops from Central have begun raiding Briggs in force. There's no doubt their acting on the Crimson Alchemist's orders." 'Damn you, Kimblee.' "When we were back at the fort, I noticed him making rather frequent phone calls." Miles said, eyes narrowing slightly in dread.
She sighed, hands tightening into fists. "This is bad, this is very very bad. Without General Armstrong there..."
"A commander hand picked by Bradley will be put in her place." Miles informed her.
"Wrath!? You've got to be kidding me!" She snapped. "With somebody like that there...what about Martel!"
"It will be difficult. If they're not careful, their bound to fall into the enemies clutches." She threw her hands up into the air and stood up, pacing in front of them.
"They won't know this has happened. We have to find some sort of way to warn them!" She exclaimed, rubbing her temples in frustration.
"There's no way we could catch up to them in a storm this bad."
"So we're just supposed to sit here and do-" She stopped abruptly as an idea hit her. "I'll go." She said, surprised that she had only just thought of this.
"What? This storm is too harsh for you to survive in alone!"
"If I were alone, yes. But I'm not exactly alone anymore, am I Miz?" She smirked as her eyes changed color.
"A homunculus can withstand temperatures like this. It'll be pretty easy for someone like me." Misery said with a smirk.
"Be careful..." Miles said.
She was struggling through the storm, mainly cause she couldn't see anything though. She had no idea how they were doing it. Yumi was in control of the body, yet she still managed to keep up the Homunculus advantages that came with Misery. She shrugged off the thought as she continued through the storm.
"Bloody hell. I can't see anything." She muttered as she brought her arm up to block her face from the storm. She blinked in disbelief as she saw an 8 year old girl with shoulder length black hair and green eyes. She stared at the child in shock. "...Yuki?" She gasped out in shock before the image disappeared and she collapsed on her knees in the snow. "Yuki! Was that her?! How!?" She exclaimed as she scratched furiously at her head.
"Hey, kid, focus here."
"What was that, Misery!?"
"We'll-"
"-Talk about it later!" Misery snapped aloud as she took control of the body and forced her way through the storm. "We have to hurry, kid. Before time runs out."
"Alphonse Elric. Edward Elric. Also, there's...Van Hohenheim. Izumi Curtis...She's a possibility. And then, there's the matter of my daughter and the little alchemist." Father murmured. "Hm... That still leaves one more..."
The promise that should never have been made,
Will try to steal our future yet again today.
Even if I gain the things that I wanted,
I honestly, still am not able to smile at all.
The pouring tears are not from weakness or regret,
It is born from the shards of all the pain.
No matter how time goes, fate goes along,
I know that there is only one thing, that is truly sure to me.
Thinking to myself, and being lost in this moment for so long,
I am, going to move forward
Woo! New opening and ending themes in this chappie! I was so excited when I noticed that, re-watching the episode this one is in.
I know this is really short and crappy, and Im so sorry for that! D: I'll try to update again later tonight when I'm supposed to be sleeping, or after I shower.
I'm gonna go have a look at the list of episodes and list the ones I'll be using in this story.
Review?
