Metallic Hearts [FullMetal Alchemist Part Thirty-Eight: With The Rivers Flow
Ed: "That damn Winry, she needs to be more careful when she does a tune-up. Piece a. . ." Ed punched the machine and it blew up. p
Al: "Now what are we gonna do? It's still a long way to Ishbal." p
Ed: "We're walking Al. It's the only thing we can do." p
Al: "What?! Are you serious? I may be able to do it, but there is no way that you could." p
Ed: "Do you have a better idea? There isn't a train that goes anywhere near Ishbal. And it's not like we can ask the military for anything. Stop whining and start walking. We're not getting any closer to Ishbal standing around in the desert." p
Al: "He should really learn to plan things better." p
Ed: "See, everything turned out fine." You had all reached a small town. p
Al: "What do you mean? We made it to some random town, that's all." p
Ed: "We may find a car in this town." p
Al: "Brother, you shouldn't be so impulsive, what you're about to do is just. . ." Soon after, the two started to fight. You sat down a few feet away from the two as they began to stick themselves in complex positions using Alchemy. p
You: "Oh, this is going to solve everything." Finally Ed got Al into a cage and stalked off. You rolled your eyes and let Al out. You both walked down the street. p
Al: "He's such a numskull. I mean, I was trying to tell him, in the end. We're going to have to face her." Someone tapped on his armor. "Brother, I wondered when. . ." He turned around. "Marta!" p
You: "Long time no see." Marta noticed you wearing Greed's jacket and smiled. p
Marta: "I knew he had a thing for you." p
You: "What are you doing here?!" p
Marta: "Following you. I want you to tell me about your enemy. You know the ones dressed in black." p
You: "Why do you wanna know about them?" p
Marta: "Why else, for revenge." p
You: "That's wrong. That means that Law and Dorochet's efforts to save us were for nothing." p
Marta: "You know what I am don't you? I'm a Chimera, and I've gone through to much to live a normal life now. They were the only family I had left. There's no point in trying to stop me. I'm half snake. Vengeance is in my blood. There's no other reason for me to live, and they're your enemies too right? We'll be helping each other." p
You: "I have no plans on helping you with revenge, so I'm not going to tell you anything. Because your comrades would say the same thing. Goodbye." And you walked away. p
Ed: "Lita! Al! Looking for them always gives me a headache." He remembered back to when they were kids, every time Lita was upset she'd go down to the river. Al drew a transmutation circle in the ground and the dirt molded into a cat sculpture. You smiled and took it from him. You heard Ed approach before Al did; Al saw the shadow and turned around. Seeing Ed he jumped into fighting position. This brought back a flashback. "Let's go." You shook your head and smiled. Al walked ahead and as you walked past Ed he grabbed your hand. "You haven't changed at all. When we were little, and you were upset, I could always find you by the river. Guess we're gonna have to walk." There was a honk and Marta came by on a motorcycle with a large wagon attached to it. p
Marta: "Want a lift?" You smiled. p
Ed: "Is that someone you know?" p
You: "She was with Greed." You all hopped into the car. p
Marta: "Everybody ready?" You looked over at Al. p
You: "What are you thinking about?" p
Al: "Well, Ed. Do you remember that first time we got into a fist fight?" p
Ed: "Yeah, you curled up your little hand and punched me in the face." p
Al: "We fought about everything. Especially about who was going to marry Lita." p
You: "You did, really?" p
Ed: "Yeah, that's when we fought the hardest."
