Metallic Hearts [FullMetal Alchemist Episode Forty-One: Holy Mother
Scar: "Don't you see? After these people lost Cornello a wide spread panic set in. The higher ups at Central saw this as a higher opportunity. A slaughter masked as crowd control. That opportunity was created because of you, Lita. And the people of Lior are destined to suffer the same fate as the Ishbalans if the military has its way. I will create the Philosopher's Stone and stop this oppression once and for all." Scar turned his back to you. p
You: "Can you really blame me for this? How was I supposed to know that Envy would transform into Cornello? How can you blame of this on one person? On me? You know I'm not like that, Scar you know I meant no harm." He stared blankly at you but turned to the cheering crowd. p
Scar: "We must stand together my brethren. Any violence on our part gives those military vermin's the authorization to destroy us. Lure them in but do not resist." You sat shackled in a tower. You listened to the two armed guards babbling about Rose being the Holy Mother. p
You: "Listen, as long as you're taking orders from someone else, nothing is ever gonna change." Lyra walked in and pushed them outside. p
Lyra: "You must understand, Lita. Not everyone can be as strong as you. You're a cat woman. Every smell, every sound, every sight, incredibly heightened. Not only that, you have a fierce personality and amazing self-confidence. Living a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that you have been given. Not everyone has this gift." p
You: "Are you almost done, your smell is making me nauseas." p
Lyra: "What do you plan to do about Scar?" p
You: "Something, I sure as hell can't let him go through with this." p
Lyra: "I agree. Despite Scar's best intentions there will be civilian casualties. And if he is unable to transmute the soldiers into the stone. Well that's a risk we can't take." p
You: "I thought you were one of Scar's biggest fans." p
Lyra: "My true allegiance is to the people of Lior." p
You: "I need your help. I have to send a letter."
Roy: "He arrived this morning with a letter addressed to me." p
Ed: "Is it from Lita? Is she all right?" p
Hawkeye: "Yes, and according to her letter Scar has turned the entire city into a Transmutation Circle. She's warning us to stay out of Lior no matter what happens." p
Al: "Looks like Scar is going to use the people of Lior as components for a Philosopher's Stone." p
Hawkeye: "What did you say?" p
Al: "In order to create the Philosopher's Stone you have to sacrifice human lives. In Scar's method, thousands of lives." Roy seemed to have a sudden fire in his eyes. p
Roy: "Ed, Al you're heading for Lior straight away, I would go with you, but it would look suspicious. Bring her back to me, alive." p
Scar: "Do not be deceived, they are only trying to provoke us into making the first move. Stick to the plan at all costs and we shall be victorious." p
You: "You really think that'll work?" Scar looked up to see you standing in the rafters. p
Scar: "How did you escape? Come down now and I will not harm you." p
You: "Cats come when they feel like it, not when they're told." You leaped down landing on the table on all fours. "You want to treat me like a criminal that's fine, you want to treat me as your enemy and devil that's fine. But don't ever treat me like your pet." He stared into your flaring eyes, seeing his calm red eyes softened your once silver ones. p
Scar: "If I can't tell you then I can only ask you to look out for these people." p
You: "What? Don't I get Din-Din first?" He walked out the door and you followed him. p
Scar: "What are you doing here?" p
You: "Like it or not, I'm going to help you." p
Scar: "You're a military rat now." p
You: "Don't belittle me, cats are higher on the food chain. And as I said before, cats do what they want, not what they're told to do." You jumped onto the top of a building. "This is my expertise. Anyone I should be look out specifically for?" His eyes darkened. p
Scar: "Kimbley and a hoard of Chimeras." p
You: "I'm on it, don't do anything irrational." You leaped from building to building, the sound of explosions leading your way. You stopped as a blue haired man walked through Lior in a military outfit. You remembered him from your encounter at South Headquarters, you leaned back and hissed, remembering him trying to turn Al into a bomb. The Chimera's tensed up and ran foreword, each Chimera that ran at him, Scar destroyed them. p
Scar: "So it is you. The Crimson Alchemist." p
Kimbley: "Who the hell? Ah, now I remember. That scar is definitely my handy work. I thought I got your arm too?" p
Scar: "I swore an oath not to kill another State Alchemist. But I'll make one last exception." Kimbley used the Philosopher's Stone Ring to blow up the ground in front of Scar, who came at him from the left, but Scar's arm reacted to the Stone. You noticed your chance and leaped towards Kimbley, enclosing him into a Litaconrana and jumping over to Scar. You grabbed his shoulder as he yelled out in pain. p
Kimbley: "Two birds with one stone, I was sent here specifically for you, Kitten." Scar growled and grabbed you. p
Scar: "I wont let you. I wont let you do the same thing to her as you did to Rose. I wont let you!" Ed ran into a house that was said to house refugees. p
Ed: "You go look through the city, I'll look down this escape and see if I can find anyone." p
Al: "Right." Ed ran down the halls and gasped as a wave came crashing down on a group of people. The water lifted up and the people trapped inside began to suffocate. As the others ran away, Ed ran to the problem. p
Wrath: "I've been waiting for you, Edward Elric." The water disappeared. p
Ed: "Well well well it's teachers kid." p
Wrath: "It's Wrath. Wrath!" Ed dodged most of his attackes until he was backed into a wall, then Ed looked up as a baby started crying. p
Ed: "Rose? Rose, you idiot, run!" p
Wrath: "Make it stop! Now!" He ran at Rose. p
Ed: "Not so fast!" He used his Alchemy to pin Wrath to the ground. "Get out of here! Go!" Al jumped as an explosion rocked the ground. Kimbley jumped through the whole and Scar quickly came after him, followed by you. p
Kimbley: "Do you really think it wise to be chasing me around like this when the military could step in at any moment, Scar?" p
Scar: "Oh, I think I'll chance it." p
Kimbley: "Why would you want to do that? Just hand over the girl, and I'll leave everyone alone. I was given exact orders to pin her rape and death on you. All I want is to become a hero to my leaders." p
Scar: "That's one death, were you also ordered to massacre all of these people?" p
Kimbley: "No, this is all just for me. At the end of the day all a human is is the components for a common bomb. If you think about it we're not that special, not you not me. We're all empty. We're all worthless." p
Al: "I may be empty!" A Transmutation Circle was made around Kimbley. A stone hand shot up and enclosed itself around Kimbley. "But I'm not worthless!" p
Kimbley: "Cut me some slack Al. I'm just a State Alchemist trying to do his job. Just like your brother, and Kitten." p
Al: "Don't you ever say that! You're just a murderer. And you've got to stop this. It won't change anything!" He turned to Scar. p
Scar: "Stay out of it Al, you don't understand." p
Al: "What will you accomplish, by shedding more blood? Please, just walk away." The stone hand blew up and Kimbley made a dive for you. Scar jumped into the way and Kimbley attacked his left arm. p
Kimbley: "Well, whatdya know. I managed to get rid of both of your arms! Any second now your arm will begin to absorb the Oxygen in the air." You turned away as Scar used his right arm to destroy his left arm. p
Scar: "You say humans have no impact, no meaning. Let's see how much of an impact on you!" Scar ran forward and stuck his arm through Kimbley's chest. p
You: "Scar. . ." p
Scar: "Go and find Edward. I must do what you cannot." You shrieked and Scar looked behind him. Kimbley grabbed Ed's watch from your pocket and threw it at Scar. Stones inside the watch were absorbed by his arm." p
You: "What were those Stones doing in Ed's watch?!" p
Kimbley: "Really Kitten, you didn't expect me to play without a loaded deck did you?" p
Scra: "Lita. . ." p
Kimbley: "It was going to be so magnificent, Kitten. Farwell, my friend." Al pushed you out of the way at the last second and he screamed as Kimbley turned him into a bomb using the last of his breathes. p
Ed: "What are you doing here?" p
Sloth: "Hello, Edward. My son, why, why didn't you bring me back to life?" p
Wrath: "Give me the body I deserve!" p
Rose: "Ed. . . Get up Ed! Ed move. . .forward!"
