Izumi cracked her knuckles one by one, a murderous look in her eyes. I silently prayed. "Well?! Are you gonna answer me or not?!" She demanded. I nodded quickly, scrunching myself more into the wall.
"Teacher, it's not Brother's fault! He was the last to join the transmutation, it's only natural that he'd come back last!" Al explained hastily(Amestrian accent!), pressing a cloth to my nose hard. "Ouch!" I yelled, sounding muffled through the fabric and blood in my mouth. We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die... Ed chanted. "You're not helping!" I told him.
She stopped and thought about it, then smiled. "Yes, I guess you're right." She replied with a sheepish grin. I sighed in relief. Al/Melissa (I really can't tell who is who at the moment) stared at me and briefly pulled the cloth off my face, allowing me to finally breathe. I blinked; the blood from my nose was only smeared all over my face. She sighed. "Geez, does this always happen to you?"
Okay, that was definitely Melissa. "I blame her." Ed said through me. Ugh, second time he talked through me without asking!
"Dammit Ed, let me do the talking!" I shouted at him. "Do you know how boring and aggravating it is to sit around and watch you mess up!?" He replied angrily.
"Um..." She muttered as I argued with...um...myself. Izumi walked over and hit my heard hard. "Quit fighting. Some of the others are coming." She said quietly. I stared at her. How did she...
"All Amestrians can talk to each other telepathically if they're close enough." I suddenly heard Al's voice in my head, and I really meant Al's voice. "What?!" Ed and I gasped at the same time.
"Sis!" Rei came running over, her eyes wide as they scanned over my face. "On no, your face is all bloody! What happened?!"
"She happened." I muttered with a weak point at Izumi, who ignored it. I glared at her, wiping my face with the back of my sleeve.
"Oh, you're Ayumi's sister?" Melissa smiled kindly. I stifled a fangirl squeal. "I'm Melissa. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Serena! But you can call me Sailor Moon!" Rei said stubbornly. I snorted. Idiot. "Sis, when did you find Al and Izumi?" She asked, staring at me, then glanced at RIKU. "Who's he? Cute." She added. Riku blinked.
"Don't talk that way to my brother." Izumi said stiffly, glaring at her. "I'm Jessica by the way." She pointed to Riku. "And that's Dylan."
I like Riku better. I decided, dubbing that his name for eternity.
"Okay." Rei nodded and faced me again, one of her massive blonde pigtails slapping Melissa in the face. I snickered. "Ayumi, Kiyoko...I mean, Lust found two other Amestrians, isn't that awesome?"
"Woah, really?"
"Who are they? Jessica/Izumi asked. Rei shrugged and pointed her annoying plastic scepter thing in front of us. I spotted Kiyoko walking towards us with two other cosplayers behind her and quickly scrambled to my feet.
"Ayu-chan!" A Roy cosplayer with longer black hair then usual and wearing a blue miniskirt besides the rest of the military ran up to me and hugged me tightly. My breath was knocked out of me as she squeezed the life from me. Ed stared ranting about two girls hugging in a public place. Ignoring him as usual, I squeezed myself out of Roy's arms. "I'm guessing I know you?" I asked, trying to catch my breath.
"Ehehe...I guess you wouldn't recognize me like this..." Roy muttered in embarrassment. I nodded slowly, smiling at the fact that Roy here was wearing a miniskirt, and very tempted to say the line. Ed threatened me not to though. Dammit.
"So anyway, who are you guys?" I asked, also gesturing to the other cosplayer, which turned out to be the Scar cosplayer Kiyoko was talking to before. From up close, he was a lot cuter, and his silver hair fell over his red eyes more, automatically making him hotter. Squee!
"Well, that's my brother, Nick." Riku said, pointing to Scar. "Big family." I heart Melissa mutter, mostly to herself. Riku laughed. "I have another sister; she's Jessica's twin. Wonder where she went..."
"Hey, Ed, you don't suppose this other twin's another reincarnation, do ya?" I asked him. "Probably. Looks like half of this guy's family is Amestrian." Ed replied in a bored tone.
"And you know me, Ayumi. I'm Eli, remember?" She smiled. I asked, my eyes widening. "Eli!" I squealed, throwing my arms around her. "Ew, stop it, I'm hugging Roy!" Ed shrieked, forcing me to let go. Jessica rolled her eyes, along with Kiyoko.
"Who's Eli?" Rei asked curiously.
"Fanficcer and Ranger. She's one of my closest friends online!" I announced with a smug grin. "But..." I stared at her. "Why the miniskirt?"
"His fault." She muttered angrily, then grinned. "I think it looks cute. We should all be able to see her legs, right?" She asked us. Dammit, she's Roy now.
"Pervert." Kiyoko said, but smiled. "But that's what I love about you."
"Woah! This is getting way too strange." Riku cut in, his face flushing pink.
"Totally." Jessica and Melissa both agreed. I shrugged and glanced at Scar, who was glaring at me with a murderous look in his eyes. I shuddered and gulped, quickly looking away. "S-so...um..." I stuttered, still getting the killing vibe from Scar. "Did you guys find any of the others?"
"Not yet, but I'm able to find them using telepathy. I'll try talking to any in the area." Jessica said, folding her arms over her chest and looking bored. "In the meantime, I have to go look for my sister. Dylan, Nick, come with me." She snapped, turning and walking away. Riku sighed regretfully, waved and followed his older sister. Scar sent me one last 'I'm gonna kill you' glare and stomped off.
Why do I get the feeling that he wants to kill us all?" Eli asked wonderingly, shuddering a bit. "'Cause he does." Melissa and I answered at the same time. We looked at each other and smiled, like we had some secret brother/sister joke only we knew. Alas, I didn't get it as usual.
Rei suddenly gasped loudly. "Oh no, I forgot to tell you! Mom wanted us back so we can unpack!"
I slapped my forehead with my palm. "Dammit Rei, you idiot!" I cried out with a sigh, facing the others. "Sorry! I'll see you tomorrow, 'kay?"
"Sure!" Melissa smiled in a cute, Al way again. Eli shrugged. "Okay. Just don't get lost. Or stepped on." She said casually, going back to having that Amestrian accent. I grinned forcefully; I would've punched her in the face if it was anyone but my friend, so I let her get away with a quick short rant.
"Oh, and Brother, meet me here at midnight." Al said in my head again. I blinked and stared in her direction, but she only kept smiling. I finally sighed and waved them goodbye. "Let's go!" I yelled at my sisters, running off.
-
"Took you long enough!" Mom scolded, flicking my nose. I scowled, covering my face with my flesh hand. "It's not my fault, it's Rei's!" I whined, pointing a finger at her.
"Excuses, excuses. Don't blame others." My mom said, wagging her finger in my face. I glared at Rei, who stuck out her tongue at me.
Mom dropped a pair of keys onto my head with a big smile. I blinked at her as I attempted to tangle them from my hair and quickly succeeded. "What's this?"
"Your father and I decided that you're old enough for your own room now! Since you have Ed to 'supervise' and all." She winked at me. I looked over my shoulder at my dad, who was giving me a strange sate, like I had two heads or something. I sighed, I bet he just thought I was crazy and didn't want me in the same room as him in case I attacked him in his sleep or something. Thanks, Dad.
I kissed my mom's cheek and smiled. "Thanks!" I ran down the fall, searching for my room number. I stopped at the door my mom was pointing me too. Room 14-08. Oh great, now I have a good feeling about this room. Not.
It took me three times to freaking unlock the gold doorknob. Finally it clicked, and I swung it open.
"Woah!" I gasped. My room was awesome! The walls were painted aqua, like my room walls, with all this white furniture decorating the room. I ran inside, spotting the flat screen TV in front of a large bed with a leopard print comforter. A mini-fridge wasn't far off, leading to a small kitchen in one room, and a bathroom across from it.
"Looks kinda cramped." Ed commented in a negative tone. As usual, I ignored him, running back to my mom and hugging her tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
She patted my head. "Go thank your dad too." She told me with a smile. I nodded, running to my dad and hugging him. "Thanks!"
"Whatever." He answered, briefly returning the hug, but only for a second. I huffed; if I was possessed by a girl spirit, he'd be just fine!
"You're so lucky!" Rei whined, sulking on her bed in her mini-room. "I want my own room!"
"Quit complaining, I'm the one who has to share a room with you." Kiyoko snapped angrily, secretly flipping her off when she wasn't looking. I grinned, almost skipping back to my room.
Plopping myself on the unusually soft bed, I checked the time on the television box. It was still two hours 'til I had to meet with Melissa and Al. Grabbing the remote, I flipped it on and switched it to channel 507 and grinned. They had Anime Network here!
"Seriously, don't you think of anything other then anime?!" Ed groaned. I smirked. "Nope, not really." I answered smugly, going to the Action Zone on TAN. "Yay, new episodes of Elfen Lied!" I already saw and fandubbed all the episodes in Japanese, so it was my first time watching it in English.
I clicked on its link and it started. I fast-forwarded through the intro theme of genre, and the parental guidance label. "Hey! Why did it say this was rated MA?!"
"Who knows?" I liked, playing it so it would start at the theme song. I loved the song Lilium. "Gah!!?!" Ed yelled. My head suddenly twisted to the right, making my neck crack.
"Bloody Hell!!!!" I shouted in pain. I tried to turn my head back to the TV, but it was stuck. "Ed, what the hell?!" I yelled, trying to twist my head with my hands.
"That girl was naked! I'm not gonna watch porn, Ayumi!" He yelled back. We exchanged Amestrian curse words until the theme song ended. Ed let me watch again, but every time something like that happened, he'd jerk my head around again. I finally gave up when my neck started throbbing and turned off the television.
"Finally! Does your mom know what you're watching?" Ed questioned in disgust. Instead of arguing like I wanted, I just replied, "No, she doesn't."
"Oh." Ed deadpanned. I sighed. Ten minutes until it was time to go. I reached into my black suitcase and pulled out my notebook and favorite pen. "Fanfiction again?" Ed sighed.
"A couple of days ago, you liked it." I muttered, flipping to the page I was up to in the story. After just staring at the page, I decided I couldn't write and started doodling the flamel in the notebook. I doodled it three times with different shades in each one, the first with a black cross and white snake, another with a white cross and black snake, and the third all fading from black to what. "Obsessed." He mumbled.
"Screw you." I said, getting bored and angry at the fact that I was bored. "I'm gonna make my own flamel." I announced to myself, staring at the paper blankly. "Why?" He asked. "Bored," I said, as if that would explain everything. Ed was silent.
I doodled different crosses, experimenting with them. I randomly got inspiration and made a cross out of four snakes, two long ones winding around each other for the base, another two for the other part. I grinned, making bat wings hover over the cross, and a halo to top it. "Whaddya think?" I asked him.
"I think you suck at drawing." Ed replied coolly. "Well, who asked you?!" I yelled angrily. "You did." He answered.
"Damn you!" I snapped, jumping off the bed. I smirked evilly and took off his signature red jacket, laying it out on the bed. Staring at the black flamel, I clapped my hands.
"What do you think you're doing?" Ed demanded. I chuckled evilly, patting a hand on my jacket. The cute little white sparks crackled out of my hand, and the jacket literally rippled like when you throw a pebble into a still pond. The black in the flamel dripped out of the flamel and soaked the scarlet red with black. The flamel twisted into my version but better made and went white. The transmutation stopped.
"Not bad for my second transmutation." I commented with a smile.
"You idiot, look what you did to my jacket!" Ed whined. "What's the bid deal, it looks cooler now." I picked the jacket up and put it on. It felt strangely warm, like I just ironed it or something. I glanced at the time. "Shoot, we're gonna be late!" I went to the window and pulled it open. Crisp smelling wind smacked me in the face as I swung a leg over the window opening.
"Are you crazy?!" Ed yelled. "Most likely!" I swung my other leg over and sat on the think window. My successful transmutation got me all excited, it made me feel like I could do anything I wanted. Not true, but whatever.
So I jumped, forcing myself not to scream. Ed did that plenty. It was kinda fun; I fell faster then I expected, and the ground was rushing up to meet me very fast...crud...I forgot my automail weighed me down! Frantic now, I clapped my hands and kinda swam to the side of the hotel, slamming my hands to the walls. The sparks I created zoomed down the building, onto the sidewalk, where a large hand formed, catching me at just the right second. I think the impact made my automail leg worse though.
"YOU IDIOT!" Ed roared as I clambered shakily from the concrete hand. I untransmuted it and smiled as convincingly as I could. "A-alchemy comes in handy sometimes...right, Ed?"
Ed was fuming, but didn't answer. I took this as a 'back off' and looked around the streets just in case, then set off half running, half limping down in the direction I had came.
It took about ten minutes of running to reach the convention center. It was dark and looked closed, but as I approached the door, it opened. Creepy. I crept inside, silently tracing my footsteps back to the room I had been in before.
The room was lit by a ghostly white light coming from a glowing transmutation circle in the center. It wasn't that large, but it was exactly like the one on the website. Melissa was standing on one end of it, looking more like a ghost then an actual person.
"What did you do to your jacket?" She asked as soon as I had gotten close enough to the light. I chuckled sheepishly. "Experimenting with alchemy?"
She laughed and waved me forward. I blinked, stepping into the circle. She did the same, and suddenly the transferring feeling washed over me. I lost control of my body instantly. "What?" Ed muttered with my mouth.
"Sorry Ayumi, but I needed Brother for this." She smiled, obviously Al now. Ed blinked and smiled. "Good to see you again, Al."
"Ditto. You don't know how much I've missed you." Al's grin widened and got a whole lot cuter. Yay brotherly fluff! Then Al's expression got serious. Still cute though. "So, you haven't gotten your memories back?"
"No," Ed frowned. "Not yet."
"You should've gotten them already..." Al replied thoughtfully. "Hm. What happened could've been too much to process this early and was stored in either yours or Ayumi's subconscious." Al suggested. Ed nodded slowly. "Makes sense."
"Okay then! Lie down Brother, I know how to get them back." Al smiled again. Aw! Ed sighed and did what he was told. "Just relax." Al instructed, bending down at our side. "You too, Ayumi."
How do I relax if I'm just a soul? I wondered, but tried to do what Al asked. Al clapped his/her hands and pressed his palm over my eyes. It went really warm and almost buzzed against my skin. It made my body feel feverish and dizzy. Ed closed my eyes, and suddenly I was falling through black...
-
The circle had been activated. Red light blasted from it, reflecting the circle on the stone ceiling. "Dammit!" I swore over the high pitched shriek the energy was cutting through the air. In the corner where it was darkness, Hiromu stood, her face unmasked and twisted with concentration, but shadowed so I couldn't completely see her. Her hands stretched out to continue the wild transmutation.
One by one, they walked into the center of the light and touched the diamond shaped point, and would evaporate into fading pieces. I could only watch as people I knew, Mustang, Teacher, even the homunculi vanished before my eyes.
Then Al stepped forward, his face hard with determination. My eyes widened as I grabbed his arm and pulled him back, away from the scarlet light. "Don't you dare do this, Al! It's too dangerous!"
"What am I supposed to do, Brother? I can't just let thousands of people die!" Al shouted over the wind. "You don't have to! Dammit, Al, I just got your body back! I can't lose you again!" I insisted in despair. He dropped his gaze from mine and shook his head, pulling his arm away. I tried to grab him again, but he dodged it, running into the light.
"Al! No!" I shouted, but it was too late. A crack pierced the wind for a second when he touched the diamond, and he burst into molecules and was blown away like wind, absorbed by the crimson light.
"No! Dammit...!" I glared at Hiromu, who was watching me expectedly. "Bring him back! Now!"
"He's already inside. He can't be brought back now." She replied calmly. I dropped to my knees, already overcome with the shock that he was gone. The light started to him, the reflected transmutation circle shrinking in size.
"It's up to you, Edward. Will you really let so many people die because you're a coward?" She asked. I clenched my fist, trying to ignore her. She shouted louder this time, "Are you gonna make your brother's sacrifice in vain?! Let him lose his body and stay trapped inside the Gate for no reason?!"
I gasped. She was right. The light flickered again, and I could tell she couldn't hold it any longer. I braced for it, and dashed into the transmutation light, slapping my hand down on its diamond. My body froze, feeling suddenly cold, then almost burnt with sudden warmth. Everything went black, as I felt my body fade away, and I was falling, desperately grabbing for the remaining, diminishing light as I plummeted into darkness...
