Forgot to state in the last chapter, I don't know if that whole muscle control thing is true, but it fit well with the story. Also, all of my friends know not to say I'll brb, because they are never right back, especially in the card game of mafia. The story always goes that the person says I'll be right back and they end up killed. (Except in this case Edward won't be killed… It's not a death fic).

Apparently people liked the lemon, sorry if I got into it to heavy, I honestly have read more detailed stories on this site. A big thanks to all who have reviewed, I'm sorry I haven't mentioned any of you in here, but I'm glad you're here. It really has helped me keep up with the story. Anywho, on with the story. (And please don't kill me for this chapter or for how I portrayed Envy...…ducks flying objects).

Rewritten parts of this chapter to hopefully capture more emotion during the action scenes.

Ed's POV

I could feel myself slowly starting to wake up. I knew something had to have knocked me out because the throbbing pain in my head was slowly getting worse. I kept my eyes close to assess the situation, trying to fool my captor in case they were still here. I pulled lightly on my bonds, trying to see if I could get out on my own. Damn, he took my automail arm, and these chains are too tough to break.

"There's no point in trying to escape, Shane, or should I say Edward Elric. I made sure that you couldn't get out through alchemy or brute strength alone." I heard him chuckle. I opened my eyes and lifted my head to find him a few feet in front of me, sitting on a chair while I was hanging on the wall, left hand shackled above my head and both legs also trapped. "So, how did you figure out it was me?" I asked, stalling to give myself time to figure out a way out of this mess.

I heard him cackle, nearly falling out of his chair in the process. "It was easy, new guy arrives here after rumors of a serial killer pops up, and then he's suddenly called back to Central, and then he comes back with another person to work with him. I know you're a state alchemist, and I'm assuming that your partner is just a regular soldier, haven't seen a trace of a transmutation circle near him. Now, what should I do to you first?" Grrr, it's all that bastard's fault that I was found out. If only I didn't have to report back to Central when I did….Hold on a sec, do with me first? Crap, he's not planning on holding me for ransom.

The sounds of footsteps brought me out of my thoughts only to realize my captor was walking towards me. "I know! First thing I can do to torture you is to tell you who I am." He reached forward and tore off my shirt, only to bring his fingers to the scar in the middle of my chest. "I know how you got this one, boy; I did it myself all those years ago; fond memories, neh?" My eyes snapped open even farther at his words. No, it can't be!The gate got him…the gate… "So, Envy, you're still alive huh? Must say I'm surprised. Especially at all the random killings, that's not really your style."

He only grinned at me. "It was all to draw you here Edward, I knew they would send you. I just had to bide my time until I could lull you into a false sense of security, then I could spring my trap. I will kill you this time; no Al, no philosopher's stone, no coming back from the dead for you this time…but slower than last time. I didn't get to enjoy it very long. How about I start with breaking your arm and then your leg, but what to do after that?" He shrugged uncaringly. "Guess I'll just play it by ear." Crap, at least I'll still be able to stand on my left leg… you better get here soon Mustang!If you decided to listen to me for once I'll come back and haunt you!

Envy shifted back to his normal form and grinned as he grabbed my arm and twisted it around harshly.

SNAP!

I grimaced at the pain and bit my tongue. I had to ignore the fire that burned through my arm; I could not give Envy the privilege of hearing me scream. "No yelling, twerp? I'm surprised. I would have thought a pipsqueak like you would have been screaming after that." Twitching at the height taunts, I brought my gaze up enough to where I was looking him in the eye, glaring in defiance. I'll never give in. "Stuff it, palm tree, nothing you could ever do would make me scream. You're not worth it."

He gave me a calculating look, and then his eyes lit up. Without warning, he kicked out and I felt my leg break. A hiss escaped my lips as I switched my weight over to my automail leg. Fire was now burning through my leg and arm. The pain was getting harder to ignore the longer it went on. His hand on the side of my face brought me back to reality, making it a bit easier to ignore the burn in my broken limbs. Another pain blossomed through me, weaker than the others, originating where his hand landed. "Breaking bones to slapping Envy, is that all that you have?" I managed to say while smirking at him, which only made him madder. Good job Ed, make the crazy guy mad, but I have to stall for time.

"I know what you're trying to pull, twerp," he said as he grabbed my face. "It won't work; any help that might be coming will arrive too late for you to care." I could see his left hand out of my peripheral vision; it was tracing my automail port softly, like an animal circling its prey. "I know what will make you scream; this!" He cackled evilly as he shoved one of his fingers into one of the sockets. White lightening shot along my nerves. The pain of my broken bones was minor to this. The lightening scorched everything raw; made every little throb that much more painful. Do I taste blood? Damn, must have bitten through my lip on that one. "Is that all you got Envy?" I growled hoarsely, "if it is, you might as well just let me go." I saw him frown, then lightning washed over my nerves again as he shoved more of his fingers into the rest of the sockets on my port. My vision dotted with black as the pain became too much for my nervous system to handle.

Roy's POV

I sat around for a half an hour before following Edward to the club. After the night we just had, I wouldn't put it past him to have fallen asleep on the couch. Oh well, guess I'll have to carry him back. I stopped as soon as I entered Ed's dressing room. Something's not right, everything's where it's supposed to be… wait, where's Ed? Crap, I knew I should have gone with him.

SMACK!

What was that? Edward! I exited Ed's dressing room and crept towards the back of the club. A light was shining through a partially open door, showing that the sound had come from the basement. As I got closer to the door I could hear voices coming from below.

"Is that all you got Envy? If it is, you might as well just let me go." Edward's statement was followed by a hiss of pain, and then all was quiet. "Figures, he's not as tough as he thinks he is." I made it to the bottom stairs just in time to see the captor trail his hand down Ed's chest and along the crescent scar in the center. Of course, leave it to Edward to be kidnapped by a pervert.

"Too bad, little brother. I really wanted you to be awake while I killed you again, wanted to see the agony as you realized that there was nothing you could do to stop me from taking your life for the second time. Oh well. I'll still enjoy it." Wait, what? Little brother? Killed again? Who… crap." I slipped my hand in my pants pockets and pulled on my gloves as I walked forward, fingers ready to snap in a moment's notice.

"Step away from Fullmetal and I might let you live." I commanded, making sure my face didn't reflect the inner turmoil of seeing Ed hanging off a wall, unconscious. He turned towards me and laughed. "Hey, the twerp has a friend! Guess I'll get to pull a double homicide tonight. Die!" He charged at me with the spike he formed out of his arm. Damn it! He's a homunculus; I thought Ed killed all of them!Dodging left and right, and twisting to miss the spike gave me a clear view of an opening in his attacks. I snapped my fingers and a flame shot out and engulfed him.

I heard him scream and felt no remorse over killing him. "I warned you, now it's time for you to finally die." The homunculus known as Envy kept regenerating every time my flames died out, so I kept snapping, kept him surrounded by flames until he resembled an inhuman bonfire. Finally his regenerative abilities failed from lack of energy, and he became little more than ashes. I ignored the familiar stench of burned human flesh and stepped over the ash. I reached Ed and saw him looking at me, pain blazing in his eyes and obvious in his voice. "Thanks, Bastard" he managed to get out before unconsciousness claimed him again. I melted the locks on his chains and picked him up, intent on getting him to a hospital and getting some questions answered.
