Sacrifice

Edward, Winry and Pine rushed up the stairs from the basement into a room that looks like a library. "There's a phone!" Edward said, and ran over, dialing the military's number. "I want to speak to Colonel Mustang! This is the Fullmetal Alchemist!" Edward said quickly. "What? Yes! Six-six-pineapple-eight-four!"

Edward waited for awhile, coughing into his hand. He vomited on the ground, holding his stomach. Winry ran over and helped him up. "Ed!" Winry cried. Pine also retched and vomited. "What the hell did he do to both of you?" Winry cried, tears forming in her eyes. "Don't worry, Winry. We need to get out of here."

"Hello? Roy Mustang." A cool voice sound at the other end.

"Colonel. Its about this town you asked me to investigate, too bad it has no name! Okay? This guy is supposed to be sentenced to death. His name is Callister. He was the Venom Alchemist called Fiar. Okay?" Edward said quickly.

Roy was silent through the whole of this, then when Ed had finished, he said, "Alright, I'll come over right now. Just don't get killed, Fullmetal!"

"I know." Edward slammed down the phone. "Come on." He said, running through the only door in the room, leading straight into the hall, with the front doors that Ed had come through just a day ago. Outside was bright, and Edward knew it was in the afternoon already.

"Through here." Edward opened the front door and then ran out.

Only to be met by Callister, who had woken up and somehow taken a shortcut out. "That hurt, missy." He said, growling at Winry. Edward tensed. He clapped his hands together and formed a blade out of his automail and swung it at Callister. Callister dodged it swifty, whipping out a dagger, long and sharp. He jabbed it at Edward, and Edward dodged as well.

"Grrr…" Edward swiped out at him again as Winry and Pine ran towards the gate. They tried it, but it was locked. "Ed! Its locked!" Winry cried. Pine started drawing a transmutation circle. Callister saw it. He ran towards her as he kicked Edward away. Callister pushed Pine away from the circle and constructed a wall, so that they cannot get to the gates. "Oh no, girls." Callister swiped at Winry and Pine as they screamed and fell over.

Edward leapt towards Callister, clinging onto his back. Callister yelled and tried to shake Edward off. They stumbled around. Edward saw the broken pieces of Armour that was once Al, but the armor legs were missing. Edward hit Callister and he collapsed. Ed ran towards Winry. "Winry, give me Al's seal." He said, panting.

Winry nodded and passed it to him, and he ran towards the remains, clapping his hands together. "Ed!" Al cried. BASHOOM. The piece of metal with Alphonse's Blood Seal merged with the remaining pieces of armor. Alphonse was full once again. Edward smiled. "I used part of your remaining armor to substitute the missing parts…" Alphonse ran towards Winry and Pine. "Al?" Edward asked.

"Edward you… selfish moron!" Alphonse cried. Winry and Pine were cowering against each other. While Edward was trying to fix Al, Callister had risen again, walking towards the two girls with the dagger in his hand.

Edward's eyes widened. Alphonse pushed Callister away as Callister struck down with the dagger. The dagger flew through the air, flying straight down towards the two girls. They didn't notice it. Winry was screaming at Ed. "Edward! You moron! You are still as selfish as ever! You don't even care-"

Winry gasped as Ed suddenly embraced the both of them in his arm and pushed them to the ground. "BROTHER!" Alphonse screamed over a K.O.ed again Callister. The dagger glinted in the sunlight as it traveled down in a split second. Edward heard the arrival of the army cars, and a sickening sound.

Shrk.

Winry looked at Ed, whose face was in hers. Pine was underneathe Winry. Edward looked up at Winry and smiled. "Ed…?" Winry asked, staring at him. Then Edward's eyes closed and he fell onto them both, his weight crushing her. "Ed?! What…? What happened?!" Pine crawled out from a screaming Winry and gasped. "Edward Elric!" She shook him, turning him to his back.

Alphonse held his brother in his arms, shaking him. Winry saw it. The long dagger that had stuck itself through Edward's stomach. Edward's face was pale and blood spread across his old bandages, a trickle of blood appearing at the edge of his mouth.

"Edward?" Winry said fearfully. "Ed! Edward! No… no… you're not dead yet, aren't you? You just… you just recovered form the plague one week ago. Ed?! Edward… just…" Winry's tears fell to her hands.

BOOM!

Roy Mustang ran in, tad bit too late. "Fullmetal! Where is he?!" He yelled as the military men poured into the place. They got hold of Callister who was K.O.ed and dragged him out.

Alphonse Elric stood up, looking at Roy Mustang and Mustang saw it. The boy in the black singlet was lying pale and motionless in Al's arms, blood dripping to the glass below, a dagger protruding out of his stomach.

"Edward Elric!" Roy Mustang ran towards him. "I told you not to… get hurt! Fullmetal!"

Edward didn't stir. His breaths were shallow, almost disappearing. "Men! Get these people out of here, and send an ambulance. NOW!" Roy yelled. He looked back at Ed.

"Ed. Hang in there. Don't you dare die… you'll be court-martialed by me for not listening to a superior." Roy said, with some sort of sad humor hidden, his face angry.

Roy's anger dissipated for a moment when he thought he saw a smile on the Fullmetal Alchemist's face. The lights from the ambulance drew closer, and the case of the Canidae Plague came to a close.

The next chapter is the Epilouge.
