From the Previous Chapter:

"SIT DOWN...BETTER YET, LAY DOWN!" Mr. Tommy began stomping towards Ed, but Al jumped in front of the bulky man.

"NO!" Ed shouted as he finally stood completely.

But all the shouting stopped as the door flew open and First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye walked in, her hand to the holster of her gun.

CHAPTER FIVE: Mission Incomplete - Part ONE

Riza stood there waiting for Ed and Al to follow her. Ed took a step and grunted. Al moved to the side to allow his brother to pass him. The brothers remained silent until they reached their destination: Riza's Office. "You have been assigned a mission…Al…and Ed, you are to stay here…" Riza said to the boys.

"Wait…what? Not this again!" Ed threw up his hands and turned around, fuming angrily.

Al sweat dropped a little before turning his head to Riza. "Um…Lieutenant?" Riza looked to Al as Al sighed heavily.

"What is it?" She replied, her arms crossed over her chest.

"...Why can't brother come? Is it because he just got back from a mission that almost…uhm…k-killed him?" Al asked in a mannerly way. Riza looked at Ed, who pouted, and looked back to Al. All she did to reply was nod. Alphonse put a hurt look on his face, but the expression soon vanished as he thought of an idea. "Well, if it'll help brother…I guess I'll go on the mission…" Al said with a small smile.

"Okay, then…when Roy gets here, I'll send you to his office. Ed, you can go to his office too, but you can't go on the mission…even if you are a 'dog of the military'…sometimes, it's best to leave things up to people who aren't…" Riza said to Ed as Ed rolled his eyes. But he sighed and nodded shortly.

Soon after, Roy walked into Riza's office and the two Elric's followed closely behind him as Roy led them to his office. "As you both know, Alphonse, you will be sent on a mission, whether you agree or not, Fullmetal, you have to stay here." Roy said as they all walked into Roy's office. Roy took off his black long coat and hung it up, as well as his hat he wore to keep the rain from getting his hair wet. He then walked over to his desk and shuffled around through papers to find the file he had for Al. He sat down as soon as he realized it was the same file that he had given Ed, from earlier, and he gave up on the search. "Well, Alphonse, you are to track down those three Homunculi and do your best to ward them off or kill them." Al's eyes widened at the 'kill them' part of Roy's sentence.

Ed sighed and stood up. "I don't know why you aren't letting me go with him, but I disagree…he shouldn't have to go alone. Those three devils are far too dangerous for one man to take on alone." Ed said defensively. Roy threaded his fingers together and rested his head onto them. Sighing, the Flame Alchemist closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, adding the snoring and twitching along with it.

"Ed, don't you think I'd know that already?" Roy said in return to Ed's statement. The blonde alchemist shook his head and turned to the doorway.

"I'll be outside, in the hall…" Ed said as Al looked at Ed's back. Al felt hurt by this, but he held back any emotion until further time.

"Brother…" Al said depressingly. Why was he always so depressed? Al was way to kind to be that way. But it didn't matter right now. Ed had already left the room and was heading to a nearby bench.

Roy stood up and walked around his desk to Al and handed him a folder he had just found while Ed was being selfish. "Here, read this, it may help you…" Al looked up at Roy as the pyromaniac handed him the folder.

"Uh, thanks…?" Al asked shortly after he received the folder, and after that, he opened the folder and read what was inside. Al smiled and looked away from the folder and nodded to Roy, placing the folder back onto his desk. "Thanks…I'll be back after the mission…" Al said determinedly. After that, he walked out the door and darted into a dash passed Ed who sat on the bench, pretty pissed off at the time. "Hi brother, bye brother!" Al said as he flew on by the short, blonde alchemist.

Ed stood up as Roy sat down at his desk, Ed stood and thought. I'll follow him…he can't go out there alone… Al was by then running swiftly down the streets at a fast pace. Ed was just leaving the building as Al turned the corner into a side street off of the main street.

---

Roy suddenly realized he had left Ed out in the hall, and so, he got up and ran into the hall, looking for the Fullmetal Alchemist. "Dammit Ed, you shouldn't have gone!" Roy said as he ran into his office and grabbed his coat. He then ran back into the hall and to the front doors of the large building. Running out of the building, his mind protested on which way Ed had gone. Most likely down the main street and into the smaller parts of Central. Roy hustled and ran down the main street.

---

Ed ran and slowed down at each side street, yelling Al's name. "AL!" Ed shouted. No response, with the exception of the wind howling through the alleys, in between the buildings and houses. "Dammit, Al...where are you...?" Ed asked himself softly.

---

Upon hearing his name being called several times, Al stopped and listened to the person's voice, carefully making out each word. But it was just one word. "ALPHONSE! AL!" Al realized who's voice that was.

"Brother...? BROTHER! ED!" Al shouted with worry. He ran back the way he had came and turned, swiftly, onto a side street, and there, at the end of the long street, was Edward standing there. "EDWARD!" Al said as he ran as fast as he could to his eldest brother.

"Al...! Al...I followed you..." Ed said looking away, but then looked right back up as he heard his own name being said quietly by a voice he knew too well.

"Ed...ward!" She said, her voice dark with hate. It was Hatred. She was back...but as she came down, she disappeared. Ed was hallucinating...or was he?

---

"ED!" A bellowing voice said as a snap of the fingers gave the identity away. Roy was standing, not too far away, behind Ed. "You shouldn't have gone..." Flames roared upwards and chased Ed, throwing the Fullmetal Alchemist into the air.

When Ed landed, he landed harshly on his back, and he struggled to get up. Once on his feet again, he looked down, refusing to even glance at Roy, nor Al. "Dammit, Colonel..." Ed said, apprently pissed off. Roy stared at Ed, angrily and his fingers ready to be snapped. "You'll...you'll pay for that...here and now..." Ed said as he clapped his hands quickly, and formed his right arm into a semi-long blade, sharp and strong. Ed charged at Roy, but Roy's eyes now stared in shock. Roy's hand shook, and just as he was about to snap them, pain was inflicted heavily to his right arm-the one with the glove-and blood shed was Roy's only worries.

Upon Ed's blade was Roy's blood, stained heavily and binded to the metal. Roy dropped to his knees and he clutched his arms. Ed's blade vanished into his automail and the blood and metal mixture was now stained heavily. Ed used his alchemy to put his blade back into his automail. Ed's eyes were teary, and his heart beated fast. "Wh..." Ed stopped as Al came rushing past him.

"Roy...are you okay...?" Alphonse asked, his own heart beating rapidly.

"I'm...f-fine..." Roy said, wincing at the pain. Al looked over his shoulder and gave Ed a dirty look before looking back to Roy. Ed felt so angry, depressed, nervous...better to describe it, he was feeling mixed feelings...

---

Al ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it around the no longer moving arm. Turning around, he started to speak, "Ed, why'd y--Ed?" Looking around, he found nothing but buildings and the pavement. "No...Ed..." Al turned to Roy and explained quickly as Roy nodded. "I'll be back just as soon as I find Ed...I want you to go back to your home...not to Central...they'll suspect something..." Al said as he looked once again for his older brother...

---

Running away from the scene was the only way for Ed to escape this horror flick. What had caused him to try and kill Roy? He didn't know. But upon running, his mind turned, as well as his body and he was now, face-to-face with a tall brick wall. Ed turned around and sat. Ed's eyes were filled with guilt and sadness. But no tears came. He held those tears back, and instead, silent, invisable, maybe 'fake' tears ran streaming down his face.

"Ed! BROTHER!" Ed heard his name being called and he jumped up. Turning to the wall, he thought it may be a good idea to go through it. So he slapped his hands together in his normal routine, he thenclosed in on the wall and slammed his hands on it, making his usual electric-blue alchemical flash. Thus, he made a hole in the wall. He stepped in, and without further looking around, he reclasped his hands and touched the wall once again, making the wall appear once more, but making the pattern a bit different-the bricks didn't line up correctly.

He turned around and looked at his surroundings. "A ware house?"

A/N: Hey, well, sorry it took a while...I mean, it is a longer chapter...lol...

Anyways. You probably no what the next xhapter's name is...

But I'll give it away anyways, CHAPTER SIX: Mission Incomplete - Part TWO

Oh, BTW, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm adding a 'From the Previous Chapter' thing at the beginning to help me write it, and maybe help YOU understand it...
