I haven't the slightest idea how this happened, but it did. I had every bit of strength back in my body, just enough to make me want to fly. "Remind me to thank you, mister voice." And I was out of that missile and trying to find the blonde hag that deserved a beating. When I was out, I noticed one important detail, there was a butt load of tanks shooting alchemy canons.

"Ok, I'm going to blow some of these bad boys up." I grinned and lept from my spot and landed on the ground. "Only thing is, alchemy is a no go for me." I grumbled, rubbing my rapidly healing shoulder. Running off, I planned on finding a friendly blonde or two for some backup.

Low and behold, a shorty in a red coat flew past me. "EDWARD!" I yelled out and helped the boy up. Ed was panting as he looked me over. "Looks like fighting is out for you." I hit him in the shoulder. "You wanna bet? Point me to Eckhart and I'll pulverize her." I extended my right clawed hand for hit to see that I was very serious. "Alright, She's in that one." My eyes were led to a massive tank shooting with a violet alchemy canon. Before Ed could give me any pointers, I was bounding over to the contraption.

Pissed off and ready for blood, I tore the hatch open. "Knock knock, Doll." I gave a sinister smile as I stalked over to the control room. Eckhart was facing the window and guiding the tank around, not even sparing me a glance. "Yo, Eckhart. Hope you enjoyed tearing me apart, cause it's my turn." She spun around just as I launched to her side at lightning speed.

The only sound that escaped the mad woman's lips was a gurgling gasp as my claws sank into her stomach. "Stupid woman, you can't tame a wolf." I let my hand grasp her spine and a sickening snap was heard as Eckhart slumped to the floor. "Hope Ed has a way to get rid of the rest." I said, smashing the self destruct button (Seriously, Why do villains even install that?) and left the way I came.

"I told you I would take her out." I smirked, waltzing up to Ed and a familiar boy. "Yeah, I noticed. Anyway, Kai. This is Al, he got his body back so this is what he really looks like." Ed said while patting his younger brother on the shoulder. I nodded and looked around for a palm tree, only to see tanks exploding or returning to the gate. "I'm gonna take a gander that Envy isn't here anymore." My voice was hollow as Edward confirmed my statement with a nod. "Sorry Kai, but he was eager to kill Hoenhine and in turn, open the gate. There was no talking him out of it."

~Time skip~

We had all come back to Winry's place to rest up and celebrate. Ed and I were back from the gate and Alphonse was ecstatic about our time there. I had to keep the shrimp from exaggerating everything while the younger just contented with listening. Winry gasped when Ed told about my kidnapping and torture time, I'm still not quite sure how long I was in there.

The night was soon closing and I was led to a spare bed by Pinaco. I gave her a smile and flopped onto the welcoming softness and was soon asleep. Even if my dreams were plagued by nightmares, this was still the best sleep I have known in ages.

A week later, Winry was prepping me for the automail surgery. I've been through this before and was as ready as I was going to get. "Ok, Kai. You know the drill, bite down and hold on tight." And the pain started. Another week and my new arm was attached and healing properly. "Boy am I ever glad o have you back!" I squealed, clapping my hands together and hitting the ground. A sand castle rode up with little dirt fire works. It felt so good to eel the alchemic sparks in the air and the tingle on my finger tips.

Lifting my shiny new appendage, I got to admire Winry's hard work. The knuckles moved with silky ease and the wrist could roll without hitting metal. All in all, the arm was so close to perfect that I could never ask for more. "Thank you Winery, you out did yourself as usual." I said, hugging the blonde mechanic. Night soon fell and my nightmares rose.

Running, panting, sweating. I was back in Germany with Eckhart on my tail. She was in her massive tank with the canon aimed at my head. There was no way to escape the blast as the alchemy started to charge. The blast was loud and long, the feeling of whips and burns coursed over my body. No matter where I run, the torture I went through is still haunting me. Blank faces with rusted knives, bull whips, branding irons and hack saws. Blood started to pool around me as my left arm was ripped from my side with the bones snapping. I was blinded by pain as Eckhart's face filled my vision, smirking her words at me. "You shall be broken, a simple toy for me to do with what I will."

I was on the floor panting and curled into the fetal position. Another nightmare, this has been happening for the past month. after looking everywhere for Dante's trail, Ed, Al and I would find a place to rest and I would wake up sweating after another bad dream. The brothers slept so soundly, I don't think they ever noticed.

After catching my breath, I slowly made my way outside. Staying in a room with nothing to do was always boring and led to overthinking. So, walking the streets was the best option I could come up with. The early morning light started to peak over the horizon as I left the hotel, I had long sense forgotten where we were after all this time traveling. But wherever we were, Dante's sent was in this city. Her rotting body had a horrible smell no matter who she was in.

Turing a corner, Dante's scent became unbearable as a figure walked down the road. -There is no way I could be this lucky.- I thought, keeping to the shadows as I started to stalk after the person. Corner after corner, I was slowly leaving the city and entering the slums. The inhabitants staring to rise didn't even bother to notice the two suspicious people. One last turn and I was in front of a shabby shack with the door closing. -Creepy shack in the slums? This can not be Dante, she was way too uppity with the Opera house and ball gowns.-

I decided to peak into a window than busting down the door. Inside was rather well furnished with couches and tables. The figure I followed was now more easily seen as a dark haired girl with green eyes. She looked tall and dark skinned, almost like my mother. I could see the sighs of decay already crawling up her neck.

Dante moved to another room as a loud thud was heard. -Now or never.- I thought as I slipped the window open and entered the small dwelling. "What do you think you're doing? I didn't bring you back just to tear up the place!" I heard Dante screech in her new voice. "I won't do what you say just because you have a grudge on Kai." An all too familiar voice said as I pressed against the wall to eaves drop.

"You are going to bring that brat here whether you want to or not!" She screeched again making me want to cover my ears. "Just try making me, just because you brought me back from the gate doesn't give you the ability to boss me around!" The other snarled. I looked around the door frame and my eyes widened with what I saw.

Envy, the guy who I thought was dead, was chained to the wall with an alchemy circle on the floor. Dante was standing in front of him with her hands on her hips looking pissed. "Give it another day, you will obey me Envy. I guarantee it." -Really? Guess you didn't add me into the equation.- I took a quick look around the room and touched my hands together, water quickly forming around them. -Simple chalk has always been easy to get rid of.- I thought as I maneuvered the blob to stay out of view and onto the circle.

Three...Two...One... *CRASH!* And Envy is loose! Point for Kai! I quickly dashed behind a couch as Dante flew from the room. A pissed off humonculos stomping after her. "You were saying?" He growled, eyes flashing in anger. -That hag isn't going anywhere, so time for me to pitch in.- Touching my hands again, I jumped from my spot and slammed my palms on the floor in front of Dante. An all too familiar box sprung up and captured the body snatcher as I dusted my hands off. "And that's how you kidnap someone without getting blown to bits." I smirked an turned to my palm tree friend.

I had to admit that keeping Dante alive in a box was not what I had planned, but it gave us a way to see hat she had been planning. Since dragging her back to the hotel was out, I forced Envy to go get them while I sat with the hag. "When I went for a walk this morning, I was not planning on seeing your mug today. Definitely not Envy's, but his was a more pleasant surprise." I grumbled as I watched Dante test the box by hitting at the corners and kicking the sides. "You too a body that looks very much like my mom. But it's been a very long time since I had the opportunity of seeing her. By the way, What did you want me brought here for? I'm sure it wasn't for tea and cookies."

Dante finally looked up at me and smiled, her pearly white teeth peeking behind her lips. "Why, your dear parents wanted to see you. Unfortunately, I had to speed up on the use of your mother. But your father is down in the basement, I'm sure he will be ecstatic to see his baby girl all grown up." I tilted my head as she spoke, not really bothered by the fact that she as wearing my mother. Guess I've been through too much to care, but the fact that my dad was still alive said something. She wanted me to be cornered to co-operate with whatever she had in mind.
