No One's POV

A skull with a fire burning in it appeared on screen as the sound of a door opening was heard. The scene slowly moved up to show Father's empty chair. As it continued to move, creepy music started and the ground was shown, then the doors that Gluttony opened with him standing between the opened doors.

The doors were zoomed in on as Gluttony walked through the doors. The scene pulled back to show the door through some pipes as Gluttony was followed by Al.

Al was zoomed in on, turning his head as he was. He looked in the other direction.

The many pipes on the wall he was looking at were shown.

This place couldn't get any creepier, huh?" Al asked.

Gluttony's hands were shown to be in the air in waving. "Hello, father!"

The scene moved down to show Gluttony while Al jumped a bit in the background and sweat trailed down his suit of armor.

"I brought you a Human Sacrifice." Gluttony said as he started to walk forward.

Al was shown. "Your Father? Where?" He looked around. "This is happening too fast."

The scene pulled out rapidly, showing Al and Gluttony from the distance with a bit of a balcony at the bottom of the screen. Father's foot appeared on the balcony.

The screen turned to show the scene from behind Al. Father was seen to be shadowed over mostly because of the dark area he was in.

"And who is this?" Father asked.

Al was shown, gasping a bit.

The picture of the Elric family with Hohenheim's face covered flash onto screen.

The bottom half of Father's face was shown. The screen slowly moved up to the rest of his face.

"Dad?" Al said confused.

-Father-

Father reappeared on screen.

"Eh?" Gluttony said.

"Hmm?" Father said.

Blood appeared on screen before Gluttony was shown to be screaming with blood gushing out of him.

Gluttony's stomach was shown to be ripping open to the mouth with an eye inside of it. A red slit appeared in the pupil of the eye.

Al was shown from behind as he watched.

The scene moved towards Gluttony again, who was holding his stomach to try to get it to stop. He fell facedown to the ground and coughed up blood. He grabbed hold of one of the pipes, which burst and had stream fill the vicinity.

Gluttony was shown through the stream to be screaming out in pain still.

The eye in his stomach was shown.

The pupil in the eye shrunk as Gluttony continued to scream out in pain.

The scene rapidly pulled out as red alchemical light flashed around.

When the scene pulled out, a giant hand was shown to be reaching out of Gluttony's stomach.

The candle inside the skull was shown.

When the scene changed, it was to look at the ground to see Gluttony's shadow with Envy's arm stretching out of him as the room was lit up red.

Envy's second hand ripped out of Gluttony's stomach, adding to the shadows on the ground.

There was a loud thumping sound as Envy's leg hit the ground.

The scene pulled out to show Al standing back before Envy shot out of Gluttony's stomach and he was zoomed in on. He roared as he crossed the screen. Al was shown to briefly be covering his face before he looked over at where Envy fell and the screen went back to normal colors.

Envy's body was shown with steam all around. The screen slowly moved down the length of his body until it got to his tail.

As Envy groaned, the scene moved passed Envy's tail to show Al's back as he stared at him, gasping a bit in shock.

"Envy." Father said. Al looked to the side then turned around, causing Xiao-Mei to jump to his other shoulder.

"Envy?" He cried in shock.

Al turned back around to look at Envy. A part of Envy's body and face was shown so the crying green bodies on him were seen. "That thing?"

The scene moved angles to show Al staring at Envy. Al moved his head slightly before he was running. "Brother!"

Aaliyah's POV

I opened my eyes and stand up and look around and saw Al. "Alphonse?!" I yelled. "Aaliyah! Brother!" Al shouts. Al runs toward Edward and Ed looked up and saw Al and his fist palm with Ling. "We here? We make it." Ed said. "Yeah."

"Al?" "Brother! Aaliyah! You're here." As Al hugged us. "My ribs." Ed grunted. As Ling holds his side and looks around. Ed saw 'Father' who looks like Hohenheim. "Hohenheim?" Ed said shocked/angry.

"Steel appendages? a young girl with long red hair? And an armored body?" Father leaned his body closer to Ed and Aaliyah, who jumped away. "Are you two, the Elric brothers and Aaliyah Martin?"

"So, you're, you're not him?"

"Have you mistaken me for someone else?" He leaned back, rubbing his chin of whiskers. "Hmm, hold on. Ho-hen..." He looked at the boys. "The name you say, by any chance do mean 'Van Hohenheim'? And how is that you two are acquainted with him?"

"Well...he's our father," Al replied.

"Hmm.." Father took Ed's face in his hands and studied it carefully. "He's your father! This I'd is indeed insurprising! I had no idea he had childrens!" He released Ed's head, laughing, and pat it.

Ed looked up at the man very irriated. Al and I looked at Ed and 'Father'.

"Huh? If you are indeed is prodigy, then why is it that your family name is Elric?"

Ed threw up his arm and pushed off 'Father's hand. "Elric is our maother's last name!"

"Oh, is that so? So where has he been spending his time?"

"Who cares! just forget him! Who the heck are you! Why do you look exactly like him!"

"I know that he's can't be dead," 'Father' began discussing with himself.

"Listen!" Ed yelled angrily.

"Edward..." I mumbled to myself.

"But would he leave his childrens?"

"Brother/Edward," Al and I said grabbing his arm, "this guy's the one who-"

Ed yelped in pain.

"It would appear you're injured," 'Father' said, turning his attention back to the young boys and girl. "And you're missing your left hand, aren't you?" He walked closer to Al and placed a hand over the hole in his arm. He moved his hand back, and red lightning was emitted from his hand. Al's hand was made just like new.

No One's POV

Ed's eyes widened.

"There how was that for you?" Father took Ed's arm. "You're arm is broken." Another flashed of red brightebed their faces.

Ed pulled back and removed the sticked and cloths from his arm. He moved the fingers and opened and closed his hand. "It's not broken anymore."

Father began to feel around ed's body for ant signs of injury. He moved over his ridcage and Ed flinced. "Broken ribs as well." Father put a hand on Ed's torso and healed the injury boy.

"I consider thae two of you to be vital resoures. You must both remain alive and healthy. As for Aaliyah, she had to healthy too."

Ed, Aaliyah, and Al looked at one another.

"This isn't right, guys," Ed whispered. "He performed a transmutation without any movement at all."

"There isn't any Equivalent Exchange." The boys said together.

"You aren't human," Ling said angrily, pointing his sword at Father. "What are you! What the heck's inside you!"

"i would ask who you are," Father said intimidating. "but honestly don't care."

Ling shook, and sweat rolled off his chin.

"You can go ahead and eat him." Father said.

"Okay!" Gluttony squeeled.

"What!" Aaliyah yelled. "No! Hold on!" Ed, Al and Aaliyah ran in front of LIng. "Don't! This guy's our friend, and you wanna keep us happy, right? So don't kill him! Please!"

"But I have no need for him," Father explained, moving back to his large chair. "Your friendship doesn't make any less useless to me."

"What!"

"He did heal our wounds, though."

"He didn't heal mine," Ling cut in, stumbling forward. "I don't like him. I can tell he looks down on humans and calls us fools!"

Father stopped and looked back. "When you notice an insect on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool?"

Ling growled.

"The life of an insect is a so beneath you, that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging. That would be an accurate summation on my feelings towards you humans."

Ed clapped his hands, hit the grounsd, sending an avalanche of rocks towards Father. He stood up and looked at Father, with fury in his eyes. "Look, you might have healed our wounds, but that does not mean we're friends!" He pointed at Father. "It's pretty apparent that you're the root of all yhis EVIL! I'm taking you down! I don't care how many cronies you've got!"

"Just who are you calling a 'crony' Pipsquak?" Envy asked angrily.

Ed gritted his teeth at the nickname and clenched his fist. "PIPSQUEAK!" He slapped his hands together. He sent pipes zigzagging their way toward Envy and Gluttony. They quickly changed course, wrapping their way around Father instead. "Gotcha now, Bossman!"

A burst of red electricity course through the pipes, breaking them into small pieces.

Ed, Aaliyah, and Al gasped. Envy leapt into the air, barely missing Ed as it came down. Ed jumped onto his arm, running up and hopping over the giant homunculus' head. Al brought up a stone wall, which Ed pushed off of right before Envy's tail swooped in destroyed it. Al bent down and sent a whip of stone at Father, only to have it be decomposed before it even reached its target.

Ling jumped through the smoke, shouting and readying his sword. A large pillar of rock shot out of the ground and hit into Ling's stomach, throwing him across the room.

"Ling!" Aaliyah yelled. "What's going on here?" Al asked.

Ed pushed himself up out of the broken rocks and glared at Father. "How does he do that! It's like he can transmute just by thinking about it!"

Father sighed. "This is a waste of time." He took a step forward. An invisible wave passes over Ed, Aaliyah, and Al, and red lighting filled the room.

Scar and May looked back from their fight, feeling the changing presence beneath.

Hohenheim took a step a mountain. Wind brushed past his tied back hair as he looked over the landscape of Central.

Ed looked at his hands on the ground, and trembled. he looked up at Al and Aaliyah and Ed and Al clapped and tried again. Nothing happened.

What's going on?" We shuddered at once. "I can't transmute!" Then Ed and Al were held down by Envy.

"Ed! Al! Aaliyah!" Ling called out now running to us. This made Gluttony grab him and throw him under his weight.

"What the hell did he do to us?" Ed growled trying to escape.

"I don't know." Al answered.

Envy barked in laughter. "You lower life forms never fail to amuse me! You get a speck of power and you think you own the world! And you don't even know what that power is!"

"And then you have the arrogance to assume you the in control of the power! Your like a bad joke that keeps getting dumb!" Envy scoffed.

"What are you bastards planing?" Ed questioned loudly. "You promised to tell me everything if we got you out!"

"Huh?" Envy playfully asked. "Why I would never stoop so low as to make a deal with a worm like you!"

"Liar!" Aaliyah shrieked.

"You talk far too much Envy." The Homunculi muttered.

"Oh sorry." Envy apologized now ignoring us.

The Homunculi looked to Ling with a hard stare. "You may prove to be rather useful to me after all. I could always use a new pawn in the rotation." He then tapped his forehead which made a purple eye open up and drip out a red liquid. A stone.

"Is that a Philosopher stone?!" Al gasped.

"A what?" Ling breathed out.

"Are you really gonna do that?" Envy asked.

"Do what?" Ed and Aaliyah asked.

"He's making a new Homunculus." Envy answered with grin in his voice. "When a stone is added to the blood stream, if the body is able to survive then you got a human-based Homunculus. An example of one is me."

"I won't let you do that to him!" Aaliyah objected.

Gluttony peeled off a bandage off of Ling's cut cheek. "Why aren't we able to transmute!?" Ed asked trying to use alchemy to escape from Envy's weight. "You bearded bastard! He has people waiting for him to get back! Get off of me!"

Aaliyah then remembered the guns Riza gave them. Aaliyah whistled to Ed and mouthed 'The gun' to him. He then reached to the gun.

"Don't shoot!" Ling demanded. Aaliyah's gaze went wide and she turned to him. In the corner of of Aaliyah's eyes, Ed in the same state of shock she was in. "This is what I want so stay out of it!"

"Are you serious?!" Ed asked.

"I came to this land to get a Philosopher stone! Now this guy wants to give me one! I'm not gonna turn this down!" Ling stated.

"Think about what your doing!" Aaliyah argued.

"Well, this is new." The man spoke. "But we'll see if your body is as willing as your mind." With it said and done the man dropped the stone onto Ling's cut letting the liquefied stone seep into the wound. Looking at the reaction and the screaming in pain this is far worse then rubbing salt into the wounds. Ling screamed in agony as it looked his body was being shattered from the inside over and over in many different ways. Aaliyah had to turn away from what she was witnessing.

"Don't you dare interfere! Stay back!" Ling demanded between screams. "I know what I'm doing! They're dealing with the future leader of Xing!" He then let out a loud scream which made my blood run cold. Was he dying? Aaliyah turned her head and saw the red sparks disappearing and Ling's body twitching.

"L-Ling?" Aaliyah whispered.

Ling turned to her. "Wha?" The voice that came out was completely different. It was deeper and rougher. That wasn't Ling anymore. "You mean this guy's I toke his body from? Sorry! Your friend just checked out and lent Greed this body!"

Aaliyah eyes went wide. No. Not him! Anyone but Greed! Wait... I have a score to settle with him. "So your not Ling?" Al asked quietly.

"Did he say Greed?" Ed asked just as quietly.

Greed smirked now walking to me. Oh the pain coming in my head now. I can remember when he tried to hit on me during our fight and then ran away like a coward. I don't like him at all. Greed's hard grip went on my chin and he inspected me carefully. "Oh my. Who is this inviting woman?" He asked seductively.

"Hey! Stay away from her!" Ed growled. Aaliyah could tell Ed was getting fired up that this man was flirting with me. Honestly she was getting irritated h herself. Aaliyah don't like this attention she was getting and she won't take it!

Greed chuckled and turned to everyone. "She's a flower."

"A flower with poison!" Aaliyah argued with rage in her voice.

"You don't remember us?" Ed questioned.

"From Dublith?" Al added.

"You must have met some different Greed." Greed suggested.

"He was my avarice before you." The bearded man spoke.

"Ohh... I gotcha. That makes sense but if you want to hear it from me; no I'm not the Greed you met." Greed explained.

"But... Ling..." Ed whispered.

"He was an interesting kid. He gave up his body without any fight at all." Greed stated with a smirk.

Ed's eyes widen for a second before objecting. "Your lying! Ling would never do that! Answer me Ling! Ling!"

The door opened and what I saw in the light was a Chimera. I stared at it blankly. What was a Chimera doing here? Before it could move forward it exploded in blood and fell to the ground. Behind it stood Scar. I gulped at him. I don't have time to almost die again! Then there stood a little girl with black hair put into many braids and dark eyes. She gasped and hid behind Scar.

"What's the matter?" Scar asked hardly.

"That feeling... It's coming from that man. He's not human..." She whimpered.

Scar stood forward. "No he's not." He spoke now walking to us. "I don't think any of them are human."

Then a tiny panda that came from Al's direction ran to the girl in fear. "Shou May! Oh thank goodness!" She chirped hugging the tiny creature. "I was so worried about you!"

Greed applauded watching them. "Haho! Now that's a touching reunion right there!"

"And they've also got Fullmetal." Scar muttered.

"Where is he? Where is Mr. Edward?" She chirpped looking around.

Scar pointed in his direction. "He's right there."

The girl looked around with sharp eyes but instead found nothing. That and she wasn't looking hard enough. "Huh? He's not really here, is he?"

"I told you, that's him right there! That little guy is the Fullmetal Alchemist." Scar answered.

Ed got annoyed by that comment. The thing that surprised is that he didn't go into a short rant. The girl stared at him for a second before gasping in horror. She looked horrified, heart broken, and shocked by this discovery. Aaliyah could tell she had an expectation about Ed and that was just shattered. "HOW DARE YOU TOY WITH THE FEELINGS OF A MAIDEN, YOU HUMAN MICROBE!"

"And she proceeds to call him short." Aaliyah sighed.

"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME, MICRO-GIRL?!" Ed yelled.

"That's the Ishvallen I never got to eat." Gluttony stated pointing at Scar.

"Another human with it's own plans." The bearded man sighed.

"Go ahead and eat him Gluttony." Ultimate answered. "He doesn't have alchemy to try and stop you."

"Okay!" Gluttony chirped now throwing himself at Scar. Scar then transmuted Gluttony with ease. He managed to attack Gluttony which shocked Aaliayh. How is he able to use his alchemy?

"WHAT?!" Envy's questioned boomed.

"You'll pay for this!" The girl screamed at Ed. "You decived a young girl and you kidnapped Shou May! She then threw her kunais at a rock and made a huge fist hit Envy. "You'll suffer for this! ALL OF YOU!"

This freed Ed and Al from Envy.

"We should probably run." Aaliyah sighed before running away with Ed and Al.

"Our alchemy still isn't working!" Al screamed.

"But theirs is!" Ed muttered. Then he pulled us behind a bolder quickly to hide.

"This doesn't make any sense!" Aaliyah sighed rubbing my temples. "How can they still transmute?!"

"I dunno... But I think this our chance to turn things around." Ed muttered running back into the open. "Scar! Do you want to know the truth about what started the war in Ishval?"

"In Ishval?" Scar repeated.

"Do you want to know the truth about who shot that child and started the war? He's standing right there!" Ed yelled pointing at Envy. "It was Envy disguised as a soldier. These guys orchestrated the entire war!"

Scar glanced at Ed for a second before turning his gaze to the Homunculi. "I'd like to heat more details about this... In between your screaming." Scar growled. Gluttony then jumped up ready to take a bite out of Scar. Scar then transmuted Gluttony with yet again ease. "Now tell me... What purpose did you chose to slaughter my people? Depending on your answer, I'll send you to join God!" Scar then started to attack him.
