Chapter 10: The...Rescue?

Roy stared in utter horror at the blonde who was standing in the doorway, extremely pissed.

"Envy!" He yelled, clapping his hands and putting them on the floor in a flash.

Edward...he was here...

And...he was using Alchemy...

Ed said he never used Alchemy, he said he lost the ability after he died, why can he use it now?

Edward was too slow, and Envy was already across the room and fighting him. However, Envy wasn't who Ed was aiming for.

A spike shot up out of the ground, slicing through the belt attaching him to the chair, and through the ropes around his wrists.

"Damn it, Edward, if you'd been any closer with that one." Roy mumbled, running off in the direction of the door.

He couldn't help Edward fight, he'd seen these guys, if he tried to fight, he'd just cause a bigger problem...

"And where do you think you're going?" The woman said, jumping in front of him and extended her nails to pin him against the wall.

"I'm not going anywhere. He is."

...So the best thing to do would be to cause a distraction. Roy nodded in the direction of Edward, who's foot immediately connected with her face.

Envy jumped up from where he was laying on the ground, and held out what looked like a dog-tag.

Ed froze in his tracks, running towards the door alongside Roy. His eyes were wide with fear, he stared at the black tag on a chain for a long moment.

"What is it?" Roy asked, not wanting to go back into the place, but couldn't help himself from standing beside Ed.

"We have to get out of here, come on!" He tugged on his arm.

Ed shook his head in a dreamlike state.

"No..." He said faintly. "You go, I'll..." He watched the tag dangling on the chain, the triumphant smirk on Envy's face never shifting.

"I can't leave without you!" Roy protested, "Tell me what's going on!" He demanded.

Envy cackled.

"I have no problem explaining it to you, seeing as chibi-san is at a loss of words." he said, cocking his head.
Ed didn't shift, or show even one flicker of difference at 'Chibi-san'. Roy backed away slowly.

"Now listen closely, because I'll only say this once." Envy said, all to happily. "This thing here- (He shook the dog-tag) -gives me total control over Hagane-no-pipsqueak over there."
"What?"

"See this little gidget here?" He continued, spinning the tag around to show a complex little circle made in...blood.(1) "This is what ties him to the world of the living. It's a complex blood seal only known to the homunculus, and our master."

Roy blinked. Envy sighed.

"I erase this. Chibi go 'poof'. Simple enough, genius?"

Roy just stared blankly, stunned slightly.

"Allow me to give a demonstration." He said maliciously. Then he took the tag in his palm and nicked the edge of the circle with his finger.

Ed flinched, and then screamed, falling to his knees.

Roy dropped down beside him urgently,

"Ed! Edward!! Are you okay?" He said to him, then turned to Envy. "Stop it!!" He yelled, begged. Envy just laughed.

"Now," Envy said, continuing. "Little Edo agreed to make the philosophers stone for us, in exchange, he gets to stay down here with his beloved Mustang-koi." Envy said, putting his hands over his chest, then fake vomiting.

Roy looked at him, confused. He knew of the philosphers stone, of course. He read Ed's alchemy notes all the time.

Envy hit his forhead.

"What don't you understand? I said I'd only say it once..." He said, the fun wiped from his voice.

Roy remained silent.

"Oh for gods sake...Anyway. Pipsqueak thought he could worm his way out of creating the stone, so we've decided to take him on full-time, with supervising." He smiled evily. Just then, the woman came up behind Roy and picked Edward off the ground.

"You know where to take him, Lust." Envy said, turning around and started walking away, apparently bored with the whole situation.

But there's no way Roy would let this happen, whether he could fight or not, no one would take Ed from him. He had to protect him. He ran at lust, dodging her lengthening nails, and hit her right in the mouth. He jumped up and landed on her shoulders, growling.

What was wrong with him? Why was he doing this?

He jumped off and ran straight past Ed, right at Envy. He kicked at him, but he was faster, and moved to the side, grabbing his outstretched leg and pulling him onto the ground. Roy footsweeped, but Envy jumped, landing behind him and stepping on the side of his head, making Roy immobile.

"Aww, poor Mustang. Now you'll never get to see your blonde bimbo of a rescuer again. Oh well." He said, shrugging sarcastically.

"Wrong."
Roy punched Envy right inbetween the eyes, knocking him backwards. Roy immediately dove for the black dog-tag in his hand, but again, Envy was too fast, and slammed him into the wall, cutting his right arm open.

Roy gasped in pain, but kicked at him again, getting thrown to the floor a second time.

So that's how it was.

Roy stood up, and kicked at Envy, who (like the first two times) shifted his body weight forward to increase the power towards his right leg. Too bad for Envy he was kicking with his left. He pulled it back, and Envy was immediately off balance, and Roy hit him in the back of the head. Roy snatched the dog-tag and ran across the room, towards Edward, who was close to unconciousness. He bent down next to him.

"Ed...Ed stay awake, okay? You can't go to sleep. Stay awake, come on, stay with me..." He pleaded, and Ed looked to the tag in Roy's hand. He tried to talk but Roy stopped him. Roy finally took a good look at the tag, it was rectangular, black on one side, silver on the other, the black side had the same snake-sign that Edward had on the back of his coat. The silver side had that blood seal thing on it, but one of the sides was smudged out- that must be what was wrong with Edward.

Without thinking, Roy took some of the blood from his own arm and smudged it into place around the circle.

It glowed and his arm suddenly seared in pain. Had something gone wrong, had he not done it properly-? No. This was what was supposed to happen, He'd read about it in Edward's notes, that's how he knew.

Edward gasped beside him, but he hardly noticed, his arm was numbly sore. Then he passed out.

This had better be good.

Nothing was ever good.
