(I am so proud of how this turned out, and I hope you enjoy it (even if you've already read it)
"Brother?...Should we continue our search?"
Edward didn't even flinch as Alphonse spoke, he only lay there in a dull state, still in his rain/blood soaked clothes, his face now stained with tears, his hair was still wet and stuck to his face and his eyes were dull, as though he had just died.
Down the hall, as Mustang stared out the window of his office, Hughes stood before his desk, fiddling his fingers as he spoke. "I hate to dis-agree with you Roy, but what you did to Edward was something I've hoped to never see..."
Mustang continued looking out the window, and he sighed.
"He needed punishment, he was once again trying to do something I couldn't allow..." Hughes opened his mouth to say something, but he stopped as Mustang turned and pointed a gun at point blank. "The same thing happened to me long ago, no point of letting it run on like this..."
Hughes blinked in worry, then he nodded.
-----------------------
"Why...why couldn't we live without dad? He left..big deal, I wasn't hurt."
Alphonse quickly looked up, surprised to hear Edward finally talk.
"Mom shouldn't have been sad..she still had us."
Edward then stopped as Hughes walked in. "Colonel wants you Ed..." Before anything could happen, Edward jumped up and he ran out of the room. "Wait..Edward, Come back!!" As Alphonse stepped out of the room, he watched as Edward continued running.
"No more, will I EVER listen to him again!" He then slammed his hands together, and just before he hit the wall, he placed his hands there, and a door appeared and he ran through, and vanished.
-----------------
Later, Edward sat on the couch of Winry and Pinako's...his eyes covered, and his body shaking from cold and sadness. "Ever since I joined all the Colonel's wanted is to send me out to get me and Al killed..."
Winry slowly walked up, and she nealed before Edward.
"You joined for a reason, if you run you won't get what you need."
"I know, I shouldn't have come crying like a baby.."
Winry giggled softly and she stood. "It's not the first..."
---------------------
Edward and Alphonse made there way down an old worn out bridge. "Come on, were almost there.."
Alphonse ran up beside Edward, and he looked up to him. "Be Careful Ed...you just got your automail, remember what Winry said "Don't go and.."
"Oh come on Al, I'm going to be fine don't..."
Suddenly, Edward was cut off as the bridge suddenly began to crumble, bringing it all down fast.
"Brother!"
As they tumbled, Edward transmuted a rope and he brought the two to safety, but sadly, losing his arm in the end.
"I'm sorry Winry, you told me not to lose my arm but I did anyway..I'm sorry!"
He then threw himself into her arms, and Winry giggled and hugged him.
--------------------------
"Both you and Al have improved on everything, Edward...I'm proud of you, and I'm sure so is Trisha."
Later, the two lay fast asleep on the couch, unaware of the one next to each other, and Pinako smiled.
-------------
"I have his brother her, but keep looking!" Mustang then slammed the phone down, and he looked up to Alphonse who sat down infront of the desk, shaking, but if only his body could.
"Where is he Alphonse?..."
"Umm, I don't know sir, he didn't say anything to me and..."
Outside, Hawkeye listened quietly to the conversation and she sighed.
As Alphonse came out of the room, he looked up, and he gasp seeing Edward standing at the end of the hall, starring out the window.
"Brother!?"
Edward looked over, then he smiled. "Hey Al, sorry for the scare, I should of told you."
Mustang quickly came out of his room, and he looked over in shock, and the two did nothing but stare.
---------------------------
Alphonse sat up in his room, clapping and placing his hands on the floor but he then stomped as he heard screaming and stomping, and then suddenly, the door flew open, and Edward hit the ground hard, as he was thrown in by Hohenhiem.
"I'm sick of this Edward, you need to learn your lesson!"
Hohenhiem then slammed the door, and Alphonse watched in shock and silence.
"Damn it! Who does he think he is?"
Edward then turned and Alphonse gasp as a bruise covered his left cheek.
------------------------
Mustang slowly walked up to Edward, and he placed his hand on his shoulder. "Your lucky I don't fire you..." He then tightened his grip. "What the hell is your problem Fullmetal!"
Edward suddenly shoved his hand away, and he glared. "Your trying to kill us..."
Mustang blinked, then he crossed his arms smirking, as he looked down to him. "Really? I thought I was doing you a favor by sending you out on missions, so you can search for the stone."
Edward growled angerly and he glared. "Well who the hell runs a military like that?..."
Before Mustang could say anything more, a thumb was heard and as the three turned to look...Havoc was on the ground, out cold. Hawkeye walked over, and she nealed down at his side.
"His wounds don't seem so bad..."
Mustang watched, then he turned as Armstrong walked up. "Major, take my men and search for the one who did this!.."
Mustang then turned and smirked at Edward. "You wouldn't mind following would you?"
Edward nodded, and he looked to Alphonse, then the two took off.
------------------
Outside, standing on one of the buildings, was none other then Lust, Gluttony, and Envy.
"I've been waiting for this day...can we go NOW?"
Lust smirked as she looked down to the city. "We've already taken a Luietenent, I'm sure it will be a sintch to take Fullmetal.." and with that, Envy and Gluttony vanished. "It's been great Fullmetal, but your time is up..."
------------------------
As the two walked, Alphonse made sure to stay CLOSE behind Edward. "Brother..I'm..scared."
Edward chuckled, and he looked back smiling. "Don't worry Al, were just in Central...just think of it as day time."
---------------
As the two continued walking Gluttony laughed softly watching from an alley, and Envy leaned on the wall watching at his side.
"We need to sneak on the pipsqueak when he's at his worst, and that's when he won't know what hit him..."
Gluttony then laughed more, as Envy smirked evilly.
-----------------
"How are we suppose to know who were after, when we have no clue what the killer looks like?" Edward shrugged then he suddenly stopped as the wind mysterious picked up, and Envy stood before them.
"So your "Fullmetal Alchemist", you don't look very metal to me...and your VERY small."
Edward clapped his hands together, and as his blade formed, he quickly charged.
"I'll make you eat your words, and you'll regret EVER hurting Havoc!!"
