I wrote this with a vague memory of the FMA:B episodes due to no Wi-fi. I'm sorry if I skip certain things, yet some items are left out to follow the story, or because they're too minor.
The next day, Ed, Al, Alex, and I left for Dublith. Winry got an automail job, so she decided to stay.
It's a quaint town, but I can't say the same about Ed and Al's teacher. When she came out to greet them, she ended up beating the crap out of them for being involved with the State.
Izumi Curtis taught Ed and Al just after their mother passed. Looks like she taught them well form what I've seen.
Alex and I introduced ourselves, and she accepted us kindly. As she sent Al, and Ed to 'work', Alex tagging along, I explained to her Ed's predicament. "Do you have any idea what their plans may be?"
"Everything thrown at us is always winged. Theirs 13 members, so each plan they prepare is from the top of their head."
"I do appreciate the help you've been giving them. I look at them like my own."
"I've told him as much as possible. But I don't know how much—" I got a call from Alex. I excused myself from Izumi, to take the call, but from the tone of her voice, it was an emergency. Alphonse was missing, most likely kidnapped.
My necklace was acting up, so I knew what was up. "Listen, keep Ed occupied, I'm going to look for him." I followed the beam given, hoping to find him.
I was lead to an old bar called the Devils Reach. The scent of dried blood was in the air, most likely Al's Blood Mark. I entered to find myself before a door, when my necklaces' beam faded away. I unsheathed my claws and kicked down the door.
A man, no more than in his late 20's confronted me. "Well, we have a little heroine on our hands." I slashed his face, sending him back.
"Call me 'little' again, and see what happens!" Oh, shit. I really am turning into Edward.
He charged at me, but I blocked every punch her threw.
"Who knew you were going to be strongly brave against a Homunculous."
"You're a what?" I stopped fighting to question him.
"Names Greed."
"Explains a lot. Why do you want Alphonse?"
"That little mark inside his suit. He has the key to immortality, and I tend to grasp whatever secret he holds." I looked at Al.
"Please tell me you told him that your brother preformed it."
"Yeah, but he thinks he's dead." Oh, jeez. What the hell? I guess I have to do this the hard way.
"He's got no body. How do you think he could've done this to himself?"
"You seem to know a lot about him. You don't happen to know his secret, do you?"
"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. And keeping yourself surrounded with Chimera's isn't going to do you any good."
"You have a good eye. And looking at those claws, are a Chimera yourself?"
"Hell no!" I attacked, but his power . . . it was unlike anything I've seen. He has a built in human shield. My claws won't penetrate it.
"Surprised? Not even the strongest metal can penetrate my shield." All of a sudden, the doors burst, and the room filled with military men. Greed took Al underground, but just seeing the military here pissed me off.
"What the hell is this?! Who sent you here?!"
"We are under order of Fuhrer King Bradley," said one of them. I guess if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. And when my necklace began acting up, I got even more pissed. Can't trust Alex to do anything.
"Listen, this whole building is full of Chimera's. I want each of you to investigate your own sector, and take no one for mercy. They have an Elric brother captive, so I will work with that problem on my own. Now move out!" They took orders. I followed the scent of dried blood to the sewers. That's a nice place to hide a body.
Right when I got off the stairs, Greed charged at me. I materialized my Keyblade and blocked him. The only thing that sent fear into me was his demonic smile. My necklace began to burn, and when I saw Ed, I was beyond pissed.
I pushed away Greed, but he didn't attack. He just stood there, laughing. "You really don't get it, do you? We're the same, you and I. Each with unmatched power!"
"If you think I'm going to buy into whatever the hell you want, you have another thing coming!"
"Just admit it. It'll make things easier." I couldn't take this anymore. Something snapped inside me. Something I couldn't control. It was my inner Wolf. It took over my body. I found myself slashing Greed left and right. When he was on the ground, I pierced his chest, his body disintegrating. He had no heart worthy of giving up.
Soon, I came too, nearly passing out, but Edward caught my grip. "Xena, what happened?"
"What I was afraid would happen. I'm turning into a Full Fledged Demon." I still felt weak, but I could walk. Soon, soldiers filled the area we were in. Two of them stood by Al, swords at the ready. They pushed their swords in, blood pouring from Al's suit.
I fell to my knees, in pain, gripping my chest. I couldn't breathe. I winced at Al, and he was out cold. I tried to take deep breath, each more painful than the last.
If my heart was connected with Ed's, then it was connected with Alphonses.
Above ground, Ed was with Alphonse, while I was with the Fuhrer. "I'm surprised to see your strength, Ms. Hikari. I can see why you have the ranking you hold. I have been keeping an eye on you, but I can tell that you're no harm. I will be expecting great things from you, but don't expect anything lighter than what you experienced."
"Yes, sir." He left, directing the other soldiers back to Central. I walked Ed and Al back to Izumi's, them getting their asses beat, but I got praised for making sure they got out in one piece.
For the first time in a while, I was frightened about what happened. What If I lose control again? What If I end up killing innocent people? I'll be another carbon copy of Misaki. God, I wish my memories were full. I know there's something I should remember, but what?
