Sam and the military, Tanua and the Ishballens, Wrath and the Homunculus.


Ed is still chasing the boy through the town.

"Hey kid I'm sorry for attackng you so please stop!" Ed yells at the boy.

The boy stops and looks at him. He sees a wall to his right and walks up to it. He pushes on the wall and goes right through it. Ed runs up to the wall and says "He just went through a solid wall, but how? Your a real pain!" he claps his hands but stops.

"Do you mind Im busy." Ed says turning around

"Wow the real state alchemist, If heard rumors about you." a man under a poorly made cloak says


A very muscular man with curly blonde hair and a blonde mustache and a blue military outfit walks into the meat market with a slim looking man with a crooked smile.

"Roasted Turkey 59 cents a pound." Sig says (Izumi's husband)

"Oh come now we know you have the Elric brothers here." Archer says slyly

"Ground beef 98 cents per pound." Sig says his expression unchanging

"I'll handle this one sir" Armstrong says, he stares at the man as he removes his outfit revealing huge muscles. He immiediatly starts flexing is muscles in some sort of display for Sig. Suddenly Sig gets a enraged look on his face as he flexes his muscles bursting the shirt he is in revealing equally powerful muscles. The to continue to strain their muscles at each other until "Major Armstrong wait! Ed and Al are huh!" Winry looks to see the two are suddenly shaking hands and looking at each other admirably.

"Its over looks their muscles did the talking for them." Kelly says sweatdropping

"Thats weird." Winry says slightly weirded out

"Now what was that you were saying about the Elrics." Archer walks over to her.

"Hey wait! where is Sam?" Kelly asks


Sam is behind a barrel watching a conversation of Ed and this mystery man with Al right behind him.

"What are they doing?" Sam says pointing his magnum at the man

"I'll go over and see." Al says standing up

"I'll cover you." Sam says adjusting his scoped head gear.

------

"I dont know what you mean." Ed replies suspicious

"Oh I think you do, like how I heard you experimented with your brothers body and then transmuted his soul, why you didnt use yours instead suprises m- Oof!" he is punched in his big nose and steps back his face is revealed to be scaley and looks like a troll.

"Ungrateful little Basterd! I'm trying to take you to safety! I'm not your enemy!" he curses "That means you and that freak you call a brother." as he says that Al walks up from behind him and picks him up.

"Who are you calling a freak?" Al says angrily as he lifts him up. The man is suprised but quickly smiles as he spins around and a long tail comes out from the cloak and knocks Al's head off.

"Its true you really are hollower than a tin can, like Tucker said." the man smiles revealing his lizard like tail.

"Tucker?!" Al says

"Your not getting away that easily!" Ed says clapping and creating a dead end behind the man.

"Your powers are uncanny, but then again, so are mine!" he says as he begins to climb up the wall with amazing agility.

A Hybrid! Sam starts shooting at the hybrid who is suprised and starts climbing over to the other side. He runs up to the wall where Ed and Al are.

"It got away." Sam says putting his gun away

"What was it?" Ed asks Sam.

" A perfectly functioning Kimera." Archer says walking up with Armstrong

"Major havent seen you in a while." Ed says friendly

"And who are you?" Sam asks Archer

" That doesnt concern you, I just have a few question's too ask you two about that Kimera and a few other unanswered incidents." Archer says to Al and Ed.

"Sorry but we dont have time right now." Ed says clapping his hands and creating a archway for them to pass through the wall.

"Al, Sam lets go." he says

"Dont have to tell me." Sam says reloading his gun


Meanwhile in a dump like field were beggers and other exiles live, a tan man with red eyes and a scar on his forehead walks through the fields. He gets to a point where the garbage has been seemingly burned and sees a albino skinned boy with white hair laying in the dirt.His clothes are singed and torn and he has a backpack on his back. The man walks over to him and notices a familier birthmark on the back of his neck. The man immiediatly turns around and tries to ignore the teen but the teen raises his head and says "Please help me." revealing red eyes just like the man.

Feeling sympathetic the man once turns around and flips him over and sees his red eyes. He helps the teen up and they walk back to the camp. "So, whats your name?" the man asks like he has no interest.

"I...I dont know." Tanua says as they continue to walk


I miss brother The boy thinks as he sits on the roof of a local building. He looks at his hands and clasps them together and then his feet in a attempt to entertain himself. But he loses his balance and starts rolling down the slanted roof.

"Woah, Aahh!" he yells

Just as he falls off the roof he stops.

"Huh, what happened?" he asks confused

"What happened, we just saved your dumb ass ." Ed says sarcastically hanging over the roof who is being held by Sam, who is being held by Al.

Later the four are sitting on the edge of the roof and the boy is looking at his two arms, he finally says "How come my arms and legs look so different from yours?"

"Thats because...my arm and one of these legs arent real." Ed explains sadly

"Thats dumb, what did you do with the real ones you were born with?" the boy asks

"Its hard to explain." Ed says looking at the child

"Well where are they now?" he asks causing Ed to flinch

"Well , what about you?" Al asks trying to change the subject. "You dont remember how you got the scar?"

"Nope, brother said that maybe I lost my memories and this happened before then." he says sadly

Al andEd climb up the roof so they can have privacy while Sam watchs the kid "Maybe its a coinincident." Al whispers "I mean your arm and leg were taken in the equivelent exchange, it would be kinda weird if they were back here."

"Yeah a little too weird, but as long as were stretching reality here lets say he did salvage my arm and leg from the gate." Ed says then looks back at the kid "Then possibly we could do the same for your body."

"Hey am in trouble, did I do somthing wrong?" the boy asks looking up at them.

Sam sits their until he hears a familier sound. "Get down!" he pushes the boy down. Weeeee!

A rock hits the roof and chunks of concrete fly everywhere. They look down and see Major Armstrong lifting another large rock and sending it flying into the roof.

Bam! "Major Armstrong what the hell are you doing?!" Ed yells in shock, the boy is startled as he suddenly slips off the roof.

"Aaaah!!"he screams

"Kid!" Sam yells reaching out for the boy but is to late

Armstrong catchs the boy and quickly ties him up with a chain.

"Hey leave him alone, he's just a innocent kid, he doesnt even know who he is!" Ed yells jumping from the roof

"Yes but maybe this is familier?" Archer says lifting the boys right leg revealing a strange birthmark on his foot.

"Thats the seal of the Homunculus." Al says

"Give me a few good hours with him and he'll talk." Archer says

"Major!" Ed yells

"I'm sorry Ed but we need his testimony, we'll be calling you as a witness for the Lab seven ncident." Armstrong says sadly

"But I thought that the Lab seven case had been suspeneded by the Fuher himself." Ed says confused, Armstrong doesnt replie but starts to walk away.

"Major!" Ed yells getting Armstrong's attention again. " A couple of years ago, a fox bit me on my left arm right here." he says pointing to his fake arm. "That boy has the same wound in the same spot, and his leg, it doesnt look like it belongs there."

"Are you saying that that boy has your arm and leg Ed? Thats propsterous!" Armstrong says turning around

"I dont know yet!" Ed yells "But if he does..I just need to confim it."

"Dont pursue this." Armsrong says

"But.-he's right Ed." Ed is cut off by Sam. "I learned a long time ago, that proving that somthing is rightfully yours at the expense of others will only bring misery."

"What will you do? Kill the most respected leader of the military in the world to avenge your father's death and reclaim your birthright?" a old hybrid says cruelly to a 13 year old Sam who has him pinned to the wall and is holding a gun to his head.

"You'll simply put your family to shame and kill yourself in the process." he says his cold lizrd like eyes looking right into his.

"SHUT UP!" Sam yells and pulls the trigger. Bang! Splat!

"Its for the best." Sam says coldly

"But I just need to know." Ed says

"And say we did do a investigation about this, and say we find a way to prove that those are indeed your limbs, what would you do Edward?" Armsrong asks, Ed immiediatly catchs on and gets an ashamed look on his face. "Would you rip them from his body and sow them onto yours?"

"No." Ed says sadly

"Then your better off never knowing the truth." Armstrong says as he and Sam walk off.

"Sam where are you going?" Al says

"Im going with them , to join the military." Sam explains "Tell Sakura, and Kelly. I'll see them later.

"Fine come along." Armstrong replies as he carries the child away


Somwhere else in Dublith, deep in a bar under a building there is a man with two woman sitting on a couch.

He is smiling and says "You know at first I didnt give a care about these two kids but when I learned that Envy and Pride were after them I decided I wanted to kidnap them just to (censor) them off. But now that they have lead me to someone actually useful that makes it better."

He stops for a second and takes a drink. "Who would of thought that there was another Honuculus like me, that could use alchemy. We need to get him on our side."

A man with a katana walks up to him and says "Please send me sir."

"Are you stupid, that place is a bloody fortress you wouldnt last five seconds inside." a man with his hair in a pony tail sitting on a stool mocks him calmly

"Well we didnt ask you so shut up, State Alchemist." a woman with blonde hair and a military outift says

"No, I think since you so hastily volunteered, you can lead these two in, but if I learn you betrayed our cause I wont be so forgiving." the man on the couch says

"You dont need to worry boss, all I really want, is to make some old fireworks again." he says smiling sadistically


Back at Izumi's house she has returned and is in the room where the boy was. Behind her is Ed and Al who have guilty looks on their faces. "What did you boys do to him?" she asks

"We didnt do anything." Ed says quietly

"Why are you making such a big fuss over him anyway teacher?" Al asks curiously. Izumi turns her head and shoots Al a glare.

"Maybe its the best thing for him." Al says sternly "They might be able to track down his identity, Sam is going to be there, and besides he's not human."

"Al." Ed says slightly worried.

Izumi tightens her hand and her husband who is in the door way with Sakura, and Kelly looks at Izumi.

"You may not believe they exist, we didnt, but we seen more of our share of homunculie recently." Al explains "Their real and their terrifying."

"They have powers that no ordinary human has, a mouth that can chew through metal, fingernails that can stretch and pierce through anything, theres even a homunculus that can morph into anyone. That child may have special abilities, but thats because he's a monster." Al says, as he says this Izumi turns around walks up to him angrily. She gets up to him and simply pushes him away with only her hand displaying her strengh.

"Do you have the slightest idea how a homunculus is brought into this world, Alphonse?" she says beginning to lose her cool.

"Take it easy." Winry says trying to calm her down

"Do you take me for a fool, that I would be so blind not to realize this? To not know exactly what this child is." she continues. They are silenced and are quiet until. "Cuogh hack!" she coughs up a puddle of blood on the floor.

"Izumi, Teacher!" everyone yells as her husband runs up to her picks her up and carries her out of the room.


"So she has been sick all this time." Winry asks Ed and Al who are sitting on a bench outside the hospital room.

"Yes, but she always acts so strong sometimes we forget." Al says feeling guilty

"Well maybe if we take her to a hospital in Central that will help her." Kelly suggests

"I'm afraid that wont do her any good." a doctor says walking in.

"Exuse me sir but I think that a good team of scientists could." before Sakura can finish her sentence Ed says "He means what she has cant be cured."

-------

"It seems that all her organs from here to here were just taken away." the doctor explains showing a chart of a human's insides.

"Taken away. But how did she live without those organs." Sakura asks

"Amazingly her other organs pulled together and made up for the loss." he explains

"Brother, you dont think, she tried the same thing as us?"Al asks worried

"You heard the doctor Al, they were just taken." Ed says not looking at him as he opens the door.

The group go back to her room to see that she is gone and the window is open.

-------

"Somwhere else at the South Military base in Dublith, Izumi is with her husband outside the base.

"Thank you honey but thats enough." she says, Sig shakes his head in disagreement.

"No, I have to do this by myself."she says sadly

"You wouldnt let me help last time and I know there wasnt anything I could of done but now." he says hopefully

"Please, I dont want you to have to see what I'm about to do." she says walking into the base.

-----

"Mister Sig! Please tell me Izumi didnt go in there." Winry yells as the three girls catch up with the Elrics and see that the base has tons of stone pillars bursting out of it and Ed, and Al are running inside.

"Sam went there!"Sakura yells

"I hope he's all right." Kelly says

"Why do they do this?" Winry asks sadly "Putting themselves in danger, Ed, Al, Sam, Izumi, and Tanua."

"I didnt know I couldnt." Sig says sadly as inside Izumi is walking in the base and takes out a few soldiers in a hallway with a stone piller. "Perhaps she felt guilty, that I saved her life at the expense of our unborn child."

More guards come out of a room and aim at her. She grabs a mans gun and changes it so it is distorted and unable to be used. Meanwhile Sam is in a room with Alex Armstrong and is signing some papers. She kicks a few men down and keeps walking down the hallway. "Perhaps she felt guilty because she wasnt strong enough to give birth." Sig explains

"That kid, the baby. I see." Winry says as another piller of rock erupts from the side of the building.

Izumi continues down the hallway and walks into a room where some scientists have the boy strapped to a table. The boy sees her and his face lights up. He smiles and laughs as she glares at the scientists, Armstrong and Archer see her and walk up to her when she claps her hands and hits the door frame causing the floor under Armstrong and Archer to give way. Sam stands up and loads his gun. She gets ready but Sam puts his gun down and makes a "get out of here I dont care." motion with his hand. She smiles at him as the boy uses alchemy to turn the lather straps into clothes. He gets up and runs up to her and thanks Sam.

"She went out on her own and tried to bring him back." Sig continues as Izumi leaves and the two fallen alcemists are helped up by Sam. "and all her insides were torn out." Sig says

"She told me she would never be able to get pregnant again, and once again she told me "Im sorry." Izumi hugs the boy as Sig explains. Outside the hybrid and the man with the pony tail are talking.

"So would you like to start this party off with a bang?" the hybrid asks crazily

"Hmm." the man claps his hands and touchs the wall. "Looks like I need some more sulfer." he sees a soldier walking up behind im and says "You'll do!"

He grabs the soldier and pins him to the wall"Aaaah!!!" the man screams as his body turns white and the entire wall of the base explodes. BOOM!! Armstrong, Archer, and Sam stop as the ground shakes and a alarm goes off.

"Oh come on what now?" Archer whines looking around "Major we have to keep moving or else that woman will huh?"

Armstrong has his hand to his head in a salute psistion as does Sam when a man with a eyepatch and a blue outfit walks out of a dark hallway.

"My,my, they sure are hopping around this place today." the man says kindly


"Teacher I'm gonna have to ask you to put him down and get out of here." Ed confronts Izumi and the kid in the hallway "Like it or not, I'm part of the military."

Meanwhile behind her Armstrong, Archer, Sam, and the Fuher walks up.

"What the- whats the Fuher doing here?" Ed asks suprised

Izumi takes this opportunity to go around Ed. Ed turns around to go after her but she is stopped when a huge explosion erupts infront of her. The smoke clears and the man and hybrid walk out. Sam glares at the hybrid and attachs a special item to his magnum. The Fuher glares at the man when Armstrong yells "The Crimson Alchemist!"

"So sorry to intrude, we just came here for the kid." the Kimera says slyly

"Yeah right slimeball, I can wait to put a cap in your head." Sam says cocking his gun and aiming it. "This time I wont miss you."

"Teacher, Military, and these clowns, looks like its a fourway fight." Ed says

But behind Armstrong the Fuher chuckles and says "I guess I make five."


The man with the scar and Tanua are waiting in a line to get some white paste like food. A man with a tatoo across his face gets his food and walks off. Tanua looks at him and asks "Who's that?"

"Avert your eyes young one." a older ishballen says

"If you saw that tatoo across his face it means he is a sinner, a banished one. He disobeyed God's ways and for that he must be punished. He has no place with the ischballen." the man says

Tanua continues to stare at the man as he recieves his portion and then walks off. He looks and sees his aquired friend go into the old mans tent but decides to ignore it. He goes into his backpack and pulls out a water bottle. He continues and finds a small black book with a cross on it. Curious he opens it and starts reading.
