-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Morning, Ed." Al greeted the shorter blonde with a bright smile but it soon disappeared as he noticed the fighting gear and determined look on Ed's face. "Brother, what are you planning?" He asked nervously as he searched his mind of many scenarios.
"I'm going to fight, Al." Ed simply said and wasn't surprised to see Al's mouth drop open.
"Wha-But, brother, the colonel order you to stay here." Al tried to reason with his brother but could tell he wouldn't win.
"Since when do I listen to orders, Al?" Ed retorted with annoyance as he pulled on his trademark red jacket and he heard Al sigh.
"Alright, fine, you win. What will we be doing?" Al asked in defeat as he grabbed his jacket.
"We? I think not. I'm not putting my brother in danger. You are going to stay in Risembool while I go to fight." Ed said as he grabbed the orange juice container out of the fridge and took a big swig.
"No, brother, I won't do-"
"Yes, you will. I'd rather be in danger than put you in danger. Please, Al, I'd be happier knowing you were safe in Risembool away from all this fighting instead of going into the danger with me. Just do this one favor and go, please, for me?" Ed pleaded up at Al with sad eyes and a slight pout.
"Fine, brother, I'll go. But if you don't come back in less than two months I'm coming after you." Al said with a growl of annoyance.
"Deal, now here's your ticket." Ed handed all the money he had and ticket over to all before taking another swig of the orange juice in his hand.
"Oh, and brother?" Al asked in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Hm?" Ed hummed as he drank more juice/
"Use a cup because that's gross." Al complained as he wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Nah, there's no time for that." Ed joked as he placed the orange juice back in the fridge and headed for the door.
"Wait, Ed." Al's voice stopped Ed yet again.
"What now, Al?" Ed whined in annoyance as he turned to face him.
"Take this with you." Al instructed while holding out a small item wrapped in a cloth. He placed it in Ed's hand and watched as curiosity covered the older blonde's face.
Ed slowly unraveled the cloth and a small black with a red kanji carved into both side of the wood sheath along with two strips of red at the bottom and top of the item.
"I was going to give it to you for your twentieth birthday, but I think you need it now." Al explained with a sad smile as he watched Ed unsheathe the dagger and examined it.
"It's perfect, Al, I love it. Thank you." Ed said as he hugged Al to hide the tears that threatened to fall. "I have to go now. Don't worry, I won't die. I'll come back for your marriage." He added with a smirk before he dashed out the door before Al could ask what he meant. He tucked his new dagger safely into his pocket as he walked down the walk way to his driveway. "Roy, you bastard, you better be alive when I get there." He mumbled to himself as he climbed into his car and turned the key to start it. A determined look now set upon his face as he pulled out of the driveway and towards headquarters. He reached his destination within five minutes and he was not at all surprised to see people running about and in many place the walls had been exploded out or just cracked. He parked the car a block away and ran rest of the way to the building.
"Fullmetal!" A voice from behind the headquarters gates called and Ed couldn't help but cringe. "You shouldn't be here! Colonel ordered you to stay away."
"Yeah, I know, but when do I listen to the bastard's orders, anyway?" Ed said with a smirk as he dashed through the gate and kicked the oncoming attacker in the face.
"That is true. Oh, and thank you. I let myself get distracted. That's not an Armstrong thing to do." The tall alchemist complained before nonchalantly tossing out his right fist and hitting the enemy in the face.
"Nice hit. Anyway, do you know where Roy is?" Ed asked as he leaned toward the ground and kicked his right foot up into the guy's gut, knocking him back.
"He'll be mad that you're here, Fullmetal." Armstrong stated he flexed his muscles while punching the enemy along with Ed.
"I know, but I could care less." Ed retorted with a small smirk as he placed his hands on the ground and spun his feet around clearing the area of everyone but him and Armstrong.
"All I know is that he's somewhere in the building fighting the homunculi that are controlling these people." Armstrong informed him and Ed nodded his head.
"So, then why are you fighting the drones instead of helping the colonel?" Ed asked in slight annoyance at the fact he was completely missing.
"Well, they are the ones creating the most damage, so Colonel Mustang ordered us five to three to fight these while the rest fight the main cause of all of this." Armstrong answered as he walked towards the front door with Ed in tow. "I believe you can find your way through the building. Oh, and take this with you. It's metal that you can transform into a weapon." He added as he handed said item over and then disappeared back into the fighting.
Ed took a deep breath as he pushed open what was left of the front doors and was met with the sound of fighting. He could feel adrenaline course through his veins and fear of what might come grip his heart.
"You won't get away with this." A voice down the hall rasped out followed by a cough and a growl of annoyance.
"Oh, but I think I will. See, no one suspects that the Fuhrer of the military would be a homunculi and attack his own men. It's just not something idiot humans like you would think." The second voice laughed and then a loud clang of metal. "The only problem is, you're keeping the Elric brothers away from me." It added with venom as the sound of a gun being cocked filled Ed's ears.
"You'll never touch Ed or Al. I'll see to that." The first voice, which Ed realized was Roy, hissed before a loud bang was heard and then a thud of a body.
"No, Roy." Ed whispered before he dashed down the hall and skid to a stop as he turned the corner. He came to face none other than King Bradley, the Fuhrer and at his feet was Roy curled up in pain. "You'll pay for that!" He yelled as he dashed after Bradley without thinking first. He was driven by blind fury and he knew never to jump into a fight blind. His fist was easily avoided and the foot in his gut proved to be more than planned. He coughed as the breath was knocked from him as he hit the wall.
"E-Ed…Get out…Run…Don't let him…" A coughing fit interrupted Roy's sentence. "...Get you." He added before his world went black.
"You're on your own now, against three homunculi." Bradley said with a smirk and an evil chuckle that sent a chill down Ed's spine.
"Edward, take Roy and get out now. I'll keep him at bay." Hawkeye instructed as she loaded her gun and pointed it at Bradley.
"But what about you?" Ed asked as he stood slowly to regain his balance.
"Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself, just go." Hawkeye growled as she fired her shots then grabbed her other gun right as she ran out of bullets in the first gun.
"Yes, ma'am." Ed placed the metal that was given to him on the floor beside Roy before put his hands together and then on the floor, transmuting a rolling table under the unconscious Roy.
"Go!" Hawkeye ordered and in a flash she reloaded her guns.
Ed felt the tears as he ran with Roy towards the exit but he kept them at bay so he could see the door. 'Fuck.' He hissed in his mind as he stopped the cart a foot away from the door that was being blocked by Scar. "If you're here to help then leave Roy alone and take me." Ed hissed as he walked until he was beside Roy and he drew the dagger Al had given him.
"I'm not here to help them, Fullmetal. I am here to help you. It's come to my knowledge that the fuhrer is the one that killed my town, my family. I want my revenge and I don't want any help. Besides, I'll come for you later when we're in less dire times." Scar informed his with a smirk as he walked pass the two towards where Hawkeye and the Fuhrer were fighting.
"Till next time then." Ed said with relief as he rushed Roy out the door until he reached Armstrong.
"Fullmetal, what happened?" The blue eyed alchemist asked as he examined Roy with his eyes.
"He was shot. The fuhrer turned out to be a Homunculi. That's not what is important right now. Take him somewhere safe and heal him. I'm going in to help Hawkeye and the others." Ed ordered with a hiss as he passed on Roy to the care of Armstrong.
"That's too dangerous, Fullmetal, I cannot allow that. You have Roy, why not leave and let us deal with it." Armstrong offered as he easily picked up Roy right as the pushing table Ed had made disappeared.
"No, I have to save Hawkeye too. Roy gets out of line without her." Ed hissed before he ran back into the building and at the last second dodged the body of Lust. "Ugh, can't I just have a normal life for once?!" Ed yelled out in anger before he transformed the usual dagger onto the end of his automail.
"Oh, this must be my lucky day. Though killing you would be such a waste of such a cute face. Such a pity." Lust said as she looked at Ed with a look of pity.
"Shuddup! Either fight me or go away!" Ed growled before he jumped towards Lust with his right fist drawn back to strike. He didn't get to hit because he was thrown to the floor and something heavy placed upon his back.
"Long time no see, shorty." The one sitting on Ed spoke with a twisted humor to his voice.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU CAN'T FIND WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS?!" Ed yelled as he thrashed about under the heavy wait.
"Calm down or you will be killed." Lust stated in a bored tone before she turned and walked down the hall.
"Grr, y'all won't get away with this!" Ed hissed as he clenched his fists in fury.
"Oh, but we will." The venomous voice yet again came from the one sitting on him.
"Really, Envy, this is beneath you." Ed stated with a growl as he continued to fight but for some reason couldn't reach the one upon his back no matter how he tried.
"No, actually, you're beneath me, but that's beside a point, now shut up." Envy growled as he stood and grabbed Ed by the back of his shirt before hitting him in the back of the head.
"Roy." Ed breathed out as everything around him went black and he felt like he was floating in the air. He could feel that he was being moved but he couldn't see where he was or who had him. He just remembered that Envy had knocked him out. 'Is Roy safe? Am I in danger? What is happening? Did Scar keep Hawkeye alive? Please let all this be a nightmare. Yeah, one where you can feel pain. Ugh, who am I kidding? This is real and now I'm doomed.' More thoughts filled Ed's mind as he continued into the darkness.

Yaoi: I find it funny how I was working on this chapter and right when I got to the part of Ed going into the building, wouldn't you know, Fullmetal Alchemist came on. What a twist. Anyway, I'm glad to finish the second chapter so now that I know what I'm going to do with this story. XD
