Basement, battle and surprise.
"Wow..." This was the only word the males could say.
"Here it is." Riza said.
Envy looked at her. "And you couldn't just say it was in the basement?" He asked.
"Well, technically it isn't just in the basement." Roy pointed out. "We're standing in front of a big door. And the big door leads to a room. So actually, it is in a room in the basement."
Envy stared at Roy. Then he turned to Ed and Riza.
"How do you two stand him?" He then asked.
"Shut up, you gender confused palm tree!" Roy snapped.
Ed stared to giggle. Envy looked like someone who was going to explode. And Riza just ignored them, waiting for them to get done so they could move on.
"Why are you all throwing the palm tree-line at my face?!" He yelled. "And I'm NOT gender confused!"
"Reeally? Then what are you?" Roy asked.
Now Ed got interested and Riza also paid a little more attention. After all, if Envy was a girl it would be a little embarrassing to have that fan poster she kissed good night.
"I have absolutely no gender at all!"
Ed's eye twitched while Roy nodded understanding.
"So you're an 'it'..."
"You damn right I am!" Envy said proudly
"What are you then the most? You can't be fifty - fifty... Or what?" Ed asked.
But before Envy got to answer, the ground under them started to move. It grabbed their feet's and pulled all four of them backwards.
"What the..." Roy started.
"Wrath!" Ed and Envy yelled.
Roy and Riza turned their heads to see what Ed and Envy looked at.
And indeed, they saw Wrath kneeling to the ground. He had transmuted his left right arm into the ground and was now pulling them all towards him, away from the door. The door to the alcohol.
Edward - who felled like he had tried this before - clapped his hands to the moving ground. The reaction was that the ground got normal for some seconds, and they escaped.
Wrath growled and transmuted hit arms into it self.
"Why don't you guys just give up?"
"Give up?" Ed asked with a raised eyebrow."
"We're four! Your only one!" Envy pointed out.
"Says who?"
Envy, Ed, Riza and Roy looked behind Wrath.
And guessed who they saw, standing together with Wrath?
Greed.
Armstrong.
And...
"Al?" Ed said in an asking tone. He couldn't believe it.
Envy was holding his mouth, trying not to let his rejoiced laugher out.
Roy let out a low "Ouch."
And Riza...Well, she was just being Riza.
"Al, how could you?!" Ed asked.
"Sorry brother. It really wasn't my fault."
"Then who was it them?!"
"I think you know..."
--
Ed bent his neck and looked up with an angry look.
"Okay, you're taking it to far!" He yelled.
Who was he talking to?
"Don't try acting like you don't know who I'm talking to!"
Could he be trying to talk with somebody? Somebody who really wasn't there?
"Your damn right I am! My brother would never betray me like that! Every FullMetal Alchemist fan can tell you that! This is way out of character!"
"He's actually right..." Roy agreed.
"It is too weird..." Greed said.
"Even more weirder than the stuff with Pride and Gluttony..." Wrath joined and so did the others.
There was a long silence.
Then, like a light from above, the all realized that it had to go that way. Because it was a curse, for all those who had left the party. (Expect for Dante and Thomas, because they were out shopping or stuff).
It was meant to happen, and they all understood now.
--
"We've talked enough." Wrath said.
"Hey!" Envy yelled. "That's MY English line in episode 48!"
"Whatever. The alcohol is mine."
"Don't think so!" Envy had gotten a mad look in his eyes. Not angry mad, but psycho mad.
He looked at the others.
"Don't let them pass!"
"I thought it was us who was in the military..." Riza mumbled.
Roy stepped forward, raised his arms and said in a high voice "You shall not pass!"
Everyone went a little quite.
"Uhm..." Al started.
"Shh kiddo!" Greed said. "I think I hear a hobbit somewhere."
Wrath rolled his eyes.
"Armstrong, take him down. Everyone! ATTAAACK!!" And they moved quickly forward.
Roy - who know was in the front line - squealed and ran behind Riza.
Ed stared at him. "What the f..."
"Ed!! Look at your real problem!!" Envy yelled as he took some fast steps forwards to meet the enimy.
Ed followed him.
Envy faced Wrath and Ed faced... Al.
From the side, they could hear Armstrong sniff. "Oh, the great bond between brothers, teared apart in a fight!" Then he got bussy running, when a sudden fire exploded in front of him.
Somewhere in the basement they could here Riza yell "Your even worse than Roy and Havoc together! Back off pimp!" Then there was some loud gunfire.
Wrath, Ed, Envy og Al sweat dropped and then concentraited on each other.
Envy smiled a cruel smile. "Oh, how I enjoy beating you up..." He said as he looked at Wrath, who got a little unsecure.
"Uhm, Envy?"
Envy turned his head and looked at Ed.
"What?"
"Could we trade?"
"Why?"
"Uhm, because..." Ed looked a little at his younger brother. "I really don't wanna hurt my brother."
"Now, you two always spare with each other and he betrayed you! It would only be fair if you gave him a lesson and-!"
He didn't get to say more, before a part of the stone wall had transformed into a giant fist and smashed Envy, so he flew into Ed and they both fell to the ground.
Wrath laughed as he ran over to the door with Al behind him. The opened it and stepped in.
Envy and Ed got up on their knees, and turned.
"NOOOOOO!!" Envy yelled.
"Haha!! See ya suckaa!!" Wrath laughed as he closed the door.
A second after Riza, Roy, Greed and Armstrong arrived.
"Who won?" Roy asked.
"Wrath..." Ed mumbled.
Envy didn't say anything or moved. He was in shock. He just sat on his knees, staring at the door... Seing all the hope vanish...
Ed looked at them.
"Why aren't you guyes fighting?" He asked.
"Well you see, we figured out that it didn't matter if we battled. It was actually only the battle between you guys and Wrath that mattered." Roy said.
"And I only safe these muscles to the most important moments!" Armstrong said.
Ed and Roy looked weird at him.
"What a lie..." They mumbled.
There were some pling pling sounds, as Greed pulled bullets out of his head, with Riza still pointing her gun at him, in case he didn't keep distance.
Ed looked at Envy, who still were just staring at the door.
"I don't understand... I don't understand..." The green haired keep repeating to himself...
Then there was a BAM!
The door slammed open and out flew Wrath and Al.
"AL!" Ed yelled and ran over to help his brother.
Envy jumped up.
"Wrath!! What did you do?!"
Wrath rubbed his hurted head and just pointed at the door.
And in the door stood...
Roy narrowed his eyes.
"Hughes?"
"Hello everyone!" Hughes said cheerfully.
"What are you doing here?!" They all asked - expect Wrath and Al who was too dizzy.
"Well, the host put me here in case any one would be so smart to find the alcohol. And those who found it, would keep it." Hughes said.
"But..." Riza started, but Greed interrupted.
"We're two parts!! And I ain't freaking sharing!"
Hughes looked a little at them.
"Well, the host did have a plan, if this kind of thing would happen." He said.
"What plan?" Envy asked. Everyone looked interested at Hughes.
Hughes grinned.
"We're gonna have a tournament!"
What kind of tournament is Hughes talking about?
Is Al really gonna keep betraying Ed?
Who is the host?
Don't miss the next chapter!
