Who Needs a Brother Like You?

Chapter Fourteen – Trapped Brothers

The voice that they had heard was Envy. Mustang was certain because not only he see him, he also could see his little pet eating away at an innocent human. An innocent human probably being used to make the stone. There was blood everywhere and the stench in the air was unbearable. It made him absolutely sick. What were they doing to Fullmetal in there? If he was still alive. Stop it Roy! You can't think that! He scolded himself and turned back around to Alphonse. "I think we've found him." He told him.

Alphonse felt a tense feeling wash over him. "What are we going to do? If you use you flame Alchemy we could run really quickly, get him. And escape!"

It was a good plan. But he knew that it wouldn't work. They would just regenerate themselves and come after them in town. They would lose the battle and many people would probably die. So, Mustang told him why it won't work and with disappointment in his soul, Alphonse understood.

They both waited until Envy and Gluttony made their leave and slowly began following them. After a while of walking they stopped in front of an old warehouse. The outside of it was rusted completely and was long in the back. The building wasn't that tall at all. No wonder they hadn't been able to find them. As Mustang looked at his map he also realized that it wasn't even on the map.

"What are we going to d-..." Alphonse stopped as they heard another scream. But his time he knew exactly who it was.

"Your time is up! We were generous and gave you a little over an hour. Now are you going to make the stone or not?" the voice was from a female.

"That was Fullmetal...I know it was. Something is going on in there. We'd better hurry and get-!"

"No," Alphonse interrupted "There about to do something to Brother! We have to stop them!"

Mustang shook his head. "It's too dangerous. We have to wait for back up."

Alphonse refused and suddenly he felt his soul burst when he heard another heart wrenching scream. They both quietly crawled over to a nearby and shattered window. Their voices were now clear and that gave Alphonse a chance to glance up and look for them.

That was it.

His Brother was right there.

He was chained up against a wall, his hands and feet pulled apart and tied together. He had bruises all over his face and his clothes were completely torn. His Auto-mail looked completely broken. He looked awful.

"B-brother...no..."

Alphonse couldn't believe it. It shouldn't have turned out that way. He didn't know that one small four letter word could cause that much pain to a 15-year-old boy. He turned to the Colonel "He looks bad...they've been torturing him. We have to save him...now!"

Another scream escaped out of the warehouse. He couldn't take it anymore! Something had to be done now!

"You're dead pipsqueak! Now die!" that was Envy. Alphonse leaned over and looked again. He was beating him constantly.

"NOOO!" Without thinking at all Alphonse screamed and broke the wall with his Alchemy. Envy froze but was jarred from his trance when Alphonse punched him as hard as he could right in the face. It caused him to fly into a bunch of crates that were nearby. The impact was so strong that it broke them into pieces instantly.

The other Homunculi gasped, not fully believing what was in front of them. And Edward, he was completely blank. His brother was right in front of him.

Before anything else could be said or done Alphonse ran over to Edward and broke the chains that were holding him down. "I got you!" he lifted him up on his back.

"What the he-!? How did you find us!?" Evillie was the first to snap from her daze. Alphonse glared at her. "You'll pay for everything you've done Venllie!" he yelled.

"Don't you dare call me by that horrid name!" she screamed. He looked back at Lust who was preparing for a fight. Gluttony was also by her side ready to act.

They were trapped! Alphonse turned around hoping that Mustang would come and save them both, but the help never came. The four Homunculi were beginning to surround them. And sadly there was nothing Alphonse could do but run.

"Alphonse…" Edward finally managed words but just barely. It wasn't his injuries that were keeping him speechless. It was the huge lump in his throat and his racing heart.

"Brother! Don't talk, save your energy! I'll think of something…" he panicked. Envy laughed picking himself up off the ground and broken crates. He rubbed his swollen cheek and spit saliva mixed with blood onto the ground "God, this is just too easy. If you were going to come here you should have at least brought back up!"

Alphonse had to admit that he was right. But he had his back up! If only the Colonel would jump in…they could defeat them! But it was too late. Lust had already managed to charge in and separate the brothers. Alphonse lost his grip on Edward and watched him hit the ground next to him. He tried reaching for him but the new Homunculi stood between them. Lust laughed, "Looks like we have two Alchemists in our hands now."

Alphonse growled but suddenly stopped when the girl came up to him. She grinned and pressed her foot up against his armor. "So, here we are again Alphonse Elric."

He starred at her, not knowing what her next move would be and just as she was about to put her hand on his helmet Edward shouted at her. "Don't touch him!"

They all froze as he climbed to his wobbling feet. "Y-you leave my Brother alone!"

"Brother? So now he's your brother again? Is that it?" she laughed hysterically "Oh please you're so full of yourself you stupid Crybaby!"

Edward fell back down to one knee but tried picking himself up again "Didn't you hear me the first time!? I said let him go Venllie!"

The air in the warehouse grew even tenser than what it already was. This time it was real personal. "What did I tell you about using that damn name!"

Evillie instantly kicked off Alphonse's helmet and aimed right for his Blood Seal. He panicked and tried moving but it was like his armored body was paralyzed. Edward screamed and tried to stop her but his legs failed him and his face went crashing into the ground.

"Goodbye Alphonse Elric! And don't worry because after your brother makes the stone he'll be joining you TOO!" her arm thrusted downward.

Edward jerked up "NOOOO!" his lungs busted and all of the air inside him rushed outward.

He closed his eyes, knowing that when he opened them his only world would be gone. "Alphonse! No...you're the only thing I have left! No!" he screamed.

Just when he thought that he would hear his younger brother scream he heard the exact opposite. Instead of Alphonse screaming, Evillie was the one screaming. Edward opened her eyes and saw that her hand was engulfed with fire and a bullet was in her leg.

"Fullmetal...are you alright?"

He looked up and saw the familiar man in his memories. "C-Colonel Mustang..."

The man nodded "Well that's a change. I'm surprised you didn't call me an idiot or a bastard like you usually do." He smirked.

And apparently he wasn't alone. There was a huge man with huge muscles, a small elderly lady, and a young girl that also looked familiar and close to his age, and finally a girl that was wearing the same uniform as the Colonel. And that still wasn't it. There were many armed Amestris Soldiers behind them too.

He had been saved...but still...it wasn't over yet!
