Dude, no intro needed. You all know what happened last chapter. So….yeah. O.O

Disclaimer: I don't own the almost deceased Edward nor the one who's wand caused his condition. *Cough Cough* Harry!

Harry: It's not my fault my wand freaked out on the Professor!

Fangirls: There he is! The one who almost killed Edward! GET HIM! *Angry Glomp Attack*

Me: Get him girls! (Even though it's totally my fault)

Edward Elric was dead. No, he was dreaming. He was confused. Was he dead or dreaming? He didn't even know. If he was dead he knew not to go into the light, that was basic fact or he really would die. If he was dreaming, what could he do to wake up? He called out for help. "Somebody? Anybody here? What is this place?"

"Brother!"

"Al?", Ed's voice echoed in the big white space he was in. He reached to the faint image of Alphonse in the distance.

"Now I want you to tell me everything that happened." Dumbledore sat down to speak to Harry and the other students.

"Well, Professor Elric had given us blocks of wood to transmute into different objects and Harry made this weird wand thing."

"Yeah it increased Mr. Elric's alchemy but rejected Hermione's magic!"

"So he asked for an official wand and I gave him mine."

"He used Harry's wand to see if it had the same effect."

"There was red and blue light and then the next thing I know, the room just blew up!"

Dumbledore was puzzled, "How interesting, thank you."

"Fullmetal!", Roy stopped to speak to Dumbledore, "Have you seen Edward sir?"

"Are you his father?" They all asked.

"No….But I'm pretty sure I could be…how old is Hawkeye again?….GAH not the point! Do you know where he is?", Roy asked.

"In the room, over there sir.", Hermione pointed.

"Thank you!", Roy ran in.

"I hope the professor will be okay." Hermione sat in a chair near the door.

"Okay? You do realize Hermione he just got his entire freaking arm blown off!" Ron said.

"Y-Yes but…", She looked at the ground.

"What happened? It was just a wand. The one I made from alchemy seemed okay for him to use.", Harry was puzzled.

"It was an alchemy wand that's why! Mr. Elric is a science teacher, and has nothing what so ever to do with magic, but he's not a muggle. The science and magic must have gone to war in the wand.", Hermione said.

"So because the wand was made from alchemy, Mr. Elric could use it?"

"I guess."

"But why did my wand not rebound onto itself? It's perfectly fine.", Harry had taken his wand from the rubble.

"Try using it.", Hermione said.

Harry swished it at one of the rocks. Instead of magical essence the alchemy light came from the wand.

Ron was bummed out, "Gahh, it's all messed up now."

Hermione smacked him, "Quit worrying about the wand you idiot!"

Edward was still inside the dream. Or he was dead, he really couldn't decide what was going on. Alphonse kept calling him. Ed reached out to his armored hand. The armor burst apart and there stood his brother, flesh and all.

"Ed!", Alphonse cried

Edward was witnessing Al's destruction again and again. He would appear, as armor, then burst apart to reveal his human form. Then Al would cry out as several black hands deconstructed his body. Ed constantly tried to save his brother.

"Alphonse! Alphonse no! Don't die again please!", Ed began to cry. He had enough of the terror. It was bad enough remembering that day. But to relive the 'death' of his brother over and over in his head was hell. Al began to walk to Edward. Then he said something that Edward would never forget.

"You're too late, Brother. My life is over. You ended it. You killed me." It was like Alphonse had turned evil. He said those words with such hatred. Ed looked up at him with terror. And to his surprise, Alphonse had the same look. "Why did you do it Brother? I told you to stop! You had to bring Mom back! You only ended up killing her a second time! Then you shattered my chance to live Brother! I have nothing now! I can't eat, I can't sleep! Why? Why? Why Brother?" Alphonse's image faded away to reveal their mother. "Your brother is right Edward. You killed us both. Why is that? Do enjoy killing others?"

Edward screamed in pain. Everyone stopped. Roy, Alphonse, Riza, Winry. The all stopped and stared at Edward. He was in the hospital bed. Just, screaming. He said one thing before falling back into unconsciousness. "I-I'm sorry! Please! Just go away!"

The nurse came into the room. "If you don't have a strong stomach, get out now! This won't be pretty." She began to set out different things. Harry, Ron, and Hermione came in just as the horror started. The nurse began to pull out the different chunks of rock and wood that got into his arm after he fell through the floor.

Edward screamed in pain as she pulled out a giant splinter. Hermione instantly fainted and Ron turned green. Harry and Riza carried them both out of the room. Alphonse, Roy, and Winry were the only ones who could stand to watch this horror. Roy, because of all that he saw in Ishval. Winry, because she was an automail mechanic, but Ed was the only one that came to her directly after losing his arm. Alphonse, well, because he was his brother. Alphonse had to stay with Edward, he couldn't just leave him. The nurse finally got frustrated with Edward thrashing about in the bed. She took out her wand and muttered a spell. Edward went still, very still.

A few hours later. Hawkeye and Hermione came into the room. Everyone was asleep. Roy was asleep in the visitors chair. Naturally, Hawkeye checked up on the Colonel before doing anything else. "Silly man. If you sit by that open window, you're going to catch a cold." She laughed to herself. She covered him with her coat, and looked around. Winry was asleep on Al's shoulder. Alphonse was awake, seeing as he couldn't sleep in the first place. Ed was laying in his bed. His arm was all bandaged the way it should be. He almost looked dead. He was pale, and looked in pain, even as he slept. Then Hermione realized. She ran to him and felt his neck. She could't feel any pulse. "No! Mr. Elric!" Everyone woke up and Alphonse jolted over to the bed.

Hermione felt his neck again and again. Then she turned to his wrist. She sighed in relief, realizing he still had a pulse, though it was very faint.

Edward woke up in a mood equivalent to that of a waking Kyoya. He gave Hermione a death glare. "What are you doing Granger?" He said in the most terrifying voice.

"Simple, I couldn't feel your pulse and I somewhat freaked out."

"Well then, there's no reason to disturb my sleep. If you think I'm dead then take a good look into my eyes. I still got a few bodies to steal back from that damn truth. I'm not dying anytime soon. You got that? Now let me sleep."

"Oh, well, yes you're right." Hermione said, kind of dazed.

Winry sighed. She walked out of the room and came back with her mechanic's box. "Alright, I have to measure up your arm. And I should probably check up on your leg."

"Naw, not right now, Winry. I don't want you inspecting and messing around with my automail. I don't feel like sitting still for 2 hours just for you."

"But Ed! I have to inspect your leg! And, your arm! I need to measure your stump so I can make you a new arm!"

"I. Said. NO."

"But!"

"NO Winry!", Ed began to get really angry at the blonde.

The nurse came in. "What is going on!" She yelled.

"Nothing, I was just leaving." Winry said as she left.

Ed was red with anger. He was about to blow up, but he restrained himself seeing as Al and the others were there. He laid back down in the hospital bed.

"Brother, are you okay?" Alphonse asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"Oh, something seems to be bothering you that's all." Al turned his head to look out the window at the students in the courtyard.

Edward went back to sleep. He found himself again reaching for Alphonse. The same terrors befell him. Over and over again. This time it was Alphonse and their mother together. They talked of all Ed's misdoings as they were repeatedly destroyed. They yelled at Edward. They were putting him down. Edward begged them to stop, but they only continued. They laughed as they did it.

"Why do you enjoy hurting me?" Edward asked them.

"Because, you did the same to us!" They yelled.

"I didn't take pleasure in it!" Edward screamed.

Al and Trisha melted together into the form of the truth, but the color black.

"It's not about what you didn't do Edward, it's about what you did do."

"Tell me how to stop this!"

"Where would the lesson be then?"

"B-But, if I'm not told how, then how will I learn?"

"That is something you have to learn yourself."

"But how!"

"I don't know, why don't you go kill more people Edward Elric, I'm sure you'll get it eventually."

The truth bursted apart into drops. It turned into a large black blob, which formed into several people. Like the souls of the people of Xerxes that were on Envy.

"No, no stop!" Ed screamed as he was consumed.

Edward woke up sweating, and scared as hell. "I can't take it anymore!"

Alphonse was outside talking to the nurse, so Edward crawled out of bed. He went and sat under the large chair they had brought in for Al. He curled up and thought things over. Ed didn't want Alphonse to find him, so he tucked himself against the wall.

When Al came back in, he had a basket of sweets and other nice looking things for Ed that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had sent. "Ed?" Al whispered. "Ed!" Al began to search the room. Ed yelped in alarm as Alphonse pulled him out from under the chair. "Brother! What on earth are you doing?" Al asked the teen.

"I-I had a nightmare. You know I prefer tighter spaces when I'm scared."

"Oh, Ed, you act like the milk brigade is coming to pay a visit."

"Do they actually have one of those?" He freaked.

"Ha ha, no they don't." Alphonse laughed. "Come on, you have to get up."

"A-Alright."

"Brother?"

"Yeah Al?"

"Something's wrong with you."

"What are you talking about Al?" Ed tried to cover it up.

"Something's on your mind that you aren't telling me Brother!"

"Just, some bad dreams."

"Uh huh, and?"

"That's it really." Ed said.

"Uh huh." Al said suspiciously.

After Ed fell back asleep, Alphonse went to the Headmaster.

"So what exactly is bothering you Alphonse?" Dumbledore asked, sitting down with the younger Elric.

"It's my older brother, something is wrong with him and he won't tell me." Al said.

"What makes you think that?"

"He's jumpy. He acts like something is going to come get him. And he screams in his sleep and when he wakes up he's scared out of his mind! I don't know what to do!"

"It sounds like he's having reoccurring dreams. It could be a dream that's bubbling back to the surface or, maybe a memory."

"But if it's like that then why is it coming now? Why not before?"

"Maybe in light of recent events. Is there anything happening now that has happened before?"

It was like a missing puzzle piece was put in Al's mind. "His arm! The same reactions happened to him after he lost his arm! He would wake up screaming and he never told anyone! I only know because I can't sleep and I refused to leave."

"Good! Now, what about losing his arm gives him bad dreams?"

"I think I know." Alphonse shuddered.

"What is it?"

"I think he's having dreams about the day he originally lost his arm and leg, and the day I lost my body."

"Your body?"

Alphonse removed his head.

"So your empty? I've seen this before but the armors I've seen didn't have a will or mind of their own. Truly extraordinary, your brother did this?"

"Yes, he saved me from death by bonding my soul to the armor. And he gave up his arm to do it."

"So, if he saved you then why would the day haunt him?"

"In his eyes, my 'death' was all his fault."

"Why would he think that?"

"Because, the action that lead to it was his idea."

"What action?"

"We attempted….to bring our mother back to life." Alphonse lowered his head. "I'm sorry Brother, but he has to know everything in order to help you."

Finally! I can't believe that I finished this chapter. I was all out of ideas and now a whole new spectrum is showing itself! P.S. Every time you don't review, Edward has another bad dream. Save Edward Elric and REVIEW!
