Chapter 2
Alphonse walked sadly to his brother's grave. Al still didn't know how he was alive, he had been POSITIVE he had died that night, and Ed had lived. Winry accompanied him, silent, with some flowers.
"Edward…" Winry managed to hold back a sob, as they reached the grave. It was a year since that day, and Al was 18, Winry 19. Al looked up, unable to look at his older brother's grave, next to his mother's.
And that was when he saw him.
A blonde figure approached the grave, followed by a black-haired teen, the same age as the blonde, and both were boys. The blonde's hair was more golden, and long, pulled back into a high ponytail. The black-haired teen had pitch-black hair, cut short and neat. The blonde was wearing a long, red coat, with black clothing. The shirt was a turtleneck, covering his stomach, but tight. He wore black pants that when all the way down to his bare feet, with nothing but a small covering, similar to Envy's, Al noticed with some hatred. His black jeans had red spikes coming from the bottom, seeming to flicker like flames. The black haired boy wore no cloak, but a black, skin-tight, turtleneck tank top. He wore black, tight shorts that went to his knees. That one seemed kind of pissed, like he didn't want to be there, not at all, but the blonde had gold eyes. Just like Edward's.
"Go away, Colt," the blonde muttered, low and fast, to 'Colt'. Colt snorted and took off, going back to the train stop. The blonde strode up to Winry and Alphonse, a somewhat disgusted look in his eyes.
"Hello." He said in a cold voice.
"Wh-who are you?" Winry asked, her voice shaking slightly from the sobs she was controlling.
"Wouldn't you like to know." He replied with a snort. Alphonse shot him a half-hearted glare. The eyes flashed purple, with black slits, and Alphonse growled.
"Now, don't hurt your older brother," He laughed, a horrible laugh, and Winry and Alphonse stiffened.
"No. You're not him! He would NEVER join you monsters!" Alphonse spat venomously. Hurt flashed in the golden eyes, before they turned cold. Colder than they had before.
"Well, well. I guess you don't know me as well as you thought. And, since you know what I am, I might as well tell you my name. Pride. Hello, Alphonse Elric, Winry Rockbell." Winry and Alphonse froze, shocked, that this… thing knew their full names.
"H-how…?" Winry trailed off, as Pride snorted again.
"I told you all ready. I AM Edward Elric. Well, I WAS." Pride took pleasure in the shocked and somewhat scared expressions on their faces.
"You monster!" Alphonse lunged at Pride, who dodged to the side, and Alphonse fell to the ground.
"Now, now. Don't attack your own brother!" Pride waved a finger teasingly, and Winry drew a wrench, her face in pain.
"Don't…don't touch him!" Winry howled in pain, and anguish, as she raised her wrench and struck it down on Pride's head. That was when they saw 'Colt', who was looking even MORE irritated.
"Baka! Pride, couldn't you handle a SINGLE MISSION by yourself?!" 'Colt' shouted, and Alphonse noticed something about the black-haired-wait. His appearance was changing, going into the familiar shape of a certain gender confused palm tree. Alphonse's eyes practically glowed with hatred.
"It's you…. YOU SICK BASTARD!!!" Alphonse shouted, charging at Envy, who still had a pissed expression on his face, but cleared somewhat when he saw Alphonse charging at him, a spear thingy in his hand, transmuted from earlier. Winry was startled by Alphonse cussing. He never usually cussed, unless he was REALLY pissed, and the look in his eyes was frightening Wrath, and the desire to kill the bastard the stood before him pulsed inside of Alphonse's body. Pride hadn't been knocked out by Winry's wrench, but now had her in a death grip, his arm pressing against his throat.
"You will let them fight. You will NOT interfere." Pride whispered in her ear. Winry shuddered and gasped, trying to keep air coming into her lungs. Pride's grip was loose ad tight, like he was struggling to keep it tight, but something was keeping him from doing so. Pain throbbed in Pride's head, and he winced, as the all-too-familiar voice of Edward Elric passed into his mind.
Don't you DARE kill them, you monster!!! The voice yelled to Pride, but from inside his own mind. Pride ignored the voice, and tightened his grip. Winry let out a moan of a pain, but was quickly quieted by the lack of oxygen entering her body.
Alphonse plunged the spear, aiming for Envy's head, but he missed, and Alphonse growled, determined to kill the person who had caused his older brother to die, and come back as the things that he had fought so hard against. Alphonse slashed at Envy, who had turned his arm into a blade.
"Remember this?" Envy taunted, stabbing the blade at Alphonse, who kept dodging, while trying to stab and fight back. Murder raged in Alphonse's eyes as he recognized the blade that had ended his life, and therefore Edward's life.
"How dare you! You-you-"apparently, Alphonse couldn't find a bad enough word to describe Envy, who only smiled teasingly, though his left eye twitched.
"What?" Envy taunted Al, though he wanted to leave. This fight was pointless, just a battle for revenge. Not that Envy minded that; he enjoyed it actually. The blood lust in the eyes, the desire to kill the person who had murdered his brother in cold blood.
"You forget something, little boy. It wasn't ME who killed him. It was you!" Envy shouted, smirking at the hurt, pain, and anguish that flashed across Alphonse's face.
"Y-YOU'RE WRONG!" Alphonse shouted back, trying to convince himself that it hadn't been him who had killed his older brother, his last family member.
"How could I… no…. YOU'RE WRONG!" Alphonse shouted again, before charging. Envy avoided the sharp sword-spear thingy.
"Come on, Envy, let's go. This is getting boring." Pride yawned, and kicked Winry to the ground. He smirked at her trembling figure, and walked off.
"You aren't leaving." Alphonse snarled to Envy, who had walked off. He charged again, but Pride transmuted a giant hand that held Alphonse securely inside of it.
"Shut up, you're making my ears bleed." Pride said, before he and Envy disappeared.
Alphonse howled at his failure, and Winry whimpered on the ground.
Me: Well, THAT'S the end of chapter two!!
Edo: She was 'forced' to finish this chapter because her dad turned off the internet.
Me: Well…..it was almost done anyway!!
Winry: *whimpering*
Pride: *annoyed* Shut UP!
Envy: I'M NOT A GENDER CONFUSED PALM TREE!!!!!!!
All Homunculus/all FMA characters (manga/anime): Yes, you are.
Envy: Geez. *walks away, Pod.*
Me: Yay, he's gone!
Alphonse: Please review! Psycho appreciates it!
Me: AND I WILL STALK YOU IF YOU DON'T!!!!!
