Becci 'D': Hehe Chapter 3 up ^_^ Sorry for a long wait. Was so busy last month with Christmas. So enjoy and a happy new year!
During the course of the day, Edward had many visitors. But he didn't really stir at all, so he didn't know that they had came. He still had a slight temperature and was sleeping it off. His brother and friends didn't mind they knew he needed the rest.
Again that night the man had returned and done the same thing he did the night before. He couldn't believe his luck no one was suspicious and no one even noticed him.
But it wasn't till the night after that the mysterious man didn't expect what was about to happen next.
Once more the strange figure couldn't believe his luck. No one was present. An evil grin appeared on his face as he creped into Edward's room. He casually walked over to Ed's bed withdrawing a syringe from his pocket. "Phase 4" he muttered as the man was about to inject him again, when the door opened.
"Stop right there" Ordered Roy "Drop it!" Roy, Riza and Alphonse were at the door way.
The man just turned his head startled, "hehheeheheh your to late!" he cried as he injected Edward once more. The minute the syringed pierced his skin Ed shot up and yelled out. The man started to laugh "yes YES!".
Beads of sweat were dripping down Ed's face he was panting and shakily looking at his hands, he then started to laugh crazily. He looked over at them all. Al gasped, Edward's eye's didn't look human. He rouse out of bed ripping all the wires out of his body. He stood in front of his new master as if to protect him.
"Brother, what are you doing!" Questioned Al.
"FULLMETAL! STOP DON'T MOVE!" Ordered Roy.
Ed just gave a sinister grin.
"SIR! WATCH OUT!" Riza shouted.
Edward suddenly clapped his hands together, there was a big flash of light and a lot of smoke. Roy and the others started to cough, when the smoke cleared Edward and the unknown man had disappeared through a door Ed had made with Alchemy.
"Shit! This is not good" said Roy.
Unknown location
The air was stale and smelt damp. A cold chill could be felt throughout a dark looking room. It looked like it had been abandoned and made into a makeshift laboratory.
"Muwheheheh" The weird crazy man could not stop laughing. "Heh, This is brilliant. I didn't expect my experiment to work so well! Your incomplete but you have done well" He said as he ruffled Ed's hair. "A few more things then you be ready".
Edward didn't respond to the mad man's happy rants at him. He just looked on with no emotion to his face. You could of mistaken him for a statue if he wasn't breathing. His body may not be doing anything but Ed's mind was at a wonder.
'Am I dreaming? Did I really do that?…. D,d,did I hurt anyone!…I am so confused, everything is so hazy'.
"Hmmm, Now that my experiment is near to an end I can tell you what's going to happen next. You see I need to inject this into you" The unknown man held in his hand 2 syringes full of a red liquid. "I have been modifying blood from different animals with alchemy and red water to create a strong powerful formula that without fail create a strong biological weapon at my disposal." He gave a sinister grin "I have no idea how your body will react but I can see your eye's have changed slightly already" Ed's eye's were still that lovely gold but his pupils looked like a cats and his eye's were reflective in the darkness. "So it doe's affect the body! But now I have to do this!" The man injected Edward with a different syringe. The same kind he was using in the hospital. Ed this time didn't react to it. He was still standing there like a statue.
"This should be enough now to control you completely. That is a small dose of the modified blood mixed with something else. From now on you only listen to me".
"Yes master" Edward responded 'That's not right? Is this real? Can anybody help me? Please…help me?'
The mad man laughed some more as he grabbed his lab coat and put it on. "Now the real fun begins!"
Headquarters
"Not good, this is not good. We was so unprepared for the situation!" Roy said in frustration.
Roy, Alphonse and his team were back at head quarters trying to think what to do? Roy had sent Winry to Mrs Hughes place while the military business was taking place.
"Colonel, It's not your fault. How was we to know Edward was going to take that mans side?" Said sergeant Fuery.
"In fact we wasn't even sure what the hell was going on in the first place! So how could we be prepared?" added Lieutenant Breada.
"Yeah Colonel, Don't worry we will get Ed back" reassured Lieutenant Havoc.
"Colonel, I knew something strange was going on. As my brother was bleeding slightly in random places. I now know that it was a puncture wound from a needle" Said Alphonse "I should of said something the first time it happened"
"It's ok Alphonse, you wasn't to know. But I'm glad you told me when you did, why Ed would of disappeared completely without a trace! But we saw the mans face. As we speak Lieutenant Hawkeye is going through records to try and identify him". Roy rested his head on top of his hands "It may take a little while but we will find them".
Unknown location
A drip of water echoed throughout the room near by. The man was setting up a surgical table that had restraints on it. It was in the middle of a transmutation circle. Edward was sitting in a chair watching his new master tinkering with the table. His eye's reflecting what little light was in the dark dingy hideout.
"Edward I need you to come here and lay down for me"
"Yes master" he addressed as he got up and approached him without a thought. He laid down onto the table.
"No offence, but I have to restrain you. As I am going to complete your transformation and I am not sure of the out come. Plus you're a very strong talented Alchemist and I don't need those hands clapping together as a reflex responding to the experiment" The man said as he bounded Edwards arms.
"That's fine master. Do what you must" Edward responded. He didn't care what his master done, if he told him, he will do it. No questioned asked.
The man finished bounding his legs. "Were ready to begin" he said with a grin. "Brace yourself!" He then injected one of the modified red liquid syringes straight into his veins.
Edward immediately responded he cried out in pain. He tried to thrash about. "GAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAaaa…"
Before Edward could recover his new master then inject him with another syringe, then he placed his hands on the circle and it began to glow. Ed screamed out. His thrashing became worse, the restraints were making creaking noises from the strain. Sweat was pouring from his face, he grit his teeth in pain.
The mad man began to laugh once again in excitement "YES it's working!"
Vein's could be seen popped through Ed's skin from the stress of his body. His DNA was changing and it was painful. His muscles pulsated tightly to rhythm of his heart beat. Edward's appearance began to change slightly. Sharp fangs and teeth appeared, as well as claws on his flesh hand. The tips of ears had become pointy in shape. If there was any humanity left in his eye's there was no trace now. The man removed his hands from the circle painted on the floor, the flashes of light stopped. Ed was panting heavily, his body shaking from shock. His nervous system was causing him to twitch.
"YES! I HAVE DONE IT!" shouted out the unknown mad man. "Your perfect, You're the only one who has survived this. I knew you was a good choice" He began to undo Ed's restraints "I can see your body has changed slightly again. And before you get any ideas I do not consider you a chimera. You have far to many predators strengths in you to consider you a mere chimera. Now how do you feel?"
It took a moment for Edward to respond to him. He was still panting with heavy shaky breaths. Sweat still dripped down the boys face. Edward then sat up slowly and looked at his new master. He grinned at him while feeling his new teeth with his tongue. "I,I have to admit…m,master my head is throbbing,…but I think I am ok".
"Good good, Now rest. You must rest. This has taken a toll on your body and I can see by your face your body is craving it".
"Yes,s master" Ed responded and laid back down on the table and closed his eye's.
"Soon we will test your new strength and abilities my little Demon" he said with an evil grin.
Headquarters
Meanwhile, The Colonel and the others had a breakthrough, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye had found the identity of the kidnapper.
"His name is Isaac Grey. He already has a criminal record that's how I found him easily. He has been released from prison only a year ago from stealing resources at hospital's. Such as blood and equipment. He also in the past been prosecuted for petty crimes. So he is a familiar face to the authorities" explained Lieutenant Hawkeye.
She handed his file to the Colonel who had a quick glance through it. He then placed the file on his desk sliding it in from of him. "Take a good look at his photo, this is the man were going to pursue".
"YES SIR" His team said as they saluted.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye do have any clues for hideouts for this man?" Asked Roy.
"Yes I do Colonel, Isaac was last found by the authorities hanging out in old abounded buildings. I say old habits die hard Sir, so I took note of these locations in central and start there" Hawkeye said as she pointed to a map she had. The map had points on it circled in red pen.
"Right, Lieutenant's Havoc, Breada, you will go here" Roy said as he pointed at one if the locations "Alphonse and officer Falman you will go here. Me and Lieutenant Hawkeye will go here" Roy ordered. "I will also inform Major Armstrong to help us. Sergeant Fuery you accompany him and go here. Now, do not interfere on your own. Your goal is only on locating there where abouts. Once we find them, alert me at once. We will then regroup and enter the premises together. I am warning you DO NOT alert them your there, we are in the dark on Fullmetal's condition. Were not sure if he is himself and he may attack us." Roy warned.
"Yes sir" they saluted once again and then diploid on there mission not expecting what lies ahead.
Unknown location
It had a been few hours before Edward stirred from his slumber. He had been dreaming about people. He wasn't sure if they were memories or not? He didn't know who these people were but he recognised their face's. One face he kept seeing was a helmet from a suit of armour. 'That man in the armour who is he? I feel I know him…What has happened? Where am I? I feel confused, like I have lost something' Edward was scarred of his confusion. He didn't like the unknown thoughts and feelings that kept flowing through his mind and body.
Ed slowly opened his now inhuman eye's and starred up at the dark damp ceiling. He then looked around his surroundings to inspect it. He made a move and sat up on the table he was laying on. His untied hair falling loosely around his face. Ed rubbed his eyes with his flesh hand, when he stopped he looked at his hand. 'I didn't know I had claws' He quickly looked at his automail hand, that was no different. His ear felt itchy and he rubbed it, realising what felt like a earring pierced on top it. While he had been sleeping his master had tagged his ear. On it was writing imprinted in the metal saying 'E.E 101'.
Ed then got off the table with a slight wobble, he held onto the table to steady himself 'whoa, must of got up to quick' .
"Ah I see your up" said a voice echoing in the background.
Ed looked behind him, there in the doorway was a man in a dirty lab coat. Ed was surprised at himself on how well he could see in the darkness. He recognised this man as his master.
"Hello master" Ed greeted, he didn't know why he felt more relaxed once seeing him.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked as he walked closer to him.
"Yes master, I feel well rested" he answered.
"Now lets have a look at you" he pulled out a little torch from his pocket and shined it into Ed's eye's, watching his pupils react to the light as he flickered it on and off. He then opened Ed's mouth and inspected his teeth.
"Heheh, seems that the final result has changed you physically" he grinned "You're my greatest creation. I have tried in the past but all attempts have failed me. You have responded well to all my treatments. It is time for us to rid the great evil of this world" he stated as he laughed hysterically.
"Master, may I seek permission to ask you a question?"
"Yes, yes! Of course. What is it you desire to know?"
"You said I had many predatory traits, what are they?"
His master gave him the most evilest grin, he had the look of triumph in his eyes.
"I am so glad you asked! You see, you had to be perfect. No mere animal would do. I had to use them all. I used the DNA of what I considered the top predators in our world. You should have there eye's, sense's, strength, agility, stealth, hearing, ALL THEIR POWER! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaaa…"
A grin formed at Ed's lips, he felt proud that his master was pleased with him being strong.
"You my creation are the top predator! You can seek and destroy with ease! But that's not all! First of, we must see how advanced your skills are now?…transmute something".
Ed's grin grew even larger, he clapped his hands together. But before he had a chance to touch any materiel a flash of light appeared and his famous spear rose out if the ground. He done it simply by thinking it.
"Amazing, amazing" his master chirped "The red water in your DNA has made your alchemy remarkable! Quickly, quickly pass that to me!"
Edward tossed over the newly created weapon and his master caught it with ease. "Now watch out!" he cried as he lunged at him. Edward moved from harm so fast, his master had no chance of catching him. He was no skilled fighter but his master tried with all his strength to cut him. He then swung the weapon at him again and Ed jumped in a summersault right over his head. His master then dropped the weapon.
"Your ready, not only physically have you changed but your abilities have also. I can tell your senses respond more greater than a humans as well as your agility" He rubbed his chin as he smiled in thought. "Now I will tell you of a danger that approaches us!"
He began to explain to Ed about his thoughts on the military and that there were the evil in this world. That ever since King Bradley had shown his face the world has seen nothing but bloodshed. And that his family had died in the process.
"I used to be a scientist that worked for a company backed by the military. Evil things were done in that lab that I regret I got involved with. So that's why I must punish them!" He held his fist tightly in determination. "When I left I went into hiding and changed my name. I had to do something so I created my own lab and ended up creating you. Do you understand?".
Ed saw fire in his masters eyes burning with vengeance. He grinned at him "Yes master, I will avenge you" Ed said as his tongue slid across his teeth 'Heh I wish to test out my powers'.
His master began to laugh hysterically once more "…"
Outside an old Warehouse
When Edward had performed Alchemy the noise and light from it didn't go unnoticed. Falman and Alphonse had noticed it from a broken window on a warn out looking building. They had approached the small window that looked into what looked like a cellar. There in the badly lit room was Edward holding the weapon he just made.
"Brother!" Al whispered.
"Don't interfere! We must report back to Colonel Mustang immediately" said Officer Falman 'I wonder if he is about to fight him?'.
Falman then grabbed Alphonse by the arm and dragged him away. Al knew he couldn't rush in as it was risky. 'We be back to save you Brother' he thought as they both retreated.
Later at the discovered warehouse
Roy and his team had now regrouped at the abandon warehouse. They were getting ready to sneak in and rescue Ed.
They sneaked in quietly though a large broken window. Colonel Mustang looked around his surroundings to figure out what to do next. Even though it was daylight outside the inside of the building was dark and dingy. As a lot of the entrances and windows had been boarded up or covered by rotten old fabric that once would have been curtains. Roy noticed the dust sparkling in the rays of daylight that broke through gaps and holes in the room.
"We'll have to split up" whispered Roy. "Major Armstrong take Alphonse, Falman and Fuery and head that way. The rest of us will go this way" He ordered.
"Yes Colonel Mustang. Good luck to you sir" Saluted Major Armstrong. Then the two teams deployed there parting ways.
