Chapter 6:

Ed and Mustang's eyes met and they both ran down the steps and they flew out the door. The two ran as fast as they could with the ground shaking beneath them. Ed was completely unaware of the pain and he was running faster than he ever has in his life. Mustang was struggling to keep up and was breathing hard but he refused to slow down even a fraction of a second.

Further behind but still catching up was Lt. Hawkeye and Al. Hawkeye had her gun in hand and was getting faster and faster with each second. Al catching up at an amazing speed because he didn't have a body he never lost his breath so he could easily run at full speed without losing his breath.

Ed got to the ally way first with Mustang close behind. They were both breathing hard but they were both ready for anything. Ed clapped his hands together and turned his auto-mail into a hand sward. Mustang grabbed his ignition glove out of his pocket and put it on his hand preparing to snap his fingers. The earth was shaking with more force at the ally then any were else in Dublith.

Without warning the ground cracked and broke away with the hole glowing red. When Al finally made it he gasped staring at the glowing hole. When Hawkeye caught up she was breathing hard and she stared at the hole with wide eyes. After the hole grew about three feet and was almost at Ed and Mustangs toes a large Black Hand shot out of the hole and grabbed Ed tightly and dragged him in.

"FULLMETAL!" Mustang yelled after him. "BROTHER!" Al screamed. "EDWARD!" Hawkeye yelled as she started to raise her gun. The hand raised Ed into the air and before any of the others could do anything another black hand came out of the hole and this one grabbed Mustang. "COLONEL!" Hawkeye screamed.

She started towards the hands but Al grabbed her arm saying "No it'll just get you too." The arms started to retreat back to the hole pulling Ed and Mustang with them. The two of them were yelling and struggling to get free. Ed tried to cut the hand but his hand sward wouldn't penetrate the hand. Mustang tried to burn the arms of the hands but the flames didn't even leave so much as a single scorch mark.

The two alchemists tried everything they could but they couldn't even damage the hands. Even with all the strength they could muster the hands wouldn't let them free. Hawkeye shot the hands but the bullets just got lodged into the arm and were shot back at her. Al jumped in front of her to protect her from the ricocheting bullets.

Hawkeye grinded her teeth "Damn it not again" she thought remembering when she fought the homunculus Lust. She cursed at her own uselessness and looked up at Ed and Mustang. Her brown eyes gleamed with worry. Al spotted the worry in her eyes and turned to look at his brother still struggling and he became worried as well.

He knew his brother could handle himself because he was stubborn it made him a strong person. Then he looked at Mustang struggling and trying to get the hands to burst into flames. Then he remembered when Scar went after Ed. It was raining that day but the Colonel still tried to create a spark and he would have been killed if he didn't have the Lieutenant hadn't been there watching his back.

Al looked at Lieutenant whose eyes were filling with tears and thought about what it would be like if he were in her shoes and he felt really bad for her. Suddenly Al remembered Winry and he got worried about how she would react if he told her Ed disappeared and he began to shake with fear. Then he thought of a way to get Ed to use his strength to its full potential.

"HEY PIP-SQUEAK I'LL TELL WINRY YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HER IF YOU DON'T GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Al yelled at his brother. Ed yelled "WHO ARE YOU CALLING-I DO NOT YOU LIER!" Ed's face got bright red and he started fuming. He punched and kicked at the hand and Al yelled "WELL HOW ARE YOU GONNA STOP ME IF YOU GET PULLED INTO THE HOLE SHORTY!"

Ed grinded his teeth and he pulled and kicked at the hands trying to get them to let him go so he could pummel his little brother. The hands still didn't budge. After Ed was so worn out he could barely transmute the hands started pulling them into the red glowing hole. The two got a blast of energy at the fear of what was going to happen to them.

They fought with all their might trying to get out of the hands grasp but it was futile. The two alchemists were being pulled into the glowing hole. They struggled as Al and Hawkeye screamed their names but they knew they could do nothing to help. The last thing the struggling alchemists saw was Al yelling Ed's name and holding Hawkeye back who was screaming the Colonels name the tears now streaking down her face. Then it all went black. . .
