Chapter 6

The rain drizzled slowly turning to a mist then disappearing all together, as the Colonel and his Lientuent faced the homunculus who was standing over their friend. Envy, leaned down and grabbed Ed by his braid and lifted him up putting the knife to his throat, "Come on Colonel, come towards me and see what happens to the pipsqueak." Sneering, his face twisted into cruel features, the boy's face a hollow mask of pain. Roy panicked a little at seeing his friend so broken, it reminded him of when they first met, he was just a shell in a wheel chair back then, he had the same eyes now. Should he snap and kill Envy… but what about Fullmetal could he take that risk? Seeing his consideration in his eyes, the homunculus laughed, "You're actually considering it, this is too much! You humans just kill me." If he wasn't holding a blade to his hostage's neck he'd be doubled over in laughter.

Checking her sightlines, aiming carefully, she could do this she was a sniper, the Hawk's Eye no one had better aim, she wouldn't hurt Ed she had promised she would get him back in one piece no matter what. "Sir, I can get a clear shot at Envy without hitting Ed do you want me to take it?"

Glaring at the form of Al, threating his brother's life, sickened by the homunculus even thinking of doing that, he nodded once. She shot him in the head causing him to drop Ed and the knife, a perfect shot again. Red lighting flashed as Envy stood, glaring at the woman, still in the guise of Al, "Why? Why did you do it, how could you let them do this to me brother? I thought you were going to save me?"

"You can give up the ruse; we know you're not Al." Her gun still leveled at Envy.

Ed's broken form stirred on the ground slowly standing "Shut up." The blonde Lientuent let loose three more bullets, two hitting the homunculus's heart and one his head. "You just shut the hell up!" Charging the body of his brother, as another bullet sailed out of Riza's gun, the anger on his face replaced with shock and he dropped to the ground motionless.

"FULLMETAL!" No, no! He couldn't not again; he can't lose Edward like he lost Meas.

With that, Envy turned back to his favorite form, laughing wildly, these humans never ceased to amuse him, "You all really are fools! The face of a child can do this much!" Shaking his head, then lifting it to the sky, laughing louder, "You humans are so sentimental!"

"You better believe it!" Suddenly without warning Ed sweeped his feet around knocking Envy's feet out from under him, standing as the homunculus slammed onto the ground, smirking.

Shocked, he looked up incredulously at the boy who had just kicked him, "What? But I thought!"

"Not bad acting, huh?"

Riza had known from the start that she hadn't hit him, but knew that he must have had something planned so she had said nothing, "You really think I would shoot someone by accident Colonel?"

Roy was in too much shock to respond, but knows he should have had more faith in her.

"Decided to take a page right out of your book, Envy." Smirking, straightening his red trench coat, wincing as it brushed over his broken arm.

Enraged he stood, "You think you can copy me! You little runt!"

"I am not a runt!" Leaping slamming his auto mail heel into Envy's face, too late he realized his mistake, as his heel was grabbed and he was slammed into the concrete his head bounced on the rock hard surface, blood pooling in his hair as he blacked out.

"Just regaining the will to fight isn't enough, pipsqueak." Chuckling at, the look in Roy's eyes as he stared at Ed's fallen form, and ran to his side.

"C'mon, Fullmetal, get up." Please let it be an act, it has to be, "We gotta move, c'mon…" he wasn't moving. "…Fullmetal…"

"I don't think it's an act this time Sir, I might be ok, he probably has a concussion we need to wrap this up and get him medical attention."

Envy, now turned on Roy Mustang, this was going to be even more amusing, "And, now we have the soft hearted Flame Alchemist, is that the look you wore to the Lt. Major's funeral?" His smirked widening at the look on the Colonel's face, "He was a bigger fool than you, he fall for the oldest trick in the book," a hand going to his face snickering, "all I did was show him his wife pointing a gun at him and he just crumbled." A wicked gleam in his eyes he even took on Hughes form, "You even have the same face right now, and you're as weak as he was!"

"Colonel?" Riza was terrified at the look on her subordinate's face, he looked broken by grief and horror, no, no he couldn't do this. She had promised to watch his back and now the enemy was his own mind, and she couldn't think of a thing to do.

Laughing louder, cruel wicked features on the usually king Lt. Major's face, he brandished the knife walking closer to Roy, "You should see yourself," taking on Hughes voice, "You know Roy if you keep acting like this, you'll never become Fuher."

She couldn't take this much longer, desperate she cried out, "Come on Sir snap out of it! I can't watch your back if you give up! He's the one who killed Hughes, and if we don't hurry Ed too!" Tears start streaming down her face, as she sees her words aren't getting through to him, breaking through her formal professional façade, "Roy Mustang please, don't you dare give up on me, I'll kill you and myself if you do."

Envy laughed he couldn't believe, he had broken both of them so easily, this was a piece of cake when Father sent him to break their moral, he didn't think it would be this much fun. "I can't believe this, you let this man be your man on the inside you couldn't have chosen worse, I mean come on, Meas Hughes only cares about his wife and daughter you fool!" That was the last straw for Roy Mustang his face contorting in hate his fingers coming together, gritting his teeth about to snap, literally. Taking back on Hughes voice, "Now come on Roy, are you really going to kill me?" With a scream, he snapped, and an explosion rocked the street.
