   Sixth chapter
Yeah...finally I decided to continue the fan fic...
So, here ya go, the next part...

“Lost memories”

The sun it’s illuminating the dark streets… In a fresh and sweet morning… The birds were singing in the trees and the persons look like they were happy for the new day.
But in a house… Even when the light appeared…the memories of the night were alive somehow…
A young woman with blue eyes and blond hair was covering her face with both hands, sobbing; while a young man with light brown hair comforts her. Both were sitting in the dining room. In the living room another concerns were discussed…

Izumi: I don’t understand darling… Everything looked like it was lost…but suddenly he woke up… We thought that all was cleared…Now…the boy doesn’t remember anything about his past…
Sig: You say that he was dead and the next minute he woke up but, that he didn’t remember about his parent’s… He didn’t remember his own childhood friend right?
Izumi: No… He might have a deal with The Gate… His memories in exchange for his life…
Sig: But… Not all the memories, Izumi… I think they took the memories of his home and family…
Izumi: Then, how you explain that he remembers to Alphonse? He is part of his family too…

The boy before mentioned, interrupts the conversation while he was caring in his arms the bloody clothes of his brother…
Al: ….. The bond between my brother and I it’s very strong-said; he shows a weak smile- Even The Gate, couldn’t broken it-continued while he was putting the bloody clothes in water- But now… I don’t know how to tell him… What happened with mom and dad…
Actually…myself… I’m not sure to have the strong will to revive that…
Izumi: If your brother remembers you… Means that not everything it’s lost… He might be able to recover those memories
Al: But… in exchange of what?

Silence. Upstairs, in a room, boy reposes in a bed, the sun’s light was illuminating his face. He makes an uncomfortable grimace for the same light.
Izumi: Nevertheless… You’ll have to tell him everything… Even if you hided it…He’ll find out and it will be more painful to him
Al: I know…
The silhouette of the boy incorporates on the bed; looks confused around and finally, his eyes look outside of the window once that his eyes accustomed to the light
Al: Ok… I’ll do it… (Turns around and disappears of the room)
Izumi: (Sighs) …..Hope he accepts it…. It will be painful but…it’s the best choice….

The door of the room opens. Ed turns around. A blond girl enters with her look down while she carries a cup in her hands
Winry attains to the bed, Ed looks her confused. She spreads the cup and lifts her look, smiling
Winry: Drink it… You will feel better…
Ed: Well… (Takes it) Thank you… Umh…Ah…(Downs his looks shamed)
Winry: …Winry ^_^
Ed: !! Yes!... Of course…Winry… Thank you n_ñ
Winry:^_^ Winry Rockbell… Don’t forget it ok?
Ed: Alright… (Winry turns around and downs her look, walks to the door. There, she finds Al)
Al: Winry…Are you ok?
Winry: (Her lips trembles. Lifts her look and smiles) what are you talking about? I’m ok don’t worry ^_^(Walks away slowly)
Al: Winry…(Enters to the room while Ed drinks a little the cup of tea) Good morning brother! How are you?
Ed: …Hi Al… Better…I guess ñ_ñ
Al: Good to hear that happy.gif (Ed downs his eyes looking the liquid; his reflection returns him a sad and thoughtful look. Al changes his face) Brother…
Ed: Al… Could you…talk to me about…Mom and Dad? What happened to them or where they are? Also…details of our home… Please…
Al: (Surprised for the unexpected reaction of Ed) Alright… But I have to warn you: Some things won’t be very nice to hear… (Approaches and sits on a chair)
Ed: Don’t care… I just want to know… How is or it was our family…. Our home…. Everything
Al: Ok….. Our natal village it’s Rizembul… (That way, Al explains all to Ed the painful and happy experiences… Ed listens without show a weak attitude, hiding those tears…
When finally, Al finished, the room felt into a deep silence. Ed’s hands were trembling as his lips while he was looking the liquid in the cup)

Ed: S-so… That’s why we live here…right?
Al: Yes, but sometimes, Winry come to visit us… Helping us to remember our home….. Maybe one day, we could visit Rizembul what do you think? n_ñ (Ed left the cup on a table next to his bed)
Ed: …I don’t know…
Al: (Touches his kneels before talking) Brother….. Do you remember…something after you…well…died?
Ed: It’s curious… I remember everything about it… Dante and her reasons… But I couldn’t remember even our own house, here in Central…
Al: Then... You remember something don’t you?
Ed: …Some images are blurry… First… I was in the middle of…nothing… And then… It was in front of me…
Al: The Gate? (Ed assents)
Ed: …Those things…spoke to me… They told me that they could let me live… But in exchange of something more…
Al: … What did you give them?
Ed: …I… (Flashbacks that shows Ed in front of The Gate, those eyes were looking at him mischievously) …..They wanted…a part of me… (Ed falling into “nothing”) …..I gave them….. I gave them… Ghh… (A couple of images, which cannot be seen, appear on his head. He touches his head with both hands closing his eyes because the pain) Dammit! Ghh… (The anterior images pass fast until they stop by a scream of pain…by Ed)
Al: Brother! (Touches his shoulders) Are you ok?
Ed: Ghh…Yes… It’s just that… (Keeps silence)
Al: Ngh…

(In that moment, Izumi and Sig entered to the room. Al explains them what happened and the things calm down.
Later, they went to left Winry at the train station.
While the train was starting to move, Winry was looking, sad, to Ed, who has his look in a point; even that, she didn’t expect that he lift his eyes to look her and lift his hand to say good bye…
When the train went, the others were planning to go home, but Ed wanted to be alone for a moment. Al understood that and he let him go, but first, he gave him instructions of how to get home in a paper XD
Ed walked for the streets, lost in his thoughts… Wishing to find an answer soon….
He arrived to the Lake of City Central (Hah! There was a lake? If not…lets add it X) lol) He sits in a chair and watches the ripples in the water, while the wind was percolating between the trees. Edward feels guilty…but at the same time, he blamed destiny. Why he has those powers? Why he couldn’t be more wary? Why he was enjoying the second chance? Why?...
Nevertheless, he left the site and went to a place where, curiously, he didn’t want to go, but ended there: The Library
He entered and in a few minutes, he was sitting with 4 books accommodated in piles and with one opened, reading, investigating, and thinking…
In the tree books he didn’t find anything interesting, in the fourth book, he discovered that there were things for Botanic Alchemy. Nevertheless, when he opened the last book, he saw a title that captured his attention: “The Gate, legend or reality?”
He remembered that, before, he yanked the book while he was trying to get another one. When he was about to get it back to it’s site, he looked it for a minute and then, he put it on his arms. Ed wondered that, if there was a God, he manipulates the destiny of the persons…
While he was reading the article, his eyes were opening surprised…
Who was the writer of that book? “Unknown” Yeah, he should have supposed that… Finally, he found it… There was a paragraph that almost makes him fall of the chair…

“Centuries ago, people believed that the persons who had a strange symbol in a part of their body, were related with the Evil. The government and the church, for their own fears, ordered to kill those persons that in that moment will defeat the real evil that was coming. They wanted to avoid that the persons create the demons…
But, a couple of lovers survived… They had a boy that they fostered with love and they also prepared him for the war that was coming…
When the boy grow up and his parents died, the same mark appeared on his heart but the kind people couldn’t fingered him… That man was called “the chosen one”; he’ll have the key to access to the Universal Truth…
He chosen and assembled persons that had a pure soul and he make them his disciples…
Years later, they formed their families…”

Ed, shocked, changed the page but his surprise was bigger when he noticed that there was a missing page…
Frustrated, believing that that was only a bad dream, he closed the book, but first, he wrested the first part of the legend…
He took back the other books and went out of the Library completely shocked
He didn’t know what to do… Tell his teacher…his brother…
He discovered the genuine truth, behind truths…
That old and almost wrested book has developed part of his destiny… The reason to explain why he fought with the homunculi in the past… The reason to explain his mysterious powers… Why his enemies used him and at the same, wanted to kill him…
Him, Edward Elric…Definitely was… The new “chosen one”…

   Chapter V
Thanks again ^_^
Please comments or advices. You know too… My grammar sucks a little XD
I will continue with the script-paragraph form It’s easier than only script or only paragraphs U.U
By the way… I think that you understood it so… When I put this “” it’s that the character is thinking something ok? If I don’t put a note next to “” the character is thinking ^_^

CHAPTER V
“A strong heart”

(Winry looks worried though the window waiting… She called Izumi, and the militaries and explained them all… Now she was waiting… Only waiting for them…
In that moment, Izumi appears on the garden, she is looking worried that scene, Winry puts a weak smile and goes out, Izumi looks Winry. “She must know something,” she thought. Goes to the entrance of the house where Winry waits.
While… Envy is looking the two Elric brothers, smiling. “It’s true… He has… those eyes… Eyes with such a burning flame… You don’t know who is the real him, Dante… I saw once those eyes… Long time ago… It was blurry… It was a fog around the place… And those scared eyes looked at me…” He thought.)
Ed: Why you put me in this transformation!?
Envy: Heh… It’s simple… Your powers must be in my master’s side
Ed: Why!!?? (Angry. Special tears)
Envy: …. You are scared… Don’t you?
Ed: !!! What?
Envy: You have fear who you are becoming… You don’t want to transform in one of us… You think that you cannot be a slave of my master… It’s that… Right?
Ed: Ghh….
Al: Brother… Come on I know you are strong… You can’t just… Leave it all without try it again! You can’t!
Ed: ….. Al….
Envy: But you can’t do anything about it! Stop acting like a foolish boy that thinks that exits a cure ´cause it is not true…
Ed: (Downs his look) you are wrong…
Envy: Huh?
Ed: Maybe the cure doesn’t exist… However… That doesn’t mean that all it’s lost (Transmutes a piece of wall into a knife)
Envy: That won’t work on me
Ed: Heh… (Lifts his look with a smile on his face) I wasn’t thinking in use it on you… (Lifts the knife pointing to his chest)
Envy: What are you…??!!
Ed: If I die… The plan of your master will ruin, right? I’m useless dead…
Al: Brother don’t!!
Ed: Go away Al! You can’t stay here anymore… Now… (Moves the knife and in the right moment, Al moves his arm and hits Ed’s arm, loosing the knife) Idiot! What have you done??!!
Al: You are the idiot! How can you think on such a horrible thing?! Leave me here… Alone… I won’t let you!
Ed: Shut up!
Envy: You… (Suddenly… Envy moves and attacks Ed; Al helps him. A fight with the three characters. Envy hits Al. He falls and Envy approaches to him with a sadism smile)
Al: !!!!
Ed: Al!! (Special tears. He picks up the knife and transmutes it making it bigger. He puts a courage eyes and runs to Envy. Suddenly.) Ugh... (He looses the knife and grabs his thorax) Damn it! Not now… Ghh… (“Now!” Envy thought. He runs to Ed and immobilize him in the wall grabbing his neck)
Envy: You have to face it… You will become a homunculus… And there’s nothing you can do to stop it… It hurts right? Don’t worry (Looks like he is searching something on his pocket) I will reduce it with… this… (Takes out a little red stone)
Ed: !!! (Tussles) Ghh…
Envy: Stop putting those eyes! You don’t have fear right? Who cares…? With this, the transformation will get complete… (The purple eyes shine and Envy approaches more that stone to his thorax until this one gets engrossed… Slowly)
Ed: Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! (Close his eyes)
Al: Brother!!!!
Envy: Hahahaha (A crimson glow surrounds that stone and Ed’s thorax, better… His ouroburus seal)
Ed: Ahhhhhhh!!!! (The crimson glow intensifies, the seal “moves” and the two halves approaches. Ed continues screaming of pain. Envy looks at him with an evil smile. Al can’t do anything ´cause if he tries to do something Envy will kill his brother. While, Roy and his companions arrived where Winry and Izumi are, they observed a couple of explosions a few streets ahead. All run to that place)
Ed: Ahhhhh!!!! (The stone finishes of engross into Ed’s seal. Suddenly, he opens his eyes and they turn into those empty eyes. Envy looses his neck. Ed “faints” and Envy hold him with his left arm)
Envy: Heh… That’s it…
Al: Brother!! What have you done to him?!
Envy: Don´t worry… I only accelerated the transformation… He is conscious about what its happening… Nevertheless, he can’t move (You can see Ed “hanging” with his empty eyes, he is breathing slowly holding of Envy’s arm) Let’s see that seal now… (He raises Ed’s shirt and you can see that the ouroburos seal its seemingly complete and close. Al sees it with the special tears) Oh, it looks good… Now for the business, (He carries Ed, his head it’s bowed behind, still with the empty eyes)
Al: Don’t!! (Claps his hands)
Envy: Alphonse… Don’t do it… (A different voice, mom’s voice, he transforms into Sloth and looks Al) Please, he will be fine with us… Also (He approaches Ed’s head to his chest) you don’t want to see him dead right? I know you love your big brother so… Let him go… (Al stays in silence for a few moments and then he separate his hands slowly) Good child… You make a right decision (Transforms into his normal form) See ya little brother! (Al, repented tries to run behind them… Envy jumps to a roof and disappears behind it.)
Al: Brother!!! (He falls kneeling and closes angry his hands. Roy, Winry, Izumi and the others arrive and look all the mess, worried)
Winry: Al!! (Runs to him, and tackles his shoulders)
Roy: What happened here!? (Looks around)
Riza: Sir! Come over here! (Roy goes were Riza is. She is pointing to the wall where a crimson liquid is. Roy looks at it carefully and finally, he understands. He goes with Al, retires Winry and tackles him by the shoulders)
Roy: Al… What happened to your brother!? (Al stays in silence) … Al you need to tell us, what happened!? Tell us damn it! (Same pose) Ghh… (Releases Al; Winry approaches and puts a hand on his shoulder, she whispers)
Winry: Al? Please tell us, it’s important… What happened here? And… Where’s Ed?
Al: …. Envy….
Winry: Huh? (Roy turns around and stares looking Al)
Al: … Envy…… Those stones…… The crimson glow… Those empty eyes… My brother… My… My brother…
Winry: Where’s him? (Al stays in silence)
Riza: Alphonse?
Roy: Say it!
Al: ……. Envy…. He….. Accelerated the transformation…. (Everyone gets surprised)
Winry: What do you mean?
Al: He engrossed a crimson stones into Ed’s seal… He said that with those stones, the transformation would get complete…. Then…. Then…. He put those empty eyes and fainted… Envy took him away again… (Everyone stays in silence)
Izumi: Come here Al… We need to search an exit for this… (Approaches to him and helps him to get up) Your brother is strong; they can’t change him into another thing… However, his strength can’t support for ever; so we need to find him before it will be late… Come…
Al: …. Yes….
(Once that all are in the Elric’s house, they’re trying to locate Ed)
Roy: Again… The same situation… But this time… The danger got stronger…
Al: Brother… (Creepy silence)
Izumi: …. STOP FOOLING AROUND!!! Damn it! We are supposed to be here for find a solution for this problem! Not for crying!
Winry: She is right… Ed is counting with us, as you said, Izumi… His strength will not support forever… (Everybody recovers; Riza talks)
Riza: Let’s think, the two last places where Dante was… Where the old church and a house… She can’t stay there anymore…
Izumi: I met very well Dante… For the thing that she is going to do… She will need a big place with instruments… Red stones and that kind of things…. (All discuss about many places… Everybody gave his or her ideas… Finally, all of them got the answer…)
Al: The 5th laboratory!!!
Falman: But… It was destroy and closed… Why Dante will choose that place?
Fuhery: For the materials?
Armstrong: And for the installations… It’s more than obviously…
Breda: But it’s closed!
Havoc: And part of it it’s destroyed, we can’t eliminate those details
Roy: Not at all… (Everybody looks him with curiosity. Sighs) Yeah it’s destroyed, but only a little part… The true laboratory it’s more inside… That was a military secret, hidden by Archer… Hidden to Hughes and their men… Nevertheless, I really, didn’t believe in that… Until today… If that homunculus took Fullmetal were Dante hides… And she is planning to use red stones for create a new homunculus… The 5th laboratory it’s the correct place
Al: Then, we need to go right now before Ed… (Stops)
Izumi: Then, what are we waiting for?
Roy: Let´s go! Breda you will wait outside with Fuhery, you must control the multitude if the things go wrong…
Breda: Yes, sir!
Fuhery: Yes, sir!
Roy: Now, let’s go!!
(While… In another place… Ed wakes up, he is lay down over his chest, slowly open his eyes and stands up)
Ed: Whe- where am I? (The “place” where he is… Empty… White… He looks his hand) Huh? (It looks transparent) What…? Hah?… (Slowly, he turns around, looking behind) !!! (In front of him… The Gate… Ed stares at it, a little scared. Suddenly, the Gate opens it’s doors and those things appear; they tackles Ed’s head… As if, they’re trying to extract something of him) Ghaaaaaa!!! Leave me alone!!!! (He tries to release himself, tussling and moving constantly) Leave me!!! I said… LEAVE ME!!!! (He “wrests” those hands of his head; Ed starts to run, reeling. He looks behind and The Gate its closer… Suddenly, he stops looking something more tenebrous: A giant Ouroburous seal…) Damm it! I’m trapped… (He is totally right… He is between those destinies…) …. I… need to take a choice… (Looks the Gate. Stares for a few moments. Looks the Ouroburus seal. Stays in silence for a few moments with his eyes closed; finally, he stares at the seal) It’s a risk…that I have to take…I… I won’t lose to you!! Ghaaaaaa!!!! (Runs and jumps to the seal, passing through it, suddenly, he falls in… Darkness?.... The image disappears and the “background” turns golden; transforming into empty golden eyes… The eyes of Edward… Those empty eyes slowly start to change into his normal eyes. Ed closes his eyes for a moment and then opens them) Where...? (Looks around, everything seems a little blurry. He is lay down on a table. He rubs his eyes with his left hand; suddenly he hears a familiar voice…)
“So… You haven’t transformed yet… (Ed opens more his eyes and turns head. Dante appears from the shadows) Doesn’t matter… You’re just at one baby step….of have a new and perfect life… (Ed finally understands: He is in the middle of a transmutation circle. Quickly, incorporates himself) Oh no… Don’t think about… (Claps her hands and a couple of hands appear from the table and grabs Ed’s neck)
Ed: Ghhh!! Let…go…. Ghh… (Ed tussles; one of the hands releases his neck and grabs his arm, then the other one makes the same. Dante laughs. The hands approach him to the table; finally, defeat him. A cross forms in the same table, those hands traps his wrists in the “arms” of the cross. Ed tries to deliver himself while Dante approaches to him)
Dante: It’s useless to resist now Edward Elric…
Ed: Ghh… *pant* *pant* *pant*
Dante: I have to admit that I’m impressed; you have such a strong will… Congratulations…. (Approaches to him more)
Ed: I’m not happy that a person like you congratulates me…
Dante: Heh…. You’re so prideful…
(While, the militaries were arriving to the 5th laboratory)
Al: …. I will go…
Izumi: I’ll go with you…
Roy: Also, we will go… You don’t know if you will need help (Smiles)
Al: ….. (Looks Winry) Winry, you stay here with Fuhery ok? It’s too dangerous…
Winry: Ok Al… Go… and please… be careful… (Al smiles her and then he enters with all his “team”. But someone observes them..)
???: We can’t let them to ruin our master’s plan… You know what to do right?.... Ok…. Now let’s go…
(Back then, with Ed and Dante)
Ed: You’ll never win, Dante… How can you play with the lives of the persons?
Dante: Because I can Edward…Soon… You will help me to create a new Philosophers Stone…. With your powers…
Ed: I won’t let you to use my powers for your own business!
Dante: You will… Your strength will end…and your powers will be mines…. The power that it’s hidden in (Puts her hand over Ed’s eyes and passes it slowly) these golden eyes…. Why you don’t share those powers… (Touches his temple and slips her hand for his face, a side of his face)
Ed: Ghh…
Dante: …trapped in… (Her hand slips for his entire chest, making curves until it arrives to his tummy. Stops) …this body? (Withdraws her hand and licks the fingers that touched the tummy; smiling)
Ed: Ngh…. You… you’re such a sick… Now I understand why my father abandoned you… You want everything… but only for your own good isn’t it? Who cares the others? You send the homunculi for make the dirty job making them to believe that they will become humans… but no… all it’s for you… and nobody else…
(While, Al and the others, found two obstacles in the middle of the road to find Ed)
Envy: Sorry… but we can’t let you pass from this point…
Al: Where’s my brother!?
Envy: … Brother? Heh… no more kid… He is with my master… I mean… his master…
Al: !! No!! It can’t be! He hasn’t transformed! I know he is still a human!
Envy: Maybe… but you won’t arrive in time… We won’t let you…
Al: I will pass even if I need to fight with you!
Envy: Then let’s fight…
Gluttony: Can I eat the others!?
Envy: Yeah sure... Go ahead and eat
Roy: Let’s fight…
Izumi: Yes…
Al: Brother… (Al run and attacks Envy while Gluttony attacks Izumi and the militaries)
Dante: I did those things because the people are stupid… In addition, the homunculi are the result of their foolish things… A mistake… they neither deserve to be humans, as I told you… I’m the sin’s shepherdess…
Ed: Bullshit! You are a human, just like my father….just like me... just like all…
Dante: No.....Hohenheim has died… and you will not be a human anymore…
(Al recedes dodging an Envy’s attack and stays back with back with Roy and Izumi)
Al: What are we going to do general?
Izumi: We are wining but that’s not the point… They only want to make time…
Roy: That’s right… (Looks around) Al… Go ahead, go for your brother… we will cover you…
Al: What?
Izumi: You heard Alphonse… We will distract those homunculi while you will go for Ed… Don’t look behind and run ok?
Al: …Ok…
Izumi: …. Ready?
Roy: …. NOW! (Izumi and Roy attack Envy; Riza understands and tells Armstrong to attack Gluttony at the same time. Al waits the moment, and runs ahead quickly.)
Ed: ... What kind of person can do that again? (Special tears)
Dante: Now you understand… (Looks to the door) The moment is coming Edward… Your little friends have come for you… But they won’t make it in time…
Ed: !! Don’t do anything with them or I—
Dante: What are you going to do? (Looks at him) huh? …. It’s not in your hands; you can’t change the future that it’s coming… and you learned that long time ago…
(Al is running and when he arrives, he sees 5 doors… While he is thinking which one, something hits him and he falls)
???: Did you believed that I will fall in that fake? How fool…
Al: (Arises himself) Envy!
Envy: Your journey to rescue your brother ends here… You’ll never know which door is… I won’t let you… (Attacks him)
Al: !!!
(Ed hears noises behind the door and looks Dante that is looking the door worried, but smiling)
Dante: I see… One of your friends achieved arrive until here…
Ed: Don’t do anything!
Dante: You aren’t in a position to order me…. The person who is behind that door won’t make it… It’s over now… (Of her pocket, takes a couple of red stones) Remember these?
Ed: !!! (Special tears)
Dante: As you haven’t transformed yet… These stones will complete it… First, you will learn to have them inside your body…. (Approaches one of the stones to his mouth. Ed turns head and closes his mouth but slowly, Dante forces him to eat that stone)
Ed: Ghaa…. Ghh… *cough* *cough* *cough* Ghh…
Dante: You don’t like it? ….. Don’t enjoy the flavor yet?... Don’t worry… Soon you will like it… The second step now… it’s to complete the seal….
Ed: !!! (Tussles)
Dante: Don’t resist… the end of your human life has come… (Rises his shirt) say hello to your new life!! (Approaches the stone to the seal that makes reaction and starts to get engrossed as the first time)
Ed: (Closes his eyes of pain) Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! (A red-pink glow surrounds the room. Al hears the scream and looks a door that it’s shining. Goes to it but Envy locks the pass smiling mischievously)
Al: Move it!
Envy: It’s over little brother… Now he will be a homunculus…
Al: No… He is strong… he is waiting for me… making an effort that it’s finishing… So if you don’t move I will do it! (Al puts a serious and angry look)
Envy: Heh… That will see…
Al: Ghh… Get out of the way!! (Runs to him clapping his hands)
Ed: Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! (The reaction becomes so strong; the “chains” that were tackling Ed’s wrists brakes. Ed elevates a little making like an arch. Dante laughs.
Suddenly, the wall brakes and two silhouettes fall. One of them arises and pushes Dante, interrupting the reaction. Al pushes Ed, falling far of the table and takes him far of the transmutation circle)
Al: Brother!! (Ed is lay down of one side, slowly incorporates and trembling tries to withdraw something) Huh? (Approaches and sees that his entire thorax is shining with that pink-red glow and that he is trying to withdraw a particle of a red stone)
Ed: Ghh…. Dammit.... Ghhh…. Ghaaaa!!... (Finally retires the particle panting. Throws it far) Al… Al…
Al: I’m here Ed!
Ed: ……Thank you…… (Al surprises for that strange reaction. Helps Ed to get up. Envy and Dante observes them)
Dante: How troublesome…. You shouldn’t have came child… That seal it’s almost complete… The only thing that completes it… It’s that little stone… (Silence)
Al: Well keep dreaming ´cause my brother is not going to transform into your slave!
Dante: Are you sure? You have no right to stop me… You are just a human…
Ed: Again, you’re going to say that you aren’t human… How pathetic are you…
Envy: Shut up moron!
Dante: Easy Envy… Edward… We know that we aren’t pathetic as we say at each other… I have piles of knowledge in my mind and you have they key for create a stone… We are the half’s… Join to me… Together we could be immortals… Moreover, powerfully…
Ed: I’m not interested in your offer… I’m ok being only a…pathetic human…
Dante: You have no choice Edward… (You can hear noises of a fight not far of there)… Gluttony is making a good job with your military friends..… But well… If they can beat Gluttony… and achieve arrive here… We will kill them…
Ed: You!! (Tries to attack her but his legs don’t response very well and he stumbles, Al tackles him) What the…? What happens with my body?
Envy: Now you noticed it don’t you?
Ed: What?
Dante: As your seal it’s almost complete, and I introduced stones inside your body many times, finally they are starting to have reactions with it… Soon you will not be able to move… And I can finally finish this little job…
Al: !!! Brother!
Ed: It can’t be… How you… Ghh… (Becomes weaker and Al holds him)
Envy: We were just making time… We don’t speak too much kid… Now you will wait there while the reaction continues… I will take care of our litter brother….
Al: (Stares at Envy for a few minutes) Ed, wait here just for a couple of minutes ok? I will be back…. (Helps Ed to support in a column)
Ed: No Al! Wait! (Tries to move but his legs don’t answer and he slips till he gets sit) Ghh… Dammit…
Envy: Come on little brother… It must be difficult to fight with somebody that once, was your brother too…
Al: You’re not our brother! Even if you were…human… you’ll be only our stepbrother… You didn’t came from the same mother remember?
Envy: But of the same father yes… Anyway… Forget that… and start to fight!
Ed: Al!! (Shouts, grabbing his thorax. Al and Envy run to each other to attack but suddenly, Gluttony enters to the room making noise and destruction)
Al: Brother!! (Recedes and helps him to get up)
Ed: What…happens…here?
Dante: Did you finished with them Gluttony? (Looking at the monster)
Gluttony: Could not…. Scared me… Flames…
Ed: (Hears the last thing) !!... Flames? (Looking Al)
Al: Yes, the general came too with Izumi… (Ed smiles, sarcastic. Releases Al and stumbles a little but finally he achieves to stand up)
Ed: Definitely… I… won’t… lose… to you! (Runs to Dante and tries to hit her but Envy blocks the way and he hits him instead. Their fists crash and they are holding to each other with their hands)
Envy: You won’t dwarf?
Ed: No… I have business here… Friends that will miss me… Family that waits for me…. Something…that you don’t have!
Envy: Heh… Who cares? I don’t need them… Who needs to be a loved human when you’re immortal? You humans are weak…
Ed: ……But at the bottom, you want… don’t you?
Envy: …Heh… That we will see! (Hits him in his thorax)
Ed: Ghaa!! (Recedes. Envy approaches and hits him. Ed falls, slowly tries to get up trembling. Envy is going to hit him again but Al interferes. When they’re going to fight Gluttony attacks him and Ed stays with Envy again)
Envy: See? With only one punch, you’re almost finished… (Ed ignores him and stands up slowly. Envy kicks him) Why you don’t surrender? It will be more easily…
Ed: I… can’t… (Stays with his hands in the floor)
Envy: What?
Ed: I already told you…. I… have… persons that waits… for me… I have a reason……… That’s…. That’s my only reason to live!! (Claps hands and put them in the floor, making Envy stumble. Ed stands up quickly and starts to hit him. Al achieves to defeat Gluttony by trapping him into the wall. Ed is winning but, in one punch, Envy falls and he sees that little stone shining. He grabs it and stands up laughing mischievously)
Envy: Heheheh… Your reason to live huh?...What about father? He actually had a reason to live and what he did? .... He let me to kill him… Pathetic… When you have died… Nobody will remember you years later…
Ed: Yes, they will! Because, during my life… I left footprints in their lives…. I really don’t understand one thing… Why, if you don’t care about the humans... Why you insist in pursuing us? Killing us… Continue with your road and leave us alone!
Envy: That’s something that I can’t just… forget…
Ed: Forget? Forget what? (Envy looks at him with his violet eyes, full of hate. Ed gets confused)
Envy: It is something that you can’t know… (Slowly grabs inside his pocket the red stone)
Ed: I don’t give a sh*t what’s happening to you… But I can’t let you to kill innocent people only for your own pleasure
Dante: You think so? (Ed looks at her) When you will listen to me? (Sighs) Innocent people? They are not innocents… (Looks at the roof with a lost look) Men… Women… Children… All they are devils… You know? (Closes her eyes and starts to gyrate) In all this years… Uncountable wars and dead have been realized… And all… (Stops and turns looking at him) For their stupidities… Foolish ideas of revive people…. You are different of them, Edward… Different and powerful… Too bad that you’re so fool…
Ed: !!! (Turns around but it’s too late, Envy it’s just behind him. Ed tries to hit him but his fist becomes weak, his legs don’t response, Envy uses that moment and tackles him; spikes the red stone in his thorax) Ahhhhhhh!!!!!
Al: Brother!!! (Goes with him but, suddenly, Gluttony attacks him; he immobilizes him in the floor) Ed!!!
Ed: Ahhhhh!!! (This time he has his eyes open. The stone, finally…finishes of engross into his thorax; the crimson glow disappears to let you see a finished Uroborous seal. Ed stares at Envy but looks like he is looking something more behind him. His eyes turn empty and he falls)
Al: Brother!!! (With the special tears) No… Please…. Brother!! Answer me!! Ed!!! Edward!!!
Envy: (Looking at him) He will not answer you… The seal has been complete… He will not remember you anymore hahahaha
Al: No! Brother!! Please… wake up….Wake up… (Downs his look)
Dante: Ends here.… That’s another proof of your “Equivalent Exchange”… Your fight for save him won’t worked… His strength to have a chance to live failed… You gave everything to save his life… Nevertheless, you didn’t received anything in exchange…. “To obtain, something of equal value must be lost” The world it’s not dominated for that silly rule. The persons are fool… And the few persons that are like him… Finish with a new form…That is the beginning of a new age…. The age of a new world… Full of powerful guys…
(Silence. Al stays quiet but at the same time, trembling. Suddenly, they hear panting and groans. All get confused. Envy, turns head slowly and sees somebody dragging on the floor. All give their attention to him, wondering what he is going to do… Now the figure drags with more difficulty and spread a hand trembling; he has his look down… Trying to grab a broken glass… He lifts his look… You can see a couple of golden, empty eyes that are changing to normal eyes, then to an empty and that way…)
Envy: !!! No… It can’t be….
Al: ….. Brother!! (With a happy-worried smile)
Dante: (With the special tears… Very…very… scared and surprised) …. Can’t be possible….. Even as a homunculus… He still has his human will…. (Ed continues dragging; he almost grabs the broken glass. Envy gets angry and tackles him of the neck of his shirt)
Envy: No!! You can’t stop it! You won’t stop it!! You will be a homunculus…. It’s just for a few moments…. Your human will, will disappear (His voice trembles) and soon…. I won’t see that smile ever again…. Those eyes….. You hear me!? (Moves him brusquely) YOU WON´T IDIOT!!!! (It seems like Ed isn’t listening to him and he is watching very carefully…. A wall behind them….. Envy understands but it’s too late… Ed claps his hands… All happens slowly….From the wall appears a beak that pass through them….Envy’s thorax and Ed’s chest. Al with the special tears and his mouth opened, scared…)
Dante: No….. (Envy lifts his look with blood in his mouth, trembling)
Envy: ….Wha-What…have you done?….. Imbecile….. (Ed lifts his look with blood in his mouth too, but his empty eyes, changes to his normal eyes that are with the special tears… A weak, but happy smile appears in his face. Envy shouts and breaks the beak. When he breaks it, Ed’s head falls bowed behind with his hair, softly and he has closed his eyes. He falls…for never stand up again… You can hear militaries voices)
Al: Brother!!! (Gluttony releases him; Al runs with his brother. The best as he can, he supports Ed on his back and runs to the exit, passing next to Dante. Their eyes cross for a few seconds and Al feels an evil smile. In the middle of the road, he finds the militaries and Izumi. Without explications, Al begs to be out of the place. While they’re running, Roy sees blood in the floor; he wonders from who is the blood… Feeling the worst thing….
Outside and far of the multitude, Al lays down sobbing Ed’s body)
Winry: Alphonse! (Runs to them with a smile on her face. While she is approaching, her smile disappears; Al crying, a creepy silence between the militaries, blood, Ed in the floor…) Wha-what happened? ……Al?.... What happened to Ed?
Al: (Still crying) Bro-brother…. (The militaries down their look. Izumi turns her back with her hands on her face with the special tears)
Winry: …… (Looks Ed) …..Ed?..... (Approaches to him. Opens her mouth completely scared with the special tears. Kneels and touches Ed’s chest; her hand drenches in blood and a few seconds later she understands… She puts both hands and her head on his stomach, crying) N-no…. No…. Ed…. Why!!??..... Why did you do it!?..... No!!!
Al: He did it… for…. So-somehow….protect us…
Winry: No!! He can’t protect us like this!!! (Hits him) Fool!! You’re a fool!!!
Izumi: Edward….. (Sobs)
Winry: ……Ngh…… EDWARD!!!!! (Her voice “gets stuck” in the air and the scene changes to a white background…
Her voice achieves arrive to the Gate….where a young man with golden eyes is watching it….)
Ed: ……Winry?....... Dammit…. I can’t die yet….. They need me…..but….I am dead….….. (Looks the door) …….What?...... (You can hear whispers)…….What do you mean with…?.......... So I can have another chance to live??...........I see…….. I need to pay a price……… What do you want?...........!!!!....I-I can’t…….…. No! Wait!!.......... Is that the price?.........Ghh…...…. Al….. Ghhh…….Alright……. I accept…… (The Gate opens it doors and the violet eyes open more; all gets white…A few seconds later…Ed is falling upside down. He opens his eyes slowly) What…?...... (His house appears and a few seconds later it disappears) ……… (Now, Winry’s house appears….He looks at it but then, it has gone. Pinako….Den……..Hohenheim and Trisha…..All them appears but slowly a few seconds later disappears…..) Mom….Dad……. (Now, the image of Winry at her 17 years smiles him but disappears too…) Winry…… Ghhh……
(He closes his eyes but then a strange light appears at the bottom… Then all shines and becomes darkness….
Slowly, open his eyes…. You can see a young woman with blonde hair crying over his stomach and another person who looks familiar that looks at him but lost in his thoughts…)
Ed: …… “What’s this?... Why they’re crying?....Am I…dead?....No…I don’t think so….” (Opens more his eyes and turns his head) ….Alphonse?....
Al: …..Brother? (Opens more his eyes surprised)…..Brother!!! (Smiles and the tears now are of happiness. All get surprised too and smiles. Ed incorporates himself and Al hugs him) You’re a fool!! I thought that I would be alone for the rest of my life! You scared us!!
Ed: Well…Heh…I’m ok now or not? n_ñ
Roy: Fullmetal, now you will do paperwork for two weeks! For like to be the main star of the madness…. (Looks at him angry, but smiling)
Izumi: Edward…. So, you did it after all don’t you? (Approaches to him and hugs him too) You’re always that strong? (Ed smiles, grateful) But… What about the seal? …and….your injury…
Ed: Huh?.... (Lifts a little his clothes; impressive… His thorax is clean, then he opens his jacket and they see that it’s drenched in blood…but his chest is clean) Looks…that I’m ok… (All sighs and smile)
Winry: Oh Ed!! I’m so glad that you’re ok!! (Hugs him. Ed blushes)
Ed: Well…....Thanks……..but…..who are you? (Silence. Winry opens his eyes and looks at him curious)
Winry: ….What? (Laughs) Ed? Are you serious? It’s me! Winry!
Ed: …….. (Stares at the floor)
Al: Brother?.... You don’t remember her? She is our childhood friend!
Ed: ……….
Winry: (Her smile disappears and puts the special tears) Edward?
Ed: ………I’m sorry (Looks at her)…..but…..I….don’t remember you….. Al…Whe-where we live?..... Where’s mom and dad? (All stares at him, surprised)
Al: Brother….. (Special tears)
Izumi: Don’t you remember your home? Your family? (Silence. Ed downs his looks confused and grabs his head with both hands)
Roy: …..Enough….. Fullmetal, you need to rest…. Al, take him home… Leave this disaster for the militaries…… (Turns around and walks to his companions. Riza follows him)
Al: ……Come Ed…. I’ll….show you the way to our home (Helps Ed to get up; Winry looks both brothers leave the place with tears in her eyes. Izumi put her hand on her shoulder; Winry looks at her, Izumi returns her look with a maternal smile. Both walk following the brothers……
While, someone through a camera observes them)
???: Maybe you ruined my plan kid….. But I always have an ace under my sleeve….. (In the shadows, a hand grabs a stone with a crimson glow and you can hear an evil laugh while the brothers walk away. The sun’s light illuminates the dark sky, appearing in the East…..)
