Come on God… I-I have you my leg and you took it, Give me his soul… give it back, GIVE IT BACK!

"COME ON AL! " Edward’s hand slammed onto the metal armor, Why wasn’t it moving? Why wasn’t it moving!? H-He drew the blood seal, He lost an arm and a leg… what else did he need to g—

"B…brother? "

Edward’s golden hues widening feeling himself choke on the air he panted, his heart just skipped a beat when the suit of armor began to move, pushing itself up headless..

----

A great deal of relief washed over Mustang, as he realized that both of them were somewhat alive; although they seemed to be dancing on the border of death. The needed help NOW

"Well, would you look at that. Never occurred to me that you can take a soul and give it a new host! Looks like I have some more fun with Al-"

"NO!" snarled Mustang, reaching the end of his limit

Despite how much in pain he was-being pinned down unceremoniously-, or how trapped his limps really were, he managed to find the willpower and strength to heave himself up and pull his arm from underneath him

"You will never touch those two again, as long as I am breathing!" he seethed, feeling absolute fury that not even he knew was capable of

"Then I guess we will have to change that, won't we! You're out of your league, and I think you're done!" announced Grausum, raising a hand that displayed his fingers' ready to snap

Before he could complete the deed, the older man heard a loud gunshut and he felt a searing pain explode from his raised hand. It took a moment for him to registered that a bullet had gone through his hand, so that one part of him was completely disabled. For once, he felt honest surprise at the event and his head turned to lock onto who had fired the shot. He was even more surprised to a blonde woman not too far away; holding a rifle in her hand and looking at him with only the slightest indication of anger and disgust. The distraction gave Roy the opportunity to throw his opponent off his back and create enough distance between them, so that Roy could devise a new stratedy.

It was then, When Roy grabbed the very edge of the circle that a sudden flash filled the room along with a blood-curdling scream that was enough to make everyone freeze, the feral blonde was back.

He was sprawled within the center in his own blood as he clutched what was left of his left leg, the blood spurting from the severed arteries and pooling around him, the pain was just indescribable, but as much as it was killing him to a point pf passing out, He had to do what he paid for.

Ed quickly used his good functioning arm to drag himself toward a row of armor, collection of them but all had fallen in the duration of the transmutation and reached out, As if his hand was being controlled, his blood-soaked finger quickly splattered a circle onto the metal body bounding it on. “Al…C-come back to me, Please…."

---

"Edward!" cried out Mustang, using the remaining bits of his adrenaline to heave himself over the edge and start his way towards the injured teen

He wasn't given the chance to reach is goal when another heavy body collided into his own, and both masses tumbled on the ground until Mustang was pinned firmly underneath; one arm trapped under his own body and the other being held bacl

"Oh, I don't think so Roy!" panted Grausum, as he securely held his prey down "Edward can't be given any help with his test, so maybe you and I should watch him together"

At the last word, Mustang felt the mans' remaining hand grab the back of his hair by the hair, and pull his face up so that he was unable to turn away from the pitiful scene; in which he was rendered defenseless

"You...sick...fuck" seethed Mustang, as he was too far away to be of any assistance and too immobile to respond properly to anything that was happening. For now, all he could do was place his trust in faith in Edward; in which he had complete confidence that he would make the right choice, and have the energy and knowledge to pull through

Go Edward! Bring yourselves both back!

A sudden snicker caused a chill to run up Edward’s spine making his head snap back and gasp, his golden hues widening at the sillhouette who sat just a few feet away from him, He was.. nothing but a white form with shade shade looming all around him that was the very thing revealing his presence but a feature did stand out, it was that smug grin on it’s face…

"Hey, rather rude to touch things without asking. "

Edward’s lifted his hands and turned himself to face him, the complete fear and shock was written all over his face and the evidence was the sweating bullets down his face. “Heh, Dear me haven’t I seen that look a lot. " It said lifting a hand to rub the back of his non-existing head, His heart was pounding against his rib-cage and what made it worse was… the very noise was surround sound, All over the place. “My goodness, your heartbeat sure is strange, almost.. wild.

Edward flinched, taking a step back which only made the thing’s grin grow much wider. “Well, Aren’t you going to speak? "

"…"

"What do you have to say for yourself fool? "

"…Al…"

"Hm? "

"MY BROTHER! " Edward suddenly burst out to the creature. “G-Give me back my brother! L-Listen, I-I don’t know anything about this fucking Alchemy, in fact I didn’t even know what that circle was even for b-but Al.. He was used in the transmutation and I.. I.. "

"Am trying to save him? "

Edward’s golden irises shrunk. "…T-that’s right but how did you— "

"I am the world, I am the universe, the truth..maybe all?…I may also be what you life forms call god but— " He lifted it’s blank hand pointing it toward the feral blonde. "— I’m also you. "

"M-me? "

"Yes, I know everything about you Edward Elric. Every tiny detail from the second you were conceived until now and My, my what an interesting story you have…"

Edward’s eyes narrowed letting his teeth show. “Shut up! "

"Now now, No need for that, I wouldn’t want to— Oh wait, Unless that’s what your also willing to sacrifice. "

"Sacrifice? "

"That’s right, you came here for a reason. "

"I told you! My brother! Give me back my brother! " Edward stomped over the white form kneeling down to him. “I..I don’t anything about this alchemy crap but all I do know is it’s.. ‘Equivalent Exchange’, I-I’ll give you anything you want! Take anything else, An arm, My legs… m-my heart, Just give him back to me… It’s the soul reason I’m here. "

"…" Truth knew it of course, He was the blonde in front of him and knew he wasn’t going to get out of this easily, even if he offered him something it wouldn’t be enough for everything.

But…

"It won’t be enough, A Mere limb can’t be enough for a whole body and soul to come back. "

"W…What? NO! There has to be something! A-Anything! " He cried down to the figure. “He’s all that I have left! I barely knew him most of my life! I-I’ll give you anything f-for him.." He stopped himself to think, If he simply couldn’t afford everything… what if…

"His Soul. " He suddenly looked back up. “I-I’ll give you anything for his soul, I-I can still save him can’t I? The soul is in everything! It doesn’t need to sleep, be fed o-or be felt…it’s something attached into us. I can get it… can’t I? " "

"…"

A sudden crack and creak could be heard behind the Elric making him look back..

The gate was opening? Did that m..

Edward felt his himself be constricted by a serpent of fear causing his chest to tighten and screaming become futile as the millions of tendrils and hands came shooting out, Grabbing and coiling around any possible limb and piece of clothing to yank him within the gate..

"Oh hush, you’re just paying the toll…"

Edward’s hands gripped at the gate’s stone edges feeling the tears run down his cheeks before the gate slammed shut….him and the darkness being locked inside….

-----

The room was filled with several explosions and bursts of flame as Mustang tried to make a mark on his new target; who was having a fun time dodging the assualts.

"Tell me this: why him!" bellowed Mustang, panting from the energy he spent "Out of all of the minds to torture, why did you have to chose him!"

"The real question is: why not? Everyone is else is too predictable and there is no fun in that. Oh no, Edward most certainly gave different results that even exceeded past my expectations. I did it, because I COULD!" he responded, snapping his fingers.

The counter attack happened too quickly for Mustang to register until after hit happened. The energy of the alchemy rippled throughout the ground until in encircled the spot around where Mustang stood. As if it were as delicate as a cookie, it immediately crumbled and began to give away to the pressure. Mustang lost his balance completely and sought to grab onto anything that would prevent an unfortunate fall. He grabbed the edge of the circle and tried to do his best to hang on

Everything was so… light, he felt no force, no pulls… no pain.

He mustered the courage to open his eyes, the fear being squeezed like an orange as he was met with… what? Oblivion even, He opened his eyes wider and used his arm to pushed himself up, his head whipping around, What… had happened? Where was he!? Did his plan work? if it did, Where was Roy? Where was Grausum? Where was Al—

He train of thought crashed when his golden hues finally caught something… A.. A huge metal slab, it looked a lot like a gate but what were all these markings? He forcefully got to his feet and limped himself over with what energy he had left, his hand reached out pressing his palm against the stone…

---

Roy was still trying to accept the reality of these events while trying to control the anger, distress, and panic that was filling inside his chest.

Human transmutation had just been performed here; and it seemed that Edward (and possibly Alphonse) had been caught in it. What was really bothering him was the lack of understanding involved; in terms of what had been exchanged, created, and reconstructed as a result of the transmutation. He then briefly remembered the horrid best that he had briefly seem, and wondered if that animal had anything to do with it and if so; in what way?

"Well that become more interesting than I had expected" came a voice from his left. He cast his dark eyes upward and made contact with an older looking man wearing a lab coat. Had he seem him before

" I wasn't expecting the Flame Alchemist to make an appearance"

"Grausum?" asked Mustang out loud, recognizing the senior state Alchemist "We thought you were working in the east"

"I decided to take my work else where, especially since I was hardly getting the funds and support for my own research. It worked out anyway, because I finally made the chimera that I had been-"

"That was yours?" he snarled and something else clicked in his mind "Wait, the whole year that Edward has been gone, he was with.."

"Thats right, be's been under my service and care for the whole year"

"Care?!" bellowed Mustang "You shattered his mind and soul to near oblivion! You damn bastard! What did you do with him and Alphonse!"

"Actually, that went past my own intentions and control" he explained, every so calmly and lazily "I borrowed Alphonse in order to complete the transmutation, since I needed a soul and orgasm that had advanced thought and knowledge. Edward got himself caught in the cross fire, and now he has transmuted all of them"

The quivering hand demonstrated the fear and fury that Mustang was experiencing; but it mostly had to do with the dread of the events that had just happened. He was positive that Edward was determined to bring his brother back and un-splinter the monster that was created as a result. It was an impossible act! He couldn't imagine were Alphonse's body would be as a result of only needing his soul borrowed to bring the disgusting chimera to life; and he wondered if Edward understood that.

Furthermore, did Edward understand that he needed to give something of himself in exchange for his brother? For a full soul and body to be retrieved, Edward needed another soul and body to offer first; basically himself! Even if he did manage to use the chimera entirely to get his brother and his soul back in order, the transmutation itself would require Edward to pay a toll; just a result of being the one to activate the transmutation. It could be just about anything; a limb, organ, body function or, god forbid, his soul himself. It increased the probability of death, which tore Mustang to pieces

" DAMN YOU!" he cried in pure hatred, releasing a large burst of flames directly at the doctor

Despite his old age and lack of training, the doctor dodged the assault with complete ease and hardly flinched at the suggested battle. He was just a strong and was delighted at the challenge.

It all happened in slow motion as the monster’s body leapt itself within the circle joining the feral blonde, it’s huge claws just inches from his body with crushing force, with a huge cry he lifted his hand summoning whatever power he could muster from his very soul and slammed it in within the very center allowing his blood to ooze in adding more to it…

The circle glowed in activation…

From amongst the bright flashes of light, Grausum caught glimpse of what was happening.

Yet he didn't really feel anything. He accomplished what he had set out to do and it involved bringing further misery and trauma to his victim. He knew that from this point forward, things would start to fall downhill for him and all of the work that he had developed on; but he knew that this would happen sooner or later.

Mustang had enough. He felt the familiar sensation of a transmutation taking place; since the constructing energy would often pulse and gather the attention of those who held the same ability, but he also detected the negative energy from within. Feeling like he was running out of time, he stepped backwards while slipping on his glove

"Get back!" he bellowed, raising his right hand, preparing to snap

Recognizing the gesture, his comrades immediately flew away from the door and ducked their heads. Mustang could have taken the time to draw a circle and rearrange the metal material that hindered their entrance; but there was no time for that. As a desperate act, he made a whip-like motion and snapped his fingers, which caused a spark of hot flame to errupt from the air, and bend itself towards the entire entrance. He knew better than to aim only for the door, so he manipulated his flames to attack the entire wall, which caused the walls to explode and crumble in effect.

The second he heard the last of the rubble collapse, he ran forward to come to Edward's aid; but felt his stomach drop at the sight of what was happening

"Edward!" he yelled, as he sprinted towards the activated transmutation circle. Inside was Ed along with some god-knows-what monster and were already in the process of being dissolved. He realized that he arrived too late when both subjects disappeared and he was left to run into an empty and dead circle.

I'M STILL ALIVE!

I've just been twice as busy with work and also on vacation XD I'm sorry for being absent!

The loud shouts caught its attention once more, and its head swiveled to lock on its running target. It was gaining strength and full consciousness quickly. Learning from its mistake it simply used its wings to glide across the ground and drop in front of Edward. Before further action could be done, it whipped its tail at him; knocking him to the side with great force.

Edward skidded to a halt when the chimera’s body slammed to the ground creating deep pits and crack in the concrete floor under it’s huge body weight, before he could make a move the tail slammed into him sending him across the floor in a coughing and spluttering heap, He rolled himself onto his front quickly regaining himself as the blood dropped down his chin.

He looked down to the floor, just below his hand was…the very edge of the circle, He looked over his shoulder and quickly attempted to push himself up but hissed feeling a shoot pain go up his left leg, dammit!

He groaned as he began to literally pull himself using his one arm and good leg more into the circle, once he was in the center he’ll have to active it and quick, heaving his bloodied body he looked over his shoulder at the creature…was it following him?

---

As soon as it had knocked its prey unto the floor, it swiveled its head to relocate it. WHen the dust and debris had settled, the monster was able to see Edward dragging himself forward, practically towards him. Wasting no time, it pursued him once more until it crashed right in front of him; rearing on its back legs to crush is miserable body.

Edward threw himself out of the way quickly allowing the huge creature to slam into the wall which instantly shattered under the force, Ed found it much harder to move now that his right arm had literally been torn off and was loosing blood at an alarming rate.

In this state, he didn’t have a chance of beating this monster although Ed still had little hope of winning, every creature had a weakness right? With the mixture of animal carcasses it would be impossible to pin-point the main artery to the heart, he had to find a way to destroy it but what!?

He whipped his head in the direction of the transmutation circle on the ground, Could he— No, it was a human transmutation circle, if he attempted something then he would destroy the thing but may loose Al fully in the process and—

Hang on.

The creature had Alphonse’s soul, it was basically bound to a bunch of dead animal parts, if he was able to transmute that and perhaps offer something of himself in return, perhaps he could get Alphonse’s body and soul back!? It was a theory but Ed didn’t think he had a choice, It was now or never.

He could die and Alphonse will still be lost in the darkness…

"OVER HERE YOU BASTARD! " Edward roared iver to the creature getting to his feet and sprinting away, luring it.

"Y-you bastard! " Edward screamed as he reached over quickly tying the limbless sleeve into a tight knot and forcing himself to his feet, He couldn’t fight in this state.

With Mustang locked out and Al…Al gone, he had to do something, He had to do something to bring Alphonse back, he said his soul was bound within that creature but it wasn’t him. It was nothing but a beast tainting his poor soul.

If his soul was still here, that meant he wasn’t gone, He had a chance.

The feral Elric didn’t have much know;edge on Alchemy but he knew it was the soul’s power which is what makes the energy to use alchemy itself, If he could defeat this thing.

He might be able to retrieve his soul! The alchemic power merely bound the soul into this puppet body, using it. If he was able to kiss it then he might be able to retrieve it through another transmutation but that would mean giving another sacrifice…

Ah, He’ll think about what he’d give after he beat this thing. Edward forced himself to his feet..

"This should be interesting" purred Grausum, snapping his fingers

He directed his alchemic energy to give the chimera a "shove" which was done in the same way a whip would. It snapped at the back of the monster, which caused it to roar once more and charge itself at Edward

It was a cold monster. It had yet to develop any emotion or personality, but considering that it was created from a dark form of alchemy, it was an animal that was already filled with anger and bloodlust. Its eyes, that appeared to be hollow and sightless, locked itself onto the only living thing that it saw, and charged for it. It reared up on its legs and attempted to crush the small human before it; knocking its large tail into the wall, which caused parts of it to crumble and collapse.

"A…Aa…" He rasped trying to speak through his agony, he glared his narrowe dvision up at the man. “WHERE. IS. AL? " He hissed starting to push himself up, his throbbing ears couldn’t pick up any sign of his brothers, no moans or groans..

W..Where was he? Don’t tell me..

"AL! "

---

"Who knows" responded the doctor "Equivalent exchange demands that I need to give something to make this work. I needed a soul so I thought your brother would make do perfectly. His body could be anywhere, but its the energy of his soul that is being used to power the chimera"

"You were very much useful Edward for the time that I had you, but you can still be helpful one more time. Your task is now to defeat my creation" he said, grinning darkly. He was very much confident that his beast would be near invincible and powerful; too much for Ed to handle

Right on cue, the monster gave a loud roar that echoed throughout the entire vicinity. Mustang and his men were nearby when they heard the ear deafening noise.

"Move!" he demanded, rushing towards the door that contained the most noise. They tried to get it to open but much to his dismay it was locked securely shut

"Break it down" he ordered, and assisted in trying to get through the metal barrier

W…where?

It was almost like a flash in his eyes, the image of an oblivion of ivory that stretched as fat as the eye could see and a tall stone gate, engraved with various patterns and ancient scrawl, what the hell..?

The next thing Ed could remember was the horrible chilling feeling, like ice cold air being blew onto his skin as various little hands suddenly wrapped themselves around him, the hands grabbing and pulling on whatever piece of flesh and limb they could get their hands on, all of them pulling him toward the gate, the air getting choked in his throat as their little pulls soon turned into brutal thrashes, each tug adding more and more strength sending a horrible and excruciating sensation all through his nerves, He began to scream as he could literally start to feel it…

On left leg most of all, he could feel it…the bone being pulled from his socket with a disturbing pop, the muscles beginning to tear like sugar paper from the veins and arteries that were making them hold on by their red and blue threads, He could literally feel it.

His flesh being torn off of him, He was on fire. It hurt. It hurt so much.

He could of sworn he could taste blood from how much he’d been screaming, Now he was laying on a cold stone floor, he could feel hos body become wet as a pool of blood grew around his form as if making his own red bubble.

The pain was indescribable, he couldn’t even think of a word to describe it, all he knew was. His limbs were gone, his left leg.

---

"Yes" breathed the doctor, still recovering from the pulsing energy that had been coursing through him before.

The beast itself was also trying to gain its wits; as it worked hard to stand and function the nearly designed limbs. It staggered around, knocking into random junk, suits of armor, trash, equipment, boxes and shelves that were inside the room. The room was primarily a storage unit, although he used it because it was the largest space in the vicinity that permitted him to create such a large array.

"Its perfect" he grinned "Finally, after all of that work! Such a shame, that you got caught in the crossfire" he said, looking at Edward bellow in agony from the loss of his limb. He wasn't exactly sure why he had inflicted injurt, since he didn't perform the transmutation, but he didn't really care. He himself had been spared from the event due to the philosophers stone that he had stored in his coat; it paid the toll for him

Everything swirled and spun before him making his whole brain go into a whirl unable to fully apprehend what was happening, the sudden feel of energy and aura was pushing into his senses to a point of his head pounding, W-What was happening!?

Alphonse…

Piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle being take apart was being ripped from his young body being absorbed within the center of the hellish circle, everything sparked and bolted in process, as if registering what had been offered.. "AL! " With all his strengths, despite the claws puncturing through the skin and into his muscles he forced himself up throwing the beastly creatures off of his form and dashed forward, carelessly running within the circle reaching out for his little brother. "ALPHONSE! "

---

It was unlike anything that he had experienced before. Alphonse had attempted several transmutations before being involved in this, so he was familiar with the energy pulsing through his body as the components gathered together to rearrange itself to something completely new.

But this was different. It felt wrong

The energy took a negative turn and he felt a sense of corruption as the molecules deconstructed themselves and began to reconstruct. It was actually quite mesmerizing at first, until he felt something pinch into his arm and eat away at his flesh. It didn't hurt, it was nothing like getting bitten by the chimera, but he could still feel himself dissolved. Once he realized what exactly was happened, he cried out in terror and horror.

"ALPHONSE!" he finally managed to hear Ed scream, and he barely caught sight of his brother extending his arms towards him

"BROTHER!" he yelled back, extending his only free arm towards his kin, but he was practically completely eaten away by then. Not wanting to give up quite yet, he strained himself to get rescued, but it was all in vain as he watched the black ropes take away the last of his finger. It was the last thing he saw before he found himself standing in a white place, and with a large gate in front of him.

The transmutation ended with a large rippling wave; indicating the the creation had been completely. As soon as the dust, energy, and debris had settled, the doctor stood up to look at what he had made. Through the dusty air, he made out a large shape; the size of an elephant although it resembled a big cat and wolf. Better yet, he watched as it shakily got to its feet and come to life.

Edward immediately began to resist as the chimeras bit and weighed him down onto the floor, he squirmed beneath the huge chimera. “H-hey! Get off of me! " He hissed, his golden eyes flitting up to the man. “What are you doing!? "

"You don't think I can recognize it when you have had a change of heart, Edward?" he asked, raising an amused eyebrow "Seems like those soldiers managed to talk you into thinking that your family care about you. Regardless of what you believe, I think you should see my next experiment. Are you familiar with human transmutation?"

Alphonse's eyes widened at the question, feeling the same panic rise up at the suggestive inquiry.

"Thats illegal! Alchemists are forbidden from doing it!" he blurted out, forgetting about his brave front

"Thats only because no one has been able to do it right, yet. Like any transmutation, you still have to offer something of equivalent value and pay the toll. Thats where you come in, Alphonse. I'd be happy to offer myself to the transmutation, but then I wouldn't see my own creation. Instead, I think you will make do just fine"

Without further hesistation, he bent down and pressed his palms to the edge of the circle; thus activating the array and the contents inside.

Despite his long experience with alchemy, he had never seen thing like this one. The energy was twice as strong, and it seemed to come from a source that not even he could pinpoint. The air began to whirl around those in the room, casting a faint purple glow in the process. This went on for a bit until whisps of black strands reached from the outside of the circle and began to "eat" away at the contents of the circle, including Alphonse. The transmutation was nearly over

Edward’s eyes widened at the whole scene before him, w..what the hell was this!? There was a horrible rancid odor coming from the dear animal parts being used and many other ingredients that he couldn’t pin-point, it was just disgusting, what was Alphonse doing in the very middle of this circle!? The large circle was scribbled out on the floor and many of the animal carcasses were on a certain symbol and spots on the circle. He wasn’t stupid, he knew some about Alchemy.

"What…what’s going on? " He asked almost timidly as Grausum added some more ingredients to his circle, although he was happy t see Alphonse alive right now, he feared he may not be for long.

---

"Just my greatest experiment thats all" he shrugged "And to be sure that nothing goes wrong..." he snapped his fingers

In an instant, a couple of his chimeras had leapt forward and with practiced ease, they grabbed Edward and pinned him to the floor of the room

"Stop!" shouted Alphonse, although it was pointless

Edward sped himself down the hallways using his memory and scents to navigate his way to the very room that was occupied, he had to bed close, for some reason a strange aura was pounding into his own, it’s power was forceful..

What the hell was that man doing!?

Cutting around the corner Edward came to a halt outside a door, he prayed he would be in this once since it was his main research office, he straightened himself up and slowly opened the door…

---

Alchemy was a difficult skill. Aside from understand the components and elements that composed of the various materials, he had to know how to manipulate those variables to his liking. It was easier with somethings, such as solid materials, liquid, and other items that already existing naturally.

But biological alchemy was completely different. It involved understand anatomy and how to control it so that the body would function afterwards. What he was aiming for was to complete a creature that didn't exist, so that made it all the more difficult for him. However, he was a very accomplished alchemist and studied his material with careful care; he felt confident with his theory that he was about to put to the test.

He wasn't even bothered by the creak of the door

"Come in Edward, there is no point lingering around the door. You're just in time for the show" he called lazily

Alphonse's head snapped up. He felt a combination of distress and relief at the fact that Edward was here. It meant that he had been found, which lead to the possibility of him being rescued. However, he didn't dare forget that his older brother had been molded to become practically a stranger, so he wasn't entirely sure if he would get any help at all. Still, he had some hope to cling onto, and right now it was better than feeling useless

Edward stopped in his tracks, his eyes lowering to the floor as the sound waves given by the chimera’s sounds hit his ears, he looked behind. “Stop, Stop. " He lifted a hand to signal the small team to stop.

"Listen, I’m going to go on ahead all right? You guys stay here, if Grausum sees me then it won’t cause much of a stir, I’ll call you guys if I need you all right? " He could almost feel the time slip away.

---

Mustang felt a great deal of doubt at that request. Had had made a personal vow to not let Edward out of his sight until this whole thing was over. Not only did he feel some doubt in the stability of his mental condition, but things were incredibly dangerous so he wasn't sure if it was a safe idea to just let him move forward on his own.

However, he had a good point. Edward already had permitted access to his place, so it would be best to proceed forward when he had a greater chance of not drawing attention. It was a good idea, so Mustang knew that he had to put his faith in Edward and let him go ahead.

"Allright" he nodded " We'll be ready when you need us" he said, hoping that Edward would understand that he had to call for help if he needed to; now was not time for stubborn pride or foolish sacrifices

---

Grausum stepped to the edge of the circle, which he could barely see by how dim the lights were. He did that on purpose, with the intention of giving himself the advantage and for being a little theatrical himself.

It was so quiet, why was it so quiet?

Edward’s golden orbs flitted around trying to pick up any sound but the only sound that echoed into his eardrums was the the chorus of footsteps of the group. This was too weird.

He was almost getting tempted to call out but that would just be suicide.

---

He was ready.

After completing his transmutation circle, he had brought forward the last of his ingredients which included Alphonse, who was bound the ground. He only looked at the doctor with completely defiance; feeling determined to hid the fear that gnawed at his insides.

One of his chimeras released another growl, which hinted that someone was coming and were getting really close. Still, they stuck to their ordered and only sat near the entrance of the room; being not permitted to stay out in the hall like they normally would.

"Ready Al? Don't look at me like that, you should be excited to be a part of something this monumental"

"Go to hell" spat Alphonse
