"Come back to me, Colonel."
As if everything were flying by in a car that was going too fast, the only thing heard was that very saying. There was a lot of blue and a lot of red, a lot of glowing lights that weren't regular lights, dashes of gold, and screams as primal and as sad as any ear could handle to withstand. There were lots of muffled noises and a strange clanking noise... What was going on?
**************
"NOOOOO! NOOO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" Edward screamed in the darkness of the warehouse.
Riza and Havoc never knew that little spitfire could be so strong but they never thought that he would be so crazy.
"Edward, you know you can't do this! Get your head together!" Riza growled, trying to keep a hold of his metal arm.
"My head is fine! Let me go! LET ME GO!"
"Brother, we can't do that! You stole a body and attempted to do the taboo again! You need help, Brother!" Alphonse wailed, wishing he could cry the tears that his soul could never release.
Seeing Edward looking like a crazed animal just broke him, if a soul could break. Edward was fighting tooth and nail against Riza and Havoc, pulling them practically back over to the Colonel's body.
Finally, with one tremendous roar, Edward yanked his arms from the two officers, making them fall to the ground from the momentum, and Edward clapped his hands, running to the circle he had made. He landed hard, hurting his flesh wrist, but it was on the circle and it glowed bright and shining. All anyone could do was watch as the transmutation circle enveloped the body in an eerie glow.
The shining eventually stopped and the warehouse went black again, a faint pulse of light coming from the transmutation circles used in the process. Edward waited with bated breath, wondering if it worked. Everyone else stared at either Edward or the Colonel, waiting for something. After a few moments, a choked cry erupted into the emptiness of the warehouse and Edward curled into a ball.
"No..." he said pitifully, the sorrow and pain echoing in the agony of the word.
Alphonse walked over to him and knelt down, touching his shoulder softly.
"Brother..."
"Come back... Come back to me, Colonel..."
"Ed-"
"COME BACK TO ME, COLONEL!" he screamed, although his tears overcame him and he finally wept like a child.
Riza and Havoc both looked just as heartbroken for him as he was of himself. They all knew that the Colonel couldn't come back but telling Edward that was like telling a child that they aren't old enough to do something when they are so insistent that they can...
Alphonse picked his brother up, cradling him like a child, as Edward trembled in his arms.
"I'm not alright, Al... I'm... I'm..."
"It's okay, Brother. I won't leave you and we'll work on this together, alright?"
He walked past everyone as Riza looked over at her former superior when her eyes widened and she grabbed Havoc.
"Tell me I'm seeing things." She hissed.
Havoc looked to where she was looking and his eyes widened too.
"Holy shit..."
Alphonse turned and almost dropped his brother.
"Brother... you... you did it..."
