No One's POV

The hospital was shown.

"You're an idiot!" Mustang said before Riza was shown with her eyes shut.

Mustang was shown to be sitting in a hospital bed, reprimanding Hawkeye. "It's bad enough you believed her, but then you gave up?"

"Please forgive me, Colonel." Riza said, not opening her eyes.

"You've got to stay strong. Don't you ever give up on living! I need to know you can keep your cool no matter what happens." Mustang said.

Riza opened her eyes. "Sir."

"I'm gonna continue to rely on you to watch my back. Don't let me down." Mustang said as Riza closed her eyes once more.

"You ought to think about taking your own advice, Colonel." Havoc said, causing Riza to open her eyes once more. Havoc was shown to be lying on a bed next to Mustang.

"Since you were the one who abandoned his post." Havoc said.

Mustang shot up into a sitting position. "Hey, shut up, Havoc!" He yelled angrily before his sudden movements caused his body extreme pain.

Mustang grabbed at his side, grimacing. "And what the hell?" He said as his face was zoomed in on to show his narrowed black eyes. "Why are we even in the same room?"

Mustang's eyes slid to the other side. "At my rank, I should have my own room with a hot nurse."

"Try to understand, sir. It's easier to guard the two of you in the same place." Riza said.

Mustang raised a finger. "Which reminds me. Why haven't they tried to kill us yet?"

Gears appeared on the screen as Envy said, "What's wrong with you?" The scene moved down to show Envy and Bradley standing on some stairs. Envy was glaring at Wrath's back. "How could you let that bastard go after what he did?" He threw his arm to the side angrily.

You should've yanked his spine out of his mouth." Envy said.

The scene changed to show them from behind, which showed Gluttony sitting in the darkness higher up on the stairs.

"Lust." Gluttony sobbed. "He killed Lust."

"It's not too late to kill him so get to it." Envy shouted.

"We can use Mustang." Bradley said. "He's worthless if we kill him however."

"Use him." Envy echoed. The scene started to move up. "Hold on, you mean the portal?"

Bradley chuckled. "You don't need to worry about it. And forget Mustang." The scene changed to Hohenheim standing in an environment surrounded by towering rocks. "Father wants me to handle him."

The screen moved around to get closer to Hohenheim. He turned his head to the screen, staring into it for a moment before the opening song suddenly began.

Al appeared on the screen. "What if I started to rot?"

Ed, Aaliyah, and Winry were shown to be looking at him. "Huh?" We all said.
