The Mercury Alchemist

Chapter 13 - The Freezing Alchemist

'Now the actual story has begun..... I've waited 3 years for this to happen since my arrival.... But  what then...? I've alr3ady screwed up in my plans...'

-Jealousy-

As I sat ontop of the military building alone, I watched as red light shot up into the air, and then around almost all of Amestris. I sigh and look up at the night sky, "Why must life be so boring?"

-Me-

I ran as I saw lights shot up into the sky from various directions. I decided to split up from the Elric brothers, so the story would go on propely, to find a way to trap the Ice alchemist. I stood my ground on the spot when I spot an ice glacier takes its form nearby. Automatically, I used my alchemy to make my own glacier and made it ram into the other. 'Hopefully they weren't here to see that,' and what I meant was that I did the same Van Hohenheim when he transmutes. The sole of my feet was the one that did caused it. When I saw that my transmutation was successful, I smirk to myself and yell in succession, "Yes! Take that you stupid piece of shit!" Like as if the thing had feelings, my glacier ended up bursting into pieces and the other glacier continued to move. "Damn it... I forgot the thing moves because of the transmutation circle..." I cursed under my breathe.

My automail arm started to shake wildly and I knew that it was because of all the water in the atmosphere. "I have to hurry this up," I pulled out my sword for the first time in so long, "the boys still trying to catch Isaac."-'Our orders are to bring him in dead or alive. I have to bring him alive to ask where he got the philosopher's stone.' I took a few steps back to build up the momentum, then I sprinted into a run. When I got close enough I jumped upwards, at the same time transmute my arm to have spikes sticking out, and grabbed onto the edge of the ice with my automail hand. I held on for a while, at the same time the glacier started to move, faster than before. I climbed up when suddenly, a sword was pointing right at my face. "Get up you scumbag," a familiar voice orders, impatiently waiting for me to follow the order.

Right when I had fully gotten up on my feet the blade was shoved into my right shoulder without hesitation. I watch in shock as the person infront of me draws closer to my face, Jealousy. "Gaaahh!!!!!!!!" my screams filled the air as I tried to pull away from the blade. Blood was spilt on the ice ground below me, earning a devilish smile from the homunculus infront of me. "Don't worry... this only hurt a little," but that just made me more impulsive in my actions. I grab onto the blade with my real hand and deconstruct it with me alchemy, making it shatter into pieces, except most of it was still imbedded into my flesh. Jealousy just smiled at this action saying, "You're better off dead. I was hoping you'd use your water alchemy." This caused me to smirk back at the girl, which made Jealousy finally stop smiling and give me a confused look.

"I've improve alot since our last meeting Jealousy. So don't think I didn't learn any tricks of my own!" I look down at her feet to show what I ment. Jealousy's eyes went wide and she immediatley followed my gaze, her legs were slowly being engulf by red ice with little sparks coming out as it etched over bit by bit. That red ice was my blood; the blood that Jealousy had spilt. "Alchemy is easy when you understand the bases of reconstruction and deconstruction," I explain as I spit out some blood to the side. "Water is one of the most easiest substance to use in alchemy. The principles of freezing and boiling are the two main points of water, so since blood has almost the same principle that means I can use it the same was as water!" "Why not use the ice we're standing on? Isn't it also something you can use?" Jealousy questions.

I nod but I continued to explain, "All this is can't be used, because it's still being used for a transmutation which is still activated. You can use alchemy so you should understand. We can't use materials while a transmutation is still active." I watch as Jealousy stares at me with a dumbstruck look, but then it changes back to her usual twisted smile. "Hahahahaha! You've gotten a whole lot better since that time!" she laughs, reminding me of my past self. A flash back of how I used to be flashes into my mind for a second until the present time came back to my eyes. I gripped onto my shoulder, trying my best not to lose anymore blood. 'If I lose anymore blood I'll end up passing out from too much blood loss,' I thought worriedly. Jealousy breaks out of her bonds, like as if they were nothing, and the worst part was she didn't even break a sweat!
