The rain begins to fall as we are facing the homunculi Lust and Gluttony. I don't exactly know where we are situated in the story, but I don't mind anymore. The story has changed too much, and I think it's another one I am living right now. I block one of Lust's attacks and punch her face while my brothers are taking care of Gluttony. This one is really... Scary. I know it because I have read the books. If he fully uses his power... Ed and Al will be swallowed in his belly, as he's in fact a failed Gate of the Truth. And it's horrible. But I don't have the time to think about it, Lust already stabs me.

-Jane!! Ed yells.

I look at him and try to smile.

-It's alright brother, focus on your own fight! I can do it!

I give him a thumb up and take opportunity of the short distance between her and me to create a jail to imprison both of us. We are alone, in the darkness, and I smirk.

-How will you go out now?

-Ask it for yourself!

I become serious again.

-I prefer staying here than seeing you hurt my family.

She doesn't answer. A second later, the wall I created is broken and I am thrown away as something hits me.

-Lust, Father didn't tell you to kill her, right? He wants her alive, Envy says coming toward me.

Not him!!

-Jane Elric, Philosopher's stone, half-homunculus, all you want! You're coming with us again.

-You dream, monster!!

-You think you can call me a monster, even in my original form? he laughs, look at yourself!! Who's the real monster here?!

Speechless, I look down and he's about to take me, but my brother kicks him hard before he can do.

-You're not a monster, Jane! You're our sister, and we love you!!

I raise my head and stand up before grabbing the book Al throws me.

-Your real strength is not being immortal or the stone or anything! Your real power is in that book! You can do whatever you want with us! You can change the story like you want it to be!

I blink and look at the book. I never thought about the truth behind our strength. We are not strong because we are alchemists or immortals. We are strong because we can stand up again and again, go on, and change our destiny. And it's not just me. I run and jump on a roof to see everything better, opening the book to see what's going to happen.

-Ed, jump! Al, throw a huge rock on him!

-Huh? What?

-Just trust me lil bro!

He nods and does as I say. At the second the stone is going to hit Ed, Envy is in front of him, not noticing the missile, and takes it right in the face, sending him away. I raise my left fist and Ed gives me a thumb up, before his face decomposes. I feel something cold on my neck and stop breathing as I know it's Lust. But that, I predicted it too... I smirk and clap my hands to create... Nothing.

-Your alchemy doesn't work anymore, stone?

I grin and the building collapses, making us fall with a lot of smoke. Now, the next part of the plan.

Edward's POV (for the suspense!!)

My eyes widen as I see the building collapsing with my sister and Lust on it. Fortunately, Envy is also caught in the explosion and I don't see him anymore. A second after, I block an attack coming from behind and turn around to see... Envy?! But he just disappeared in the other side...

-Focus on your fight, pipsqueak!! another one yells behind me.

Okay, I swear I'm lost... Two Envy?! One of them must be my sister... And the other one the real homunculus... But how will I recognize the two?! I know. My sister wouldn't hurt me. So the one who doesn't fight is Jane. Unfortunately... The two attack exactly at the same time, with the same strength. My sister wouldn't do that for nothing... She has a plan. And I trust her.

Envy's POV (because I'm annoying!!)

Hell!! Two me!! The other one is Jane, but what the hell is she doing?! What does she have in mind?! But wait... I can take opportunity of this... I shape-shift and takes her appearance. Like that, the shrimp will take the other for the real me and we'll exchange our roles! I'm a genius.

-Ed! He's the real Envy! I yell pointing Jane.

Back to Jane's POV

Now!! It's the part I was waiting for!! I dodge my brothers kick and falls on Envy, pinning him on the floor. It's extremely odd to fight against myself, but well...

-Jane! my brother shouts as I punch the homunculus.

I smirk and takes a rope I created before, not far from me, and ties Envy's wrists and ankles before stabbing him with my hand changed into a blade. We take our normal appearance again and I sit on his belly, looking at my brother.

-Sorry, it was necessary, I smile.

-You're amazing!

He hugs me.

-What about Lust and Gluttony?

-I took care of them by taking Envy's appearance and making them go to their Father again.

-So we have a prisoner?

-Roles are inverted.

Envy tries to shape-shift to run away, but he fails, as the ropes are made with the stone to control its power. He glares at me but I laugh.

-What about being my prisoner now, eh? My little cute homunculus~

-Shut it!! I'll leave that place soon!!

-Aw, I don't think so~ but maybe should I make you understand by another way?

-And how?! You're weak, you can't do anything!!

-I really think that lizard form is cute, not you?~

His eyes widen and he sighs in resilience.

-Fine....

I grin triumphantly and manage to carry him in the hotel, with my brothers. Soon enough, Father will send his other homunculi, and there, our plan will be ready. We'll have them.

//yo! You missed me during this week? Because me yes!! I was impatient to show you the drawing of Jane that I've done, so here it is in the media!! I hope you like it!!
