Last time on Metal vs Storm

Ling was in direct line of fire. "No!" Edward and Envy yelled,

Edward moved to push Ling out of the way.

Envy tried grabbed Edward from the path of the blast.

"BROTHER!!!" Edward, Ling and Envy were gone, all three swallowed by Gluttony.

Present

    Toshiro eyes looked like they were glowing, both Alphonse and himself were still like statues, staring at the spot that Edward, Ling and Envy stood not moments ago.

   Toshiro looked towards Gluttony, as he walked slowly to the creature sucking on his finger, he ran his hands through his hair, ice pieces began breaking off around his ears and his fingers seemed to change. His form altered slightly, his ears were different, resembling a caracal with the edges covered with a blue-green fur, on his hands protruded claw-like nails and his eyes looked like a dragon's from legends.

    "Hey, Homunculus, what the h** did you just do?" He spoke so coldly it was like his very voice was ice, from his mouth one could see his teeth like fangs.

     "I-I don't know, I a-ate a human sacrifice." The da** creature actually had the decency  to look guilty.

     Toshiro open his mouth to say more but was rushed to it. "GIVE HIM BACK, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER!" Alphonse cried out, the large armore ran towards Gluttony and grabbed him, shaking him as he yelled.

Alphonse yelled at the creature sounding as close to crying as he could being an armor. Toshiro realised that part of the armor's right hand was missing, right up to the elbow.

"Alphonse." He called sofly when the boy began to lower down. "Alphonse!" He called louder, effectively gaining the boy's eyes on him.

"His gone Storm, my brother's gone." Alphonse stared at him, releasing the homunculus.

"Not forever Alphonse, do remember, I promised to protect you both and as such I will get him back." His determined eyes were near impossible to say 'no' to.

"Really?" The poor boy sounded so hopefull. Toshiro nodded, he took a step forward to get closer to the boy.... only to end up on one knee, his left giving out. Toshiro cursed, as his adrenaline wore off, the running coupled with the bullet injury, automail and damaged nerves did not add well together.

"Well life sucks." He growled. Alphonse ran to him and the ice alchemist rolled his eyes, he was getting hurt uselessly.

"Y-your leg, it's automail!" Alphonse gasped, now noticing. "That's what Hughes meant when you had a bad limp!"

"He told you that?!" Toshiro scowled "Seriously, that old man...."

"Storm.... your ears and hands....and you have a tail..." Alphonse's eyes seemed to widen in horror if possible. "You're a...."

"Chimera, yea I know." Toshiro smiled slightly. "Funny huh, a chimera in the military working alongside you."

"I just can't believe it, you know, Ed would freak out if he were ro see this!" Alphonse laughed lightly.

"You don't seemed very freaked out yourself."

"Trust me, I very much am."

Gluttony the homunculus decided to interrupt at that moment. "I'm hungryyyyyyy." Toshiro and Alphonse made a sound that almost sounded like a growl.
