Metal Vs Storm

Red Lightning

They were met with chaos. The sounds of gunshots and yells filled the area. Around them, in the ruins of the collapsed tunnels, dust scattered from the light wind. It was a bit disorienting at first, the sound of mad chuckling reached them.

There, Father stood in the middle of the crater, arms outstretched and grinning like he owned the world. The trio, Riza, Edward and Toshiro, took the chance to scope out their surroundings, Mustang merely listening. Around them, people began to show up, thankfully people on their side.

Blades raised, Olivier Armstrong stood on top of the ruins, Blackstone with his guns and mismatched eyes shining, stood next to her. Behind them, was their team, led by…

“Havoc?” Riza whispered in slight shock.
“What?” Mustang questioned beside her, unsure of he heard her right.
“Missed me?” Havoc winked and did his signature finger guns at them, cigarette in his mouth. Edward, Riza ad Mustang grinned in amazement but Toshiro and Havoc just shared a knowing smile. More soldiers started showing up, surrounding Father who merely smiled at them as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a transmuted rock came flying, hitting Father on impact. A surprising voice rang out. “I won’t let you kill any more humans!” It was none other than Hohenhiem, behind him stood Alphonse, Mei the princess and Alex Armstrong. Father lost the grin on his face, a cold look adopted his features as he turned around and stared at the man who once, long ago, created him.

“Why not, these pitiful humans serve no purpose other than to bring destruction to themselves and others, seeking out the one thing they can never have, immortality, a way to create eternal life.” A spark of red lightning flashed around Father, and his body began to shift, everyone tensed, expecting a fight, instead, Father’s body began to take a younger appearance, the same look Hohenhiem once supported many decades ago, when he was must younger. “After all, that is what I was created for, isn’t it? After all, you of all people should know that best, you created me.

“No, I do know, but all you were created for was to make philosopher stone, and from that stone, a homunculus is created, the same creature you are and the cycle ends, that is why humans will more important, you thing you are creating new life with the philosopher stone but all you’ll ever be is a waste of research and a dead end.”

“Oh, that’s what you think of me?” Father shifted his head like an innocent child being though a lesson by his father. “Well then, to prove you wrong, shall I create some humans for you?” at that statement, everyone gave a horrified look.

Red lightning filled the area once again, the dust and sand seemed to encompass the lightning before it blew outward. ‘Eternal liiiiiife….. we haaaavee suuuceeeeeded…..’ a voice droned and as one, soldiers and alchemist took a step back. Before them stood humans, actual humans, all with gold hair and eyes, the people of Xerxes.

“No…” Toshiro could hear the soldiers mutter under their breath.
“Do you still think little of me Hohemhiem?” Father question with a smug look. “Enjoy it while it lasts.” With the voice that promised pain, everyone turned their attention back to the homunculus to late.

A bright, blinding light emanated from his hand, everyone scrambled to the ground, but it was much too late. The ball of energy exploded...
