Metal Vs Storm

Attack!!!

Greed sneered at the thought of facing the man that created him, don’t get him wrong, he wanted him dead as much as the next man, the problem was how to go about it, the man was near unkillable. “Greed, do you have any idea what’s going on?” Hankle asked him, Claude and Ling’s bodyguard, what’s-her-name, walking beside him.

A vein popped on Greed’s head. “What’s going on, what’s going on, what’s going on.” He muttered as he sped up his walking to a near sprint. “I’ll tell you, nothing much, JUST THE FATHER OF THE HUMONCULUS GOING BESERK OUT THERE!” the two chimeras and the bodyguard just stared at him. “Don’t look at me like that, I’m stressed okay, we’re here and the fight is nearly on the other side to this d*** city!”

Mei slowly opened her eyes, dust assaulted her lungs and she coughed harshly. How was she still alive? She wondered. The metal creaking above her answered her question. “Alphonse!” Mei cried out, only to cringe in pain as her ribs burned in pain. Above her was Alphonse, the front of his armour destroyed, his blood seal left exposed to the open air.

“I’m okay Mei, are you?” a groaning came from the metal at it shifted.

“How can you ask that question when you’re the one that just shielded me from the blast!” Mei cried out, finally taking in the destruction around her. Soldiers lay unmoving on the ground, she couldn’t see Father or any of the commanding officers.

Ringing assaulted Riza’s ears, the sound of coughing near her ear roused her. The last event rushed back to her and she jolted. “Riza, can you hear me?” That was Roy’s voice, her leader, he was the one next to her. She tried to respond but dust filled her lungs as she tried to take a breath causing her to cough madly. “Oh, thank goodness your alive.” Mustang said.

She tried to get up but for some something heavy rested on her. She opened her eyes and gasped in surprise, it was Armstrong, he’d used his body to cover both Mustang and herself to save them from the resulting blast, thankfully he was still alive, busied to h*** but alive. He looked to her side and saw Mustang, unseeing eyes opened wide in slight panic as he was unable to understand what was going on.

“Do you have any idea what happened to the team?” he whispered, as if almost afraid to hear the answer. Riza glanced around her, please to see Havoc standing up, despite a bit shaky but standing none the less, pulling up other members of the team.

“They’re fine, we’re fine for now, we need to find Father however.”

Edward opened his eyes, blinking rapidly to clear the dust that settled there, fragments of rocks digging painfully into his back. The sound of the explosion still rattling his ears. Something dripped on his cheek, forcing him to focus on the figure above him, his eyes finally clearing. He gasped in shock, it was the Ice-Storm Alchemist, on all fours, body trembling slightly. “And the sleeping beauty finally awakes.” The alchemist’s voice was slightly rough, blood dripping from under his right ear. “We really need to stop doing this.” He muttered as he shifted his weight to his right, dropping heavily beside him.

Edward scoffed lightly, staring at him, this man just saved his life, AGAIN, he might add, and all he can say is ‘We need to stop doing this?’ Edward shook his head, he’ll never understand him. Watching the dust settle, Edward glanced around, then he widened his eyes slightly. There stood Father, in all his glory.

Father glared at them angrily, “You’ll be the first to become my philosopher’s stone, it should be an honour for you.”

Red lightning circled the pair. Edward gasped as his air supply seemed to cut off, every muscle in his body screamed in pain, beside him, the Ice-Storm Alchemist slowly dragged himself to his feet looking as if he was prepared to launch himself at Father.
