A Heart Made Fullmetal

#4 Rain

It had been two weeks since the three of you were set to hop on a train going South. During your recovery, you had trained with the boys a little bit, had hung out with them and had bonded a lot! The day the three of you were set to leave came as it would be a long trip that would require a lot of patient as the three of you felt ready. You sit near the window gazing outside as Ed sits facing you along with Al. You look over at Ed as he is reading a book and Al was gazing outside. 

"Ed..." you whisper as Ed looks at you along with Al. You signal Ed that you want to talk with him privately and get up "I have to hit the restroom. Do you by any chance know where it is Edward?" you ask as Ed nods and accompanies you to the bathroom. The two of you walk to the other wagon as it seemed to be empty. You sit on the seat along with Ed as he looks at you concerned. 

"Ed... I had a dream, a strange one. It was of a man with a white coat and blonde hair. He looked rather old... In my dream you and Al died and the two of you would not hear me at all...The man warned me not to deal with matters that do not belong to me. I am scared" you state as Ed chuckles. "I did not want to tell Al because I do not want to worry him for no reason, but I fear the worse at this point' you add as Ed pats your head gently "Do not worry Al and I can handle ourselves. But, this tells me that we need to get you back as soon as possible... " Ed cuts himself while trying to carefully listen and gets up , when the floor  immediately starts to rattle and noises are coming from the wagon Al was on. The two of you rush toward the wagon as Al is fighting against three unidentified man. All of the sudden the train's wagon that all of you were got detached from the train falling behind eventually stopping. 

"Who are you? What do you want?" Ed yells at the three men as they state "We are alchemist haters. We are here to kill state alchemists and everyone involved with them."..

Ed claps is hands than quickly placing them on the ground making the ground rise with giant rocks launching them at the three man as Al does the same thing. The man are able to escape the attacks as they have transformation circles carved on their hands. Ed than uses his automail into a sword and attacks one of the man as they fight it out with alchemy. Meanwhile Al is protecting you and fighting the two man at the same time. Ed and one of the man take the fight outside as Ed seems to be overpowering him. "Why is it that trouble never seems to end" Ed sighs mid fight getting attacked by giant stone arrows as he shield himself by raising the ground. "That is enough" Ed says as he fights the man with taijutsu moves combined with alchemy.

Meanwhile Al seemed to be overpowered by the two man as you stay hidden. You look at your hands wanting to help but you are scared of the new powers. The moment you look up the third man appears in front of your face as the second man traps Al on the train chaining his hands apart from one another and removing his helmet revealing the mark. The third man grabs you from your hands and places them behind your back as he makes you stand in front of Al, while the other man jumps on Al's shoulder looking inside him.

"Now now a hollow armor.. of what taboo did you commit alchemist" the second man says as he throws Al's helmet on the ground next to your feet. You look terrified at Al trying to escape the third man as he is keeping you tight... The second man slides his hand near the mark on Al, making  Al beg for him to stop while you yell tearing up for him to stop as well. On the other side Ed feels something approaching his brothers mark as he looks toward the train for a split second ending up being chained to the ground with his hands apart from each other. Ed fights to get himself free, but the first man decides to just sits next to him, getting Ed furious about his situation.  "No matter what, until the boss comes by you are trapped here alchemist" the man says as Ed turns his attention toward his brother witnessing the men "playing" with Al's mark. Ed's eyes widen with anger as he struggles to free his hands, in tears yells:- "NO DO NOT MESS WITH THE SIGN".

 Seeing  the man is close to whipping the mark off, you try your best to break free when you hear Ed's constant screaming "NO HE'S MY ONLY BROTHER". The moment you hear Ed say those words something inside of you snaps and you are able to free yourself from the third man by stroking your head back fast, hitting him on the nose. He loosened his grip for a bit as you take advantage of this and push him back,  clapping your hands you create giant fists out of the train metal hitting the two man far away from you ad Al.

You rush to Al grabbing his helmet making sure the sign was still there as it was not touched. You sigh in release and set Al free with your alchemy. The two of you barge outside as the man was close to attacking you. He places their hands on the ground creating rock monsters as you tell Al to go save Ed. You clap your hands together once more filled with fury creating a huge sphere sharp enough to destroy the monsters created. You throw your sphere fast destroying the monster as it passes through it as it hits close to his face, cutting his cheek. The other man tries the same maneuver, but you were fast enough to trap his hands apart from one another as you create a knife out of the rocks nearby. You stab the man, however not to kill him and you let him go "Leave!" you say as the man runs for his life. On the other side Ed and Al create a huge fist out of the ground and punch the other two far away from them. The three strangers decide to retreat away terrified as you look at Ed and Al sobbing. 

"Al, Ed are you guys okay?" you ask worried as Al and Ed nod. You hug them both tight "I was so scared I would lose you" you say crying as the two boys hug you back. "We have a promise to keep" Al says as the three of you break the hug looking across the mountains. "We have no train... guess we will have to walk!" Ed suggests as the three of you start laughing and start to walk toward the destination.
