Crimson Karma Alchemist- Edward Elric X Reader

Chapter XXXVII

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

As I fought, I could also feel the different energies around me. All my comrades fighting to stop Father. I strongly felt Ed's energy the most. How hard he was fighting against the last of the Homonculi.

"You're a coward more than anything! Keeping me locked up to utilize my power. Your methods to demolish me are very cowardly." I said, grabbing Father's attention. I knew he could hear everything I said.

"Are you tired of being locked up? Then how about I "utilize" that dark and dangerous stone of yours now." Father said in a melicous tone. I involuntarily gulped and clenched my fists.

"You can try but you won't succeed." I said lightly. I sent out a pulse from the inner core of my stone shocking Father for a second. In that split second my flames formed a large spike made of rock that pierced Father through and through. He won't beat me.

Father instantly disintegrated the large piece of rock and shot out another black tendril, surrounding my throat and squeezing tightly. I growled loudly, allowing the best to come out. Unleashing my true form as a Homonculus was probably the only way to fight this fairly. My white flames lightly dance around me as I transformed. Wings on my back, ears pointed, claws drawn out into something deadly, then my blood thirsty red eyes.

From what I had recovered from my memories, this form turned me more into an animal than a functional human being. My brain worked on autopilot almost, the only thing it thought of was destroying the enemy in front of me. I sent another pulse out, one after the other with only mere seconds between them. My flames slowly surrounded me in a sphere. They didn't burn off the black tendrils but stopped them from pulling me back into the nothingness.

I took a moment to focus back on what was going on outside. The pot of boiling lava was dumped on Father, I could feel the heat which helped fuel my flames. I wonder if this felt like heart burn to him? Just a growing ball of fire inside of you, hm curious.

Father used the lava to make his way to the surface, collecting more souls for his diminishing  stone and body. Once we reached the surface he took the souls of the guards who were in front of us. I watched the souls enter the void I was trapped in. The screaming voices ringing in my ears.

"You bastard." I grumbled and sent another pulse throughout his body. I could hear him struggle but I knew he wouldn't back down. Ah Father went to take more souls, Hohenheim shot a large spike at his back distracting him from the task.

The soldiers cleared the area as the other soon followed after and joined us.

"You think humans are lesser than you but you need humans to create a philosopher stone. The philosopher you created from humans then creates the Homonculi. You call yourself a god but all you have done is destroy." Hohenheim said.

"I can create life too." Father said. He focused his energy and brought back out the people trapped in his body. I watched some souls leave and tried to make a break for it. The restraints tightened around my limbs but it started to tear.  I growled loudly, sending a shiver throughout his body then shot a spark of fire that turned into a large ball into the exit the other souls were leaving from.

I closed my eyes seeing the unsettled and startled looks on their faces from my growl but then I saw a glint more of hope cross Ed's face when he saw the fireball shoot out of the Homonculi.
