--Last Chapter--

‘Julia’ turns to them both and smirks staring at Edward “You can’t kill me.”

Riza growls as she watches her look at Ed “And why not?” she growls out.

‘Julia’ smirks striding over to the both of them “Because the only person who can kill me won’t,” she turns to Ed “isn’t that right?” she asks as Ed flinches backward.

Riza drops her guard as she looks at him uncertainly “Ed?” but that was the biggest mistake of her life as Lust pierces her shoulder with her nails.

“You would think you would learn your lesson and never drop your guard.” Lust says throwing Riza into the stone wall knocking her unconscious.

“Time to go to bed it’s your bed time.” ‘Julia’ said as a sharp pain exploded in the back of his head as darkness claimed him and rendered him unconscious.

Chapter 17: What’s Our Next Move?

“Hey she’s waking up!” was the only thing Riza heard for a few moments but even that was too loud for her ’that voice sounds familiar’ was the only coherent thought she could put together with her jumbled head, all she knew was she was on the floor with her head pounding like someone was beating on her head with bats for days at a time.

Riza groans grabbing her head “Uhh, where am I?” she finally asked slitting her eyes open to see Havoc, Alphonse, Mustang, and Fuery.

Roy smirks “Your on the floor in the Council room in Central.”

Riza groans again smaking him in the head as she sits up, she looks around for a moment noticing some blood was were it wasn’t supposed to be by a bloodied mess of Fuher Hukaro “Where’s Ed?” she asks abruptly looking around.

They all look down at her disappointed Havoc scoffs and lights his cigarette “We thought you would know.” they all look worried around.

Roy looks down at her “What’s the last thing you remember?” he asks her worriedly hopping Al wouldn’t go into a panic just yet.

Riza looks down in deep concentration “I remember coming here to see the Fuher, Ed and I were teasing each other and then,” she stops as the flash of a ’Julia’ goes through her mind she snaps her head up “homunculus.”

“What?” Alphonse asks in near hysteria as Havoc tries to calm him down but it wasn’t working to well.

“Why would a homunculus want him?” Roy asks helping her stand.

She was about to answer before Al beat her to it “To create a Philosopher stone.” Al says matter of factly going out the door and to the National Library for state alchemists.

(Oh and by the way I’m going to use the episodes for the fifth lab and other things from the episodes I just wanted a different way for him to die mines much better though at least I think so)

They all follow after him “Alphonse!” they all call to him but he doesn’t stop until he reaches the Library and goes in as they catch up to him “What are you talking about.” Roy finally asks catching his breath.

Al looks up from his and his brother’s work “The homunculus wanted Ed to make a Philosopher stone for them but he refused it happened in the fifth laboratory didn’t Hughes tell you?” he asks surprised no one else knew.

“He kept that from a lot of us Al.” Riza says coming up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

“That’s most likely why except Ed refused to make it so we decided to find it instead.” Al says going into the events of the fifth lab.

Roy’s left eye twitches for a moment “Ed forgot to mention he knew how to make the Philosopher stone.”

Al laughs sheepishly as he see Riza go over to a shelf “Riza?” he asks uncertainly.

She points to the shelf “There are some books missing apparently they didn’t know how to make it as well as they thought.”

They all nod “But where could they have taken my brother?” Al asks himself pitifully wallowing in self pity he never thought of what would happen if his brother wasn’t there he never really wanted to think that way he always expected his brother to be one step above his enemy’s “Brother please be ok.” if he had a body he would be crying his eyes out but instead he would deal with wallowing in self pity as Riza puts a hand on his metallic shoulder trying to comfort him and herself.

“Don’t worry Ed will be fine.” she says trying to keep her tears a bay ‘I didn’t even get to tell him how I felt about him’

--East Frontier Lior--

“Wakey wakey,” Envy says grinning maniaclly as he shakes him slightly but then stops when he doesn’t repond he growls to Lust “He isn’t waking up,” he snaps his head up “What did you hit him with?”

Lust sighs in frustration leaning against a railing “I hit him with the closest thing I could find.”

‘Julia’ walks in glowering slightly “You better of not of caused him brain damage or we will never become human.” she says not taking her eyes off of Ed.

Lust glares at her slightly “Why are you staring at him?” she sighs as ‘Julia’ doesn’t ”Sloth, it’s not like he’s going to wake up and run away,”

Sloth looks up at them glaring at each of them “I know that,” she snaps “when is Dante scheduled to arrive?” she asks bitterly turning back to Ed as her appearance change to Black hair and a sickly white skin.

Envy looks at her then begins to walk out the door “I think she should be here in a couple of days.”

Lust sighs as Gluttony follows her out like a little lost puppy “Don’t forget to feed the boy when he wakes up Sloth.” was the only thing before she shut the door,

Sloth nods to herself as she continues to look at Ed from across the room ‘Why does he seem so familiar to me?’ she asks herself as she moves to the food set over on a tray by the window as Ed begins to groan as a sign he was waking up.

“Where the hell am I?” he asks himself as he tries to blink the oncoming headache to see Sloth staring at him, he chuckles dryly to himself “Well that answers my question.” he says testing his restraints t find he couldn’t go very far.

She puts out his food in front of him and bends down to be eye level with him as he looks up at her defiantly “How do I know you?” was the only thing she said before Ed almost choked on air.

Ed looks down at the ground sadly as he tries not to look at her he replies “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

Sloth looks at him once more before exciting and leaving Ed to do what ever he pleased until they returned with Dante.

---------------------------------------------

--Central--

Riza growls in frustration pacing back and forth “This is hopeless!” Riza yells at them all making them duck in cover.

Havoc looks at her sacredly “When did she get Ed’s temper and how come we weren’t informed?” Havoc whispers to Falman as he gets a boot to the head sending him to the ground.
Roy sighs in frustration “Calm down everything will be fine.”

“How can it we don’t even know where she took him?” Al growls at him as well as they all take a step back from the demon armor.

Roy looks on as Riza continues to pace and Al glare daggers at anyone who dare say a comment then think for a moment “Lior.”

“Lior?” Al asks confusedly.

Roy says continuing “They haven’t been dispatched someone has to be running them including some mysterious deaths.”

Armstrong nods “So that’s our best bet .”

They all nod in agreement as Al sighs “But is Nii-san there?” he asks himself as Riza can only watch on helplessly.

Riza sighs coming up to him “It’s our only option Alphonse.”

Al nods as they all begin to formulate a plan to get there and find Ed who has become like family to them even if some of them won’t come out and admit it to themselves.
