Chapter Four: Taking of Ed

"What?" Roy asked sharply.

"The road’s blocked sir." Havoc repeated calmly.

Roy glanced out the window seeing the tree in the middle of the road. The brothers grinned.

"We’ll get it." Ed said moving to get out of the van.

"Right." Al agreed instantly.

/Something doesn’t feel right here... Something bad is going to happen.../ Ritsuko thought biting her lip as she held Mitsu close. The smaller child had thankfully stayed asleep when the van had stopped. Ritsuko’s eyes caught Roy’s frown and she glanced out the window trying to pinpoint what she felt. /It’s Mistress.../ She bit her lip sensing the insane woman. "They’re near. I’m sorry, I can’t tell where..." She looked up her eyes showing only fear. Roy looked at her.



Envy chuckled from her perch. "Seems Flame’s being cautious."

Jan sat in a nearby tree grinning madly as she winked at the green haired man. "Think I can hit the cute driver from here? Don’t worry, I won’t kill him. Though if the others catch up, he’ll be wishing we did." She pulled a blue colored dart from the leather band on her wrist.

"Thought that you didn’t like easy targets." Envy said watching the boys move the tree from the road. "Though I don’t think that he’ll be able to dodge it. You’re aim still good?"

"Of course, I’ve been practicing on smaller targets. Brats are quicker than adults, and tend to move more when they know they’re targeted." She leaned back arching her back with almost cat like grace as she did. Slender arms reached down as she hooked her knees on the branch she had been sitting on and lined up the shot. "Cute little go-for boy’s going to take a small little nap now..." She whispered letting the dart fly.

"Ow." Havoc winced as the dart hit going deep into the bone.

"Something wrong?" Hughes asked seeing him go for his arm.

"Nah just a..." He fell forward as the drugs in the dart started to take effect.

Envy smiled at Jan as she pulled herself back up, the branch still not moving. "They’ve become faster acting."

"Needed something to knock out tubby if he ever decided I was a chew toy again. One of the reasons I hate that cunt rag." She growled low.

Envy bit back a laugh at the human woman’s comment. There were times he wanted to say things along the same lines to the younger homunculi, but held his tongue because of his dislike for pain.



Roy fell to the floor as the drug took effect. His jaw felt like it was welded shut and he found he couldn’t move. He tried to close his eyes and will himself to wake up from the nightmare he had stumbled into, but his eyes wouldn’t close.

Jan Davies walked up to him, licking the blood of a child from the blade she had used to kill the said child. "Poor little Flame, got yourself into a little trouble here didn’t you? Bet they sent you to bring us back didn’t they? Well, I’m not going back. You know why?" The blond asked as she knelt before him.

Roy had no choice but to watch her. /Damn it, move.../ He silently willed to himself hoping the drug would wear off before the woman did anything to him.

She watched him, her bright eyes shimmering with madness as she pressed the blade against the fabric of his jacket, slowly cutting it from his body. "I wonder Flame... You as built as the other women say? Or are they all wishful thinking because you don’t swing that way." She asked cutting his jacket off him and slipping her cold fingers into his pants to un-tuck his shirt.



Ritsuko saw the dart and pulled it from Havoc’s shoulder holding it carefully in her hand. "She’s here."

Roy heard the words bringing him back to the present. "Fullmetal! Get back here now!" He ordered hoping no one had noticed his lapse.

Maes looked at his friend wondering what was going on. /He keeps this up I might have to take over until he can get a grip on himself... I’ve never seen him this spacey before./ Hughes thought before looking at the young woman. She looked up at him, her eyes showing fear. "It’s okay, we won’t let them near you okay?"

"We’re comin’ keep your pants on." Ed scowled at him.

Mitsuko woke with a start hearing Ritsuko’s words and looked at the dark haired woman. She saw the blue dart and paled slightly. "Sleeper..." She whispered softly.

"It’s okay Mitsuko. Just stay down okay?" Ritsuko begged. The girl nodded, not lifting her head up from the seat. Both watched as the blond woman drew her gun, taking the safety off.

Another dart went flying, hitting Ed’s metal arm. Ed stopped at the door, looking at it. "Eh?"

Roy pulled him into the van allowing his brother in before closing the door.

"He... he’s..." Fury was about to lose it.

"He’s just drugged. Falmon can you get us out of here?" Roy ordered keeping an eye to the trees. /Where are you?/ He thought hoping to see movement.

"Aim for the neck next time."

"I was, he blocked. I don’t think it was intentional though." She quipped back biting her lip. /Am I losing my edge?/ She wondered as she stayed still seeing Flame’s eyes on her location. She smiled knowing she was too well hidden for the Alchemist to see her. /I may be third rate, but at least I use the gift I have for my own reasons./ She thought smiling to herself.

Falmon had moved Havoc to the back of the van and started off. /Great... I was hoping something easy this time.../

Ritsuko scrambled over to Havoc’s side placing the sleeping man’s head in her lap to help protect him if the road got bumpy. She tore off some of her shirt bandaging his arm to stop the bleeding.

"Sis.." Mitsuko saw the look in the woman’s eyes. "Are you sure you want to do that?"

"Do what?" Al asked looking at them as Ritsuko placed her hands on Havoc gently. She didn’t answer.

/Please work../ She thought hoping that she wasn’t too weak.

"What the hell is going on?" Ed asked looking at Roy. "Don’t leave me an’ Al out of the loop again." He bit back most of his language not wanting Maes to thwap him again.

Roy frowned. "Nothing you two want to know about." He replied knowing it wouldn’t really do for an answer with the older Elric brother.

Jan scrambled after them, not caring if the branches moved now. She was still concealed enough that it would be impossible for Flame to attack her without burning down the forest. /Like to see him do that. The animal brat would freak out on him./ "Damn I can’t get another shot at anyone inside."

Hawkeye caught movement in the corner of her eye. "Sir, above us to the right."

Envy caught up with her. "Try for the tires."

"She’s only human. There’s no way she can keep up, if you get a chance shoot her." Roy said carefully.

Ritsuko heard the order and cringed a little. She remembered how much gunshots hurt. /He won’t make me heal her... they don’t know I can do that anyway.../ She thought shivering a little. Her eyes caught Hughes’ own and he reached over patting her shoulder lightly.

"It’ll be okay."

She nodded to him staying still.

"Okay, what the hell’s going on?" Ed growled hating being left out.

Mitsuko sighed looking at the golden eyed boy. "The woman who threw that dart is Boss’s wife. They... they’re Ritsu’s masters."

Jan threw a knife at one of the tires, yelping as she missed her footing. The shape-shifter caught her before she could fall. "Now you owe me more."

"This time I fully intend to keep my promise." She said as she stood on the branch with him.

"You mean those two idiots from the church?" Ed asked looking at the red head, who slowly nodded to him. It was clear she was upset about it too.

Falmon cursed as the van got out of control. He managed to keep it right side up.

"We have to fix that. Fullmetal.."

"I don’t know... you’re workin’ me like a dog lately..." Ed started. He caught the glare from Roy and sighed. "Okay okay..."

"Hawkeye cover him."

The blond nodded.

Jan rubbed her shoulder. "Your show if you want it Envy. I have to pop my shoulder back in place."

Envy dropped down from the tree with ease and grinned waiting his chance to move. Hawkeye had her back to him. /Perfect./

Ed glanced up almost too late to give a warning as he saw the green haired freak charge forward. "Hawkeye!"

She turned managing a wild shot as he shifted forms, becoming a little more built, and crashed into her. Riza felt her gun go flying from her hands as hands wrapped around her throat.

/What the hell is that doing here?/ Roy thought as he moved to help. "Hughes, protect them."

"What’s wrong Fullmetal runt? Afraid?" Envy lifted Riza from the ground. The blond woman tried to scratch her way free. "Flame, I wouldn’t come closer, it wouldn’t be a challenge to snap her neck. And better stop struggling." He glared at her.

/Damn it... I should have had him.../ She growled as she was set back on her feet. Ed charged at them and Envy threw her towards Flame to keep them both out of the fight.

Roy caught her kneeling with her. "You okay?" He whispered softly.

She nodded. "I’ll live." She found her gun and grabbed it holding it close to her.

"Oh how cute Flame. Didn’t think that you would have a soft spot for blonds." The cold singsong voice made him look over at the woman as she stepped into sight. "What’s wrong? Couldn’t save another woman? Or is it the child this time?"

/She’s still favoring an arm. Wonder if she fell./ He thought as she leaned against a tree.



Inside the van Ritsuko shimmered with a faint red-purple light and markings, much like an alchemy array appeared on her arms, only to ebb into the sleeping man who’s head was still in her lap. She groaned as her eyes rolled back and she fell back.

Brenda caught her yelping slightly with her small weight against him.

"Sis!" The girl screamed. "Sis wake up!"



Envy smirked seeing it was easier to pull Ed away from the others.

Ed heard Mitsuko’s scream and glanced back slightly, using his metal arm to block Envy’s blow.

Jan lifted her hand exposing two darts. "Now, Flame, you remember which one it was for a nap? I don’ remember? Was it blue, or pink?" She smiled coldly.

Roy moved Hawkeye behind him scowling. "They’re not part of this."

"All military are. Though I have my sights set on certain members of your party. After all, they are the ones that have a better price on them. Wouldn’t you like to know who they are?" She threw the blue dart in her hand in Ed’s direction hissing as a bullet hit her arm. She slumped against the tree still holding the pink projectile. "You must like feisty blonds... hope you know she made it to the list of people I want dead now."

Ed was unable to dodge the dart, still fighting Envy. The green haired man heard the boy hiss and watched his eyes close. /They still work like a charm./ He thought pulling the dart out of the kid’s back and dropping it to the ground.

/They were after him all along.../ Roy scowled wanting to hit the blond woman. "I’ll find where you’re taking him."

"I hope you do, and please, bring back the pet that you stole from us. After all, I’m going to need her back."

"Brother!" Al started to run towards Envy and his brother. /Don’t let him be dead..../

"Oh, forgot you were there Tin can. Say farewell to he runt." He snickered.

/Damn it, they were after Fullmetal all along./ He thought. "Alphonse be careful."

"Put my brother down you freak."

Riza tried to line up a shot unable to concentrate. "...Come on Al... out of the way. I can get a clear shot without hurting Ed if you move..." She whispered to herself.

"I would, but we have to discuss some things." Envy smirked.

Mitsuko scrambled out of the van finding a twig nearby. She scribbled something on the ground hoping that it would work. /I failed to protect Sis.... but maybe I can help Edward.../ She thought noticing that the tall man had followed her outside and was staying by her.

"This isn’t the time to play."

"I’m not playing..." She touched the array she had drawn and yellow light flared around her, startling Roy.

/The kid’s an alchemist?/ He thought as a strange scent filled the air.

"Envy! Take to the trees!" Jan yelled recognizing the scent. "Wolves won’t be able to follow." She threw the dart hitting Mitsuko in the wrist as she started to wipe away her array to do another one.

"I won’t let them get fa..." She screamed holding her arm close to her.

"Maes get her inside." Roy ordered hearing her scream. /Damn, I can’t risk burning Ed alive./ He thought turning to look at Jan again. "Surrender Jan."

"That an order Colonel? You know better than anyone that I don’t take orders very well. Or have you forgotten that." She held her arm smiling. "I go with you and I’d be lucky to live long enough to see my execution... this way I’m at least free to do as I please, and causing you hell is what I want now." She touched the ground and vines raced towards Hawkeye and Roy both.

"Fuck." Roy growled scorching the vines enough so they stayed back. "Hawkeye?"

"I’m okay sir."

Jan laughed slipping into the woods knowing that they would follow anyway. /The boy was the main target. And even if they find my idiot husband, he doesn’t have the antidote on him for the girl. They’ll have to come to me, both pets./ She smiled at the idea. /I’ll let her teach him how to pleasure me properly... maybe in time I’ll take the chains off him./

Roy heard the child moan as she was picked up. "Hughes."

"I’m okay, not sure about the kid though. I’m sorry."

"Sir, how do you know her?" Hawkeye asked.

"Ishval." He responded. "We have to find Fullmetal now." He said trying to keep calm.

"We can’t take civilians into a potentially hostile area Colonel. Fullmetal will have to wait."

"Can you think of anywhere to take them?" Roy snapped back, not meaning to. /Shit, she’s already getting to me./ He thought. "Hawkeye."

"I understand sir." She said.

"We’re not close to anywhere we can leave the two girls for a little while. The church is the first place they’d expect us to leave them until we got Fullmetal back. And I’m not leaving him in their hands."

Hughes carefully set he small girl down, gently brushing the hair out of her face as she whimpered slightly.

"...I don’ like he o’phanage... The older kids pick on me and hut my friends... Don’ make me go back there Father Rem... Please... I don’t wan to go back there..." She whimpered softly, seeming to ease as Hughes brushed back he hair.

/She must be dreaming.. Poor girl, why didn’t anyone stop them from bullying her./ He thought. /When we get back to Central I’ll see if she wants to live with us.. I’m sure Glacia won’t mind it./ He added carefully removing the dart from her wrist. The girl gave a small cry in pain as he did. "Sh... It’s okay little one..." He calmly spoke taking note that she hadn’t woken. He felt eyes watching him and looked over to Ritsuko who gave a worried look to her.

"What color was the dart?" She asked looking into his bright blue eyes.

"Here," Hughes carefully removed the dart handing it to her. She paled seeing it.

"Jan took the boy didn’t she?" She asked fighting something in her mind. "She... She may take him to where they were keeping me." It was clear that she was scared of the thought of going back to the place. "I... It’s where they would also have the cure to the toxin they gave Mitsu." She bit her lip. "We... we’d have to get it from Mistress Jan’s room." She said not bothering to look up.

Roy caught the woman’s cringe as she spoke. "She doesn’t own you."

"I... I’ll get you in, just... will he be able to stay with her? I’d rather someone who would care for her be here if something happens." She said fighting freaking out.

"You’re staying with them as well. We don’t need them getting you if we get seperated."

"Besides, I wouldn’t think of leaving this princess alone. Not while she’s unable to defend herself." Hughes thought as he held the child in his arms.

"But..." She saw the look from both men and nodded staying quiet. "I’ll stay." She felt something wet on her lip and touched her tongue to it, realizing she had chewed through her lip and it was bleeding.

Hughes handed her a cloth. "Here, we don’t need you getting hurt more, just relax okay?"

"No... boss, I’ll behave... Don’t hit her again.. please.. Sissy..." Misuko reached out. Hughes caught her hand.



Envy dropped down to the yard still holding Edward. "Oi, brought a present."

Jordan looked up from where he was loading his gun. "Where’s Jan?" He asked standing. He saw the red jacket on the kid. "So you caught him. Guessing you want to start breaking him?"

"She’ll be around soon. Why not start now." Envy shrugged. "If she has a problem she could always take over. She just better remember I want to take him first."

"Well, since our pet’s gone, we do happen to have a room free. Maybe we should make him comfortable."

When Envy nodded Jordan lead the way to a small closet like room in the basement. "The little bitch destroyed the chains, but I have rope that should hold until we can get more." He looked around finding the item he wanted. It was a steel yoke with curves two feet from the middle, and a locking collar at the midpoint of the bar it’s self.

Envy put Edward down and Jordan knelt slipping the bar under his head, locking it in place. "We don’t need him using Alchemy." Envy commented watching as locks were used to bind Ed’s metal and flesh arms to the bar before he looped rope at the ends and around a pulley.

"How far up you want him." Jordan asked pulling the rope and lifting the boy off the ground. When he was on his knees he stopped. It was clear even if Ed found the strength to stand, he wouldn’t be able to move close enough to the walls to draw an array if he wanted to.

"Maybe you should make the runt more comfortable."

"I just didn’t want him to attack me if he woke. Tempting to bind his legs like this, but I think you’d like him to stand at some point." Jordan drew a knife and slowly cut the boy’s clothing off him, one layer at a time.

Envy watched the painstakingly slow movement trying to decide what he would do with the small boy when he got the chance. Inhuman eyes danced over the youth’s scarred chest as his shirt was removed.

Jordan freed the braid letting the golden locks fall around the boy’s shoulders before he removed his belt and boots before working on jutting off his pants. "The workmanship on his automail’s excellent." Jordan marveled.

"His little friend makes it for him." Envy replied as Jordan removed the last layer of clothing leaving the boy kneeling on the floor of the cold basement floor with nothing except his automail armor on.

"Aru..." Ed mumbled, still asleep. "...Stop taking all the covers... ‘m cold." He grumbled trying to shift in his sleep.

Jordan looked down at the boy as he mumbled. "Who’s this ‘Aru‘?"

"His little brother. The big guy in the armor." Envy leaned back looking over the nude figure licking his lips. /They won’t be happy with it. But he deserves it./

Gold eyes slowly opened as Ed woke. He saw the two men over him and reddened as he realized they had stripped him.

"Have a nice nap?" Jordan asked kicking the scraps of fabric away from him.

Ed scowled, scanning the room quickly. The floor under his knees felt sticky, as if something, he didn’t want to know what it was, had collected there. The walls and bit of the floor he could see were a rusty brown. /That the hell did they do in here?/ He thought seeing objects he really didn’t want to know the use of hanging on the walls around him.

"I usually don’t let toys leave here." Jordan ran rough fingers along the scars on his chest. "So far the only one that’s lef alive has been Ritsuko. Don’t worry, I have no intention of killing you. Maiming, and humiliating, yes, killing you? Well, that’s his job, but I think they have other plans for you." Jordan said as he knelt reaching between the boy’s legs.

"Sick bastard..." Ed growled yelping as the older man’s hand tightened around his balls.

"I would be on my best behavior if I were you. I’m gentle compaired to my wife. And it’ll be nothing compaired to what I have a feeling Envy has in mind for you." Jordan said watchign pain and embarassment fill the boy’s face.

The comment on Ed’s lips died with a small scream of pain as Jordan continued to work on him, digging his nails into the soft flesh. He tried his best to curl up, but couldn’t.

"You’re screaming bores me." He pulled the boy’s hair tilting the boy’s head back. "Envy, would you get the gag over there? I think we have to teach him that his mouth isn’t his anymore."

Ed growled struggling to get free as Envy stuffed the ball into his mouth, pulling the leather straps tight, buckling it so tight the leather felt like it was tearing at his lips.

"You know, that’s a good look for you shrimp."

Ed thrashed, anger clearly on his face as he tried to convey his frustration. The men laughed watching him.

/Please have Roy coming after me... I don’t want Al seeing me like this.../ Ed thought not sure how he would get out of the mess without help. He closed his eyes tightly.

Jordan knelt again, slowly stroking the young teen. He felt Ed try to jerk away from him and gave a painful tug, making the boy whimper through the gag.

/I can’t be enjoying this.../ Ed thought shaking his head. He tried to picture something else in his mind to try to will away the painful hard on that the man was working him up to.

"Listen to him pant already." Envy laughed. /And I thought that I wouldn’t like watching something like this... Watching Jordan with him, makes me want him more... I can see why Jan likes him../ Envy thought as he watched the two of them.

Tears trailed down Edward’s cheeks as he realized fully that there was nothing he could do to stop them. /The bastard Colonel won’t leave me right... Al wouldn’t... And I doubt Hughes would let them.../ He thought hoping that they’d come soon.

"Hon... I think we have one pissed Flame headed our way..."

/The woman... Flame... Colonel Mustang.../ Ed thought feeling hopeful that he’d get there soon. /Please dont have him find me like this... Anyone but him.../ He added struggling a little. Jordan paid it no attention as he stood, wiping Ed’s precum off on the boy’s own chest leaving him with an aching need.
"Big surprise there." Envy laughed. "Maybe he’s worried we’ll take the brat before he could have a chance at him."

"Well, we may as well give our guest a warm welcome." Jordan walked away from him.

/Damn it! This fucking hurts... you can’t leave me like this..." Ed tried to get free again, hearing Envy laugh just before the door shut leaving him in the darkness of the windowless room.
