Turtlequeen2: Oh my gosh! The first time I’m steering away from Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: Finally!

Turtlequeen2: Hey, you’re not supposed to be here! Unless you know alchemy that is…

Inuyasha: Keh! What’s that? *Turtlequeen2 kicks him down to the other side of the well, listening to him scream obscenities at her as he goes down*

Turtlequeen2: Well that’s settled.

Ed: Who was that?

Turtlequeen2: No one important…

Ed: Whatever. Just finish this will ya? I’ve got a mission to get on.

Turtlequeen2: Ok. Sure. I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, only Arakawa Hiromu does. This is in Ed’s POV.

My Brother Alphonse

There was a time that my brother was normal

There was a time when I was normal

Those times were ruined by our stupidity that dreadful night

When we tried to bring our mother back to life

Using the forbidden ways of Alchemy

Ever since Mother died, all me and Al did, was study

We wanted to become Alchemists like Father

Much to Winry and Aunt Pinako’s dislike

We wanted to bring Mother back to life more than anything

Unfortunately, we overlooked Equivalent Exchange

It cost us dearly

We created the Human Transmutation Circle

We put forth, the essential components of a human body

We gave our own blood

Thinking it was enough

It wasn’t

The gates worse than Hell opened

It took me in and I saw true horrors of strange beings

They took my right arm and left leg

They took my brother’s body

Almost his soul

With the strength I had left

I transmitted his soul into a nearby suit of armor

If I hadn’t acted quickly

He would’ve died

And I would only have myself to blame

Next thing I knew

I woke up in Winry’s house

She gave me Automail for my missing limbs

And then I stared in horror and fascination

At my brother

Or what he used to be

As we traveled across the world

We often had talks

He always told me of his thoughts

He was an innocent soul

Always thought for the good of the people

Even when I didn’t

He always calmed me

Always protected me when I was down

I did the same for him

I still do

We only have each other

And the military

He often told me how he felt

He wishes to know what it’s like to eat again

To know happiness

To shed tears

To feel pain

I guess we all take simple human gestures for granted

Until you can longer do them

Now we need to get the Philosopher’s Stone

To change our bodies back to normal

To reverse the grave mistake we made

I’ll sacrifice anything

Even my life

To make sure my brother Al

Gets his body back

For him to be human

For him to feel happiness

For him to live on

Is good enough for me

But I know that he won’t want me to die

So I’ll stay alive

So he won’t have to suffer from being alone

I know with one of us dead

The other one will die along with them

We have to stand together

Because we only have each other

We are our own friends and family

We are the protectors of the people

My brother in a suit of armor

I view him no different than what he was in his body

He is still the same person I grew up with

My Brother Alphonse
