DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING.

 

~~~CHAPPIE 2~~~

 

Roy woke with a start. Something was off, he could sense it. He turned over slowly and rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. He reached for his state pocket watch and tried to read the numeric symbols. They read 15 minutes till 4 a.m.

 

He picked up his head a bit off the pillows and looked toward Ed's bed. Roy stared at it for a few minutes before sitting up fully in his bed, some of the covers and sheets falling off the other side.

 

 

Ed wasn't breathing. Roy shot into action sprinting across the room in a rushed panic, “Fullmetal?! Edward?! Answer me!” Roy couldn't loose the only thing he had left that he cared about, even if Ed didn't know; he meant the world to him. Then Roy stopped abruptly. He slowly, carefully pulled the blankets off fearing he'd find the small boy dead; his worst fear. As he did so he finally knew why he sensed something was off. `This wasn't Ed at all?!?' Roy thought angrily. `But wait,' something had just clicked in his mind, `If Ed isn't here then….were is he?'

 

Just then Roy remembered the look in Ed's amber eyes just before they went to sleep. As if he was hiding something .It all made sense now. Roy's midnight eyes grew wide as he realized Ed's plan. “Oh no...” he thought aloud. He quickly threw on his boots and ran out the door, sought out to find the blonde boy.

 

 

~~~~MEANWHILE~~~

 

 

Ed walked around the dark corner, carefully glancing at his surroundings. Envy was here, in this same area earlier that same day. Ed wanted to hunt him down and put an end to all this Philosopher's Stone madness. He needed it for Al. To make things right again, without getting anyone else involved. He didn't need to get the colonel involved; he didn't need the man he desperately loved injured. That's why he had to do this alone.

 

Ed heard hollow footsteps behind him. He drew his eyebrows together, `Defiantly a homunculus.' Ed started to jog a little, just till the end if the ally. After all, he can't be this active in his condition.

 

Ed reached the end of the ally and saw a boat dock. The footsteps also came to an end at the end of the ally followed by a calm yet taunting voice, “ Hello pipsqueak .Why are you running from me? Scared?”

 

Ed turned quickly and hissed, “Envy...” “Who else were you expecting? The Flame Colonel?” Ed's face turned pale. “You leave him out of this; I don't want him involved.”

 

“Why? Because you love him? PLEASE! Give me a break. Pipsqueak, if I wanted him involved he'd be here already. He's no importance to me.” Envy scoffed.

 

That was a load off Ed's back. He took a deep breath and looked back to the green haired...thing. “Alright, let's finish this.”

 

Ed darted forward to Envy. Envy dodged the attack, but only barely. Ed growled and clapped his hands together. His automail slowly changed into a jagged blade connected from his metallic elbow to his wrist as the blue light faded.

 

Envy chuckled, “Fancy.” Envy swiftly jumped into the air onto a near by building and crouched. Ed cursed under his breath. He was aching terribly but, decided to after him anyway.

 

Ed quickly without thinking clapped his hands and shoved them to the ground creating a small block to rise from the ground and instantaneously elevate to the height of the building.

 

The anger on Envy's face was clear. Ed smirked. Then like a cat pouncing on a mouse, Envy leaped off the building and onto Ed causing them both to fall off the small tower Ed had created.

 

~~~BACK WITH ROY~~~

 

Roy bolted out of the hotel lobby yelling back at the lady who had gave them the key to their room not a day before that he'd be back later. The streets were mostly empty, except the occasional car going to work or jogger running before the sun rose, even though it was freezing out there.

 

 

Roy's black trench coat flew steadily behind him as he hurried down the dark streets and allies searching for the familiar red coated alchemist.

 

 

~~~BACK WITH EDWARD~~~

 

 

Ed hit the ground first, his head making a sickening thump and the ground. Luckily he didn't get knocked out. Envy was already up; the fall not effecting him in the least.

 

 

Ed stood up and was surprised to see that he was unharmed. Well, almost. As he ran his gloved flesh and through his hair he noticed as he pulled it back there was something wet covering the palm. `Blood?' thought Ed. He looked back up to see Envy was running toward him; arm in a spike-like form. He decided to meet Envy in between. The two weapons collided and both were struggling for control. “Give up, kid.” Ed glared at him for a second before saying though clenched teeth, “Not a chance, Envy.”

 

Ed swiftly squatted down making Envy loose his balance. `My chance!' Ed thought victoriously. He bent down enough to where he could lunge at him and trip him .Then, with one abrupt move he sprung forward and Envy tumbled over his shoulders and back onto the ground behind him.

 

 

“Alright, Fullmetal Boy, you really pissed me off now!” Envy spat.

 

 

Ed gave him an `I hate you' look before getting up of the ground just to fall back on it in a coughing fit.

 

Envy smiled a toothy grin thinking `He's ill..!” But his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a watery-like substance hit the ground with a splat. He jerked his head in Ed's direction only to find a wide eyed Edward with a pool of blood in front of him.

 

Ed covered his mouth with both hands and stared at the pool of his own blood. Then he squinted his eyes and thought `It's getting worse…'

 

 

As he stood, hands still over his mouth he swayed a little. `Damn, that was a lot of blood…I feel light headed…'

 

Envy took this chance to make his final move. He slowly walked over to the left side of Ed's body; the right side facing to water at the boat dock. All of a sudden he charged at Ed and jumped a tiny bit off the ground and kicked the weak boy and sent him flying into the water.

 

~~~WITH ROY~~~

 

Roy rounded the corner off the last ally; the one closest to the dock where the boats came in every day at 3 p.m. As he did so he didn't notice the puddle of water and he almost bust his ass but, managed to catch himself before he got halfway to the ground.

 

At the end of the ally, he came to a halt. The scene before him wouldn't let him move. There, before his eyes was Edward Elric, hands over his mouth crimson blood leaking from them. At the side of his vision he saw a green haired figure. Envy. As Envy was moving, ever so slowly, Roy noticed what Ed was staring at. A pool of blood. Obviously not Envy's. Envy moved into the sight he had of Ed. He was a distance off, so he couldn't quite see his face to see what evil deed he was planning to do.

 

 

Envy started to run at Ed. Roy's eyes grew larger. He wanted to tell Ed to move but, nothing came from his throat.

 

 

All he could do is stare as Ed was flung into the deep blue water and didn't start coming up. That's when his body came to its senses and he unfroze screaming Ed's name as the young alchemist sunk deeper and deeper into the ocean water below.

 

~~~CLIFFHANGER~~~

 

Sorry to do that but I thought it might want you to read more or at least put you on the edge of your seat.

 

Please review. And sorry if the fight scene wasn't that good I did my best. ^^
