Chapter 13: Rescue

Edward glared at the homunculus sitting across from him in the mansion's dining room. Baneful calmly ate his breakfast, not seeming to notice that the young alchemist was staring at him. Suddenly, he looked up and sighed. "Allen," he said in a parent reasoning voice, (that we all know to well) "you're such a thin child, please, eat your breakfast."

Edward merely glared. "What do you really want from me, money? Power?" Baneful set down his silverware. "Allen, I don't know what you're going on about, but if something's bothering you, I'm your father, you can talk to me." Edward slammed a fist on the table and he jumped up. "I will never consider you my father; you're nothing but a homunculus and a criminal." Suddenly Edward realized something. "What did you do to the other children you kidnapped?" He demanded.

Baneful sat back. "Now Allen, you're being ridicules-"

"STOP CALLING ME ALLEN! I AM NOT YOUR SON AND MY NAME IS EDWARD ELRIC!" Silence filled the room as the two stared at each other. No one moved our said a thing. Baneful sighed and stood up. "Fine then 'Edward.' I will take you to the children." He place his napkin on the table and walked over to Edward. He took Edward's hand but Edward jerked it away, Baneful stared at him for a moment, but then turned and told Ed to follow. They left the dining room, Edward glared as he passed Envy, who had been guarding the door, Envy just gave a satisfied smirk. Edward Scurried to walk beside Baneful.

"Why do you have the other homunculus here? I thought you hated them." Baneful didn't speak for a moment then he said. "Fine, boy, sense you're so persistent I might a well tell you. The other homunculus are here because we now have an agreement, I work with them and they keep you here, also I get to use there technology, so that I can….finish my work." Edward stopped short, Baneful turned back to him. "What work are you talking about?" Baneful sighed. "Edward, your being difficult, come on. I will show you what I mean.

Hesitantly, Edward followed him, he shivered as he realized he was being followed, but he didn't dare look back to see who it was. He just kept up his pace with Baneful, but not getting to close, for fear that he might suddenly grab him, and without alchemy, there who be nothing to stop him from killing him.

Baneful suddenly stopped and Edward bumped into him, Ed jumped back. Baneful hardly notice, he turned to the door that he was standing by and got a key out of his coat pocket. He unlocked the door and opened it. "They're in here." Baneful stepped aside to let Edward look in. Edward walked slowly up and peeked his head in the door way. He didn't see anything but darkness, so he moved to were he was standing in the doorway, still nothing. He stepped forward a couple steps, he could see outlines of jars and papers and a table, but no children, he stepped up to the table. Suddenly, he heard the heavy door close behind him.

Edward spun around, Baneful stood in front of the door way with Wrath standing next to him. "Well, well, it's been a long time Edward." Wrath said in his high pitched voice, smiling at him with his jagged teeth. Edward growled, Baneful reached over and turned on a light next to the door. A blinding light filled the room and Edward shelled his eyes with his arm. He turned to look back at the table and froze and staggered back. There was blood everywhere, in the two largest jars were a child's arm and leg, but the worst of it, along the walls hung the dead bodies of the kidnapped children.

Edward saw that the heads of the children hooked to thousands of wires that ran to a computer that hung above the table. Edward whirled around to glare at Baneful. "You BASTARD! WHY? How could you do this to innocent children? Why would you mess with other people's lives?"

"BECAUSE I WANT MY SON BACK! You should know that. Homunculus try to achieve there goals without concerned for others. We kill to become happy."

"But what the hell are you planning to do?" Baneful smiled darkly, "Oh, Allen, you'll be just like you were before you died." Edward eyes widened as he realized his plan. "N-no, y-you can't!" Edward made a dash for the door but was kicked back by Wrath. He was knocked to the floor, dazed. Baneful grabbed his arm and pulled him up. Edward yanked and hit and squirmed to get free, in a desperate act, he bit down hard on the homunculus's hand. He howled and pulled back. Edward slammed his fist into Wrath's face and he screamed.

Edward tried to open the door and cursed when he found that it had been locked. The saw from the corned of his eye the flash of alchemy and suddenly Wrath had two steel arms holding Edward in place. Edward again tried to get away but to not avail. "NO! NO!" He screamed as he was brought forward in Wrath's powerful grasp. "Yes Edward" Baneful laughed. "I made sure to get the perfect arm and leg to attach to you. You won't be able to walk any more, but Allen couldn't walk either. Also I made sure to get the perfect children's memories to replace yours with. Don't worry, it won't hurt you. You'll simply forget ever being Edward Elric and continue life as my son. It's perfect."

"IT'S CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Edward flailed wildly and tried anything to get away. Wrath held him down as Baneful strapped him down on the table. "Stop struggling, Edward. There's no where for you to go."

"You monster!" Edward panted. Baneful started to lower the machine, "Now just stay calm Edward, I going to lower this on you and it will erase your memory and place different memories in you. "NO! NO! Keep it away! Don't! Somebody! Help!"

Suddenly the door burst open, Baneful, Wrath and Edward turned. There stood Yuki Nagato, but it wasn't like the normal Yuki. This one had power burning in her eyes. "Who the bloody hell are you!" Baneful demanded. Yuki didn't respond, she jumped forward and snapped the straps holding Edward down, Ed immediately rolled off the table and stood up. "YUKI!" Edward had never been happier to see the alien.

"NO!" Baneful howled and reached to grab Edward, but Yuki muttered so super-fast gibberish and concealed Baneful in a clear container. Wrath jumped forward to tackle Yuki but she kicked him right in the face and he was sent flying back. Yuki muttered something really quickly under her breath and Wrath was concealed in the same containers. Baneful cursed and banged at the container. "Damn it! Why the hell aren't the guards here?"

"Because we already took care of them!" Edward turned to the door, and there stood the Koizumi, Mikuru, Haruhi, Kyon, Roy, Winry, Alphonse, and Armstrong. "Well, Fullmetal, it looks like you owe us." Roy smirked. "Thanks guys.." Edward smiled. "Don't thank us yet," Yuki said. Everyone looked at her. "What do you mean?" Alphonse asked. Yuki took off her glasses. "The spell for the containers only lasts a few minutes, also, I placed some explosives around the mansion."

"WHAT!" Everyone jumped. Suddenly, Armstrong got a famous sparkle. "HOHO Edward Elric, because you are injured, I, Alex Louis Armstrong, shall carry you to safety!" The Major picked Edward up and started to run to the exit, the others followed. "HEY! I CAN WALK MAJOR! PUT ME DOWN!"

Dear Kyon,

It's great that I have finally gotten the chance to write to you, Ed's doing fine too. He and Alphonse have finally gotten back to there search for a way to get there bodies back, but they're not calling me again, so I don't know how it's going. The train ride home went smoothly, and Dr. Hawkclaws was there too, but she disappeared latter in the trip and we found Lieutenant Hawkeye on the train, coincidence? Anyway, it turns out that all the homunculus survived the explosion, but Baneful isn't kidnapping anymore because all his research was destroyed, that's good news for everyone here. It was hard to break the news to the parents of the children, but everything seems to be back to normal. Roy got all the credit for stopping the kidnapping, but that also means he got all the paperwork, so every time I saw him he had a gun to his head, filling out paperwork. Poor guy.

Anyway, how's it coming down there, is it true that Yuki still carries around that stuffed Kappa? She must really like it. I'm sorry to hear about Haruhi. It must be pretty tough to forget everything about the time Edward was in Tokyo. What happened again? Got hit in the head with a pile of alchemy text books? Too bad. At leased everyone was able to keep there secret. It's probably a good thing she forgot. Edward kept getting text messages from her. But was it really necessary to send pictures of Edward in those outfits. Major Armstrong saw them and somehow he likes the idea.

He said "IT IS GOOD TO INBRACE YOUR FEMININE SIDE BY DRESSING AS SUCH! DON'T FEEL BAD MY BOY!" I think it's funny, but Edward ended up getting annoyed everything he saw the major.

By the way, how is your friend? Is he still in the hospital? I hope that Edward didn't kill him… Anyway thank Haruhi for the Hare Hare Yukai steps again, I've been trying to teach Den, but he's not that good.

I'm glad that everyone there is doing okay. I hope that Edward, Alphonse, and I have the chance to come back someday, maybe visit that hot spring again. But until then, I'm sure that Edward misses Yuki a lot but I bet he'll never admit it. Well, all write you again.

Sincerely,

Winry Rockbell
