A/N: I AM SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE, SOME PERSONAL ISSUES OCCURED SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST CHAPTER WAS UPLOADED AND THEN I WAS STUCK WITH FINALS. You would think that work would lower during finals but sadly it didn't for me.

A/N: If Roy is OOC then just think about it this way, he kind of has a concussion so he isn't thinking straight.

A/N: I appreciate all the criticism I got, honestly this was a rushed story, I had the idea in my head and I wanted to publish it, so I really didn't put much effort into grammar, etc. I got more opinions about the beginning, once again I did not care about the beginning my idea was just from the part Roy woke up to the point where Roy had to leave him, the events that got to that I had no idea how to start, so I just put some crappy beginning I needed something to start this story, so yeah. I know the beginning sucks maybe sometime later when I feel like it I'll redo this whole thing, better grammar, story etc, but I still appreciate the reviews you guys sent me, honestly reading stories here on fanfiction seeing how people write has helped me a lot in English to be honest. Even reading what you guys have to say about my stories has helped me improve, so yeah I appreciate all this. Ok im going off topic on with the story

Roy looked a the collapsed entrance in shock, he couldn't move

"...Fullmetal...Edward..." He couldn't even get his thoughts straight. Havoc still had his grip on him, but he heard his Colonel speak

"Havoc, let me go" Havoc smiled sadly

"Sorry, Colonel, I can't do that" Roy's fist curled in

"Then..sorry.." Havoc was confused

"For what?" Roy didn't answer instead, he slammed his elbow into Havocs stomach making him release his hold on Roy, Roy quickly got on his feet and ran to the pile of rubble, he started moving rocks out of the way, his team just watched him sadly.

As he pushed through the rubble the same thoughts running over and over in his head

"I won't let him die...I won't let him die!" He managed to move most of the smaller rocks, but a giant rock blocked his way from moving the rest of the rubble, he put his hands against it and pushed. But it was no use, the fact that most of his strength was depleted and the head wound he couldn't put all his strength into it. As he was pushing he ignored the footsteps that were approaching him. He only paid attention after he heard grunting, he turned his head to both sides and saw that Havoc and Riza were pushing the rock alongside him, he smiled before pushing again.

The rock finally shifted and they pushed one more time making the rock being pushed to the side, the rock moving created a chain reaction as every other rock that was being held up by it fell down when the rock moved. Roy and the others quickly moved back as the rocks fell down, dust filled the air, they shielded their eyes, when they removed their hands, they saw the entrance to the cave was now open.

Roy wasted no time and ran inside, his crew following after him. He almost lost his footing for a moment as mind felt like blacking out for a moment, his head wound is really getting to him now. Relief washed over him as he saw the wall that Ed put up soon come into his field of vision. He put his hand against the wall and yelled out

"Fullmetal! I came back with help, take down the wall!" Silence met him, concern soon washed away the relief he just felt

"Ed! Answer me!" Again silence answered him. Roy then felt increasingly worried. Why won't he answer, is he unconscious or is he dead? That last thought filled him with dread, as the picture of a lifeless Ed ran through his mind. He kept slamming his hand against the wall hoping that Ed would answer

"Ed! Answer me!" His crew just watched as their colonel called out Ed's name, Havoc walked up to Roy and laid a hand on his shoulder, he felt him flinch before looking at Havoc, Havoc gently pushed him aside and held up a sledgehammer he looked at Roy and asked

"Which side was he one?" Roy shook his head before answering

"The right" Havoc nodded before striking at the wall, he chipped parts of it off as he brought the hammer back and striking the wall again. Roy watched him as he worked, but vision sometimes blurred, he had to rub his eyes to get the blurriness out, he wasn't going to rest until he knew Ed was in safe hands.

It wasn't long before the hammer finally broken through, Havoc started hitting the edges to make the hole bigger, after making the hole big enough for a person to walk in, Roy went up to the hole, but stopped when he saw rocks in front of him, his eyes widened, he looked to the right and he gasped as he saw hand sticking out of the rubble

"Ed!" He walked over the rocks to get to Ed, he started pushing a few rocks out of the way, before finally uncovering half of Ed's body, His face was against the ground and Roy his finger against his neck hoping to find a pulse, relief came when he felt one but it quickly left when he realized that the pulse was slow

"Help me carry Ed out!" He called out to his crew, they came in one at a time and because of how close the rocks were close to the wall Ed put up, the space was pretty small, Havoc and Riza helped Roy move more rocks, they had to disconnect Ed's automail leg as a rock crushed it and they couldn't move it, his other leg was damaged as well, but not as bad as his flesh arm, which had a smaller rock on top of it, he can tell that his arm was broken, they slowly pulled Ed out after removing the rocks. Roy held him in his arms, and he saw how pale Ed was. He noticed a dark stain on his other side, he lifted his shirt and saw another injury

"When did this happen?" His mind went back to when Roy passed out, now that he thought about it, he did hear three shots before blacking out, but when he wrapped Ed's wounds he only saw two. Realization came to him

"This idiot! He was shot three times and didn't say anything!" He removed the thoughts as he realized Ed needed medical attention he can bark at him about this later. As he stood up with Ed in his arms he noticed how the ground beneath where Ed they pulled Ed out had transmutation marks, the thought didn't come to him at the time, but how did Ed survive the rocks falling on top of him? The smaller pieces of rubble that was on top of Ed actually looked like a tunnel, he realized that Ed managed to make the ground beneath him cover him to try to protect himself from the cave in. It collapsed under the pressure, but it managed to save his life.

Roy made sure he got a good grip on him, before walking back into the hole in the wall. Roy looked at his crew

"Let's go" They nodded their heads before Roy started running to the exit, he heard Riza's voice call out to him, he faintly heard it but he did hear something about how his injuries and shouldn't run. He ignored their voices, the only thought was Ed needing medical attention. He saw the light up ahead, a smile appeared on his face

He finally made it out of the tunnel he saw Falman and Fuery waiting besides medics who had a stretcher ready, when the medics saw him enter the light with Ed in his hands they immediately went up to him, they laid the stretcher down and one of them held out their hands to him.

He was hesitant to hand Ed over as the people of this town were willing to kill them, he wasn't sure he can trust them, the medic holding out his hands spoke to him

"Please, to us when a life is in danger we will do what we can to save that life" Roy could see the sincerity in his eyes, he slowly handed Ed to them.

Roy watched as Ed was put on a stretcher, before they carried him to the car behind them, he was about to follow them into the car, but he suddenly felt dizzy and not long he felt himself begin to follow to the ground with darkness filling his vision, he faintly heard his crew yelling out his name, before falling unconscious

Roy gasped as he awoke

He looked around and saw that he was in a plain ordinary room, their was an IV next to him. He reached up to his head and felt bandages wrapped around it, he lowered his hand as he tried to recall the last thing he remembered, he remembered going to investigate a mine, he remembered burning attackers, the mine collapsing and then watching as Ed was put on a stretcher. That last thought made him sit up

"Ed!" He turned his head as he heard a door opening, Riza walked in and she looked surprised to see him awake

"Colonel! Your awake!"

"Lieutenant! Where's Edward!" Rizas expression smiled softly

"Don't worry colonel! He's fine, the people hear managed to save his life" Roy calmed down as he was told the news, he looked back at her

"Where are we?"

"The towns hospital, its small but they managed to do what they can to save Edward, but-" She stopped as Roy started to get off the bed

"Wait Colonel! You had a concussion you shouldn't be getting up!" He ignored her

"I'm going to see him" Riza was going to force him back on the bed, but decided against it and let Roy see Ed, he was after all a worried parent. That thought brought a smile to her face, it went unnoticed by Roy though

Roy with the help of Riza managed to get to Ed's room, he pushed open the door and saw Ed laying motionless on the bed, same as Roy when he woke up their was an IV drip in his arm. He was still pale and his hair stuck to his face from the sweat, his flesh arm was in a cast, even though Ed managed to save himself at the last second, he still sustained injuries, his head was wrapped in a bandage and he had another bandage on his cheek, he had a oxygen mask attached to his face.

Both automails needed repairs, the rocks from the cave crushed his leg leaving it in pieces, his arm did not sustain as much as his leg but it still needed repairs.

"I'll have to call his mechanic for his automail"

Riza let Roy make his way to his bed on his own, he stared at his sleeping face, all the worry and terror finally leaving his thoughts, he heard the door open behind him before hearing Riza's voice

"I'll leave the two of you alone" She exited the room leaving Roy alone with Ed, he grabbed the chair behind him before pulling it over beside Ed's bed and sitting down, his eyes turned sad as he looked at the oxygen mask on Ed's face, on the short way here to his room Riza told him that because of the internal damage he had some trouble breathing so they had to put the mask on Ed to make his breathing easier

He raised his hand to face to get the hair out of his face, but thought against it, so he lowered it back down. He sighed and leaned back against his chair, he scratched his head before looking back at Ed, he noticed a pain expression on his face and he noticed how tightly his fist was curled in

"Nightmare huh?" He gently pried his fist open, but before letting go of his hand, it tightened again, but this time around Roy's hand, Roy gawked at what just happened, he tried to pry his hand loose but Ed's hand just tightened even more, he sighed once more before just letting Ed hold onto his hand, he used his other hand to finally push the hair away from his face, he smiled as the pain left Ed's face, he let his head drop, he knew Ed couldn't hear him but he said it anyways

"Thank you Ed, for not dying, and not breaking your promise" He heard a weak voice speak

"Your welcome..." He looked back up at Ed to see his eyes weakly opened looking at him, with a soft smile on his face

"...you bastard" Roy smiled before letting his hand squeeze Ed's hand

He knew Ed tended to get on his nerves, but right now that didn't matter he was just glad to see Ed alive

Sorry for the crappy ending, didn't know how to end this, if it sucks sorry I kind of rushed since I didn't update this in like a month :(

I don't know why I made this into two chapters I know I said its because their was more to add, but I guess it wasn't as much as I thought, I would of made this into a one shot but that would mean I would have to reupload the story. And I cant update it because it doesn't alert followers that it was updated so yeah

Tell me if their is any grammer mistakes, like missing words or it doesn't make sense, so that I could fix them and update the chapter
