I want to say this from the star; Al has his body in this. I am not sure just yet if he never lost his body or if he lost it and already got it back, that is a minor detail in this fanfic that I will iron out later on. Also, this is something I could never decided should I use the Conqueror of Shamballa Alphonse or Brotherhood Alphonse for the body? I'm leaning towards the Shamballa one but I want to know which you guys would prefer since it wouldn't change the fanfiction's plot at all.
I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of the characters.
"Don't touch him!" Ed yelled as he struggled to get out of Gluttonys grip, watching as Lust held his brother Alphonse down who struggled to get up and away from the man called Father who looked just like the brothers dad.
"Now, now, don't struggled you two," Father said as he held the Philosophers Stone in his hand, "We don't want our Human Sacrifice to get hurt," He said this directed towards Ed who was the 'Human Sacrifice'.
Ed just glared, "Let my brother go!" He yelled.
Father, and the other homunculi ignored him. Father turned back to Alphonse and knelt beside him, "Lust, if you would," He said. Lust nodded before using her nails that were pinning Alphonse down, to create a cut across his cheek.
"What's he doing to my brother?" Ed demanded as he watched Father drop the Stone on Alphonse's cheek and it went into the cut.
Lust stepped back to stand beside Gluttony as Alphonse let out a scream of pain as the same red electricity like energy that happened on the homunculi when they healed, or Envy when he shapeshifted, seemed to dance over his body.
"GYAH!" Al screamed and gritted his teeth as he arched his back and slammed his face against the ground in pain.
Ed increased his struggles even more, "AL!" He yelled, "YOU BASTARD WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?" He yelled at Father.
Lust answered this one, "He is creating a new Human Based homunculi," She said, "his body is right now trying to either accept or reject the stone, if the stone overcomes him, as it does for most, he will die," She said.
Alphonse let out a scream before looking at Ed, "D-Don't worry, brother-AH!" He yelled, "I...I know what I'm doing!" He let out another scream as his body twisted in pain. It was true, he'd been planning and trying to figure out how to even the playing field and by that he'd need a homunculus on his and Eds side, and the Homunculi just gave him the chance to do that, by becoming a homunculus himself.
Edward gritted his teeth, "AL! Hang in there!" He said, he couldn't believe he was praying to any god that was listening that the stone didn't overcome him, he could handle having Alphonse a homunculus, right? He just didn't want his brother to die.
Alphonse let out a scream of pain and his conscience was instantly pulled into what he presumed was the Philosophers Stone.
He let out a scream as he fell, some of the souls slammed into him, they were all identicle, and lost their singality in this torment.
He managed to upright himself as he continued to fall in the endless abyss when suddenly a a large face emerged from the endless souls. Though it wasn't actually a face, but more like a mask. It too, was red and black, just like the souls.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The thing laughed, and Al could have swore he knew that voice, but he couldn't place a name and face to it.
"Am I really supposed to use this pathetic brat?" He asked, narrowing his eyes to scrutinize Alphonse, "Oh well, hand over your body, I guess I have no choice but to use a human body. It will be interesting I suppose, since you are an alchemist,"
A plan had already formulated in Alphonses mind. What better way to beat your enemy then become something that your enemy was?
"Fine by me!" Alphonse said, I'll help Brother this way, "You can have it!"
He coul have swore the thing was raising an eyebrow as it said the most intelligent thing out there, "Huh?"
Alphonse repeated, "I said come! I'll let you have my body!"
It titled to the side a little, "You know, people normally reject me, I am one of the more ugly sins after all," He said, clearly puzzled by Alphonse so openly accepting the sin.
"I'm not a normal person!" Alphonse argued, why was he prolonging this so much? He needed a body and Al was here willingly to give him his own body, "I'm an Elric!"
The monster just laughed, this human was just so amusing, "I do love that spunk you have, kid," He said and leaned closer to Alphonse, "Just don't go changing your mind about this."
"I'll never change my mind," Alphonse said, "My Brother is in a losing battle against your kind, If I become a homunculus, I can be more useful to him! I will not back down now! And I accept all of the risks!" he yelled, no matter how much Ed argued, the homunculi were beating him.
"Hahahaha!" The monster laughed, "Maybe you should be getting Greed instead of me, that small speech had a bit of greed in it," He laughed and his mouth finally opened, "But lets see if you can stomach it!" He said swallowing Al.
"AL!" Ed yelled as his brother stopped writhing in pain. He watched as his body gave a few twitches before straightening up and slowly standing up and rubbing the back of his neck. He stared at him, something wasn't right, something just felt so horrible wrong when he stared at his brother, "Al...?" He asked.
"Huh?" he asked and glanced at Ed, and the alchemist felt his blood freeze. That wasn't Al's voice, that wasn't Al's voice...That wasn't Al... That wasn't Al that wasn't Al that wasn't Al! That wasn't Al! "You mean the runt I took this body from? Sorry, he just checked out," He said giving a far to wide of a grin.
Ed stared in horror, he knew that voice...he knew it far to well...
"ENVY!"
Chapter One is done. Tell me what you thought, if there was anything I could do to make this better.
Also I used the part when Ling turned into Greed for a refrence on what it's like becoming a Human Based Homunculus. Also for those who might be confused the thing that Al was talking to when he accepted the stone is supposed to resemble Envys true form. I didn't want to get into detail on it because well. I want it to actually show what sin Al was given at the end.
