Lemme get some things straight, cuz I bet some of you are confused with my weirdo timeline...thingy.
This is somehow taking place near the end of the series in a way. Roy never met Riza, and his Lieutenant was Ed all this time(yay, Ed's been promoted!). Trisha never died, which I don't know how Ed became Fullmetal for, but Ed still somehow has automail. I don't know how. Yet. This means that Al also never got his body taken away. Hughes also never...did...that...thing...in one episode. And...um...I think that's it...not sure though...I might change something...oh! Hohenhiem never left the other Elrics. They stayed one nice, happy family, until somehow Ed got his limbs ripped off! Yay!...o.o I mean Boo! I mean...ugh, forget it!

In the morning, Roy was abruptly shaken awake by his best friend, Maes Hughes. Roy sat up groggily from where he had slept on the floor, looking up at Maes. "What is it?" He asked.
"You won't believe it, Roy. They said that they found an angel hiding out here!" Maes replied quickly, helping him up.
"What?!" Roy's eyes quickly darted to his bed where she was sleeping; to his horror, she was missing.
"Just come on!" Hughes ran outside, Roy right on his heels. They both ran outside into one of the districts where a mob had formed, screams and the crack of a whip sounding from the center. Roy cursed sharply under his breath, sprinting away from Hughes to push himself through the crowd only to be pushed back.
Roy finally broke into the center. The first thing he saw was the youngest, black haired sin Wrath laughing as he lifted his leather whip again. It lashed through the air, and there was another scream of pain. Ed fell, sprawled on the floor, an angry welt sizzling onto his skin. "Ed!" Roy cried out in shock.
Ed didn't seem to hear him. He glared hard at Wrath, who had lifted his whip again. Behind him, Envy held back a small, brunette boy with large wings that trailed slightly on the floor. Making sure that he was watching, Envy took a thin dagger and grazed it against the angel's arm. He made out a muffled shriek, biting on his lip as the blade cut him.
"Al, no!" Ed yelled, making to stand up again when Wrath cracked the whip across his face. Ed toppled over again, both hands covering his face as he yelled out in pain. Al tried to get to him; lunging out and flapping his wings madly, but Envy grabbed him by the base of one of his wings and tore him back, pushing him into a cage. Al thrashed wildly, screaming Ed's name as Wrath whipped him again. He was choked out by the chain wrapped roughly around his neck. Al kicked his feet out from under him as his torso and wings were chained, then his hands suspended over him.
"Let this be a lesson to all of you! Never try and help this filth!" Wrath spat out, raising his weapon again. "Stop!" Roy screamed, running forward and blocking Ed from further harm. Wrath sneered. "So, if it isn't Mustang. Get out of the way."
"Don't you think that's enough? You've got your fun, and you have the angel. Leave him alone." Roy growled.
"Heh. You think you can tell me what to do?" Wrath's sneer grew as he lifted the weapon again. Roy braced for it, but it never came.
"Wrath. He's right, quit it. The Mistress said not to kill the brat." Envy told him, giving him an irritated look. Wrath cursed, catching hold of his whip with his other paled hand. "Don't expect any mercy from me next time, Mustang." He muttered to him, running the whip hard across his neck, giving him a red streak. He smirked as he and Envy walked off, telling the group of people watching to leave.
As soon as they were gone, Roy immediately dropped down to his knees to check on the blonde. Hughes ran up to him as Roy was trying to pull him up. " Roy, are you crazy?! You could've gotten yourself killed!" Hughes yelled in a panic.
"Yeah, but I didn't." Roy replied calmly, noticing that Ed had passed out. Blood was streaming down his face from a long slash across his cheek from the whip. "Ah, damn." Roy sighed in frustration. "Hughes, can you help me get him into my room, please?"

Roy stood at the doorway of his cabin dumbstruck, carrying the still unconscious Ed on his back. He was staring at where the blonde angel sat, smiling at him when he entered. " Roy, you're back!" Riza smiled.
"Where the hell were you?!" Roy yelled as she jumped off the bed, startled. "What do you mean? I didn't want to get caught before." Riza replied, raising her eyebrows at him. "Angels can hide their appearance from human eyes for a certain amount of time."
"You tell me this now?" Roy grumbled as he laid the younger alchemist on the bed. Riza gasped slightly, covering her mouth with her hand. "What happened?"
"They found out he was hiding an angel too." Roy sighed as he wiped off some of the blood on Ed's face. Riza sighed. "I really should go. I don't want anything to happen to you because of me…"
"We already decided that you're staying here, Riza." Roy answered instantly. Under his hand, Ed groaned slightly, his eyes fluttering open and staying up at the broken ceiling with a dazed look. "Oh, he's up!" Riza knelt beside Roy to look more closely at him. Ed turned his head stiffly to stare at her with wide eyes. "An angel…" He whispered. He sat up quickly, wincing in pain from a rip torn into his back. "Al…! What happened to him?"
"Al? Was that the name of the angel they took from you?" Roy asked, furrowing his eyebrows. Ed nodded slightly. "Yeah, he was my…my friend."
"Ah…how long have you kept him with you?" Riza asked. Ed shot her a confused look. "This whole time." He replied slowly. "You're one of the newer ones…"
"Um...yes?" Riza looked confused for a moment. Ed watched her carefully. "One of the replacements. Some of the angels have been disappearing from their cages..."
"Never noticed that." Roy murmured with a side-glance at Riza, who just shrugged. Ed shook his head distractedly, pushing himself off the bed with the slightest wince. Riza saw and tried to gently push him back down. "You're still hurt. You should rest."
"I have to find out which cage they put Al into. And...I have to see someone." Ed explained hastily, tugging his hand off her and giving her a stern look. She frowned slightly, looking up at Roy. Roy shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't matter; they wouldn't want us trying to heal him anyway."
"That hardly seems fair." Riza argued with an even deeper frown. Ed smiled reassuringly. "I'll be fine. I'll only be gone for a bit."
"Fine. Hurry up." Riza finally sighed, giving up on trying to convince the stubborn boy. Ed grinned cockily and jumped to his feet as if he was never injured, forcing himself not to show the pain it caused and ran out the door.
"He's trying to hard not to worry us." Riza noted quietly, a slight smile on her pale pink lips. Roy nodded with a smirk.

The vast room was lit completely of candle light that flickered awkwardly when reflected by the large mirror Dante sat in front of, taking in every detail of her perfect face. She'd always heard the legend of angel blood being the Elixir of eternal life and youth, but she never thought it would work until now. She was barely recognizable from her previous form now; even her rotting flesh had healed and it was like this body was hers again. Curving her perfectly shaped lips into an amused smile, she dipped her obsidian comb into the small bowl filled with thick scarlet and selected a large lock of hair that she combed the blood into. Each time she swept her hair with blood, it would absorb it completely, growing thicker, shinier, and more beautiful. Her smile widened as she dipped her comb into the blood again and did the same to another lock of hair.
Kiyoko frowned, the smallest crease of wrinkles appearing on her forehead. That damn Dante...we only have a limited supply of the Elixir right now, and she keeps wasting it on herself! Does she really think she'll be able to win him back? She scoffed, a smirk returning onto her face as she stepped behind her. Dante stopped playing with her hair long enough to stare at Kiyoko's flawless reflection in the mirror and tilted her head slightly. "What is it, Kiyoko?" She asked.
Kiyoko smiled gently, burying away all malice towards her. "Remember that boy hiding the angel where he slept?"
Dante frowned, looking annoyed. Of course she remembered, because of him, there had less of the Elixir was available for her. "What about him?"
"The angel's name was Alphonse Elric. He's the son of that other angel, Trisha Elric..." She trailed off, watching the expression on her face with amusement, "...and Van Hohenhiem."
Dante's face shadowed with anger. "Where are you going with this?"
"Edward Elric was the one hiding Alphonse," Kiyoko continued nonetheless, her magenta eyes dancing in sadistic glee, "It can't all just be a coincidence that they all have the same name."
"So...they're brothers?" Dante asked slowly. Kiyoko nodded. "Edward must be an angel too!" Kiyoko suggested excitedly.
"Impossible. He has no wings. It's impossible for them to hide them." Dante replied stiffly, "But that doesn't matter. They must be punished."
"You're just mad because your lover was with someone else." Kiyoko smiled at Dante's scowl. "But yes, they'll be punished. They all seem quite fond of their mother...so I say she'll be our target." She said, her voice dripping with sweetened venom.
"Kill her. That's punishment enough." Dante growled, staring down at the bowl of angel's blood with an angry glared. Kiyoko smiled; a mad glint in her eyes. "I knew you'd say that."
