Heart In The Armor (Alphonse X Reader)

What Feels Like The End

"I don't think so!"

A voice cut through the tense air, I look over at Ed, hoping he minds what his next words will be.

"If he has done it with his own volition, that would be one thing." His voice was shaking with anger, and so was he. "But, to make someone participate in human transmutation against their will, and then steal his eyesight, do you think that's justified? That isn't a truth I'm willing to accept!" He slowly stood up, as if he was about to attack Father.

A wicked, bone-chilling smirk formed on his face, as if something wicked where about to happen. Which it did. An explosion set off above us I the tube filled ceiling, and with it, a small girl and a weird panda thing came with it.

"There he is." She said, looking at Father.

"My home has a gaping hole in it. How dare you, girl." Fathers voice was insisting.

"There's no doubting, he's the one behind all of this."

I looked over at Alphonse, still by his side and nudged him a bit. He's got to still be in there.

He then wakes up, his armor shaking and his "eyes" lighting up to their normal red.

"Al!" Ed and I say, the other girl gasping, he sits up quickly.

"Al are you alright?" Ed said, going over to him as we gather around him.

"Teacher... Brother... (Y/N)... Mei.." He gasped when he saw Father, who was now staring right at him.

"And now... All six are here."

"But let's not forget... You told me you reject the truth?" It said, as we all got up and ready to fight.

"Yeah, exactly. And don't go thinking you won just because you got us all here, we aren't going to sit back and let you sacrifice us!" Ed said, getting his hand ready.

"Your words will do nothing to alter your fates." Izumi tried to get Roy out before Father interrupted. "No, none of you will be leaving. Escaping is no use, you're already deep inside my stomach."

The girl, Mei stepped forward. "Mei! What are you doing?" Ed said as she kept walking closer to Father.

"Envy told me you're immortal." She paused. "So you're not denying it. I'll handle this one, Alphonse." She said with confidence.

"Not on your own he's too powerful!" He's right. Facing Father alone she'll easily be killed, and better yet Pride is by his side so who knows what could happen to her.

"It's fine. He can't control my alkahistory."

"Even if you have your alkahistory, you shouldn't fight him on your own. We can help!"

"I'll be alright, just keep the smaller homunculus out of my way."

"She makes it sound like he's the easy one to fight," I said, remembering what happened when we fought him in the woods.

"If he can strong arm us through the gate, why hasn't he done it before?" Ed questioned.

"Fullmetal, Shortly before I was deconstructed, Seliem said it was their last resort, and they didn't have any other choice," Mustang said, in his lonesome stare.

"Which can only mean it carries some kind of risk for them, then we might have a shot."

Ed and Al built a joint wall, as I ran in from the side. Pride started running, as Ed and Al caught up.

"He didn't even try to use his shadows!" Al said, catching up.

"He's hurt, it looks like his skin is flaking off." I pointed out, using my alchemy to build a higher ground to see where he's going. Pride stops and focuses on Ed, then I use my alchemy to drain hydrogen from his body, enough to make him weaker. One of his shadows come after me, which I barely dodge under before landing.
