Transmutation Alchemist 7

~Execution~

Sam's thrown into a jail cell landing on her face then sat up, hugging her knees together and started to cry. "What did I ever do to deserve this? I know dad said we had to move because of the war but I didn't think he and mom and Brandon would get killed for it. Now what do I do, Ed Al if there was ever a time I needed you guys; now would be a very good time." Sam sobbed, hugging herself. Ed and Al walked back to their room thinking of a plan to save her. "How are we going to save Sam, this is the military we're dealing with." Al said, looking at Ed. "We'll find a way because I won't let someone as innocent as Sam die." Ed said angrily. "But brother, you might get your watch taken away." Al pointed out, worried. "I don't care, Sam's safety is more important." Ed yelled. "Brother... Al said sadly, Ed goes into his room followed by Al and lays on the bed thinking of a way to save her.


That night, Sam was laying on her cell bed just thinking about everything that has happened. The same images ran through her mind, the fire, Ed and Al, the General, the man that was sent to kill her family, they kept going on and on like a broken record. Sam finally fell asleep still thinking about tomorrow. A few hours later, she heard some mumbling on the other side of a wall, she put her ear to it but can still only hear mumbling. Then all of a sudden her burn glows and she could hear them perfectly, it was Gran and Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang on the other side of the wall talking to each other. "I would like to call off the execution, sir." Roy said, looking at Gran. "Permission denied." Gran simply said. "What!?" Roy said. "That girl rejected her fate long ago and now she's going to accept it." He explained. "She doesn't deserve death as a fate." Mustang said, glaring at Gran. "That's because you let her go." Gran told him. "What does he mean?" Sam blinked, thinking to herself. "I did the right thing, sir." Mustang said, looking at him. "You're lucky you weren't decomissioned on the spot." Gran said, Mustang glared at him.


"Sir, your killing an innocent child." Mustang said angrily. "There should be less children in the world anyway." Gran said, Sam gasped. "You let Fullmetal stay in the military this long, sir." Mustang pointed out, Gran huffed. "I should've known you went soft on me, Mustang." Gran said, looking at him. "You're a coward, just like that girl's family." "Call me what you want sir, but I won't back down." Roy said, leaving and Sam takes her ear off the wall and starts to think. "What did he mean by "let her go'?" Sam said to herself, she went back to sleep and in the morning she was woken up by rattling bars. "Wake up, girl." The guard said, looking at her. "What time is it, sir?" Sam yawned, sitting up. "It's about ten." The guard told her, looking at his watch. "Oh no, I got two hours left. I gotta think of something, and fast." Sam got up, pacing around.


Ed and Al were up since eight that morning and they couldn't think of a plan. "What are we gonna do, we can't just barge in and stop the execution." Al said, pacing. "We have to think of something Al, I'm not letting Sam get killed." Ed said, pacing as well. As Ed starts to walk out of the door, two guards with guns point at him and tell him to go back in. "Damn, the General sent some guards to keep us company." Ed said, coming back in as the guard shut the door. "We have to help her brother, but how?" Al said, two hours later Ed gets an idea but Al doesn't like the sound of it. "Are you sure about this, Ed?" Al blinked. "Positive." Ed said, he fell on the floor clutching his stomach. "AAAGGGGHHHH!!!" The guards burst through the door wondering why Ed was screaming. Al comes up behind them and knocks them both out, they start running down the halls heading for the parade grounds. Ten minutes before the execution and Sam didn't have any ideas. "Ten minutes and I can't think of a way to get myself out of this." Sam shivered, the guard opens the door and tells her that it's time. He ties her hands together in front of her and she starts to get upset. "They'll come to save me, I just know they will." Sam thought to herself, she was lead onto the paradegrounds with all of the officers looking at you. She stepped inside the white circle that was drawn and Gran comes out carrying a briefcase, he stops about one hundred feet in front of her and opens the briefcase. Inside is a handgun, he fills it with one bullet. "Ladies and gentlemen, because she has denied her death eight years ago today she will see her family." Gran pointed his gun at her. "Tell your family I said 'hi'." He puts his finger on the trigger and starts to pull on it, Sam closes her eyes tightly when all of a sudden.........


Stonespikes start heading towards Gran and they surround him then Sam heard two very familiar voices. "SAM!" The Elrics yell, running to her. Sam opened her eyes, gasping. "Ed, Al! Boy am I glad to see you." Ed unties her while Al is yelling at Gran. "How could you do this to her family. "Your a sick twisted man, General." Ed growled, Gran runs towards Sam and Ed but Al gets in the way and him and Gran are pushing against each other with their hands. "I can't believe you would do this!" Al said angrily. "This is how life is, you give and you take." He said throwing Al out of the way and takes out his gun, Ed steps in front of Sam and spreads his arms out. Gran pulls the trigger and the bullet goes into Eds' chest and he fell to the ground. "ED!!!" Sam gasped. "BROTHER!!!" Al gasped, running to him.


Sam puts her hand on the back of his head, tearing. "You idiot, why did you do it?" Sam sniffled. "I wanted to....protect you." Ed cringed, coughing up some blood. "That didn't mean you had to take the bullet for me." Sam's tears fell down her cheeks. "I...wanted to." Ed said weakly. "I'm so sorry Ed." Sam said sadly. "For what?" Ed blinked. "Sorry I got you into this, if we hadn't met none of this would've happened." Sam said, crying. Ed puts his hand on her cheek. "It's not.....your fault, none of this.....is." "We need to get you to a hospital." Sam said sadly. "That...won't help." Ed said weakly, shaking his head. "You're not going to die on me, Ed. I won't let you!" Sam sobbed, putting her hand on his hand. "I'd rather die....knowing that you're safe. Take care of Al for me and I......"  Ed was about to say, his hand drops off her cheek and hits the ground. "Ed? Ed please stay with me, Al needs you!" Sam put her hand on his chest, feeling that his heart has stopped beating. She bit her lip, crying more. "No...." Everyone in the crowd bow their heads, Hawkeye crosses her arms arms and looks at the ground hiding her tears, Mustang looks on with anger in his eyes and Hughes lowers his head and starts to cry. "Brother, you can't be dead!!!" Al sounded like he was crying even though he couldn't, Sam hugged Ed's head crying. "You and Al were the greatest friends I ever had, you guys were the only friends I ever had." While Sam was crying she feels a pain in her shoulder, her burn was glowing again. All of a sudden, Ed starts to glow and Sam and Al back away from him.


Sam watched as the bullet comes out of Ed and lands in her hand with no blood on it. Ed's wound closed and he stops glowing. Sam and Al exhanged glances, then Sam saw Eds' finger flinch and make a fist. "Sam..." "ED!" Sam smiled, hugging him like crazy. "Ed, you're alive I'm so happy." Sam smiled, hugging him. "Brother!!!!" Al smiled, hugging him. "Isn't that cute? But I'm afraid that this lovefest has to end." Gran said, getting ready to punch the ground. All of a sudden, Gran starts burning and is covered in fire as he yelled in pain. When it goes out, Gran sees Mustang standing there with his hand up. "Colonel Mustang, how dare you disobey me." Gran said angrily. "You look a little steamed, why not cool off  in jail." Mustang said, the guards behind him restrained Gran. "I'll get you for this, Mustang." Gran said, getting cuffed and put in the jail truck while Sam and Ed got up. "When I get out, the girl and that pipsqueak are dead." "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A-." Ed yelled, Sam put her hand on his shoulder and he smiled at her. Al smiled happily. "I'm so glad you're alive." "But how?" Ed blinked.


"I think my burn saved you, Ed. I think it gave me healing powers." Sam smiled. "That's.....kinda creepy." Ed said. "What's that supposed to mean?" Sam glared at him. "Nothing, except you're a shorty." Ed ran away while Sam ran after him, Al follows them and Sam and Ed keep running until nightfall. Ed finally stops and Sam tackles him sitting on his back holding his hands behind him. "Say it, Ed." Sam said, sitting on him. "Never." Ed said, struggling. "SAY IT!!!" She said, pulling on his arms. "No." He said. "Say it or I'll break your automail." Sam pulled harder, Ed cringed. "Fine, your the prettiest girl on the face of the earth." Ed sighed.  "Aaaand?" Sam loosened her grip a bit. "And you're not short." Ed groaned, Sam got off of Ed and helped him up. "Ed? Will you teach me to do alchemy?" Sam asked him nicely. "If I'm gonna avenge my family's death, I might as well learn it." "Sure, you saved my life so I owe you." Ed smiled. "I'll help too." Al smiled. "Thanks guys, you're the best." Sam smiled, they all went inside and had lunch together.
