[This video begins with an explosion. When the dust and debris clears, Al is sitting up, his arms outstretched. Or rather -- His armor is. It's barely Al anymore. Just an empty shell.
With a crash, the armor falls backwards, showing that the bloodseal, while in tact, is dried and beginning to crumble. The entire front of his "body" has been ripped away, leaving it exposed.]
Alphonse-Sama![A girl with two long black braids, dressed in the Xingian custom, kneels beside him. All around them, flames explode out of thin air and rubble flies toward some central target beyond the camera's view.]
Brother... run....
Mei, I need your help. Brother sacrificed his arm to pull my soul back to this world. It was equivalent exchange. Therefore, the opposite must be true.
Alphonse-sama, what are you saying?Just make me a path. You can do it.
But Alphonse-sama, you'll-- There's no time. There's no...
Please. You're the only one who can help me.
[Al raises his hands in a slow clap.]
Al? What are you doing? No! Stop! Al--! Brother... win.
[There's the unmistakable crackle of a transmutation, a scream of
"KHAAAAAAAAAN" "NOOOOOOOOO", and, before the screen fades to white, Ed can be seen in the distance, both his arms whole and human. He doesn't hesitate for a second, turning on his doppleganger and going -- well, a little crazy. And then the screen goes blank.
Al's back at the gate, his brittle body still sitting there.]
Are you ready now?Yes. All we can do is believe in our brother.
[His body smiles, and holds out a hand, just like before. This time, he reaches out and takes it. His body seems to disintegrate and blow away, even though there's no wind. Then it's just Al, back in his rightful body.]
[OOC: For once, Al has nothing but time to respond to comments.
Armor!Al
May Mei
Edward
Al's body]
