A/N H'Okay!...Where do I start? My authors name on here is MorganRoxasWhite, I see you've discovered me. Now, before you go and are liek ''Haii, you, you stoled this from Kaiho Inutaime!" No..No I didn't...You see...I AM Kaiho! :D I just changed my name for cosplay purposes, it is all explained on my profile :) And now for my story :) Yes, it is titled To Raise A Child (Rewriten) That's because I rewrote it :) I had all nine chapters and it was fine! But then I was bored at home and I was like 'Im going to rewrite this for fun!'...and then I liked the rewritten one. SOOO I'm posting it. It's going the same place, and it's pretty much the same thing, but I realize I screwed myself over. I wasn't paying attention and I contradicted myself 100 fold. So I won't be continuing the other one, I'll be working soely on this one :) So please, read it and let me know what you think! :D
DISCLAMER: I do NOT own FMA or any of its characters ):
To Raise A Child Rewritten
Fullmetal Alchemist
Chapter One
The Philosophers Stone. Those who possess it are no longer bound by the laws of equivlent exchange in Alchemy. A gain without sacrifice, create without equal exchange. We searched for it...and we found it.
Seventeen year old Edward Elric looked down at the small red stone in his gloved hand. It had taken the Elric brothers 5 years of pure hell to get their hands on the stone, and after walking through the gates of hell, shaking hands with the devil, and walking back, they got it.
They were going to get their bodies back once and for all.
The thought made Edward grin.
"Edward..."
A stern voice cut through the boys thoughts like a knife through warm butter. He turned around, closing his hand around the stone, and faced the dark haired man behind him.
Roy Mustang.
A good friend to the brothers, no matter how hard Edward tried to deny it. He had helped and witnessed all they had been through, and stuck with them through it all even when life was hard for Mustang himself.
"You ready, Ed?"
Roy asked, a little too, seriously.
Edward just smiled wordlessly, handed the stone to the off duty militant, and walked over to the middle of the recently created array where his younger brother, Alphonse, waited.
Only two days earlier Ed had asked Roy to preform the transmutation. Alphonse and Ed had decided that it would be easier if they were both transmuted at the same time, and that they wouldn't have to chance the entire stone being used up on just Alphonse. Roy accepted gladly, though they had to wait a good six months for everything to calm down before the transmutation was done. They were a long six months, and a couple times Edward almost went off on his own with Al to get the transmutation over with and done.
But there would be no more waiting now. They found an abandoned apartment building, and chose to do it there. They cleared off the second floor mezzanine, and transmuted the abandoned belongings to board up the windows and doors, just incase someone saw the bright lights, they'd for sure have the military up their asses. They were taking a big enough chance right now with the human transmutation, and it was said that if the Philosophers Stone were to be retrieved, it was Military property. Roy was turning his back and it was a huge chance.
Especially with being Fuhrer.
Standing in the center of the array now, Edward nodded towards Mustang, silently giving him the O.K.
Roy nodded back and got, gently, onto his knees. He placed the red stone carefully against the rim of the array, and looked at it softly.
This had better work...he thought. For them...this better work..
He looked back up to the brothers one more time before clapping his hands and slamming them against the linoleum floor. Almost instantly the room filled with a sour yellow light, and the wind picked up swirling in a perfect circle around the boys. Staring at the scene, Roy couldn't help but smile.
"Its working..."
He spoke aloud.
"It's working!"
He laughed to himself, and as soon as he began to laugh, the sour yellow turned to a violent purple, and his smile faded. The wind had become harsher, and the lights around the room exploded. Roy ducked from the flying glass that had now wound itself into the violent wind. With panic setting in, and his heart racing, Roy pulled his hands away from the circle, and the purple light exploded, sending Roy flying across the room.
He hit his head on the floor, and blacked out immediatley.
A/N So! What do you think? As I said earlier, some of the chapters will be the same, others won't. This is the same idea but I added a bit more discription, and it ended differently. So please, don't hate! Review! And let me know what you think :)
