"I got him Al!" Edward said charging forward, transmuting his automail into a blade, before going for the alchemist who was about to transmute the thousands of humans in the cages surrounding him, which one screaming out in terror "You're not getting away with this!" Edward said as his prey slammed his hands down into the circle laid out on the floor "NO!" Ed shouted before it all flashed red.
"That dream again" Ed said sitting up in the bed he was in. "Wait, where am I?" Ed shouted "OH CRAP; I'm in prison" he said scared trying to jump out of bed only to fall flat on his face "WHAT THE HELL?" he asked "WHERE'S MY AUTOMAIL!" he shouted as the door opened "Well seems you've come back to the land of the living" a soldier said, he was dressed in a blue uniform with red and white accents, and in the middle of his chest was a star. "Who are you, and where the hell am I?" Ed asked. "I'm Capt. Steven Rogers, and you're currently in a cell at the Allied base in London" Steve said "London? Oh great the other side of the gate, must have happened when that stone was formed." Ed muttered "What Stone?" Steve asked. "Do you believe in other worlds?" Ed asked. "It could be possible" Steve said "Alright then listen up because I'm only to tell you once" Ed said "It started seemed like a long time ago, it was what around June when it happened.
Me and my brother work with a special branch of the state military dealing with Alchemy; anyway we were sent on a mission to this little town in the north of our country Amestris, the country we're from, anyway the mission was simple find out why people were vanishing; we already had a pretty good idea why it was happening. So we started by asking if anyone new had come into before the disappearances started. Once we found out about this scientist who waltzed in one day; so we tracked him to this abandoned warehouse and what we saw in there I would never forget.
Flashback The mission
"Come on Al help me open the door" Ed said as his little brother walked over "Okay Brother" Al said helping Ed with the massive doors that would not budge an inch "Why are we not using Alchemy?" Al asked. "Because it would attract this dirtbag's attention" Ed said trying open the doors by pulling back "Um Brother" Al said sliding the door to the side. "Whoops" Ed muttered before walking in to see a horrible sight "No" he quietly gasped "Brother?" Al asked fearful of what he was seeing. "No" Ed said a little louder this time, for what the young men were seeing were dozens of people in cages in states of undress "These are the missing people" Al said "And not just them Al look" Ed said seeing the hundreds of cages which like the ones in front. "Don't tell me" Ed said afraid of what he saw "A philosopher's Stone!" Al said shocked "And not just one by the look of things" Ed said "Multiple stones?" Al asked.
Allied Base London
"So this Philosopher's stone is what exactly?" the captain asked. "It's a booster, it enhances our Alchemy, allowing us to transmute anything disregarding the rules of equivalent exchange" Ed said "Which is?" the captain asked. "Something of equal value must be lost in order to obtain something. Another thing is the three stages: comprehension, deconstruction and reconstruction" Ed said "Okay then so this stone will allow you to bypass those laws?" the captain asked. "Yeah; but it comes at a horrible price" Ed said
Flashback mission continue
The room flooded with a crimson light "They're activating the array!" Al shouted "I've got to stop them" Ed said transmuting a spear "Come on Al" Ed said running for the transmutation circle. "Right behind you" Al said transmuting a massive hammer "Hurry up Al" Ed said running down the hallway filled with cages of helpless captives. "HELP ME!" a young woman screamed. The brothers raced to where they would find the circle. "You're too late alchemist" the scientist said. "What do we do Brother?" Al asked "Who cares! Soon I'll create the Heart of Amestris; the largest Philosopher's Stone ever made!" the scientist said "I got him Al" Ed said charging forward.
Allied Base London
"Then I passed out and woke up here with my limbs missing and talking to you" Ed said "I see about these limbs of yours, what are they made out of?" Capt asked. "A mix of Chrome and steel plating over a full steel skeletal frame" Ed said "And how does it work?" Capt asked. "Kind of like a normal limb, you see the big lump of metal on my shoulder; the arm connects into there and connects to the nerves and allows it to be controlled like a regular arm or leg, the leg port's on my knee" Ed said "And trust me its a pain to connect the nerves" Ed said "Alright you've told me your story and I've have to tell you, you pick a bad time to come to our world" Capt said "Why?" Ed asked curiously "Because the world is at war" Capt said "The whole world?" Ed asked shocked. "Yes, and right now the SSO is trying to take down an organization called HYDRA from helping our enemies from taking over the world" Capt said "And right now I'm needed at a debriefing about our next mission" Capt said leaving "Okay then" Ed said "Wait here, someone will bring you something to eat" Capt said leaving the room.
"So what's the mission?" Capt asked pulling his mask on before grabbing his shield "An agent for HYDRA has discovered some long lost relic, we believe it to be some kind of super weapon, they must get it to this sight" a solider said circling a small island off the coast of Sicily "Why there?" Capt asked. "Because people believe that is the last piece of Atlantis" the soldier said "Yes ma'am" Capt said "Captain, we'll have an operative there waiting for you who goes by the codename tiger, meet up with him and he'll lead you to the HYDRA base and there you can retrieve the relic and bring it back into the hands of the Allied forces" the officer said "Understood" Capt said. "Holwing Commandoes to the hangar" the officer said.
Base Hangar
"So where are we going this time" a man in a bowler hat said "The Sicilian coast" Capt said jumping on a plane "Why there?" a british soldier said "HYDRA's base is there and they have something old" Capt said as a rough solider grunted "Problem Howlett?" Capt said as the "When did we become archaeologist?" Howlet asked "Easy Jim" Capt said "Shouldn't we be out hunting CHIMERA?" Howlett asked angrily "Command has ordered us onto this mission James, I don't know why you're so wrapped up with this CHIMERA organization" the bolwer hat guy said "Because Dugan, they're using kids for experiments" Jim said "I know I was there" Dugan said "We all were" Capt said. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Capt's best friend Bucky asked. "No" was the Captain's reply.
On the coast an English solider stood overlooking a team of HYDRA soldiers and scientist "What are you unearthing?" the soldier asked pulling out a pair of binoculars and peering down at one of the mean holding a large red crystal ball "Going to tell a fortune or two hey?" The soldier asked. Suddenly the orb shot lightning into the cliff he was on "Well that was pointless" the solider said before he was implaed by a row of spikes. "I wouldn't think so" the leader of the HYDRA said looking down at the soldiers from a pillar he made "In fact I think my point got across rather well" he said
