You'll Be My Hero

Prologue

Rated T, because all my stories are rated T. AU, okay, people. The story starts off with my alternate ending to the series. Pssshh... I have no idea where I'm going with this story, but the idea just popped into my head. :P I hope it's okay. AUTHOR'S NOTE, PLEASE READ: THIS CHAPTER IS A LITTLE CHOPPY, BUT IT WAS MEANT TO BE. IT'S A MEMORY AND IT'S KIND OF A VAGUE MEMORY!!! JUST SO YA KNOW! OH, YEAH, NO FLAMES!!!!!! 2:48 AM when I wrote this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist, that's why I'm writing a fanfiction.

Six years have passed since Edward retrieved Alphonse's body from the other side of the gate. Four years since Edward and Alphonse returned to their original home, Amestris. Edward and Alphonse Elric now live in Central in their own house, which Edward bought with his money from working with the State. Once again, Edward has joined the military, but this time he has advanced to the level of Lieutenant Colonel. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Elric...

"Edward, are you going out on another mission?" Alphonse asked his brother as he saw Edward packing up his suitcase.

"Yeah, that Bastard said it was important that he sends one of his best, so he decided to send me..." Edward gave Alphonse a sly grin and sighed. It just wasn't fun to make fun of the bastard anymore.

"...Brother... You should call Mustang such names... It's mean..."

"Ah, whatever. Just don't get into trouble while I'm gone, okay, Alphonse...?"

"I think I should be the one telling you not to get into trouble, Brother."

"Ah, shut up, Al. I'm going now. Take care of yourself. If you need anything, just call Mustang."

"Yes, Brother."

And with that, Edward walked out the front door and walked to the train station, where Brigadier General Roy Mustang was waiting to see him off. The sun was shining brightly on the two men as they glared at each other (their usual greeting).

"You know, Edward, you'll be gone for over a month this time."

"Yeah, I know. I just feel bad I couldn't tell Alphonse about anything."

"He'll be fine...as long as you return...alive..."

"I'll come back, Mustang! Who do you think you're talking to?"!

"Hah, how could I have forgotten?" Mustang rolled his eyes. "Just be careful, Edward, it's dangerous out there in Drachma... And I need you to come back... You cost me money when you get into trouble!"

Edward let out a low growl and glared at Roy again. Roy help out his hand, intending for Edward to shake it, only to have it knocked away by the little brat. They both were struck with a sense of deja vu and tried not to think about it anymore.

"Just be careful."

"I will."

Edward stepped onto the train, his luggage in hand and his cocky smile still on his face.
