This story was from part of a dream I had and part of pure boredom. Hope you like and no flames like 'This would never happen' cuz I know it never would. Explanations will be in later chapters, and this dosen't take place in a dream even though that's where it originated.
I do not own FMA or it would've ended differently
WARNING THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SERIES YET TURN AROUND AND GO WATCH MORE FMA!
P.S. these are not the real names of my friends but these are based off of kids in my skool, so whatev. They were in my dream and as you can tell if you read Wrecked Up Tidal Wave Dream, I have no control over my mind when I sleep. Honestly, this idea is the only thing keeping me entertained in skool.
Alyssa POV
"Lia! I swear that if you ever hit me with a prop again I will kill you!" I shouted down through the trap door in the stage. Underneath the stage Lia frantically apologized and Rachel laughed.
"Don't think I'll spare you too Rache!" I shouted down through the door.
"Yhea, right, whatever," said Rachel, blowing hair out of her face and walking away from the trapdoor going to get another prop ready.
I sighed and tossed the spear back down to Lia. "Don't hit me this time Li," I said, closing the door and walking to my spot. Up from the platform upstage, Ally was laughing her head off.
"Shut up Ally!" I shouted at her and she only laughed harder.
"You...you...got...ahahaha!" she said between breaths. I rolled my eyes. Being the lead role was sooo much harder than expected. It wasn't the responsibilities, but having to deal with people where I couldn't punch them.
"Just start the scene over, Lia and Rachel need to work with props and we need to work with the fog machine. Get everything working right. Alright, start, from Josh's line 'Enough'," said the director Mrs. McBride.
I sighed and looked over at Hannah. We weren't wearing costumes yet, so Hannah looked very strange standing next to me when she was supposed to be taller. The sixth grader named Josh got done talking to his friend and walked over to his spot next to Ally on the upstage platform. He had the first line.
"Enough. There is no point in arguing. If you want the Philospher's Stone, then you'll have to take it from me!" shouted Josh, getting very into character.
There would be sand flooding the stage later on, or some replacement of the sort. Meanwhile, Hannah and I just did our lines.
"Ahh!" we screamed together as the 'sand' flooded the area.
"Al!" I shouted.
"Ed!" Hannah replied.
"Hold on!"
Josh started to laugh and I turned to glare at him.
"Armour is a disadvantage in soft sand. You can't draw transmutaion circles in it either," Josh said, reaching behind him to press an imaginary button. "Allow me to introduce you to one of my creations. You of all people will be able to apiate this: a chimera."
The two poor kids playing the beast came out stage right and walked on. I turned to my left to look at them. I had my back partially to the audiance so the scene would work out.
"You combined animals, the most depravied kind of alchemy there is."
"Maybe so, but most effective!" shouted Josh eviliy. God, they cast that kid right.
The two kids started to run move towards me, and I looked down at the trapdoor in front of me.
"Alright big fella, you wanna play? Let's go for it! Hah!" I shouted, clapping my hands together and slamming them down on the trapdoor on the stage. It opened and the fog machine turned on. I sharply stood back up. It was then time for Lia to toss me the prop so it would land to my right-
"OWW!" I shouted as the butt of the spear smacked my face instead of my arm this time. Ally cracked up and I stormed over to the trapdoor.
"Just keep going!" shouted Mrs. McBride as I glared into the trapdoor. I sighed and glanced over at Ally who was trying to compose herself.
"H-h-how did you do that without a transmutation circle?" shouted Josh.
The kids lunged at me and I grabbed the prop that hit me earlier. I swung it and struck the pose I was given. The kids recoiled like they were hit and flew over stage left.
"Gah, bring me his head my pet!" shouted Josh to upstage right. He then held up his fist to show the ring with the Philospher's stone. The kids playing the giant bird came out from the corner and lunged at me violently.
I pointed the tip of the spear at the kids, knowing it wouldn't hurt them because A, it wasn't sharp enough to really hurt them and B, their staging wasn't to hit it head on. They turned at lunged from the side and pushed the spear out of my hands. They then grabbed my left leg and pulled it in the air.
"Gyah!" I shouted in fake pain.
"Ah!" shouted Ally is fake concern.
"Haha, now snap it!" shouted Josh cruely.
I smiled, "Wrong leg, pal." I pulled my leg away from the kids and they would've torn off some of my costume pant leg that was re-atachable.
"And here's the right ARM!" I shouted, slinging my arm back to stage punch the kids. They flew back and hit the platform wall like staged. Josh looked down in horror and I stood up straight again, grinning.
Suddenly, the chimera kids who I threw off to stage left jumped back into action and lunged at me. I screamed and Ally ducked down to shield her eyes. I threw up my right arm and the chimera kids grabbed onto it.
"Gyah!" I shouted as the kids lunged onto my right arm. Josh grinned, and then it faded as the kids wrestled with my arm in the air hopelessly like they were told to.
"What's the matter you poor bastard, can't get a good taste?" I asked them. I raised my arm and flung them off, then stage kicking them with my left leg. They flew to the wall of the platform where Ally stood in horror and Josh stood in shock.
"Those claws on your leg, the teeth on your arm! No one could've survived that! Unless...your limbs, they're fake," said Josh, sneering at the end.
"Brilliant deduction"
"Oh God..." whispered Ally.
"Don't look away, Rose. You need to see what happens when you try to bring a human to life, when you cross into God's territory or whatever the hell it is! Is this what you want? Look!" I shouted, acting out that I was ripping of my coat and showing off my automail arm like I would be when we got costumes.
"His arm...his leg, they're machines!" exclaimed Ally.
"Now I understand you, Elric. You crossed the line, you did what was strictly forbidden. You tried to create human life and your bodies were taken to the other side!" shouted Josh.
"Told ya Rose, get too close to the sun, and you burn," I replied.
"Apparently so, but you were crazy enough to find out yourselves. You are the Fullmetal. The Fullmetal Alchemist! You miserable little boys, dabbling in human alchemy without knowing the penalty, you stepped on the toes of God!"
"You don't know the story-" started Hannah, back in the game.
"Al," I cut her off.
"But, we just wanted to see Mom's face again," said Hannah.
"But you failed, didn't you?" shouted Josh.
"Yhea, I'd label that a failure alright. Al lost his whole body and I lost an arm and a leg. I ignored every sign because I was reckless and I wanted it bad enough. Rose, this is what happens when you try to bring back what's dead. You really wanna go through with that?"
"So, this is the great Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. Not even half a man, hell not even half a boy!" shouted Josh.
"And what are you? You're just a phony that can't do anything without a Philoshper's Stone!" I retorted.
"Father, we just want you to hand over the stone before you get hurt," said Hannah.
"Why? So you can use it for yourselves? Please. If you fools are really so eager to play God, then perhaps I should send you to meet him instead!" shouted Josh. He reached behind his back and Rachel, now behind the set, took his cane from him and handed him a prop that looked like a machine gun.
He began firing it, shouting how about how awsome it was once as lights flashed across the stage and the set people moved the wall out for me.
"Nah, me and God, we don't get along too well. Even if I went, he'd probably send me right back here," I said, my hand on the wall so it looked like I transmuted it.
Ally had run down from the platform by then when Josh 'opened fire' on me and Hannah. Hannah grabbed Ally by the wrist and started to run. Josh pointed his prop gun at then and 'fired'. Ally squealed.
"This way!" I shouted, clapping my hands and running towards a set wall. We pushed it aside like it was a door and ran down the stage stairs and across the front. The chorus members outside of my transmuted door stood in shock. Josh jumped down and came to the door.
"We'll don't just stand there, after them! These hethans seek to harm the order, they must be stopped!" shouted Josh as the chorus members began to chase us down the stairs and in front of the stage allowing a set change as we raced around the auditorium.
Halfway down the very back asile next to the wall, a group of chorus members stood.
"That's far enough," said one.
"What are you gonna do boy? You're unarmed and outnumbered," said another.
"Look, just come quietly, we don't wanna have to rough you up," said a third.
I continued to run and smiled, clapping my hand together as I ran and stealthily grabbed a prop to attach to my 'auto-mail' from a box on the ground. I continued to laugh.
The chorus kids screamed and ran and I continued down the asile.
"Don't go easy on him just 'cause he's a kid!" shouted a member down the asile we were running on. Hannah attacked them and we continued to run and there was a blackout.
"Very good! Nice work girls, and Josh!" shouted Mrs. McBride. It was 5 'o clock and play rehersal for the day was over. I sighed and walked over to my backpack and stuff sitting in one of the chairs next to Casey's and Gwen's stuff.
"You did really good," said Gwen, gathering up her stuff to leave.
"You did too, though we didn't run your scene today," I told her. Gwen laughed and Casey agreed.
"Ready to leave?" asked Casey. I turned to where Lia was coming out of the trapdoor on the stage.
"Hold on," I smirked and stormed over. Bonnie and her friends grabbed front row seats in the auditorium. Bonnie would never miss out on me beating up her sister.
"LIA!" I shouted.
"Oh God!"
Rachel cracked up and I harshly shoved her aside. I grabbed Lia's hand and pressured Triple Warmer Three.
"Oww!" she screamed as I pressure pointed her. I then grabbed the prop and threw it in her face.
"DON'T THROW PROPS AT ME LIA, YOU KNOW HOW I GET!"
"I'm sorry!"
"It's ok," I said, smiling. Bonnie gaped from her seat in dissapointment. I turned to walk offstage but not before sweeping an, 'I've go my eyes on you' look.
Casey, Gwen, Ally, Lia and I headed outside to catch our rides home. I climbed in my mom's blue car and we started to drive home.
"How was play practice?" she asked.
"Awsome, as usual. Ever since I understudied Dorothy last year Mrs. McBride has favored me, and now we're doing a musical for Fullmetal Alchemist and I'm playing Ed? Things can't get better."
"Nothing bad happened at all?"
"Other than Lia hitting me once in the arm and then in the face with a prop and me hitting her back, nothing at all!"
"haha" laughed mom as we continued out ride home.
Edward POV
I awoke with a start and looked around. It was raining out and I was totally unaware of where I was.
"Hey Al, you know where we are?" I asked my brother.
No reply.
"Al?" I asked again
Still no reply.
"Al!" I panicked. Where was Al? Oh God, where was my brother?
"AL!" I called but I still got no reply but the sound of the rain pounding down.
"Dammit!" I shouted. I walked forward a few steps and there was a sudden throbing in my head. My knees felt weak beneath me.
"Damn...no, I can't..." I muttered to myself, not even sure what was wrong. I looked around. I was in a ditch of some sort, or a dranige basin. I was near the middle. Several feet behind me was a gateway sort of thing. There was a cicular hole parrallel to me, drilled into the wall of the hill.
My vision started to fade in and out and turn.
"Dammit...I can't pass out now, not when Al could be..." Images ran through my mind. All the horrible things that could be happening to my little brother right now!
However, my body wouldn't listen to my protests and I fell, passing out in the rain.
Ok so there. Chapter one of...well whatever I decide to call it. I guess I left it on a cliffhanger (don't worry, Ed isn't dead, and yes he'll be OK)
This takes place before the ending of the series but after he meets Wrath and Sloth. Somewhere in that 30-40 something Homunculi arc. The play was the part of my dream, tweaked a bit. It will continue so yeah.
Please Review pretty pretty please with a cherry on top and if you don't Ed may never find his brother :'(! P.S. if you do you get a cookie
STFU ABOUT SPELLING THE SPELLCHECKER ON FANFICTION STOPPED WORKING SO JUST STFU (that means you Almiaranger and RainingTearsofChocolate)
