Chapter 1
The metal boat docked on the large bay. over 100 people came flooding out all in different heights. all wearing green tunics with almost everyone having brown and black hair. and in the midst of all of them was a blond teenager walking next to a suit of 7 ft armor. the guy was short and wore a red coat with a strange black cross and a snake wrapping around it.
on the dock waiting for them was a girl with red hair that was short in the back with two wisps braided in front with two hair loops leading into pigtails. She had her arms folded and a scowl on her face, looking at the blond boy. she wore a blue jacket and dark brown cargo pants.
The girl looked at the suit of armor, "Hello Alphonse!"
The armer bowed politely.
"Oh hello Major Sky!" The boy with blond hair said in a deeper voice that the age he appeared, with a smile.
"FullMetalā¦" she said with you will die eyes, staring deep into his soul.
"Kathe?" he stared up at her eye twitching, "What's wrong?" he asked forcing a smile. Not prepared for what was coming next.
Kathe went into full on anger chibi mode, " YOU'RE NOT WEARING THE UNIFORM!" everyone else stared at the foreigners. She huffed for a few moments trying to catch her breath then she looked around realizing that everyone was staring at the three of them with weary eyes. Mostly Fullmetal and Alphonse.
She looked around quickly for an escape route. After finding a break in the crowd she grabbed the wrist of Fullmetal and Alphonse, and dashed through the crowd.
As she pulled them along most people ran off to the side then she turned into a small dark ally. Kathe plopped Full Metal on the ground and spoke in an angry whisper, "Edward you should've died your hair before you came! You stick out like a sore thumb!"
"Well how was I supposed to know that!" Edward responded in an even angrier tone.
"You wanna go Short Stuff?" She began to roll up her sleeve.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TINY BEAN WHO CAN'T BE SEEN WITHOUT A MICROSCOPE!" Ed said in his angry chibi mode.
"Hold on guys well stand out even more if we use alchemy," Alphonse pushed the two apart, "Also dont u guys remember what the Colonel said," Al tried to mimic his voice going into chibi, "You guys should know better than to reveal alchymy to nations outside our own nation or something like that."
Both of them looked away angrily but then they looked back at each other blushed and looked away. Then Kathe stood up and said, "Well we better change the color of your clothing they might think your Fire Nation."
"Fire nation?" Ed questions
"I'll explain later. Take off your coat and then change the color. I'll keep watch" she went to the end of the alley and looked up and down the street.
Edward sighed, "Hey Al, how did we get ourselves into this mess?" Ed took his red coat off and laid it on the ground. clapping and placing his hands on it.
"I don't really know brother, but remember were here to find out if anyone know anything about the philosopher's stone." Al responded quickly.
While Kathe was waiting she heard a skirmish down at the docks but she couldn't worry about that now, 'cause two men that she had run into earlier were coming down the street looking for someone. She ducked into the alleyway.
"Edward hurry up!" she said in an angry whisper.
He looked back extremely annoyed, "Ok i'm done now!" slipping on the Green coat that used to be red. and putting up his hood over his now black hair. Then something extremely unexpected happened. She grabbed him by the collar (him being shorter than her) rushed forward jumped onto Al taking off the head and pushing Ed into the empty suit of Armor.
Placing the head back on she yelled to Al, "RUN!" pointing forward to the street and latching on for her life.
Al ran with Ed inside him to the alleyway exit, knocking over the 2 earthbenders. He ran off yelling back, "Sorry!"
"I'm NOT!" She waved her hand without even looking backwards. And they continued running while she laughed.
"When i get out of hereā¦" Ed said angrily trying to push the head off.
Kathe keeping the head down said into the armor "Oh hush little bean it'll be over soon"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HALF PINT LITTLE MIDGET!" Ed yelled angrily out of the armor.
"Brother stop i can't Run very fast while you're moving like that," Al interrupted calmly.
Then a flying rock almost knocks Kathe off the armor. She looked behind them too see what caused it. She saw the two men running quickly toward them.
She muttered angrily, "Earthbenders.."
Both of them stomped down making the ground crack and everything fall in. Even the towns people freaked out moving off to the sides.
"AL JUMP!" Kathe yelled as the ground right under them crumbled. At the highest part of the jump she pushed back with her hand. There was a spark then air and rushing them forward. Ramming them into a 12 year old kid completely bald wearing arrow tattoos. it sent them all flying backwards.
Kathe was thrown into a cabbage stand crumbling it to rubble.
"MY CABBAGES! this place is worse than Omashu," he was about to burst a bubble when Kathe apologist quickly then hopping back on Al they were about to run away when she noticed the kid they ran into stirring.
She was about to hop off to help then two other kids dress in blue ran up and helped him get back to his feet.
The boy had a ponytail and said, "Come on Aang! they're gaining on us!"
But from the direction they were coming from she heard one of the men say, "There she is!" She turned around in fright. Then from the direction where the kids had come from she heard different men saying, "There they are!"
The kids ran off. She stared at the bald kid and said to Al, "After that Bald Kid!"
"What?" Al asked hesitantly.
"Just Go! That's and order!" Al started running after the Bald kid with the arrow while the two groups following yelled what they were after.
"Get the Girl!" The two men yelled throwing two more rocks.
"Get that Waterbending scroll!" the other group leader yelled that was after the three kids.
'It can't be it just can't be the avatar! I thought I was the last airbender!' Kathe thought in her head.
