This is my first FMA fic...so I hope you all like it. And yes...this first Prelude part is the ending of the movie. I just thought maybe I should do this for anyone who didn't see the movie so that they would understand my story...a little bit. But trust me, the next chapter will have chaos!! Yes!
I DO NOT OWN FMA! ...(sigh) Oh well...
Prelude
After going to Shamballa to stop Dietlinde Eckart's terrorism on Liore, Edward returned back to the other side of the gate. He had left his brother, Alphonse, once again so that he could close the gate that had foolishly been opened by Eckart.
He slowly climbed out of the ship to meet a surprising scene. His friend, Alfons Heiderich was laying in Noah's lap. Maes Hughes and other men were in the background watching Ed closely.
"Edward!" Noah called as she noticed Ed walking from the wreck.
"Noah…" Ed replied weakly. "That's right. After all that trouble, I'm still here. Surprise?" He continued. Noah laid Alfons down and stood up to greet Ed. What Ed didn't expect to see was blood…the blood of his roommate on Noah's dress. The former Alchemist looked down in terror at the sight of Alfons' limp body.
"Why? Why would you come back to our world?" Noah asked as she began to approach Edward.
"It's hard to explain…" Ed hesitated. He looked down to a suit of armor that layed beside the wreckage. There was a small pause before a voice came from the armor.
"He came to destroy the gate." Ed turned his attention from Noah to the armor. He knew the voice belonged to his brother, Al. Noah stood by in confusion.
"So you transferred your soul again, huh Al?" Ed asked. He walked over to the armor and kneeled by it. "How long 'till you fade this time?" He continued. Normally this was what his brother would do so that he could see his brother. The alchemy he used never lasted too long, but long enough to exchange a few words.
This time though, it wasn't alchemy. The helmet fell off of the armor, revealing Ed's little brother. Al popped his head out from the armor and smiled. Ed stared at him, astonished.
"Al! What are you doing here?!" Edward exclaimed, watching as his brother loosened some to the different mechanisms on the armor.
"I jumped onto your ship at the last minute, brother. Then I hid inside this armor so you wouldn't find me. General Mustang should be breaking down the gate on the other side right now." Al explained. He continued to loosen the armor so that he could climb out. "And we're going to destroy it on this side right?"
Ed hesistated before answering. "But you won't be able to go home Al." Alphonse had finally gotten himself out of the armor. He stood up and then looked at his brother.
"I want to be at your side brother. No matter what. I want to see the same things you do, learn what you learn, and keep on journeying together. Like those years we were journeying for the stone. Despite all the hardships, those were the best times we had." Ed was still in kneeling position, looking up at his brother with a surprised expression.
"Al…are you telling me your memories are back?" Al nodded. Eversince the two Elric brother's had been separated, Al had lost his memories. The only things he remembered were when they had lost their mother.
"Mhm…When we left our own world, I think."
"Hmph…Equivalent Exchange huh?" Ed shrugged. He then stood up with Al. They both looked up at the ceiling where the gate had been opened. "Destroying that gate is going to be a challenge without alchemy."
"Between the two of us…we'll figure it out." Ed and Al looked at each other for a moment and then back up to the gate.
Yeah...there isn't any originality so this is ALL owned by the makers of FMA. I'm just letting people know what the heck is going on...sort of. Gah, you'll know when my originiality comes up in the next chapter. I'm sure of it!!
