Full Metal Alchemist: Homunculi Reborn

Chapter 1: Pride's Return

(It's been about two years since Ed and Al have returned to their world. But just yesterday something awkward happened….While Ed was investigating the mysterious disappearance of the team mustang sent out to search the desert outside of Ed' s home town of Resembool for the arrest of the renegade Ishballan's he found something. A gate…it looked like the same gate they destroyed two years ago. It was open and surrounding it were the bodies of mustang's men….even Armstrong was dead. Nothing was inside the gate. Ed peeked in for a closer look and he heard a voice. It was silent but he understood what it said "I'm Back". That voice! It's sounded like Pride's. After hearing that Ed began to run all the way back to central to warn the Fuhrer Mustang what he discovered… Ed only hoped that he was wrong… if that was Pride the first place he would go would be after the new Fuhrer Mustang…for revenge)

(Back at central)

Mustang- (Push's button on com) Riza I need to speak to you. Can you come in here for a minute?

Riza- Yes sir!

(A moment passes and Riza Hawkeye enters)

Riza- Yes sir you wanted to see me..sir?...MUSTANG!

Mustang- (Wakes up from trance) Huh…o sorry I dozed off for a second there (smiles)…How is are treaty with the Ishballan's holding up.

Riza- Pretty good sir. They have been cooperating with us and giving us no troubles...why do you ask?

Mustang-Haven't you heard of what's happened a little while ago?

Riza- What sir?

Mustang- About what's been happening in the desert outside of Resembool.

Riza- …No what's wrong?

Mustang- We got a call about a lot of gunfire and screams coming from there. Something terrible must have happened. The town folk said they saw some Ishballan's heading up there with guns so….we sent out some of are men and Armstrong to investigate and they still have not returned…so I sent Edward Elric to investigate….

(Phones rings)

Mustang- Hmm…Riza hold on for a minute.

(Mustang picks up the phone)

Mustang- Hello?

Ed- Fuhrer you need to get out of there it's not safe I think…

Mustang- (Cutting Ed off from his sentence) Ed? You don't have to call me Fuhrer. Call me Mustang…sorry resume what you were saying.

Ed- …okay. You need to get out of there I think your in terrible danger!

Mustang- Why do you think that?

Ed- Well when I went to investigate I found something…it was the gate.

Mustang- The gate! You're joking right. Why and how was it out there!

Ed- I don't know but when I got there it was open and empty…I heard a voice.

Mustang- A voice?

Ed- I am pretty sure that it was Pride's voice.

Mustang- Pride! That's impossible he…DAMNIT! What happened to all of my men that I sent out there before you!

Ed- …They were all dead. Blown to pieces or slashed up…even Armstrong

Mustang- …Armstrong is dead…okay I'm going to evacuate everybody…Ed meet me at Resembool once I…

(There is a loud explosion then an alarm sounds)

Ed- Mustang! What's going on!

Mustang- Shit! Ed I have to go.

Ed- Musta..

(Mustang hangs up the phone)

Mustang- Riza get out of here now!

Riza- No! I will protect you even if it means I have to die to do it!

(More explosions and screams erupt through the building)

Mustang- Get ready then…

Riza- (Shakes her head and gets her gun ready)

(The door bursts open)

Mustang- …

(Pride walks in holding his usual saber…but there is something different about him. His left eye were the patch and the ouroboros used to be are not there…all that is there is a glowing red crystallized eye and he also has a few scars on his face)

Pride- Hello Fuhrer remember me?

Mustang- Pride…you can't be here I killed you years ago.

Pride- Well your right I should not be here but I am.

Mustang- How!

Pride- Lets just say I found a way…I'm not here to talk to you Mustang.

Mustang- Riza run!

Riza- No!

Pride- Yes Hawkeye I would leave if I was you.

Riza- You're going to have to make me!

Pride- Well since you insist!

(Prides lest eye flash's blood red. He sticks out his left hand and a strange red light engulfs Hawkeye)

Mustang- Riza!

Riza- (Screams)

(Riza's flesh is ripped clear off her body…all that's left is a bloody skeleton)

Mustang- (Almost in shock and tears) Riza!...Pride! How did you do that

Pride-Haven't you noticed…what is in my left eye.

Mustang- …red…it can't be…the philosopher's Stone!

Pride- Bravo (Claps) the Fuhrer deserves a medal.

Mustang- But how! How did you get it and how did you do that!

Pride- Simple someone gave it to me while I was back in that other world.

Mustang- What…who?

Pride- I don't know who he was but he sure knew me…he told me there was a way to make it so that if the stone was in my body it would amplify my power by the thousands. So he ripped my eye out and implanted it in there somehow. Now I can do alchemy even without drawing a transmutation circle or clapping my hands together. I can do other stuff that's not alchemy to. Like…

Mustang- ( cutting him off from his sentence) I don't care…does that mean your power AKA the all seeing eye can't be used anymore?

Pride- Nope I can still use it weird huh.

Mustang- (Bursts out in anger) Your going to pay for killing Riza!

(Mustang snaps his fingers and sends fire towards Pride)

Pride- FOOL!

(Pride sticks out his left hand and it absorbs the fire)

Pride- Such a useless power…but I'll show you true power!

Mustang- What!

(Pride appears so fast in front of Mustang it looks like he never moved.)

Pride- If you manage to survive this make sure you tell Ed and Al I said hi.

(Prides eye glows blood red again. He puts his left hand on Mustangs chest and a force so powerful comes out of his hand that it sends Mustang flying out of his window and straight through a building in the distance.)

Pride- Well now that that's over with I only have two objectives to finish for him right now. Bring "them" back…and kill Edward and Alphonse. That's what he wanted. (laughs)
