Summary: Edward an Alphonse join the war in Drachma, so does Winry. They fight different wars everyday in different ways. Here's the kicker, they don't know each other's here. When they finally see each other its bitter sweet moment, and the brothers watch Winry get stolen away to be held hostage and torched for information. How are the Elric's going to bring her back alive when they need help themselfs? Are they even going to bring her back? Told from both perspectives.
A/N: Okay so here we go my first main chapter story. I hope this turns out good I started one but it didn't get any reviews so figured it was crap DX. BUT NEVER FAIL! I'm trying this again! Like I said I like reviews or my confidence goes low and therefore removing my stories ha-ha. Alright now to the story ^^
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist in anyway shape or form.
Chapter one: This is war
"Do you have everything? How's your automail? Do you need extra oil? If you ever need a repair you know my number." Winry spoke like a mother watching her child go away for the first time. The train bell rang loud enough to rattle her bones. Winry looked up to stare at the eyes she loved so.
"Thank you Winry, for everything. I'll be back as soon as I can, you know Mustang how he can be. Damn bastard." Edward cussed, and then gave her a dazzling smile.
Winry felt a faint pink rise on her cheeks. "Y-you two call me when you get to central! Now off you go, the train won't be here forever. Alphonse, make sure you guys call me. Have a safe ride tell Riza I say hello," Winry shoved the two boys into the train and handed their luggage to them as they got in.
"Bye Winry! See you soon!" Alphonse yelled out the window as the train squeaked away. Edward watched as he saw Winrys striking blue eyes go farther and farther away, her hair blowing in the wind from the train, then she was going, going, gone.
"Bye Winry…" Ed whispered to himself. "Al, you know it will be awhile until we see her, right?" He spoke with a low tone.
"Yes I know brother. I just can't stand the fact that we lied right to her face." Alphonse said in an equally quiet tone. "How long do you estimate we will be gone for?"
"At least 1 year. Maybe 2 it depends on the war." Edward thought about what he was getting himself into. Winry knew Mustang called him to go into central, but she didn't know it was for the war in Drachma, and Edward would be in the front lines of duty. Every moment of the day fighting for his country, his people, and most of all her. He told her he had to leave the next day after the fateful phone call; she put on her brave face, as she normally would, and smiled sadly. Ed knew, no doubt, she would be crying later that day, and it pained him to think of her crying again because of his stupid duties. "Let's get this damn war over with," Ed decided. "I want to be home before I'm 30!" They laughed off their worries.
"Ed, wake up, get your stuff we're at central." When did I fall asleep? Ed thought to himself. He stretched his arms out, scratched his head and then reached above him to get his luggage. They walked out of the train silently and saw a familiar pink sparkle above the millions of head in the train station at central.
"Shit… Al dunk before he spo-"
"ELRICS!" A booming voice slithered its way to their ears and in-between the swarming people. Everyone stopped and made their eyes to the now very red boys. "HOW NICE FOR YOU TO BE IN CENTRAL AGAIN."
"Kill me now Al," Ed spoke to his brother. "SHUT UP ARMSTONG YOU'RE DRAWING A CROUD!" Ed yelled to the giant sparkling man.
"Ed! Don't talk to Major Armstong that way. Hello Major, thank you for picking us up. I presume the car is outside? Are you taking us to Brigadier General Mustang?" Al asked politely.
"What? That bastard got promoted? When? Why?" Ed asked in shock. The major just laughed.
"All in time Edward Elric, all in time…" Major spoke and then took a brisk walk to the awaiting car.
"What thehell was that about?What's that suppose to mean Al?" Ed walked away then noticed his brother not replying or following him to the car. He looked over his shoulder and asked "Al?"
"All in time brother…" Al replied with a creepy look on his face.
"Ahh shut up Al!" Ed laughed and put his arm around his brother and walked to the car laughing.
When they got to central many friends greeted the Elrics, most they haven't seen since the promise day. Edward told Riza Winry says hi she smiled and nodded. She then led the brothers too Mustangs office. "Suit up we leave tomorrow." Mustang said monotone as he tossed the boys military uniforms. Al's looked like a normal military uniform but lined with black fur, Ed's uniform was the same but was lined with white fur.
"Sir, where exactly are we going?" Alphonse timidly asked.
"Briggs. Be expected to be gone for more than 2 years." Mustang said without looking at either of them.
"Briggs! That's so damn far! Why 2 years! I was expecting 1 year at the most!" Edward yelled.
"Grow up," Mustang replied calmly. "This is war."
A/N: I felt like that was written well. I need my reviews though! I won't continue you this story unless I get at least 3 reviews! The next chapter has a twist in it from Winrys part. What will it be? What should it be? PM me if you want to give your opinion on what the twist should be. I have an idea but I'm not sure if I will stick with it. Sorry for the long A/N REVIEWS MY PEOPLE!
