A/N: This is a crossover between Full Metal Alchemist and Hercules (Disney version). I don't own anything, I'm just combining these two the best it can.
Basically, the Hercules plot with FMA characters. I am going to adapt the situation to match the characters.
I hope you'll like it!
Enjoy:
A long, long time ago, in a country called Greece, humans were once glorifying great gods.
Gods lived in three places: in a castle in the sky, with Hoenheim, the Golden god, in a palace under the sea, with Buccaneer, the god of waters and in the underworld with Greed, the god of death.
The greatest of all, Hoenheim, the one that had defeated the Titans, the one and mighty, was having the time of his life.
He and his wife Trisha, were throwing a party for their newborn son. All the gods were invited, and all of them were very happy to participate.
Well, all but one.
Greed, the ruler of the underworld, wasn't that happy with this party. He wasn't happy with anything, actually.
Hoenheim was just talking to Maes Hughes, one of his best friends and the messenger god, about his son.
"You know," Hughes said, "the kid really is something. He's going to be big someday."
"I know," Hoenheim sighed. "How's your girlfriend?" he asked, talking about Gracia, a human woman Hughes liked.
"Ahh I just sent her a letter!" the messenger god replied happily. "I hope she liked it!"
"I'm sure she did."
"Hello Edward. How are you?"
The little blonde boy chuckled and kept playing with some toys from the huge pile of gifts he got.
"What gift should we give him, dear?" Trisha asked Hoenheim.
"Well, how about a horse?"
"A horse?" Hughes raised an eyebrow and was about to say something about what could a kid do with a horse on a cloud, but Hoenheim quickly added:
"A flying horse! We could name him Den."
Trisha smiled. Of course her husband would come up with something so unusual.
The Golden god, Hoenheim moved his hands in the air. This would make an average person look like a lunatic. But when it was him waving his hands in a barely visible cloud, people were stunned. Very powerful alchemy was happening in front of their eyes.
After a few seconds, shadows appeared in the said cloud. The shadows turned into shades and shapes. A small horse appeared out of nowhere.
"This is Den. And he's all yours, son" the Golden god smiled showing the horse to his son.
Ed smiled at Den. The horse licked his hand.
Hoenheim took his son in his arms.
"You're so small!"
Greed smirked. He was watching his older brother from a shadowy spot along a cloud wall. So this was little Edward. The little brat.
"How touching," he said, coming out of the shadows.
The gods looked sternly at him, but he just walked by making random comments.
"Hey, Gluttony, you're thinner than the last time I saw you. Nice glasses, Hughes. Riza, goddess of wisdom, how about we go somewhere and you teach me some things?"
Greed took the sword that flew towards him as a no.
"Easy there" he said grinning and avoiding the sword. "Nice dress" he told Lust, the goddess of love.
"Take your sleazy eyes off me" her sensual voice replied.
"Greed!" Hoenheim exclaimed hugging his brother, who seemed disgusted by his action. "I'm so glad you could make it! How are things in the underworld?"
"Lovely. We're as dead, dark, tenebrous and eerie as usual. Hello little Edward" He grinned, showing his sharp teeth.
Edward chuckled and touched Greed's hand, making him retreat mumbling.
"Damn the little brat. He turned my ultimate shield into hell knows what."
"Oh, he knows alchemy already." Trisha smiled at Greed. "Just like his father, he's very smart"
"Right" Greed replied dryly. "Well, I've got to go"
"Already? Come on!"
"Sorry, Van. But, you see, unlike you guys, I actually have stuff to do. Deaths to count. Meetings to attend." The avaricious god said.
…
Greed arrived back to his place, after he travelled along the Styx river, in the same boat as a skeleton.
"Envy!" He called his subordinate.
"Yes, fucker of the underworld?" Envy answered rolling his eyes. He hated having to serve Greed.
"Let me know when the Fates arrive"
"They're already here" he said bored.
"What!" Greed snapped. "You idiot, they're already here and you didn't tell me?"
"It's not like I care" Envy said, but the god didn't hear him. He was on his way to see the three Fates.
"Ladies" Greed grinned amiable as he entered the large cave. "I am sorry that I am-"
"Late," one of the fates said.
They were old, ugly and pretty much hard to stand. But a man had to do what a man had to do.
"We knew you'd be late"
"We know everything"
"Past"
"Present"
"And future"
'Great. Just great. But sadly I need those bitches to tell me the future. So I can't just tell them to go to hell. No. I have to play nice.' Greed thought.
"Well, you see, I was at this-"
"Party" one of the fates finished his sentence.
"Lost track of time" the other added.
"And you now want us to tell you the future…?"
"…So you will know if little Edward has anything to do with your plan to take over the world?"
Greed blinked. "Basically, yes" he replied.
"I don't think we should tell him," one of the fates said. "It's secret!"
"Ladies." He said, trying to prevent a failure, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It's all right. I'm a man, I can take that. Oh but…"
He stopped his speech and approached the closest of the Fates. He took her rotten hand in his strong one.
"I have to say you look lovely. Did you do something to your hair?"
As expected, the female creature chuckled.
"Please?" she begged her sisters. The third Fate rolled her eyes.
"Fine!"
"Great!" the god smirked.
"In eighteen years the planets will align" the first fate said.
"That's when you can use your alchemy to unleash the Titans"
"…that's when Hoenheim will fall, and you will rule over everyone!"
"Yes!" Greed shouted, his ultimate shield covering his body. His now dark and inhuman face had visible, pointy fangs. He grinned at the Fates.
"But." One of them said, and his shield disappeared, leaving place for his usual skin and face. "If Edward will fight…"
"You will lose" the third fate said, and they all disappeared.
"Fucking shit!" Greed shouted angrily, kicking a stone chair. "Envy!"
"What!" Envy's voice came from outside the room. The green-haired boy entered. "What?"
"How do you kill a god?"
"You don't."
"But if you really have to?"
"You…cut his balls off?"
"Nah, he can kill you before you do that"
"You…cage him in a box protected with alchemy?"
"Good point, but no."
"I don't know, you tell me if you're so smart" Envy mumbled.
"You turn him mortal!
"Makes sense. And how are you going to turn little Edward into a mortal?"
"The question is how are you going to do that."
Envy just rolled his eyes.
…..
"I can't believe I'm doing this," the shape shifter mumbled. "Stupid Greed, stupid gods, stupid plan, stupid, stupid, stupid."
He entered the room where Edward and Den were sleeping and took the small god.
He heard Trisha and Hoenheim's cries and shouts when they noticed their son's absence.
He chuckled sadistically.
"It's time to turn you into a useless human." He smirked and gave Edward the liquid Greed had told him to use.
"Drink the potion, brat. I need you to be mortal if I am to kill you"
Being the selfish, uncaring, bored creature he was, Envy didn't make sure Edward drank every last drop. He just waited until the kid had drunk what seemed like the entire potion.
The glow on Edward's skin disappeared. Envy smirked.
He turned into a snake using his metamorphic powers and approached the baby.
"No!" a woman exclaimed hitting the snake with a rock. Envy fell on the ground, feeling really dizzy.
"Poor baby!" she said taking Edward in her arms. She had pale skin, short dark hair and a mole under her left eye.
The woman kicked Envy once again with her foot, than left with the baby. She hoped her husband would agree in taking him in.
She wasn't too old, but she wasn't young enough. Babies weren't an option for her anymore. But who knows, maybe this child…He was a sign from the gods.
…
"Done?" Greed asked smirking.
"Done." Envy grinned back, hiding his lie with style. "It wasn't easy, though."
"Oh, yes, taking care of a human baby is sooo hard," Greed replied sardonically. "Give it a break, Envy."
The shape shifter just rolled his eyes and left.
…
"Yes, Maria, of course we can keep the baby. What should we name him?"
Maria smiled, sincerely happy.
"Really?"
"Really. So what should we name him?"
"Well, I found this around his neck" she said showing her husband a silver chain, on which was attached a locket with a complicated symbol.
"It's the sign of the Amestrian gods!" Denny exclaimed.
"I know! And look, inside there's written something, but I couldn't see outside because of the dark"
Denny approached the light to examine the locket.
Don't forget. Edward Elric
"His name is Edward?" she asked gasping.
"I guess. We should keep this name"
"Okay. I can't believe it! A child! Our child!"
Denny smiled and hugged his wife closely.
"Yes. Our child"
That was chapter one :D.
How does it sound? Should I keep going?
Please review!
Note: unlike my first fanfic of this kind (Mulan) I won't use the original dialogue from the movies. I will still keep the same plot. Okay?:D
Thanks to my beta: This Iz Pointless!
