Chapter 1: Xing Massacre
Winry Rockbell had just reached Central city from Rush Valley. She was carrying a heavy wallet full of her favourite Automail tools and a huge smirk on her face.
- Damn that Ed! – She shouted, not figuring that every townsfolk was watching her as a freak – It hadn't passed even a week, EVEN A WEEK! And he's calling me for coming here with urgency. He didn't want to tell me but I'm sure he'd broken his automail again. At least I made him to wait more than a week as I still had to take care of all my pending patients. Good for him not to be with his arm, or his leg, to learn to take care of them. Oh! But that's not enough, since I've taken this with me.
She searched in her wallet and brought out an incredibly big Wrench – The titanic mother of all Wrenches, designed for adjusting tanks screws. His head is going to taste its power, hehe- she showed an evil grin.
She headed to the direction military hotel where Ed said they were staying, at the reception, she asked for the Elric brothers and she headed to the room that they were supposed to be staying at. Near the entrance of the room there was a mattress lying on the floor "What the hell is doing this here?" Winry thought, and then she strongly hit at the door.
- EDWARD! COME OUT FROM THERE, AND GIVE ME A REASON FOR NOT TO KILL YOU! – She shouted for a while, until suddenly, a blond guy opened the door; but it wasn't Ed, he couldn't be Ed, he was too tall to be Ed. But he seemed too familiar to Winry.
The boy smiled when he noticed the girl and said with a very kind voice – Hi Winry!
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!- Winry shouted and then she fainted, falling on the mattress that was over there.
Edward Elric popped out when he heard the shout of his friend – oh! She had finally come.
Alphonse Elric smiled at him and told to his brother – You see, the mattress was necessary after all, "niisan".
Winry Rockbell woke up thirty minutes more of less from the time she had collapsed. The first people she saw were a teen boy and girl watching over her. She recognized the boy.
- Ling! What…what had happened to me.
- Hmm, you seem to have taken a big shock, he said, doing an smile, he seemed not to be acting as he usually did, when Winry was there. Then Winry looked at the girl.
- Hi, who are you? – She asked her making the better smile she could since she was still recovering.
- Oh! My name is May Chen, Nice to meet you – she replied with a small reverence
- Is she from Xing too? Is she your sister or some relative? – She asked to Ling.
- Nope, she's another princess from one of the 17 clans. And besides she's supposed to be my rival, we're friends.
- Oh well, where are Ed and Al?
- Hi again Winry! – A very familiar voice called from the other side of the room. When she turned to see who he was, she saw the same boy that made her faint earlier, sitting at a couch and with a book at his hands. He was dressing black clothes and was smiling gently.
- Al? ...Al? ...Is really you?
- It seems that you're having some problems to recognize me. I know that I have more hair and less Iron than before, but I think that my voice could help you; although it doesn't have a metal Eco anymore.
Winry got up from the sofa where she was resting with a jump and rushed to strongly hug Al, with tears falling from her eyes. Al thought to himself "thanks I get used to this, after more than a thousand "niisan's" quite painful intents."
- OH! ... AL! ... AL! YOU FINALLY…YOU FINALLY ACHIEVED TO RETURN TO YOUR REAL BODY …AND DON'T MAKE SUCH BAD JOKES AT THIS TIME…OH! I'M SO HAPPY!
- Promise accomplished I guess then – another familiar voice said from the entrance of the room, there was Ed grinning and carrying a big bag with food. Although she was wearing gloves and his usual long sleeve black jacket, the place between the sleeve and the glove that sometimes was left and where metal was showed before; now showed flesh. Winry noticed it.
- Ed, You too? – She asked, letting Al to breath.
- Yep, pure flesh now he put down his sleeve and showed his right arm.
Then Winry rushed towards Ed and she hugged him, they stay that way sometime. Finally Ed murmured something to her "Oh Winry, you're crying, but this time I'm not sorry for making it"
- I'm sorry for making you to come here Winry – Al said to his childhood friend – but you were the one that asked that you should be the first knowing that we had returned our bodies to normal, and although I wanted to go to Rush valley, "niisan" doesn't even let me to the park go for a walk.
- Well, I'm just still worried about your health. Remembering all the biological needs is not something that you can do in one night.
- Oh! C'mon "niisan", I've already get used to you hugs, along with your further intents to…
- Well! I'm not the one that goes to bathroom 50 times a day! You're still confusing hunger and tickling with the call of nature! – Ed cut Al's words, his face showed something like "Don't talk about that here!"
- Oh! … It's just because I don't want to have any disgusting accident. I just need some days to completely return to normal. And don't exaggerate! They can't be more…than 20 times.
Winry and the Xing Princes laughed after the last commentary, making Al to blush.
- By the way Ed, what did you do with your automail?
- Well, It's difficult to explain, but my automail were turned into the limbs I have now.
- Really?
- Yep, and I've already made some analysis and it revealed that they are completely normal.
- Oh well! I think it's better than to let them destroyed in the middle of a battlefield, I think that it was useless to bring my tools with me then.
- Not really, I wanted you here because I want to ask you a favour Winry.
- Uh?
- Do you remember the girl that is Ling's Bodyguard?
Ling's face turned hard then.
- Hum yes…Ran Fan if I remember, right?
- Yes, well, she'd lost one of her arms lately.
- What!
- When she was battling one of the homunculus
- The leader of your country – Ling said furiously
- Führer King Bradley is a Homunculus! –
- He was, Roy Mustang managed to kill him.
- And who's now the Führer then.
- Mustang
- Ah!
- Yes I know all of this is incredibly confusing, even for Roy all of this is very confusing, but we haven't have time to talk to him yet.
- Well, you have to explain me a lot of things really.
- Yeah we have, but if we say something more your head will surely explode. What about it could you please made an Automail to Ran Fan?
- The Yao clan will take care of all spends, don't worry about the money – Ling strongly asseverated.
- Well, I think I can take the sizes and to start making the arm, but to put it I need her to go to rush valley. Where is she?
- She's in a doctor's house near central?
- Well, take me with her. It's time to work.
- First Lunch please, I'm hungry – Al said with a smile.
- Uh! Are you sure? – Ed teased, Al death glared him.
Two days passed and they said Winry about everything that had passed until that time. She had also started doing a woman automail limb for Ran Fan. With no urging to make it quickly (as it was in Ed's case) she'd take doing it one week.
At the breakfast of that day, Ling and May Chen showed themselves incredibly nervous.
- Is there something wrong Ling, May Chen? Edward asked, after opening with alchemy some cans of food.
- I…I have a terrible bad feeling – Ling was trembling as May Chen did, then they suddenly stood up and headed to the door.
- Hey! What's happening here? – Al said, when he entered the room, from one of the bedrooms.
- Sorry, but we must return to our country as quick as possible, we have a very bad feeling, something is not good. Thanks for all your help.
- WAIT!
The two Princes turned around with Ed's shout.
- You aren't planning to cross an entire desert without food, do you? – Al said, smiling to them
- Wait at least until this afternoon to gather you provisions.
- Well, I think we have no choice either – Ling Replied
At the afternoon. The five of them were at the outsides of Central.
- We'll be back as soon as we are sure that everything is right there.
- We still need to complete a mission.
- We'll be waiting for you – Al said, that was his first out in all this time.
- Goodbye and good luck! – Winry tells them with a smile.
Ling and May Chen waved there hands as they get lost at the Horizon, with the three camels they bought for the Travel. They hearts told them that something was really wrong there.
One week of a horrible exodus, brought the Xing Princes to a horrible sight. The Xing Capital Beining, was almost completely destroyed, the elusive palaces, the enormous lively parks, the precious streets, full of Xingesse art they were completely destroyed, there were not people at sight.
Their heart almost crumbled there. Their beloved city was almost destroyed. May Chen fell on her knees and began to cry loudly; even Ling couldn't hold some tears.
All of this seemed like, the beginning of … a Nightmare.
