Hey everyone, here's my first crossover fanfiction! ^_^

I've been a BIG fan of FMA (I do like the original for what it was, but Brotherhood is superior in most ways) for sometime, but the anime I grew up on was the original Yu-Gi-Oh! of course. My only concern for this fanfiction is the FMA world might be slightly AU with some things changed around, but I'll explain that as this story progresses.

Hope everyone enjoys the prologue!


The Philosopher's Stone. Man's greatest creation and curse. Every person who had attempted to create one always met their demise by insanity or death.

The stone requires a large sacrifice of human lives. Are you ready to make such a drastic choice? You are an alchemist after all, don't you crave to obtain the holy grail of all alchemy? I could give it to you, but I have other reasons.

Edward and Alphonse Elric were still on the hunt to find one and recover Al's body. It was almost two years and they had no luck whatsoever even the incident with Father Cornello almost gave them the hope they were searching for, but sadly it wasn't.

You performed the ultimate form of a taboo and you want to atone for your sins? Your sins will be the price of a couple human lives, is that equivalent exchange to you?

Time after time either someone had a real stone or it was just a fake one.

Overtime, Edward met some very interesting folks who he considered friends; the sixteenth prince of Xing, Ling Yao, was very close to Edward. Besides Ling's obvious habits of pigging out and making other people spend money for him, he was deeply considerate for his subordinates Lan Fan and Fu.

However, Scar was still on the loose killing any State Alchemists who defied the laws of his god Ishbal; Edward remained vigilante for the scarred man, however something was lurking underneath Amestris he couldn't place his finger on.

Soon, everything will fall into place in my favor.

After a few years, Edward decided it would be nice to pause their search for just a few days and meet up with their longtime friend Winry in Central City. The two caught a train and the ride would take a few hours. During the train ride, Edward thought deeply about their desperate, frantic search for the stone. Is it worth our time to search for a stone that causes more harm than good? There just has to be another way to get Al's body back. Scar's still out there killing Alchemists left and right and the military isn't doing a damn thing to stop him. All they're doing is boasting their military power to instill fear and hopefully cause enough anarchy and then, bam, catch who they're looking for. Plus, the Homunculi are not making this any easier. And, who knows what the Füher's real plans are with this country.

All of those thoughts boggled Edward and he couldn't help but groan in anger. He tugged and scratched at his hair and riled as well, "Why does it have to be so hard?!"

"Ed, is everything ok?" Alphonse said softly while he tried to adjust his seat, but his clunky armor got in the way. All the time Alphonse wanted to help his older brother any way he could despite his obstructing armor. He has a very kind, gentle demure and never wanted to cause any conflict or harm to anyone, however it did not mean he would injustice slide. "Brother, are we there yet? I'm getting so anxious. It's been a while since we've seen Winry. I'm just glad your arm isn't broken and she won't clobber you with her wrench."

Edward got used to getting his arm broken or destroyed, and Winry throwing her wrench at his head in anger and her lectures on how to take care of his automail properly. He would get very irritated from her obnoxious personality and nagging ways, but she was always affectionate with them. "We'll get there soon Al. I think we're just a hop, skip away from our station."

Within about twenty minutes they finally arrived to Central City and were ecstatic to simply stand up. Edward cracked his arms and legs readied to deal with another major problem. Gloating, sarcastic, egotistic colonel Roy Mustang. However, Ed wanted to buy a gift for the colonel in hopes that Roy wouldn't give him a hard time. "What should I buy to pipe him down from mocking me?"

Right outside the station was a little, cute stand full of antique jewelry and small weapons. "I doubt the colonel is into any type of jewelry let alone jewelry for men." Edward glanced over the table quickly, but Al spotted something quite unique. "Ed, what about this?"

In the middle of the table was an old fashioned pistol engrained with a symbol of the Amestrian military. Edward thought it would be nice to give a Roy a functional weapon. "Well, if it ever rained the colonel could finally rely on a real weapon and not let his subordinates make up for his uselessness." Alphonse laughed at the small truth of it and Edward purchased it for a few hundred Cens.

"Alright then, I'm ready to get this over with the colonel bastard. Next stop, Central Headquarters." Edward and Alphonse began their walk towards Central to meet up with Winry, who was escorted by Major Armstrong. However, as happy as the Elrics were, darkness and despair slithered beneath their feet.

The Elrics are back, hmm, however the other people are not here yet. I will have to wait just a little more before all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.


I hope it didn't stink too bad and I also hope I didn't write Ed too OOC.

For those who are wondering what the italic text in the beginning and at the end indicates, those are Father's thoughts and dialogue regarding the future events that will occur.

As I said before, some aspects of the FMA world will change here and there, but I guarantee I'll explain why they happened.

Please R&R! ^_^
