The Flamemetal Alchemist

Chapter 1:

"No! NO, THIS IS... THIS IS NOT RIGHT!" Screaming in agony Alexander felt where his right arm used to be, just blood. "MY ARM! WHERE'S MY DAMN ARM?" Alex shut his eyes hoping the nightmare would stop, but to no avail. "I NEVER WANTED THIS! I JUST WANTED MY MOTHER TO COME BACK! SHE WAS ALL I HAD LEFT!" Alex looked at the abomination he created. Human Transmutation was the ultimate Taboo, and strictly forbidden in all countries. Use of this Taboo would get him court martial... or worse. Alex quickly got up and ran as fast as he could clutching his bloody right shoulder. That thing wasn't human... It definitely wasn't his mother nor could it have been anything more than a... monster... Just like his father...

...One month later...

Roy Mustang reclined back in his chair. Becoming Fuhrer wasn't easy, especially with the battles that took place a few years ago. Roy recounted how he returned Ishval to normal... So, why did he feel unsatisfied? He looked at an old photo of Edward and Alphonse on his desk. Roy was about to remember all the 'good times' but the speaker com on the left side of his desk went off, which almost made him fall out of his chair. He clicked it once. Hawkeye's voice broke through. "Sir, you have a visitor." Roy sighed and clicked the com speaker again. "Send'em up." Roy reclined back again when there was a knock on the door, he sat up. "Enter." A teenage boy no older than sixteen entered, his dark brown hair was a slightly grown out over his crimson red eyes. He wore a simple T-shirt and jeans with combat boots. Aside from that, his most noticeable feature is his right automail arm. Roy wasn't too impressed, probably because he wasn't as flashy as Edward. "You're Fuhrer Mustang, right?" Roy stood and walked to the right of his desk. "Yes I am and who might you be?" "My name is Alexander, and if it wouldn't trouble you, I would like to become a dog of the military." Roy shot him a serious glance and smirked. "Do you know Alchemy?" Alex held up his left hand. A small amount of fire started to flare around it. "I know Fire Alchemy." He lowered his hand. Roy looked him in the eyes, one way or another this question will spring up at Alex. "Alexander. May I ask: how exactly you got that arm and how you can use Alchemy without transmutation circles?" Alex froze and became wide eyed, he started to sweat slightly and drooped his head. He even began to tremble, Roy sighed. "I'll ask about this later, or someone else can find out about... whatever it is you're scared about." Alex glared at Roy, which kind of scared him. "Fuhrer... I committed the... Taboo..." Roy gasped and stared at him. Just like Edward... no maybe his case was different. "Tell me everything, Alexander."
