It's been a long time since I've written anything. I have a really long writers block on my Hobbit fanfic. I cant figure out how to finish it. Its the same with my Lord of the Rings and Avatar ones. But I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for the last week and just wanted to write one myself. FMA Brotherhood is so much better then the original one, and I just love Edward, and the voice actor for Ed too, :P. I hope this will be a good story. I have up to chapter 4 already written down. But I just wanted to put up one chapter now to see how it will do and if people wanted more. It they do. I'll trying to update as often as possible. Well I hope you enjoy. Please comment and give advise. Just to give a warning, I terrible at fight scenes, even thought there's not much of one in this chapter. Read bottom of chapter for more info regarding this story.
Chapter 1
Edward's P.O.V
Edward and his brother Alphonse were sitting in Colonel Mustang's office in Central command discussing what had just happened.
"Looks like you underestimated your opponent, Fullmetal," Roy Mustang said.
"Who is this guy anyway?" Ed asked. But before Mustang could answer, there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" Mustang said. "Enter."
The door opened and in entered a girl about the same age as Ed.
Ed watched as she walked over to Mustang, handing him a file, "Newly appointed State Alchemist, Rebecca Boriuel transferring under your command, sir," She said.
"Ah, you must be the one the Fuhrer mentioned. What's your state title?"
"Snow Alchemist, sir."
"Finally, some with manners, you should learn from this Fullmetal," Mustang said, turning to Ed.
Edward growls at him before looking to the girl as she finally took notice of them. She had striking light blue eyes that looked like ice. Ed wasn't ashamed to admit that she was pretty looking. She also had light blonde hair that was breaded back similar to Ed's hair. She was wearing black jeans, with a white belt hanging off one hip. White knee high boots, a white jacket over a black shirt.
"So, you're the Fullmetal Alchemist," she said in a somewhat bored voice, though still serious.
"Yes, so you hear of me?"
"Of course with you being the youngest person to become a State Alchemist."
"You guys can introduce yourselves later. We have to get down to business with this Alchemist," Mustang said. "Why don't you sit down Snow?"
Ed watched as she moved to sit beside him.
"As I was saying you'd know who he is if you'd listened to the briefing like I told you to. But noooo, you had to go charging right after..."
"Yeah yea, I get it, alright? I'm sorry, okay? Whatever..." Ed said, closing his eyes.
"Next time a superior tells you to pay attention, you might just try it."
"Fine."
"Now then... His name is Isaac McDougal. Or as he was known back in the day, "Isaac the Freezer." He's a former State Alchemist," Mustang said.
"Former?"
"He served in the Ishvalan War," replied Rebecca. "I read the report on the way here."
"Yes," Mustang stood up and moved over to the window. "During that time, he gave us no signs of that he'd turn traitor. But after, he immediately resigned him commission and went into hiding. He's been working with the anti-establishment movement ever since. Taking him into custody is a matter of top priority... Whether it's dead or alive. That's up to him."
"No way. I'm not killing anyone for you."
"And that's your choice. Your orders are simply to help us contain him. That's all. Hmm... Off topic, have you found any leads?"
Ed took a peek at Rebecca, but she had her eyes on Al.
"Maybe if you ever gave us time to look!" Ed shouted at him.
Just then the door opened again.
"Roy! How goes? Heard you let him put you in charge of catching the Freezer, huh?" One hell of a nasty assignment! But hey! Could be your chance to earn that promotion in Central! Oh see. Looks like my timing was perfect!" this man said in one breath. "You two are the Elric brothers, right?! And you must be the newest State Alchemist. Wow! It's an honor to finally meet the youngest State Alchemist ever. You're a real legend around here! I'm Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes! A pleasure!" he said as he enthusiastically shock Al's hand.
"Ah... you want Edward. I'm actually his younger brother Alphonse," Al pointed at Ed, and a dark cloud formed around his and he started glaring.
"What!? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist? Sorry! I had no idea you'd be so..."
'Go on! Say "little!" I dare you..." Ed thought.
Rebecca's P.O.V
Rebecca looked at all the people in the room before a sweat drop appeared in the side of her head. 'What did I get myself into here?'
"Hughes...?" Mustang said.
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing here? Go home."
"Actually. I'm here on official business. You, Elrics. You too Boriuel! I understand you three don't have a place to stay. Which means that you'll have to come with me."
"AGH," Rebecca and the brothers said as Hughes suddenly got serious for a sec before he pulled a picture out of his jacket and showed them. Hughes had a big goofy smile as his starting gushing over it. "My wife Gracia and my daughter Elicia. We'd love to have you."
Later at Hughes house.
They all stood outside as Hughes hugged his daughter.
"Look. We have guest. These are the Elric brothers and Boriuel."
"Please just call me Rebecca," she asked.
Elicia looked up at the brothers and pointed at Al first. Big brother, little brother," she finished by pointing at Ed.
Ed got angry at this. "Nice to meet you... my name is Edward Elric. This is my younger brother Alphonse Elric. Get that? Younger brother..."Ed said, trying to not scare the little girl.
"But younger mean little. You're little!" she said.
Rebecca had a small smile as she watch the little girl. 'Oh, the logic of children!'
"Let it go Ed. These people are really nice to let us stay here." Al said as he held Ed back as he carried him in.
Rebecca followed them in last. After taking her jacket off, Elicia walked over to her. "You're really pretty."
Rebecca smile down at her. "You're really pretty too. My name is Rebecca."
"I hope you three are hungry. Gracia's cooking is delicious!"
Rebecca sat across from the brothers. "This does look good."
"Alphonse... How're you gonna eat wearing that armor? Take it off. Relax!" Hughes said. Rebecca watches the two brothers as they freaked out.
"Oh...Well you see, I..." Al said as he rubbed the back of his head. Rebecca's eyes narrowed.
"He is not allowed to! He has to wear that all the time! It's a...it's part of his Alchemy training! You know how it is! I'll eat enough for the both of us!" Ed said, going back to eating.
"Training! Choo-Choo!" Elicia yelled laughing.
Later that night.
Rebecca left her room and walked over to the room the Elric's are in before knocking. A few seconds later Edward opened the door. His eyes widen. "Ah, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Can we talk for a bit? We haven't really got a chance to yet. And I have a few questions," she asked him.
"Ah, yeah sure," he said, letting her in.
After she walked in, she took at look at Ed. She could clearly see his Auto-mail arm and leg now. "I'll just come out and ask."
She turned to Ed head on. "You've seen it? You've seen the Truth?"
His eyes widen a little again. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, looking away.
"You commit that taboo. Why else would you have auto-mail? And I can tell Al is hollow."
Rebecca looks back to Ed after turning to Al. "You don't have to reveal everything now. But just know what I know what its like," she pulled off her glove and pushed her sleeve up. Ed looked at it shocked and she heard Al gasp. "I tried to bring back my older brother who died suddenly. He taught me everything I know about Alchemy. He was the only family I had left after our parents had died in the Civil War," she said, before covering her arm again. "I'll leave then, sorry to disturbed you two. Good night," Rebecca turned and left the room, returning to her own room.
Ed's P.O.V
Ed was still shocked as the girl left them.
"Brother. What do we do?" Al asked.
"I don't know." Ed said before lying back down.
"We have to tell her sometime."
"I know Al. I know," Ed said, closing his eyes. 'But when.'
Next day. Back to Rebecca's P.O.V
Rebecca stood beside Ed and al as they looked at one of Isaac's latest victim.
"How awful..." Al said.
"Looks like a steam explosion." Ed started.
"Raise the temperature of water fast enough to expand with the force of a bomb blast. And the human body is seventy percent water..." Rebecca finished, looking around them.
"Let's hurry. We have to find him before he hurts anyone else."
"Hmm."
As they were running down the street Ed turned to Rebecca. "Why were you called the Snow Alchemist?"
"I basically can turn the water in the air that is vapor and turn it into snow or ice and use them as weapons. There are other things I can do, but too hard to explain now," Just then, there was an explosion behind them.
They ran over to see the Major confronting Isaac.
As they ran down the alley, Isaac threw a water canteen at them before performing alchemy on it. Al grabbed Ed and shielded him from the steam as Rebecca clapped her hands to cool the water around her before it could do any damage.
"Water from his canteen, huh? Thanks for the quick save Al," Ed said giving his brother a tap on the chest.
"Let's go! He's getting away!" Rebecca and Al shouted.
Rebecca followed Ed, but did not enter the alley that Isaac was in.
"The Philosopher's Stone!" she heard Edward say after Isaac activated the alchemy circles.
"Don't be a fool! He'll lead us all to ruin! I'm only doing what needs to been done!"
"I told you! I don't care!" Ed yelled.
Rebecca had to jump back as Isaac was kicked out of the alley by Al.
"All right! Nice work Al!"
"But we still have to stop his alchemy?!" Rebecca said as she approached the brothers.
"I know," Ed turned to Isaac, "So where is it?! You have a Philosopher's Stone, don't you?" Ed said.
'Philosopher's Stone? Is that what they are trying to find.'
"What are you talking about?"
"I won't ask again! Where is it?!"
"And what are you doing to do boy...? You're out of your league!" Isaac said as an iceberg started to emerge out of the river. Isaac grabs the railing as it pulls him up with the ice.
Ed and Al turned around and started running. Rebecca turned to follow them. As they ran past Armstrong, Ed shouted that it was all his. Armstrong punched the ice, only to make thing worse.
Ed asked the Major to start destroying the transmutation circles, before they used alchemy to follow Isaac.
Rebecca sighed. "This is the most work out I've done since I was training my body after getting the auto-mail." She soon followed by transmuting steps up the ice wall. She reached them just as they knocked Isaac off with them following. Rebecca slide down as well.
"Give it up! There's no water for you to use here."
"Hah, you're forgotten something. I've all the water I need... seventy percent of my body."
Isaac transmuted his blood into small spears that pierced Ed's arm. Al broke the spikes as Ed fell to his knees.
"Why can't you fools understand?! I'm trying to save this country!" He started laughing and walked away as Al turned to Ed.
Rebecca looked up at Central Command as it started to freeze. "Ed?"
She watched as he pulled out the shards that where left before standing. "Come on! We're going after him! I'm not done...not even close."
"Fuhrer Bradley. You're here?" Ed said, out of breath.
"Ah, yes. Job well done Fullmetal, Snow. I came out to see if I could lend a hand...and to think...that I'd actually be the one to catch him! If nothing else, this should make an exciting story for my son!" Fuhrer Bradley said, smiling at them.
Time skip
Rebecca was walking down the hall in the hospital towards Edwards's room, only to hear loud noise from inside. She looked around the door way only to see Ed and Al freaking out over a topless Major Armstrong.
Rebecca stepped into the doorway, holding the box she carried behind her back and cleared her throat, getting the attention of the rooms occupants'.
They stopped and looked over. "Ah, Rebecca? What are you doing here?" Ed asked.
"I was just coming to check on you. We are going to be working together from now on right?" she said, stepping more into the room, "I made you some cookies. It didn't feel right to get your get well flowers," she could feel her cheeks heat up a little.
She noticed Ed's cheek had turned a little pink too.
"How lovely! For you to bring something so thoughtful. What young love!" Armstrong gushed.
"It's...It's nothing like that!" Ed yelled, turning redder.
All Rebecca could do was blush even more. But as she watched the two, she started laughing, and laughing hard. 'This is the first time I laughed since brother died.'
Ed's P.O.V
Ed had stopped yelled at the Major and he heard the musical sound. He turned to see Rebecca laughing. Not just any laugh, but a joyful one. One that made her face light up. Ed felt his face heat up more from a blush as he realized just how pretty she was.
In my profile. I will post what Rebecca is like and have links to my photobucket of what she is like.
