This story as brought up by Fullmetal Demon Ride's challenge. Hope you enjoy.

Jack rushed to the North pole. North had just contacted all the Guardians saying Manny had a special mission for them. North said to hurry, so Jack was hurrying.

By the time Jack arrived, Bunny, Sandy, Tooth and, of course, North, were already there.

Bunny turned to Jack and said ," 'Bout time ya got here, Frostbite."

Jack smirked and rolled his eyes. " Sorry ,Bunny ,but I don't have magic tunnels that can take me all over the world in the blink of an eye. I have to fly everywhere."

Tooth shook her head. " Alright you two, that's enough. Manny's here." As she spoke, the moon peaked through the skylight in the ceiling. Hello, my guardians. I'm pleased to see that you are all here. And hello to you ,Jackson. I'm sorry about our lack of communication.

Jack waved it aside, grin on his face. " No problem here ,Manny. I swear I'm fine."

If the moon could nod, you could swear that's what he did. Very well, if you say so, Jackson. Now my Guardians, the reason I have called you all here. Two children, who have been through one tragedy after another, are in danger of losing their childhood completely.

North furrowed his eyebrows. " Vat do you mean, Manny? Losing dere childhood, I don't understand."

What I mean is, these two boys, Edward and Alphonse Elric, have grown up too fast. They handle many hardships most adults would be afraid to handle. They need to be reminded what it's like to be children again. And there is another problem. Pitch is involved. He has risen back to power through Edward's, the eldest brother, constant nightmares, through his fears. Both brothers need your help.'

Bunnymund was already on his feet. " Tell us where tha anlkebita's are and we'll set 'em right."

Manny chuckled. It's not that easy Bunnymund. You see...Alphonse and Edward...they aren't from this world. They live in another universe.

Tooth gasped. " An alternate universe. That can't be possible. Even if it is, how do we get there?"

I know it seems impossible, Toothianna, but the thing is, wonder, hope, dreams, and fun exist wherever children are. By the way, Toothianna, since you are the Guardian of Memories I shall entrust to you Alphonse and Edward's memories.

To canisters floated down from the sky and towards Tooth. Tooth took the canisters and pulled out a purse-like pouch. She put the canisters in the purse and wrapped the purse around her shoulder." I will guard them with my life."

Jack walked into the moonlight. " Well ,Manny ,how are we going to get to this other world?"

All in due time, Jackson. Before you go though, I must tell you about Edward and Alphonse's story. When they were very young, Edward and Alphonse's father, Hoenheim, left them and their mother, Trisha. Then a few years later, their mother died. Due to their longing and their...uniqe...abilites in alchemy.

Jack snorted. " Alchemy. Like turning lead into gold and junk."

Yes ,Jack ,but in their world, alchemy can do so much more. Actually, after they had found a teacher, they tried to bring their mother back to life through human transmutation.

Sandy perked up. Several sand images appeared above his head. Tooth, also very excited, translated. " Did it work? Did they bring their mother back?"

Manny's tone took on a sad turn. I'm afraid Guardians, but I said 'tried'. In their world, alchemy has one rule. The law of equivalent exchange, in order to make something out of nothing, something of equal value must be lost. Honestly ,Guardians ,what could equal the value of a human soul. When they did the transmutation Alphonse lost his entire body and Edward lost his leg. When Edward lost his leg, he learned the Truth. When he realized he had lost his brother, Edward brought back Alphonse's soul in exchange for his arm and tied the soul to a suit of armor. And if that's not the worst part, then this is, whatever Edward and Alphonse brought back, it wasn't their mother. That thing wasn't even human. It was so twisted and grotesque it couldn't have even been labeled as a human being. It wasn't even strong enough to live for than long. The thing died seconds after it was created. Now years later, Pitch has begun to feed of the Elirc brothers fears, and he transported himself into their world. You must stop him.

All of the Guardians stood in shock. Those poor boys, they had been through so much. There was a small silence before Manny spoke again. Now, Guardians, you must go to them. However, it is not in my power to take you there. So I will leave you to an...acquaintance...of mine.

Jack gave the moon a wary look. " I don't like how you didn't say 'friend' ,Manny."

I know ,Jackson. Now, the best of luck to you Guardians. Remember, help Edward and Alphonse, and bring Pitch back to this world. Farewell.

The Guardians blinked as they found themselves in a place of all white. Jack asked ," Where are we?"

He looked around and saw the other Guardians weren't there. " Guys, where are you?" Jack realized something. He scratched his head. " Wait, what was I doing again?"

" Hey you, over here?" said a voice behind him. Jack turned around to see a ... silhouette of a man. He was all white, with black shade outlining him. He didn't have a face, just a mouth.

Jack squinted. " Who are you?"

The silhouette laughed. " I'm so glad you asked. I'm what you'd call, the world. Or perhaps, the universe. Or perhaps, God. Or perhaps, the Truth. I am all, and I am one." He pointed at Jack. " This also means that I am you."

Jack looked at him warily. Then he turned around to see a giant door with symbols that shaped into a snowflake. " W-What's that?"

Suddenly 'Truth' was standing right next to him, a big grin on his face. " How else do you plan to get to this other world."

The door slowly opened, revealing an enormous eye and noodle like arms reaching out to him. He backed away in panic ,but the arms got him anyway and started dragging him towards the doorway. " No! LET ME GO! NORTH! BUNNY! ANYONE, HELP!"

The Truth laughed. " You foolish human. You fear everything you don't understand. If you fear things you don't recognise, you have no hope in completing this quest."

Jack calmed down and nodded. He's right, I have no idea on what to expect in this new world, if I fear things I'm not used to, I'm gonna lose. Jack closed his eyes as the door closed and he was thrust into a blinding white light. Edward and Alphonse Elric, here I come.

Edward and Alphonse thought their day couldn't get any weirder. First, they hunted down a crazed serial killer. Second, they had a brief and terrifying run-in with Scar. Third, they were forced to look at Hughes' photo album of Elicia. Now here they were walking down the street to find a tall, skinny, albino teenaged boy, wearing a blue hoodie, tattered brown pants, and carrying a shepherd's crook appear out of thin air, right in front of them.

The boy turned to them and said ," Hey, whats up?"

Al waved and Ed said ," Hey...Um, where did you come from."

The boy got up and dusted himself off. " Not important. Hey do you know where I can find the Elric brothers?"

Ed smirked. " You're looking right at 'em."

" Oh!" the boy walked over to Alphonse. " So you must be Alphonse."

Edward fell to his knees and shouted. " There is a God! Someone finally gets, that I'm the older brother!"

The boy gave Edward a smirk. " Coulda' fooled me. Someone already told me that the younger brother had his soul tied to a suit of armor. If no one had told me, I thought it might hae been you. You are pretty short, after all."

Edward gave the boy the mother of 'You are dead' stares. " WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TINY BEAN SPROUT MIDGET!"

Ed took a couple of breaths before asking ," Who are you anyway?"

The boy smirked and leaned on his staff. " Jack Frost."
