This was fun as hell to write. It's a crossover between FullMetal Alchemist and Danny Phantom, neither of which belong to me. A warning—this is not to be taken seriously. I am so seriously sorry for anyone this might offend. It's… pretty stupid. You will lose brain cells, or your money back.
So, yah, seriously, this is weird shit. But it is SO FUNNY (at least to me) that I had to write it.
Warning—there are SPOILERS here for anyone who hasn't read up to at least Chapter 67 of FMA, and possibly for those of you who haven't seen IR and EFaE.
And to those of you following my other story, sorry, but if writing is a road, I may have just totaled my car in a huge p(l)ot hole. Don't expect it or this to be updated much.
And without further wasting of time by yours truly, I give you, the Phantom Alchemist!
The Gate to the Truth is known to very few people. It is the only color in a plane of infinite white; a meager splash of brownish clay in the middle of nothing. The Sephirot is engraved on its surface, warning all who regard it of its nature – to put the prideful in their place.
For all who attempt to go against the World's will and bring back what is dead are brought to it, to be punished for their sin, and sacrifice to the World so that it may be pleased. This usually involves having a limb or two or more violently torn from the body.
There have been many people who have tried this since the discovery of alchemy. There have been many more deaths than need be.
But this story is not about all the people who have tried and failed at human transmutation. It is really only about three.
One; Edward Elric. A State Alchemist in Amestris by the name of Fullmetal, fifteen years of age. Four feet, eleven inches. Braided blonde hair, golden eyes. Bit of a Napoleon complex. A stunningly good alchemist, but perhaps too merciful and young.
Two; Alphonse Elric. An amazing alchemist, able to transmute almost as well as his brother. His soul is attached to a suit of armor, and his body is before the Gate. Normally has long brown hair and golden eyes; age fourteen.
Three; Danny Fenton. Age fourteen, black hair, blue eyes. Tall. Part ghost, as far as he knows. Is unaware of the alchemical powers within him, as he exists behind the other Gate.
Yes, there is another Gate. It is parallel with the other, and leads to another world, where alchemy normally doesn't work. But because of a certain rip in the fabric of space (coughGhostPortalcough) and the two people who were trapped inside it once upon a time, alchemy may be harnessed.
Unfortunately, a side affect of being trapped in a fake Gate (coughGhostPortalcough) is becoming a Homunculus.
When one is put in the fake Gate (coughGHOSTPORTALcough), one is essentially killed. The body, soul, and mind are separated, and should theoretically disappear forever. But instead, the soul is forced through the Gate and into the Other World, the mind is stuck in Limbo where the World resides, and the body is partially left behind in its world, and partially sucked into the Gate, to be shown the Truth. The soul latches onto a body in the Other World and receives all the memories, thoughts, and habits of whomever it has attached itself to. The host generally suffers a horrible headache during this time, but soon recovers, sometimes with several stray memories from the soul in addition to its own. The mind is told of what exists in the Gate, and often will learn what the World knows. The body is left half in its world, and half in the Gate, where it supposedly remains. The part of the body left on its world will take a spirit from the Spirit Realm, and use that to make up for what was lost in the Gate.
But when the body, mind, soul, and spirit come together, something strange happens. Anything gained in the transaction will be pushed to the back of the mind by the spirit, completely forgotten about. The body will essentially become half spirit and half human, which will create a very weak Philosopher's Stone that can be strengthened with souls.
If there is a strong enough reminder, the memories that had been lost will come back. The soul will contribute the recollections of the host. The mind will supply the knowledge of alchemy. The spirit that was taken from the Spirit Realm during the operation will factor in its own memories. The body will be able to connect with the other part of it that is in the Gate, providing a constant stream of alchemical power. In addition to these actions, the physical body will go through a few changes: a slight discoloration of hair and eyes, blue circles attached with blue lines all over the body, sharper teeth, extreme malleability, and a blue Ouroborous tattoo somewhere on the body.
Unlike the Homuculi named after the Cardinal Sins in the Other World, the Homunculi in this one are often named after the Cardinal Virtues. They are also able to perform alchemy.
When Danny Fenton went through the fake Gate (it's a freaking Ghost Portal! Get it right! Oi…), his soul latched onto a certain alchemist named Edward Elric. The entire thing went something like this:
Soul
Danny's Soul- Yo! Dude! I need a place to crash while my mind chats it up with the World and my body gets shocked and loaded up with ectoplasm! Hey, there's a short kid! Cool/dives into Ed/
Ed- Okay, so then I was like, 'That's my pocket-watch—' and oh my God that I don't believe in, my freaking head/faints/
Al- Big brother!
/Later/
Danny's Soul- This has been interesting. And disturbing. But looks like now I gotta go and save the world or something. Seeya, shorty/leaves/
Ed- /waking up/ NOT A PIPSQUEEK SO SMALL YOU NEED A MICROSCOPE TO GET A GLIMPSE OF!!! Hzuhwah…? Okay, WTF just happened?
Al- Brother! You're alive! /breaks back via hugging/
Ed- AEEIOOURGH!
Mind
Danny's Mind- Where am I?
World- Before the Gate. /grins/
Danny's Mind- Nice teeth. And why am I here?
World- Because you have attempted Human Transmutation, and must pay the Passage Fee.
Danny's Mind- No I didn't. All I did was go in my parents' Ghost Portal.
World- That would explain it. So that means you're one of the new Homunculi.
Danny's Mind- The what now?
World- Homunculi. Singular, Homunculus. Means you're basically a living doll, with no feelings.
Danny's Mind- Well, that's not cool!
World- Shut up. I don't care. So since you're from the other Gate, that means you are the embodiment of a Holy Virtue. But which one?
Danny's Mind- Hell if I know.
Body
Danny's Body- Argh! I'm being split in half!
Danny's Body A- Whoa… that's a lot of ectoplasm. Good thing that I'm pretty much unconscious, so can't feel it! I also seem to be missing half my body. Might need to fix that… /enters Ghost ZoneSpirit Realm/
Maes Hughes's Spirit- Hey! You wanna see a picture of the most adorable little girl there ever was?
Danny's Body A- Uh, sure, but not right now. Say, you're a ghost-thing, right?
Maes Hughes's Spirit- More or less.
Danny's Body A- Cool. /devours his spirit/ I, uh, didn't mean to do that.
Danny's Body B- /next to the Gate/ WTF? Oh, hey Mind.
Danny's Mind- Yo. This is the World. World, this is Body.
World- Yeah, I know. Sup?
Danny's Body B- Nothing much.
Gate- /LOOM/stretches super-long arms out and snatches Danny's Body B/ BWAHAHAHA!
Danny's Body B- YEARGH/dragged in/ Whoa, this is kinda cool. Lots of info… I'll never fail another test again! YES!
/Danny's Mind, Danny's Soul, and Danny's Body A get dragged back through the Ghost Portal/
Danny's Body B- What about me?
Sajoli- You stay here. You're a plot device.
Danny's Body B- Mmkay.
/Danny's Mind, Danny's Soul, Danny's Body A, and Maes Hughes Spirit are formed together/
Maes Hughes's Spirit- Wait—that's Ed's memories that they got here! And wait, he thinks I'm obsessive about my cute little Elysia?!? Why that little—
Ed's Habits- NOT! LITTLE!!!
Maes Hughes's Spirit- …Right… But still! I can't have that! I'll have to get rid of those.
/tries getting rid of the memories, and accidentally locks all the other memories and himself away with them/ &$#!!
Sajoli- And that was that.
So Danny Fenton, really just a kid, was unknowingly entrusted with protecting his world from stray intruders from the other world and eventually destroying the Sin to his Virtue. Somewhat difficult for someone who doesn't even remember any of this HAPPENNING!!! So, yeah, poor kid's screwed.
But we all love Danny, so I can't let that happen. In fact, I think right about now is a good time for Fate to intervene. Gimme a sec…
There! See? Now that I've got my Magical Sock Puppets out, the story can really begin!
Danny Puppet- Oh my! My ghost sense has gone off during school! How original/runs from the classroom/
Lancer Puppet- The Land of Sand! Fenton, where are you going?!?
Danny Puppet- Away/goes ghost in the hallway and flies through the school/ Now where-?
Suddenly, a holograph-esque Lust Puppet appears! The world around melts away into solid, unending white! Holograph-y Lust Puppet beckons to our favorite ghost boy, who curiously draws nearer! Oh NOES! Don't do it, Danny Puppet!
But it's TOO LATE! The Translucent Lust Puppet grins evilly, and creates a Gate that springs from the ground to tower over Danny Puppet! NOOO! He's my favorite!
The new Gate grabs at Danny Puppet, who frantically tries to escape! But it is in vain, for the hands are grasping him too tightly! Ghost Lust Puppet smiles kindly, and—WTF? Kindly? But isn't she evil? Ah well.
Ghosty Lust Puppet smiles kindly, and sweetly warns Danny Puppet to stop!
Holographicallical Lust Puppet- Dear boy, cease your struggling. You will only harm yourself. I've come to bring back your memories, so that you will be prepared for what is to come.
Danny Puppet- Yo! Hot Lady! WTF is going on? These stretchy hands are touching me in all the wrong places!
Not-Opaque Lust Puppet- You'll find out soon enough. But be cautious, for if you aren't careful, you will fall into the same trap I did.
Danny Puppet- What? Wait! What the hellllllllll…
Gate- /munch/
Lust Puppet- Poor boy. He's so young. But this will probably do him a lot of good. /disappears/
Le gasp! What will happen to our hero? No one knows! Not even me! But tune in next time, where our hero will tell you for himself!
