It's been a while but I'm gonna take another crack at writing some fan fiction. I don't know how many times I've looked this over but I think I've found most of the grammar errors.

This story takes place about a month after the Conqueror of Shambala movie. The idea came from the multiple universe talk that Fuhrer Bradley's real world counterpart mentions in the movie. So I figured since there was a world dominant with Alchemy and our world, why not have one that was split down the middle. A world that used Alchemy and science together to progress even faster than the other two worlds. Of course the philosophers stone does come into play, but I'm not gonna say much more about it. Also the laws of equivalent exchange are going to be some what redefined, but I'll have more explanation on that when the time comes.

Now for the Disclaimer, I don't own anything from FMA.

I only own my OC and the universe he comes from.

Two men dressed in mining suits sat in a tent and ate their dinner. The tent was next to a hole in the ground, nearly one thousand feet in diameter. The hole descended into the darkness with no lighting along it whatsoever. The only light came from the lone tent near the opening.

"It's been far too long since we've even gotten a peek at what the Colonel is working on," the man with shoulder length black hair said while jabbing his fork into a piece of meat. "According to him we're just security for when the military arrives. It would be a shame for his work to go unfinished just because General Longstreen thinks this is an unfit practice of alchemy."

"Relax Luke, Colonel Xavier isn't about to let those foolish dogs they call a military to get in the way. Remember he's been across the gate many times and has found many secrets to Alchemy, especially where the real philosophers stone is located," the bald man with glasses said.

"Rio I do not doubt Xavier's plans, or the fact that the military will be no match for us once we get our hands on it. But I fail to realize exactly what he is trying to find down there," said Luke.

"According to the Colonel there is a gate that will allow passage to anywhere your heart desires hidden deep below these remains of the pyramids. This gate will allow us to travel to other worlds and, once we get the philosophers stone, we will be able to conquer all the worlds this gate will let us travel to," said Rio with an evil grin.

"How do you know all this?" asked Luke.

"I wasn't appointed the Colonels right hand man for nothing," said Rio.

"Wait, you… you're his right hand man," said Luke a little stunned.

"Did you really think that woman with him was his right hand? She's nothing, just a spy for the military. It's all a hoax to keep everyone else fooled," said Rio.

"Fooled, how?" asked Luke.

"How you ask. It's simple really, since we don't know what this gate will want when we open it she hired a whole bunch of no named scrubs of society. Xavier will use them as to travel safely to each world, bypassing equivalent exchange to our own bodies until we get the stone," explained Rio. "And to think, even if the military arrives, Xavier will have the gate open. Then he will use those military dogs as pawns in his great plan for ultimate power."

"You… you…" Luke's speechless and horrified face only made Rio smirk.

"Looks like you've learned too much, oh well time to say goodnight," Rio said as he clapped his hands and forcefully grabbed Luke's head.

There was a loud cracking sound as Luke's skull exploded. Blood and brains splattered all over the tent wall behind him. Rio wiped his hands off laughing as he exited the tent. He looked into the night and saw two bright blue lights on the horizon. Behind the two blue lights appeared a set of red ones. The shape of a car and heavy truck could just barley be made out in the darkness. "Hmm, looks like they arrived right on time," Rio thought as he looked down at his watch.

The car and truck pulled up to the tunnel entrance and stopped. The car was jet black and blended in well with the darkness. The vehicle resembled that of an older car and its engine gave off the rumble of a large motor hidden beneath the hood. The truck behind the car had a sleeker, more aerodynamic design, from that of an old big rig. It also hovered above the ground about a foot, which made its travel nearly silent.

"Still driving this thing around Archane," Rio muttered as he knocked on the cars window.

The window of the car cracked open an inch, "We're not late are we?" asked the driver.

"No Archane, you're right on time," said Rio.

"I have a first name you know, why don't you use it?" asked the Driver.

"Just head into the tunnel, the Colonel is waiting," said Rio as he slapped the top of the car and motioned for the two vehicles to enter the tunnel. As the truck passed Rio grabbed onto the ladder mounted on the side and rode with the truck into the darkness of the tunnel.

Berlin Germany

11:35pm

1923

A taxi drove calmly through the streets of Berlin. Inside the taxi were two boys with blonde hair. One wore a red coat and black clothes while the other wore traditional 1920's style clothing. Just by looking at the two it was clear that they were brothers.

"Ed. Are you sure this Mayes guy has any clue who we are looking for?" asked the younger looking brother.

"I'm not sure Al, but from what the bartender told me it sounds like Mayes is our man," Edward whispered to his brother.

"Just what are two boys like yourselves doing out this late?" asked the cab driver.

"We just got into town about an hour ago and we were supposed to meet a friend, but he never showed up at the train station," Ed lied.

"And you waited this long to find a cab?" the driver asked.

"Well we don't know where he lives, so we had to find his address first," said Ed.

"I don't think that visiting Mr. Mayes at this hour is of convenience to him nor do I…" the cab driver started.

There was a flash of what appeared to be lightning, then a loud thud as something hit the hood of the taxi cab, smashed into the windshield, and rolled off onto the street. The cab driver slammed on the breaks bringing the cab to a halt in the middle of the street.

"What just happened?" asked Al a little frightened.

"I don't know, I think I hit someone," replied the driver.

A second flash followed by a loud bang and discharge of energy ripped through the night sky. Through the cracked windshield Ed could barely make out a large object as it fell out of the sky in their direction. Ed shoved Alphonse out of the taxi and tried to scramble out before the object hit the cab. Ed was nearly out of the car when the object struck the taxi with great force. Al watched in horror as the black object tore through the taxicab like it was tinfoil. Sheet metal, glass, and just about every part of the car littered the road.

"BROTHER!" Alphonse shouted. He started to run towards the wreckage but was stopped in his tracks by another flash and a discharge of energy. This was accompanied by an even louder bang that shattered the glass of the streetlamps and windows of the homes. Al looked up to see another object falling towards him. This one was twice as massive as the one that crushed the taxicab. Al felt something grab him around the stomach as he was moved away from the falling object. The object hit the ground with enough force to make the street around it collapse inward, chunks or rubble flew out on all sides. The last thing Al saw was a chunk of road heading towards his face, then darkness.

If you're not confused yet, then I didn't do my job. But all the answers will come in due time, so until then leave a review and I'll have the next chapter up hopefully within a week or so.
