I Failure or success?
November 8th, 1917
Central, Amestris
It was over. Eckhart had been defeated, and the fighting below had stopped as well. Eighteen year old Edward Elric stood on Eckhart's rocket airship with his younger brother Alphonse and his old superior officer Roy Mustang.
So what now? asked Mustang.
Ed looked down at his feet, he knew what he had to do.
Brother?
Winry Rockbell walked around what were now the ruins of Central. She had been hiding in the underground city with her friend Sheska, but when the things seemed to calm down they returned to the surface. The battle had done some pretty bad damage to Central. Buildings that had gotten hit were in ruins, and some were even on fire. Dead bodies laid in the streets, but everything seemed quiet.
My God... said Sheska as she looked around.
Up in the sky they caught sight of one of the rocket ships flying towards the underground city.
That's Ed, I know it said Winry.
A tear ran down her face and she wiped it away.
I guess this is goodbye for good
Winry?
She gasped, she knew that voice. She slowly turned around to see Ed and Al behind her.
Edward?!
She looked back to where she had seen the ship fly off. The smoke was still there, but Ed and Al were both here. Was she seeing things?
But, I thought you-How?
I transferred part of my soul into a suit or armor again to close the gate on the other side, Mustang said he would close it on this side
So you're staying? she asked Ed.
He nodded with a smile on his face. She smiled as tears of joy ran down her face and she hugged him.
Welcome home then Y-Yeah
Ed blushed. He wasn't used to hugs from her, and since he had a crush on her since they were kids it was awkward. He looked around at the aftermath of the battle. He had tried to stop this from ever happening, and now it was over. However he was a bit confused. It was true that they had invaded, but at the same time he was able to get home because of it. Then there was Alfons Heiderich. He felt like he had done something meaningful. Noa and Eckhart hadn't gotten what they wanted, but Eckhart was a bit crazy, and Nothing is ever perfect as his father would say. Was it a failure or a success? He didn't know.
Author's Notes
Yeah, yeah it's short I know. I would tell you that they get longer, but they don't really, at least not by a lot. This is mostly just intro and set up for the Sequel, but there's still some good stuff coming soon so please keep reading and review.
