A/N: Welcome to "The Dark Military" the Second Arc of my Fullmetal Alchemist Series! I hope you enjoy this story and don't hesitate to ask me questions about the story.

Some of the events I write in the chapter happened in "Alchemy & Automail!" If you want to know more about them you'll have to read it or ask me.

R&R..

- Previously on "Alchemy & Automail" Chapter 19 -

"D-Do I leave or run away from him sometime in the future? And does something bad happen to him when I do!" Tears formed in her eyes at the thought of a dead Ed in her hands. "Don't worry, Ed... I won't leave you!"

Meanwhile...

The nurse stood on top of the stadium. She stared at the Resembool train leaving the station. Suddenly, another person appeared behind her. "So, you were here as well!"

"You know, it's disrespectful to play someone else, you impostor! It's not cool when you transform into others and cause murder. Why don't you transform back into your regular form... Envy!"

"How the hell do you know my name is Envy!?"

"I know more about you than you know about me!"

Envy grinded his teeth. "Just who the hell are you!"

"I don't like to take this mask off, but I think I should show you.." She took the mask off and showed him her face.

Envy's eyes widened and he started to tremble. "Y-You can't be! T-That's impossible!"

Her eyes narrowed and she clutched her fist. "You and the rest of your family will pay for what you did to my Edward Elric! But, for now..." Suddenly, she dropped a smoke bomb and the smoke covered the entire area and she escaped.

She went into a building and then went into a apartment. She opened the closet and took out clothes that were black and seemed to be made from leather. From a zipped leather coat to leather boots, she the grabbed a cape that was colored red and had a big hoodie that covered her face, keeping her hidden.

"Winry, whatever you do, don't leave Ed!" She had a few tears coming from her eyes and she jumped out of a window and landed in a alley. She ran and ran until she was outside Central. "First stop.. East City!"

She got on a passing train that headed East and sat on the roof. She stared at the direction were another train was headed. "Resembool..."

"Ed..."

One month had passed ever since the Alchemy Tournament Finals. They won, but they left Central with alot of questions and not so many answers. Especially Winry, who didn't tell anyone about the nurse she met and the conversation they had. Even to this day the words she told her still traveled around her mind.

"Winry, I want you to never leave Ed's side!"

Her voice sound familiar and it sounded scared. She didn't understand what she meant by that, but she was determined to never leave his side. Everywhere he went, she would go as well. She made a promise to the nurse and she was going to keep it. Deep down, Winry knew if she left Ed, something bad would happen.

The phone in the living room rang and she went to pick it up. "Hello."

Another familiar voice was on the other line. "Is Edward and Alphonse there?"

"Who's calling?"

"It's Colonel Roy Mustang! Don't tell me you guys forgot me and the military already!"

She chuckled, "Of course not." How could they forget the military. Ed and Al decided to become State Alchemist and serve the military. She didn't like it because her parents died while working with the military, but she would agree with them anyway.

"Ed! Al! The Colonel is calling!" Down came two brothers, who like her lost their parents. First was Alphonse Elric, the brother that was nicer and more respectful towards others. Then came his older brother and her current boyfriend, Edward Elric, who had it tougher than both Winry and Al combined. He decided to bring Winry's parents back to life by performing Human Transmutation. It failed and he lost his left arm and right leg. Good thing they were replaced by automail which Winry provided for him.

"Pass the phone, Win." She gave the phone to Ed and he put it up to his ear. "What do you want, Colonel."

"Instead of going to Central, come to East City. Furher Bradley gave me the pocket watches and the codenames for you two. My crew wants to meet you, but thanks to Hughes, they think you are a little, short-tempered kid."

"DON'T CALL ME SHORT AND WATCH WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM!" Ed heard laugher from various of people from the other line and from two who were behind him. "See! I told you that he gets mad when someone calls him short! Now each of you, pay up!" Roy heard grumble from the other line. "You still there, Ed-"

"WHY ARE YOU MAKING BETS ABOUT MY HEIGHT!?"

"Hey, hey, forget about that. I sended someone over to Resembool to escort you here. Someone you will be joyed to see. He should be arriving by now. See you here!" He hung up and Ed slammed the phone down.

They suddenly heard the door ring and Ed rushed over to it. He opened the door to see Maes Hughes standing here. "Yo-"

He was kicked back and landed flat on the ground. "What was that for, Edward?"

"The Colonel told me what you said about me to his crew!"

"Oh." Maes scratched his head and laughed. He got up and walked over to Ed and put a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry, but do you know what would make you feel better. A glimpse of photos of my wife and beautiful daughter, Elicia!"

"No it won't! Let's get going!"

"Okay."

Ed and Al exited and then Winry did as well, but Hughes stopped her. Ed and Al looked back and Winry looked up at him, her face expression changing to a glare.

"Excuse me, Miss Winry, but I don't think you should come!"

"I am going!"

"You can't-" Winry grabbed the neck his military outift and gripped it which shocked them all. "I am going! G-O-I-N-G! Going! Understand!"

"O-Okay then.."

She ungripped it and smiled. "Okay!" Damn, the words that nurse said is getting to her. But, she couldn't leave his side. She won't. She promised. She turned to Ed and Al and smiled again. "You guys ready!" They nodded rapidly and said their goodbyes to Pinako and left for the train station.

Maes put a hand on Ed's head. "I know who wears the pants in your relationship, Edward." He blushed and turned to Winry, who was smiling and blushing as well. "Shut up! I wear-" He stopped when he saw Winry glaring at him. He started sweating and shut his mouth. She was being way to serious about everything Ed did.

When the train to East City arrived, they boarded it and sat in their seats. They relaxed and got comfortable. Al sat next to Hughes and Ed sat next to Winry. After awhile it had gotten dark and the train was still going. Winry was asleep and leaned against Ed's shoulder. The rest were awake and stood quiet until Maes spoke.

"Yo, Edward."

"Yeah?"

"What's with the Rockbell girl? She seems different!"

Ed turned to a sleeping Winry on his shoulder. He stared at her for a couple of seconds before answering. "I have no idea. She had been so clingy and protective of me ever since we left Central a month ago."

"Did something happened to her?"

"I have no idea. We have been together for the entire time... Actually the only time we weren't together was when she went to escort Mei to her parents."

"It must had happened there, Edward."

"Yeah, I believe so."

Suddenly, Winry started talking in her sleep and spatted out random words.

"Never leave him... Protect... Ed... Something... bad... Promise... Nurse..."

Ed noticed a small tear pop from her eyes and wiped it away. Ed hugged her and they all sat and stared at each other with shocked looks. "What the crap is going on?"

Ed felt Winry slowly hug him and shiver a little.

"Keep... Promise... Will... Protect... Him... Forever..."

A/N: If you didn't understand that last part, read chapter 19 of "Alchemy & Automail" the First Arc of this series. It might help you a little.

What do you guys think of this chapter? It's very mysterious and did it leave questions you want answered?

Also any feedback about Winry would be nice. What you think about her agressive side. The nurse told her to never leave Ed's side so you can't blame her. Right?

Till next time. ^.^
