A/N: I know, I know, I have two other stories that I am working on and I have every intention of finishing them. But I go with where the wind takes me. Besides the Wheel of Time Crossover can't be finished until the series is finished by Brandon Sanderson. This idea suddenly struck me as something that has never been done before exactly. I figure it will be fun. Once again I can't promise updates frequently due to being a busy college student. Let it begin.

From the archives of the Lord Wizards of House Elendil:

In recent years we have sensed great disturbances between the many worlds that we and the rest of the Wizard's Council are charged with protecting. Here is the story of an Amestrian Alchemist being sent to another world and his attempts to return to it. The reason for this happening is unknown, what is known is recorded in this tome. Of said alchemist appearing on the Sacae Plains in the universe which Elibe resides, a land once rich with the great intelligent dragons lived peacefully for a time, but that was almost 1000 years ago, not long to us, but still quite some time. This is the beginning of their next great story.

Chapter 1: A Girl from the Plains and the Paranoid Alchemist

Lyn wandered the plains with a great deal of loneliness; she had lost her tribe, what was left of the survivors would not follow a woman, they were old in their ways, the Lorca did not believe in direct female leadership as a whole despite what her father thought. She immediately stopped that thought, she knew better than to dwell on the past. Lyn had mourned her family for months already. She was ready for the pain to go away. But it just wouldn't leave her. She needed to go somewhere, do something; but those she would have travelled with were now dead. That was when she spotted the unconscious young man. He had blond hair in a ponytail. Lyn quickly realized that he needed help. This would be the perfect opportunity to have a travel companion.

As she lifted the young man Lyn noticed how strangely heavy that he was. Yet at the time she dismissed this for the fact that unconscious people tend to be rather heavy. Finally Lyn was able to lift the golden haired young man into one of the cots in her ger. From there she began to automatically check him for injuries. She found none so she waited for him to return to the waking world.

Edward Elric awoke slowly and in small parts. The first part that allowed him movement was his eyes. He scanned the area where he lay and found it very strange. The last place he remembered being in Central preparing for the Promised Day. It would come within a few days and now he was in what appeared to be a large tent with sounds that he could not physically relate to anywhere he had been in Amestris. A voice soon interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh, you're awake now."

Standing above Edward was a pretty young woman in what appeared to him to be a style of Xingese dress for women. She was also wearing a sword but with his experience with Ling's bodyguard, Lan Fan he could be in Xing, but that much time could not have possibly passed in order to get him there.

"What brings you to the Sacae Plains? Would you tell me your name sir?"

Getting his bearings Ed responded to the questions with,

"My name is Edward, but you can call me Ed. I've never heard of the Sacae Plains before. Is it near Xing?"

"Ed huh, well that's an odd name, but pay it no mind it is a good name. I am Lyn of the Lorca tribe. How can you not know of Sacae? Will you share your story with me?"

Before Edward could even begin to answer there was a great amount of sound coming from outside the ger.

"Bandits, I must stop them before they do any harm to villages around here. Ed, you wait here."

Edward being the stubborn person that he was did not follow Lyn's instructions. He finally managed to get up and follow Lyn out of the tent. As he did so Lyn then turned to him.

"Ed! I thought I told you to stay in the ger!"

"As if I'm going to listen to you! I have a problem with bandits myself. I'll help you."

"Help me? Can you use a sword?"

"Well no, but I was highly trained to fight without using weapons by my teacher."

Lyn hesitated, she didn't want the life she had taken care of for the past day to be lost. She didn't want to be alone in the world, yet she knew she was not strong enough to take on the bandits on their own, a little help would be nice for a change.

"Right then do you have a plan?" Ed asked her.

"Well no, I was just going to defeat and kill them." Ed's face went blank. He did not approve of killing he had joined the military determined not to kill. But if it could help him back home, he at least could come up with plans and maybe help Lyn with his alchemy. He soon had outlined a plan that he and Lyn would go with. Most of it involved capturing those they could and killing those that were too difficult with surprise being used as much as possible.

The first bandit that the pair encountered they defeated handily. Yet his large axe had clipped Lyn and injured her. This concerned Ed a great deal, he had no real experience with medical alchemy, Al was the one who had started to learn from that bean girl May Chang.

"Ed, reach into my satchel there should be a vulnerary in the pack. Pour some on my wound. It is in a brown sack."

Edward did as instructed and his eyes widened as he saw the wound simply stitch itself together right before his eyes. He couldn't believe it, there was no such thing as magic. It had to be alchemy, but alchemy needed a circle and this had absolutely no indication of a transmutation circle at all. But they had bigger things to worry about, specifically the other remaining bandit.

As they approached the other ger they saw a for lack of a better description a muscle headed barbarian. As they approached the man called out'

"You really think you can take on Batta the Beast?"

"Pitiful a man needs to call himself a best just because he is very large."

"Big talk coming from just a puny kid and a girl."

"A PUNY KID! I'LL RIP OFF YOUR LEGS AND STICK THEM TO YOUR HEAD YOU OVERSIZED CART THAT CAN HARDLY KEEP TWO THOUGHTS IN HIS HEAD!" And with that Edward Elric rushed at Batta. Batta quickly raised his axe to strike but was distracted from the charging boy by a sword quickly flashing from Lyn's scabbard scoring a cut right across his chest, although it wasn't very deep, in fact it wouldn't be very lethal on its own. So instead of attacking Ed he swung his axe at Lyn and scored a strong blow to her left side.

Lyn went down clutching her side but still determined as ever. It was about this time that she saw the bandit leader suddenly being wrapped up in with the earth itself, as if Mother Earth hated this man personally. The action had disarmed Batta and made them safe at the same time. Then she noticed Ed standing up and dusting himself off. She stared at him for a minute before dealing out justice to Batta for his banditry. And by her form of justice for banditry we of course mean she killed him.

"Why did you do that? We could have taken him to the magistrate and he would have dealt with it!"

"we are in the Sacae Plains. There are no lords or magistrates. The clans deal out their justice on their land. This land is no longer claimed by any clan. And so the bandits do what they will unless they are killed. Let's go back so we can rest and eat."

As Lyn spoke she already was headed towards her ger. Ed sighed and followed another of the many things he did not understand about where he was for the time being. The two ate in silence for their meal and then went quietly to sleep in their beds.

Ed woke the next morning to Lyn already cooking something over the fire. Being the ravenous guy he was he quickly got up and joined her.

"Good morning Ed! I will have our breakfast prepared soon."

"Great, I really appreciate the food. I don't even know exactly where I am or how I got here."

"That's fine I was wondering if you would now tell me your story."

"I will as long as you share your story with me. That way it would be equivalent exchange." At her nod he continued,

"It's a long story so to start out my father left my mother, brother and I when I was two or three years old. He simply walked out of the house one day and didn't return. It would not be for many years before I saw that bastard again. My brother and I studied alchemy from his books when we were young. We did it because when we showed our mother the results she would always be happy. But then one day when I was about eight, she died that was when my brother, Al and I decided to go out into the world to learn alchemy. It took a few years in our hometown of Risembool to find a teacher, but eventually we found one who was traveling. We left for over a year training and returned home."

Ed paused for a moment he could tell Lyn was dying to ask a question.

"What is alchemy? Is that what happened to that bandit with the earth? That wasn't magic?"

"Of course not! Magic doesn't exist, alchemists are scientists."

"Vulneraries, and the powers wielded by mages, bishops and shaman using great energies."

"That's not physically possible!"

"Allow your mind to open Ed! We must agree to disagree and I will prove to you what is true."

"Fine, but until I have proof it exists I say it doesn't."

"Hey, Ed I was wondering if I could travel with you?"

"Why, what about your family, wouldn't they miss you?"

"Oh, my family is no longer alive. They and most of my tribe were killed in a bandit raid about half a year ago. Please, I'll be your peerless swordswoman and you can be my genius tactician."

"Tactician?"

"That's what we'll say you are to avoid too much attention. No one here has ever heard of alchemy so I would suggest you keep it quiet unless we absolutely need it."

"Very well, where would our first stop be on this journey? I just know I need to find a way to return home to find my brother and help my friends. I have a promise to keep."

"You could try Etruria, they have large amounts of territory, perhaps they can help you. But no matter where we go we should go to Bulgar first for supplies. We will head there tomorrow. It will be nice to have some company for once."

"Very well, tomorrow it is, but look at the time we should get to sleep it is already late in the day from our story telling.

The following morning Lyn and Ed set off for the largest city in the Sacae plains, Bulgar. It took them about five hours of walking while alternating of Lyn's horse. Ed was only a barely tolerable rider, he knew how to ride, one found ways to learn in rural towns but he concentrated on alchemy rather than how to handle horses. Thus began a rather embarrassing journey for Ed. Lyn would occasionally burst into giggles at his riding skills. She knew such people who didn't work well horses but on the Sacae Plains it was almost unheard of in nomad tribes many thought that children were born in the saddle in some cases. It was close enough to the truth, all Plains-folk knew how to ride and care for horses very well as a matter of pride.

They finally made it to the bustling city of Bulgar. To Ed's eyes it was just a glorified market. He had spent a great deal of time in large cities in Amestris, specifically Central and East City. Even so it is easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy area. So it was he and Lyn stayed near one another. They had soon decided on splitting up and meeting in the forum of the city. Ed went off to gather a few maps and other miscellaneous items. He soon found a mapmaker who was worth his salt. Edward could tell by the detail and the areas that he already recognized from his journey thus far with Lyn. In addition to the local map he purchased a large map. It was then that Ed realized he was in a different world. The map described itself as the continent of Elibe. He realized that getting home could be much more difficult than he even realized before. It was then that he headed over to where he saw Lyn. She was in conversation with a man in green armor.

Lyn was already getting highly annoyed with the green armored buffoon. First he simply walked up to her and started flirting before she even acknowedged him and he was trying to impress her. If it had been under the circumstances of a well known friend it would have been tolerable if nothing else. She was travelling with Ed and waiting for him to return not for this buffoon to continue to try to woo her. Her scathing remarks seemed to have little to no effect on the man in question. Finally Ed showed up and she spoke up,

"Come on Ed, let's leave."

At his nod they turned only to be blocked by the green knight and another in red armor who seemed to be chastising the other. Lyn then spoke up,

"Excuse me but you are in the way. Would you mind moving so that we may pass?"

"Of course, my apologies."

"Thank you, it seems at least that some of you have manners." But of course, this was right a slight recognition flashed in Kent's eyes. Ed noticed it but Lyn didn't.

"Pardon me but have we met before."

"No fair Kent, I saw her first."

Kent's question would have been polite and logical considering his mission had it not been for the green knight's interjection of what he assumed was flirting on his counterpart. It was the green knight, Sain who had just spoke up right after Kent's question that pissed off Lyn no end.

"Tsk. Come on Ed, we have better places to be it seems I was wrong about these two."

As the pair left Kent unsuccessfully pleaded that what Sain implied was not what he meant. So he rounded on his companion.

"Sain you lout! I was asking because I think that she…"

"You think that she is our mission?"

At Kent's nod the pair quickly rode after the forms of Ed and Lyn who were quickly leaving the city.

Ed was the first to realize that they were being followed, and it wasn't by supposedly lecherous knights. No, these were killers that enjoyed the act of killing and plundering. Just as he was about to let Lyn know she turned to him.

"We're being followed. Is it those knights? No. These men are out for blood. We must prepare ourselves."

As she readied her sword Ed clapped his hands together and from the earth he summoned a spear. The spear that he created with alchemy had a serpent, almost a dragon wrapped around it stylistically. Lyn's eyes widened, with the way that Ed had done this he was not new to the trick and knew how to use the weapon. It was then that the leader spoke up,

"Is your name Lyndis?"

"What did you call me?" Lyn asked in surprise, no one alive knew she was called that anymore. The only ones who called her that name were her parents.

"Such a shame to kill you. The things I do fer gold. Alright boys let's get her!"

As they were about to attack suddenly a voice shouted out,

"Ho! There they are."

All turned to gape as Kent and Sain, the two knight quickly rode up to face the bandits. It was then Sain spoke up,

"All of you against a girl and a boy. Shame on you cowards." As he spoke the bandits retreated to gain more room to set ambushed against the now larger force. It was then that Kent turned to Lyn and offered his and Sain's help. Lyn seemed hesitant but then agreed when he offered for him and Sain to be under Ed's command.

Thus the skirmish began. Sain was missing with a fair bit of the time considering that the axes were able to easily block his lance. Ed had similar trouble with the axe wielding brigands, but he hadn't fought with a lance for a number of months; he had been focused purely with alchemical combat with homunculi and their allies. Even so he scored hits on many of the bandits while fight side by side with Lyn. Lyn was speeding death to the bandits. Finally they reached the leader of the bandits and Lyn spoke to her allies,

"He's mine, I want answers to why they want me dead."

Within a few seconds Lyn had disarmed the leader of the bandits with her sword. She then asked,

"Why are you after me? Who sent you."

Instead of answering the man pulled a dagger and lunged at Lyn. Yet Ed stepped in and with his right arm deflected and broke the dagger when it stuck him. In the next motion his lance pierced the man's chest.

It was then after the defeat that Lyn turned to Kent and Sain and spoke,

"And these knights were going to share their story with me?"

After their explanation Lyn turned to Edward,

"I'm sorry Ed, we were planning on heading for Etruria but now I want to meet my grandfather. I thought that I was all alone in the world. And now that I know that I have some family left I want to meet him. Can I count on your continued support?"

"I don't see why not, I probably will need to travel all over to find a way home. One way is as good as another."

"Thank you Edward. Then we will join these two knights to Caelin in Lycia."

That night they settled down around the fire and Sain turned to Ed,

"So tell me Ed how did you take that dagger to the arm and break it without so much as bleeding a drop of blood. Surely you cannot be that heroic."

Ed looked to Lyn and Kent, they both were looking at him with a great deal of interest. And he sighed,

"I'd rather not talk about it. Let's say I gained it as a result of my misspent youth. I now bid all you good night"

With that Edward went to sleep. Lyn made plans to stop at the resting place of the Mani Katti and Kent took first watch.
