Deal with the first chapter please. I know that it's short, but it's just a setting piece. it sets up the whole scene for what's gonna happen. i should probably just have added it to chapter two...but i didn't... read/review if you like! Please! I love getting reviews! They're like little pieces of Christmas wrapped for other times of the year!
The world is torn into many factions, all battling for supremacy. A generation ago, Edward Elric sacrificed his ability to use alchemy to help a group of heroes defeat Hohenheim's doppelganger. The doppelganger's subordinates, representations of the seven greatest sins drawn directly from his flesh, were recreated by another, an unknown faction. The seven were reborn, with only slight differences in their personas, and are causing havoc with the country of Amestis. Other rebel groups are throwing their weight against the nation as well. The few remaining Ishballans are still in riot, and Amestris is still waging war against their neighboring lands. Several insurgent groups of Amestrian soldiers and Alchemists have taken root to try and change Amestris's war policies. But this time, there are no to rise up and defend the country. Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist and then newly risen Fuhrer, has now passed on to be replaced by a nearly tyrannical, immensely unprepared dictator. The Elric brothers and their remaining friends succeeded in living happy lives, not all that long, but happy. Now everybody's hopes for salvation rest on the previous Fuhrer's daughter. Without his fire, not her mother's sharp shooting, Rizu Mustang is just now becoming a full-fledged Alchemist. Unfortunately for everybody, she is nowhere near to becoming the alchemist expecting, hoping, and needing. What the whole country needs is an immensely powerful alchemist who can rise up and unite the nation. Rizu is barely seventeen and just come into her power. And she's late for her final alchemic exam… before the Fuhrer…
