Prologue
In the land of Germany in the 1930's, after the time and failures of Hitler, two men could be seen sitting on a hill staring at a beautiful sunset.
"Alphonse…it's almost time to go back," spoke the older of the two men. The other boy nodded and stared at their surroundings, revealing that they sat in the middle of a giant circle, drawn with paint and an dead older man's body in the middle. The man held up a bomb and a red stone which he passed to the younger man.
"Brother, are you sure you want to go through with this and have me activate the circle…?" said the younger boy.
"It's a risk we'll have to take... now come on. We need to destroy this bomb as soon as possible! Plus, the Führer is waiting for us on the other side….at Amestris," the older man said with a confident look. Two other people appeared at the bottom of the hill and the men waited until they reached them.
"Gracia, Hughes!" the older man called out, addressing the couple as he waved to them.
"Ed…are you really going back…to your world?" asked one man of the newly arrived group.
"Yes, Mr .Hughes. Ed and I plan to return to our world. I'm glad I could finally convince you to wed Gracia though. That was a fantastic wedding," replied the younger boy as the members of newly arrived group blushed at the mention of their wedding.
"We shall miss you all terribly. Your situation seems so complicated…but…I look forward to the day you can come and visit," said a woman.
"We'll try, Mrs. Hughes, but I don't think we'll see you guys for a while...but for now, I'm sorry to say that the time for good-bye is over. Our comrades on the other side are waiting…," the older man said sadly as the circle began to shine a light sky blue. The couple walked away and stood at the outside of the shinning circle. The younger man put his hands together and put his hands on the grass. The whole circle turned blue and the two men went through the portal like whole, leaving the world they were in behind and popped up in a bustling city known as Central. There, familiar faces were waiting at the edge of an identical circle, all smiling.
"Führer Mustang! Colonel Mustang! Major General Armstrong!" the younger boy called out as he and the other man rushed to them.
"Welcome back, Elric Brothers," said a woman with a smile.
"It's good to see you again, Colonel Mustang, Führer, and Major General," The younger boy said with a sheepish smile. Everyone laughed and the five walked towards a building close by.
"It's so good to see you boys again...your faces sure do bring back a lot of old memories," a man with black hair said as his eyes clouded with the remembrance of the horrors he encountered several years ago.
"None-the-less, Führer, it's still good to have them back," said a nearly bald blonde man with a moustache.
"It's good to be back."
