Chapter 1: New Beginnings
Edward and Alphonse Elric stared. Both are shaking with shock from seeing their only mother just get shot. Right in the chest, the bullet lodged itself inside their mother's heart, killing her before she could muster a scream. The brothers both hugged each other in fear of the man, that had a sadistic grin when he pulled the trigger. Ed and Al closed their eyes bracing themselves from the gun pointed in their direction. "I hate all Ishbalan's, and you two kids are no exception," the man rose the gun, aimed and shot.
BAM! BAM!
But the bullets never reached its target. Edward had transmuted the wood from underneath them and made a shield from the bullets, protecting them both. The man's mouth dropped in surprise and shock, he knew Ishbalan's thought of alchemy as a taboo and a devils craftsmanship. Why would this blonde haired ishbalan boy know alchemy. The man ran out of the house when other officers asked for back-up.
"Al, its alright he's gone. He isn't coming back," Ed whispered to his scared little brother, Ed closing his eyes trying to remove the image of his dead mother out of his mind. He clutched tighter when tears started falling from his eyes like small little rivers. Both of them crying until the shooting stopped. Then the silence came, Ed opened his eyes and saw that the sun was no longer shining and in fact the moon had risen and its eerie glow was the only light.
"Brother im scared," Alphonse's voice hoarse from the crying. "I want to get out of here." Ed wiped the tears still falling from his brothers eyes. Ed got up and pulled his little brother up as well and they ran from the small house to the underground church where the victims of the Ishbalan war were refuging. When they arrived they were instantly taken to the large infirmary and looked at. Both boys were unharmed but shaken.
"Alice, could you take theses two to the other children, please?" asks one of the nurses. A teenager took the two boys to where the nurse specified and sat down with them and the others. The other children ranged from two to seventeen, all of them with red eyes and tanned skin stereotyping them from Ishbal. Edward and Alphonse have red eyes and have lighter than normal of an Ishbalan skin and light hair. If seen by the military they would have been shot dead.
For days the war went on and more and more people were arriving at the church. More and more were killed. And the more and more angrier Ed got. Why did the military have to come and start a war, Ed thought. But my main goal is to keep Alphonse alive. When the moon rose that night it would change. When the clock struck midnight, there was nothing but silence. Not a sound could be heard, except the breathing of the others in the room. For everyone it was time to sleep, but not for Edward Elric. Edward wanted his mother back and for this war to stop, he remembered his father leaving a book on human transmutation and left the church and arrived at the surface.
It looked like a bomb had gone off and one probably had. Ed wasted no time and quietly walked towards his house and when he arrived he went down into the basement and found the book and lit a candle, knowing there was no windows for the light to slip through. It was almost dawn when he had finished the book and decided to take Alphonse with him to transmute his mother back when night struck again.
"Carbon 18 grams, hydrogen 10 grams, nitrogen 3 grams, calcium 1.5 grams, phosphorous 1.2 grams, potassium 0.2 grams, sulfur 0.2 grams, chlorine 0.2 grams, sodium 0.1 grams, magnesium 0.5 grams, iron 3.8 grams and small traces of other elements" Edward read out of the book. Looking up at an unsure Alphonse, Ed smiled reassuringly. "Ready, Alphonse?" Al nodded. They both clapped their hands together and put them on the human transmutation circle. It glowed a blinding blue then suddenly turned a bloody red and backlashed. Ed could hear the screams of pain from his younger brother and saw black moving slime-like arms grab his brother and drag him into the middle of the circle.
Edward felt the same pain the same arms grabbing his left leg and ripping it right off. He screamed loudly, the pain making him want to pass out, fear of his little brothers life keeping him awake. Ed then saw a suit of armor remembering how to attach a soul to the armor he drew the transmutation circle with his blood, praying that it would bring his brother back. Feeling the intense pain of his right arm being ripped off, Edward passed out the last thing he hears was his Alphonse's voice whispering 'brother?'.
