Chapter 1

Set Up

Ed has been looking for the philosopher stone for years to be able to get his arm and leg back not to mention his biggest regret, his younger brother's body.

He and his brother had just returned to Winry's house when Colonel Mustang called him back to HQ sounding think he was ready to shred some ass.

(At Colonel Mustang's HQ)

Ed walked down the hall to the Colonel's office recalling all the memories before he had left and after Mustang called him.

FLASHBACK

"What's up Ed? I heard Mustang's voice through the wall." stated Winry wiping some oil off her hands.

"I don't know. He said he wants me to come alone to HQ to discuss something very important." said Ed confused. "He seemed angry."

"What about me brother?" asked Al using anime sad eyes.

"He sad alone Al."

"So you'll be going alone to HQ to deal with an angry colonel?" asked Winry worried.

"Why do you seem so worried Winry?"

"It's just; Colonel Mustang has an ego the size of Russia! He doesn't seem like he'd get angry for no reason."

"Winry's right brother. He wouldn't demand you to come alone if something didn't totally go wrong… that you did."

"Do you think he had some plan with the philosopher stone?" Ed ran out the door toward the train station.

END FLASHBACK

"Edward."

Ed turned around to see Hawkeye standing at one the door, her eyes locked on his. "Hawkeye?"

"Come here… now!"

Ed sprinted down the hall to her. "What's up? I need to meet with Colonel Mustang."

"What is this about?" She took a wanted poster out with a picture of Ed with a side note saying bring Ed to Colonel Mustang. "Why is Colonel Mustang at your throat?"

Ed took the poster to evaluate it more.

There was an awkward silence…

Ed crushed the poster in his hand and then barged into Colonel Mustang's office. He was sitting in his big chair facing the window on the north part of the room.

"You think this is funny?" Ed shouted holding up the poster. "Is Scar not enough for you? Now your new target is me!"

"Full metal..." Colonel turned around in his chair, and then stood up. "You did the same thing to me!" He slammed his hand against his desk and held up a poster that had a picture of him. "I have my hands plenty full with Scar! Now I have you." He rolled up his sleeves. "I'll just have to deal with you now!" He snapped his fingers to create a fire ball that Ed dodged by jumping out the door.

"You have your hands full? Then why do you want me?" Ed clapped his hands and sent a wave of ground toward Mustang.

"Enough talking! Time to destroy you so you're not in my way anymore!" Mustang shouted using the wave as a launch pad.

Ed ran out the door with Colonel Mustang not far behind him. He kept running and looked over his shoulder once to see if he was leading Mustang out of the office. He smiled. Ed turned a quick corner and jumped off the wall setting him back on the ground with the speed he was going. 'My coat is holding me back!' he thought while running, he started taking off his trenchcoat but stopped as an idea popped into his head. He ripped his trenchcoat off then turned around running toward Mustang.

'What is he doing?' Colonel Mustang asked himself. When he stopped, he focused on figuring out what Ed was planning. He evaluated Ed's speed, his position in the hall, and his trenchcoat he was carrying in his hand. He thought he had it figured out, then Ed jumped into the air using the wall as a launch pad. He started coming down, trenchcoat first but it was what Mustang thought it was. He crossed his arms while Ed's trenchcoat wrapped around him.

Ed landed on one knee putting on a cheesy smile when he turned to look at his damage. He was shocked when he saw his trenchcoat falling to pieces with sparks of full metal alchemy. He looked past the burnt shreds to see Mustang protected by an alchemy shield of fire. "I'm a military officer full metal!" Mustang swung around sending a wave of flames toward Ed's feet. "That's the oldest trick in the book!"

He drew a quick alchemy sign with the dust on the wall and used it to create a wall in between him and the fire. He sighed, stood up, and dusted himself off. 'Okay Colonel Mustang wants me dead… but if he dies…"

"Edward! What's going on!" yelled Hawkeye from the mouth of the hall. "I could hear the racket from outside!"

"Mustang's after me! And I'm after him!" Ed clapped his hands before seeing red streams of light coming from cracks in the wall. He jumped back knowing that the wall was going to explode from the heat of Mustang's fire. Ed covered his head as the pieces of the metal wall came flying towards him.

"Colonel Mustang! What are you doing!" asked Hawkeye in demanding mode running right in between the two alchemists holding her arms out.

Mustang stared into her eyes before staring at Ed who was trying to regain strength. He heard his fire burning the fort behind him; the wood was snapping and crackling. "Taking care of a nuisance." He positioned his hand around her waist as to push her aside but he gave her a chance to move on her own. She didn't budge just moved back towards Ed. "Fine! You've left me no choice!" He snapped his gloved hand but before he released his fire, Hawkeye pulled her pistol.

"Sorry, Colonel but I can't let you kill the Central's youngest alchemist."

"What if he kills Central's Colonel! What happens then!" he glared putting pressure on her to decide who's side she was on. "Are you gonna lose me or lose him?" He shoved Hawkeye aside before she was able to answer and lit his fist with fire.

Ed jumped out the closest window before Mustang's fist made contact. Once Ed was on the ground, he slammed his hands on the ground creating metal spikes out of the ground. When he saw Mustang leaning out the window he mocked him. "Come on Mustang! Jump! It will hurt a little bit!"

"Damn you full metal!" He snapped his fingers sending a flame thrower down to the spikes then guided it after Ed.

Ed slammed his hands on the ground again creating a cliff type rock that he ran up and jumped off of clapping his hands then slamming them against the wall of the fort. "Ready Mustang?" He let loose his alchemy creating metal spikes that jumped out of the walls inside and out.

"Hawkeye!" Mustang called as he lifted her up in both his arms and jumped out of the window before a spike could come out of the wall. He was about to jump off the wall to avoid the spikes on the ground, only halfway melted, before a spike pierced him right on the side of his arm. He fell to the ground, bad shoulder first with Hawkeye still in his arms. He tried to push himself up with his good arm, but for some reason, he couldn't lift himself up passed his forearm.

Ed ran over and helped Hawkeye off the ground, getting her away from Mustang. "How does it feel Mustang? To be low on the ground."

Mustang pushed himself up real fast and unloaded a blast of fire making his eyes look red. Ed clapped his hands and slammed them on the ground creating a wave of alchemy toward Mustang's fire.

This was it… Mustang's heart and Ed's heart beat seemed to freeze in slow motion. One of them was going to be killed and the other in charge of Central.

Two other waves of alchemy caught Mustang's and Edward's attention by canceling their power with ease. Sharp pains across their backs made them both fall over moaning in pain. Ed felt back his pain to see what it was and a ninja star was there. He pulled the blood stained metal out and helped Mustang totally forgetting that they were fighting. Mustang scanned the surrounding territory seeing to alchemists. Dust was swirling so he couldn't make them out before passing out by too much blood loss.

"Colonel! Stay with me!" demanded Ed when he felt Mustang's arm get heavier which he had over his shoulder.

Mustang didn't answer.

"Well, that's one less we have to deal with." said one of the figure's to the other.

"Now to take care of shorty." It pulled a whip out of the back of it's belt and cracked it right at Ed's feet.

"So that's our plan? Is to just fake the guy out?"

"Make a few hits then wear him down 'til he passes out either of blood loss or exhaustion."

"Sounds good to me." It also cracked out it's whip and landed it right down Ed's arm.

"Damn! I can't see where they are!" he said to Mustang, who's is still passed out, feeling blood flow down his back and arm. The world started getting fuzzy in his eyes… then he passed out under Mustang's arm.

"Done."

"What about the girl?" The left figure pointed to the passed out Hawkeye.

"Leave her we want them."
