This is my first Fullmetal Alchemist story, maybe it won,t be my last, time will tell. Now about the story, it takes place many years after the events of "Conquerer of Shamballa". I moved the movies time frame a few years forword in our world so it would better fit my concept. i didn't want Ed to be over forty. I may change a few things concerning the movie or the first anime. Also I'm not sure if I should give it a bit of action or make it a drama. Oh well, time will tell.
Chapter I
It's the year 1946. In a workshop on the outskirts of london a blond-haired man in his mid thirties with golden eyes was working on some strange machine. His name was Edward Elric.
He is a man of a short stature with long hair tied in a braid and a goatee. He also didn't have aright arm and left leg. instead of those he had some kind of mechanical prosthesis. Huge amounts of sweat were dripping down his face. He was working on this machine, that resembled a gateway, like he was on a deadline. He was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice that someone entered his workshop. The intruder was a young girl about then years old. She has long brown hair which part of it are tied into to braids. She also has golden eyes and a lightly darker complexion.
She approached the unsuspecting Edward from behind and hugged him with all her might. The man was a bit spooked. "What is it, Trisha?" He asked the little girl. "Papa, dinner is ready!' The girl said with smile. "Just a moment, I need only to finish one thing and..." "No Papa!" The girl interrupted him and made an angry face. "You only work nowadays. Come! Eat with me!" The man just smiled
and patted the girls head. "Alright, you win. Let's eat." And so they left the workshop for dinner.
The food was simple. A normal vegetable soup, but for him it was exquisite, because it was made by his little girl. They didn't talk much during dinner. Ed was just giving short replies to what ever his daughter was saying and thinking how much does she resemble her mother. After they finished eating Ed looked into his daughter's eyes and asked her. "Do you like living here?" At first she was puzzled. So she replied. Why do you ask Papa?" And he told her that he was thinking to return to his world. And that the machine his working on will help him to do that. In that moment he stopped to collect his thoughts before continuing.
- Although i don't want to force you, if you want to stay, we'll stay.
- If Papa doesn't like here than let's go.
- But we won't be able to comeback.
- That's alright, home for me is were ever you are Papa.
- Trisha...
Edward was on the brink of crying when he heard his daughters words, but stopped from doing so.
He thought to himself. "She saw to many tears, even if those are from joy."
- OK! Time to get back to work!
- No,Papa! You promised to play with me!
- No, I promised to it dinner together and i must finish the machine in three days or it won't work at all.
- OK, Papa, but when you finish you will definitely play with me!
- When I'm done, we'll have all the time you want to play.
And saying that he returned to his workshop.
Two days later somewhere around midnight he completed his gateway. Although he was tired after such exhausting days of work, he was also happy, but not cause he finished it at least not because of it. He was glad that he finish a day early, so that he had time to say goodbye to them. After locking his workshop tied he went towards
the bedrooms. Before going to bed he checked on his little girl. He was so focused on her sleeping face that he didn't notice a shadowy figure behind the window. "So you actually done it." Whispered the shadow. When Ed turned towards the window the shadow was already gone.
On the next day the father and daughter visited the cemetery. They were standing before two headstones. On one of them was written Noah Elric "a beloved wife and mother". and on the other Alphonse Elric "a beloved brother, uncle and a hero". "This will be the last time we visit you here. Today we are going back home I wish you were here with us. I know you Al would especially want to see Resembool again. Maybe we'll see each other again, but for now goodbye." Ed felt immense sadness just as the first time he said his goodbyes to each of them. With tears in their eyes they left the cemetery to prepare themselves for the journey. Few hours later the Elrics were packed. Ed was dragging two large trunks as well as a big backpack.
- Papa, do we need everything that is inside?
- I just don't want to miss anything important and how about you. Are you packed?
- Yes,Papa!
- Then let's start.
He begun operating his machine. Strange noises and flashes of bright light started coming from it. Finally in the gateway appeared a portal. On the other side of it they could vast fields of green.
"Resembool" he though to himself. He felt hope and joy. He told Trisha to grab his arm cause he couldn't hold, because of the two trunks. And so they ventured inside the portal. Just as they went through the gateway a shadowy figure appeared. The same that was watching them earlier. "So you actually made it, Edward Elric." And with those he followed them through the portal.
And so ends the first chapter of my new project. I wonder will I be able to complete at least one of them.
And what do you think about this one should I continue it or scrap it.
