Prologue
Doctor Tim Marco was in a hurry. His small home was a mess of papers, books and scribbled notes. As he hurriedly stuffed all this into suitcases and backpacks there was a loud knock on the door. Marco held his breath and crept over. Peering through the keyhole he could see... No. It couldn't be. He slowly and silently back away from the door, careful not to tread on anything. As soon as he was in the next room he broke into a run and rushed to the back door fumbling for a moment he pulled it open only to find... "Going somewhere, Doctor?"
The same time this was happening two people were running as fast as they could towards a small house on the edge of town. One of them was in a huge suit of armour, the other was short, with long hair and a determined expression on his face. "Hurry up Al" Said Edward Elric "We have to get there before it's to late" "It's harder when you're me, you try running in this thing" Said his brother, Alphonse. "Stop complianing. We all know you're a tin can but..." He was cut of by Al who gave an indignant cry of protest, "Hey! Quit with the can jokes." Ed laughed evilly. "Sorry." He said "but it's hard to resist."
Marco wimpered as his papers where torn up, every last bit of his research, into tiny pieces. "You've been a very naughty boy" Said a woman with hair so dark it looked almost black. "At first it was quite amusing. But now you're getting a little to confident." "No… No please" "So I thought I'd better put a stop to it, before you ruin everything." "I… I…" Stammered Marco. The door burst open. "Sorry to spoil the fun. But this party's just been crashed. By the Elric brothers." Ed and Al had finally reached their destination. "Not you two again. You're becoming quite a nuisance." Lust reached out and suddenly with a flash her nails were about seven feet long. "You're becoming quite a nuisance. And it's boring me."
