Another story YAY! I know what some are you are thinking. "She can't even keep up one story let alone two." But I just really liked the idea of this story and thought it would be a real hit. I really hope you guys enjoy it.

Prologue

ED'S POV

"GET BACK HERE!" I yelled as I chased a man (criminal) through the back streets of Central. "Dam he's fast!"

"What did you expect from a criminal who's been on the run?" Ling added as he ran beside me.

"LING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I yelled at him.

"Thought you could use a hand." Was his quick answer. I knew he was following me around and all, but I honestly didn't expect him to tag along on a mission!

"Whatever! Think you could cut him off from the front?" I asked him trying to focus on the problem at hand. The Coronel would never shut up if I let this guy get away. Apparently he's been escaping the military's radar for some time now. And the Coronel says it's high priority that he is caught, I think he just wants the promotion.

"Sure." Ling used a drain pipe to quickly scale the building to the right before continuing the chase by the roof. Fortunately the criminal didn't notice and was caught off guard when Ling jump down in front of him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ling asked the man as he drew his sword. Ed created a staff from a metal pole on the wall beside him. The man looked nervously at the two teens, sweat forming in his brow.

"Great job Fullmetal." I looked over my shoulder to find none other than the Coronel basted himself, great. "But I'll take it from here."

"That's fine by me." I replied stepping aside to let the Coronel past. I was more than happy to let him take over, I just means I can go and get Al and get back to doing research.

The man smirked as Mustang stepped closer. "You really think that I would go that easily. I have a mission to carry out and I intend on doing so." He taunted. Mission?

"What do you…?" Ling started but trailed of as the man shoved his hand in his pocket. He then pulled out something wrapped in a cloth.

"You'll see." He began to unwrap it to revel a small jar with a glowing red substance in side.

"A philosopher's stone!" I gasped, Ling and the Coronel also gasped.

"Where the hell did he get one!?" Mustang exclaimed.

Before we could say or do anything else he slammed the cloth, which I could now see had a transmutation circle on it, and the stone on to the ground. There was a bright light as I began to be deconstructed. I looked over at Ling and Mustang to see that they were also being decomposed.

I stood in a familiar white void. I blinked a few times trying to recall what the hell just happened. Ok? I was chasing a criminal. Cornered him. But he then pulled out a philosopher's stone and activated a transmutation circle. So question is, what did he do?

"I didn't expect to see you here so soon. Al-che-mist"

The echoed voice of Truth announced, I spun around to find him sitting there as casual as usual.

"But I doubt you will be visiting any time soon after this visit."

I looked at the white figure confused. "What makes you so sure?"

"You will find out soon enough."

The doors behind me opened and black hands began to drag me through them.

"It seems you have a little extra from the toll. So I'll give you a hint. Use the opposite key to open the door."

And with that, the gate closed with me on the other side.

Ok. Please tell me what you guys think of the start. I doesn't tell you much of what's going on but I think this story is really cool because it's going to happen in our world instead of the world of FMA. Which I don't see much so I thought I'd give it a try. Please tell where I can improve as I am only a new writer.
