Chapter 1

"We've done it Al! We got the Philosopher's Stone!" mumbled Edward who has a small red stone in the palm of his hand. Alphonse hesitated and then nodded his metal head. "Don't be scared Al! We're gonna finally get your body back!", Edward smiled at his little brother. "And your's too brother!", Alphonse commented.

Edward finished drawing the Transmutation Circle and tightened his grip on the Stone. He looked at Alphonse. If you could see his eyes, they would be filled with determination and nervousness. "...Brother….?", Edward blinked, "ya?". "w-what if it doesn't work? What if something goes wrong? What if something happens to you? To both of us?", Alphonse asked in a scared tone. "It WILL work this time Alphonse! I promise I won't let anything happen to you! If something goes wrong I'll grab your soul along with your body as fast as I can!" proclaimed Edward.

Alphonse didn't have another chance to ask Edward anymore worried questions, for Ed started the Transmutation. Al took a deep breath. A bright red light shined on the Stone as Ed quickly put it on the markings from the ground. Then a bright yellow light shined around Alphonse on the Transmutation. Then the light started to turn dark purple. "Brother?", Alphonse squeaked.

The Colonel was looking through some papers on his desk in his office. Hawkeye, Havoc, Breda, Falman, and Feury were all on one desk on the opposite side by the door. As Mustang looked through the papers he noticed that Edward hadn't give him his report on the last mission they went on. They probably didn't find the Stone this time, like usual, he thought.

Mustang sighed. "sir, Edward hasn't turned in the report on the last mission.", commented hawkeye with her poker face. "Yes I know. I just noticed.". She looked at him, "shouldn't you go and tell them about it", she asked. Mustang groaned, "It will just end up with Fullmetal arguing with me about the papers and then about him being short.". Havoc chuckled, "isn't that an everyday thing though?". "Pretty much", Colonel mumbled as he stood up and walking towards the door.

The Colonel put his hand in the air to gesture Hawkeye to follow. She followed him out of the room. The other four went back to their work.

"I hope they came back in one peace.", said Hawkeye. "Ya. Whenever they look for the Stone they always end up beaten up from homunculi.", agreed the Colonel.

As they neared the Dorms they heard a loud explosion.

"What the-?", the Colonel and Lieutenant both ran to the place where the noise came from.

Once they reached the boys dorm the door was closed like nothing had happened. The Colonel sighed, "I swear those boys give me a headache every day.", he mumbled as he opened the door. As he opened the door it fell on the ground with a thud.

The Colonel and Lieutenant were stunned when they saw the room. The room was dusty with pieces of rock and stone on the floor. On the opposite end there was a giant hole in the wall with bits of rock falling off from it. You can see the clear blue sky's when you look through the gaping hole.

On the ground there was a big white circle with different symbols surrounding it. Rocks and pebbles were on top of it half destroying it.

In the middle of the half damaged circle was a little boy, naked. He was laying down not moving. His long brunette hair was covering his face so they couldn't tell who it was.

The Colonel ran to the boy thinking that it was Fullmetal. Hawkeye went to the hole and took out her gun and prepared to shoot. She looked out the hole but there was no one in site. The Colonel stood on his knees and picked up the boys with one hand on his shoulder and the other on his back.

Right away he knew it wasn't Fullmetal. He could tell because the boy didn't have a metal arm and leg and his hair was a light brown. The Colonel moved the hair from his eyes and saw that they were closed like he was in a deep sleep.

"Is..is he dead?", asked Hawkeye walking over to them. Mustang bent his head down where his ear touched the boys chest. He could hear his heart thumping, "He's alive, but we should probably bring him to the Hospital". He noticed a red coat with a black symbol laying on top of the boy. He wrapped the boy in the coat and picked him up like he was carrying a baby.

"Lieutenant, get Havoc and Breda and have them investigate in here to see what could've happened." the Colonel ordered as he started to walk out of the room. Hawkeye saluted to him and walked out after he did.

Havoc whistled, "wow, wonder what Chief and Little Chief did?", he mumbled with a cigarette in his mouth. "Dunno, but the Colonel mentioned a Transmutation Circle on the floor so lets look for that", commented Breda.

Breda saw a white marking underneath some rubble. "Hey what's this?", he asked. Havoc walked over to him. They both moved some rocks over. They both stared at the white circle and both eyes went wide. "Isn't that a Human Transmutation Circle?!", Havoc choked out. "Looks like..", mumbled Breda. "Why do you think they would do this again?", asked Breda looking at Havoc with a worried face. Havoc gave him the same stare, "Well.. maybe they finally found the Stone for Little Chief?".

Breda thought for a moment. "Well the Colonel is in the Hospital with someone. We don't know with whom yet. And Edward is no where to be seen..". "ya and this wall looks like someone blew it up. But from the outside", Havoc added. "How do you know it came from the outside?", asked Breda walking over to where Havoc was.

"Because, if you look closely enough on the outside, you can see that the hole looks bigger and that there's some black dust hanging from the outside.", Havoc answered. Breda poked his head out of the hole and turned his head to the side. He saw the dust that Havoc was talking about. "Ya, someone must've thrown some type of bomb to explode the wall. But why would they want to do that?", asked Breda. "Well lets look around and try and find some bomb", said Havoc.

They looked for a while and found nothing.

"Well that's weird…", said Havoc. "Well lets go and tell the Colonel what we found.", sighed Breda. "Ya I'm curious to know who the Colonel is seeing". The two walked out of the room and headed to the Hospital.

End of Chapter 1

(Sorry it wasn't nothing exciting, but the next chapter might be a bit better since it will be Alphonse's point of view and then Edwards and sometimes the Colonel's)
