The day it began for them…

East City, Amestris…

It was normal… well as normal as one day can get in East City. The streets were busy, just like any other day. People walked, talked, and laughed, cars rolled up and down the parkway. It wasn't boring, but too normal wasn't a good thing it sets up for something bad.

"What the hell do you mean!" a voice rang out through Eastern HQ.

"Now, now Fullmetal, there is no need to yell. It's just a simple mission; once you're done you can get back to looking for your stone." Said Colonel Roy Mustang looking over his desk to see the boy who, despite his size, had a very loud voice, and an even more exotic language barrier then most his age.

"You never give us any damn time for that Colonel! I'm always running errands for your lazy ass. We just got back from Westria, which you forced us to do, and now your sending us some place else, can't you get some one else to go?" Edward Elric turned his annoyed gaze away from Mustang signaling he was done with his rant.

"This will interest you both, Fullmetal." Roy said "Now, the other State Alchemists are spread thinly through out Amestris. You are the only available State Alchemist right now, and we will use you anyway we see fit." He was once again reminding Ed of his place with in the military. He was theirs to use. Anytime, any place, no matter what the job.

"I know my position! But Al and I haven't gotten anytime go on the leads we've found."

Mustang went on as if he wasn't even interrupted, "There is a settlement close to the western desert, where reports are coming that the entire populace has completely vanished. Many other small communities have also had their population depleted. Those who get away keep saying crazy stuff like 'hearts their after our hearts!' or 'shadows they hide in our shadows'. Crazy as it seems we have to assume that it's true because we have no other leads."

Ed turned to look at his superior with disgust, "So you want me and Al to go to investigate this town on a rumor. It's probably some kids playing a prank."

"That's what we thought originally, but… since then any military officer that goes there to check it out doesn't report back." With that said Ed shook his head with a smile.

"Colonel, this sounds highly impossible, are you sure you haven't cracked?"

"It's not impossible. Remember Lebis, same thing happened with those golems…"

"Wait your not seriously thinking that it could be them again! We were all there and I personally destroyed the crimson elixir…"

Ed was ranting.

"Fullmetal…"

"It just can't be them…"

"Edward…"

"No one could be as stupid as to do it again…"

The Colonel could take it no longer, he finally snapped and with that snap an explosion appeared right above Ed's head.

"What the hell was that for!" Ed yelled from where he was on the floor.

"Will you listen? I didn't say it was them, but I can't say it isn't them either. That's why were sending you in, you no the most about them."

Ed who was now sitting across from Mustang was listening as if just now everything was making sense. "So you want me and Al to…"

"Hold it there Fullmetal. You won't be going alone, it seems that I have the higher ups breathing down the back of my neck for…"

"Being a lazy ass?"

Roy made a face but didn't deny what Edward said, "Well, as the case maybe it seems they believe I haven't been fulfilling my role here at East City… properly. So the Lieutenant and I will be accompanying you too."

Edward nearly fell backward in shock. Not only was he going to have to go on this mission, he was going to have Colonel Sarcasm along with him too. But something else was tugging at the back of his mind. They were both going.

"I can tell that you are coming to the same conclusion I did. The higher ups want us out. Ever since that business with Gluttony, they have tightened the choke hold around us. They want to keep us busy by making us run around for them. Anything to keep us from seeing whatever the bigger picture is, they'll find it and put either you or me on the track." Roy frowned.

"It doesn't matter what track they put me or Al on. It could be the farthest thing from what we're looking for. We'll always get the answer we want. The Philosopher's Stone. Even this will only delay us from our goal." Ed said undoubtedly. Mustang cracked a half smile at Ed's positively hot headed behavior.

Ed cracked a wide smile, determination in his eyes. "Looks like we have ta' do this huh?"

Roy himself smiled giving the boy in front of him an equal gaze. "Seems we have no choice."

The Village Hidden in the Leaves…

The buildings that had crumbled were now being reconstructed. Trees lay where they had fallen, pieces of crumbled house had been moved from the middle of the dirt roads. And finally peace was returning to the Hidden Leaf Village. It was only three weeks after Pains attack, but things were running smoothly again. Everything except, "Naruto!"

"Where is that knuckle-head?" Sakura's voice could be heard running through the broken streets of the village. Walking isn't a word that would be used to describe the way she was looking for him. Stomping that was it. She was stomping through the street looking for him. She was going to kill Naruto.

Naruto was blissfully unaware of the doom that is Sakura coming to get him. He was at Irukae's Rumen House with Rock Lee and Choji. Both good friends and comrades of his. Lee or as Naruto called him Bushy Brow, wore a green jump suit with a lighter green vest over it. He had a pack hooked onto his waist where he kept his paper bombs, kunai throwing knives, and ninja stars. He was very energetic and believed anything could be solved through hard work. There was no such thing as a finish line for him. He could always be better then the day before.

Choji was almost completely opposite of Lee. He was large. Wore red long sleeve shirt with matching pants. He wore a gray mesh over his body for protection. His long spiky hair was held out of his eyes by a bandana with a metal plate on it showing off the village's symbol. Choji, unlike Lee would be happy to stop anytime for a meal. But he is a loyal friend and strong which made him a tough opponent.

"Murmph! Hey Naruto, don't you think we should get back to working on the Academy? I don't want Guy-sensei or Neji on my case." Lee said threw a mouthful of veggie rumen.

"Yeah, Shikamaru is going to use his jutsu to make me work. I'd rather chose what work I do. The kind I can do, the easy work."

"It's ok guys. We'll get back to work later. Now its time to ea…" Naruto smiled

"NARUTO!"

Naruto's heart almost stopped in fear. He turned around slowly in time to see Sakura wined for a punch to his head. With her monstrous strength she was a scary opponent, with a bad temper that could switch from happy to livid in a second. Especially when it came to Naruto.

He dodged Sakura by scrabbling over Lee at the last second making Lee's head fly into his rumen. He was breathing heavily out of fear alone. Nothing scared him more then an angry Sakura.

"You knuckle head! Is food all you think about? I should kick you back to the academy." Lee and Choji were snickering at this. "I should do the same to you two too!" Sakura yelled as she spun around. Sakura glared at all three of them, as if thinking of an evil to get them to work. Her red ninja dress was scuffled with dust and cement, which meant she was rebuilding the Academy's walls. They could tell she was in a bad mood and for some reason they couldn't think of what caused her to get so angry. Naruto and Choji were holding their breath, Lee's foot was twitching ready to move incase she decided to punch one of them.

She grunted, "Lee, Guy-sensei said he wants you working on the village entrance with Neji. You're late." Lee stopped twitching and gave his usual salute before disappearing toward the direction of the entrance.

"Man… I wish I had Bushy Brow's speed right now." Naruto whined enviously. He could use a quick escape right now. Sakura heard his remark, "You, Naruto, will be helping Kakashi, me, Shikamaru, and Choji rebuild the walls in the Academy, now come on!" They walked away after paying the bill, which was enormous, and went to the Academy. Everywhere Naruto looked there were people working on repair. Five of the locals were working on cleaning up a wall that had been destroyed when the battles had taken place all over the Hidden Leaf. Since the Academy was destroyed the ninja students that went there were running around performing little chores and tasks. Seeing all these people work while he had been eating made him feel bad.

The work was hard. Kakashi made him do extra work without using his jutsu. The sun was now on it downward descent to meet the horizon. Naruto and the others were just about to leave when Ronzo appeared sweat trickling down his face, but the wasn't the only thing. He was bleeding. "Ronzo! What happened?" Kakashi asked as he ran up to him, Sakura as a medical nin was right behind him. She already her medical pack out.

"Black creatures attacking village entrance. Lee and Neji are in trouble." The words came out in gasps. He blacked out.

Naruto was already running toward the fight. In the distance he could just here the sound of a paper bomb.

Provisional Clone Encampment on Geonsis…

Ahsoka sat on the dusty rock that was apart of the dreary environment on the planet. Sand covered everything. It was, after all, a desert planet. She would be surprised if there wasn't dust flying into her face.

Her cloths were dusty, with the occasional oil or what ever liquid came out of the droids. Her orange skin hadn't faired any better, but knowing made her antsy and she kept brushing herself off. Behind her the sound of working came up from the clones loading up empty and unwanted crates, along with hurt clones and broken equipment. A supply ship was on its way with food, water and what they needed most, new troops. Soon they were going to pack up in this area and keep working toward the droid assembly plant twenty clicks north-west from their position. But for now she was enjoying, if not loving, the fleeting peace that would come and go when on a battle torn planet.

Ahsoka was about to let her guard down completely when she felt something. It was dark she could tell that much. Her skin crawled as if it were made of spiders, she looked around to see if she could pinpoint what caused the disturbance in the force. She turned around deciding to go tell her master about this matter, and walked back to camp. If she would have stayed a second longer she would have seen a shadow crawl out of the ground and watched her go.

Some said hi as Ahsoka walked through the rough looking camp. Her master, Anakin Skywalker, was as she could tell just getting back from a briefing with the other masters. He still had a bored look on his face, but he was also concerned about something. Ahsoka ran up to meet him, "Hello Master."

Anakin looked as if her voice hadn't even registered in his brain.

"Uh…Skyguy if you keep walking you'll run into that stack of crates." She said looking ahead of them. It finally registered in his head that his padawan was talking to him.

"Oh. Hi Snips." He said, turning to her. "What's wrong? You look like something's on your mind."

"Master I felt something… a tremor in the force, but when I looked around everything seemed fine."

"Are you sure?" Anakin asked incredulously, but he could tell she was sure of herself. "Then I'll set up security while we're camped, until the supply ship gets in. Then we'll move to the next check point." Ahsoka relaxed a little more. She even sighed inwardly and outwardly, which caught even more of her master's attention.

"It seems that you were more than a little worried about this."

"It was really weird Master, the feeling of coldness swept over me. It seemed to be coming from somewhere close by; I even think that it, whatever it was, was watching me. But it was gone as fast as it came. It had it own consciousness too." She explained.

Anakin nodded his head absorbing the information.

"Rex, I need you to put together a surveillance team. Ahsoka and I have a feeling something is coming. I want updates, and see if you can find the supply ship too." He said into his com-link. We? She mouthed.

"Right away sir." Came a voice from the other side.

It was later in the day and her nerve had calmed down a lot since the tremor in the force. She had scaled one of the cliff walls and was now perched up on one of the rocks. Ahsoka overlooked the sun baked ground below her. In the distance more plateaus and mountains rose from the ground, the wind was whipping up the sand, and the suns where casting huge shadows all around. Ahsoka looked below her to see the make-shift camp. It was like looking at ants. It hit her now just how high up she actually was. It was like floating. Just floating. For a moment there was no ground under her, she was up in the sky looking down on her camp like a search droid. Right now she was far away from the war, from the planet, from anything. Ahsoka closed her eyes; she was at peace but only for a second. Fuoom! Ahsoka's eye's opened instantly. She ran over to the edge of the cliff in time to see their dwindling supplies being engulfed in orange flame; the tent next to it was also being engulfed. The next thing to go was the communications equipment. We can't call for help now! Ahsoka thought as she launched herself off the side of the cliff, and hurtled toward the confused chaos on the ground. When she landed she instantly had her green lightsaber engaged. She couldn't see any immediate threat around her but she sensed the same disturbance as before. Only this time it was stronger. Ahsoka went with her gut instinct and ran pass the burning structures and out to the entrance of the camp. Ahsoka gasped. It was sense but it was closer, she looked down to see yellow bug eyes staring at her from the ground.

The Black Order, England…

Complete disarray. Allen, was currently on the way to Kuomi's office. Kuomi was head Supervisor at the Black Order, and Allen had to report to him in case of emergencies. This is definitely one of those cases. He had already seen the 'things' that have invaded headquarters. They were small black creatures, but at least they weren't akuma. If they were his cursed eye would have activated by now. That left the question of what where they if not akuma? He didn't have time to dwell on his thoughts as three more of the inky creatures came up from the ground. He activated Crown Clown, his innocence, and tried to make quick work of them but they kept merging with the walls and floor.

"Why? Why can't I hit them!" He yelled out in frustration. "Clown Edge!" Allen thought it was worth a try since nothing seemed to be working, and like everything else he tried it was ineffective against the shadows. Shadows, since they seen to merge with the walls and become shadows it was the perfect name, Allen half smiled at what he was thinking during a fight like this.

"Gouka Kijin! Hi Ban!" A familiar voice yelled. The Shadows were swallowed in a fire snake, not even the one that merged with the wall was spared. The Hi Ban destroyed everything even the walls. "Hey Moyashi, was wondering where you were."

"Lavi!" Allen didn't even mind that Lavi called him that. He was just happy to see him, that and the fact that he'll get him back later.

"Lenalee, Kanda, Kuomi, and Panda Jiji were all waiting for you to arrive so naturally I, being the kind of guy I am, went looking for you. We need to go now though." Lavi extended his hand for Allen to grab. The silver haired youth happily grabbed the other exorcist's hand. Lavi, like any other exorcist, had innocence. His was called Big Hammer Little Hammer. His innocence could size-shift to be the size of a small house or the size of a regular hammer. It could also extend carrying him with it, which is probably what he used to get here. Along with those powers Lavi's innocence could manipulate the aspects of natural by using ban's or seals. "Shin." They began to go downward.

"Lavi, what- what about everyone else? Miranda, Marie, Chaogi, Reever. Are they with the others too?"

He turned his head away form Allen, as if to hide guilt. He braced him self for what he knew Lavi was going to say. "No, Allen. It's just us down there, no one else is left." He stated solemnly. Allen's heart shattered, and already he could feel tears coming to his eyes.

"What do you mean no left?"

"…"

"Lavi, what do you mean no one left!" Allen yelled. Lavi sub-consciously flinched, but kept silent still.

"Danmmit Lavi tell me!" Lavi finally gave up and nodded.

"I was in the library when all this started. I was with a couple of finders when those creatures came in. They went straight for the finders… I …don't know how to describe what happened next." Lavi stopped for a few seconds, collecting his thoughts, and then went on.

"They plunged their claws into the finders' chests but no blood came out, it was like Tyki Mikk's power. Then they started to fade right before me. I tried to reach out to one of them, but I was to late all that was left of the three were glowing hearts." Tears were streaming down Allen's face. He might not have known them but they were apart of the Black Order, his family.

They hit Kuomi's office once they reach that floor. Allen was immediately hit with a big hug from Lenalee.

"Che, finally the Moyashi comes." A blue haired samurai named Kanda huffed. Even though he was trying to hide it, Allen could see that even the unemotional Kanda had been a little worried.

"So this is everyone huh?" A depressed Kuomi said from his desk.

"It would seem so…" Bookman was interrupted by Allen who yelled. "No! There has to be more people out there! We hav'ta go look for them."

"Allen, there is nothing we can do." Lenalee sobbed as she clung to his exorcist uniform. Allen looked around at the regret on his friends faces. His mind was made up now. He might not have been able to save the others, but he was going to save the ones standing before him.

Sadly all thoughts of that happening quickly vanish as did the ceiling and half of the walls. The once intact room was quickly destroyed as half of the room was sucked up into a dark void.

"What the hell!" Lavi yelled as he clung to the remains of a book shelf. Kanda was spitting out profanities, his innocence Mugen, stuck in the ground to keep him from being sucked up. Lenalee was holding on to him with new fervent, as Allen him self was using Clown Crown to hold him to the ground. The wind was immense, and it scattered the pages of unlooked over and unsigned reports and paper work. This is the one time where Kuomi had a good excuse of not looking over his work. Allen looked at his friends. Kanda, Lavi, and Lenalee… where are Bookman and Kuomi? Allen looked around through the whirling paper, but couldn't find them.

"No…no…" Allen whispered. Nothing below a yell was audible in the suction of the vortex.

Kanda had stopped swearing and was holding on tight to Mugen. His long blue hair was swirling behind and above him. Lavi was in a similar predicament, except the fact that the book shelf wasn't as sturdy as Mugen. Lavi started to slide.

"SHIT!" Lavi screamed over the drone of the wind.

"Lavi!" Allen yelled as he saw that his fiery red headed friend was lifted off the ground.

"Lavi!" Allen could just hear Lenalee. Allen seriously though he could hear her heart crack as they watched Lavi disappear into the darkness. Kanda was holding on tight, Allen extended Crown Clown and grabbed a hold of him. They weren't going to lose him too. Crack!

Allen looked in horror and Lenalee screamed as the ground broke under them. Soon all he saw was the darkness.
