Chapter 1

Request from the Truth.

A blond haired boy is standing in the middle of an odd circle written in blood. He was bandaged and had a splint on his left arm. Around him is a creature that look like it was pieced together from the bodies of humans and a man that looks to be of Asian decent. The blond boy clapped his hands together and placed them on the circle that he was standing in, causing it to glow.

"It's been awhile." said the boy as black hand were appearing around him. "I never thought I'd be opening it in a situation like this." he continued as he looked at the giant eye that had appeared where the middle drawing of the circle had been. "Lin, jump in!" he yelled to the Asian man behind him.

"I'm putting my trust in you, Alchemist!" yelled the man, unsure of what might happen if he wasn't careful. As soon as his leg entered the circle, it began to be broken down by the small black hands that had appeared with the eye. "Waah!?" he yelled in confusion, not expecting what had happened. (The same feeling I had when gluttony swallowed me.) he thought as the rest of him began to break down.

"Rrr... Rrrgh..."moaned the creature as it to was being broken down. Some of the heads that were on the outside of its body were screaming while on said thank you to the blond haired boy which caused the boy grief from what he had done. There was a flash of light and the had vanished from where they were and had gone into a white abyss.

(The body and soul are connected by the spirit.) thought the boy as he was being broken down. (And a portion is in front of the portal of truth. There is no point in struggling. The soul is the signpost. Surrender myself to my soul and go with the flow... to the portal!!)

"Hm..." murmured a a pure white figure with a flesh arm and leg. "So you didn't come here to get that body back? He asked as he smiled in an insane way.

The blond boy appeared in the middle of a white place after he had been thrown out of the gate behind him. "...Ow..." he moaned as he had his left arm with the metal one that was his right. "Okay..." he said, getting up. "I'm finally here. "he turned around to see another gate. "...Huh? Why are there two portals?" he questioned tuning back to the one he came from only to notice someone was in front of the other gate. It was a dirty blond bot that was about his age with long hair and extremely thin. When the boy turned to face the other blond boy did the other boy did he truly notice it was his brother.

"Al!!" he shouted as he got up only to be stopped by the odd person that had limbs that looked like they had come from someone else.

"Sorry, but you must pay that equal price in oder to have the body to take back." said the odd person with an insane smile.

"What is the price I must pay, Truth?" asked the blond haired boy, angrily looking at the 'Truth'.

"I'm lad you asked. I have a request I would like you to fulfill and if you do, I will return your brother's body and your limbs. How does that sound?" asked Truth, looking at The boy as though he already knew the answer.

"It sounds to good to be true. What exactly is this request?" asked the boy, glaring at Truth as though he was lying to him.

Truth then smiled again and walked closer to the boy. "I want you to go to the other dimensions and fix the problems that are making them unbalanced. Each one has a problem that is causing them to become unstable and if they become too unstable the will begin to pour into other worlds, making them unstable as well. If this happens to all the worlds, the universe will collapse, destroying everything, even here." he finished looking at the boy.

"If I do this, you'll return everything you took from us without taking anything else?" asked the boy.

"Correct."

"Then I'll do it."

"Good. So lets begin." said the Truth as the gate behind the boy opened up and little black hands stated pulling the boy through. "Oh, and Ed, alchemy doesn't work in other worlds so you'll have to use whatever powers they have there." and at that the gate closed.

Author's note:Well this is just an introduction so it was kind of short and most of it was from vol. 13.

If you think it is worth it, please post a review and tell me if it's worth continuing. I won't do a next chapter until I get a few reviews.
