A/N: Ok, this is my very first crossover fic, so I have no idea how it's going to turn out... but hopefully it'll be ok! ^_^ I have been wanting to write a Slayers/FMA crossover for a while now for several reasons: 1) they are my two all time favorite anime series 2) I think Lina and Edward are very much alike, and so I think it would be very interesting if they were to ever meet ^_^ (with their combined powers and not to mention that they are both geniuses, they could either take over the world, or destroy it... since they both have really bad tempers...) 3) I think it would be a fun challenge plus, in both series you have the Philosopher's Stone as a highly sought after item (well, at least in the first season of Slayers) and so that is another fun element to add... anyway, there are some of my reasonings for writing this... Sorry the first chapter is so short, I'll try to make the second chapter longer. This is really more like a prologue than a chapter anyway... Oh and I got the title from a line in a Within Temptation song called See Who I am. I thought the song fit really well with my ideas I have for this fic, if you have time, I suggests looking it up, it is a fun song! ^_^

Disclaimers: Last time I checked I didn't own the rights to either Slayers or Fullmetal Alchemist... hold on though and I'll check again... -checks- Nope! Still don't! -cries- The rights go to Hajime Kanzaka (for Slayers), Hiromu Arakawa (for Fullmetal Alchemist), and anyone else involved in developing these two amazing series... and really, it's probably better that way! ^_^ Also, for those who know the series well enough also should be able to tell this already but... the opening part I did not write, but are direct quotes. The italicsed part is the Giga Slave spell from Slayers, and the other lines are the opening lines that Al says at the beginning to the FMA anime (the first anime).

Anyway, enough of this foolish chatter! On with the show!

See Through My Eyes:

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.

"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night!

To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

Lord of Darkness, shining like gold upon the Sea of Chaos,

That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange.

I call upon thee, swear myself to thee!

In those days,

Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed…

…we really believed that to be the world's one,

…by the power…

…and only…

…you and I possess!

…truth.

GIGA SLAVE!!"

The sky blackened as the world was blanketed in darkness. A howling pierced through the air with a pitch so high that only the ears of beasts were able to detect it. The wind crackled and sparked with a power and energy that was unlike any it had ever known and in all of their millennia of existence, the creatures of the world had never held their breath quite like they did this night as they waited in anticipation… waited to see if the world would see it's next sunrise or whether it would succumb to the darkness around them and they would all be consumed by it. Would this be the night when the mazoku race's dreams be realized? Will the world finally be returned to the Sea of Chaos? Ruby colored eyes stared into the sky that was darker than blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night…

I summoned this… I summoned this… this nightmare! The sorceress thought as she struggled to remain conscious. She knew that she could not lose control of this spell. Why is it that in order to have even the slightest chance of saving the world, I am forced to use the one spell that could destroy it?!

A hole seemed to be punched into the sky above as the fabric of time and space seemed to be torn asunder before her very eyes. Trees were ripped from the ground like they were simply weeds and boulders were crushed into fine grains of sand from the force of the wind. Lina Inverse watched helplessly as destruction reigned around her. The power of the Giga Slave was stealing every ounce of strength that she had in her body and it was all she could do to stay standing and to try and hold onto that power, but she knew she wasn't going to last much longer. She could no longer see where her friends were fighting around her, and she could only pray to whoever would listen that they were all alright. Just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, she sensed that something had changed. She looked up and saw what appeared to be a portal opening in the sky. There seemed to be hundreds of displaced eyes staring back down at her from what looked to be a stone doorway of some kind.

Is that… a portal from another world? Or… maybe the Sea of Chaos? Lina thought, eyes wide with terror. Before Lina could think any more about the strange new apparition in the sky, an explosion seemed to rip through space itself and she was thrown back into a rock wall, losing what little control she still held over the Giga Slave.

The deep tunnels that had been carved beneath the country shuddered violently and threatened to close in as the energy gathered to activate the giant transmutation circle. At the heart of the circle in Central waited the homunculi, the one they called 'Father', and those chosen to be sacrifices. The homunculi were ready to fulfill their plan at last… they were going to turn the entire country of Amestris into ingredients for the Philosopher's Stone. They all stood in eager anticipation as the energy gathered around them, hardly noticing that something wasn't quite right. The first signs to alert them of possible danger didn't manifest until the red alchemical light streaming around them suddenly turned dark and took on a chaotic atmosphere that even the beings with names of sin didn't welcome.

"What is this…?" The homunculus known as Envy sneered. Envy glanced over to the unwilling participants in their great plan, suspecting one of them to be the cause. Grabbing the Fullmetal Alchemist and roughly dragging him to the middle of the underground chamber, the homunculus asked, "What did you do?!"

Edward Elric laughed. "What, things not going as planned, Envy? Really, that's too bad…" Envy snarled and threw him down.

Ed looked around the room and saw Al not far away. He thought that maybe with the homunculi and their so-called father distracted, they could figure out a way out of this mess; however the air seemed to be almost thickening. He was finding it harder and harder to breathe as the air pulsed with the energy from the transmutation. He called out to Al, but he doubted that he could hear him over the roar that sounded from the mysterious wind that stirred from within the center of the chamber. All light was extinguished from the room and it was thrown into complete darkness. From within the darkness appeared a being of gold. Ed couldn't tell exactly what it was, but it seemed to be getting closer until the gold light became so bright he had to close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he cursed at the sight before him.

The Gate… He thought with horror. He noticed that something seemed different about it. On the large stone doors there were symbols and marking that he didn't recognize. At the top was a large circle with a sun at its center and several smaller symbols inside. Below that was a large star leading down to four more circles arranged in a diamond pattern with another star at the center of the pattern. A line connected the bottom circle to five smaller circles which were arranged in a rectangular pattern with one at the center, all of which were connected with lines. Strange text was written beside some of the circles, but he couldn't read it. It was in a language he had never seen before. He also noticed that two of the smaller circles on the bottom looked as if they had been scratched out by something. He started to back away from it, but it opened before he was able to take even two steps back. He glared at the familiar eyes staring back at him. The creatures from within the gate started to reach out and grab him. He fought them off as hard as he could but they wouldn't let go. There were too many of them for him to fight. Eventually they managed to start dragging him to the gate.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?!" He screamed at the creatures clutching onto his arms. As the gate began to close, darkness clouded his vision and he slowly faded into unconsciousness.

A/N: Thank you reading! Please review and let me know what you think so far! I know it's not much right now, but hopefully I'll have the next chapter posted soon! ^_^
