Chapter One: Camisado(?)

"So... This... this is the gate to the other side..." A tall, dark haired man clad in a blue military uniform stood staring into the abyss of the purple ring that led to Germany. "He's in there... I can't let him stay there.. he has to return to me, but," The ebony haired man wiped a tear from his lone eye, the other covered in a patch, "I promised Al that I would destroy it. So no one else can cross through..." He sighed heavily.

General Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, was given orders to destroy the gate that led him to his one and only love, Edward Elric, whom, after two years, he only saw briefly. Placing a white glove on his right hand, he readied it to snap. His hand shook roughly as he held it in front of him. "I can't do it.. I have to see him again. Just one last time. I need to hold him in my arms, let him know how I feel..." He chuckled slightly, thinking about the boy. "He's changed so much in the two years we were apart, but not me... and not my feelings for him..." He lowered his arm to his side as he jumped carelessly into the gaping hole.

Edward sighed as he stared up at the sky. Clouds slowly followed with the truck he and Al rode in. They headed in no direction in particular, only away from Munich . There were too many memories for Ed there, and a woman who wouldn't leave him alone.

"Brother... You're thinking about him, aren't you?" Ed gasped and looked up at the boy that watched as the trees quickly passed by. The blond was about to talk when the younger interrupted, "It's alright...I understand that he likes you, and you like him, but General Mustang's broken the gate, and we did too..."

"Not necessarily, Al" Ed sat up and leaned against his younger brother, "Maybe Roy didn't destroy the gate. He is stubborn.."

Al laughed slightly, "He's even more stubborn than you, yes, but I'm sure he doesn't want to go through that again."

"Through what?" Ed stopped leaning on Alphonse in order to look at his smiling face.

"Losing you... Winry told me that he stopped being a state alchemist because you weren't there with him."

A small pink color flushed Ed's cheeks as he looked away from his brother out the other side of the truck. "She did, did she?"

Al nodded, a large smile still planted on his face, "Uhh huh"

"AHHHHH!" Roy yelled as he suddenly fell from the ceiling of a strange building. He fell to the ground with a loud 'THUMP'. He rubbed his sore head, but was amazed that he wasn't very hurt at all, even after the strange dark creatures pulled him into the large black door. He glanced at the ceiling he fell from, but he didn't see the same kind of portal he jumped into, but the whole thing was just a giant hole. "So much for getting back, but He's here, so I'll see him again. But where is here?" Roy stood and hobbled towards any exit he could find. He had to find his love here in this new world. As long as he was with Edward, he didn't care where he was.

After escaping from the building, which he found himself in, Roy wandered the streets of this unusual city. He wandered for a while, passing many strange stores, searching for his beloved. He growled slightly when he finally decided to ask someone if they knew Ed. He stopped by a flower shop and peeked in. He saw a woman inside with pale brown hair messing with some roses, "Excuse me, Ma'am..." He said softly to her.

"Huh?" She turned around and smiled sweetly at Roy. His eye widened in shock and he blinked a few times, trying to make sure it was actually who he thought it was.

"Gracia?" He asked, eying the woman from head to toe. His suspicions were confirmed when she nodded softly.

"Do I know you, sir?" She asked kindly.

He shook his head when he remembered where he was. He was no longer in Amestris, but this unknown world where Edward now stayed. He sighed softly. "I was wondering if you may know someone... His name is Edward Elric. He has long blond hair and two mechanical limbs..."

"Edward?" A deep voice resounded from behind him. Roy swallowed a hard lump in his throat as he slowly turned around to see a man he hadn't seen longer than his love. "How do you know Edward?" the black haired officer quickly stood close to Gracia.

A tear found its way to his dark eye, "Hughes..." He whispered softly. He bit his lip in order to hold back his urge to hug his long lost friend. He cleared his throat to remain his calm and collected self. "He's an old friend of mine.. I was wondering if you knew where he was right now?"

"He's gone..." Gracia spoke sadly, "He left with a boy not too long ago. He claimed that he was his younger brother. He said that he was sorry to leave us, but since Alfonse died, he couldn't stay here any longer." She sighed and smiled back at him.

"Did he specify where he was heading?" Roy responded almost too quickly as he stepped closer to Gracia. She flinched and Officer Hughes grabbed his arm to pull him from his girlfriend.

"No, he didn't... now leave us alone, Sir, and you won't be in any trouble." Hughes replied sternly to his once friend, in another world.

Roy bowed his head slightly and saluted him out of old habit, "Sorry Maes..." He tapped his back and walked away.

Hughes and Gracia exchanged confused glances, "How did he know my name?" Hughes glanced back at the strange man wearing a weird military looking uniform. Gracia only shrugged and went back to mending her flowers.

"At least I know he's here... Or near here... and he and Al came back alive..."
