The Lost Chains of Time
The recent struggle for Sophitia had become clear that she will never get back her life and family because of Soul Edge and Nightmare, until fate brings her to the Gate that landed her in another world. New friends and new adventures await her, but could it also give her a second chance in life?
A/N: And btw it was hard for me to bring up Soul Calibur again after the series died with SCV for me. I had to seal the series away from me recently.:( But I endured on writing this fic anyway.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Calibur. Sheesh!
Chapter 1: The Gateway of Regret
It was evening hitting the rest of Central as everyone in the city turned in for the night, except some of the police and military on watch ensuring civilian safety. Though at the same time, Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse were stucked out in the main library pulling all-nighters searching for the Philosopher's Stone, which would naturally regain their lost bodies.
Ed laid in his chair looking over the contents of a recent research book he pulled out. The moon began to show light reflecting the windows near him. But then it would be fatigue that got him over.
"Yawns, oh man this is getting tiresome. Spending the whole time looking for the stone and no answers." Ed slumped his head in.
Al looked over his brother with a cheered voice. "It's all about dedication to your goals, isn't it Ed?"
The blonde slumped even further near the table. "Yeah Al. Something like that." Ed yawned more and closed the book. He then got up to stretch
His armored brother chuckled more. Suddenly a jolt hit Ed's nerve. He collapsed a bit but held his composure on the floor.
Al went over to aid his brother to see if he's alright. "Brother, what's wrong? What is it?" He shooked Ed's shoulder, but he was in a state of disbelief.
"Brother...brother…what's wrong…brother…" Al's voice fainted as Ed was lost through the whim of another reality.
Ed was so much in disbelief with this shock, he couldn't even hear Al's pleas towards him. Somehow he was consumed with these visions.
His eye's widened as he began to see images from the other side. The other side of the gate…memories then flowed to his mind…
Sadness
Pain
Betrayal
Regret
Death
It was these visions that were in motion through one woman's transgressions for her beloved child.
"She's beautiful…but sad…somehow she reminds me of…of…" Ed is in a loss of words as his mind flowed through the memories of the mysterious woman. He finally reached the main entrance of the abyss, "The Gate."
"WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THIS TO ME? ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!" Ed roared as he now stopped at the entrance.
The gate's doors smiled. "You'll see…heheheh."

At the outskirts of Ostrhreinsburg castle, the citadel of death were a mere field of slaughtered bodies littering the countryside. The sun was setting into a darkness of oblivion were evil would now reside. Nightmare being the worst bursting it.
"Mwuhahahahaha! Souls! More souls!" He roared. As thousands of essences that were now etching in Soul Edge's blade gaining more of it's satiable hunger.
In one of the castle's cells, Pyrrha watched helplessly of her mother's regret of slaughtering thousands of innocents.
"Mommy, please stop it. Stop hurting people…" The child pleaded, as she engulfed in tears.
Sophitia had been in stained form, but even she didn't know how long it has been. Her blue eyes shocked and still widened as the many corpses laid before her. And her white garments lay stained of which her wrongdoings would never cease.
She dropped both her Omega sword and Elk shield which were now both stained with blood. Sophitia then kneeled down in shock.
"Why does this happen to me and my Pyrrha? Gods why?" She said in tears as all the corpses was spreaded in the fields
And at the same time, one of the monsters that was beside her from the side of the fields leered in joy of the horrendous view.
Tira, the ever so trusted confidant of Nightmare and wielder of Soul Edge, smiled more at the carnage as she laid beside her ring blade for comfort.
"Oh boy! Master's gonna be pleased! More and more souls! All because I hold your brat hostage!" The demon then danced more around Sophitia in joy.
The woman in white gasp and held both her hands covering her mouth. Tears were expressing more in each moment of her horrible deeds.
"This is horrible…I did all of this for Pyrrha…please forgive me…" She cried even more.
Unknowingly, Tira walked towards Sophitia from behind and readied her ring blade, in which she wouldn't know of the betrayal that was about to happen.

At the gate, Ed then saw a vision of the same woman that he saw in his own racing his own mind. His eyes widened further on the woman in white as something tragic was happening next…
"Slinkt!"
"Oh no…" Ed gasped in horror of what was done…
