Fullmetal Alchemist:

New Beginnings

Authors Note

If you haven't read the Fullmetal alchemist manga all the way through don't read this. If you have, good for you, re-read chapters 107-108. OK. With that out of the way I do not own FMA all rights belong to Arakawa Hiroaki. Thank you for reading my Fan Fic. The recap is just what happened in chapter 108. But you have to read it.

Recap

But no one told us to give up! It's OK. I can do it! Ed thought

"May. Stand back." Then he started to draw something on the ground. "That's… A HUMAN TRANSMUTATHON CIRCAL!" Ling yelled

"I'll be back soon." Ed said everyone stared at him surprised at what he was doing "This is my last act of alchemy as the Full Metal Alchemist!" he shouted then clapped his hands together and disappeared to the gate of truth.

"Have you come for your brother?" asked the Truth "But how will you pull a whole person out? What is the payment? Will you offer up your own body?" Ed walked past the Truth and looked at the gate and said "Here is the payment. This huge thing." The Truth answered "The gate of Truth exists within everyone. That is how everyone can use alchemy… will you degrade yourself to an ordinary person unable to use alchemy?" Ed responded "There is nothing degrading about it. I have always been an ordinary person, a small person unable to save a small girl, who'd been turned into a chimera. Since seeing the Truth or whatever, I have relied too much on it, made too many mistakes… I have been its puppet."

"Will you be all right with out it?" the Truth asked "Even without alchemy I've still have my friends." Ed responded. The Truth smiled kindly for once and said "That is the correct answer alchemist. You have beaten the Truth. Take, It All." Ed clapped for the last time and put his hands on the gate and destroyed it all for Al. "The back door is over there." Ed looked to where the Truth was pointing and saw Al and another gate. Al smiled, and Ed smiled back and said "I can't believe you were so rash idiot!" while running towards him. "I've come for you Al."

"Yeah."

"Let's go home." Ed said "Every ones waiting." Then they walked out the back door.

Now all alone once again the Truth wondered out loud "I wonder how long it will take him to understand the back door concept."

Roy Mustang was sitting all alone when someone approached him. He couldn't tell who since the Truth took his sight.

"Oh. Colonel Mustang?"

"Dr. Knox?"

"This sure is a mess. Are you wounded too?"

"I can't see a thing."

"What!"

"This is punishment for those who dream… or so I'm told." He sighed "I wish I could do as Fullmetal and use my gate as toll, but there wouldn't be a way back. My eyes were taken. There's nothing I can do about it. I'll to think about what I can do now that I can't see." There was a short silence "…Someone interesting found me while I was out and followed me back here. Hey get in here !"

"Dr. Marcoh!" Roy yelled surprised

"I over heard you talking. I have a Philosopher's Stone here. Can you use this as the toll to regain your sight?"

"Doctor!" Roy yelled

"But! I will give you this on one condition! We could not have won this war without the cooperation of the Ishvalans. Colonel Mustang, I want you to revise the policies on Ishval. And lift the barricade on Ishval. And them return to there holy land. And …I want you to let me live there as a doctor!"

'Don't look away from each new death look straight ahead and never forget!' Roy remembered something Kimbly had said once a long time ago. "I see you were in Ishval too… I promise I will devote my full power to revising the policies on Ishval. Roy agreed "Major! Will you deliver a message for me? 'I'm going to be busy again. Follow me!' tell all of my subordinates." He said then opened the gate with stone in hand to get his sight back.
