She stood atop of the dirty roof, with a cool, bitter breeze scraping across her face. The wind ran through her dark wavy hair, which was put in a high ponytail with messy bangs spread down her forehead and into her dark brown eyes. Her long sleeved lavender shirt clung to her caramel skin as she pulled her dark gray jacket over her to keep from getting chilly.

She watched from the roof, when the loud, clanking sound was heard. It was a suit of armor, walking aimlessly, as if he was lost. He was mumbling to himself, who oddly had a high pitched voice. Before he could keep walking, she could see three people suddenly in front of him. The armored man held up a piece of paper, before what seemed to be for directions. Before he could get a helpful answer, they ambushed him, with a lady with dark green tattoos kicking off the man's helmet, before jumping inside.

So he's hollow, hm? The girl thought to herself curiously, as she watch the events unfold in front of her.

The armored man was panicking, at this point, scrambling to control his body as the lady inside had already beaten him to it. The lady took control of the body, as the two guys turned around and walked off in the opposite direction they had came from. The girl on the roof watched in amusement, as she got up and followed them. They came to a halt when they reached a small door with a sign that said, "Devil's Nest". They walked through the door clearly ignoring the armored man's protesting.

It was quiet for a little bit, before she heard more yelling. This time was a boy, with bright blonde hair and golden eyes, like the sun.

"Hey Al! Al! Where did you go?! A big guy in a suit of armor you'd think I'd be able to find him easily." He called out, and the girl registered that he was looking for the armored man that had just past. She didn't fail to notice his automail arm. She got curious, and couldn't help but wonder how he lost his arm, and the other guy seemed to lose his body. She watched him as he stood before the sign, and before long, opened the door and stepped inside.

The girl on the roof grinned. They're exactly who I need for my mission. She then stretched her arms and legs, as she floated down to the ground, and hovered over to the door and opened it. It was eerie, a bitter cold blew through her, as she suddenly had a very bad feeling. She ignored it, and walked into the darkness.

"...ther!" She couldn't make out the words being said as she walked down the dark hallway. She couldn't see anything except a light that was shining from the door on the side.

"...you could get kidnapped." Another voice spoke out, this time a bit clearer. She walked silently, nulling the sound of her brown boots squishing on the ground. She was right by the door, and simply stood beside it as she listened.

"Brother! This guy is a homunculus!" A voice that sounded like the armored man, before another voice spoke up, deeper, and much more malicious.

"Hey! Way to ruin it." The deeper voice sounded disappointed, which she presumed came from the homunculus that the armored man was talking about.

"Are you serious?" She heard the voice of the boy with golden hair, his tone calm yet serious.

She took a quiet step, and peeked just barely past the door so she could see everyone, but they couldn't see her.

She saw a man, wearing a fur coat vest, with a tight maroon shirt, defining his abs with dark pants. His hand was in the air, and she saw the tattoo that the golden boy had been talking about. Then she saw the armored man, who was chained up, and she assumed that the lady with the green tattoos was still inside. There was the two guys she had seen outside, one with a katana at his side, and a much bigger guy, bigger than the armor. Then stood the golden boy, whose fist were clenched tightly as he shot glares at the one holding his hand up.

The armored man voice perked up again, with what would be his eyes glowed within the armor. "We might be able to get some leads from him to get our original bodies back!" She grinned, with that said, it confirmed her suspicions, and she was determined to meet these two brothers. As optimistic as the armored brother sounded, the golden brother seemed to stand still, his glares still as fierce to the homunculus as ever.

An ouroboros tattoo." He practically spat in disgust. The homunculus grinned widely, as he almost chuckled.

"My, aren't you observant? I was hoping that I'd only have to deal with the armored giant."

"Why don't you just ask your partners whatever you wanna know?" The golden boy spoke up, as the homunculus took a step closer.

"Partners?" He questioned, as the golden boy responded with a quick, "yeah."

"The rest of the ouroborus gang from the Fifth Lab?" She stiffened at that name, but she didn't know why. Suddenly she was consumed with fear, but quickly swallowed it down before it had any time to burst. "They had a couple of armor bonded souls as well."

So the armored brother's soul is bonded to that armor? How strange.

"You don't say?" The homunculus spoke, sounding clearly unamused with a hint of sarcasm. "Well it's kind of a long story, but we don't talk much anymore." His voice hummed, before grinning even wider. "I've got a proposal for you. You guys are pretty desperate to get your bodies back, right? Because I could teach you to fabricate your own homunculus in no time at all." She could hear the golden boy slightly gasp inward. "And in return, all I ask is that you treat me how to transmute a soul." His grin seemed to be becoming wider, as he kept talking.

"Classic Equivalent Exchange." He chuckled under his breath before turning to the armored brother. "But I really don't understand why you would want your other body back." She could practically hear the golden boy flinch at that last statement. "You've got one that's perfect already!" As if a reflex, the armored brother quickly protested.

"No I don't!"

The homunculus spoke again. "You're joking, right? You don't need to eat, sleep, you don't even need to use the toilet! Sounds great to me." He said as he towered over the armored brother.

It was quiet for only a few seconds, before the golden boy spoke up. "That's enough." He said quietly, venom practically spitting from his mouth. "Shut your damned mouth!" He let out a scream of frustration and anger, before stomping his foot on the ground.

"Sounds great to you?! It seems perfect?! You don't know anything about the hell he's had to go through stuck with that body!" He growled, gritting his teeth. "And you wanna know how to transmute a soul?! You kidnapped my brother and now you want to trade secrets with me?!" A weird burst of angry wind gusted throughout the room, as the golden boy kept yelling in anger. "I'm gonna crush you creeps! I'll smash you! In other words, they're won't be any exchange with you!" A strange heat burst throughout the room, as the golden brother shakily pointed his finger at the homunculus. "Not with you… scuuummmm!"

The room was quiet, trying to understand his outburst before the homunculus started clapping.

"Damn." She whispered with a grin, her voice shaky with laughter.

The man with the katana grabbed the handle, as slowly started to pull it out. "I guess we're doing this by force again." As he took a couple of steps forward towards the golden brother.

"Don't kill him, okay?" The homunculus spoke, as the man with the katana lazily agreed, before quickly take a swing at the golden boy. He easily dodged, spinning in the air. "You're a lot smaller than a prisoner I know!" Before he landed a kick on his face, and the guy went down to the floor. The golden brother clapped his hands together and touched his metal arm, as a faint blue light flashed in the room before he turned it into a weapon.

Was that alchemy? Well, this should be interesting.

"Next." The golden boy challenged, before the homunculus ordered one of his guys to move the armored brother out of the room. The bigger man easily picked up the armor, and was beginning to walk out of the door.

"Drop him!" The golden boy said as he moved swiftly to the bigger man holding his brother, before the homunculus stepped into the way and blocked his attack with his hand, which had turned a dark, steel gray color. The golden boy took his hand and tried to make a swipes at his face, however failing as the homunculus easily blocked it with his arms. The homunculus finally took a swing at the golden boy, only grazing his hair as he clapped his hands together, creating more elevation on the homunculus as he tried to go for his face. The homunculus simply put both of his hands up in front of his face, with a smug grin on his face.

"Nope. Sorry. That little hand sword of yours is pretty neat, but you can't even scratch my Ultimate Shield!" He said as he made a move towards the golden boy, but he was quick, before placing his hand on the ground and causing the ground to rise before him, and he punch the rocks, causing them to shortly blind the homunculus, as he cover his face from the rubble. The golden boy quickly made a move and jumped into the air, wrapping his legs around the homunculus's neck and slamming him to the ground, causing blood to spray up.

Wow, he's good at fighting too! I think it's about time I introduce myself.

"Guard your head next time!" The golden boy said smugly, before jumping up quickly as the homunculus took a swing at him, causing more blood to spray onto the floor.

"Ugh, that hurt! That move would have hospitalized most people." The homunculus said boredly as he sat up and stretched his neck. She was still hiding on the side of the door, before she decided to move in. She clapped slowly, very impressed by the golden boy's way of fighting. His reflexes kicked in quickly, before turning his body toward the girl and raising a cautious hand.

"You fight pretty good for how young you look! You're probably about my age, right?"

The golden boy looked innocently confused, and lost. "Where did you come from?" She couldn't help but smile very big.

"I'm not sure, but that's why you're going to help me!"

"Hm? Help you with what?" The golden boy's expression changed from confused to a bit angry and annoyance.

"I lost something of mine, and I need to get it back." She said before slowly walking towards the homunculus, and standing before him.

"Hey! Get away from him! He's dangerous!" The golden boy yelled out in concern. The girl simply sat in front of the homunculus, and grabbed his hand.

"Heeey! What are you doing?! Are you nuts?!" The golden boy was steaming, completely baffled at what this girl was doing.

"Calm down. I just wanna look at the tattoo." She held up his hand to her eyes, before scanning it. It looked familiar, but she couldn't place it. The homunculus simply stared boredly at the girl, before she looked up at him with intense eyes that made the homunculus flinch just slightly.

"Hey. What's your name?" She questioned the homunculus, who was staring into her intense eyes for only a moment before grinning widely.

"The name's Greed, kid. I'm a homunculus." He smirked at his own introduction as the girl sighed boredly and closing her eyes."

"I know you're a homunculus, geez." Greed sweatdropped. "So does that mean you're one of the Seven Deadly Sins?"

"You got that right. I want money and power and women, and sex, status and glory." He smirked again, his steel blue eyes piercing her dark ones. She looked deeply in his eyes, and couldn't help but notice that they seemed to be unhinged, as if uncertain. She nodded slowly, and let go of his hand, before standing up and dusting off her clothes. The golden boy was sweating, with a deadpanned look over his face at the conversation the girl and Greed just had.

"What about you, kid? Who're you?" She smiled as she looked down at Greed.

"I'm Emmi! And you!" She said fiercely as she pointed toward the golden boy, who flinched and swallowed a gulp of spit.

"What's your name?!" She yelled, even though they were only a couple of feet away from each other.

"U-uh… I'm Edward Elric."

"Edward Elric, huh? And your brother! What's his name?!" Edward flinched again.

"I-it's Alphonse Elric. And can you quit shouting?! What the hell are you even doing here?! Don't you realize how dangerous he is?!" He bellowed back, but comically fell to the ground as he realized that she wasn't listening to him.

"Edward and Alphonse. I like those names!" She smiled brightly before turning to Ed.

"I have a deal for you, Edward Elric!" Her eyes were intense, as her smile grew bigger.

"Huh? Another deal?" She walked closer to him, and instinctively he took a step back.

"I'll help you get your bodies back, if you help me find what I've lost!" Ed's eyes grew a fraction larger upon her request, before turning serious.

"How do you know about that?" His voice low, and he gripped his fist tightly.

"Well, I can see you have a automail arm, and during the fighting, I can hear that you have an automail leg from the sounds it gives off. And your brother's soul is bonded to a suit of armor. It's pretty clear you both performed human transmutation." His eyes filled with anger, as he gritted his teeth as his breathing went heavy. Emmi could see him glaring at her fiercely, like he was ready to punch her.

"But, I'm not going to hold you down about it. What's in the past is in the past. What matters now is that I want to help you two, if you promise to help me in return."

"Why should we? We don't even know anything about you." Ed spat, his voice clearly laced in venom. Emmi took a deep breath before talking.

"I lost my memories. I can't remember a thing about my family, my friends, or my old life. All I remember is waking up in a dark place, and struggling to find the light. But I keep seeing this flashes, of something red, and then something gold." She saw Ed's gaze soften.

"I don't know how, but I think my lost memories are also the key for you getting your bodies back. So let's make a deal. I'll help you get your bodies back, and in return you help me find my memories." She smiled, her eyes still fierce with determination, and upon looking in her eyes, Edward's eyes widened in surprise, as Emmi held her hand out.

"Do we have a deal, Edward Elric?"

Thank you so much for reading! This is my first fanfiction on here, so I really hope you enjoy it!

This story is about a girl who lost her memories, and goes on a quest with Edward and Alphonse to find her memories, as well as helping them get their bodies back. I'm still trying to figure out who I should have Emmi have a romantic relationship with... I'm leaning towards Greed, but I might also want to do Ling... Idk it's tough lol. I don't want Emmi and Ed to be romantically involved, because their relationship will grow, but not in that way. (I ship EdWin too much lol) I am also going to make hints at Royai during this story (because I will forever be heartbroken and angry that Roy and Riza did not get married at the end of the show like wtf is that really). Anyway, thank you so much for reading and please tell me what you think about it and favorite.
