A new story…again. I wanted to try my hand at another crossover. This time FMP and FMA.

I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Full Metal Panic. Both have actual owners and I'm just a fan writing fanfiction so don't sue.

On with the story now that that's out of the way.

"The mission will officially begin at sixteen hundred hours. Dismissed." Lieutenant Commander Kalinin watched the group as they left. As usual he could see Sagara trailing near the back.

"Do you think the Arbalest will be able to handle this?" Tessa asked also eying the mecha's pilot.

"Considering the track record of the Arbalest, that's a hard outcome to predict Captain." Kalinin answered truthfully. He had serious doubts about the reliance of a machine still in its testing stage. "That's why we've planned heavy back up for Sagara's team."

Tessa dropped the hair she'd been fiddling with and nodded. "Right."

"With your leave Captain." Kalinin said with a salute. He still had paper work to do before the mission. Tessa saluted back before wandering toward her own office.

This new mission was an uncertain one. They'd received word that Amalgam, the organization that detestable Gauron belonged to, was on the move. They were supposedly transporting live nuclear weapons from a port in Northern Russia. There wasn't much more information than that which made it risky to move in, but Mithril couldn't sit back and let something as dangerous as live war heads get into the hands of a group like that.

Kalinin flipped open a report on his desk and began reading. It was Sousuke's last field report. Apparently things were going normally at Jindai High. Well, as normally as they could go with a mercenary tracking one of the students. His mind wandered to Sousuke who would be leading the advance squad in the upcoming raid.

He wasn't sure sending the Arbalest in right now was the best idea. It was proving faulty lately and it was no secret the enemy was interested in both the machine and the pilot.

Kalinin sighed signing the bottom of the report so it could be sent off. There wasn't much he could do to change the minds of those who wanted to see Arbalest in action so he may as well resign himself. He certainly wouldn't live longer by worrying about it.

"What do you mean you won't be here tomorrow?" Kaname screamed from her end of the line. "We have a math test! Do you WANT to fail?"

Sousuke held the phone slightly away from his ear in an attempt to keep himself from going deaf. "I am aware Miss Chidori. I have already informed the school of my leave and will be taking a makeup exam upon my return. I simply wished to inform you that the notes you let me borrow are at my apartment if you wish to retrieve them." He said by way of explanation for what had to be the thirtieth time.

Kaname let out a frustrated grunt. "I get it. You're a soldier, but at this rate you're going to be held back!"

"Hey Sousuke!" Mao interrupted. "We're suiting up! Hurry up with the phone call!"

"Right." He replied curtly. "I apologize Miss Kaname. It seems I've run out of time."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." She said flippantly, but there was an edge of worry there. "Just…don…di…"

The phone cut out momentarily. "I'm sorry. What did you say Miss Chidori?"

"Nothing! Idiot!"

The buzz from the receiver told him that she had, most likely violently, disconnected from the call. He set it down and turned to his teammates. It was nearly time to start his mission.

"Team 2 in position." A voice queued over the radio.

"Team 3 ready."

"Team 1 in position."

"Team 4 ready to snipe!"

"Advance squad ready."

"Good. Remember your orders. No bullets until we get a location on those bombs. We can't afford for those things to blow." Mao's voice came in clearly through Sousuke's radio. "Advance squad, the first move's up to you. Go when you're ready."

"Let's get this party started!" Kurz said a bit too happily earning a scolding from Mao.

"Right." Sousuke said levelly. "Advance squad move out."

He moved the Arbalest forward quickly and as quietly as you can move a two ton robot. They scouted quickly through the outer warehouses finding nothing. Not even soldiers lingered in the hangers.

"Something's not right." One of the soldiers assigned to Sousuke's small squad said. "There's no one here. It's too quite."

"That's bad luck to say." Another quipped.

"No, he's right." Sousuke countered eyes sharp for even the slightest movement. "There should be more soldiers here. Especially if they're planning the shipment tonight like the information said."

"You don't think they moved it ear-"

"DOWN!" Sousuke shouted pushing the nearest of the soldier's M9's down with him just in time to avoid a spray of bullets.

"We've been found out!" one of the others shouted.

"Urzu 7 to Urzu 2," Sousuke said making the Arbalest pull a knife. There was radio static, but no answer from Mao. "Not good. We've lost transmissions to the other groups."

"What do we do?" Another of the group asked.

"Start a retreat. I'll try to take them out with the Arbalest. Remember, no bullets."

Sousuke leaped high in the air bringing the Arbalest down on top of one of the outdated Russian RK92 in front of him. As he pulled the knife free the Arbalest's sensors went off.

"How many enemies are we looking at here?" he asked the mecha.

"Around twenty enemy A.S. signatures have been detected." The A.I. named Al responded sounding nearly cheerful. "Would you like to deploy the lambda driver?"

"Give me locations Al, we'll worry about that later." A map popped up showing the signals. He was completely surrounded. As were his comrades from the advance squad.

"Ah, Kashim." A voice come through his radio that he rather wished hadn't.

"Deploy the lambda driver Al."

"Deploying lambda driver." the robot obeyed.

"It's so nice of you to join us here. You see we were wondering if Mithril would send you."

Sousuke ignored his taunts trying to figure a way out of this for his comrades. They were in the most danger. "Patch me through to the team Al."

"I'm unable to do so."

"Patch me through Al!"

"Now, now Kashim. It would be rude to interrupt me while I'm trying to tell you why you're here." The end of the sentence was punctuated with a hard knock to the side of the mecha that Sousuke hadn't seen coming.

Standing in front of him once he'd returned to an upright position was the red A.S. dubbed Venom.

"That was for not paying attention." Gauron's voice echoed through the cockpit once more. "This will be for that bullet you gave me."

Before Sousuke could figure out what he meant by that all of the Arbalest's sensors went black and suddenly it felt like he'd been hit it in the head to the point of passing out. Before his vision went completely he saw a small flicker on the screen in front of him. Then the world was no more.

Mustang was having a normal enough day. He'd pissed off Edward Elric, gone to lunch, been shot at twice by his lovely secretary Hawkeye, gone on a rant about miniskirts, and gotten between three and five pages of paper work done. He was now casually strolling along to his car where he would be driven out of central to a fancy restaurant to meet with a beautiful lady. Nothing new, just plain, old everyday occurrences. Yes sirree nothing weird here. Well, that is, unless you counted that giant…thing that had landed on the road just a few seconds ago. Yep, completely normal.

So here we go. The first chapter of a new crossover. I hope this one is as much fun to write as the last crossover I did. Not much FMA in this chapter as it was mostly set up for how Sousuke gets to the fmaverse. Next chapter stuff begins and it will be longer and there will be fewer time skips.

I hope you guys enjoyed. The next chapter should be out soon.

'Til next time!
