Alrighty then! I'm going to try this again: This is my newest FMA story! I hope you all enjoy it! Please review to it, because if I start getting more reviews from I'll be severely dissapointed... ; Anyways, if you couldn't telll, this is a crossover with the two ideas of FMA and FF2. It doesn't have the same charactrers as FF2, but it follows a story line that is similar...not exactly, but you know what I mean!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist of Fatel Frame 2, just the storyline I've added and the story itself... ; Alrighty then...
REVIEW DAMNIT!
Edward and Alphonse Elric sat in the grass, far into the meadows of Resembool, looking to the sky. The moon gleamed in the late night sky, filling the field with an unreal blue glow. Ed sighed, looking at the stars.
"What is it, Brother?" Al questioned, looking at his brother. "Huh? Oh, nothing, just thinking…"
"What?"
"Well, I was looking into the forest. How many rumors do you think we've heard about that place? I know Mom was always afraid of it."
Alphonse followed the gaze of the elder brother, recalling how many things they'd heard about spirits and such penetrating from the deepest realms of Hell from within.
"I doubt any of them are true. What makes you think about that?" Al looked at Ed expectantly, awaiting the inevitable fate of his words.
"Uhhh… nothing. Just, this isn't really a vacation…"
Al groaned and threw his metal arms into the air. "I knew it was too good to be true! You've always got some mission or another! Why does it lead to Resembool though?" Al sighed, shaking his head. They never really did get a real break from the military business. But, what really worried Alphonse wasn't the mission, but why it would lead to such a quiet, tranquil place like Resembool?
Edward turned to the suit of armor, somewhat shrinking under his gaze. Guiltily, he answered, "Well, apparently, this mission has actually been open for a decade or so, but no one had the guts to take it on. In truth, this was supposed to be a break from that stupid Colonel, but it turned into this when Mustang came across this mission. And you know I can't let anything dangerous go uninvestigated in my hometown… not with all the people we know so close to the problem… I wouldn't have accepted the mission had it been anywhere else…" Ed finished with a sigh. "Sorry if I ruined it."
"No, Brother, I know what you mean. I would have done the same thing…"
There was a long pause, leaving silence hanging uncomfortably in the air, only to be ripped through by a long croak of a frog nearest the two boys. Ed jumped, startled by the sudden noise. Al laughed. Still chuckling slightly, the younger brother interrogated, "Okay, if there's a mission, you could at least explain what the rumor is about that you're investigating!"
Edward turned to Al, smiled, and began to explain. "Alright. The theory is that a village disappeared one night during this weird sacrificing ritual. Supposedly, this service was performed one or two times a year, stopping the gates of Hell from opening into the small town. But to do this, they have to kill off twins each year… that or closely related siblings. Well, one year, one of the twin sisters they were using escaped, and the other is said to have wiped out the entire town in that one night, realizing that her sister wasn't coming back to save her. Plus, since the ritual wasn't fulfilled, Hell has stopped the souls from going on to the afterlife, and the laugh is still heard throughout the village."
A chill ran down Al's imaginary spine. "What worse, it's said that every night, the ritual is repeated, but only succeeds if two travelers come through it. Unfortunately, we fit the criteria, so we need to be extra careful." Al looked at Ed wearily, thinking he'd gone crazy. "You really think we should go in there? I mean, if it's true…"
Ed burst out laughing. "What, are you scared? You're a suit of armor! How many times must I tell you you're safe! We need to start as soon as possible and since night just fell, now is the most opportune time. Let's head out!"
The blonde boy hopped up, strolling merrily toward the forest. Al was shocked. "Wa-wait a minute! We can't just trot in there and expect a warm welcome!"
Ed smiled. "I know! But we need to try!" He turned, his expression growing grim. "I hope we don't get a welcome at all…"
Okay! Review and tell me what you think! I've already got chapter 2 ready so get prepared for it! This is my first shot at a horror story... so yeah... It's not going to be great. Love much!
