Seeing double
While he was living on the other side of the gate, Edward realized that everyone from his world had a double on the side of the gate he was on. This revelation wasn't shared with Alphonse so he was kind of left in the dark. (Poor Alphonse!!) Anyway, now that you know the background information, onwith the story!!
It was a dark and dreary day in Resembool. Alphonse was still thinking about his older brother, Edward. Since he regained his body, he had lost the last four years of his memory. But, he still knew he had a brother and he always wore the red cloak in remembrance of his lost kin. He was going to find the brother he knew he had if it was the last thing he did. It was his goal! But, he still had no idea where his brother was. He had to find out sometime, it was improbable for him to never turn up. I mean, this is Ed we're talking about. He really isn't good at staying hidden for long.
One day, when Al was helping the military destroy the armored men coming from the other side of the gate he realized he knew where Ed was. He had transferred a portion of his soul into the suits of armor. Then, when they were sent back, the suit containing Al's soul (which coincidentally looked exactly like his suit of armor that he was in until he regained his body.) found Ed and talked to him. Al then tried to open the gateway to get to the other side. Seeing as this was a difficult task, Ed was quite surprised when Al made his way through the gate into Amestris. Shortly after arriving in Amestris, Al realized that there was an exact double of everyone from his side of the gate in Amestris. There was Maes, Gracia, Roy, and even himself; this kind of creeped him out. He was very angry at Ed for not explaining this to him. Even when he asked, Ed wouldn't explain it. Al soon started to think Edward didn't know as much as he thought. This really enraged him. The fact that the brother he had lost four years worth of memory about couldn't explain anything to him was upsetting, to say the least. The only person he could really relate to was Noah, the gypsy girl who could see people's thoughts almost. She kind of knew what was going on because she read Ed's thoughts while he slept. All she could provide for him was a rough explanation of the whole ordeal. All she knew was that every person in Amestris provides alchemic material for the person from Al's original world. This helped Al out a great deal. He didn't know why but, he had the idea that the "doubles" were "evil". And I don't mean "evil" like you're just a mean/bad person. I mean "evil" like Fuehrer King Bradley evil. He had the strongest feeling these people were evil. So, he decided in order to figure out whether they were good or evil he would watch them. He decided to pick a random person because someone like Gracia wouldn't be evil. He saw a man from the back while he was waiting to decide who he would watch. He jumped into an alleyway. So, as he stood in the alleyway and as the man turned the corner, Al saw the face and knew who he was watching.
Hahaha I'm so evil, aren't I? Well, in order to find out whom Al was watching you have to give me reviews. But, just so its equivalent exchange, you will get a cookie/hug/hot cocoa/ or one of the 20 cup ramen left in my inventory!!
