Chapter 1: The FullMetal Alchemist

"And so the story of "The Alchemist of the People" was told from a few mining regions to every corner of the cont-" He paused listening to Alphonse cough. "-inent. The End." The Monkey Team, minus Gibson who scoffed as he always did when Chiro told stories like this, Antauri listened thoughtfully while Otto, Sprx and Nova listened with great interest.

These stories of Chiro's are too intricate to be mere fairytales. Antauri thought Transmutation? Alchemy? Human Transmutation? The Gate of Truth? There has to be something more to them. But what is it?

"You okay Alphonse?" Chiro asked from the driver's seat.

"I'm fine." The blonde said. "You know you should become a novelist with the stories you tell. I mean, your adventures with these guys would be enough," He gestured to the Monkey Team, " but those Alchemy stories of yours just take the cake."

"You saying you don't believe me?" Chiro asked turning back to his engineer friend.

"Uh, Chiro, maybe you should watch the road." Otto suggested nervously as the green monkey held onto the car nervously.

"Chiro please." The blue robot monkey known as Gibson said in the front seat with Antauri in an irritated tone. "Not this again. Newton's Laws ousted Alchemy as a false science ushering the modern age. That's a historical fact."

"Chiro." Nova said this time. "Watch the road!"

"I mean, come on. A place where Alchemy evolved to the point where it was more important than the Steam Engine?" Alphonse asked. "Newton's Laws ousted Alchemy as a false science ushering in the modern age. That's a historical fact."

Gibson scoffed again. It was times like these he wished other humans besides their leader could understand them.

"Yeah in this world you mean." Chiro started." But I'm telling you-"

And it was comments like that that made Antauri think there was more to these "Stories." Than meets the eye.

"CHIRO!" The Monkey Team all screamed as the car crashed into a tree.

"Chiro." Gibson said angrily. He always did this. He started talking to someone and crashed. This was the third car! Sure, it was one of the less expensive models that couldn't fly, but still! Otto lay on his back with dizzy eyes and Sprx was hurled over the driver's seat. Meanwhile Nova laid back breathing hard

Antauri sighed as Chiro apologized over and over. After making sure everyone was alright, the two humans and five robot monkeys stood by the side of the road. By this time everyone in the world knew about the Monkey Team and Chiro so they where able to travel outside the Super Robot. Despite being a very advanced society in many ways, Shugazoom, and the countries surrounding it where still in the baby stages on space flight. To get away from the bullies and people who thought badly of Chiro despite everything he'd done for them, he and the Monkey Team moved to Germany. Why Germany? Because, though Chiro would never tell his team this, it reminded him of Amestris. He actually found a double of his little brother Al! Alphonse Heiderich was the Alphonse Elric of this world. Chiro's double had died when a Zeplin fell on him during the first World War. Antauri, Alphonse and the Monkey team and any others Chiro told stories to merely thought he was making them up.

They saw a truck driving close by. Chiro stood out a little and started waving. "HEY!" He waved his arms. "HEY STOP!" Alphonse coughed again. "Are you sure your okay Alphonse?" He asked his friend.

"Its just a little cold Chiro." Alphonse waved it off.

Gibson looked up at the only human he respected other than their leader. His passion for science and rocketry had amazed him greatly. There was something about his coughing that made him think this wasn't "Just a little cold."

The truck stopped. There where many tanned people in the back. Gypsies. Antauri thought. Probably on the way to the carnival too.

"Think you can seat two humans and five monkeys?" Chiro asked the driver.

"Going to the carnival?" The driver asked.

"That's right."

"Then hop in. If you don't mind sitting with Gypsies we're on our way to the carnival to." The bearded man said motioning to the bed of the truck.

It was a tight fit, but they all managed to fit. "So what kind of show are you ladies setting up?" Chiro asked with a slight blush on his face. They where rather pretty.

"You name it." A long haired Gypsy said leaning over to the Monkey's leader making him blush harder. "Singing, dancing, theater."

Antauri mentally chuckled. Despite having saved the world countless times their leader was still just a typical human teenager.

"What's your act?" Alphonse asked a girl with her hood pulled up so it covered her face slightly.

"She's a fortune teller." The apparent leader told them. "And she always gets it right. So much so its eerie"

Another gypsy girl with some kind of marking on her forehead interrupted. "She'll find out all those secrets you don't want anyone to know." .

Again Gibson scoffed. These mystics only use tricks to fool the gullible.

"So can you tell me mine?" Alphonse asked the girl.

"Cut it out, do you know how unscientific that is?" Chiro teased his friend. Then he perked up as the fortune teller grabbed his shoulder. She then gasped and pulled back.

"Your the same as we are." The girl said. Chiro looked to her much to the confusion of his team. "You have no home." He had a shocked looked on his face.

"What do you-" Chiro asked in a stunned tone before he was interrupted.

"There it is!" Another gypsy said. "The carnival!" Everyone suddenly forgot about the proclamation of the fortune teller and looked to see a ferris wheel and carnival rides. The driver honked the horn of the car eagerly.

Suddenly the leader started singing making everyone pay attention with her voice. "Me djinaua jeg rat gai wam." If there was one thing Antauri loved about the world. It was its many languages and cultures. "Me djinaua jeg rat gai wam." The girl with the forehead mark joined in.

"Beautiful." Nova said in awe and Sprx agreed with a blush.

A guitarist male started playing and the rest joined in the singing. "Me djinau jeg rat gai kelam

La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la la. Me djinau jeg rat gai kelam

La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la la." Otto even started clapping along."Shawo djine du diri bacht an goi rat miri bacht an goi rat." Antauri looked to Chiro who was eyeing the fortune teller warily and nervously. What was he hiding from them?

To Be Continued...

This idea came to me after watching FMA: The Conqurer of Shambala over the weekend and reading several Super Robot Monkey Team fanfics. I also have CoS on my ipod! I love ripping software! I have my lion king special edition, Rio, and FMA: Cos! So this will be pretty much semi canon except for the change of scenery and planet. Btw, about the monkey team world.

Shugazoom is an isolated continent much like Japan. The team moved away from it after the Skeleton King was defeated and the citizens wanted to put the team in a zoo and Chiro locked away. Chiro is Chiro Elric. Ed's replacement. He was de-aged after going through the gate to bring Al back to life. He woke in Shugazoom and had no idea where Hoenheim was. But he was sent several mechanical limbs made by his father. Gibson recreated these limbs with ease and when they are destroyed by battle or otherwise they can easily be replaced. I hope to do a good job on this one!
