Ed lay in his room trying to sleep, but couldn't he was too worried about the fact that his brother may not have made it back to Amestris and was still at the gate. But he heard a knock, outside was a woman in a uniform holding a box, "Is this Edward Elric's room?"

"Yes…"

"Here are your work supplies…" she handed the box to him, said goodbye, and left.

Ed sat the box on the bed and opened it. Inside was a white shirt like the one the twins wore while working and a nametag. Inside was also his school books, he took one out, the Geography one, and began to read through it. Soon he knew pretty much about that class, and it was around time for some sleep, he gladly lay down and fell asleep.

The next morning he got up and got dressed he had managed to by some modern clothes in one of the shops on the ship, so he was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a red long sleeved shirt. He slipped on his shoes and gloves and walked out to head to his first class which was, in fact, Geography.

"Hello class, we have a new student, please introduce yourselves to Edward after class…"

Ed walked to the back of the room and sat in and empty desk. He simply tuned out of what she was saying and finished what was left of the book. He finished just before the assignment was passed out.

"This is a fill in the blanks assignment so it should be easy. Now, would you take out your history books and open it to chapter 11."

The day rolled along slowly, Ed mostly remained in the back of the rooms keeping to himself. the classes were extremely easy for him.

At lunch he went down to the storage room and grabbed a few random things, clapped his hands together, and placed them on the floor where he placed them. What was left was an oil can. "What are you doing in here?"

He looked behind himself and saw Cody "Why are you in here?"

"I needed to grab an extra teacher's book for our Math teacher."

"Well… I needed to get an oil can!"

"How come?"

"I can't talk about it…"

"Why not?"

"I just can't…"

"All right, suit yourself, but… there are no oil cans down here…"

"Uh…"

Cody left the room followed by a confused Edward.

They walked into the lab for science a man with jet black hair stood near the desk. He had on a blue dress shirt with black pants. He had a striking resemblance to Roy Mustang.

"Oh hell no!" The man looked at him, "Hey there Blondie…"

"Would your name happen to be Roy Mustang?"

"Yes, how did you know?" This obviously was this dimension's Mustang.

"Just a feeling…" Soon the other students filed into the room.

"Ok everybody, partner up, we will be rearranging in hopes we have better cooperation."

The groups were Bailey and Cody, Zack and Woody, London and Edward, and etc. "OK, now pick a seat."

Oh great, I got the dumbass as my partner… Ed thought when he saw London filing her nails.

The day continued on and soon it was time for those who were employees to get to work. Ed ran to his room, put on a white long sleeved shirt and his work uniform. He put on a pair of jeans he had bought and still had his gloves on. He put on a pair of sneakers and walked down to the skydeck.

Cody and Zack were already there Zack at the smoothie bar and Cody dealing with towels and such. Ed had to help Zack.

While they were working, a random person came and started snatching the guests' belongings they had with them, "I'll be right back.." Ed said. He clapped his hands together and placed them on the floor. Wood came up and wrapped itself around the crook.

Everyone stared at the now captured man. Ed chuckled. Moseby ran into the room, "I'm sorry everyone, I will make sure this doesn't happen again…"

The man shifted his form… it was Envy. Edward's eyes widened, "Everyone get below deck!!"

"What's happening?" Cody asked.

"I'll explain later, I gotta-"

Envy had become his true form, but half-sized, and the wood broke. He returned to his usual form, but before anyone realized it he had Edward pinned to a wall, "Where is that bastard?!"

"Sorry, I don't know who you're talking about!" Edward smirked.

"WHERE IS HE?!" He brought him to his face. "I GOTTA KILL HIM!"

Ed clapped his hands together and placed his left hand on his right, it became a blade. "Get off this ship…" He slashed across the open stomach.

Envy backed up letting the wound heal. "You're a fool. you know that won't work on me!"

Everyone who hadn't fled yet, Zack, Cody, and Bailey, were staring at the half-brothers. "Are you crazy? Get away from that… freak!" Zack shouted

Envy glared at him, "You wanna die too?"

"No, I like my life!"

Envy smiled, "Humans are such foolish things…" He looked back at Edward, "I'll just kill you again, this time you won't come back!"

"No, I don't think you will kill me…" He ran at Envy again and slashed at him repeatedly. "Now, leave this ship and leave these humans alone!"

Envy cackled. He transformed his arm into the weapon he used to kill Edward the first time around.

Ed clapped his hands together and placed his right on Envy's stomach. A bright light shone and Envy was sprawled out on the floor and Edward's shirt had ripped all the way up to shoulder of his right arm and a little of his chest.

"You're arm! It's-"

"Auto-mail…"

"Huh?"

"You're probably wondering how I got this…"

"Well yeah but-"

"I'll tell you 3 because I think I can trust you… that's been hard for me for a while…" He dragged Envy to the edge of the boat and transmuted it so he was hanging upside down by his foot on the side. "Come on…" He started walking to his room and the others followed.

Each sat on his bed, which was larger than the other students' since it was a normal cabin. "I come from a different… dimension…"

"How is that possible?" Cody asked

"I came here through a gate I call The Truth."

"That still doesn't explain your arm…"

"My left leg is missing too…"

"How?!" Bailey shouted.

"When I was about 10, my mother died. My brother and I had studied an art called Alchemy…"

"Alche-what?" Zack asked.

"Alchemy. It goes by the law of equivalent exchange. You cannot gain anything unless you give something in return. After training under an Alchemy teacher for a month, we attempted the greatest crime of Alchemy… human transmutation…"

"What's transmutation?"

"Here…" He clapped his hands together and placed one on his metallic hand, the blade from before left. "It's the act of equivalent exchange."

"What's so wrong with human transmutation?"

"You'll lose more than you bargain for… I lost my leg… and my brother lost his entire body. I gave up my arm to bind my brother's soul into a piece of armor…" Ed's hands were clenched on his knees, tears started to stream down his face. "We went through so much just to be separated!"

"What was that guy talking about killing you again?"

"Before I came here, my brother had become a philosopher's stone, something that you can use to break the laws of equivalent exchange… so the homunculi, beings created during a failed human transmutation, wanted to use him to become humans… when I came up I ended up getting into a fist fight with Envy, the homunculus we saw, and he killed me. My brother used the stone to transmute me to life… I in turn, transmuted myself to bring him back into the world, and that's when I ended up here."

"Oh, you poor thing!" Bailey said. She hugged him. Right when she let go, a knock was at the door.

Zack answered. The boy at the door greatly resembled Edward, his face a bit younger, and he was taller, but they looked nearly the same otherwise

"Alphonse?!"
