Chrono Crusade x Fullmetal Alchemist:

A New World's Body Guard.

Chapter 2: The New World.

From Chapter 1:

Ah! I know what to do. Let me see…can you survive in a new world beyond this…?

As soon as Truth said that, he grinned evilly. He started to laugh evilly, too.

Soon, everything got dark.

"Wait! No, Truth! Wait! Come back here. Tell me what's going on! TRUTH!"

Soon, he saw the Gate open. Tiny black hands came out of the everlasting blackness in side and started to grab him. Edward screamed and cried, but nothing happened. He went in the Gate and it close. He was now inside the Gate. Now, he could never see Amestris. Now he could never see home.

Now…he could never see his brother, Al.

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

Darkness…darkness…darkness…

Why darkness…?

Darkness was everywhere. The long black hands were still holding onto him as he fell into the darkness of the gate…Truth's Gate…

Why darkness…?

Soon, the long black hands let go of him. He slowly floated away. Edward tried to at least move…but he was floating. How was he suppose to do that? He tried to swim in the airless air, but it didn't work. If people saw him…he would look like a fool. A total fool.

After the silent humiliation, Edward saw a small light. There was the exit of this darkness of hell. Edward watch as he floated to the small light. Then…

Everything went black!

…

"H-he…"

"Help…"

"Help!!"

…

After what felt like hours, Edward woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He was afraid of what there could have been there. But something was wrong! He felt as if he was laying in mud. And it was raining, too!

His body ached. His right arm and left leg felt as if they were no longer there. He felt wet…with a smell too familiar…

Was it blood…?

A small drop of blood slowly dripped from his forehead, onto his small, soft lips. He could just taste the blood go into his mouth. Then, finally, the small drop of blood turned into a small river, rapidly flowing past his nose and down his chin; dripping onto the sea of mud.

His long, blonde bangs were all muddy, laying on his soft cheeks. He didn't even bother to move them to the side. His arms were just too tired. So tired, in fact, he couldn't even move them.

When he finally had the courage to open his eyes, he felt a sting in his left eye. He quickly closed them. Then…he finally figured it out! He was laying on his stomach and his left cheek was on the ground.

I want to die…

Die…

Die!

DIE!!!

Suddenly, there was a sound of sirens. Edward didn't even now the sound. It wasn't familiar to him.

Then, he heard voices.

"Look! There's someone here!"

"God!! Look at all the blood…. Get a doctor NOW!!!"

"Is he even alive?!"

He heard foot steps come closer and closer. Then felt a soft hand on his neck.

"He's still alive!" he heard a women's voice say. Now he was frightened. He didn't now them but couldn't do anything about it. The same soft hand touched his forehead.

"Oh! He's burning up!!"

He felt comfortable whenever he ever felt that hand touch him. He whispered something in response before he fell into darkness again…

"M-mom…"

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

Sister Kate was happily in her office doing some work. It was a miracle, really. She was usually bothered and had to do some kind of new work to do. Well, not today! But, maybe she's wrong.

Suddenly, there was a nock on the door. Before she could even say, "come in", a young girl ran in. she had short jet, black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a long blue dress that identified her as a nun.

"Sister Kate! Sister Kate!" she yelled over and over. Soon she started yelling random sentences that didn't make that much sense. "H-he's hurt! Help! Help! Mud…a-and…blood!! Help, plea-"

"Calm down, Sister Erica. Just tell me what's wrong," sister Kate demanded.

"There was an 'accident' near here and a citizen said he saw a boy around there," Sister Erica replied. "Most likely, the 'accident' was a monster attack. That boy the person saw was pretty badly hurt!"

Sister Kate sat there, stunned at the news she just heard. "What?! Why didn't someone tell me this sooner?!" Sister Kate looked at Erica in anger. But she wasn't angry at Sister Erica. But Erica was still scared when she saw her "angry face".

"S-Sister Kate, um, F-Father Remington is, uh, about to leave right now. H-he told me to, um, uh, get you," Erica replied in a scared, soft tone. Before sister Erica could continue, Sister Kate out the door. "Sister Kate…? Oh…she left…?"

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

Once Sister Kate arrived she saw several people from the Magdalan Order. She ran to the crowd and pushed her way in. "Excuse me! Move!" she yelled. Once inside, she saw the boy. "Is he even alive?!" she yelled. She bend down touch his neck. She heard a faint heart beat. "He's still alive!" She looked down at his face. He looked so young and desperate. She felt his forehead. "Oh! He's burning up!!"

And, suddenly, she heard a small voice call out to her that made her eyes widden.

"M-mom…"

After she heard this, a doctor arrived at the scene. He started checking over him. He told his assistants to carry him to the ambulance. Before they got ready to leave, Sister Kate ran up to the doctor.

"Doctor! Wait!!" she yelled, running to the doctor.

Once he heard this, the doctor stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Yes?" he quietly asked.

"Doctor, please let me come with you. I want to see if the child would be okay!"

"Hmm, alright, but we have to leave now," he replied.

Sister Kate quickly followed the doctor into the ambulance. There, she saw the boy on a small bed in the back. She sat in a chair next to him. She finally noticed something now. He was wearing all black except for the red coat and white gloves. She quietly felt his cheeks. They were so soft. He was so pale.

Today would be a long day for Sister Kate….

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

When they finally arrived at the hospital, the doctors quickly brought the new patient to a hospital room. After hours of waiting, Sister Kate was called to the room. There, a doctor stood in front of a bed. Turning her head, she saw that the boy was laying peacefully on the bed.

"Well," the doctor began, interrupting her thoughts and making her look at him. "The boy did lose a lot of blood, but he's alright. All he need's right now is to rest and get some sleep. I've put some liquids in his body so he can get the blood he lost back. After he wakes up, we'll have to find his family. In the meantime, he stays here. Any questions?"

Sister Kate stared at him as the doctor looked at the check board, checking things over. She thought things over. "Yes, actually. I do have a question for you," she explained.

"Hmm…? And what's that?"

"May I stay with him?"

The doctor looked shocked for some reason. He just wasn't expecting a question like that. "Well, if you want to…. I guess it's all right…," he answered.

"Thank you!"

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

After hours the boy finally awoke. But Sister Kate was asleep in her chair. She heard shifting from the bed next to her. Soon, she heard soft cries. Was he crying.

Once her eyes fluttered open she saw the boy awake, sitting up on his bed, but he was crying. His hands were rubbing his eyes. He was also wearing one sleeve of his coat. The other sleeve (the left sleeve) of his coat was off and dangling at his side. She hurried to his side. "Shhh. It's okay." she said, trying to comfort him, but it didn't work. She tried rubbing the boys back and that seemed to work. The boy's crying ease quite a bit.

The boy looked up at her. His big, yellow eyes staring at her. Wait…yellow? That wasn't normal. That wasn't normal at all!

This boy has gold eyes? But, that's no normal. Is he a demon?, Sister Kate thought, he can't be. He can't be a demon. He's too little. He's too cute. But what about Chrono?

"Who are you?" he quickly asked, curiously.

This caught Sister Kate off guard for a second. "Huh? Oh, I'm Sister Kate," she said. He just kept staring at her as if he didn't understand.

"Then…where am I?" he asked.

"The hospital."

And he just kept staring at her. "Alright. I get to ask the questions now. First, what is your name?" Sister Kate asked politely.

He looked at her with a confused expression. "My name? I don't…remember…," he explained. "I don't remember anything."

Sister Kate was shocked. He didn't remember anything? "What? You can't remember?" Finally, she stood up and sat back in her chair. She put her hand to her chin in thought. The boy just watched.

After five minutes of silence, the boy smiled and spoke up. "Oh! I remember something!"

She looked up at him. "Well? What do you remember?"

"I remember something called 'Edward'…"

After a full minute of staring at him, Sister Kate burst out of laughter. The boy didn't seem to get it. His smile turned into a frown and he glared at her. He didn't know why she was laughing. He was being serious! Once she calmed herself, Sister Kate saw his serious expression and quietly apologized. He only crossed his arms. He looked up at her and asked, "What was so funny?" in very angry voice.

After he said that, Sister Kate thought she heard him hiss at her. "You see, 'Edward' is a name," she replied.

He blushed at his mistake. "Well, um…ah," He looked down at his shoes and acted as if they were the most interesting thing in the room. "Well…I guess that 'Edward' will be my name from now on," he whispered as he stared swinging his feet.

"Alright 'Edward'…I better get the doctor."

The boy or 'Edward' watched Sister Kate walk out the door. He sat there trying to remember what had happened last. But he can only remember waking up here, in the hospital.

------Fullmetal-Alchemist---Chrono-Crusade------

Edward sat there trying to remember.

…

"Hey, big brother…you should go eat something"

"Don't be such a baby! Okay, try moving it."

"Automail is cool!!"

…

He could just hear voices go into his head. Why couldn't he remember?! It was driving him crazy!!

As he started getting off the hospital bed, he felt an intense pain on his head. He tripped and fell on his head and now it heart even more. He held his head as he got up and headed for the door.

"Ow ow…" Once he got to the door, he peeked outside. He saw Sister Kate and the doctor. He quickly closed the door and ran to the bed. As he reached the bed, he jumped on it and laid his head down with his legs dangling on the side. Suddenly, he remembered his coat. He was quickly taking his right sleeve off until he saw the metal on his arm. At first it didn't bother him, it only looked weird. Carefully, he took the rest of the coat and noticed the metal arm. He panicked!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Is this normal?! This can't be normal!!!

Without a second thought, he screamed.

The door swung open and both Sister Kate and the doctor flew in.

"Edward!!
