A/N: WELL! I used this plot in a rp I was doing and me and a couple others got into it and I asked them if it was okay if I used some of it for my story line here and they said yes, so this story is going to take a bit of a different twist... like, REALLY different from the first chapter... yeah. OH! And to FruitsBasketFreak44, I have absolutely no idea... XD

Disclaimer: I would like to thank chaosanime14 and kokiriwarrior for rping with me on neopets and letting me use your ideas for the upcoming chapters! Thank you both very much. And I don't own FMA either...

"I'LL KILL YOU!" As Roy lunged for Lust, who simply smirked and leapt out of the way.

"Don't waste your energy, boy!" She laughed and snapped for Gluttony to go back to where he had been and put Riza where she had been. Gluttony obeyed, and fled into the ground. "Sorry, Colonial, but you're not worth my time..." She laughed and leapt behind Gluttony.

"What?" Roy ran to the spot where she had just come from. Nothing. He felt the ground, but there was nothing. "Dammit!" He pounded the ground with his fist and took a deep breath. Getting back up to his feet, he exhaled and looked up to the sky. "I'll find you, Riza..."

"COLONIAL?" A young boys voice called from the halls. It was Ed's. He seemed to be the first one to arrive at HQ this morning. He yawned and looked at his watch: 4:15am. "Damn... I thought Colonial Mustang said he'd be here... and if I'm recalling right, Lieutenant Hawkeye was here last night..er... morning too." He suddenly got a sinister smirk. "The lovebirds probably got it on last night and fell asleep on top of each other!" He burst out laughing. Ed loved to tease them about being together. "Well, well. Roy's office!" He smiled and put his hand on the doorknob. He pulled back his hand, surprisedly. "It's unlocked... That means he was here... but it doesn't look like anyone's in there..." He pondered aloud. Cautiously, he kicked the door open and gazed in upon Roy's office in amazement. "Damn... what happened here!" He went in.

There was glass everywhere, things shattered and ripped. He noticed the lights weren't working. "Hmm... must've been a fight here last night..." He thought. Picking up a photo, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. "Hn?" Glancing to his left, he noticed a spiral vortex. "What the-..?" he dropped the photo and cautiously grabbed a gun off Roy's desk: Riza's gun.

Pointing it at the vortex, he slowly edged towards it step by step. Not allowing anything else to catch his attention, he noticed it was harmless. "Wha-?" He placed the gun in his left pocket and pointed his index finger out towards the portal. Inching it slowly closer, he gulped out of anticipation. Closing his eyes, Ed touched the portal.

The terrifying sensation of falling miles and miles into endless nothingness immersed the boys body. He screamed as he fell. And suddenly, it was over.

"Oof!" Ed landed on solid ground with a thump. "Ow... Gawd," Ed sat up and rubbed his head. Opening his eyes, a chill was sent throughout every nerve in his body. "What...? Wher- HOLY SHIT!" He leapt to his feet and drew the gun from his pocket. Spinning around, he pointed the gun in every direction.

"Uh..." Ed stood confusedly in what looked like a cemetery. "Did I just fly somewhere...?" Putting the gun away and relaxing, he tried to observe his surroundings in full view. He noticed right away that it sure wasn't anywhere near four in the morning... in fact, it seemed to not even be past one am! He looked at his watch. It still read 4:15am. There had been no change. What was even stranger, was that the seconds had frozen and weren't moving. Ed blinked. "Broken...?" He hoped.

Sighing to ease himself, he looked at his surroundings once more: tombstones, dead willow trees, a full moon, cloudy skies, and... a lake? "A lake...?" Ed walked slowly over to what looked like water. As he got slightly closer, he stopped. It was way to foggy now. He backed up cautiously. "Okay, Ed. Don't panic... you're probably not alone... although that could be a bad thing in this situation..." He gulped once more.

Suddenly, a scream was heard throughout the cemetery. Ed's eyes widened and his breathing slowed down to about one breath per minute. Sweating out of fear, Ed slowly (VERY! slowly... like, slow motion, slowly) turned on the spot. His hands were shaking and it was awfully hard to keep hold of the gun. Looking to where the scream came from, he relaxed immediately and breathed a HUGE sigh of relief. In fact, in spite of himself, he laughed quietly. He should've known that scream anywhere: Colonial Roy Mustang!

Ed walked slowly behind a dead willow tree and leaned on it, watching the colonial intently with great enjoyment.

"Okay, Roy! Pull yourself together..." Colonial Mustang swallowed hard and snapped his fingers, igniting them with flame. "No one messes with the fuhrer!" Roy whispered forcefully. He now had convinced himself he was fuhrer. His breathing was scarce, his eyes were huge, his mouth was dry, and he was shaking uncontrollably from fright.

Ed couldn't control himself now. Laughing was too hard to hold in. Snickering to himself, he managed to try to scare the colonial. "Boo," Ed said casually, a smirk on his face.

Roy's eyes grew wider than ever and he jumped over 10 feet in the air, screaming a high pitched girly shriek. Ed laughed hysterically. Roy landed, panting at the speed of sound, and spun around to face Ed.

"YOU!" He screamed, now getting very angry.

"Yeah, me!" Ed laughed again. Roy growled and took Ed by the collar of his jacket.

"Don't EVER do that to me again!" He screamed at the young alchemist. Ed brushed Roy's hands away from him.

"Do what? Scare you again?" He snickered. Roy got that 'get away from me, I hate you' sort of look on his face.

"Oh, please! A pipsqueakishly short simple minded alchemist scare the soon-to-be fuhrer of the military? I doubt it!" Roy boasted. You could see Ed's anger come to a boil. Roy had just said the word Ed hated most in the entire dictionary.

"Don't... say... PIPSQUEAK!" Ed shouted angrily and jumped on top of Roy, biting his arm furiously. The colonial jumped back and hit Ed over the head repetitively, trying to get him to release, though he soon found that rendered completely useless. Ed held tight and Roy eventually got over the bleeding and stood up, the boy still painfully attached to his arm.

"Got off of me," Roy stated plainly, glaring at the state alchemist.

"Ro! (no)" Ed said, his mouth still around the colonial's arm. "Rot unril roo rake rit bwack! (not until you take it back)" He growled. Roy sighed annoyedly and shook the boy from him. Ed stood up beside the flame alchemist.

"So, what now...?" Roy looked around, then suddenly realized something. "Hey! Just how did you get here?" He asked, pointing an accusing finger at Ed.

"Uh... I went through that portal thing..." Ed blinked questioningly. "Didn't you?"

"Well... yeah. But, I mean... it's still there?" Roy lowered his hand back to his side.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't ...it ...be...?" Ed's words slowed as reality snapped to him. "OH MI GAWD! WHERE'S THE FRIGGIN PORTAL?" He screamed, looking everywhere for the device to take them home. Roy rolled his eyes and snagged Ed by the collar before he went ballistic.

"That's exactly what I mean! There's no way back... well, not that I know of, anyway..." The colonial let the younger alchemist go and sighed. "Besides... we can't leave until we find Riz-er! I mean! Lieutenant Hawkeye!" He cleared his throat, hoping Ed didn't realize he just practically used her real name. Ed smirked.

"You dog... and I don't mean of the military!" He smirked that evil boy smirk he usually did. Roy flushed bright red and glared at him.

"You just wait until you're 29! Then you'll be after the babes too!" Roy yelled, turning away from Ed, who sighed and apologized.

"Look. If we're gonna be stuck out here like this, then... I guess we'll have to form some sort of treaty. Oh! Here're my standards: 1. Don't call me pipsqueak. 2. Don't denote me in any form of shortness. 3-" He was cut off.

"My rules are 1. you follow my orders! 2. Follow rule number one, or be punished!" Roy angrily grabbed the child by the collar and trudged towards the lake Ed had been walking towards earlier. Roy stopped. "A lake...?"

"A lake," Ed stated lazily. "I was gonna go take a look at it earlier, but it got really foggy when I tried to get near it. It wasn't a normal haze-like fog either. There was something different about it..." He pondered aloud while Roy listened.

"Interesting. Let's go!" Roy smiled, let go of Ed, and walked towards the lakes bank.

"Uh... sir...? I don't like this... like, at all!" Ed whined. "Let's go back?"

"No!" Roy said. "Shh! I think I hear something..."

They were at the edge of the bank and there was quite a fog around them. It was so thick, they couldn't even see their own selves. It was creepy, not knowing where to step or which direction to go. If it wasn't for the sound of water, they wouldn't have even been able to tell if they were still by the lake's edge.

"Ed...?" Roy questioned, but he got no response. "ED?" Spinning around just in time, he realized they weren't on the bank anymore, nor were they even on solid ground. "Dammit!" Roy jumped to his left, trying not to be caught up in the swampy mud that had just engulfed Ed. The Colonial's left foot was stuck in the muck. "Shit..." Roy struggled with all his might to break free, but was caught.

Soon enough, more than half his body was caught in the void of mud. Panting, he was out of breath and energy. Trying to look around him, he could see nothing but the dreaded fog. He was tired enough to pass out. He had used all his energy struggling from the mucks grip. His eyes snapped open, though, realizing that it wasn't just the mud that was pulling him under, there was someone tugging at his ankles. It seemed to hollow underneath him. Not realizing it, he kicked with all his might at the grasp of two cold snake-like hands. "Rggh..." To his great dismay, he distinguished the familiar feel of a needle being forcefully injected into his right leg. "Wha-..?" He suddenly couldn't move. His alarmed breathing suddenly got very relaxed and all senses seemed to be cut from him. Dizziness struck him like a dart and suddenly, everything went ebony.

A/N: Well, that was interesting! I brought Ed in! Yay me! (Not to mention I used his line! Nya!) Neways... yeah. That was fun. I'm trying to make my chapters a bit longer, if you've noticed... trying, being the key word. (lol) I'd like to thank FruitsBasketFreak44 and tear drops of flaming darkness for being the first to review! Yay! Thank you both! Please review... I begeth of thee... and! Flames are welcomed! Hehe... me like flames... they burn things! WAHAHA!
