Sorry for the mix up people. But Al's State Alchemist name is NOT The new Edward Elric. I never even thought his about his name. So his name is the kitty-cat Alchemist! I'm just kidding! His name is Earth Alchemist. Because that basically what he does…he does a lot of things with his Alchemy to the earth so yeah. Roy was just telling him that you're taking Ed's place, live up to it. Don't blow it. Sorry for the mix up! Now please read on, and enjoy. Thank You-EarthxAngel.

Chapter one: The New Edward Elric

At first the title The New Edward Elric had been a fun and proud title. Now though it only seemed like a heavy burden, Alphonse felt like people were excepting him to be as good as his brother had been, but Al didn't know how to do that. He sat out in the rain, letting it soak his clothes. Winry opened the front door.

"Al...get your ass inside right now. You idiot your going to catch a cold" she said. Her long blonde hair falling in her face.

"Oh right sorry" said Al, he got up and walked inside. Al changed into some dry clothes; he sat by the window, watching the sun fall behind the clouds. It became dark, dark smothering the earth. The phone rang; Al stared at it as if not hearing it at all.

"Who in the world is calling at this time of night" asked Granny Pinako as she picked up the receiver.

"Hello, this is General Mustang I have important news to tell Alphonse" came the voice from the other side. Pinako shivered, she never liked the Military.

"Al it's for you" she said. Al quickly got up, and grabbed the receiver from her.

"General Mustang" said Al.

"Alphonse...have you seen or heard anything strange lately?" asked Mustang.

"No" replied Al.

"Just be careful okay" he said.

"O-okay but, General what's going on?" asked Al. There was a long pause, in which Roy sighed.

"Some Military officers said they caught sight of four Homunculus today" he said.

"They all died though" said Al shocked. Another long pause.

"There's not logical explanation at this point, I will contact you if anything else is to happen" said Mustang and hung up. Al sighed, and hung up as well. Al lay down on the couch, everybody else was asleep. His phone call had lasted longer than planned. Al knew that if Edward had been in this kind of situation, he would be out...searching for them.

Al felt so useless, and worn out. At that moment it didn't seem like he deserved the name The new Edward Elric...because he sure wasn't doing anything Ed would be doing. Alphonse fell asleep, the noises of the night lurking in on him.
