Annatrista groaned internally as she saw the human shaped white being called the truth

"what do you want?" She snapped at the truth. He chuckled creepily

"you activated the circle Miss Alchemist. Your the one who has to figure that out." He waved sarcastically with a creepy as the all too familiar black arms came through the gate and tugged on her. She fought hopelessly before being thrown through the black void of the truth portal

Annatrista found herself in the streets of the east city, only it looked much older than she remembered. She stood up in the rain and began to walk towards headquarters. She heard and saw transmutations going on in an alley and saw a blonde boy come flipping uncontrollably out of the alleyway. He flipped his coat back over his head as he stood and took it off revealing an Automail arm. He charged his opponent, still in the alleyway, only to come flying backwards with his Automail in pieces. The man moved to grab his head. Assuming the worst, she intervened. She raced forward and kept into the air. She kicked the man in the face, shouting "TAKE AN KNEE!" She flipped away and landed just before several solders. The boy stared astounded as she charged the man again. She summersaulted jumping up at the last second and punched his chin. The man staggered backwards a few steps as a gun went off. They both turned to look at the one who fired the weapon. There stood Erik Mustang, her superior officer

"step aside child." The man's voice was deeper than she remembered, but he looked exactly like Erik

"No! We aren't finished fighting!" She snapped. She turned and ducked quickly as the man lunged. She responded by snapping a high kick at him. He dodged and she swung at him. He grabbed her arm and tried to destroy it. She sighed in relief as it didn't break. Casting aside her coat so it didn't shred, she transmuted the traditional Elric blade on her arm. She heard hushed whispers of astonishment as they watched her. She slashed at him, cutting lightly across his chest, drawing blood. He true again to destroy her arm and succeeded only in knocking her off her feet. She hit the ground so hard that her sunglasses were knocked off. She sprung to her feet and the man lunged for her face. Suddenly he froze. One of the solders discharged a weapon, catching his shoulder. His glasses slid off and broke and both opponents realized that the other was Ishvarlan. They stood staring at each other I astonishment. Neither of them picked up on the subtle signs that the other gave off like extreme agility. Annatrista clapped her hand and the blade disappeared. The man understood this silent message, I will not be responsible for killing one of my own people

"there is no point, Scar. We have you surrounded!" The Mustang look-alike said. They were surrounded on almost every side, except where the wall was. Suddenly the man destroyed the asphalt and escaped. The look-alike had to pull her back to keep her from falling in. She took a good look at him with her ruby red eyes and noticed that he also looked older than her god father

"who are you?" He asked, slightly shocked

"It's none of your damned business!" She pulled away. she looked at the blonde boy, who had ran over to the broken suit of armor. they were locked in an arguement and the suit of armor was throwing punches...

but it was hollow...just like Erin.
