S'up peoples? I know this chapter is way overdue but I've been working on my other stuff. I worked on it all day today though so I could post it this weekend. And I just want to apologize to the people I've used in this if I got your gender wrong. I'm sorry, I can't tell by some of your names. But your names give me crazy ideas for this.

In the last chapter I forgot to list who was in it so I'll do that now. Thanks goes to Rokuchuchu, Ed'.Kitten, , Animals are my life, xxDarngerousPiexx, Elementess, mushratheenterrancant log in, YourSecretStalker (I love you little sis!), Jennii, Lexia, Moka-girl, IceFire Dragon Alchemist73, lonewolfgirl-sademo588, AuthorChick96, Ashelyelric, Christian Girl 1023, Fate's Obsession, Cursed Bunny.

Whew, that's a lot of people. I hope I got them all listed. Anyway, on with the chapter! Note: in the last chapter Ed and Al left the swamp at the end. But what's going on in this chapter?...

Ed and Al awoke in a thick fog.

"Where are we?" Ed groaned sitting up.

"I don't know." Al replied, sitting up as well. "I…passed out somehow."

Ed looked to his brother but he seemed fine now. "I passed out too. I don't know how. I can't remember."

"Do you want to find the answer which you seek?"

Ed and Al looked up to find the owner of the voice.

"I am known as ZodiarkSavior. I can help you find the answer if that is what you wish."

"…Okaaay." Ed said, thoroughly weirded out.

"Follow me." ZodiarkSavior nodded and went into the thick of the fog.

"Should we?" Al asked nervously.

"We've got no other choice." Ed shrugged and got off of the ground. They hurried after their only lead.

"Where are we?" Al asked the mysterious stranger.

"You should know. You've been here before." ZodiarkSavior said smoothly. The fog ended abruptly, giving them a clear view of the area.

"A swamp?" Al questioned, confused.

"Wait, it can't be!" Ed cried, horror struck.

"What is it Brother?"

"This isn't just any swamp. It's the swamp."

"You don't mean that creepy one we got lost in, do you?"

"I do." Ed affirmed. He turned to question ZodiarkSavior but no one was there. "Where did…" Ed trailed off.

"Mwahahahaha!" came an eerie cackle from the distance.

"Brother?" Al squeaked.

Ed gulped, "Yeah, I heard it too." Then he swallowed his fear and trudged forward, "Come on."

"But-" Al objected. Realizing that Ed was serious he ran after him, "Wait for me!"

They wandered through the wilderness, following the sounds of the evil laughter. When they found the origin of it, they were stupefied.

A girl dressed all in black, including a black pointy hat, was leaning over a cauldron. She stirred the liquid inside, cackling menacingly as she did.

"Um…" Al began thoughtfully.

The girl looked up at them, halting her wild laughter. Her face transformed from dark amusement to open friendliness, "Oh, hi there!"

The brothers exchanged a nervous glance. "Hi." they returned weakly.

"Want some?" the girl gestured to the cauldron.

"What is it?" Al asked politely.

"Kool-Aid."

They shook their heads. "Who are you?" Ed asked.

"Ugh, where are my manners? Sorry, I'm Raven."

"Right, Raven. Can you tell us how to get out of this place?"

Her eyes darkened, "You want to leave?"

"Uh, yeah…"

"Never!" she screamed. Then she pointed her finger at them, "Get them my pet!"

A tiny figure stepped around the cauldron. Immediately, the brothers paled.

"It's back!" Ed screamed, staring wide eyed at the moving teddy bear.

"Oh, look. It got a new knife." Al commented, distracted.

"Run away!" Ed grabbed Al and hightailed it out of there.

Ten minutes later…

"I…hate…this place." Ed huffed from all the running.

"I think we lost it." Al said.

"Thank Gate."

Then Ed was glomped to the ground.

"Gah!" Ed fell over with someone on top of him. He looked down at the person. "Who are you?" he demanded.

"I'm very pleased." they said. Then as suddenly as they had appeared, the person got up and ran off.

"That was…strange." Al said.

Ed picked himself up off the ground and brushed the dirt off his clothes in frustration. "I hate this place." he repeated.

"Brother!" Al exclaimed, pointing past him.

Immediately, Ed spun around. He had expected an enemy but nothing was there. He turned back to Al who seemed to be panicking, "What is it, Alphonse?"

"You can't see it?" Al asked, voice trembling as he stared at what appeared to be nothing.

Ed looked back and forth between Al and what he was pointing at, "No. There's nothing there."

"It's a person but they're see through." Al explained, his voice rising higher with his fear.

Ed's eyebrows furrowed at Al's strange behavior, "Al, have you been drinking too much red water?"

Al didn't answer. Instead, he took a step back and screamed, "Get away from me!" Then his whole body shuddered violently. Afterwards, he became eerily still.

"Al?" Ed asked in a subdued tone.

"There is no Al here." a different voice came from Al's armor. "I am TheCrimsonGhost309! Bwahahaha!"

"Okay, this is creepy." Ed said, taking steps back away from the possessed armor.

"I have come to deliver a message." it went on.

"And that would be?"

"Beware FullMetalWizardNerd7!" the voice cried. Then it dissipated, leaving Al altogether.

"Brother?" Al's voice asked.

"Al?"

"What just happened?"

"…I have no idea."

They decided that it was just too weird and they would try to move on past it and find a way out of the godforsaken swamp.

Ten minutes later…

"I don't think we're getting anywhere." Ed grumbled.

"I'm starting to think this place goes on forever." Al agreed.

Ed sunk to his knees and screamed in desperation, "How do we get out of here? Just send me a sign!"

Al tapped him on his shoulder.

"What?" the older Elric asked.

Al said nothing. He pointed past him. Ed looked up and, lo and behold, there was a sign on a post.

"Well, that's freakish." Ed admitted. He hadn't really expected his desperate plea to work and it kinda creeped him out that it had.

They walked over to the sign and looked at it curiously. On the sign was: yyh-ygo-fma.

A vain throbbed on Ed's forehead as he bellowed, "I ask for a sign and I get it and I don't even know what the hell it means!"

"I can tell you what it means."

The brothers turned around at the voice and found a scrawny kid with glasses standing behind them.

"Hello. Who are you?" Al asked calmly.

"I go by FullMetalWizardNerd7 but you can call me Bob."

Ed raised his eyebrows, "Isn't FullMetalWizardNerd7 the person the ghost thing warned us about?"

Al shrugged, not remembering since he had been possessed at the time.

"You must have ran into TheCrimsonGhost309." the kid concluded.

"Why did it warn us against you?" Ed asked, scanning the kid. He seemed harmless enough.

FullMetalWizardNerd7 chuckled, "He's just grumpy because I stole his cupcake."

"Oh…" the brothers murmured. They were both thinking how weird this kid was.

"And I was the one who killed him."

"…Come again?" Ed asked. "Did you just say you killed him?"

"Yes. But honestly, I'm really just an innocent psycho." he smiled brightly.

"Al." Ed whispered to his brother. "Back away nice and slowly."

The strange kid, still smiling, pointed his finger to the sky, "Look up."

They did as he commanded. They looked just in time to see a girl fall from the sky and right in front of them.

"What the-!" Ed blurted, hiding behind Al. He peeked around the suit of armor to peer at the girl.

"Are you okay?" Al asked her.

"Ow." the girl groaned as she stood and rubbed her back. "I'm never trying that again."

"Um, what were you doing and why did you just fall out of the sky?" Ed asked, stepping around Al.

She looked at them and then waved the questions away, "You don't want to know."

"Hey, he's gone!" Al gasped.

"Who?" the girl asked curiously.

"FullMetalWizardNerd7." Ed stated, looking around the area wondering where he had run off to. Not that he was complaining but it made him nervous not knowing where he had went.

The girl growled at that.

"What, you know him?" Ed asked.

She nodded, "And when I find him I'm gonna kill him!"

"What did he do to piss you off?"

"That bastard stole my cupcake!" she fumed.

"Uh, my name's Alphonse." Al tried to distract the furious girl. "Who are you?"

The girl sighed, reigning in her anger. "I'm KikiElric Goddess of Alchemy. I'm a State Alchemist."

"Seriously?" Ed asked. "Same here. I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist."

"Yeah, I know." she replied nonchalantly.

"What? How?" he sputtered.

Kiki rolled her eyes, "ZodiarkSavior sent me to help you guys."

"You know that weirdo?" Ed asked, surprised.

"Unfortunately." she said, voice strained.

"He mentioned something about finding an answer." Al said.

"Yeah, I'm supposed to help you find the answer."

"The answer to what?" asked Ed.

Kiki shrugged, "Beats me."

"Aren't you a lot of help?" Ed said sarcastically.

She narrowed her eyes at them, "Do you want my help or not? Cause I'm pretty sure I know a hell of a lot more about what's going on here than you do."

"Have you been here before or something?" Al asked.

She grimaced, "Not exactly. My uncle came here once, though."

"Who's your uncle?"

"Roy Mustang." she said. She went on, not noticing how the brothers gaped at her, "He was trying to find the way to Candy Mountain with some friend named Charlie. Uncle Roy and Charlie got lost in this place and lots of things happened. Bad things. Charlie didn't make it back."

"What happened to him?" Al's voice quivered.

"I'm not really sure. All I know is it started with christmas tree cookies and stuffed animals and it all went down hill from there."

The brothers nodded. They could understand all too well about the stuffed animals. They had never been able to look at teddy bears the same way ever again after they had escaped the swamp the first time. As for the cookies, they decided not to comment on that.

"So how did Mustang get out of this place?" Ed asked the girl.

"First we-" Kiki began but she was cut off when all hell broke loose.

A group of people entered the area and Kiki immediately recognized them. She assumed a fighting stance, knowing that a brawl was about to commence. Conrad1998, who was armed with two deadly blades, MusicalXMolly, who seemed cute and innocent but rode around on a pogo stick of death and loved nothing more than to bounce on people to death, adiza, who held a whip at the ready, and finally Morpheus9494, who lugged around a giant bazooka. They had come prepared to fight to the death.

"Get ready you guys." Kiki told the brothers. They quickly followed her lead. She jumped into the fray first and Ed and Al were about to join her but then they stared in awe as Kiki unleashed her wrath upon them.

In the end, there was much rubble, many upturned and cut down trees, numerous craters in the ground, and four fallen bad guys.

"That takes care of that." Kiki smirked, brushing her hands together in satisfaction.

Ed was the first to get over his shock. "That was amazing! I've never seen alchemy used like that!"

She shrugged, "What can I say? The talent runs in the family."

Ed snorted, "You're not referring to Colonel Bastard, are you?"

Kiki instantly knew who he meant, "Hell no! I was talking about my cousin, Elementess."

"Didn't Lust say something about an Elementess?" Ed asked his brother.

"Yeah, the last time we were here." Al nodded.

"Lust the homunculus?" Kiki asked and they nodded. "Yeah, she went up against the Homunculi and they summoned Roku cause she was totally kicking their asses. But that turned out to be a mistake because Roku wasn't in a good mood that day and he wasn't too happy about them summoning him."

Ed and Al were about to question her more on the subject but someone jumped out of the bushes, surprising them.

"Who are you?" the three of them asked in unison.

"Wolpy." was the only answer they got. Then they watched as Wolpy pulled out odd things and tossed them over the fallen bad guys. Sparkles and light surrounded each of the bodies, healing their wounds. They opened their eyes and rose to their feet, ready to fight again.

"Hey!" Kiki stomped her feet angrily as she glared at Wolpy. "You can't use phoenix downs! That's not fair! This isn't freaking Final Fantasy for God's sakes!"

Wolpy smiled, "My bad," then ran off.

"That little turd." Kiki seethed.

"Um, they're up again and now they've got more with them. What do we do?" Al asked. As he had said, more had joined the bad guys. Dently12, sporting a mace, animeotaku123, wearing gloves with spikes on the knuckles, and XXeDA The Amiss, using a bow. Now it was seven to three.

"What else? We fight!" Kiki said confidently. "Though I may need you guys on this one. I'm kinda of tired out from the last round."

"We've got your back." Ed grinned as he and Al flanked her. Then the battle commenced.

Ten minutes later…

The battle was still waging on and all of the people were fighting with everything they had.

Finally, an onlooker, who they hadn't noticed before, had had enough.

"Stop this!" the person cried.

Everyone froze to stare at the newcomer.

xXEmiShaeXx stood there, pleading, "Stop this nonsense. It's crazy!"

They all looked at him.

"Why?" Ed asked.

"Don't you see what's going on here?" EmiShae asked. "This is all LeFay's doing. She's written that you guys fight. She's manipulating you. Stop this madness!"

"Say what?" I asked, looking up from my laptop.

"Is this true?" Ed asked fiercely, stomping over to me.

I stared up at him, "Uh, yeah. Kinda."

Ed exploded, "What the hell! You freaking madwoman! You've been putting us through all this crap! Why?"

I shrugged, "It entertains my readers."

"Oh, and you couldn't have come up with something better than this crazy ass place?"

I frowned, "What, you think you can write something better?"

"Damn straight!" Ed yelled, snatching the laptop away from me. He paused for a moment. Then smirked, "I think I have a better idea."

I could see what he was about to do and I began in my most calm voice, "Ed, you don't want to do that. If you do there will be severe consequences."

Ed's smirk remained, "Oh, well." Then he threw the computer to the ground and did a tap dance on it, smashing it to pieces.

My jaw dropped. I looked up at his smiling face, "What have you done? You've doomed us all!"

Ed rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

"No, you don't understand. I put a program on my computer and it would activate itself in the event of the destruction of the laptop. Now we're all gonna die!" I screamed.

"Why'd you put something stupid like that on it in the first place then?" Ed shouted back at me.

"I don't know! I was bored!"

"Just calm down." Al told us. "If we work together we can sort this out. Now, what was the program?"

I sighed, "You'll find out in ten minutes."

Ed groaned, "What is it with you and ten minutes?"

"Brother, be nice. She is the author after all."

"She's put us through hell and you want me to be nice to her? No way!"

Al let out a sigh of his own. Then he caught site of something and asked, "Um…what are they doing?"

We looked to see what he was staring at and found that Kiki, EmiShae, and the former bad guys were all sitting around a table having a tea party.

"That's freakish." Ed muttered. Then called louder, "What are you doing Kiki?"

"We're having tea at a tea party! We just adore parties and tea!" she laughed in a British accent.

"What's going on?" Al asked.

Ed turned to me, "Yeah. Why are they acting like that? Especially Kiki. She seemed like the most normal person we've met in this place and now she's gone loony."

I rubbed my eyes tiredly, "It's side effects of the program I installed on my computer. Weird stuff is going to keep happening until the ten minutes are up."

"Weird stuff like what?"

I looked up and tried not to laugh, "Like that?"

He looked down at himself when I pointed at him and he gasped, "What the hell? Why am I wearing a maid's uniform? Where'd my clothes go? Someone's going to pay for this!"

"I feel pretty!" Al said happily, wearing his own maid's uniform over his armor.

Ed face palmed, "Just do me a favor and shoot me in the head."

"It's almost here." I warned them.

Ed started, "It hadn't been ten minutes yet, has it?"

I shrugged, "What can I say? Time flies when you're having fun."

Then it happened. Out of the bushes came the fiercest creature I had ever seen.

Everyone stared at in horror and shouted, "Cursed bunny!" Everything soon became chaos.

"Kiki!" I shouted over the commotion.

"I'm here!" she yelled back. She pushed her way through somehow and mad it over to us. "This is turning into a bloodbath."

"Get us out of here. Fast!" I told her.

She saluted me with a grin, "Right boss."

"How is she going to do that?" Al asked.

"Kiki has very special alchemy and can use it to basically teleport people." I explained.

"Yeah right." Ed scoffed.

"Here we go!" Kiki announced and grabbed onto all of us. The scene around us disappeared as she teleported us.

Props go to Taylor for giving me the idea of the girl falling out of the sky.

I have no idea where I'm going with this and I have no clue when the next chapter will be but as long as there are people reviewing TBA I will continue this story.
