Chapter seven: Off on a new adventure…

When he walked into the base the next morning there was a change in the atmosphere. It seemed… lighter, some how. He seemed almost relived. The base was calmer; there was no arguments, no fights. There were a few smart comments from some subordinates. He reached his office with only three comments of the night before. He sat at his desk and lowered his head on to the desk. He had gotten little sleep because of his thoughts of a certain person. Not only did he admit how he had felt about said person but he had also kissed him.

"Sir… you okay?"
"Tired. But that's nothing new. What can I do for you Yumi-chan?"

"Nothing much. There are just a few papers to read over. Mokoto and Chaos phoned and said that they will be in later but before the meeting. Riza-san phoned saying Colonel Mustang would like to see you when you get in. I have a coffee for you and a pen for you to use for when you are reading over the papers as you walk down the hall."

"Thanks Yumi-chan. Hand me a few off the papers and I'll read them over on the way to his office."

"Here are the papers, pen and your coffee."

"Arigatou Yumi chan." Ed said taking the pen off her and pocketed it. He then picked up the cup of coffee and the papers before walking out of the hall. He stopped every so often to reread over a few lines. He walked into the joining office to find Havoc writing down something.

"Morning Havoc."

"Edward. You're in early. Aa I had a few papers to sign. Any idea what he want's to see me for?"

"No idea. He's been in there with an elderly gentleman for about an hour now. I've heard muttering from here but nothing much. Riza has been out for a while though."

Ed sat in one of the empty chairs and continued to look over the papers and drink his coffee. He had finished signing the papers before handing them to Havoc.

"Why he's not like this? If he was all our lives would be so much simpler."

"That would be asking for to much."

"That's true."

Just then the door opened.

"Havoc is… Edward, why you waiting out here? never mind. Come in there is someone I want to introduce you to." Roy said opening the door wider to reveal an elderly man. The man had long white hair to the bottom of his shoulder blades. He had a long white beard that was down to his knee caps. He wore a long cloak which had stars stitched onto it. he also had half moon shaped glasses that sat on the edge of his nose.

"Hello. I'm Edward Elric."

"Albus Dumbledore. It's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Mustang has told me a lot about you."

"Has he? He didn't know my birthday two months ago."

"Really? How interesting. Anyway, I have a proposition for both of you. I run a school in Scotland. I have heard from Fuhrer that you two are the best alchemy users in Istanbul. I would be very so pleased if you two would consider working for the school. There are very talented students and willing ones as well."

"I'm up for the challenge."

"I think it will be a good idea. I also am up for the challenge."

"When are you ever ready for a challenge?"

"FULLMETAL!"

Ed covered his mouth to smother his laughter.

"Fullmetal?"

"Fullmetal is my name here. I can control the metal and elements here without needing symbols. This one is the flame Alchemist. He needs symbols on his gloves to control his power."

"so what is involved in this job?"
"Basically just teaching. I'll give you a list of all the rules that the students and you should follow. There are deductions of house points when they do not follow these rules. You will be giving detention when it suites. There will be events through out the year that will need to be attended."

"As long as it doesn't involve wearing a dress I'm fine with it."

"Only robes. All students and teachers wear them. And the parents of the magical world… oh I almost forgot there is also a student we need your help protecting. He is very important to the magical world and the muggle world."

"Muggle?"

"Non magical people. We'll give you rooms, books and food. But you will need to learn magic."

"that's fine by me." Ed said clasping his hands together.

"Okay." Roy said leaning on his hands.

"Who is the student we have to protect?"

"His name is Harry Potter. He is fifteen years old. He is powerful but not that much. We have good teachers but he needs to learn something else to go up against the man that is after him."

"There is a catch isn't there?"

"I think so. I have been in this world before but if you haven't then you will have to lose something."

"I'll lose for both of us then." Ed said.

"Ed…?"

"I've coped for eight years with out a real arm or leg so it doesn't bother me. When do we leave?"

"After the gathering." Roy said absently as he stared at Ed.

"Oke. I don't need much."

"Ed you don't need to lose for both of us."

"Ryo its fine."

"Koishii…"

"It's fine koi, besides I still have the arm and leg left in my office and I can perform alchemy with them."

"True demo…"

Ed placed a finger on Roy's lips as he leaned across the desk. "Roy, I know what I'm doing."

"One question." Albus said.

"Yes?" Ed asked.

"Are you two dating?"

"As of yesterday. Will that cause a problem?"

"Nope."

"not even with the students?"

"With some maybe but not with most of them."

"We'll keep it low key then." Ed said reaching behind him.

"N…Nani?" Roy said.

"So glad I brought this with me." Ed muttered before pulling out his 'new' gun and pointing it at Roy. "I don't want to startle the students. So please try and understand."

"I understand Edward." Roy said.

"We have a meeting to get to." Ed said seeing the time.

"Where shall I wait for you then?" Albus asked.

"you can stay here if you like." Roy said. "Unless you would prefer to go somewhere else?" Roy added.

"No here should be fine."

"We'll be back as soon as possible." Ed said smiling at Albus.

"Take your time." Albus replied smiling.

Roy and Ed walked out of the office and Havoc and Hawkeye followed them. Roy and Ed walked to the court yard were the troops had started to gather. Roy stood in his position with Ed beside him. Behind Ed were Yumi, Chaos and Mokoto.

"You two are late." Ed said seeing them.

"Gomen Boss."

"I don't want to hear any excuses."

"Yes Boss."

"Elric-sama?"

"Yumi-chan I need you to keep an eye on these two for me. I have a mission and I don't know when I'll be back but I'll be in contact."

"Hai."

"Don't let them push you around and Hawkeye will be there if you need her."

"Oke."

"Good Luck…you are going to need it." Ed said spotting the couple staring deep into each other's eyes.

"…I think I will." Yumi said seeing them as well.

"Pact it in you two. Before the Fuhrer arrives."

"Hai, boss. Gomen."

Just then the Fuhrer appeared on the platform. Everyone's attention went to the platform and they all stood at attention.

"Good morning all. as some of you know my time as Fuhrer is almost up. I have chosen my successor. My successor will be Brigadier General Roy Mustang. The flame Alchemist."

Applause went through the crowd. Some of the other Brigadier Generals did not appear pleased at this. Once the applause had dulled down the Fuhrer continued.

"I have another announcement to make before I leave you today. Our youngest alchemist is now Brigadier general and will be taken his place once he has returned from his mission. That will be all for today. Back to your stations."

"Elric-sama, congratulations."

"Arigatou Yumi-chan."

"Fullmetal we need to get going." Roy said turning to them.

"Hai, I need to get a few things from my office. I'll meet you and Mr. Dumbledore in your office in five minutes."

Roy nodded before Hawkeye, Havoc and he walked off. Yumi, Chaos and Mokoto turned to him.

"…"

"Nani?"

"…Your next mission is with him?"

"with him? You mean the next Fuhrer? Yes, it is." Ed said turning and walking into the building with his hands on the back of his head. Yumi, chaos and Mokoto all stared after him before running after him. When they reach his office they found him looking really confused before placing something in his coat pocket. He then grabbed his wallet, hair brush, tie and a small bag. He then turned to see all three of them staring at him.

"Nani?"

"What happened after we left?"

"Nothing much. You left; I said I had to go as well. Kissed him again and left. Why?"

"Then why are you going on this mission with him?"

"Fuhrer has an acutance that needs our help. We agreed to help so we are off to the place were the mission is going to take place." Ed said walking out of his office picking up his red coat as he went. He came face to face to face with his last subordinate. His name was Sho Lang Lai. He had blue hair and brown eyes. He was about twenty in appearance but in fact he was thirty.

"Lai-san."

"Boss, congratulations."

"Arigatou Lai-san." Ed said side stepping him to walk down the hall. "Yumi-chan, ike, I need to give you a few more instructions."

"Hai Elric sama."

Yumi and Ed walked down the hall. "Keep him in line as well. I will get word to you somehow. I will like updates as much as possible. If you can't get in touch with me ask Riza-san to get in touch with Roy. I'll be back as soon as I can oke?"

"Hai Elric-sama, Gambetta ne?"

"Hai Yumi-chan."

Ed and Yumi stepped into the joining office. Ed hugged Riza and said a quick good by before going into Roy's office. He placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out the leg and arm and became puzzled again.

"Ed, what's wrong?" Roy asked seeing his puzzled face.

"Mmm…you mean asides from Lai, Chaos and Mokoto. I touched the metal arm and leg and the shrunk to the size of a pen lid." Ed said holding them out to him.

"Huh? How did this happen?" Roy asked picking one up and examining it.

"It would seem that Mr Elric has the same power as Harry. If he wishes something it happens. He once made his uncles sister go up like a balloon."

"Honto ne?" Ed asked as Roy handed the small object back to him.

"Yes… do you have everything?"

"Cash, arm, leg, brush, tie, gun, bag? Yep got everything." Ed said checking everything off on his fingers.

"Cash, gloves, spare gloves, gun, and badge, persistent boyfriend? Yep that is everything I need." Ryo said smiling.

"Hang on I need to speak to nee-san." Ed said opening the door. He saw Yumi and Hawkeye in conversation. "Gomen Riza-san demo I was wondering if you could tell Al that I'll be away for a while."

"Of course, I will Ed. Brigadier General you harm one hair on his head and I will hunt you down."

"Hai, Riza-chan."

"Ed, don't let him take advantage of you." Riza whispered in his ear as she hugged him.

"I won't nee-san. Yumi-chan, take care of them ne? and Gambetta ne."

"Hai Boss."

"Mr Elric, it's time for us to leave."

"Hai." Ed said going to stand beside Roy. He picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder. Roy brushed his hand slightly. Albus dug around in his pocket and found what he was looking for. He pulled out a paper weight. He held it out in front of him.

"I would like you both to touch this on three. Understand?"

"Hai."

"Yes."

"Good. Now two fingers. One… two… three…"

Both Ed and Roy touched the paper weight and there was a flash of light in the office. Riza, Havoc and Yumi stood stunned at what just happened. Yumi was the first one to recover. She walked across to where Ed, Roy and Albus had been and felt around.

"W…W…Where did they go to?"

"W…Who knows." Riza said as she recovered. They fell back into their normal routine, but their thoughts were never far from their recently departed boss's.
