Akina slowly opened her blue eyes only to find out that she ached all over and that she was in a hospital bed.

'Hospital bed?' Aki quickly sat up but immediately regretted it when a searing pain coursed her arm.

"Ouch! What the...oh… right, now I remember." She gazed at her now tightly bandaged arm.

She looked around the room but found no one there…. Not even a doctor. Akina then head muffled voices out side the door. She tried to edge closer from her spot, straining to hear the conversation.

"Fullmetal, when I said that Illusionist would come with you two and help with your research, I didn't mean to look for trouble and have her get injured" said Roy with a serious look on his face.

"Were not baby sitters!" Ed responded.

"We were not looking for trouble she just got kidnapped." Said Alphonse explaining the current situation.

Akina heard enough, "I did not get kidnapped just knocked unconscious, I can take care of myself you know!" she shouted 'Im not neither useless nor helpless" she thought.

Ed, Al, and Roy stopped their argument to look at Aki surprised that she awoken.

"Your awake, Aki you should rest some more" suggested Alphonse "You weren't supposed to wake up until we came back from Resembool"

Akina blinked in confusion looking at Ed to Al to Roy and back at Ed again. "You guys were going to Resembool and you were just going to leave me here in the hospital?"

"Well I need to check my auto mail to see if there was any damadge from my last battle with the homunculus." Said Ed

"The train leaves tomorrow and…" Al was interrupted

"Take me with you" said Aki who desperately didn't want to stay here in the hospital.

"What? why?" Ed asked "You're in no condition to go any where."

"It was just a stab on my arm nothing serious or anything" she replied defensively.

Roy then decided to speak up "And exactly who was it that you have gotten injured by, oh… and I also need a report."

"The homunculus have been using humans to make the philosophers stone, that must be why there are so many killings. "And I got stabbed by one of them" she said wincing as she tried to move her shoulder.

"Don't overdo it Aki. Your right, the doctor said that it wasn't severe or anything but you did lose a lot of blood. And you sort of passed out." Ed told her while pointing at her wound.

As Roy was pondering on what he been told, he turned around to face Ed and Al.

"There has been rumors about humans with special abilities, and also several killings took place in a town called Eurkania."(A/N: Sorry I made up the name)

"Let me guess, you want us to get to the bottom of this, see the source of the killings, and stop it?" said Edward curtly.

"Well, you are the dog of the military so… yes, you are to investigate." Said Roy

"So when do we leave to go to Eurkania?" she asked the colonel. Everyone looked at her incredulously.

"Tomorrow, train leaves at 11:00." Said Roy, Alphonse gave Akina a concerned look.

"Are you sure about this?"

Yes, look I can move my arm now…" Said Akina, moving her arm a little.

"All right then, Al, Aki, get ready to go to Eurkania tomorrow …" said Ed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A dark figure stood up to its full height, facing Lust. "Well lets see we gave you the stones now for a name hmm…" She pondered in thought until she finally thought of a name.

"Misery, your name will be Misery, now listen we want you to go after the Fullmetal Alchemist, and that girl he's with, Akina also known as the Illusionist Alchemist, let her agree to come with you, either that or kill her got it?"

"Y-yes…" said the figure known as Misery as he disappeared off into the distance.

"Great now we have another homunculus, now what? Even I or Dante could've done a lot better with the naming" Envy snickered walking up to Lust who decided to ignore that last comment.

"Now we have to wait and see what he does…"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure this is it? Is this Eurkania?" Asked Alphonse as he stared in shock at the town in front of them.

"Sure is Al, there's no doubt about it look there's the sign right over there" responded Ed while pointing to a bent looking sign that said Eurkania in bold letters.

"What happened to this place, where is everyone?" questioned Aki who was also staring at the destruction in front of them. Windows of homes were smashed and bits of blood decorated almost every wall, not only that but the vegetation was scarce.

"It looks like a ghost town" replied Alphonse as he, along with Ed and Aki walked through the town.

"Maybe there are some survivors still hiding around here." Said Akina as she walked near a home, Ed narrowed his eyes,

'Something just doesn't fell quite right,' he thought following Aki. Alphonse tagged along; as Ed walked he saw a dark silhouette move by.

"Whoa! Ed did you see that? I think there are some survivors!" said Al, pointing at the figure.

Yeah I see him" he said looking at the figure also.

"Maybe this person can tell us the events that happened here." Said Aki thoughtfully, Ed walked over to the figure, it was cloaked in shadow so he couldn't tell what the person looked like.

"Hey are you okay?" Ed called to him. His only response was having him turn around and run.

"Wha… Hey! I was talking to you!" shouted Edward while he ran after the guy trying to keep up with him.

"Brother! Ed wait, oh…never mind like he would listen." Said Alphonse running to the direction Ed went with Aki at his side.

Meanwhile Ed was still running after the dark figure, until he stopped at a town square. "All right it's the end of the road pal, so will you stop running?" His response was only silence until the cloaked shadow raised its arms. The ground around Ed's feet rose, it looked like it was made of liquid, it coiled around Edward's body like a snake, then hardened into stone.

"What the…" Ed struggled to break free but it was useless since he couldn't move his arms. The figure stepped into the light losing its shadowed appearance to reveal… a kid?

He had deathly pale skin, green eyes, and black hair that was cut short, an evil smirk played on his lips, he looked about the age of twelve. Ed observed the kid ' Is it just me or does he look familiar' but he shoved the thought in the back of his head, thinking it wasn't as important right now as being waiting to be killed at the moment.

The Boy smiled smirked evilly coming toward Ed until a very sharp dagger came whizzing by his head, he dodged it and looked around for the owner of the weapon.

"Ed! Are you okay?" said Aki running up to Edward "hold still…" Akina clapped her hands and used her alchemy to make the stone into a weaker substance, soon Ed was free.

"Im going to kick that brats butt!" He shouted

"Ed this little kid did this to you?" Alphonse asked his brother.

"That's no ordinary kid, look at his left arm." Al glanced at the boys arm and was shocked to see that between his shoulder and his elbow was a red tattoo, a symbol that looked awfully familiar.

"He's a homunculus!"

Aki took her first look at the boy and swore her heart skipped a beat. In front of her was a person she thought she would never see again. One breathless word escaped her lips….

"Haru…"
