M.P.O.: Ok, decided to take a leaf out of JK's book and write the last chapter now, since I had a really good idea for it at..oh...3 in the morning...Yeah, I keep some strange hours. Stay up all night, run around the block at around 6:30am, and then study German for four hours before falling asleep for another six hours. My brain ish all funky cuz of coffee, 6 hours sleep, and around four hours of rossetta Stone lessons...One. After. Another! ARGH! I hate German now...But I still wanna learn it...Is it just me or does it sound like you're cussing someone out no matter what you say in that language? Anywho, getting back on point...I have a stopping point for this fic! A great achivement, considering all my other ones are trapped in an endless tunnel of WB, and have no endings yet! Whew.

Sakura- I meant for the last chapter to be like that, so that I could put a flashback in this one. Sorry for the confusion, but you should like this chapter even more, just cuz of what I put in it! :)

A New Terror

Onyx glared at the clock on the wall for the fifth time that day. Three days after their arrival in Central, enough time to get everything together and set up for their departure, and they were bored stiff waiting. On the desk in Roy's office was a length of rope, something Snape had called a 'Portkey', which would take them to their destination, ie: Hogwarts, in about three minutes. Of the ten people who had wanted to go in the first place, only five were leaving. So that's why Ed, Al, Winry, Onyx, and Roy were staring at the clock inbetween sighs of impatience and tapping fingers. Finally, after two minutes and thirty seconds, they all crowded around the desk and grabbed a peice of the rope, exactly as Albus had told them. What he hadn't told them however, was how the Portkey felt, so each of them was surprised, and slightly pissed, when they were pulled away by a sickening jerk behind the naval.

The group of five pissed off Ametran's landed somewhere in Scotland, on a streach of road between a tiny dilapidated village and a pair of huge Iron gates. Onyx shook his legs out, grimacing at the odd noise his automail made, and told himself to have Winry check it later. Beside him, Ed was having the same problem, only a bit worse. His Automail seemed to have siezed up, causing the blond to fall right on his arse in the dirt. Across from them, Al was making soft snickering noises, one hand hiding his face while the other clutched three bags. Winry blinked, releasing her death-grip on Roy's arm as she orientated herself with the new area, and Roy simply ran a hand through his hair casually as his eyes scanned the area.

"Well...That was...interesting." Onyx muttered, grapping his pack and slinging it over one black-clad shoulder. His trench coat (1) flowed like water around his legs and he stepped forward to examine the gates. He tilted his head catching a glimpse of the, according to Snape and the old man, huge castle beyond the trees. His thoughts drifted back to the day they had decided to go, eyes glazing over in thought.

Flashback:

"So you're saying that I'm the Savior of an entire Hidden World, kinda like Naruto is the 'Savior' of Konoha?" He asked, green eyes swirling with questions and thoughts as he absorbed what he had been told. Albus and Severus just looked confused, while Roy sighed into his breakfast, a white gloved hand meeting his forehead at an impressive rate as he listened to the talk around him. "Nevermind. Forgot you weirdos don't have good fiction..." He muttered, taking a bit of fruit as he waited for an answer.

"To put it frankly...Yes." Albus answered, since Severus was too busy flicking through a book on Alchemy his had found on Roy's shelf. The greasy haired Potion's master was completely absorbed, despite not knowing half of the terms, his obvious intelligence putting two and two together and getting four, like any good little book-worm would. Behind them all, Ed was sitting in a chair, his arms strapped to the sides and each finger carefully restrained so that he couldn't even scratch out a circle. To add insult to injury, his mouth was duck-taped shut, with a sipper and padlock (though how it got there nobody was saying. Onyx suspected Severus). The blond was staring longingly at Severus' wand, which was peeking from the man's pocket, and a twitch had set itself up right above his left eye, probably due to the sheer amount of short comments Snape had managed to get in before he was restrained.

"And this makes me want to help you how?" Onyx tilted his head at the Headmaster, blinking innocently, though the effect was ruined by the foot-long knife he was currently polishing. Albus blanched, sitting back in his chair and actually considering the question for once, his eye twinkle nearly gone for a few moments. Then the dratted twinkle came back full force as he sat up with a wry smile.

"An Alchemist be thou for the People isn't a good enough reason?" He asked slyly, obviously hoping to trap the young prodigy with that simple statement. He was disappointed when Onyx merely snorted.

"Yea, for my own country maybe. Your world has nothing to offer me, except for a few tales about my parent's of course, but I'm not very interested in that." He waved a hand in dismissal, ignoring the flabbergasted look on Albus' face as he showed absolutely no interest in his life before that fateful Halloween night.

"Well then...How about in the interest of knowledge? You are a wizard, and as such should have proper knowledge of how to use your full powers. Mr. Elric would be allowed to tag along of course, as would at least three others, should you choose to go..." Onyx had to stifle a laugh, for at that announcement, Ed's eyes had widened to the size of basketballs and he was practically salivating, those golden orbs just begging for him to accept.

"Well...I don't know...." He started to say, keeping an eye on Ed, who actually growled at him and gave him his best glare, the one that said you'd-better-damn-well-take-what-you-can-get! He snickered quietly and nudged Roy, who looked up and twitched in amusement at Ed's facial expression.

"How would he aquire this knowledge? I understand that you run a school for magic, but Onyx is 15. I beleive that you said the starting year was 11." Roy asked calmly, watching Ed out of the corner of his eye and trying hard not to laugh.

"Hogwarts currently has the largest Library in Britain," Al had to push Ed's jaw back into place. "And he would have full access. Also, he would be able to attend lessons with the other students if he so chose." Father and son locked gazes for a moment, before turning back to the blue eyed manipulator.

"We'll think about it and have an answer for you in two days." Roy said before standing and wheeling Ed out of the room. Protests echoed back to them, things like "wans't going to do anything bad to it!" and "Oh come on Colonel! I just wanted to see how he controled his magic! Perfectly scientific venture here!" Then a bellowed "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT A WAND LOOKS LIKE A FREAKING TREE?"

Two days later they accepted the offer. Albus, curious as to what he should expect, asked who all was going.

"Winry Rockbell, our mechanic. Dad, of course. Ed and Al, can't leave without them. And Moi, though I could just send Armstrong..." That particular statement was met with a snort of laughter from the three Ametrans and two confused Wizards...

End Flashback

"Interesting he says..." Ed grumbled, standing up as well as he could while his Automail leg shook. Winry snorted, rolling her eyes, and grabbed one of his arms, slinging it over her own shoulder and glaring when he attempted to refuse the help. He subsided, warily eyeing the wrench hanging from the taller girl's belt.

"I guess that's Hogsmead...So Hoggity's must be behind that gate..." Al mused, walking up behind Onyx and Roy, who were staring through the gate.

"It's Hogwarts..." Onyx muttered absently, one hand reaching forward and prodding the gate curiously. It swung open silently, either spelled quiet or just well oiled. They all looked at each other and shrugged before starting up the path. Ten minutes later they stopped dead, eyes wide as they took in the beauty that was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Onyx scanned the battlements and towers eagerly, almost as if planning future battle schemes and other less deadly things. The others took a few minutes to drink in the beauty before Onyx coughed, drawing them out of their thoughts.

"Hey...Anyone wanna make a scene?" He grinned devilishly, eyes twinkling with mischief, which soon spread to those around him, with the exception of Al, and he doesn't have eyes anyway.

The Great Hall was filled with chattering students, talking over their evening meal and the occational studious one, including the entirety of Ravenclaw table, studying a textbook. Albus smiled out at the hall, calmly working his way through a steak and kidney pie, while Severus fidgeted beside him. The potion's master was eager to get his hand on another of Roy's Alchemy books, though they had no idea when the group would actually be showing up. They had just started dessert when the doors opened in a crackle of green and blue energy, slamming against the walls with a loud bang that silenced the hall. In the center of the doorway, two figures battled, one weilding a footlong dagger and what looked like a japanese Katana, while the other had a blade that came right out of his sleeve. Each was bouncing back and forth, clashing in brief intervals and snarling threats at each other. What nobody could see was the twin grins that adorned both of their faces as their battle provided the distraction for the others to get into the hall unnoticed.

Severus was staring wide eyed at the two figures, his wand held loosely in his hand as he watched the enbony and blond boys dance across the floor. Occational bursts of Alchemist energy showed up, mostly blue, though the odd green spark popped up once in a while, effectivly ruining the floor around them.

"Pretty good aren't they?" He nearly jumped over the table at the voice in his ear and spun to face the threat, wand raised. Roy Mustang laughed in his face, followed closely by a girl with long blond hair and the suit of Armor. Severus scowled, tucking his wand away and turning just in time for Albus to regain himself.

"Messrs Elric and Mustang, would you please discontinue your fight until a more appropriate time?" He called out, blue eyes twinkling with amusement at the entrance the group had made. The two boys, who were already at a standstill, Onyx's dagger to Ed's throat and his Katana to the gut, while Ed's blade rested on his sternum, looked at the Headmaster, pouting for all the hall to see.

"Awe, Abe! It was just getting interesting!" Onyx called back, blinking as sweetly as he could at the old man while several girls swooned in the background. Albus shook his head, rolling his eyes.

"You can practice another time boys. I'm sure you're hungry anyway. Care to join us for dinner?" He beconned them forward, gesturing to two extra chairs (the others were already seated). Onyx and Ed looked at each other for a moment beofre shrugging and stepping apart swiftly. Ed's blade retracted with a small crackle of alchemy, so slight that people assumed it was hidden in a sheath, and Onyx tucked his dagger back into his boot and slid the Katana back into it's scabard across his back. Both boys walked the distance to the head table, grinning mischivously, and meticulously ignoring the stares, and in Ed's case, whispers of shortness.

"Ah yes...Students and staff! Let me introduce you to our guests for the next few months. Colonel Roy Mustang, his son Onyx, and their friends Edward and Alphonse Elric, and Winry Rockbell. All will be staying for an indeffinable period of time, so be sure to be polite and extend the hand of friendship. A word of warning though. Our esteemed guests will not tolerate any attack on thier person, and will fight back with intent to disarm or incapacitate. I also urge you not to comment on anyone's stature, blood purity, or other prejudiced nonsense." He gazed around the hall, his blue eyes fixing on a platinum blond with green trimmed robes and a red head with red ones. "That is all, do continue your meal." He sat back down, once again tucking in to his favorite dish as conversation started up again, this time circled around the strangers and their odd entrance.

Onyx sat, pulling a plate towards himself before spying the mess they had made of the floor. Bending down slightly, he pressed his fingers to the stone. Green energy swirled up, grabbing the jutting stonework and dragging it back down until the floor was level and unmarked, just as it had been before they arrived.

Red eyes narrowed at the offending peice of parchment resting in front of him. Several words jumped out at him, forcing him to reread several times before he could absorb it all.

My Lord,

My son has informed me of a strange happening at Hogwarts. Last night during dinner a group of five people showed up, two of them fighting, apparently for show, in the great hall. Each of them wore strange clothing, though the two fighting wore something similar to robes, and had weapons on their person. One character in particular caught my son's eye. He is tall, around 5'11" with long black hair held in a braid, and vivid green eyes. Draco could not get a clear veiw on the boy, but said that his appearance was similar to that of a younger James Potter. The others were also odd, the eldest with short dark hair and blue eyes, the shortest with golden blond hair and eyes, and a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. Thye were accompanied by either a walking suit of armor, or a man in said suit, who did not eat or take off his helmet during the meal. The names of each individual area s follows, in order of description: Onyx Mustang, Colonel Roy Mustang, Edward Elric, Winry Rockbell, and Alphonse Elric.

I hope this note finds you well and that the information will serve you in the future.

Your loyal servant,

Lucius Malfoy.

Next to that letter was another shorter message, which had caused him to see red and destroy nearly everything in sight.

Heya Dark Loogey!

Potter here, also known as the Boy-Who-Lived, or the Chosen One. Really how in hades did they come up with these names? Psh. Anyway! I hear you've missed me these last few years. Ready to go another round are you? Should be easy for you to kick my ass, almost like taking the life of a child...wait...that's what you tried the first time! *evil snicker* Bet you can't wait to get your hands around my neck can you? Well too bad! Cuz you're just going to have to wait like every other bad little villan for me to step out of my cozey little shelter and into the spotlight once more. Pity...I kinda liked the dark...Oh well.

Hey Tommy! Mind if I call you Tommy? Of course you don't, what was I thinking? Anywho, you might want to tell Dear Draco's father that that little message was a bad idea. Oh yes, I know about the letter. In fact, I know a lot of things about what goes on around there...You could almost say I was reading your mind...But that would be impossible from such a distance...Oh dear me, I've gotten off topic again!

Anywho, Abe says Hi, and so does Sal come to think of it...Who knew Slytherin wasn't a potion's master like everyone thought? Seriously? Charms dude, that's what he liked. It was Dear Godric who loved the 'sutle art of potion's making...' as Snape once muttered as he passed. I think he was rehearsing something...0.o!

Oh! Got to split! Queen Bee is trying to rope me into a game of catch the Alchemist again...Huh...I always thought Nickolas was dead...guess not!

Your Greatest Conundrum,

Harry Potter *AKA: The Boy-Who-Lived-To-Annoy-All-The-'Evil'-Boogers-In-Those-Dark-Nostrils-Of-Doom!*

Voldemort twitched. Then he growled. Then he incinerated his desk, the room and everything around him. Once he had calmed down, a single peice of unmarked parchment floated to the floor.

PS: I made this letter indestructable. Have fun!

The next Death Muncher through the door was dead before he could even comprehend the flash of green light.

M.P.O.: Ok, my letters suck, I'll admit it. Not very good at letter writing, despite my other talents. Odd... Anyway, What do you think? A bit more on Hogwarts next chapter, individual student reactions and whatnot, and Ed and Onyx find the Library! *Squee!* I wonder if Madam Pince can handle them? Or Filtch for that matter...they did mess up the floor in the Great Hall after all... Sorry for any errors in this one. I didn't go over it before I posted. If you find any truely horrid ones, please PM me or point it out in a review and I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thanks!
