School Boredom, so here's a chapter.

Also note that I'm placing a poll on my user asking you guys, my readers, what stories you want me to continue writing ASAP. Please go and vote. :D

REALIZE THIS: Even though the Cataclysm has happened in-game, it hasn't happened here yet…but I've got big plans for it to be involved.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!

There hadn't been any progress in finding Envy. None of the other Alliance cities reported seeing the druid, and for this Alphonse felt thankful. The case was baffling more than just the group trying to hunt him down, though.

"We can't figure out where he went once he left the cell," Edward stated.

Alphonse sighed in relief, but everyone must have taken it for exhaustion at the case. "We'll find him, don't worry!" one of the guards called out.

"YES!" a very familiar voice roared from the back of the room.

Alphonse and Edward turned, just to find themselves caught in a bear hug, courtesy of Major Armstrong. "Don't worry, Elric brothers, we will find the Homunculi and find our way back home!"

"Can't…breathe!" Edward managed to get out. Major Armstrong released them and they fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

A second voice said, "King Wrynn did explain that we might see familiar faces." Roy Mustang, a man with black hair and black eyes, walked up, standing next to the Major. Next to the Major, he appeared to be shorter than normal, but he was taller than the Death Knight sitting at his feet. "Good to know you got your body parts back."

The duo didn't mention about the possibility that these may just be constructed bodies. Alphonse had to admit that he already felt himself being rejected from the fake body, but he wasn't willing to tell anyone just yet.

"Is there anyone else we need to know about?" Edward growled.

"Yes," a female voice said. Izumi Curtis walked forward, causing Edward to groan.

"Ok, how long have you guys been here?" He retorted.

"Quite a while," Mustang replied. "I was in the middle of a bunch of mountains. Found my way to a group of dwarves, who took me to their village."

"Kharanos," Alphonse added. At Mustang's questioning look, Alphonse explained, "The dwarves call their main city Ironforge, and outside of that in Dun Morogh, there's Kharanos."

Mustang nodded. "That sounds about right."

"A group of Draenei found me near their city, The Exodar!" Major Armstrong declared.

Izumi claimed, "The Night Elves found me and took me to Darnassus."

Edward nodded. He sighed, but felt Mustang's observing eye on him. "Now, you want to tell us how you came to be a Death Knight, Fullmetal?" He asked.

"Um, well, about that…" Edward started, not really wanting to admit he didn't remember much of what happened in the past year the Elric Brothers have been on Azeroth.

Alphonse cut across for him. "It was one of the other Death Knights. She fell back under the Lich King's control and took him with her to Icecrown Citadel. The rest in blatant."

Mustang nodded. "Well, there's not much we can do with the Lich King. We might as well focus on finding Envy."

"Who put you in charge?" Edward challenged.

"King Wrynn," Mustang replied without pause.

Edward sighed. "Well, good luck. The trail has practically run cold."

Winry ran up, gasping for breath. "Still no luck," she groaned. "If he really did manage to escape in the middle of the night, then there's not a very high chance someone was up to see it."

"Well, I'd ask Gavaudan, but…" Edward said, not finishing the sentence. Everyone knew what was at the end of it, though.

Mustang turned around. "Well, we might as well start looking," he stated. He looked at Edward. "What information have you found out so far?"

"Rusted lock," Edward replied, pointing at the lock of the cell. "Outside of that, it's impossible to tell where he went."

Alphonse felt a stab of energy and gasped, right as an earthquake started. Everyone fell to the ground, hoping the structure would hold against the fierceness of the earthquake.

It wasn't long until the earthquake ended, but it was easy to agree they were taking longer to dull down. Alphonse was about to say something, when they heard someone shout. A guard ran into the room and reported, "A mysterious figure just fled the scene."

"What way?" Mustang demanded.

"Towards the Valley of Heroes," the guard stated.

No one waited for an order. Edward, Alphonse, Winry, and Izumi were already heading out the door. Mustang and Major Armstrong followed not far behind.

The Valley of Heroes the figure may have been trying to head, but he wasn't having much success. Edward, Alphonse, and Winry chased him into – and cornered him – in The Park.

"Greed?" Edward asked, seeing the familiar Homunculi staring back at them.

Greed smirked. "Well, well, looks like you guys are alive," he said. "So, what happened to Envy and Wrath?"

"Envy's flown the coop, but what do you mean Wrath?" Alphonse demanded.

Edward had paused, like there was a memory trying to fight its way to the surface, but it wouldn't come all the way. He shook his head, saying, "We don't know anything about Wrath being here!"

Greed shrugged. "Well, I'm just pointing it out."

"Wait, does that mean you know who else would have shown up?" Winry asked.

Greed nodded. "There's you three, the Colonel, the Major, Envy, Wrath, and myself."

"And you showed up right after an earthquake," Alphonse muttered.

Edward nodded. "It's a safe assumption that the earthquakes have something to do with what's going on. But how can they be pulling us through?"

"Well, we're not going to find out just sitting around," Mustang claimed, joining the group. "The big question right now is if you're willing to help us."

"I've already explained this once," Greed replied. "I don't help others; I have minions to do that for me."

"Well, you're going to have a tough time getting out of the city," Edward retorted. "There are guards and other explorers from here to any of the exits, and there's only one that'll actually lead you out of the city."

Alphonse had to resist a sigh, since he knew that there were more than one exit, but they all lead out of Stormwind, most of them just led to the other cities.

"Well, if you're not planning to come with us in peace," Mustang stated. He flipped his hand upwards and snapped his fingers. Fire appeared and flew at Greed.

Greed barely managed to dodge. "What's that for?" Greed shouted.

Alphonse sighed. "Let's just cut to the chase. You've only got one life here. We know that from what happened with Envy." He looked at Mustang, saying, "You're also dealing with three ranged and a melee. I don't think the odds are very much in your favor."

"Who're you calling a melee?" Edward growled, obviously thinking it had something to do with his height.

"Melee is a close-ranged fighter, brother," Alphonse explained.

Greed stated, "Well, I'm still not going to help you guys. But if you're willing to become my minions, I might."

"Not a chance," Mustang replied. He snapped his fingers again, managing to hit Greed's arm.

Greed fell to the ground, but laughed all the same. He cast some sort of spell and the fire was gone.

"He's a paladin," Winry said.

Edward smiled. "Well, do we have orders to take him to King Wrynn?"

"Not that I'm aware," Mustang replied.

"Then why don't we pay him a surprise visit," Edward stated, pulling out his sword. "With this guy in tow. Maybe we can get something out of him."

"You're going to have to try better than that!" Greed shouted. He flung himself at Edward, and felt something hit his side. He watched as ice grew there, looking at Winry. There was a Water Elemental sitting next to her, and both were attacking Greed. Mustang had already flung out another fire attack, while Alphonse started whispering in demonic. He shot a Shadow Bolt at Greed.

Edward walked up to the immobile Homunculi, asking, "Well, you going to come with us?"

Greed tried hitting Edward with an attack, but felt he was reacting slower than before. He looked up at Edward, but they had already started binding him.

Brianha and Gavaudan chose this moment to run up, right as another earthquake started. All of them collapsed to the ground, waiting for it to end.

"How's the Cult going?" Edward growled once it had finished.

Brianha sighed. "No luck," she answered. "We've been reassigned to help you guys with finding the druid. Looks like you guys found a paladin, though."

"He showed up during the last earthquake," Alphonse explained.

Brianha nodded. "It's probably safe to assume the one that just happened brought someone over also."

"What do you mean brought someone over?" Greed asked.

"We are not required to answer your questions," Brianha hissed at him. She glared at Gavaudan when he looked like he was about to answer.

They left, heading for the Stormwind Keep. Edward still couldn't shake the feeling that a memory was trying to rise to the surface, but it was still failing.

A lot of new character introductions, from Major Armstrong to Greed. I had fun with this chapter simply for the fact Mustang showed.

Izumi Curtis and Major Armstrong – Warriors

Mustang – Mage

Greed – Paladin

This is a class guide for the chapter so you guys weren't confused about who was what. The only reason I skimmed out on Izumi and Major Armstrong is because I've never played a Warrior…I've never played a Paladin either, but…I'll still try.

R&R please!
