Jurai Powered Alchemist Sailor Scout
Chapter one: The Homunculi Finally Beaten

Achika

Ed, Al, Winry, Russell, Fletcher, and I were currently locked in battle with the final Homunculus: Envy. You see, Homunculi aren't immortal. They just have a bunch of lives, weird as that sounds, so the trick is to kill them a whole bunch of times until they don't have any more.

My weapon of choice: the Katana that was left on the doorstep with me shortly after I was born. Winry's weapon of choice: the dreaded Wrench of Doom. Ed's weapon of choice: his Automail blade. Al's weapon of choice: his armored fists and circle-less Alchemy. Russell's weapon of choice: his plant based Alchemy and various transmuted weapons. Fletcher's weapon of choice: again, plant based Alchemy, but also Alchemy enhanced fists.

Yeah, Al could do circle-less Alchemy now. I'm not sure how, but it might have had something to do with the last trip to the Gate of Truth, in which Al saw the same things Ed and I did when we originally were pulled in there after trying to bring Mom back to life.

I closed my eyes for a brief moment and allowed the Jurai energy to flow through my sword. In case you're wondering, Jurai is a power from another world. I don't know exactly what it is, but all I know is that using it can be dangerous. Gathering it and using it isn't the problem. It's dispelling it that's the real problem. I guess dispelling Jurai energy uses up life force or something. My grandmother told me something like that when she first began my lessons in my dreams, but the problem was, I was only six at the time and that wasn't long before we tried to bring Mom back to life, so the exact details of her explanation were kind of lost to time and the trauma that followed our failed transmutation (granted, we did create Homunculus, but we didn't actually bring Mom back to life, which was what we originally intended to do, so I considered it an epic failure— I wasn't really sure how Ed and Al thought about it).

After what seemed like forever, Ed finally managed to get a lucky blow in on him.

That slowed him down long enough for me to slit his throat, praying that this was his last life. He dropped to the ground and didn't get up again. I held my breath, and finally, when it became evident after nearly a minute that he wasn't getting back up ever again, I cheered.

"We did it!" I shouted. "We finally beat him! Now all we have to do is restore your body to normal Al. And then, well who knows what we can do?"

However, all of us including Winry were then pulled into the Gate of Truth.

Again, we were shown the same things we saw when Ed and I were originally pulled into the Gate, and then we came to the Gate itself.

"We meet again, alchemists." It boomed. "I have one more task for you before I allow you your original limbs back. However, for this task, I will grant the younger Elric brother most of his body back. But know this, alchemists: I will keep his limbs."

"What is this task, Gate-sama?" I asked. I figured that since it held the key to us getting our limbs back, the least I could do was be polite. A scene flashed before my eyes: a group of girls about my age maybe a year or so older fighting against a plant monster thing and losing, badly.

I could think of several ways to beat the thing, most involving alchemy, Jurai energy, my Katana which my grandmother told me was crafted especially to channel Jurai energy, or all three.

"If you want your limbs back, go to that dimension and help those girls fight the plant monster. While you're at it, I want you to free Fiorie from Kessinian's control."

I blinked. "Kessinian?"

"An evil flower. Yes Edward, an evil flower." It added at Ed's skeptical look. "In that universe, sentient flowers that suck energy exist, and only the powers of the Sailor Scouts can defeat them. Luckily for you, alchemy is fairly similar to the powers they use, and thus is able to defeat the monsters they fight against."

"Why send us?" Ed demanded.

"Because I have an interest in that dimension, and some of the monsters have started to find their way into this one. So far they've all been destroyed by the crossing, but I can't say for sure that that will continue to be the case. Besides, someone has to whip its defenders into shape. It hasn't occurred to them that if they just trained with their powers, they would be able to take out monsters much easier." It explained. "And who better than you Elrics and your friends? Besides, someone has to keep you from going looking for trouble."

"Hey!" Ed objected. "I don't go looking for trouble!"

I gave him a deadpan look. "Really? Then what do you call trying to bring Mom back to life?"

"And that brings us to another point." The Gate interrupted. "Should you do an exceptional job defending that world and training its primary defenders, I might be willing to give one of your parents back to you of you. However, it depends on how well you do training the other world's defenders and if you can free Fiorie from the Kessinian Blossom's grasp."

I nodded. "I accept Gate-sama." I announced. "I can't speak for my brothers or my friends and have no idea what they'll decide, but I'll do as you ask."

Ed and Al looked at eachother and seemed to come to a decision. "We'll do it." They decided.

Winry nodded. "And I'll go too."

Russell and Fletcher looked at eachother for a few minutes, seeming to have a silent conversation before Fletcher gave Russell the puppy eyes and he caved. "Fine," Russell grumbled. "Fine, Fletcher and I will go too."

I covered a snigger, wondering what it was about little brothers with puppy dog looks that made big brothers cave, if Ed and Al were any example.

If either Ed or Russell figured out what I was sniggering about, they didn't comment.

As it was, Ed did give me a sharp, annoyed look like he had a feeling he knew exactly what I was thinking, but didn't have any proof.

I just grinned and tried to look innocent.

"Excellent." The Gate said. "Are you ready, alchemists?"

I drew a breath, made sure I still had my Katana, something my birth parents apparently forged for me, and stood up straight. "I'm ready."

"Us too." Ed, Winry, and Al announced in unison.

Russell huffed and crossed his arms. "I don't see why we have to go now." He complained. However, he quickly folded when his little brother gave him another one of his puppy dog looks, again making me wonder why big brothers caved to that look particular so fast.

"Good. Do a good job alchemists." The Gate of Truth said before opening to a place that was much more developed than Amestris. "Go through and you'll be in Juuban District, Tokyo, Japan, the home of the Sailor Scouts."

Without taking even one look back, I gripped my Katana and ran through to Tokyo, thus starting my mission, a mission I promised myself I was definitely not going to fail.
