A/N: This is my very first fanfic so I'm a bit nervous (yeah everyone says that for their first time). Please be honest but gentle with reviews and flames... well I'll probably cry and then edit. The setting of the story is this: sometime after the end of BVS series and at first I was going to say that it didn't matter for FMA but now I have decided that it will be set in manga verse before Briggs comes into the picture but after the encounter with Father.

Vortexes and Blackholes

Chapter One

Graveyard Encounters

It was a dark cloudless night. A sliver of the moon tried its best to dispel the blackness as the stars twinkled in silent witness to the moon's failure. Still the moon was able to reflect off the cold hard rock and illuminate a portion of the inscription on the limestone. "Here lies An… Loving Moth… Born June… Died…." Was all that one could read if one were trying to read the gravestone.

The moon was seeking for ways to expand its wavering light and found three heads to reflect off as they ran through the graveyard. One was dark and green that only absorbed the light rather than reflecting it; so the moon concentrated on the other heads. One was blond, and the moon thought that the head was usually close to the ground, luckily the person the head belonged to could not hear the moon's thoughts or the moon may not have existed for much longer. The last head was metal and tall, the moon's light bounced easily off of it much to the moon's delight.

Ed, the owner of the blond head, was running hard. Al, with the metal head, ran right beside him. The sound of their running steps and Ed's breathing was interrupted only by the sounds of Envy's taunting.

"Full Metal pipsqueak, why do you think you can follow me to my new hideout?"

"Don't call me a pipsqueak!"

"Why? You can't hide from the truth!"

At Envy's reply, Edward clapped his hands and hit the ground with them. Suddenly….

"Patrolling, Patrolling, Patrolling… sigh"

Buffy looked around at the familiar scene of the graveyard. Well maybe not so familiar… Smack

"Why is it in France they feel the need to put humongous statues all over their graveyards?" Willow asked.

"Well maybe if you watched where you were going you wouldn't run into things." Spike replied a bit amused.

"Well, how many Vamps are supposed to be here again?" Buffy asked effectively changing the subject and avoiding another verbal sparring match between the two. She really thought they were acting like children and it was giving her a headache.

"Our slimy little informant said it was a meeting of a pretty big badie with about ten or so little henchies." Spike said followed with a, "Why did I just sound like Zander?"

"I don't know maybe you should stop hanging out with him?"

"We do not hang out! We hate each other!"

"How much do you hate each other?"

"Passionately"

"So you and Zander have a passionate feeling?"

"What the bloody hell are you talking about Willow? Never mind lets just find the guys, dust them and get the hell out of here." Spike said completely exasperated.

"Oh, there it is." Buffy said very excitedly.

She was indicating a very odd looking, though not at all odd looking to the slayer and friends, group of around 11 'men'. Most looked like the 'typical' vampires with leather jackets and jeans. However, one of them was wearing a black robe and looked… well if you ever saw your Aunt Ethel with boils on a bad hair day, you get the picture.

Said thing looked at Buffy and started to say, "Who are you?" But only got out a "Wh" as Buffy threw a wooden steak right into his heart. A big "poof" and only dust remained.

The other Vampires yelled "Slayer!" and subsequently ran.

"Great, now we're going to spend the rest of our night rounding these guys up." Spike said.

"But that's our job." Buffy replied in a clearly annoyed voice (the headache was getting bigger).

That being said the trio set out for the vampires rather depressed that they would have another completely sleepless night.

To pass the time and keep two people from fighting Buffy asked Willow which spell she was working on, to which Willow replied, "It's some kind of summoning spell, but I'm not sure how it works. I mean it's in English or a close comparison of English which is strange. And the first part is about some kind of 'Equivalent Exchange' and I have no idea what it is talking about. I am thinking that I'll give Giles a call soon if my research doesn't start to show some results."

"Does it have a pendent or anything that goes with it?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah, I've got it here and see it just has a picture of some door on it… Hey it kinda looks like it's shining……….AHHHHAHAHA!"

A/N: So how was that for a beginning? Sorry about the cliffhanger and the shortness ducks from Ed, but I figure that if you like it you will tell me to hurry up and post more, or not if you hate it. I already have the second chapter done so I will post it soon, just read and review so I know if I am making horrible mistakes )
