Alphonse Elric dreams were haunted of memories of the past and memories that seemed like nightmares; they were dreams of him and his brother's fight against the Homunculi and the search for the Philosopher's Stone and all they had faced through hell and back and now they were separated across a "Gate".

"Brother, brother, where are you and why can't I find you?" Al thought as he dreamed, but his dreams were interrupted by the sound of the conductor's voice.

"All passengers for East Command Center please gather your things and prepare to depart soon for we are approaching the station," shouted out the conductor.

"This is my stop," Al thought out loud as he gathered his things from the overhead compartment as he moved to the doorway to get off as the train came into the station.

East Command Center was not too far from the station and as he got out of the station he saw a few friendly faces that he remembered from the last visit to the Headquarters, but the moment he walked towards him, an awkward silence of darkness fell over him as he sensed someone in the crowd watching him, but he shook it off as nothing.

"I know you know that I am back Alphonse Elric, I shall defeat you only after I found your pathetic Fullmetal brother and take back my vengeance on you and all members of the Military that brought about my end."

Roy Mustang had dozed off during his trip to Risembool and as his mind drifted, his mind was filled with images of the Ishbal Massacre that he had been involved in and the terrifying things he had seen in that war and the many lives he had destroyed in that bloody massacre and it would live forever with him. The images then changed to images of the past years of dealing with the Elrics' and the things that had happened with the search for the Stone. Memories flooded back like water rushing from a dam. The memories that soon plagued his mind were of finding that the Fuhrer was not as whom he seemed to be, but those memories were plagued by a vision that would haunt him.

"Mustang, you must find the brothers and tell them of the enemy that is returning to bring forth their end and the end of the Military. The government shall crumble without a sense of authority to rule in place of the once proud Fuhrer, find the brothers and warn them of this ending."

Mustang slept through the rest of the trip until the train whistle awoke him as the train pulled into the station at Risembool and as he gathered his things, his hand brushed against the gloves that he had once been proud to wear as the Flame Alchemist. His mind rushed to the battle against Ed in front of the Fuhrer and the other members of the Military to prove to Ed that he was the better alchemist.

"That was in the past and this is the future, but what did the vision mean about warning the Elrics' about an enemy from the past coming back?" Mustang pondered as he walked down the aisle and into the station.

"Well, well, if it isn't the once proud Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist of the Military," said a familiar voice.

"Never thought I be back here so soon," Mustang replied as he turned to face the radiant beauty of Winry Rockbell and the aging Pinako Rockbell.

"The witty charm of the Military, oh how I don't miss it," snickered Pinako.

"Grandma," Winry said as she blushed, "so Colonel, what brings you back here?"

"I came to see if you have heard from the Elric brothers since the fight weeks ago?"
"Alphonse showed up here, but we haven't been able to find Edward," Winry replied.

"Alphonse was here, but he headed to the East Headquarters to find out if anyone knew about the whereabouts Edward, but that was about five days ago," Pinako added.

"Damn, I was hoping to speak to them both because our Headquarters is going nuts and we have just recently found some documents that sadly departed Colonel Hughes found that could have brought down the government and there were some other secrets that were hidden among them that one of the higher ups had been working with someone within the inner borders of Ishbal to create the Philosopher's Stone. The secrets that we are still revealing have been put into code that has been cracked to reveal that one of the beings of the past will return for the Elrics'. That is why I came to find them."
Winry and Pinako were shocked at what the Colonel had told them, but all they had heard was as confusing to them as it had been for Mustang when he had found the document he and Shesca, the former library of the 1st Branch of the Central Library, had decoded all the words in the documents. Silence was the enemy of the moment as Winry, Pinako, and Mustang made back to the Rockbell's home to talk more about Mustang had found.

"Edward, are you awake?" Hohenheim asked as he shook Ed from his sleep that he had fallen into after falling to floor after meeting Alphonse Hiedrich.

"Professor, why did he faint like he did when you mentioned my name?" Alphonse asked as he stood by his Professor's side as Hohenheim placed a damp compress on his son's forehead.

"My other son is named Alphonse and Edward is still facing the shock of being here in this time without his power of alchemy or his younger brother. Those two went through hell together after they failed to bring my wife back through a human transmutation and facing scrutiny for being involved with the Military."
"Wow, this is a big culture shock even though alchemy doesn't exist here, only rocketry and science, but even that is becoming a hard thing to hide with Hitler wanting scientists to help him in wiping out what he calls "unworthy" people."
Ed stirred in his sleep as his mind tossed over images of what he had faced in his fight with Envy that sent him into this world and the images soon blanked to a time in the future where he saw those he knew laying dead in the street, but the image that frightened him was his brother, standing and facing against a mystery figure and then as he stood frozen in fear, he saw his brother fighting a never ending battle that would end in one man's death. His mind soon came back to him as he sat up quickly in the bed in a cold sweat, but his mind soon became a dizzy storm for he knew he had sat up to quickly.

"Huh, what happened to me?" Ed asked as he looked around the room as he almost fell off the bed.

"Edward, calm down and be careful. You have been a sleep for the past three days and you had a high fever, but now you are back to reality, or what seems like it," Hohenheim replied as he helped Ed to the dresser in the room where a mirror stood with a fresh pile of clothes.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't how to explain it Ed, but I think Alphonse and I should leave you to get into some fresh clothes and out of the clothes you have on now and we shall see you downstairs because we have much to discuss if you are going to be here for awhile until we can find a way to return you to your own time."
All of this was still new to Ed, but the young man that his father referred to as Alphonse Hiedrich seemed to resemble Al in some weird way, but he was not the same as Al and would never be like Al, but for now, he was the only real kid, maybe his own age that he could talk to about and hopefully the only way to get home.

"Maybe this time era isn't so bad, but what did my dad mean about that 'we have something we need to talk about?" Ed thought as he finished getting dressed as he made his way down the stairs and into the parlor where Alphonse and Hohenheim stood over a set of blueprints.

"Oh, Ed, I didn't hear you come down. Come over, I want to show you something that Alphonse and I have been working on," Hohenheim said as he motioned for him to come to the table, "Alphonse and I have been working on a model rocket that could improve some of the countries chances of stopping this war and it may even be your chance to get home, but there are its glitches and the chances of failure. In your situation, just building it and launching you in it seems easy enough, but getting to your own time era is not as easy. I'm sorry, but your chances are pretty slim, but if there was a chance I would help you."

"All and all Edward, unless you are able to open the gate that brought you into our world, that would be your easiest and probably only way home because all scientists have dreamed about time travel, but if you were start talking about alchemy and all of what pertains to it, you need to keep it under wraps."

"That's fine, but what do these blueprints mean to me and what do they pertain to my current problem?"
"These rocket that we have drawn out on these blueprints maybe the way to get you home, but we are limited on our parts and time along with money and there is the fear of getting caught by Hitler's secret police and being turned in."

Ed could see the problem in the current situation that his father and Alphonse were facing, but the mention of a possible chance of getting home stirred his curiosity and his chance to help his father and his father's student create the machine.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Ed asked with a renewed sense of enthusiasm in his voice.

"What do you mean?" Hohenheim and Alphonse asked in succession.

"What's the worse that could happen?"

"There is the chance of getting caught," Alphonse started to say.

"And we are limited on time and parts with constant bombings on the outskirts of the city," Hohenheim said.

"And, what else could be the problem?" Ed asked.

"There is no way you will get the plane off the ground because we there is no funding," said a voice as the person rounded the corner and removed a pair of dark sunglasses.

"Oh, I didn't know you were there," Hohenheim said as he started to pack up the blueprints and handed them to Alphonse as he headed out of the parlor and back to the study with blueprints.

"Who are you and what do you mean that there isn't any funding for my father's project?" Ed asked as the eyes of the man became clear as the sunglasses moved further down the mystery visitor's face.

"Do you not remember, Fullmetal Alchemist?" asked the voice.

"NO, it can't be, Al and I defeated all of you and Envy has been sealed away and he is the reason I am here in this world!"
"You may think that, but when you defeated me, I ended up in this world as well without a memory, but I met your father and I have been working with him by funding him the money for his project."
"Who are you?" Ed asked with a fiery passion as he stood in the parlor and stared into the face of a man that he had once defeated and was now here in this time with him, an enemy that he wished to never face once more.
"You know him Ed?" Hohenheim asked as he studied his son's face.
"Your son and I know each other very well in deed Hohenheim, we do."
"Ed, you know, don't you?"

"I think I will answer that question, I am the Homunculi member once known as Greed; welcome to 1941 Edward Elric!"
