A/N - As a before thought, I just want to let you all know that I got most of my alchemy statistics and data information from Harry Potter, FMA and the Internet. But because it is a mixture, this story will not flow perfectly with everyone else's concepts of the Art of Alchemy. So please enjoy, and should I be WAY off, inform me please and give me the corrections...but also allow me some creative writing leeway. Thank you. Enjoy...
-Izumi's Private Island-
"When Flamel created... or discovered the science of alchemy, he discovered the first philosopher's stone. Seeing it's power, he destroyed it to prevent the misuse of it. The only way to create another stone is to use ..."
Izumi turned a few pages.
"Human life..."
Ed spoke up. And Izumi nodded her head. She was speaking very quietly, making it impossible for the others to hear. After a few minutes, Riza and Al were playing Tic-tac-toe in the sand. Falman and Havoc soon started a game of Go Fish using cards they Stole from Breda.
"So he figured there would be no more stone. He truly believed people would never kill another just to gain power. But in order to protect against the misuse of alchemy in the future, he created a kind of array that was drawn by using smaller arrays all across the planet. It was a long and tiring task, but he finally created it. After performing alchemy, the arrays were gone but the transmutation remained..."
Izumi flipped a few more pages, skipping the non important stuff. Roy scratched his chin.
"If he created that large of a transmutation..."
"He died. Thus equivalent exchange..."
Izumi replied as she finally found the page she was looking for. She ran her finger gently down the page until she found the line. Next to it was a sketch of an array.
"This array is the exact replica of the array Flamel drew in the direct center of all the other arrays. It was also that location where Flamel breathed his last breath..."
Izumi moved her finger along the page once more until she found the last line she needed. The very last entry in the journal.
"This protection lay dormant for many, many years. When alchemy began to be misused a decade ago in great numbers, the protection array was awoken and now is acting on the will of Flamel by slowly ridding the world of all useless objects. Starting with the very small and growing until it's not only ridding the world of just cars, trains and houses with electricity, but also ridding the world of all alchemist who use alchemy for personal and/or pointless reasons and those non-alchemist who also misuse alchemy."
Izumi then slammed the book closed, scaring everyone.
"Okay... so what are we to do?"
Armstrong asked as Izumi jumped up on the table and sat down. Just then, another bright red light flashed across the sky. But this time, the light divided into three lights and spread across Dublith. A loud scream was heard from the main land and Izumi jumped down from the table. she ran quickly to the edge of the island and looked out. The others soon followed her.
Across the lake stood a group of people standing around what used to be a house. The house was gone.
"Alphonse..."
"Yes teacher..."
Izumi jumped into the boat and Al began paddling back to shore.
"Edward, guard that book... and my island...!"
"Yes ma'am!"
On the other side, Izumi jumped from the boat and began making her way to the scene. There she met up with Sig and the other military officers. There was a lady on her knees crying into her hands looking at the spot her house once stood. Izumi approached the lady and belt down next to her.
"Emily... what happened?"
"I... I don't know... One minute my house was here... and the next... it's gone. Oh Izumi what is going on? First it's Joanna's birdhouse, now my house?"
Izumi placed her hand on the lady's back.
"Emily... where is Suzy? And Joey?"
The lady's head then bolted up right in shock and stared.
"Oh god... they were napping in the house."
At this the lady collapsed into a fit of tears. Izumi's eyes widened. She stood up and walked over to the location where the house once sat. She stared at the ground in shock. This was getting out of hand. When it was just small objects, it wasn't all that bad, she had time to think. But now, children are disappearing. Children who called her teacher and looked up to her to fix things like toys and help rescue cats.
Behind her, the military came running up and stared into the open space. Not a trace of the house was left. Izumi turned to Al and told him to summon Ed and the book. Al nodded and ran off. Izumi then turned around to face Roy. She pointed to him and then pointed outside of the crowd. They then met along side of the lake, the boat with al and Ed slowly coming across behind them.
"This is getting worse. As much as I dispise the likes of you. I know we need to work together."
"But what are we suppose to do?"
Izumi thought for a moment as Ed and Al ran up to her. Ed had the book in his hand. Izumi took the book and used Ed's arms as a book holder as she began flipping through the pages. She came back to the page of the array and began to reread. She then looked back at Roy who now had Armstrong and Riza standing behind him.
"We need to recreate Flamel's array and cancel out his protection array."
Please review. No FLAMES (Thats Roy's job only). Please look in my profile oo0AnimeChild0oo for all my other stories. And again, thanks for reading.
