The other three simply where gaping in awe at what Envy was holding. Link looked the most baffled. What he was searching for all along was right in front of him, and he looked like fate just smacked him cold in the face. Alphonse turned to Link wondering what was racing through his head. He was about to speak but Link cut him off.

"Envy, how did you get those! Tell me now!" Envy started to sweat a little as Link was apparently very intimidating when he spoke in such a low and weak whisper. Envy gulped and spoke slowly.

"Well the other night at the inn I wanted to look for more girls so I snuck out and shape-shifted... Into your form."

Link snapped and screamed, "YOU DID WHAT!"

Envy covered his arms over his head and said, "Let me finish before you hurt me!"

Al leaned a little closer to Ed and said, "Link reminds me of someone when he loses his cool." Ed snorted and crossed his arms.

"Yeah right! He acts nothing like me, and I certainly don't act like that ... I really do Alphonse?" He said to Al with a worried gaze.

"Oh Niisan its nothing bad. It's just you," He said with a small chuckle. Envy sighed a relief and started to continue his story.

"Someone came up to me. They must have thought I was you because they just threw these into my arms." Link's eyes expanded in shock and turned to Envy.

"Did you see what they looked like?" Envy folded his arms and began to think

"Yeah it was a man who was heavily bandaged on most ofhis body. They just threw the medallions into my arms and ran off saying 'It all depends on you now, Link... The Hero of Time." Link looked toward the rising sun over Lake Hylia and said only one word 'Sheik'. Ed and Al looked at each other and shrugged. Ed walked forward and shook Link from the daze he was in.

"Hey! We have what you were looking for now. Shouldn't we go to wherever we are supposed to go now?" Link shook his head and withdrew the map from his satchel under his shield and he pointed to a small area on it.

"Here is where we are headed the market of the Hyrule center town." Edward rolled his eyes.

"Sounds entertaining"

As Link whistled for his horse Epona, the brilliant mare of crimson red ran to his side. He then lifted himself into her saddle and turned to Envy. Envy was turning into the green dragon he was before. Al had to help Ed on, seeing as he was so short and all, Envy's back. When Al climbed on Link could have sworn that he saw Envy grit his teeth in pain from the weight of the armor that was Alphonse Elric. He choked back a laugh and pretended to cough. He thought he broke a rib from trying not to laugh out loud at the other three. He pointed to the once lively Hyrule Castle Town market, which was now the desiccated black ruins of a ghost town.

"That is where we are headed," Link said.Ed gave a surprising, scared gulp but shook off the fear before Link could notice.

"Well lets get a move on!" With it turning late into evening and night fast approaching Link (Thankfully to an exhausted Envy) said they could rest for a few minutes and eat before continuing on to the castle. Link made some kind of Hylian dish. It looked like beef stew. Edward apparently didn't care what it was or where it came from as he scarped the whole thing in one gulp, not wasting anytime to enjoy it. Link started to laugh uncontrollably as Ed pushed on side of the stew to one part of his face in a childish manner. Link didn't notice that, since he was laughing so hard, something blue fell from his shirt pocket.

Al picked it up and asked, "Link, what is this? It looks valuable and important." Link turned a bright pink and grabbed it away from him.

"It was a gift from someone." Ed gave a smirk.

"Really? Who gave it to you?" He asked in a mock tone of voice. Link sighed and reached into his coat pocket, again, as he withdrew a picture of a younger him and a girl with short blonde hair. It looked like they were at a festival of some kind. She was pretty cute to Ed and Al. Envy was tired and asleep from the journey, so he didn't see it.

"Link, she's beautiful! Niisan, doesn't she resemble Winry-chan from back home?" Ed looked at Al as if he was crazy, even if he shaded slightly pinker than skin tone.

"Who is she, Link?" Link smiled as though he looked like he appricaited this memory more than anything, like it was the best thing that happened in his life.

"She is Princess Zelda of Hyrule." Ed's eyes went huge at this sentence. Al turned his head so fast to Link that his armor helmet hit the floor.

Both brothers shouted in unison "THE PRINCESS?" Link nodded his head, yet lowered it and looking sad.

"I haven't seen her in so long. It's been seven whole years. I have no idea where she is, if she is healthy, and well nothing of the sort." There was a movement of brick behind them as Ed transmuted his automail arm into a blade. Al readied himself in his martial arts position and Link drew his sword, all looking at the darkness for any signs of movement.

"Link, put that away before you hurt somebody." As a heavily bandaged figure walked out from the shadows, Link made Ed and Al rest at ease. He didn't have to tell Envy, who was still asleep.

"Sheik! How is it going?" Link asked.Sheik seemed rather nervous.

"Link, I don't have much time. You have to listen... You know of the legend of the sacred realm, correct?" Link nodded.

"Yes, b-"

Shiek cut him off.

"Let me finish! The chosen ones of legend said that only ones pure of heart can wield the entire triforce, and they gain the true force to govern all... But if your heart is not in balance of all three parts of Power,Wisdom and Courage the triforce will separate into those three parts. The King of Evil, Ganondorf, has the Triforce of power... Yet his dark deeds were not satisfied, he started looking for those chosen by destiny, The others who have the remaining pieces on the backs of their hands. The one who holds the "Triforce of Courage" is you Link! The other who holds the Triforce of Wisdom is the Seventh Sage, the one destined to be the leader of them all." Sheik stepped back from the group as he crossed his right hand over his left. They were all blinded by a searing light.

As their sight came back they heard a soft voice speak, "It is I, the Princess of Hyrule... Zelda."

"I'm sorry for deceiving you all in disguise, but it is the only way I could avoid the Evil King..." Link was still in awe.

"Wait! Zelda is Sheik? What in the world?" Zelda smiled at Link's lost moment. Hethen shook his head.

"Oh well. My life has been plenty strange, so this shouldn't surprise me." Zelda's smile grew bigger with each word he spoke. She looked sad all of a sudden.

"Link, I'm sorry. In order to keep myself hidden from the Evil King I had to keep lying to you. I continued to put your friends lives in danger." Al jumped at this.

"No! It's not like that!" As he shook his head and waved his arms in front of him, Ed walked forward and spoke. What he said next surprised everybody.

"Sheik kept coming to our rescue. Sheik was a really good person!" Link came close to Zelda.

"Though it's a little sad not being able to see Sheik anymore, to be able to have this adventure with you was alot of fun," Ed, Al and, now, Envy, who finally woke up, all smiled and nodded their heads. Zelda began to draw closer to Link's face, about to kiss him. The other three boys gave them some privacy. Ed and Envy's face started to turn a bright red. If Alphonse had his mortal body he was bound to have been blushing too.

Suddenly, they felt a huge blast of wind. As they all turned around, they saw Zelda held captive in a large rose crystal with Link punching it, trying to get it to break. Ed came running as fast as he could along side Al and Envy. They mysteriously froze in place as a second unknown voice spoken to them.

"Princess Zelda, you foolish traitor! I commend you for hiding from me for seven long years! If you wish to see your beloved princess again come to my castle!" Link growled in anger as he offto the castle with Ed, Al, and Envy behind trying to catch up. Ed caught up first and grabbed him around the middle, trying to stop him. Al picked up Link as he still tried to run.

"Link calm down! You wont get anywhere with that attitude, and you might not save her like this!" Link turned a hate and rage filled gaze to Edward.

"I wonder what you would do, Edward, if you saw someone so close to you being ripped away in the hands of a nut case! What if it was your Aunt Pinako? What if it was your brother after he just got his body back!" He remained yelling and his voice rising with rage as Ed kept on walking.

"What if it was the one that your brother refered to as Winry?" He must have struck a nerve, for Edward stopped dead as he turned back to Link and grabbed his collar.

"That wont happen because I wont let it!" As Ed walked to the entrance to the castle he saw there was no physical way to get in. He then turned to the others and shrugged.

"Link? Can you hear me? It is I, the Sage of Light, Rauru. We, the six wise ones, will create a bridge into the lair of the King of Evil." Edward raised an eyebrow at this and turned to Link.

"So, are they gonna hire construction workers to build this "bridge"... And we have to wait six months? My ass! Envy could just fly over... couldn't he?"

Link smiled and said, "Nope. Just give them a bit of time." Edward rolled his eyes as Envy walked over to the lava filled casam, thankful that he didn't have to fly and carry them all again. Al turned skyward and pointed up.

"Niisan, look! What is that?" Edward glanced upward as a colorful mass was striking its way down at them.

"I don't know, Aru, but it cant be good!" After a loud crash Ed looked up and saw that a rainbow bridge had formed itself to the castle entrance. All but Link were left speechless.

"Hey! What are you all waiting for? An invatation? Come on!" Link called to them, giving a small gesture.

Al was trying to walk as quietly as a suit of armor could. They were all being relatively quite when, from out of the blue, there was a loud 'MEOW!', causing them all to scream in pure utter fear. As Link turned to Alphonse with an angry gaze, Al bowed repeatedly to Link many times, signaling his apology. Al looked in his chest plate and saw that Addy wasn't there. He looked to the floor and saw the cat licking its tail, since he apparently almost crushed it. He then picked her up and petted her to calm her down. She purred happily into his hands. He then placed her inside his armor. Link signaled over to Envy as he pointed to the center cavern, which was guarded by two fierce looking staflo warriors. Envy knew Link wanted him to serve as a distraction as the rest of them sneaked in the rest of the way to find Zelda.

After several flights of stairs and battles with different traps and monsters trying to get in their way, they reached what seemed to look like the final room of the castle. All three spotted Ganondorf playing the piano with the rose colored crystal that contained Zelda was floating above. She opened her eyes and mouthed his name. The second she did her triforce on the back of her right hand began to glow. The one on the back of Link's left hand started to glow, too. Ed and Al glanced toward Ganondorf.

"The triforces are coming together once more, they are resonating. To think that they would be dwelling within you two, and now they are finally gathered here together. Courage,Wisdom and Power... These are too much for you!" With that final word Ganondorf charged at Link. The two thenbegan to battle. It would either signify the success of good and bring about new life or mean the end of the Hyrule as Link knows it.

Al saw the pink crystal vanish along with the princess. They nowcouldnt get her out.

Ed called to his brother and Envy, "Al you try to get his attention. Then I'll come up and attack him with my blade. OK? Envy you do the same. We can't let Link fight him alone... Ready?.. GO!" As Alphonse approached Ganondorf from behind and placed him in a grip lock, Envy shifted his arm into a stone pillar and smacked the evil king with it. Ganondorf didn't feel much. Charging up his energy,he waited for Ed and Link to come up from behind. Al stared in shock as the energy formed a huge dark ball in his palm. When the twowere close enough Ganondorf spun around and shot thedark ball at them. Al, Link and Ed went flying backwards.

"Pitiful," Ganondorf said, crossing his arms."I thought this was going to be fun. I'm bored to hell!" With that, he tried shooting multiple dark balls at them. Luckily, he forgot about Envy, who was preparing a wind kick. BAM! Ganondorf was sent flying across the room. Ed sliced deeply into Ganondorf's left ankle, which brought him to his knees. Link drew back his sword and cut the evil king across the chest which, causing him to cough up green blood in mass amounts.As he did hescreamed Link's name and shattered the tower roof in a blast of light.

Before they lost concience Ed whispered, "Too easy..."

When the dust cleared and Link regained conciousness he was greeted by the faces of the Elric brothers and Zelda, smiling and thrilled. They all began to cheer as Link smiled and winced in pain. He was bruised on his lower rib's as a result of the fight. Zelda stood up and looked over at the evil king's dead body.

"Ganondorf... pitiful man..." She had no time to finish her sentence as the castle shook violently. Ed looked around. trying to figuring out what was happening.

"What the hell was that!" Link sat up quickly.

"With his last breath Ganondorf is trying to crush us in the ruins of his owntower." Ed looked shocked and as white as a ghost.

"He is dead! How can he command his castle to kill us since he couldnt finish us off!" Zelda turned to Ed.

"Talk later run now!"

With them running as fast as they could Al noticed something wrong.

"Niisan, Envy is gone!" Ed turned to look over his shoulder.

"That bastard must have left when we finished fighting! If we see him and the other homonculi when we get home it's my fist to his pompous mug! I swear!" Al shook his head.

"Oh, Niisan..." The second came as they were left standing at the edge of the cliff on the ruins of the castle. Zelda gave a well deserved sigh of relief.

"It's over... It's finally over." As Zelda turned to Link, Ewdard and Alphonse she was going to say something, but she was interrupted by a loud bang that came from beneath the rubble." Zelda turned to them all.

"What was that sound?" Link glanced at Zelda.

"Stay here"

Link, Ed and Al went walking toward the center rubble where the sound seemed to be coming from. They were a few feet from it when it crashed open. Ganondorf emerged void of eye color, looking positively bland of life as he raised his right hand and the triforce of power shone forth with a blinding light. They had a new problem as the king of evil's triforce of power had run wild out of his hatred for Link and Zelda. It granted him a new body and an even greater power. The creature now known as Ganon swung it's tail blades wildly, knocking Link near the fire ring. His sword was tossed next to Zelda, and unreachable by anyone in the fire ring.

Al came running toward the unconcoiuous Link, shaking his body as the behemoth of the Evil King Ganon approached closer to them.Ganon was blocked by a twenty foot alchemic wall from Edward on the other side of the courtyard.Ed gave his cocky grin and a thumbs up to his younger brother.

"Beat that!" Edward failed to noticed the creature rising up from behind him. It caught him clean in the chest with it's tail blade, and with a massive show of blood Edward was knocked off the platform and fell behind a rock, yet failed to get up.

"Brother?" Al called, still holding an unconcisous Link. Zelda had her hands to her mouth at what she just witnissed.

"BROTHEEERR!" Al was giving his anwser from the atmosphere. It was the echo of the cold dead rocks which told Alphonse the anwser... His brother was dead.

Link came to after several slaps on the face from Zelda.

"HEY! HEY! Quit it!" As he noticed the tears on her face.

"Zelda, why are you crying?" She just shook her head, forbidding to say what had happened.Link then saw Al sitting alone with Addy.

"Where is Edward?..." He was dreading the anwser, but he knew it would come to him.

Zelda broke down silently as she gripped the dirt and said to Link, "Ed was cut down by Ganon, Link... In front of myself and Alphonse." Link lost all color in his face.

"He was thrown over the cliff from the force of the blow." Link stood up as his triforce piece glowed furiously in rage on his left hand.Link walked toward the flame barrier surrounding his sacred blade of evil's bane. He placed his hand in and past the flames as he withdrew it and shot a scared golden arrow of light at the face of the evil king. It paralyzed him,allowing Link to stab his swordwith all his might and strength into his face. Zelda placed her hands in the air as she called to the sages with tears pouring from her face.

"Six Sages now! Open the gate to the sacred realm and seal away the evil king from Hyrule forever!" As the screams of the king of evil faded from sight and sound, they all found themselves in the sunlight halls of the Temple of Time.

Al had never seen a more beautiful place in Ametris or anywhere for that matter. It looked like they were all walking on air as if in heaven itself. Zelda came up to Al as he was holding on to Ed's body pale of color and bleeding on the temple sky floor. Zelda smiled to Al as he looked at her.

"What are you smiling about?" She lowered her head.

"As luck would have it, Alphonse, the sages have promised to bring back your brother, forhe helped in the saving of our home." Al looked bewildered, if that was possible for a suit of armor.

"Really? I won't go home without him!" Link shook his head.

"Nope. You both will be going home together." Zelda approached Ed and had her hand glow gold. The wound closed and Ed regained color and inhaled air and his golden eyes fully opened and blinked twice.

"NIISAN!" As Al picked up Ed with so much force Ed thought he was on the verge of death from the spinning and the bone crushing of Al's hug.

"Phew! Sheesh, Alphonse! What's gotten into you? You act like someone died!" Link shook his head as if 'better not tell him.' Link turned to Ed.

"Well, Ed, this is where we say goodbye." Ed gave a sad look as Link looked into his eyes.

"What? You seem like your almost gonna miss us!" Linksaid, crossing his arms.Edward scoffed.

"Miss you? HA!" he extended his hand to Link.

"It was nice meeting you both, Link, Zelda." Link firmly shook his hand back and pulled him into a grip around his neck.

"Hey before you go, Ed, the girl you call Winry back home, keep her close. Nothing in the world is stronger than love."

Ed flushed pink and knocked off Link's hat and walked over to Zelda. She hugged Ed as he by passed pink and went directly to red.

"Goodbye, Edward." She planted a kiss on his cheek and one to Alphonse, even if he was armor.

"May you both be successful in regaining your bodies someday." Ed and Al both bowed to Zelda and Link as a blue portal opened behind them. Al turned to Ed.

"Niisan what of Equivalent Exchange?"

Link and Zelda turned to one another and shrugged. Link shook his head.

"There is nothing like that here.You will be fine, both of you. Oh! Sorry, Al, but Addy has to stay. She is a Hyrulian cat. She won't be able to exist in your world." Al rubbed her on the back and looked into her eyes and sighed.

"Goodbye, Addy. Don't forget me. Promise?"Addy gave Al a cat smile.

"Meow!" They all broke down laughing at how cute she could be. She licked the helmet as Al passed her to Link. As Ed and Al waved one last time to them and walked through the blue portal, they felt like they were falling through the sky.


-Epilouge-

As Ed came to he saw the fields of Resembool. He saw the sign of 'Rockbell Automail', and the suit of armor lying a few feet from him.

"Yo! Alphonse! Get up!" Al sat up and looked around.

"Are we home?" Ed looked around "Sure seems like it" As he finished that sentence a shrill scream came from the house that sounded like Winry had found something else tech-like to dismantle the living daylights from.

As Ed and Al looked at each other they said in unison, "Yep.. We are home." As they headed back into the house, Pinako asked them to bring out some old things from the basement that needed to be thrown away.

"OK Grams! We will get right on it!" As they headed into the basement, Ed stubbed his real foot on a metal treasure chest. He startedcursing in pain. Al deicided to open it and found a bunch old things that looked like from several hundred or so years ago, almost in tact the day they were bought or made.

"Brother! Look at all this!" Ed walked over to his side and found what he was looking at looked no more like junk to him.

"Al, that's not important. Now close the chest." Ed could sense the smugness coming from Al as he looked back at him and sawhim place something on his head.

"AL! What are you... Hey isnt this...?"

"Yep! It is, and thats not the only thing tha is familair." Al passed Ed a book that was all dusted and worn down. Ed blew the dust away. He read the title aloud to his brother.

"The Legend of Zelda..." Al was bending on the floor as he picked up an envelope and opened it. He started to read to Ed.

Dear Edward and Alphonse Elric,

-I hope it is you who is reading this letter. I was greatly honored to go on the adventure with you both and share that time with you all. Zelda misses you both and we think of you everyday. May fate bring us together again someday. I will never forget you both.

Signed,

Link The Hero Of Time.

Ed straightened the hat on his head alittle more.

"You know, Niisan," Al started."that hat kinda suits you in a way." Ed gave his cocky smile.

"You think so, huh?"

Winry came running to the basement door shouting, "Ed! Al! What is taking you so long? The new neighbor's need our help!"

Ed looked at Al in awe and said in unison "Neighbors?" Ed came up first and out into the sun as he ran down the road to the only vacant house he knew of. He heard voices as Pinako was greeting the young man and woman. Ed slid next to Pinako, and he couldnt believe who he was staring at. It was a young man maybe fairly reaching his nineteenth birthday and the girl who appeared beside him eighteen.

"Link, is that you?" the other man looked at Ed as if he had seen him before.

"Yes. Can I help you?" Edward shook his head as the tail of the green hat flopped in the wind. The young man smiled.

"Thats a nice hat, Ed," he told him as it sunk past Ed's eyes. "Even though it looks big on you." As he chuckled Ed took it off his head and passed it to him.

"I was gonna give it away. You keep it."

"You sure its OK?"

"Yeah. Seems to match you more thn me." Ed said. He smiled as he placed the hat on his head, looking like the same Link Ed and Al met
back in Hyrule.
