I've been writing this for a while now, and it's just been sitting in my computer. I have a lot more done but I'm going to see what kind of reviews I get for this. A lot of people make post movie fanfics, but they are always twisted to their liking and never completely following the story. This does. I will be as accurate as possible and I hope I keep everyone in character. Please R&R!

Fullmetal Alchemist 2

Uprising of the Golems

Part One

Ed walked along the dirt road, wondering where to go next.

"Brother, I'm hungry," Al said, and is if on cue, his stomach began to rumble. "I know, I know," Ed said as he checked his map. "Hey, Al, we never realized what a big advantage you had in that suit of armor, not having to eat," Ed said, smiling. Al glared at him. "Jeez, Al, it was just a joke-" suddenly he was hit with a big rock. "Hey! What the hell was that for?" Ed said as he rubbed the huge bump on the side of his head. "You deserved it," Al said as he crossed his arms, satisfied.

Ed just grumbled as he tried to flatten out the map in his hands. "Okay, I think we're almost to the German border, now if we just go this way…" Ed said, drawing a line on the paper. Al leaned over Ed and scanned the paper. "Brother, you can't read a map," Al said. "I can too!" Ed said defensively. "Well, according to this, we're in the middle of the Atlantic ocean." Ed just looked at the paper and turned red. "I thought that was the land…"

"We're never going to get out of here! It's the middle of nowhere!" Al said. "We will too, we just need to…strategize." Ed said, looking down the road in hopes for a car. "Strategize what? How to ride a cow?" Al said. Ed got a grossed out look on his face. "No way, cows are gross," Ed said as he stuck his tongue out in disgust. "I was kidding…but if no cars come along, we might have to." Al said.

Scheska stood in the hall, hearing muffled sobs through the closed door. "Winry, please come out. It's been a month…it's time to stop crying now." It really hurt Scheska to be so firm, but Winry had to stop sulking. She couldn't stay like this forever. "Winry…they're not coming back. It's time to live with it and move on." Scheska heard the crying stop. Then footsteps as Winry came over, unlocked the door and opened it. Winry had long streams of tears running down her face. "I know that! First it was Ed…and now they're both gone…I don't know what to do…" Winry just looked down at the floor and began to cry again.

Scheska hugged Winry and patted her back. "They're gone…this is the way it's going to be now. I know I could never tell you to forget them…but you have to move on."

A girl walked down the road, covered in dirt, clothes ruffled. "What do I do?" she said to herself. "I have to warn someone…but then the news will spread, everyone will know…and he'll be prepared." A car came down the road and she waved it down.

"Hey, thanks," she said as she got in. "It's no problem, where you headed?" an elderly woman asked her. "Central City," she said.

Colonel Mustang sat at his desk, moaning at all the paperwork. He felt a great guilt inside him, along with an overall feeling of pain. Fullmetal had come through the gate alive. They had all thought he was dead…knowing he was alive was a big relief, and wherever he went, it was obviously somewhat safe. Now both the Elric brothers were gone, beyond the gate, wherever the hell that took them.

Now he had tons of paperwork to fill out from the mess they caused. The people wanted to know what had happened, and the military couldn't give them a solid answer because they themselves didn't know. If they tried to tell them that a portal had opened up, exposing a world beyond the gate, and it had sent dozens of soldiers in animatronic suits and strange aircrafts through to destroy our world, the public would think they were crazy or it would cause mass panic. Probably starting another war. That's all they needed right now.

When Edward Elric had been assigned as one of his subordinates, he thought that he would be overjoyed the minute he was gone. But now, he wouldn't have been happier to see both the Elric brothers' faces. He felt a little better thinking that they were safe somewhere, in the place Fullmetal had been before he came back through the gate. He couldn't describe the growing fondness he had for the boy over the years, but know it had blossomed into something else. For some reason he felt a little uneasy about analyzing his own feelings as if in some way he was afraid of how he truly felt. But how did he feel? There was that fear again. He would think about it some other time. For now, it was paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork.

"An attack?" a military officer said mockingly at the young girl. "Yes! There is going to be an attack on Central City very soon! And eventually the world!"

"Uh huh…what was your name and age again?" The girl looked frustrated. "Alexandra Bennet! Age 15!" she said, becoming impatient. "Look, Miss, it is very foolish to say something like that, especially at a time like this. We're still cleaning up from the last time someone really tried to take over Central City. This is a place for real matters, so do not joke about things like that."

Alexandra had lost her patience. "LOOK, IF YOU ALL WANT TO DIE FINE BY ME BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE ALERTED IMEDIATELY!" Suddenly everyone's heads turned up and looked over at them. "Okay, enough of your little joke. Stop trying to cause mass panic and just keep quiet, okay?" the officer said as he escorted her out of the building. "But this is an emergency! When it happens you'll be sorr-" "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Good day, Miss," the officer said as he walked her outside and left her there." "But…" Alexandra said, standing there all alone.

"Did I hear right?" The officer turned around to see Colonel Mustang standing there. "Colonel!" the officer said, saluting. "At ease." The officer put his hand down. "Did that girl just say there was going to be an attack on Central?" Mustang said. "Uh, yes sir, but I passed it off as some kind of sick joke." The officer said. "We should take all threats seriously, especially at a time like this. I want you to inform the military to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity, but do not alert the public. I don't want any panic if it's just nothing. You are dismissed." "Yes sir!" the officer said. He saluted, turned on his heel and left. "Please let it be nothing…" Mustang whispered to himself.

Winry sat at the kitchen table staring at the cream in her coffee as it clouded the dark liquid. "Do you want to talk about it?" Scheska asked, trying to comfort her. "I…" Winry said, still staring at her coffee. "I miss them so much. We grew up together, we've been friends for all these years. After all that happened, Al got his body back and something bad had to ruin it all. And Ed was finally able to come back home, but he had to go back through the gate. Why does it have to be this way?" she said, looking at Scheska for answers.

"I believe…that fate works in mysterious ways. Maybe they need them over there more than we need him here. They are wonderful boys, they could help a lot of people." Scheska said. "Yeah…but is it selfish to want them here with me?" Winry asked. "Not at all."

"A world…beyond the gate," a man said. "A world, filled with science, rather than alchemy, with bombs powerful enough to wipe out entire cities." The man suddenly looked up from his papers. "A perfect chance to test my latest breakthrough." The man stood up and walked across the room to a door.

"This…" he said, opening the door. "Will be our chance…" He looked in to see a metal figure. "To conquer this world!"

"Damn it! The damn military is gonna get us all killed!" Alexandra said as she kicked the ground. Bypassers stared at her but then just continued walking. "And no one cares." Alexandra had been following all leads on the Elric brothers up until their unexplained disappearance. She really looked up to them, not in a stalker kind of way but in admiration. When rumor spread that they had come back, she was all over it and had witnessed it herself in Central City at the showdown with the mysterious soldiers.

She had never seen Alphonse Elric without that armor on, but it was a mystery to her how a boy that small could, or would have the need, to wear a large suit of armor like that. But they disappeared just as fast as they had come, leaving her at a loss. The world could really use them at a time like this. Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, was known for his amazing alchemic abilities. She had heard about all the things he's done. Where was he now?

Ed and Al sat in a deli eating sandwiches. They were currently watching the T.V. behind the counter.

"…And with the new camera being built to sustain in outer space a breakthrough in science has happened! Soon, we hope to be able to send people into space!" A Newsman said. "Yes, that would be something!" A female news anchor said. "Science has definitely been revolutionized…"

Ed lost interest in the broadcast and turned to Al who was gobbling down his sandwich like he hadn't eaten in days. "Jeez, Al, it's only been a few hours since you've last eaten, slow down." Ed said. "Me? You're the one who's been eating like a pig these past 6 years!" Al said defensively. "Hey! I do not eat like a pig!" Ed said back, waving his fist at him. "Heh, I'm surprised you're not taller-" Al was cut off when Ed tackled him off the barstool and they began wrestling on the ground.

"Brother! Get off me-" Ed and Al both stopped as they heard a woman scream outside. "What was that?" the waiter said. "I don't know," Ed said. "But we're going to find out," Ed said, looking at Al. Al nodded and they ran outside.

They looked down the deserted street to see a woman being attacked by someone. "Get off me!" she said as she smacked at them with her purse. Despite being hit in the face, the person continued to attack. "Don't worry! We'll help you!" Al said as they ran over. As they approached the being turned around to reveal a doll-like form. "What the…" Ed said but suddenly the figure lunged at him. He blocked it with his automail arm but there was a loud clang of metal against metal.

Ed looked down to see what he had thought was its skin tear and reveal metal. "Automail? But how…" The figure looked at him with glowing eyes and Ed noticed how they were all one color. Ed ripped his arm away and stuck a finger in its eye. The figure lunged back but made no noise as a gaping hole was left where it's eye should have been, and Ed saw clearly inside the hollow shell. "It's all metal…" Ed said. "What?" Al said but the figure quickly began to run into an alleyway and they chased after it.

"Brother, what do you mean it's all metal?" Al said as they ran after the being. "It's all metal. It's not a person, Al." Al gasped but looked ahead to see that they came to a dead end. The figure turned around and collapsed, then began convulsing violently. Suddenly there was a tearing noise. "Run!" Ed said as he grabbed Al's arm and ran out of the alleyway. As soon as they were out there was a small explosion and pieces of armor flew out of the alley into the street.

"What in the world was that?" Al said. "We've seen this before, Al," Ed said. "We have?" Al said in shock. "A soul being attached to an inanimate object, but the soul rejects it and it destroys itself," Ed says. "But there's no alchemy in this world, brother," Al said. "I know…someone has created another gate."

"Damn! I can't keep the gate open!" the man said as he failed yet another attempt to pass a soldier through the gate. "I've finally created a gate, I have the armor, the souls are easy enough to get, my calculations should be perfect! Why won't it work?"

"Maybe you just need some help, Mr. Aldue." Aldue turned around to see a woman standing in the doorway. "Who are you? How did you get in here?" Aldue said. "I am Elizabeth Seiron. But the more important question is, who are you, Edgar Aldue? You're a very mysterious man, people in town don't see you much of you these days. They're starting to get curious. You wouldn't want them snooping around here, would you?" Seiron said, walking closer. "What do you want?" Aldue said, backing against the wall. "I just want to be part of your plan. A partner. 50/50. I'm sure you're very confident in your array, but I think they may need a little tweaking. Don't you think so?" she said, waiting for an answer. "And you can do that?" Aldue said. "Oh, yes. Very much so."

Gasp! A bad guy! So how was that chapter? I will put up more IF I get more good reviews than bad. I'm impatient so probably in a day or two XD please let me know if you have suggestions!
