Part Three

"I think the military is onto us," Seiron said. "We should move somewhere else. It's too risky to stay here." "But this is my house! I can't just up and leave it!" Aldue said, a paintbrush in his hand. "When the stakes are this high, we have to make sacrifices," Seiron said. "And where do you suppose we go?" Aldue said, putting the paintbrush down. "I have friends in high place. I'll take care of it."

"Winry, why do we have to suddenly take off to Central?" Scheska asked as she packed her bag. "I have a feeling…something is going to happen," Winry said. Scheska looked up at her. "Okay."

They arrived at Central on the morning train. "So where are we going now?" Scheska asked as she grabbed her luggage from the rack. "I don't know. I guess the best thing to do would be to find Colonel Mustang," Winry said as she also grabbed her luggage fro the rack. "Haven't you heard? The Colonel has been appointed Fuhrher!" Scheska said happily. "What! Nobody told me!" Winry said angrily. At this point, Winry would have threatened Scheska with her wrench, but she hardly ever took it out anymore. Instead, she carried it silently with her. It was just another thing that reminded her of them.

Winry sighed. "It's what he's always wanted, to become Fuhrher," Winry said. "Let's go pay Fuhrher Mustang a visit."

"Major Armstrong, this is Alexandra Bennet," Mustang said. Armstrong took her hand and kissed it. "Chivalry is a trait that has been passed down in the Armstrong family for generations," he said as pink stars floated around his head and he flexed his muscles. Mustang sighed. "Eh…" Alex said as she just stood there. "Major," Mustang said, mildly annoyed. "Yes?" Armstrong said, looking down at him. "I have recorded and filed happenings that Ms. Bennet has experienced. Here they are," Mustang said, handing Armstrong a file. He took it and began skimming down the page, then suddenly stopped.

"The gate?" he said, shocked. "Yes, Ms. Bennet is uninformed on the history of the gate. Considering the circumstances, I think she has a right to know." Mustang said. Armstrong nodded. "Would you like to begin, Fuhrher Mustang?"

"Brother, what do we do?" Al said as they walked down the road. "We've been searching for hours and we're still not any closer." "It has to be around here somewhere. Maybe we're looking for the wrong thing," Ed said. "I'm guessing it's in some abandoned building-wait!" Ed said as he stopped and began digging through his bag. "Maybe this can help," he said, holding up the book that Fritz Lang had once shown him. "The book about the other world?" Al said.

"Yes, this book says that there is another world, a parallel universe, as in, our home. That world would have exact replicates of the people in this world. That's why we see so many familiar faces," Ed said. "It also says that the geography is exactly the same, but the places have different names. This may be able to help us to find the source. Wherever the gate is on that side, it would be in the exact same place on this side," Ed said. "But brother, how does that help us? Where would there be a gate at?" Al said. Ed smiled. "Lior."

Ed and Al ran down the street. "Brother, what would be the equivalent other of Lior? Where would that be?" Al asked. "I don't know. We need another map with a broader view." They ran into a local store and marched up to the counter. "We need a map!" Ed said. The clerk raised an eyebrow at them. "Could you be a little more specific?" he asked. "We need a map of Fussen and the surrounding areas," Al said. "Okay, here you are," the clerk said as he reached under the counter and brought out a map. "Thank you!" Al said as he grabbed the map and paid him. They quickly ran out of the store and sat on a nearby picnic table.

"Okay, we're here," Ed said, pointing to Fussen. "Wow, this does look exactly back home, but with different names," Al said. ""Yeah, I noticed that as soon as I got here," Ed said. "So where would Lior be?" Al asked. "Right there!" Ed said, pointing at the map. Al leaned over. "Kempten?" Al said. "Yep. That's exactly where Lior would be. I'm sure of it," Ed said. "You up for a road trip?" Al nodded.

Alex looked out the window. "I hope he hasn't moved," she said, looking at Mustang. Mustang, Alex, Hawkeye and Armstrong all sat in the private train cabin. "Ms. Bennet, you've never spoken to Edgar Aldue?" Mustang said. "No sir, not a word," she said. "This is a private mission. No one but the military has been informed. If Aldue has moved, it would have been on instinct," Mustang said.

"We can only hope he hasn't," Armstrong said. "Sir." Everyone turned to look at Hawkeye. "Yes, Lieutenant?" Mustang said. "Don't you think we should call for backup? Considering that the gate is involved." She said. "The entire military is on high alert. They are ready to go at a moment's notice. We don't want to alert the public," he said. Hawkeye nodded and looked out the window. "Sir, where are we going?" Alex asked Mustang. "Lior."

"What do you mean Fuhrher Mustang is gone?" Winry said to the man at the desk. "I'm sorry, the Fuhrher is away on business. Even if he were here, I highly doubt you would be granted a private audience with him," he said. "But I know the Fuhrher." Winry said. "Of course you do. Now, if you'll excuse me, this building is for military matters. I'm going to have to ask you to leave the premises." Winry glared at him. "Could you at least tell me where he went?" she said. "I'm sorry, that highly confidential. Good day, miss." He said. "Fine! I'll find him myself!" she yelled and stomped out, Scheska following close behind.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I'm on vacation, so I don't have any authority," Scheska said. "It's okay, I have a pretty good idea where he went," Winry said. "You do?" Scheska asked. "Lior."

Rose walked over to the small group of children. "Rose!" they cried out and quickly ran over to her. "Hello," she said, smiling. Rose had been keeping close watch on the children. It was said that some nights, a strange man would come to the main square and perform alchemy. Didn't they have enough problems to deal with since the accident? They didn't need some strange man doing alchemy in the middle of the night.

"Rose, Rose, look!" one of the older children said, holding up a picture. "I drew it! It's of the alchemy man!" she said happily. The picture depicted a man in the square, and the array was glowing pink. "Did you see this man?" Rose said. "Yeah, I came outside because I heard something last night and I saw the alchemy man!" she said. Rose just stared at the picture. Alchemy man…?

I hope you liked it! I know it's really choppy but I meant it to be like that. Don't worry soon the writing will flow better, it's supposed to be confusing and mysterious. Join my site! Edxroysanctuary.proboards82. com
