Ed, Al and Zero finally arrive in Central. "Hey Ed" says Zero. "Yea Zero" replies Ed. "When we see Mustang remind me to hit him" says Zero. "Whatever" replies Ed not really paying attention. As they walk towards the State office Ed remembers something. "Hey Al you go ahead I have to talk to Zero about something" says Ed. "Ok brother see you later" replies Al as he runs off to do whatever.
"Alright Zero spill it" demands Ed. "Im not gonna tell you shit about why I was late" replies Zero. "Wanna bet about that" says Ed. "If I tell you will you shut up? asks Zero. "Yea" answers Ed. "I was saying goodbye to Rose" replies Zero. "Why did you blush about that? Asks Ed. "That I will not tell you and if you ask me agian I will make you the first frozen alchemist" replies Zero. "Fine lets go see Mustang and get our next assignment" says Ed. "I bet you its another stupid one" says Zero.
–Mustang's office–
Ed and Zero walk into Mustang's office and stand in front of his desk. "Ice and Fullmetal I wasn't expecting to see you two back so soon" says Roy hiding a smirk. "Well you ass you will just have to deal with it" retorts Zero who looks pissed off. "Roy I would be careful around Zero right now he is still kinda pissed cause of what happened at Lior" says Ed. "Well anyways you two have another assignment I want both of you to.." "What already" interrupts Zero "we just got back give us a break you bastard" "sorry Ice I know but this is important now as I was saying I want both of you to investigate something" says Roy. "What is it this time? asks Ed. " there have been reports of chimeras a few towns over" answers Roy. "Ok we will go if we find them we will kill them and bring whoever made them back with us" replies Zero. "Very well I will give you sometime off when you get back.". says Roy as the two boys leave.
–Central–
Ed and Zero walk out of the State office. "wait a second" says Ed. "What? asks Zero. "Mustang didn't make a short joke" replies Ed. "So I thought you hated being called short" says Zero. Suddenly Mustang pokes his head out of his window "hey Ed I forgot something" shouts Mustang. "What now Mustang? asks Ed. "He is going to make a short joke" says Zero. "Good luck shrimp and remember chimeras like to eat people especially short ones" shouts Mustang. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL...". All of a sudden Ed falls on the ground. Zero is standing with his arm outstretched and his hand in a fist. "Ha ha nice one Zero" shouts Mustang. "Im surprised that you actually hit him" adds Mustang. "No I just wanted to shut him up" shouts Zero. "O and Mustang I hope you like you office" adds Zero throwing Ed over his shoulder and walking away. (What is he talking about) wonders Roy as he walks over to his door and tries to open it. "Damn you Zero you bastard" shouts Mustang as he finds that the lock has been frozen shut.

Zero walks up to find Al waiting for them. "Al what are you doing here? asks Zero as he sets Ed down on a bench. "Waiting for you two to show up. and why is Brother unconscious? says Al.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting and Ed is out cause I had to shut him up" replies Zero as he sits down. "Ok" says Al. "I froze Mustang's door shut" says Zero trying to hide a laugh. "That is not nice" replies Al not bother to hide a chuckle. "Yea but its funny as hell" says Zero laughing.
"Ok what hit me? asks Ed as he sits up. "Me" replies Zero calmly. "O and I froze Mustang's door shut" he adds. "Ok lets get our tickets and go" says Ed standing up. "Where are we going agian? asks Zero. "Some town called Nor" replies Ed. (AN. I know its not a town in FMA but I said it was gonna be different.) "Never heard of it o well lets go" says Zero. "Brother, Zero I bought some for us" says Al. "Thanks Al" says Ed and Zero.

Ed and Al wait for Zero to arrive. "Zero is late brother" says Al sounding worried. "I know but don't worry Al, Zero can take can of him self" says Ed. Ed and Al hear the sound of a door opening and look over to see Zero walk in. "Zero where you? shouts Ed. "Following a lead and it turned out to be a good one" replies Zero falling onto a bed. "Tell me you didn't try to take on all of the chimeras by yourself" says Ed. "Im not that stupid" says Zero "but I did find a place where they might be" he adds. "Ok lets go" replies Ed standing up.

Zero turns into the alley way with Ed and Al following him. "Ok guys we are here" says Zero looking at a trap door. "How many you think there are? asks Ed. "If I had to guess maybe 10 or 20 maybe more" replies Zero. "Great just great" says Al. "Yea an army of them" says Ed. "Come we can take these guys we are Ice and Fullmetal after all" says Zero.

"You will be fine Al" says Ed. "Quiet" whispers Zero. "What? asks Ed. "I hear something" replies Zero. "Lets kill these ones now" says Ed transmuting a spear out of the ground. "Yea good plan" says Zero transmuting two ice blades. "Here Al" says Zero tossing a blade to Al. "Thanks Zero" says Al catching the blade. Ed, Al and Zero thrust the blades into the cages killing the chimeras. When they are all done all three of them are covered in blood. "Lets get this guys before he causes more trouble" says Ed. "Yea" says Al and Zero. "There is a door over there" says Al. "I bet anything that is were our guy is" says Zero.

"What is it? asks Ed. "Im gonna make it cold enough to freeze the chimera and then all of us will attack it" says Zero as he cools the air in the next room. "Ok its frozen lets go " says Ed. "Ed Al and Zero break through the door and attack the chimera cutting it into 3 pieces. "Wh...who are you? demands a voice. "Doesn't matter" replies Zero.
