Thanks for giving me a new idea Bob about the FMA X Attack on Titan CROSSOVER, I'll publish it separately since it's a crossover but it will still be a "one shot" from this collection! :) I promise to write it as soon as I can (haven't watched AOT in ages...have to rewatch it so I know how to write hilarious scenes between clean freak Levi and doorphobia man and messy eater Ling ^^)
ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:
Lily: haha no problem, good luck with school! I understand you completely! .
Bob: Read the text above the 'Answers to Reviews'! And one little thing, can the reason for how they're sent there be a "distortion / mistake in a alchemical formula" the Elrics are testing out after they meet up at the Rockbells after their adventures to the West and East or should I come up with something else? Should they come in AOT at a specific event or...? For example, right in the middle of battle when the titans are attacking or something? I've written a funny but small paragraph depicting Greed and the whole army (I can write it in my next reply if you want). Oh! And should Ed be able to use alchemy in this one but still be as old as he is at the end of Brotherhood? :) Sorry for all these questions, just want to know how to write it out :3
GrumpyCatWriter101: *_* AWW! (hugs you) Thanks so much! This is seriously a huge compliment for an author! Haha Sorry for the random hug, I never would have thought that my OC (Lena) would be so well liked by my readers /^_^/ Sure thing I can write something with Greed X Lena, I actually have half a chapter sitting on my Word doc about them, I just need to flesh it out more :3
Panic: haha Of course I do! I look forward to each one but I'm really giddy about the ones where I know 'Oh yeah! I'll ge to read what I should improve /what readers liked/ didn't like...etc. Reviews are pretty important to writers, since we can decide where our story can go from there and what our readers want. I have a few stories stagnating (which is the worst thing that can happen .) because of lack of reviews and writers block :/ Really, thanks :) haha and thanks for the compliment, I'm glad my stories do have some impact on readers ;) O.o Really? To be honest, I've written it while I was sitting in the bus (yeah...I just laughed at this sentence lol) and I thought it was "meh" from the quality ^^ Good to know it's not all that bad. Ah really? Will do! I'll rewrite it so it's clearer to who's talking, thanks for the tipp! ;) Don't worry, that will come right after I publish two chapters I've already written beforehand. :3
OtakuGirl: (smirks) You just read my mind girl ;)
INFO ON CHAPTER:
2003 characters: will be either referred to directly by "2003 Roy" for example or "Roy", using only first names.
2009 characters: "2009 Roy", "Roy from the Brotherhood series" or "Mustang" (using mostly last names here for 2009 characters).
2003 meets 2009
"Who the hell are you?" Lust's eyebrow nearly shot up to her hairline when she stared the other woman down.
"Pardon me dear, but I think I should be asking who you are?" 2003 Sloth passed a emotionless look over the other woman.
Sloth from the Brotherhood series stared dumbly at the beautiful woman, who looked at him, no apparent emotion displayed on her pretty features.
"Don't tell me I look like this six years later?" she covered her mouth, staring at Sloth's large size and bulging muscles.
Lust rested a arm against Sloth's reassuringly, hand on her hip, eyes narrowed, "Tch, and what do you mean with that? This look suits him far better than the likes of you," she stared at Sloth's modest chest.
Sloth narrowed her eyes slightly before Lust from the 2003 series stepped up, "I dated Scar's brother," she smirked evilly.
Lust smirked back, "I dated a hundred men and Havoc and I nearly killed Mustang," she licked her lips and Mustang, who was a few feet away from the Homunculi, shivered and scratched at his neck uncomfortably.
2003 Lust frowned, crossing her arms her gaze softening, "Don't you desire to be human? To live a free life? Away from your siblings and our controlling Father?"
Brotherhood Lust snorted, "Wretched fool, what could I possibly gain by becoming a weak little human? Humans are doomed to repeat their mistakes and seldom learning from them, I shall not suffer the same fate," she smirked and 2003 Lust frowned.
Two palm trees stared each-other down, "Alright...what sort of sick joke is this? My hair isn't that green and thin!" Brotherhood Envy pointed at his older counterpart.
2003 Envy snorted, "My true form is far more attractive than this piece of shit,"
"I dare you to say that again, bastard," Envy's form morphed into the green monster he was known for, preparing to clash with his counterpart.
"...Food?" Sloth asked the woman, staring down at her emptily, she looked around but found him to be speaking to her.
"...You're hungry? I don't have anything on me but this..." she offered him an apple and he gently took it from her, both of their expressions empty as they looked at each-other.
"I heard you could...turn into...water?" Sloth stared at her and she smirked for the first time, he grinned slightly, eyes empty but there was something in that lazy grin...
"Oh boy...this won't be good," Mustang scratched at the back of his neck, looking at seemingly his twin, who was leaning coolly against a wall that just magically appeared from somewhere.
"So...you're me? From...the year 2003?" he blinked.
"I suppose so," Roy's hands were in his pockets, gaze haunted, "I killed Pride...did you?"
Mustang blinked rapidly, looking on the other side where the Homunculi were, staring at the dark shadow child in wonder, "...You killed Pride?"
Roy nodded seriously, "He may have been a old man whose swordsmanship surpassed that of any I've seen but..."
Mustang scratched at his messy black hair, not understanding anything, since when could Pride sword fight?! Since when was he a old man?! A vision of Bradley appeared in his mind instead. He shivered.
"This is a surprise," Brotherhood Pride muttered to his Bradley counterpart.
The 2003 Pride, in Bradley's body, smirked, "I see, so in your world, I'm...a child?" he snorted, "How the mighty have fallen..." he snickered.
Brotherhood Pride smirked evilly, shadows danced beneath his feet, soft tendrils of darkness turning into razor sharp tentacles, teeth bared threateningly with eyes the color of blood, Pride licked his lips, "Could you repeat that? I'm afraid I didn't hear you..." he smirked.
King Bradley, or Wrath, from Brotherhood watched the spectacle with mild amusement, shaking his head. He desperately tried to ignore the weird little kid in leather getup with wild hair that kept trying to tell him that...that child was him, Wrath. Oh no, Bradley won't believe it. No...no way he was some wild little kid Homunculus in that 2003 series...no, just no.
"Uh..." Edward Elric scratched at his head, confused, "Hey Win? What...why am I seeing double?" he looked back and forth between himself and his...twin or...whatever!
"Hey...since when did I grow?" Ed from the 2003 series blinked, "I'm not complaining but..." Brotherhood Ed growled, waving his fist at the other man, "Hey! Stop making comments about my height! Why the hell are you still a pipsqueak anyway?!"
Both Ed's face palmed, realizing that, no matter what year they were from, they just called themselves pipsqueak.
"Oh Ed..." both Winry's sighed, shaking their heads.
"Um...hello," Alphonse Elric greeted kindly, looking at his 2003 counterpart.
"Hi..." Alphonse replied back, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
"W-WHAT?!" both Al's looked to their right, they saw brotherhood Edward attempting to strangle 2003 Ed, who tried to pry the older male off, "YOU USED YOUR BODY AS A TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE?! YOU'RE SAYING THAT SHORTY ENVY KILLED YOU?!"
"HEY! I HEARD THAT ERLIC!" brotherhood Envy growled, eyes glowing a threatening red but Ed paid him no mind.
"H-hey now wait! I had to! I had no other choice!" 2003 Ed tried to reason, but 2009 Edward didn't try to listen.
"Wait a second, what the hell happened on the Promised Day? What happened with Hohenheim and the rest? What happened to Greed?" he shook him by the collar of his shirt.
A dark look crossed 2003 Edward's face, "...I...I killed Greed...he helped me figure out how Homunculi can be killed...by destroying their remains so they were unable to regenerate again." He bit his lip, eyes glistening, "He helped me...and I...I killed him..." suddenly a dark, angry look crossed his young features, "What do you mean what happened to Hohenheim? I hope I never see that bastard again! He betrayed mom! With some woman named 'Dante'!" he growled, teeth bared and eyes furious.
Brotherhood Ed's eyes widened in shock, "The hell?! That can't be! I know the bearded bastard hasn't done much right in his measly life but he never betrayed mom! That's about one of few things he did right!" Ed could swear he heard a whimper from somewhere... "Besides...who's Dante?" Elric rose an eyebrow.
2003 Edward sighed.
"Wait...but you still work as a mechanic right?" Brotherhood Winry looked at her counterpart, with the other nodding in confirmation, "Oh thank god," brotherhood Winry sighed in relief.
The two Greed's looked at each-other from head to toe. Brotherhood Greed smirked, "...I like your style," he grinned.
2003 lifted his sunglasses up, lifting an eyebrow skeptically, "...I like your style too but...since when am I Xingese?" he blinked perplexedly at Greedling, who just crossed his arms and grinned.
Ling piped in, "Hey, hey, hey! I sure hope you don't have anything against my country!" Greed took control over his body again, silencing the prince.
He looked at his counterpart, "Heh...sorry...he does that sometimes to annoy me," it looked like he was arguing with himself.
2003 Greed blinked, running a hand down his face, "Aw hell...did I get multiple personality disorder in the afterlife or what?" he stared at the bickering Greedling duo.
"...Eat?" Brotherhood Gluttony stared up at what was supposed to be his 2003 counterpart but, instead of his normal round form, took on the form of a impossibly large, very gluttonous, very dangerous white multiheaded...monster.
"Lust...why am I...chained?" he pointed to the white struggling monster that snapped at him with his teeth.
Brotherhood Lust sighed, "What I heard from my counterpart is...well...basically somebody manipulated your stone and converted you to...this state," she stared at the ravenous Gluttony from 2003 with narrowed eyes, seeing how saliva was dripping down his massive teeth, jaws snapping at everything that moved.
"Gluttony...bad?" Brotherhood Gluttony inquired, white beady eyes blinking, thumb stuck between his lips.
"...Yes Gluttony...bad," Lust nodded, staring up at the large mass of moving heads and snapping jaws.
"I think we should write a list," Brotherhood Ed suggested, staring at all his friends and their 2003 counterparts incredulously.
2003 Ed nodded absentmindedly, "Yeah...let's start from the year 2003..."
"Gotcha..." Brotherhood Ed swallowed, readjusting his collar.
Again...a pretty short chapter, I admit I sort of didn't really have much inspiration for how that meeting could go out, I may flesh it out later... ( sweat drop)
