Lily: HELLO EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO CROSSING WORLDS!

Myra: YAY!

Edward: Where have you been? You left us!

Lily: *anime tears* I know, I'm sowwy!

Snowfur: *pats Lily's back* It's okay.

Arin: I still don't understand why you didn't want to do this chapter

Lily: ...I don't wanna talk about it.

Arin: She's only upset because (CENSORED) makes an appearance. Wait...why did you censor me?!

Lily: DON'T SPOIL IT!

Alphonse: Who's-

Lily: I SAID DON'T SPOIL IT! *hits the both of them*

Arin and Al: Owww...

Myra: NOO! AL-KUN!

Snowfur: Ed, the disclaimer please.

Edward: Fine. A-HGaming does NOT own Fullmetal Alchemist. If they did then they wouldn't be here right now. They'd probably be buying lots of candy or something.

Myra: *anime gasp* CANDY?!

Lily: Well then, now it's time to start the chapter!

"WE DID IT!" Lily exclaims loudly as she, accompanied by the other three, walk down to Ed and Al's room. "I wouldn't call it we. You were forcing us to watch it." Snowfur says with a sweat drop. "Well, it was worth it, wasn't it? Soul Eater is an awesome anime!" Lily says, smiling. Arin rolls her eyes. "Explosives." Translation: Riiight. Like it's better than Attack on Titan. Lily glares at her. "You only like Attack on Titan because of the horror." She says. Myra shivers. "That anime gives me the creeps." Snowfur nods. "Hah! If only you saw Akame Ga Kill." Lily says. The dispute on which anime is the creepiest continues until they make it to the room.

"Hello Lieutenant Ross, Sergeant Brosh." Snowfur says politely as they walk up to the room. "Hello there Majors." Maria Ross says as she salutes the four. Brosh sighs. "It's been ten days already and they still don't know the answer." Lily smirks. "Knowing them it probably won't be much longer until they crack it." Ross rubs the bridge of her nose. "I only hope you're right." A loud bang is heard within the room. "TO HELL WITH IT!" Edward's voice rings through the hallways. Myra shrieks and hides behind Arin. Snowfur's eyes narrow. They cracked it, she thinks. Brosh carefully opens the door and looks into the room. Papers were everywhere, and piles of decoded research notes were on the table. "Wh-What happened?" Brosh says nervously. "Did you two get into a fight?" Ross asks. Lily snorts. "Those two never get into fights." Edward sighs angrily and walks over to the door to shut it and sits back down. "Are you angry that you didn't break the code…?" Myra asks.

"We broke it." Alphonse says, sighing. "We broke the code." Brosh smiles nervously. "Really? Isn't that good news?" Ed slams his automail fist down to the floor. "Is there anything good about this?! Damn it!" he curses. "'The devil's research' he called it. You're despicable Dr. Marcoh." Ed rests his head on his hand. "Just what did you find out?" Brosh asks, leaning down to Ed. The four girls brace themselves for the horrible answer they knew was coming. "The raw materials needed for the philosopher's stone…are living humans!" Ed spats. "I probably would've been happier if I hadn't learned about this. If what it says in these documents is true, then the raw materials used to create philosopher's stones are living humans. And it will take multiple sacrifices to make just one!" The two officers just gape in horror. "I can't believe that something so inhumane was done by an organization under the military!" Brosh yells. "I can't believe it either! How awful!" Ross says. Lily laughs dryly. "Well then believe it. There are some horrible people in the military, it doesn't surprise me that this was issued." She says. "2nd Lieutenant, Sergeant, Lily, Snowfur, Arin, Myra, can you not tell anyone about this?" The four girls nod. "Our lips are sealed." Myra says, making a zipping motions along her lips. "But-!" Brosh starts. "Please act like you never heard this." Ed pleads, his bangs shielding his eyes. The two officers both nod and walk out of the room.

The four girls stay in the room with the recovering Elrics. "Why doesn't this seem to bother you." Alphonse asks after a while. "Why? That's simple. We already knew." Snowfur says. Arin casts a warning glare to her but she brushes it off. The two boys stare in shock. "And you didn't think to tell us?!" Ed yells angrily. Arin sighs. "It was for you to figure out." She says. Lily gets up and stretches. "Here, lemme tell you something that you can think on. Ever heard of Xerxes?" She asks. The boys nod. "How do you think the whole population disappeared in one night?" Ed and Al think about it for a while, and Ed gasps in pure horror. "A mass murder!" They leave it at that and walk out of the room.

~~~THE NEXT MORNIN'~~~

"Brother, go get breakfast. You need the energy." Alphonse says, looking at his brother. "I don't want anything…" Ed says, lying on the couch. He sighs. "I'm tired of this." Alphonse looks down at the floor. "Yeah…" He mutters. Ed holds his automail arm up to the ceiling. "It's like…just when we start thinking it's within our reach, it runs away from us. And this time, when I finally feel like we got a hold of it, were knocked down by what we caught." Ed laughs sadly. "Looks like God really hates those men that broke his rules. Are we going to live like this for the rest of our lives?" A few moments of silence pass. "Hey Al, there's something I always wanted to tell you, but I was too scared to say it." Al looks over at his brother. "What is it?" He asks. Ed tenses. "I-,"

"ARMSTRONG'S COMING!" Lily yells as the room door bursts open. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! HURRY-!" A tall man pushes her out of the way. "I have come, Edward Elric!" He yells, sparkling. "What a tragedy! To think that the philosopher's stone would hide such a terrible secret! It is a grave situation if this hell-like research was commuted by an organization under the military! I cannot do nothing and allow this to pass!" Armstrong yells, tears running down his face. Lily swats a few sparkles away from her face. Edward glares at the two officers; veins popping and steam coming out of his nose. He holds up a fist, shaking with anger. "I'm s-s-so sorry." Ross apologizes, sweat drops running down her face. "When a guy like that got close, we had to talk…" Brosh says, anime tears running down his face. He then looks at Edward and snaps out of his grief. "You have automail?" He asks out of curiosity. Ed and Al sweat drop. "Oh, er, during the Ishvalen war there was an accident…" Edward says and nods quickly. "Yes, yes, and we needed the philosopher's stone to restore his body." Al covers quickly. "Oh I see…it's too bad it had to turn out this way." Ross says. "Sometimes the truth can be cruel." Armstrong mutters. Something clicks in Ed's brain. "The truth…" He mutters, deep in thought. "What's wrong brother?" Al asks. "Do you remember what Dr. Marcoh said?" He asks, turning to the giant suit of armor. "Huh?" Al asks. Ed sighs. "Come on, what he said at the station; the truth within the truth." He says. Lily gasps. "That's it!" she exclaims. "There's still something else!" Ed nods. "Something in…" Al starts. "The truth." The three say together. Oh my god I just did the whole finishing each other's sentences thingy with Ed and Al IN REAL LIFE! SQUEEEE! Lily's inner fangirl yells, mentally squealing. "Y'know, it's kinda creepy how they finish each other's sentences." Brosh mutters. "Touché." Ross agrees. "HEY! I HEARD THAT!" Lily yells.

"So that's it…thanks for the help Ed." A voice says from the doorway. They all turn to see Snowfur, Arin and Myra. Lily smirks. Last night, while they were talking about their purpose in this world, they all decided to do all they could to help Ed and Al. Snowfur suggested that they help them find out about Lab 5 and go there with them. "Thanks to the info, we can determine where to look next." Snowfur says, holding up a map. They place it on the table, smoothing it out. "There are currently 3 alchemical research institutes located in central. Marcoh worked for the third one." Arin says. "That one is the most suspicious." Ross comments. "Yeah…I passed through all of them after I started working for the state. They didn't look like they were doing research all that important though." Ed comments. His eyes then narrow. "How do you know all this anyways?" He asks. The four sweat drop. "We've been doing research too, y'know." Lily says, crossing her arms. Ed gives her a look, and then seems to buy it. The four inwardly sighs. Ed then catches sight of another building. "What's in this building?" He asks, pointing to it. Lily's breath hitches. That's the one…she thinks. Snowfur glances at Lily for a second, and then refocuses on the conversation. "That used to be the fifth research institute. It's currently an unused, deserted building though." Ross says. "Due to the danger of collapsing, research was prohibited." Ed inspects the map more closely. "It's this one." He says. "How did you come to that conclusion?" Brosh asks. Snowfur silently watches the story unfold. It all goes downhill from here…She thinks. "The building next to it; it's a prison." Ed states. "What does that have to do with the philosopher's stone?" Myra asks, putting on an innocent face. "The raw materials for the philosopher's stone are human lives. The prison is where they got them." He says. "Now that I think about it, executed prisoners never returned to their families." Ross mentions. "The public is told they're killed on the gallows in the prison, but they're still alive, and were moved." She says, putting the pieces together. Ed nods. "Don't you think it's suspicious that the closest facility to the prison is the research facility?" He asks. "The inmates are the materials…" Ross murmurs, her eye twitching. "Don't give me that look; talking about this is making me feel sick too." Ed says.

"Considering this is a prison, I wonder if this means the government has been involved too." Brosh says. "We don't know if the ones involved are warden or government level though." Arin points out. "Somehow I feel like we poked our necks into something far too big…" Ross says, her eye resuming its twitching. Al sighs. "That's why we said to act like you didn't hear anything." He says. "However, this is all speculation at the moment. The nation might not have any involvement in this whole operation. The organization might have been acting independently." Armstrong adds. "True." Snowfur comments. "Who's in charge of this research organization?" Al asks, standing up. "The 'Iron-Blooded Alchemist Brigadier General Basque Gran." Armstrong says. "Then we'll try talking to Gran and-," Ed starts. "You cannot." Armstrong interrupts. "Why not?!" Ed asks. "He was murdered by Scar a couple days ago." Arin says. Armstrong nods. "Many state alchemists have been killed by Scar, even higher ranking officers. Some killed knew about the truth. Should there be any higher ranking officers involved in this besides the Brigadier General, then this will be more complicates. I will probe into this matter and inform you later." Armstrong announces and rolls up the map. "Until then the 2nd Lieutenant and the Sergeant are to keep quiet on the matter. The Elric brothers and you four girls are to stay put!" he adds. "WHAT?!" The two boys exclaim. "You were thinking of sneaking off and investigating inside, were you not?! You will NOT! Even though there may be a way to restore your bodies at that place, a child SHOULD NOT do such dangerous things!" Armstrong fumes, developing a demon-like aura. "I GET IT!" Ed yells in chibi form. "We won't do anything dangerous like that." Al nods in agreement. "Yeah! We'll just wait for your report!" Armstrong nods, convinced and leaves, followed by the two officers. "Buh bye Major!" Myra yells, making the others sweat drop.

"Like hell we will." Ed snickers as we leave. "Right. It's our own fault for performing the taboo, and we will take responsibility to get our bodies back." Snowfur says sternly. Lily clenches her fists. She was not looking forward to this. Her heart starts beating faster. Why was she scared? It wasn't like her to back down from her fears. "Lily, are you ok?" Ed asks. Her head snaps up. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine." She says, putting on a fake smile. Ed seems a little suspicious. "Alright then…we'll leave at midnight." He says and puts the plan into motion.

~~~AT DA MIDNIGHTZ~~~

The six alchemists quietly walk through Central, as they come up on their destination. "Just as I remember it…" Lily says too quietly for anyone to hear. "A guard at an abandoned building, huh?" Ed comments as they see a guard at the entrance of the lab. "Suspicious…" Arin mutters. "How do we get in?" Snowfur asks. "Make an entrance?" Myra suggests. "No, too risky. The guard might spot the light from the transmutation." Ed says. "So that only leaves…"

Ed puts one foot on Al's hand as he jumps over the wall, followed by Lily, Snowfur, Arin and Myra. Ed lets down some wire so Alphonse can climb up. "I don't want to admit it, but at times like these I'm glad these aren't my natural limbs." Ed says. "Me too." Myra says. "Yeah, you guys do, but what about us?" Snowfur asks. "Ok, I get the others but why you? You have automail!" Ed says. "It's my ARM you idiot." Snowfur says. Ed sweat drops. "We can catch you." Al suggests. "I'm fine with that." Lily says. "'Splosives." Arin mutters. Translation: Whatever… Al jumps down followed by Ed and Myra. Snowfur jumps down to be caught by Al, followed by Arin. Lily jumps down and Ed catches her. "That was fun! It felt like skydiving!" Lily exclaims. "You haven't even been skydiving…" Snowfur says, sweat dropping. Meanwhile, Ed was exploring the area. He walks up to a tightly sealed gate. "The entrance is sealed. Damn…" Edward mutters. Snowfur spots a grate and pries it open. "We can use this. It looks like it goes to the end." She says. "I'll go first!" Lily volunteers and hauls herself in. "Lily!" Snowfur exclaims, running after her. She sighs. "I'm going too then." Ed climbs in after them. "Al, you wait here, 'k?" he says, looking back. "Why not?" Al asks. "Because you're too big," Ed replies. Al sulks in an emo corner. "I didn't ask to be this big…" he mutters, and Myra giggles.

"Don't worry, Al-kun! I'll stay here with you!" Myra says, patting him on the back with a wide grin. Al immediately lightens up. "Really?" he asks. Myra nods happily. Lily sweat drops. Al-kun? "Arin, you stay back too, just in case Myra gets into trouble like she always does," Snowfur says, looking back. Arin mocks a salute. "'Splosives." She says dryly. Translation: Yes sir… "Alright then, it's settled." Ed says. "We'll be back soon," Myra smiles and waves happily. "Have fun!" she yells as the other three start crawling into the air vent.

"It's really cramped in here." Ed mutters, as they move forward. The two girls stay quiet, as they excitedly wait for one of the funniest moments in FMA. "A normal sized person might not fit in here. I'm sure glad I have a body small enough…" he trails off, realizing what he just said. "I JUST CALLED MYSELF A TINY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!" he yells in anger. The other two burst out laughing. "SHUT UP!" Ed screeches. "I'm…sorry but…you…hahahaha!" Lily breaks off into uncontrollable laughter. After a few moments of laughter, the two calm down enough to keep moving.

"Looks like there's two ways to go down," Lily observes, noticing that it's different from the anime. Snowfur seems to notice this too, and turns to Ed. "You head down the first one. Lily and I will go down the second." She says, and Ed raises an eyebrow. "You sure you two will be alright?" he asks. Snowfur nods. "We'll be fine, now get going." She says as Ed nods. He jumps down the opening, and starts observing the room. The two girls keep moving to the next opening in the vent. "This is odd," Lily says, looking down at the other room. "It wasn't like this is the anime." She mutters. Snowfur nods. "But at least nothing is changing on Ed or Al's part, which should keep the line of events on track." She says. Lily sighs deeply. "Well, we better go down there and check it out." She says, and gets ready to drop down. "Here goes nothing!"

~~~POV CHANGE! YAY!~~~

Arin silently watches Al pace back and forth, worrying about his brother. "He's late!" Al mutters. "I hope he didn't get lost." Myra smiles and walks in front of Al. "Don't worry! Ed will be fine!" she says. A moment of silence passes, when Al lets out a small gasp. Arin and Myra lock eyes, knowing what's about to happen. A giant knife suddenly slams into the ground, along with a suit of armor. Thankfully, all three of them successfully dodge the attack. "Wha-Who are you?!" Al asks tensely, getting into a fighting stance. "Heh, you're pretty fast for a big guy. Same for your girlfriend and that other young lady." The armor says, laughing. "G-Girlfriend? S-She's not my girlfriend!" Al says, waving his hands around frantically. Myra's face turns completely red, and steam starts emitting from her. "Well, girlfriend or not, this wouldn't be fun if you weren't." the armor says, picking up its blade and turning towards them. "You asked me who I am. I'm number 66! Though that's only when I'm working; I have a real time, but you'll shrink if I tell it to ya. I'll say it when I'm about to finish you off." 66 says, an evil tone in his voice. "Kill us?" Al repeats. "Heh heh heh…" 66 chuckles. "I'll take you apart nice and neat. Don't worry; all you need to do is scream."

~~~TO LILY AND SNOWFUR'S POV~~~

"What is this place?" Snowfur asks aloud. Lily walks around, looking at the room. It was pretty much empty, aside from broken chairs and tables splintered on the ground. There was also an entrance to another room towards the front. Lily wanted to move ahead, but Snowfur wanted to stay and check if there was anything left. Snowfur sighs heavily as she sets down a piece of wood. "Nothing. Let's move on." She says, heading to the entrance. Lily follows behind, taking another quick glace before exiting the room. The next room was what she least was expecting. It was the room she was experimented in. Lily just stands there in shock. Snowfur turns around and looks at her. "What's-?" she starts, but as her brain starts processing it, she knows exactly what this room is. "It's that room, isn't it?" Snowfur asks, her voice shaking a bit. Lily nods slowly, as terrible memories of the experiments flash back to her. Screaming, blood, yelling, doctors, homunculi; it was terrible. The room itself was scary. To the left of them was a large cabinet, filled with broken bottles and needles. The right had chains bolted on the wall, and they were splattered with dry blood. In the center of the room was a large metal table with broken metal straps on them, and it too was soaked with dry blood. As the two take in the whole scene in front of them, Snowfur's hand goes to her mouth. "This is so terrible…" she mutters. Lily's hand unconsciously goes to her neck. It was this room that made her like this. This one room. Although she wasn't from this world, the memories in her head felt real, and they were real. This was proof of that. This second life she had was real, and it scared her.

"Well well well, look who it is. I wasn't expecting to see you around here so soon." A very familiar voice emits from the shadows. Just the sound of it was enough to make the two girls stop completely. A faint sniffing noise can be heard. "One of them doesn't smell right…can I eat them Lust?" another voice asks. "Not now Gluttony," Lust says, the two of them stepping into view. In front of them is Envy, wearing a wicked grin. "It's nice to see you again, Pain."

Lily: *is in a corner sniffling*

Snowfur: ...

Edward: ...Oh. That's why.

Arin: I hate Envy.

Myra: He's scary.

Lily: Yeah...I need to snap out of this. *slaps herself*

Snowfur: Seriously? I had chocolate for this y'know.

Myra: CHOCOLATE! *steals chocolate and eats it*

Snowfur: Nevermind.

Lily: Anyways, I've decided that we'll start responding to reviews! So feel free to ask us anything!

Alphonse: Our first review is from gsunny6.

Edward: They said: OMAGURD third gen was my favorite pokemon gen. Then I heard about the remakes. Wish they didn't demolish the tower though. And remade Emerald and Crystal.

Lily: OMAGURD. I LOVE 3rd GEN TOO! SKITTY! NYA! :3

Snowfur: I thought your favorite pokemon was Eevee.

Lily: It is, but I like Skitty and Delcatty too. Btw, we all have the remakes! I have Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Snowfur: So do I.

Arin: I have Alpha Sapphire.

Myra: OMEGA RUBY!

Arin: My favorite region is Unova though, because I LOVE Serperior and Absol. ABSOL IS AMAZING!

Alphonse: The next review is from Sakura Chara

Edward: She says: I love it, and demand as queen of awesomness that you update~!

~Kura

Lily: I AM THE QUEEN OF AWESOMENESS! I ALONE!

Snowfur: *sweat drop* No, you're not. Sakura Chara clearly is. She commanded you.

Lily: Yeah, she did. I finished the chapter and I'm posting it RIGHT NOW cause she told me to.

Arin: Wow. I didn't know you could be commanded that easily.

Myra: Hahaha! You're easy to control!

Lily: I AM NOT. I'm just...um...

Snowfur: Yeah, you have to comeback.

Lily: S-SHUT UP!

Envy: Hey guys, has anyone seen Gluttony? He ran off talking about something called 'Pixie Sticks' or whatever.

Everyone: *glares at Envy*

Envy: *sweat drops*

Myra: Wait...THE PIXIE STICKS! *runs out the door, pushing Envy out of the way*

Envy: Oww...

Lily: Anyways, that's it for now! WE GOTTA GO SAVE THE PIXIE STICKS!
