Rain poured and poured as the wind softly blew its drops across a small window of an old white mansion. Inside the room of the most top-left balcony was a strange dark room. The raindrops softly hit the window class of the dark room. In the room was a mysterious, young girl with black hair. She was standing close to a sink with the water running. She washed her face a couple times and then looked into the mirror above the sink. She then began to stare at her reflection.
"What seems to be wrong Hikaru?" the reflection asked.
"Nothing big this time… Just about the strange dreams I've been having these past 23 days." Hikaru replied with a sad look on her face.
"What were they about?"
"They were about a certain boy. Every dream had him in it. And every time I awake from those dreams my head and my chest hurts…"
"What did he look like?"
"It's kinda hard to remember 'cause every time I usually wake up before I can really get a good look at his face. But I'm very certain that he has gold blonde hair. I can't confirm the length though. In the dreams he had both long and short hair, but when he has long hair it's usually braided. The sad thing is that I feel that he's somehow very familiar to me, but I don't even know who he is."
The reflection just stared at Hikaru, looking at her crimson eyes. She then said to Hikaru, "I'm sure you'll find out who he is soon. After all, you have those eyes."
"My eyes?" Hikaru asked confused.
"You'll learn soon enough, Hikaru…" The reflection said as she gave a small evil smile to Hikaru. "Now let me take over."
Suddenly the reflection in the mirror disappeared for a short moment and was back, but it wasn't the same one! In the mirror was Hikaru!
"What are you going to do?" Hikaru asked still confused.
"What do you think?" The reflection in Hikaru's body replied. "I'm going to find out who that boy is for you, but I'm sure with your eyes it wouldn't really matter for you would it?"
"Yeah… I guess you're right." Hikaru replied.
Rain poured and poured as lightning clashed in the night sky at East City. There was light coming from a window on the second floor of East City Military Headquarters. Inside was a young man, at about the age of 29, who was still working on filing papers when he was supposed to return home hours ago. He must be really serious about his work since he's staying at the headquarters at a really late hour. As he finally finished filing all the work on his papers the door to his office quickly opened. The man looked up to see and angry boy with gold blonde hair about 15 years old walked inside the office with a giant suit of armor about 7 feet tall.
"Struck out on the Philosopher's stone again, eh Fullmetal?" The man said laughing a bit at the boy.
"Ugh…" The boy groaned as he grabbed a seat in front of the desk. "Just Shut Up Colonel! I'm sick of hearing that line!"
"Calm down, Ed." The armor said trying to calm his brother down from his anger.
"What do you want from me anyway, Colonel?" The boy asked annoyed.
"Be patient." The colonel calmly replied. "Hughes will be here soon with the information."
The colonel then called for Hughes who just happened to beyond the door. The door swiftly opened and there was a man with glasses and beard.
"Yo Roy!" He shouted happily. "Didn't know you stayed out this late too?" Hughes then noticed the boy and his brother. "Oh! Didn't see you guys there! What do guys need?"
"We're waiting for the info, Major." The boy said still annoyed.
"It's Lieutenant Colonel!" He quickly shouted back and then got back to his usual calm voice, "Anyway. Edward, Alphonse, have you two ever heard of a man named Scar?"
"No, we haven't," the suit of armor, Alphonse, replied.
"Why do you ask anyway?" Edward said curiously.
"He murdered the General, the Iron Blood Alchemist." Roy answered.
"Wha-!" Both brothers said shockingly as they almost jumped out of their seats.
"That's not all." Hughes added. "His murders are only targeted to State Alchemists. So I suggest you should be careful, Ed, since he was recently spotted in Central. But that isn't the real mission."
"Ugh…" Ed groaned once more. "What is it this time?"
"There was a mysterious robbery in Central." Hughes continued. "No money was taken just some materials used to make weapons and a few books from the Central Library."
"What books were they?" Al asked.
"They were books on the Philosopher's Stone." Hughes finished.
The Philosopher's Stone! Ed said shockinglyin his mind. "C'mon Al. We're going to Central."
Ed dragged his brother out of the East City Headquarters and quickly ran for the train station. The two Eric brothers ran as hard as they could through the hard rain that pelted strongly on their heads. When they finally arrived at the train station Ed bought two train tickets to Central. The two quickly boarded the train before it left them behind. Al was put in the cargo trunk while Ed sat alone on the passenger cart. The train quickly arrived at Central and the two brothers swiftly departed it. They ran and kept on running until they heard a scream.
"What the hell was that!" Ed shouted as he and Al quickly ran to the area where the scream came from. As they were running trough the puddle-filled street they came across an alleyway and inside was Scar and the dead victim.
"You're Scar aren't you?" Ed asked as he approached the tall man with white hair and a scar on his face.
"Yes." Scar replied as he saw the pocket watch in Ed's right pocket. "You must be the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric." He then fixed his fearful red eyes at Ed.
Ed clapped his hands together and placed his left hand on his auto-mail arm creating a blade through alchemy. He then swung his blade at Scar, but Scar quickly stepped aside and turned around to grab Ed's auto-mail arm. He then sent a shock wave surging through his body that sent him flying into the ground.
"That son of bitch…" Ed cursed as he tried to get up from the ground.
"Brother!" Al shouted in concern as he quickly ran into the fight.
"Al. Don't!" Ed shouted warning Al, but he didn't stop. Scar grabbed the side of Al's armor, which created a red light that came out of Scar's arm. The next second the side of the armor that Scar held on to disappeared and Al fell to the ground.
"AL!" Ed shouted as he watched his quickly fall from one attack. He quickly got up, but just as he rose up from the ground Scar kicked him in the stomach, which caused Ed to fall back on the damp floor.
"Damn…" Ed murmured as he wiped the blood dripping from his mouth. He then got back up and ran at Scar once more. That's when he suddenly realized that Scar just got a hold of his auto-mail arm. In a matter of seconds Ed's auto-mail blasted into many little, broken pieces and he fell to the ground. No one was around to help him and Al. It was if they were finished for good.
Loud thunder clashed in the night sky as Hikaru suddenly woke up from her sleep holding painfully on to her chest, where her heart is. She was panting over and over again as she wiped the sweat off hersweaty face. She then walked over to the sink and washed her face a couple times.
"What is it this time Hikaru?" her reflection asked.
"He's…" Hikaru said still panting as she clenched her hand on her chest trying to ease the pain. "…in trouble…"
"Who's in trouble?" the reflection quickly asked, but before she can receive an answer from Hikaru already ran for her coat rack. "Where the hell are you going Hikaru?"
Hikaru didn't respond and grabbed he black cape from the coat rack. She quickly put her cape on and jumped off the balcony into the hard, pelting rain.
"That stupid girl…" the mirror murmured and then quietly disappeared as Hikaru did.
Hikaru landed on the ground and shoved the giant rock to the side. Beneath the rock was an underground passage that she quickly went down. Inside the passage was a large transmutation circle that was used to transport anyone touching it to other sideatthe other circle, which corresponds to the one being activated. Hikaru quickly ran into the circle and warped over to a rooftop of a building in Central. Corresponding to her dream, she ran over to the alleyway as fast as she could. On the way she quickly put on some blacked gloves with a weird seal printed on them, and then transmuted a long metal pole into a long Japanese sword.
Scar was about to finally finish Edward off for good until his invincible attack was somehow blocked!
"What the hell!" Scar shouted in confusion. "That's impossible… Nobody can stop my arm!"
Ed was shocked to see a girl about the same age as him with long black hair that flowed strongly with the wind. It was Hikaru! She stood in front of him and Scar directly blocking the attack that Scar tried to make on Ed.
"Who are you!" Ed shouted at Hikaru. She was about the answer, but Scar shouted,
"I don't care who the hell you are! If you get in my way I'll kill you, too!"
Scar ran towards the Hikaru, thrusting his right arm at her, but just before it hit her there was a sudden flash and Scar was bleeding on the ground with blood rushing out of his stomach and right arm. Valuing his life Scar ran out of the alleyway and disappeared. Hikaru turned around to look at Ed, but when she caught a glimpse of him she suddenly clutched her chest in pain again and fell to the ground.
"You okay?" Ed asked he slowly crawled closer to her. Hikaru began to cough out some blood and looked into Ed's gold eyes withmysterious crimson ones.
"I…" She quietly spoke as she coughed out more blood. "…can see… your wings…"
"My wings?" Ed questioned. "What the hell are you talking about? Snap out of it!"
"Your wings… are… whitish…silver…! The ones… I were… looking… for…" Hikaru then passed out from the lack of blood as Ed held her on his chest with his remaining left arm.
"Brother! The military's here!" Al shouted as his brother slowly walked over to him on his knees with Hikaru on his back. Ed watched as the officers exited the cars and smiled. Ed was relieved that he, his brother, and the girl who save him, Hikaru, were all finally safe.
