Across The World I Will Follow:

The truth among the lies,

Winry was sitting in the back of the truck with Alphonse, Ed, Khristie, and Havoc. They had pulled the truck to a safe place away from the City so that the others could catch up and they could regroup. Khristie was sitting on the back over the tailgate looking up at the sky watching the clouds lazily roll across its great blue majesty.

What , how, when, why, who? This power what does it mean?

You will know soon enough child

Khristie shook her head and curled up in a ball and continued to listen to the talk between Ed, Al, and Winry. "So Winry when do you think that you can be done with my arm?"

Winry had her hands behind her back Ed was looking up at Winry watching her every move. Winry was acting very strange swaying back and forth. She looked at Alphonse and Havoc. "Hey could you guys take Khristie and like walk around and give me and Ed some," she sighed. "Time alone?"

Alphonse and Havoc nodded Alphonse went and picked up Khristie and they got out of the back of the truck. Winry sat down next to him and pulled a near finished arm from behind her back. "It should only take me about an hour to finish these final adjustments and then you'll be back up and running."

Ed laughed, "Once a mechanic always a mechanic but how'd you run around with a nearly complete arm the whole time Win?"

Winry laughed, "It hasn't always been nearly completed, I'd get bored and I'd work on an arm. I thought I might as well keep my skill up so I worked on an arm and lucky for you it's in your size." Ed smiled and so did Winry. They both started to blush and they turned away. "okay well I better get started then." Ed nodded and Winry pulled out her tools. During the time they worked on his arm they heard the other trucks arrive and Havoc tell them to stay away from the truck.

Khristie sat up against a truck continuing to watch the sky as she listened to the sounds of the soldiers checking their weapons. She just watched tuning out the world and thinking about what happened earlier. She looked at her hands and then she noticed Alphonse walk up to her. "Hey Khristie." Khristie murmured a slight, "Hello."

Alphonse sat down next to her. "What's wrong Khristie?"

Khristie continued to look at her hands. "I want to know why I have these powers, what makes me so darn special. What's going on and I just want to know why!"

Alphonse nodded and motioned for her to lean against him. "Take a break Khris were almost to where were going."

Winry was about done with Ed's arm when he spoke again. "Hey Winry," He was staring at the ground. Winry kept working and answered. "Yes Edward?"

He sighed, "About a few weeks ago,"

Winry stopped working, "So now it comes out doesn't it Ed. Yes I'm very mad at you, I loved you and I still do." She was shaking as she stared down at her work. "Why do you think I worked on this bloody arm. The more I tried to hate you the more I worried about you." She looked up at him and tears were dripping from her eyes. She slammed her hands on the table that she was working on and the parts jumped and landed back on the table. "I couldn't stop thinking about you during Maribel, I was so afraid you were going to lose your arm and you'd die." She was bawling. ", and yet the only thing that kept me going was the fact that I knew you didn't want me, so I left I ran far away, but now I guess our paths and the first thing as always I'm FIXING YOUR GOD DAMNED ARM" she dropped her screwdriver that had been in her hand during the whole ordeal she placed her head in her hands and continued to cry out.

Ed stood up and walked over to her. He placed his hand on her shoulder she jerked away from his arm. "Winry, I'm, I'm sorry." Winry began to slow down her crying and looked up at him. "Winry I didn't mean what I said. I wasn't myself I was stressed out from all the work that I was doing, and I felt like you didn't understand."

"I didn't understand Edward because you would never let me in! You knew I love you but you would just sit there tuning it out and thinking I'm just some stupid girl to go home to and play with her god damned emotions! You are just like your father!" she gasped when she said that and turned away. "Ed I, I didn't,"

He was staring at the ground, "Winry no need to apologize I deserved that. I ran out on you just like he did on us." He was clenching Winry senced that he was close to tears. "I walked out on you like he did me and Al and Mom." He looked up with tears in his eyes. "That's why I chased after you all across Amestris looking for you so I could tell you,"

Winry turned around, Ed crawled over to her and lifted her hands up and placed them in his. "I love you," Winry began to cry and she wrapped her arms around him. Ed was crying to and he accepted the embrace and held her close for as long as he could even without his other arm. He turned his head and Winry did the same. "Ed I love you too." Ed and Winry's lips touched the two sat there enjoying the moment. The two were together again.

The middle of nowhere,

Chastity was walking through an unknown region near Dublith getting word of the progress of the troops. So far three major cities had members of "The Scarred" working to recruit more men to the cause. She walked and then she sensed a tremor in the flow of the world. She laughed. "It is time," She moved her hands and spun in a circle and she disappeared into the glory of the day.

The Scarred Camp,

Scar stood watching over his army with Annabella at his side looking over them all. Annabella stepped away and then Scar heard a whisper. "It is time." Scar laughed. "So fate is beginning to fulfill itself." He nodded and watched knowing that his time would soon come.

The office of the Fuehrer,

"Miss. Douglass, get me the general on the line."

"Yes sir King Bradley."

Bradley sat and lifted the phone to his ear. "General, It is time, it begins tonight Kimbley."

A loud roaring laugh sounds from the other side of the phone. "Brilliant." He hangs up the phone and walks out of his tent. He finds himself in the middle of a large oasis filled with thousands of soldiers. Tanks and the like. "Men! Prepare your weapons." He raised his fist in the air. "Tonight we burn Nebald to the ground!" his men roared and cheered all around him.

The office of Brigadier General Mustang,

A knock sounded from the door.

"Come in Hawkeye."

Hawkeye walked in back in her uniform she was holding a piece of paper in her hand. "Sir this came In the mail for you."

Roy took it. He stared down at it. "Good, Hawkeye go ahead and go home get some rest." He saluted her and waved her off. He turned to look out the window. "It begins."

Just outside Liore,

"Winry Al, take care of yourselves, go to Nebald,if anything happens follow the civilians war is nearing."

Winry nodded she was bowing her head with Khristie at her side. Ed walked up to her. "It's okay Winry, I'll be alright." He wrapped his arms around her and she began to cry.

"Ed you better not die!" she continued to cry in his arms. Ed kissed her one last time and walked back to the truck. He got in and the engine started. Winry stood up and cupped her hands around her mouth. "Or I'll kill you!" She waved and was trying to laugh but all she could do was cry. Ed stood up out of the seat and waved goodbye.

Is this really just a see you later, or is it a goodbye forever.

They walked away and boarded the train. It left and they were on their way to Nebald. The sun was still high in the sky, but by time they made it to Nebald it would be setting, and the country would be in negotiations for peace, or it could be the beginning of war.
