So, this is the first chapter. Roy isn't here yet, but Ed and Al are! Yes, I'm trying to stick to the anime's storyline because I've seen and do own all the episodes on DVD.

I just hope you guys like this chapter so that I can continue the story.

Review please


"Did you really have to destroy all of the warehouses?" A young boy, no older than twelve, asked the woman.

She was leaning back in the seat of a train, her arms wrapped behind her head as she kept her eyes shut.

"Colonel Mustang won't be happy. He specifically asked you not to destroy the warehouses."

"It's his own fault for sending me of all people. There is a reason I'm called the Rubidium Dynamite Alchemist. I blow stuff up. It's just what I do." The boy groaned and bowed his head so that his black hair covered his grey eyes.

"You're so immature, Sister."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You say that at least three times a week." The woman opened her eyes, revealing beautiful pale blue irises.

Then, she glanced out the window of the train at the scenery passing by. Grass and trees.

"But you mustn't forget, Seth, he sent me of all people. Mustang wanted the smuggling operation shut down, and destroying the warehouses was the best way to do it. If he didn't want those warehouses burnt to the ground, he should have sent someone else."

"You have a messed up way of thinking." Seth murmured.

The woman grinned.

"Thank you. Now, I'm going to take a nap. Don't wake me up unless the train's in trouble." Seth was about to reply, but his older sister was already asleep.

--

Seth followed his sister, frowning.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? I'm sure the Colonel won't be happy with you making a pit stop in Aquroya."

"You worry too much, Seth. Besides, it's for a legitimate reason that we're here." As she said this, the woman brushed her auburn bangs behind her ear.

"And what would that be?"

"Psiren." She replied simply.

The boy groaned.

"Are you serious? You want to actually do something about this thief?" The woman grinned at her younger brother.

"Does that surprise you?"

"No. It just scares me. Aquroya is already sinking into the lake, you attempting to catch this Psiren is just going to make it happen so much sooner." The woman placed her hands on her hips, her auburn ponytail swinging with her every movement.

"Don't be such a baby, Little Brother. I will not sink Aquroya. Not entirely anyway."

"That's what I'm afraid of." The young woman rolled her eyes and then pointed to a nearby hotel.

"We'll stay here for a day or so, okay? Then, we'll get on a train bound for East City." Seth nodded.

"Alright. Fair enough. No more than two days, though."

"Fine with me. Compromise is nice." Seth then began to make his way ahead of his older sister, who watched him.

The smile that was once on her face, had faded.

She was lucky that it had worked. She was so very lucky that she had been right about the entire thing and that she didn't end up losing more than what she had in the first place. A piece of her soul wasn't so bad compared to what she had gained from it.

"Hey! Are you coming?!" She regained herself and looked to her brother who was waiting for her up ahead.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming. I swear, all you men are the same. Impatient as hell."

--

Seth grumbled under his breath as he followed his sister around Aquroya. She really didn't seem interested in capturing this Psiren. Instead, she'd rather go sightseeing.

"Shouldn't you go see the police or something?" He asked.

The woman blinked and looked at him with a raised brow.

"You're no fun, Little Brother. Alright, fine. Come on. The police station is this way."

"How do you know?" She grinned.

"Let's just say, I've had this planned for a long time now." Seth sighed.

"Figures." He mumbled.

The boy's older sister chuckled and wrapped one arm behind her neck as she continued on her way. The police station didn't take long to come into their view and the boy looked up at his sister who stopped just outside the door.

She sat down on the stairs and he blinked before sighing.

"What's wrong now? Too tired?" She shook her head.

"Nope. The police are busy with someone."

"How do you know that?"

"I've got good hearing." As she said this, the young woman tapped her ear and the twelve year old sat down beside her.

"Why is it that I actually believe you this time?"

"Because you love me very much and I don't lie about everything." Seth felt his sister place her hand on his head just to ruffle his hair.

"Hey! Stop it!"

"Fine. You're no fun." The door to the station opened and out stepped a large armored body, followed by a much smaller blonde boy who held his stomach.

The woman immediately stood up, as the boy fell to his knees.

"Brother! Are you okay?!" The young woman looked to the armored body upon hearing his voice.

Her eyes flashed.

He was younger than he looked. Probably younger than that boy on the ground.

"It hurts." The blonde groaned.

The woman sighed and looked to the armored boy.

"You better get your brother to a hospital. I know where one is. Follow me."

--

Seth wasn't sure why his sister had decided to stick around the hospital with those two boys. Of course, he knew that the fact that they were the famous Elric Brothers could have been why, but every one of her decisions weren't always understandable. There was probably something more to this.

The armored boy, who was now known as Alphonse, stood beside Seth as the young woman was in the room with the blonde, now known as Edward, and the nurse. Apparently, Edward didn't like having his shots.

"So, your name is Seth?" Alphonse asked.

The twelve year old nodded.

"Yeah."

"That's your big sister?" Seth nodded again.

"What's her name?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Besides, she likes to tell people herself, just to laugh at their reaction." Seth looked up at the armored boy, who nodded.

"Oh." The door to the hospital room opened and soon, both Edward and the young woman stepped out.

The fifteen year old was relatively confused looking as he glanced up at the woman. Then, he stumbled back and pointed.

"You kissed me!" She blinked and then rolled her eyes.

"On the forehead. It was to get you to shut up long enough for the nurse to stick you with the needle." She looked to her brother and frowned.

"Don't look at me like that. My sisterly instincts kicked in without warning and it really was the only way to get him to shut up." Seth sighed.

"And you're supposed to be an adult."

"Again with the immaturity. I'll grow up when I have a reason to. Anyway-" She turned her attention to Alphonse, her pale blue eyes looking him over.

"- we should get to our hotel. We can start with that Psiren thing tonight."

"You're looking for the Psiren too?" Alphonse asked.

The young woman nodded. Seth rolled his eyes.

"More like vacationing. You just don't want to go back to East City. This Psiren just gave you an excuse to take a break." She grinned.

"Hey, my excuse is legit." Alphonse looked to Edward.

"Brother, maybe they could help us." Edward blinked, crossed his arms, and looked thoughtful.

Her eyes flickered as she smirked.

"Would the fact that I'm a fellow State Alchemist influence your decision in my favor?" Edward and Alphonse looked to her, the blonde blinking.

Seth exhaled and slumped.

"Always throwing the watch in people's faces, aren't you, Sister?"

"It's who I am." To prove her identity, the woman pulled out her silver watch and swung it around her index finger.

Edward looked up at her.

"So, you're a State Alchemist too?"

"Rubidium Dynamite, at your service, Full Metal."

"What's your real name?" The woman flashed another grin.

"Oh, so now I'm gonna be useful, huh? Well, I suppose I could tell you. First Lieutenant Kenny Flye."
