(A/N: I'm a-live! Surprising huh? I've been busy with finals and my latest work, "Trouble Times Five" Check it out after you finish this chappy if ya want,kay? READ ON!)

"Whaddya thinks takin'er so long?" Kazuo asked, jiggling his foot in nervous tension.

"Hey, she has ten people to pick up." Suo sighed.

"Not exactly much she can do about it." Takaomi shrugged.

"Speakin' a which…" Mannen smirked as the sound of chopper blades sliced through the city air like a sword.

Aki awakened with a start and began to wail loudly as the rope ladder was tossed down and Akane poked her head out.

"HAND'M UP!" she yelled, stretching her arms towards her bawling nephew.

Suo did as he was told, in no position to back talk to his younger half sibling as A) she was rescuing him B) it was his own fault this situation happened in the first place and C) while able to deal with her mood swings, Suo just wasn't in the mood to deal with a blood-lusty Akane.

As the rest of the Fucked Up Five clamored up the ladder, it was all they could do to keep themselves from falling back to the blacktop below at the sight that met their eyes: Ed, Roy, Maes and Armstrong, eyes wide in disbelief as Akane babytalked Aki in a soft, loving voice.

"Well…it's a party." Kazuo snickered as Aki quieted down and Sora and Hinode tackle-glomped him.

"Kazu!" Sora cried in Japanese, "We missed you sooooooo much!"

"Are you okay?" Hinode asked, "You didn't get hurt at all?"

"Nope." Mannen grinned, "We're fine."

"Never been better." Takaomi smirked.

"Washington State, Ryu." Akane said calmly, jiggling her nephew a little and ignoring the FMA cast's jaws on the floor, "We still have two more members of the Freak Brigade."

"Um Ms-I mean Kendra-" Al stammered in the strange woman's garage, where she was currently giving him a rub down with silver polish and steel wool.

"Nikki." She retorted, targeting a spot on his lower back, "And what is it?"

"Um…your friends…" Al said cautiously, "Would they really do all the things you said they would?"

"Hooooo yeah." Kendra replied, dabbing more polish on the brillowy surface of the steel wool, "They give a whole new meaning to the word 'Obsessed'. Especially my friend Kristen. She has the biggest Ed fixation I've ever seen and Remi would chop you up and sell you on e-Bay if she got the chance."

"Wh-what about…you?" Al asked carefully.

"You don't hafta worry." Kendra said blandly, now working on the back of hiss head, "I'm a Jin, Sesshoumaru, Uchiha Itachi, Duo Maxwell girl myself."

"Oh." Al said, not knowing what in the world that meant, "I…I see."

Kendra came around so she was in front of him and grinned.

"You're just not my speed, boy-o." Kendra replied, applying a layer of polish to his chest, "Nuthin' to worry about."

"Okay." Al replied, sounding slightly relieved.

"All done, and it sounds like I finished just in time, too." Kendra smirked, hearing the sound of chopper blade whirring far too close to her garage.

The metal garage door was abruptly punched in by a disgruntled looking fifteen year old with midnight blue hair.

"You! Helicopter! In! NOW!" she snarled, grabbing Al by a metallic wrist and hauling him out of the garage.

"Um b-bye Kendra! Thanksforeverything!" Al called quickly as Akane heaved him into the awaiting helicopter.

"No prob dude!" Kendra grinned, waving to him as the chopper on her front lawn took flight, "Take of yourself, ya hear?"

"Al!"

Al found himself momentarily blind as Ed covered him in what would've been to anyone else, a smothering hug.

"Man I missed you!" Ed said, stepping back, nearly blinded by how shiny Al was, "Man…whaddid you do to yourself?"

"Umm...Kendra…a local she polished me up." Al said sheepishly, "You see, I was covered in mud from trekking in the woods so she decided to clean me, and since I looked a little dull, she gave me a polish too."

"Well that was nice of her." Suo said, nodding as Akane barked at Ryu, telling him to get this bucket of bolts to Nebraska.

Before Al had chance to respond, a pair of purple and teal blurs launched themselves at him, sending him crashing to the ground, awakening Aki with a heart wrenching wail, and sending Akane into a fit of rage the likes of which the world had never seen.

"Hey there missy. How goes it?"

Riza Hawkeye glanced up from tending the elderly farmer's sheep.

"Just fine. And how about you sir?" she asked calmly.

Hawkeye, in the time since landing in North Platte, had been taken in by the old farmer and had been working on his farm to pay her room and board.

She found farm life quite relaxing and found herself thinking of beginning a savings fund to buy her own place and start a farm of her own here one day.

A ewe butted her head against Hawkeye's hand, demanding that she pet her.

Hawkeye complied and breathed in a deep breath of country air, sighing deeply.

It was just. Too. BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

Hawkeye knew that if she stayed here for another week, she'd go on a killing spree.

Fortunately for her, the helicopter blades overhead were her salvation as Roy leaned out and yelled, "Oi! Riza! The Calvary's here!"

"Thank GOD!" Hawkeye thought to herself, flying up the rope ladder, past Roy's open arms and into and into the last available seat.

Roy pouted a moment before the airplane took to the air again with all five brother's restraining Akane as she fought with every once of strength she possessed to get free and maim every last one of the animanga chara's present.

Sora and Hinode were still glommed onto Al as he frantically tried to shake them off.

Ed was chasing after Al in a fruitless attempt to help his little brother remove the Otaku Twins from his back.

Maes was comforting Aki in Akane's place (as she was too blinded by rage at her nephew being awakened to do it herself) and reflecting what he could have possibly done to have deserved such a fate as this.

Armstrong had gone down for a nap and dreamed of his mother, burbling contentedly to himself as Ryu turned the helicopter back towards Japan.

However, what nobody knew was that they had a welcome party awaiting their arrival.

-Two Hours Later-

"We're home!" Takaomi whooped as Akane leapt out of the chopper before it even touched down.

"FINALLY!" she cried as she hit the ground running and dashed towards the house (koff-mansion-koff) at breakneck speed.

She hurled open the doors, Sora and Hinode at her heels, only to have her eyes widen in horror, then narrow in disgust.

"What…are you freaks doin' here?" Akane snarled, shooting a glare that killed the surrounding flora and fauna.

"Nice to see you too." Duo said sarcastically as Wufei rolled his eyes.

"Hey, that's no way to greet your guests!" Naruto grinned mischievously as Sakura massaged her temples and Gaara walked out of the kitchen, deep in conversation with Heero about combat tactics.

"What the hell?" Ed muttered coming up behind her.

"What the fucks goin' on here?" Mannen cried.

Suo ran in just as Temari, chatting with Relena and Dorothy ambled through the living room.

"Oh god...what th'?" Suo cried just as Akane's fist collided with the side of his face.

"FIX! IT! NOW!" She screamed.

"EEEEE! Heero-kun!" Sora shrieked dashing into the living room, "Hina-chan! Shikamaru-kun! Chouji-kun!"

"QUATRE-CHAMAAAAA!" Hinode squealed, glomping onto the blonde, "Itachi-chan! Kisame-kun! EW! What's Orochimaru doing here?"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT THESE FREAKS'RE DOING HERE!" Akane bellowed, "MAKE THEM GO AWAY RIGHT NOW!"

"What on earth is going on?" Maes asked dazedly.

"Hey, join the party." Duo grinned.

"Brother, I'm really confused." Al said muzzily.

"So'm I. Al. o'm I." Ed replied tiredly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Akane shrieked running up the stairs to her room, "WHY ALWAYS ME?"

(A/N: What th' fuck? They're BACK! All of them! In all of their animanga glory! But what th' hell's going on? Why're they there again? R&R)
