Alright, here we go, next chapter, on the train...how...exciting... let's see if I can make it more interesting.

Sora and the others sat on the train as it zoomed past the beautiful scenery and took them closer and closer to HQ. Sora was sitting by the window and looking outside. The wonderful scenes on the other side of the window reminded him of his home on the Destiny Islands. He remembered how he, Riku, and Kairi used to play there all the time.

'I wonder what they're doing right now?' he thought. He was as far from them as he had been in a long time. Not only was he in another world after all, but an entirely different universe.

"Who do you think is behind bringing those monsters here?" asked Al. His brother shrugged and gave a loud yawn.

"I don't know, probably some weirdo wanting to cause misery to everyone...maybe Mustang..."

"ED!" said Alphonse. Ed gave a joker's smiled and waved his hand.

"You know I'm just kidding Alphonse." He said. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small lollypop, which he quickly unwrapped and inserted in his mouth.

'Good thing I got this at the station.' He thought. Edward put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. He was going to try and get some sleep before he had to face Roy and his smug look and annoying attitude.

Donald and Goofy looked at each other.

"Why do you think the heartless are here?" asked Goofy.

"Someone just trying to be evil and have more power...as usual." Said Donald.

Alphonse looked around on the train. There weren't a lot of people, just a few. One woman had a child that continued to look back the booth where he was sitting with everyone.

'Just another kid afraid of my armor.' He thought. He continued his inspection of the people in the cars, and stopped on one in particular. It was obviously a woman, but she looked sort of familiar.

She was dressed in a long brown coat and a hat to make her look like a civilian, but it was her face that was ringing a bell. Her blonde hair was clipped to the back of her head and she had a very stern expression spread on her features as she read the book in her hands. She almost looked like...

"Lieutenant Hawkeye?" said Alphonse. The woman he was watching suddenly looked up and turned her gaze to his direction.

"It is you Lieutenant!" Said Alphonse happily. He got up and rushed over to the seats where Hawkeye was sitting. Sora looked over at Ed.

"You know her?" asked Sora. Ed looked over as Alphonse and the woman confirming for himself that it was in fact Hawkeye. He got up, stretched a bit and nodded.

"Yeah, she works at headquarters with the jackass I was talking about." Edward walked over to his brother, Sora and the others following.

"Long time, no see, eh Lieutenant?" said Edward. The woman closed her book after marking her page, and smiled at the two brothers.

"It certainly has been a long time, hasn't it Edward? It's good to see you boys looking better, I heard you got into some bad shape and had to go home for repairs."

Ed scratched his head and gave a small laugh.

"Yeah well, you know it is, gotta stay in top shape!" Hawkeye gave a chuckle at his response, then noticed the three others standing behind them. Immediately, she pulled out and cocked her gun. Sora, Donald, and Goofy shot their hands in the air, panicking for their lives.

'This chick is crazy!' The trio thought in unison. Edward quickly began shaking his head and stepped in between the Lieutenant and Sora.

"Hey hey hey Riza, calm down!" He said.

"Yeah Lieutenant, they're with us!" chimed in Alphonse. She took a look at Sora and the others, then put her gun away.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," she said, "First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye at your service." Riza then gave a small bow to them. Sora took a long breath. That was a close one.

"So what are you doing on this train?" asked Edward. Riza look at him and took something out of her pocket. She handed the piece of paper to Ed, who unfolded it. It turned out to be a picture. In the picture was a heartless (a shadow heartless) turning into an ally. On the side of the wall, you could see a faint shadow of what looked like a woman.

"I was investigating a sighting of those strange monsters on a city south of here. None of the civilians had any information more than 'they take people and we don't see them again'."

Sora looked over Ed's shoulder to get a look at the article of paper Riza had just given him.

"Well I guess it's good that we found these three. They have some info on our new troublesome friends." Said Edward, pointing a thumb in the trio's direction. Lieutenant Hawkeye looked over at Sora.

"Really? Do you know the origins of these creatures?" she asked. Sora was about to answer, but Donald butted in.

"KNOW about them? We LIVE with the stupid things!" Goofy also chimed in

"Yeah, we can tell ya pretty much everything about them!" Riza, Edward, and Alphonse all began to laugh. Sora did too and rubbed a finger under his nose.

"Yup, that about sums it up!"

They continued to talk for the next hour or so until the train began to come to a halt. Sora looked out and saw a city with large buildings and plenty of people.

"Hey, this is our stop!" said Edward, walking back to their previous booth. He looked up and saw their luggage in the overhead rack. He gave a jump and his fingers just barely grazed the handle.

"Damn it!" he said, attempting the stunt again, but to no avail. Alphonse laughed a bit, then walked over and took the bag from the rack himself.

"You can't do everything yourself brother!" he said, "that's why you have me!"

Ed crossed his arms and looked away, not saying anything besides a barely audible "shut up".

Sora and the others walked off of the train with a few others, ending up on the platform. Sora looked around and couldn't help but notice men standing around the station with guns in their hands, all wearing similar blue uniforms.

"What's with the people in blue?" asked Goofy. As they walked by, the Lieutenant saluted one, who saluted back. They did the same to the Elric brothers.

"Oh, I see, they're part of the military!" said Donald.

"Bingo!" said Edward, flashing them a thumbs up.

"So is it far to HQ?" asked Sora. The younger Elric replied this time.

"Actually, not at all! It's just over-"

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" screamed a woman. It was coming from the allies behind the buildings.

"Someone's in trouble. Boys, let's go!"

Riza loaded both her guns and ran off into the ally, the Elrics, Sora, Donald, and Goofy on her tail.

"PLEASE COME QUICK, HELP ME!" the woman screamed again. Riza was darting through the different back roads with ease. She really did know this city like the back of her hand.

When they finally arrived, the woman was unconscious on the ground, surrounded by heartless.

"It's those new monsters again!" exclaimed Riza. She took am and prepared to shoot the soldier heartless, but was stopped when Sora put his hand on her gun and pushed it down.

"If it's alright with you Lieutenant, Donald, Goofy, and I want to take this one." She was about to protest, when Edward added in.

"Let them do it Riza. After all, they know more about the heartless then we do." The First Lieutenant let out a long sigh and put her weapons back in her coat.

Sora held out his hand and seconds later, the Keyblade appeared. Donald and Goofy took their stances behind him. The heartless turned from the woman to the trio.

"Alright, here we go!" said Sora, and charged at them with full force.

Since they were such low level heartless, it didn't take more then two minutes to dispose of all the soldiers. Unfortunately, that wasn't the last of them. Suddenly, five Large Bodies appeared, beating their stomachs like they were each King Kong. Sora looked over at the large heartless and back at the others who weren't fighting.

"Don't worry, we still got this!" he said.

Sora and the others had a little trouble with these guys since you could only attack them from behind, and they all backed each other up. This battle took half of their strength and more like fifteen minutes.

"See...I told you...we're good..." said Sora between breaths. Suddenly though, they saw some Shadows, Soldiers, and Large Bodies appear, all together. All three of the trio's jaw's dropped.

"You can't be serious!" they all said in unison. Now, it was Riza and the Elrics turn to step in front and take over the battle, that was until of course, they heard a voice from behind.

"It's alright Hawkeye and Fullmetal, I'll take care of these guys fast."

There was a loud snapping noise, and all of a sudden, all of the enemies burst into flames, right before Sora's eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing! He turned around to see a man with short black hair, military clothing and white gloves with some design on them.

"Colonel!" said Hawkeye, immediately putting her hand to her forehead. Edward laughed and smirked.

"Well if it isn't the jackass himself..."

"Nice to see you Colonel!" said Alphonse. Sora and the others looked him up and down.

"Well Fullmetal, it looks like you've made some new friends." The man said in a smug tone. Ed's smirk got bigger.

"Not just any friends Colonel. These guys know about those strange monsters that have been popping up all over the place." The colonel looked over at Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Well then, I think you guys and I are going to be friends. My name is Colonel Roy Mustang, "The Flame Alchemist".

So now Mustang's in the picture. I am really happy I've brought him in, after all, now we can have some real fun! Anyway, please review!
