FullAngel Alchemist

Thoughts "blah"

Chapter 1

After the ordeal of being cursed by 'The Gate' Edward was finally ready to go through with his plan to become a State Alchemist. As he'd grow up a little over the years since he and Al had tried to resurrect their mother, so to did his wings. To conceal their presence Ed hid them underneath his red jacket. He hated having to button the thing up everyday and his wings were always cramped as a result, but the alternative was that the military would probably stick him in a lab somewhere to find out what made the fallen angel tick.

"Brother we have to hurry or we're not going to make it.", called Alphonse. The giant suit of armor was bouncing up and down with excitement at the prospect of taking the test to become a State Alchemist. Access to all of those books was just too exciting for Al.

"Yeah yeah, keep your pants on. I'm coming already.", replied Ed as he readjusted his wings underneath his jacket. They were well hidden and the only times that he ever really had to worry as when he started to molt. His wings were flexible enough that sitting down only cause him some discomfort, but nothing that he couldn't deal with. Every time that they saw Winry the girl just had to rub herself against Ed's wings or else the blonde would meet Winry's trusted wrench.

The Elric brothers quickly made their way to Central HQ where they had to find Mustang. The Colonel had to personally escort them to the test since they were both still under age.

In Central HQ Mustang's head was lying on a thick stack of paperwork. He was drooling somewhat and every so often he'd mutter 'Riza'. The Colonel had fallen asleep when his trusted aid had left him alone for five minutes with the huge piles of paper.

-Dream-

Mustang looked around to see paperwork for miles around. "Please Hawkeye no more.", he begged dropping to his knees.

The blonde First Lieutenant merely smiled and called in two huge trucks full of papers that the Colonel would have to sign. "You have to finish all of these Colonel.", said Hawkeye as an aura of fire surrounded her.

At that moment Mustang knew better than to piss her off now by trying to weasel out of his paperwork. "Yes ma'am.", he said quickly before returning to signing the endless stacks of paper. "There's no way that this can ever be tolerable.", he thought to himself.

When Mustang looked up again his mouth dropped to the desk and his nose started bleeding. Standing in front of the Colonel holding a gun was Riza Hawkeye wear a revealing tight leather outfit holding a gun in either hand. "Now be a good boy Mustang and do your work.", she said in a seductive voice.

Mustang couldn't find his ability to speak and settled on just nodding rapidly. "I stand corrected. This is acceptable.", he said giving her a good look over.

"Colonel...Colonel...COLONEL!"

-End Dream-

When Mustang woke up and realized that it was all just a strange dream he groaned. Hughes tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Roy...uh...you've got problems."

Mustang nodded absent mindedly and said, "Thank you Hughes, but I already know that."

"No not the Elric brothers.", said Hughes. When Roy lifted his head to see what Maes was talking about the Lieutenant Colonel pointed towards the door and said, "You were talking about your dream and...she heard all of it."

The Flame Alchemist looked at the door to see the object of his dreams standing there with a look on her face that clearly said that she was not happy. Roy paled while the rest of the staff moved away or ducked under their desks. "COLONEL!", growled Hawkeye moving her hand towards her gun. He didn't take long to make a run for it knowing this his subordinate was going to kill him if she caught him.

"GET BACK HERE AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!", shouted Riza as she followed in hot pursuit. The angry woman readied her trusty weapon and managed to corner Mustang just outside of the main hall. Unfortunately she couldn't shoot him because he was hiding behind Alphonse and Edward Elric. "That coward.", she thought knowing that he was using them as a shield.

"Alright boys it's time for you to take exams.", said Mustang as he lead them away from the First Lieutenant. Roy knew that there would be hell to pay later, but for now at least he was safe.

The trip the where the first part of the exams were to take place was a short distance away, so they chose to walk instead of ride in a car. Roy informed them all of the specifics of the exams that they should be aware of. "For starters the exams will be divided into three parts. The first part is the written, the second part will be a demonstration of your abilities, and the final test...I can't tell you about. You have to wait until you arrive before you will be told about the final test."

"Oh well. I'm still gonna ace this thing.", replied a confident Edward.

Alphonse sighed and added, "Brother your really shouldn't be so cocky. It won't be as easy as you think." Sometimes it was so easy to forget that Ed was now an Angel...he certainly didn't behave like one.

Roy nodded and said, "He's correct Ed. Most people spend their entire lives trying to pass the exams and few ever do. Don't let your natural talents go to your head because I can assure you that there are people here just as, if not more talented than you are." For Mustang it had taken him six tries and a lot of hard work before he passed the exams.

Despite Ed's attitude he knew that this was going to be difficult, but he didn't want to let his fear get the better of him. He would pass this test no matter what, it was the only way that he could get what he needed to put his little brother back into his body again. He remembered his vow and clenched his real hand into a tight fist. "I won't fail you this time Alphonse."

"This is as far as I can take you boys. Good luck.", said Mustang before turning to one of the men responsible for handling candidates. "These two boys are the two kids that will be taking the exams. Make sure you look after them."

The soldier nodded and lead the Elrics to their seats in a large room. Ed looked around and saw a wide variety of people from all over the country. He suddenly felt nervous as though everyone in here was staring at him. "Yes, they are all my opponents.", he thought. All of the other candidates were a very real threat to Ed becoming a State Alchemist since the military would only recruit a small number at a time.

Each of the Alchemist present were seated an equal space apart and given five hundred questions in varying orders. The test administrator was Brigadier General Basque Gran. The large man stepped forward and shouted, "BE QUIET ALL OF YOU!" Quickly everyone fell silent and Gran continued speaking loudly so that all could hear, "You dirt bags are all here for the sole purpose of becoming State Alchemist. Well I'm here to tell you that most of you sissies won't make it. You see I was placed here to weed out the weak...and all I can see right now are wannabe State Alchemists."

Gran started pacing around the room looking over each candidate. "You will have two hours to complete the written exam. Anyone caught cheating will be booted out immediately without question. As for those of you who think that you can get away with it, I've placed well trained observers throughout the room and I can assure you that they will catch you. If you so much as think a dirty thought I will know about it." The Brigadier General smiled seeing so many already shaken by his announcement and said, "Now...begin."

Ed didn't need further encouragement and quickly began working on his paper. The questions were long and required equally long answers which slowed the young angel down more than he was comfortable with.

Alphonse was also having difficulties with many of the questions. Not only were they long, but they were also incredibly complex. "Of course these questions are going to be hard, it's their way of finding the best candidates. Still...if the first part is this hard, what about the other two tests?", the younger Elric wondered making it to the third question.

Elsewhere a man and woman spoke. "So they are the children of Hoenheim? I knew that they would come here soon enough.", said the woman.

"Yes, it seems that Colonel Mustang helped them along. It's the only reason why the boys were allowed to take the certification tests.", replied a deep voice. "So what do you wish done with them, Master?"

"Nothing just yet, Pride. They'll eventually seek out the stone on their own...all we have to do is wait.", said the woman.

Roy having just made it back to the main building of Central HQ cautiously looked for any signs of the angry First Lieutenant. "What a relief. I thought for sure she'd still be waiting here with that gun.", said Mustang as he made his way back to his desk.

Maes walked up beside his old friend and smiled. "Well Roy it looks like you just might survive today. Although I was a little surprised that you pictured Riza in that tight leather number."

"Well you admit...she would look good in it.", said Mustang defending his dream. He'd had already gained a number of supporters since he announced that when he became Fuhrer that he would add a rule the required all female officers to wear tight mini-skirts. Maes already had a wife so he wasn't helping Roy for that. The two men went way back and they would always support the other when they needed it most. Unfortunately Roy was going to need a lot of support if Riza caught him.

"Roy I'd recommend that you avoid Hawkeye for the rest of the day and you may just come out of this alive.", advised Hughes as he started to walk out of Roy's office.

"Thanks Hughes, really.", replied Mustang. He saw Hughes stop at the open door and just stand there. "Was there something else?"

"Yeah, how fast can you run?", asked Maes.

"I don't know, why?", asked Mustang.

Maes stepped to the side to reveal Hawkeye still holding her gun and an angry look on her face. "That's why.", said Hughes pointing towards Hawkeye.

Mustang immediately ducked through the open window thanking his lucky stars that his office was on ground level. He looked back to see Riza following right behind him, so he made to duck by the Fuhrer to hopefully hide himself. After all surely Riza wouldn't shoot him right in front of Bradley.

The Fuhrer was sitting down in a comfortable seat watching a giant fountain and drinking herbal tea. "Ah what a peaceful day...what a calm, peaceful day.", he said looking at all the beauty of the city around him. The blissful silence was interrupted when he saw Mustang come running from around a nearby corner and a short distance behind him was Riza Hawkeye. They both blew past him and the old man smiled, "Ah...young love."

"You're going to die Colonel!", shouted Hawkeye as the soldiers of Central quickly cleared a path for her not wanting to get in the woman's way.

Back at the exams the Elric brothers had just finished with their first test. Alphonse managed to get about half way through while Edward was able to get about seventy-five percent of the questions.

"Man that test was a killer.", complained the angel.

"Mustang and I told you that it would be brother.", said Alphonse. The armor walked side by side with his brother as they exited the building to return to their assigned rooms. When people applied to take the certification exams, the military provided rooms until the exams were over. Matters such as food and clothing were your concern.

"Al, tonight I think that I'd gonna go out for a 'stroll'.", said Edward.

"Be careful brother. There are a lot more people here in Central than back home, you'll get caught if you're not careful.", warned Alphonse knowing that Ed wouldn't listen. Back in their hometown Ed would go out for nightly 'strolls'...in the sky. Alphonse always wondered what it would be like to have wings and he couldn't help but feel a little envious of his older brother. When Ed slept and left his wings out his face would soften and he truly looked like an angel.

During the past few years the elder brother had learned a little about his angelic nature and could perform some low level spells. The best he could do was an attack called 'Angel Feathers', where the feathers from his wings shot forward as hundreds of sharp knives. The first time that Edward had tried that one he'd pinned Winry to the wall and when she got loose she unleashed her entire collection of wrenches on the poor boy. "Who would've thought that Winry had over four hundred and eighty-two wrenches?", thought Al.

Author's Note: When I do the rewrites for FMA episodes I will be doing most of it from memory. So I am sorry I miss anything and don't be surprised if I skip certain episodes. If you want to really see one particular please leave the Episode number in a review.
