The gate was still open on the other side of Amestris. "Lieutenant Breda, Lieutenant Havoc." A voice ordered, "yessir?" the two soldiers of the State military replied in unison to their Fuhrer Roy Mustang. "Tell the others that I've gone to the west headquarters immediately." He ordered "yeah, but sir…aren't you…" they interrupted. "NOW!" and without a response they quickly ran off to report the order they were given. Roy Mustang got out of his chair, and at the same time he bumped his desk and knocked over a pile of paperwork. "Dammit! I don't need this right now!" his eyes caught Sheska passing by his office. "Sheska!" Mustang commanded hurriedly as he got his coat on. Sheska, central commands bookkeeper and on rare occasions researcher (most of the researching was left to the investigative department) skidded past Mustangs office, crashing into Alex Louis Armstrong. "You should be more careful next time Sheska-San." Armstrong had random pink sparkles around him as usual. Mustang ran out of his office and yelled out: "clean up that damn mess!" and with that, he was gone. Armstrong and Sheska peered inside Mustangs office to see mountains and mountains of unfinished (as well as unorganized paperwork). Their thoughts were the same. Does the Fuhrer ever do his paperwork? And how did he ever manage to get that position in the first place?
"This is it eh? The portal between our world and the real world, other wise known as The Gate." Mustang closed his eyes and reopened them. He stepped toward the middle of the transmutation circle and clapped his hands together. There was a bright flashing light and Mustang disappeared out of site.
A few hours after the shape shifter Envy trapped them in the warehouse: Kazuki, Tokiko, and Captain Bravo had escaped. "All right you two, listen up!" Captain Bravo ordered. "Yessir?" they replied in unison "I want you both to track down the homunculus Envy immediately, he already has Chouno, who knows what plans he may have next." The two alchemic pupils both nodded and went off to chase after Envy.
Envy smirked and laid Chouno down on a large transmutation circle. Unknown to Envy, the gate was still open and suddenly Mustang appeared in a quick flash. "I-it's you!" Envy stumbled back, "the one who killed Pride, the previous Fuhrer King Bradley! I thought Archer killed you!" he sputtered. "Wrong" Mustang had a serious look on his face now, and he quickly got into position to attack. Envy then shape shifted into the late Pride and unsheathed the blades from his back. There was a sudden fiery flash of light and a "clang" noise, as the State Alchemist and shape shifting homunculus were locked in battle.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Tokyo, Kazuki Mutou and Tsumura Tokiko stopped as soon as a loud crash echoed and a Phoenix-like Homunculus came swooping down. It let out a loud screech, and began to slash at Kazuki and Tokiko, leaving them no time to activate their arms alchemy. Kazuki reacted to the next attack quickly by parrying to the side. "Busou Renkin!" Kazuki gripped the Alchemic Lance and lunched toward the Phoenix homunculus "Jolting Slasher!" The homunculus suddenly vanished and Kazuki fell face first into the pavement. "What the hell was that?" he got up, slightly puzzled. "It's an illusion." Tokiko frowned "Papillon must have set this trick up to confuse us prior to his death." Tokiko glanced up and saw a bright glimmering light. "Kazuki-Kun!" she grabbed his arm and dragged him along in the direction of the light. Kazuki blushed, yet was still puzzled with all the events that had happened so far.
There was a long pause and all that could be heard was heavy panting from Envy (disguised as the late Pride) and Roy Mustang. Envy reverted back to his normal form and quickly kicked Mustang hard in the stomach. "Ack!" Mustang stumbled back, clutching his stomach in pain, also coughing up some blood. Envy ran over to Chouno and clapped his hands together then put them over Chounos chest. A burst of light shot up from underneath the homunculus and the "Papillon" (who at that time was also a homunculus) and they both vanished in an instant. "Dammit!" Mustang slammed his fist down on the ground where the transmutation circle one lay. Envy had escaped to who knows where, and the worst thing was: he had taken Chouno with him.
A few moments later, Kazuki and Tokiko showed up, exchanging bewildered looks. "Uhm…judging from what I can tell…" Mustang paused "you two are also alchemists, but you are from this world." Silence, and then a voice echoed from above as a figure crashed down between Mustang and the alchemic warriors. "BRAVO!" it was none other than Tokiko and Kazukis boss Captain Bravo. Roy Mustang scratched his head: what the hell is going on here? First Envy has somehow made his way to this world and then two alchemists that look like they're in middle school show up, and on top of that, some weirdo wearing a cowboy outfit comes crashing down, nearly killing me. Captain Bravo spoke up to break the eerie silence. "You are also an alchemist! I can tell from the near destruction you caused. Where are you from! And why are you here!" Mustang felt a little irritated as he thought to himself: who the hell does this guy think he is? How impolite to ask a question right out of the blue like this. "Well…?" Captain Bravo asked again, this time a little more impatiently. Mustang sighed a reply "Fuhrer Roy Mustang, also known as the Flame Alchemist." Captain Bravo gasped "yet another Busou Renkin user!" Mustang didn't use Busou Renkin; he used mere alchemy. Just as Mustang was going to continue explaining who he was and where he came from, Kazuki interrupted him. "Why were you with Envy before?" he shot "are you one of his subordinates?" Mustang frowned and finished what he was going to say before Kazuki interrupted him "Envy, as you may already know is a homunculus. Envy came from Amestris, which is also the land I came from as well. I followed him here after finding out his true intentions from one of his old allies Wrath. I however am not an ally of Envy, I am searching for him so I can kill him." There was another long pause and Tokiko was about to speak but Mustang cut her short. "My turn to ask the questions, why are you so interested in Envy? What business could you possibly have with that homunculus?" Captain Bravo closed his eyes and whispered to Tokiko and Kazuki: "we can trust him, if he is also after Envy then the best thing would be to ask him to join us in stopping him from whatever he has planned with Chouno." The two alchemic warriors nodded and Kazuki and Tokiko explained to Mustang what how they knew Envy and who Chouno Koushaku was. After everything was all said and done, Captain Bravo, Tsumura Tokiko, Kazuki Mutou, and Roy Mustang had agreed to join forces to bring down Envy.
