Amelia

Three days later, the five arrived at the large chateau of the brilliant alchemist; they hurriedly walked up to the door, knocking twice.

"Maybe she's not home?" Winry asked, seeming to be disappointed. A few moments later, a loud crash is heard from the other side of the door.

"Ah! Um, coming!" A girl from the other side of the door yelled, her voice muffled. After standing at the front door for another five minutes, the strange blonde finally opened the door. "Ah! Sorry about the wait, my house is kinda full of crap at the moment, so it's hard to weave through. Please, come in! And I see you brought friends!" The girl piped.

As the six walked into the estate, the girl handed out fresh cups of tea, but it looked more like coffee (and it probably was). She had blonde hair, though it looked strikingly similar to Ed's. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of cerulean, similar to the ocean itself, but the left seemed to be a bit off. She was dressed in a yellow and black shirt, and black cargo pants.

"So, you must be Edward! Hi! I'm Amelia! Sorry if I'm a bit hyper, but I love it when people come to visit!" Amelia bellowed from her wellspring of seemingly endless energy.

"Uh, that's all right. So, you had something you wanted to tell us?" Edward replied, slightly creped out.

"Oh, yeah! After the murder of my good friend, Brigadier General Maes Hughes, I did some snooping at Central command, and discovered your situation. You know those things that have been chasing you?" Amelia began.

"You mean homunculi? But how do you know about-" Alphonse was cut short by the ecstatic blonde.

"Yup! You see, I discovered that they are trying to –AH, AH, ACHOO!" Amelia sneezed, one of her eyes falling on the floor.

"Ah! Your eye!" Ed and Al yelled.

"OH MY GOD! HER EYE!" Ling added.

"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Winry bellowed.

"IS SHE BLEEDING?" Lan Fan yelled

The room was filled with panic as Amelia tried to calm everyone down, but her attempts were futile.

"HEY!" Amelia screamed, causing everyone else to freeze. "One of my eyes is prosthetic! I just forgot to put my patch on today!" Amelia yelled as the panicked crowd began to calm down.

"So, this is normal?" Winry meekly asked, still in shock.

"Yes! When I forget to put my patch on, it falls out when I sneeze! And, even worse, it causes such a dramatic over-reaction from everyone else!" Amelia continued to yell, for once seeming to be the only sane person in the room.

"Oh!" Everyone else in the room said as Amelia picked up her eye and put her patch on.

"As I was saying, these creatures are plotting to tear this country apart! But all hope isn't lost, my friends! I have discovered something extraordinary about them!" Amelia continued, still excited.

"Really?" Lan Fan piped.

"Yup! They, wait for it, have a weakness!" The blond yelled.

"WHAT?" Al cried.

"But they're immortal!" Edward added, also shocked.

"Well, it's a very strange weakness, but it exists!" Amelia continued.

The group sat in silence for a moment or two before Winry spoke.

"Well?" Winry asked.

"Well what?" Amelia asked, a bit dense at times like these.

"WHAT IS THEIR WEAKNESS?" The five yelled, a bit annoyed.

"Oh YEAH! Okay, get this! There are these strange artifacts with special properties that I have discovered in the other realms that I've communicated with. They're called Soul Talismans, or Seals, for short. Basically, every time a being without its own soul is created, an adjacent Seal is formed in another world. If you guys were to travel to these worlds and collect the Seals, then you would be able to destroy every last homunculus! And the world is saved! HO HO HO!" Amelia concluded, looking at the shocked expressions of the teens.

"Earth to Edward! Did you catch all that?" Amelia said, waving her hand in front of the other alchemist's seemingly unconscious gaze.

"Uh, yeah. So what you're saying is that you could send us to these worlds to find these Soul Talisman things, and then destroy the homunculi?" Edward said, still trying to grasp what the patched girl had said.

"That's the idea! So, you guys should get going, I'll give you more details later! Here's a communicator, some snacks, some manga, and OFF YOU GO!" Amelia bellowed, activation a massive transmutation circle.

"What the hell?" the teens cried as the transmutation began.

"Ahh! What's going on?" Winry yelled in panic.

"You're being transported to another world, duh!

"But why so sudden?" Al cried.

"GOOD LUCK MY FRIENDS!" Amelia cried, and they were gone.

And so, the journey begins
