Sorry for the delay. Here is the next chapter!

I don't own FMA:B or FMA original.

"What?!" Liz snapped her head at the man that almost killed Edward and Alphonse Elric.

"Maybe there are too many of you," Scar said and looked around uneasily.

Roy smirked at the man, "Don't try running, we have the whole place surronded." he told Scar with an almost smug voice.

Suddenly Scar put his hand up and onto the ground. The whole road caved in and many people had to jump out of the way or fall. Liz almost lost her footing and just about went tummbled into the sewers of Artemis.

"Is it over?" Liz heard Hughes voice say from her left.

She ignored the conversation as she turned her attention to Edward, "Al! Alphonse!" He yelled at the empty armour shell.

"Edward...You idiot!" Alphonse yelled and punched Edward in the face. Liz stepped back from their fight as Ed swayed back and forth from the punch, "Why didn't you run when I told you?!" Al asked, still yelling. Liz watched them in surprise, this was the first time Al had actually yelled.

"Because I didn't just want to leave you here..." Edward stammered when he finally regained himself.

Al took another punch at Ed's face and yelled, "That's what I mean by STUPID" He hit Ed just as he said 'stupid'.

Liz sighed as the brothers bickered at each other, "I'LL TALK TO YOU HOWEVER I WANT!" Al yelled louder than most of what he had been yelling.

Liz concentrated on Al's metallic voice. Once again she had a nagging feeling in her stomach as she listened to them. They are alive. Was all she thought as she closed her eyes and blocked out all the noise in the alley.

Suddenly there was a large clash on the ground. Liz snapped open her eyes and looked over at Edward and Alphonse, "Oh look my arm came off too...!" Al said scolding Ed, "It's your fault, Edward! You idiot."

Ed started chuckling and looked at Al, "We are a real mess, huh Al? How uncool," He said with a smile.

"But we are alive," Al said with warmness in his voice.

Ed nodded, "Yeah, We're Alive." Liz smiled and walked up to them. She knelt down next to them just as Riza Hawkeye put her jacket on Ed. Liz didn't care about how her pants were getting wet. It was nice for her to sit here with Ed and Al and just smile.

As they all started to get ready to leave Ed walked up to Liz with his face dead serious, "Liz, how can you do transmutation without a circle?" He asked her.

After a few moments of thinking Edward half answered him, "Equivalent exchange. I will tell you my story, if I get yours."

Ed smiled and nodded. He patted her on the back with his left arm(Duh), "Lets go inside then."

After Roy Mustang's explanation of Ishval Ed turned to Liz, "I'll go first." He said and started telling her about everything they went through. Before she even realized it, tears were going down her face. The saddest for her was them trying to bring their mother back from the dead. Havoc handed her a tissue as Ed told her about how they burned their house down and he became a state alchemist. He didn't tell them exactly about the gate and everything. Some of it he left out.

"Edward... I.." Liz was lost for words. Ed nodded at her and waited for her to continue, "I-I guess it is my turn. Equivalent exchange after all." She said with a weak smile. After a deep breath she started, "Well, my name is Elizabeth Dallas."

Ed looked at her with a little surprise, "Really? Like the person who died then came back to life." He asked Liz. Roy looked over at Liz as she nodded and continued.

"I-I almost died in a train wreckage. Including me, there are only ten survivors." She took another deep breath and continued, "They said I was pronounced dead, for ten minutes, and.. and they said I came back to life." Armstrong looked at her with amazement.

"I saw the truth! It welcomed me there.. I went through the gates then.. then into another gate beyond that one." Liz paused again and looked around before continuing, "There was other.. people. I-I think they were all dead too." Edward took a sharp inhale, but said nothing, "I can't remember any faces.. Someone told me I was dead.. She was nice, but then something happened. It was like she was glitching in and out of place. I took her hand.. And I went backwards through the gate... It gets really blurry after this, so forgive me. I remember reaching out to someone.. But I couldn't reach. They were saying something... I don't know what." Edward looked at her in surprise.

"That happened to me also.. I was trying to reach out to someone.. My mom.." Ed told her then let her continue.

"I saw truth again. He said, 'Well, this isn't the last time you will see me. Maybe it will be sooner than later.' And, well I woke up. People were rushing around me in surprise. I felt extreme pain. They said that the train wreck took off my whole right arm." Liz said then paused thinking about anything more to say, "This was four years ago, I was 11."

Al looked up from his boxed crate, "Edward was 11 and I was 10 when this happened to us."

Liz put her head to the side, "Really. That's...odd."

"What was the date this happened, Liz?" Roy asked, speaking the first time since explaining Ishval.

Liz paused for a moment, thinking about her answer, "Well, I think I woke up on... September 24.."

Al and Ed gasped(Even thought Al doesn't breath) and looked at each other, "T-that's the same day.. The same day we tried to." Al started, his words died off.

Roy pondered this for a few minutes as they just looked completely shocked, "I think this must be a freak incident. I don't think they are connected." Liz told everyone, even thought she wasn't convinced.

"Fullmetal, Liz, what will you two do next?" Roy then asked after a moment of Liz's words.

Ed looked over at everyone, a towel over his shoulder, "Well, I guess I have to go see my auto mechanic."

"Hmm, I might go visit a friend. They might be able to help me with this." Liz said and showed everyone the base of her right automail. It had some wires sticking out of it and looked pretty beat up, "Hard to fight with a hurting arm." she said jokingly.

Roy nodded, "Well you need an escort for you, Fullmetal, but I have responsiblities here in central. I can't take time to escort you."

"An escort?!"

Sorry to cut the chapter short. I know I haven't updated in a while, but I didn't want to drag it on. (Plus this is where the chapter ends in the manga.)
