AN: Just to get the ball rolling a short chapter to get Ed and Al into Tokyo-3.

Chapter 3: Short

Only 20 minutes had passed since the 'light show' had drawn its conclusions. The air was still, crisp and cool. The pale moon light glinted off the blue-gray armor of Alphonse Elric as he and his brother Edward moved through the forest.

Al could tell by the way Ed was walking that his brother was seething. "We have been walking for hours!" Ed yelled in anger, he was looking down at the ground watching his step. Which he had been doing since his foot got caught in a fox hole after they jumped off the train.

"Brother, look." Al interrupted Ed's stride of complaint that was about to erupt from the shorter Alchemist. Ed's eyes flashed up at what his brother pointed to. It was a giant purple monster. "Wha-What in Hell is that!??!" Ed asked beads of sweat going down his face. Then rustling was heard from the bushes as 6 men in black suits holding .45's directly at the Alchemists emerged. "Halt where you are put your hands behind your heads!" Cried the tallest of the men. Al and Ed exchanged a look and did as they were told Ed smirked. "You know it's not nice pointing those things at a couple of innocent kids?" He clapped his hands putting them on the ground quickly. In front of each agent a blunt pillar of stone erupted from the ground tosses them all backwards.

"AL, RUN!" Ed shouted as they made their way deeper into the woods.

Gun shots erupted.

Misato and the rescue teams arrived only minuets after Shinji had helped Rei out of her Entry Plug. She went up to the boy pilot and hugged him quickly. "You did it Shinji!" She nearly screamed girlishly as she compressed him to her body. His face buried between her breasts. They are so warm. He thought as a small trickle of blood dropped from his nose. Then gun shots. Misato pushed Shinji behind her and the med techs covered Rei. Misato drew her gun scanning the tree line. Then another shot and a bullet grazed her jacket and ricocheted off the Entry Plug armor into the shoulder of a female medtech who gave a cry falling to the ground.

"HOLD YOUR FIRE!" Misato yelled, she had recognized the sounds of .45's firing and knew they belonged to the men of Section 2. Just as she had finished her sentence two figures burst out of the bushes and ran straight toward the cover of the ambulance. Misato trained her weapon on the boys. "Hold it right there!" She spoke clearly. Al gave a start and she could have sworn that the armor's mask had changed shape into a frightened expression, but cast off the thought as a trick of the moon light.

Ed went to clap his hands again, but Misato emptied a round into the side of the ambulance. Ed froze as it had just missed him by mere inches. "I said 'hold it!'" Misato quipped with a smirk.

The boys had explained themselves to Misato back in an interrogation room at NERV HQ. The Commander had called them up to his office shortly after they finished explaining their situation to Misato.

Commander Ikari sat behind his desk, "So, you in the armor I can see why they call you the 'Full Metal' Alchemist. You must be Edward Elric." He was smirking, he knew it was the other way around, but he wanted to see what kind of temper Edward had. Ed held up a shaking fist then stepped forward and yelled, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUNT!?!"

Yes, this boy would fit into the scenario nicely. Gendo smirked.

Till next chapter.

Chapter 4: Alchemic Atlantis

OMIT TIME!

"Brother, look." Al interrupted Ed's stride of complaint that was about to erupt from the pint-size… Ed looked quickly up at the author and clapped his hands his and pressed them to the ground making a cannon. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MICROSCOPIC MEAT BRAINED MIDGET!" Then fired the cannon.

The Author caught the ball of mud, "My bad."
