Chapter 1
"Where the heck are we Tails?" said the blue hedgehog in the red coat. "We've been walking forever, and we need to find this place or else mister hot head, Cornell Knuckles will be all over us like buzzards on a dead meet." Talking back to thin air as if somebody was back there. The desert was big and sandy like all the deserts. He spun around with a surprised look to see that there nobody was there. He glanced around the empty waste land then scratched his head. "Where is he now?" he said under his breath as he heard a big metal clunking sound coming from over a giant dune. It revealed a large creature covered in armor, the armor was shaped to fit a large, bulky fox, you could tell by the style of the helmet and the long Tail protector. It slowly walked over the dune to where the hedgehog was standing.
"We could've taken the train you know." Said the surprisingly little boy voice coming from the hollow creature.
"You know I like to walk Tails." replied the hedgehog as he resumed walking.
"You're not as fast since the accident."
"So, doesn't mean I don't like to walk. Besides I have keep waiting on you, slow poke!"
"I was never fast, my tails did all the work, remember?"
"Even with your tails you were slow. Hey look up ahead! Is that the city?" He said pointing to a large city in the distance. "Let's go! I may not be as fast but I can still outrun you!" He said sprinting to the city.
"I hate when does this." Said Tails in annoyed voice as he ran off after him.
"What are you guys, street performers?" asked the confused wolf at the bar as he polished the glass. Sonic and Tails sat in stools beside the outside bar as Sonic sucked out the orange liquid from the glass.
"You don't know who I am?" asked Sonic in a surprised voice nearly gagging on the beverage. The city was bright cheerful, everyone there seemed to be happy and without care. The giant statues around every corner of the city however resembled a tall stern man dressed in a robe holding some sort of rod with a star emblem on the end of it. There was a giant temple in the middle of the city that people were already standing around for some upcoming event. The air was filled with the sent of wine and soft music played as the people gathered to their radio's.
"I don't think I know any kid that fat. " said the wolf inspecting the young hedgehog. Sonic rose out his chair and launched towards the man but Tails caught him at the last second and held him.
"Listen bub I'm not fat!" he screamed flailing his arms around. "I'm round! You got that?! Next time you call me fat I'll-"
"Shh!" interrupted the wolf as he turned up the volume on his radio. "The morning praise session is beginning."
"My children," Said the hearty voice on the radio. "The sun god is pleased with your good deeds and is rewarding you with great health."
"Oh great," Sonic rolled his eyes as Tails sat him back down in his chair. "who's this guy?" he asked uninterested as he sucked down more orange liquid.
"Oh yeah, you guys from out of town." He said as a crowd gathered around the boys. "This is Father Cornellow."
"Yeah, he's the best." said a man behind him.
"He's a miracle worker." said a lady passing by.
"He is the prophet of god." said the wolf again.
"Man this place is weird." Sonic whispered to Tails.
"Sonic, please." Tails hushed.
"You're calling us weird." Said the wolf calmly as he laughed. "You're the ones wearing Armor and coats in the middle of summer."
"Well, we've got business to take care of so if you'll excuse us." Sonic said rising out of his chair as he accidentally pushed the radio off of the counter with his arm. The radio fell to the ground smashing into a million pieces.
"Now look what you've done!" Screamed the wolf.
"Calm down gramps, we can fix it." Said Sonic putting his hands behind his head.
"Fix it? It's in a million pieces!"
"I can do this one Sonic." said Tails pulling out a piece of chalk and kneeling down beside the radio, drawing small circles and lines around the radio.
"Wait, what is he doing?" asked the wolf.
"Just watch." Sonic replied with a snicker. After Tails completed the strange design around the demolished radio, more people started to gather round forming a crowd in the street. Tails checked the lines to see if they were correct and then placed his hands above the circle. A blue flash quickly lit up the lines and a puff of smoke formed and vanished in an instant. As the smoke cleared everyone gasped at the now assembled radio.
"And thus the Profits were there to comfort the inmates..." resumed the now working radio. The people whispered and pointed at the two brothers.
"Hey, your friend has been blessed by the Sun God!" yelled out a man from the crowd. "It a miracle!"
"It's not a miracle, it's Alchemy." replied the metal armor, picking up the radio and placing it back on the counter.
"Oh, so you guys are alchemists." Cried one of the men.
"Not just any alchemists," cried another man. "it's the Prower brothers."
"Yeah, Sonic, the Full Metal Alchemist!" Cried another. Sonic gave a smile, expecting the crowd to gather around him.
"Well I don't want to brag but..." He said.
"Uh, Brother" said Tails timidly, being crowed by people. "help..." Sonic's smile faded and turned into a angry twitch.
"I'm the Full Metal Alchemist you idiots!" Screamed Sonic towards the people. The people turned to him and paused.
"Who? That fatty over there?" said a young women. Sonic steamed over with anger, he was about jump and tackle the woman in front of him.
"Ok calm down Sonic, she didn't know." Said Tails waving the steam away from his head.
"Hey guys!" said the upward beat female voice. "Whats up!" the crowd seemed to diminish as the remaining people brightened up as the sound of the voice. The brothers turned to see a pink hedgehog in a red dress who was carrying a sack grocery's. Tails nudged Sonic, giving him a smile (if he could), but Sonic knew what it meant as he slammed a hard fist into the metal which he regretted later.
"Hey, Amy" said the wolf at the bar. "Boys, this Amy Rose one of the nicest girl in town." He then leaned in close. "She's got a hot side, so don't make her mad. Hey Amy," he then said resuming his conversation Amy. "aren't you going the Temple?" she smiled and nodded her head. "Well take these Alchemists along, maybe you can show them the light."
The was tons of people standing outside of the Temple watching to see the man in a black suit. The large cat stood on the stage taking a small flower and in an instant transforming it into a statue of many colors as the crowd continued to cheer.
"What do think?" asked Sonic
"It's Alchemy, I'm sure of it." replied Tails.
"Yeah, but he's ignoring the law of equivalent exchange."
"Is that possible?"
"Yeah, you thinking what I'm thinking."
"Isn't he just amazing?" asked Amy. "Come on, you guys we have to get in the Temple, come on!"
The temple was large and dark with a statue of the "Sun God" around every corner and along every wall. The place was filled with pews and a large alter sat in the front middle of the temple with a bright light shining on it. Amy was washing the alter with the ingredients in the bag. Tails was off wandering around the Temple as Sonic sat in pew and kicked backed and relaxed.
"So tell me Amy, whose this Father Cornellow guy?" asked Sonic
"Oh, he came here a little while ago. We were all lost until he came to town. He told us of the great Sun God Leto, he grants eternal life to his faithful followers and can even resurrect the dead. Are you wanting to learn Letoism?" said Amy
"Nope, I not religious."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm sure if you did believe in him he would surely make you skinnier." She said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Whats that supposed to mean?!" Screamed Sonic as Tails rushed over to hold him back once more.
"Sonic, she was only trying to help." said Tails
"So you really believe he can bring back the dead?" asked Sonic.
"Yep, sure do!" she said sending him a big smile. Sonic sighed, laid back in a pew and pulled out a small book.
"Water 25 liters, carbon 10 kilograms," listed Sonic "ammonia 2 liters, lime .5 kilograms, phosphorus 700 grams, salt 100 grams and other trace elements." Amy just gave a confused look. "We can get the elements from a average Mobians body, but not even the greatest scientists has ever made a Mobians life. Now some guy says he can through a power of a god?"
"With prayer, anything is possible."
"Oh, and all those ingredients can be bought with spare change from a little boys allowance." Sonic said ignoring the previous statement. "We Mobians are pretty cheap, huh?"
"No," She said trying to remain calm and holding back anger. "every child of god is created in his in Leto's image." Sonic gave a quick laugh.
"Look, we're Alchemists, we study the truth not some folk lore God character." Said Sonic putting away his book back into his jacket. "Funny, with the power we've been given, we're the closest things to god you'll ever see."
"No!" she exploded then quickly regained her composer. "You're comparing your self to god. That just the most absurd thing I've ever heard of." She said with a calm but yet fiery rage in her voice.
"There once was a man who thought he could fly, so he made wings out of wax and flew across the country, but he got to close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell to back down to earth. Right Tails?"
Sonic said "In fact, I want to talk to this Cornellow guy myself. May I?" Amy nodded with a non-trusting look as she led them into a hallway.
The hallway was long and bright and at the end of it there was a big bulky door made of rock with strange symbols carved into it, and was guarded by two men wearing white robes and another decked in black just like the priest they saw before. The men at the door kindly opened the door and followed into the chamber.
"Ah, Amy are you wishing to see father Cornellow?" said the man in black leading them deeper into the chambers.
"Yes, I wish to show these two to the light." said Amy
"Well then," he said with an evil tone. "Lets make this quick." The man pulled out a gun and pointed it towards Tails as two men held back Amy and Sonic.
"Brother Gray, what's going on?" Amy said with fear.
"These men are evil." he said with a stern look. "This is the will of god." Suddenly a blue blur knocked out the two guards holding back the hedgehogs.
"Ha, still the fastest." Sonic told himself as Tails took a swift but heavy punch at the man in black. He fell to the ground dropping the gun and it slid over to Amy's feet.
"What is going on?" said a hearty voice in the back of the chambers. Suddenly two torches lit up to revel the priest who they had saw early standing on a stage against the back wall. "Ah, the Full Metal Alchemist, what brings you here? My disciples have been misled, please forgive them."
"Yeah right!" said Sonic " You probably were the one who misled them."
"Are you here because of the light?"
"No, I'm here because me and my bro have been wandering why your using alchemy to trick these people."
"That is preposterous, could alchemy make something out of nothing?" he said snapping his fingers as a small statue appeared in his hands. Amy's face lit up with that "I told you so!" look on her face.
"Yeah, I was thinking about that. How can he do that, make objects out of nothing, ignoring all the laws of alchemy. But if you'd happen to get a object that could do the impossible, something like, oh I don't know, the Chaos Emerald? That ring on your finger, that's it, isn't it?" he said walking forward towards Cornellow.
"The ring has nothing to do with this. I am gods servant and-"
"Look, either you give to me, or I beat you so hard that you'll have to give to me. Your choice." Sonic interrupted and cracking his knuckles.
"Hm, looks like you still don't believe. Amy." The Father said as Amy looked up from her puzzled state.
"Yes Father?"
"Pick up that gun there."
"Uh, ok." she said unsure. She bent down and picked up the gun slowly.
"Now shoot the Full Metal Alchemist." The two boy spun around and looked at Amy.
"Father," she said in disbelief. "I-I can't do that."
"This is the will of god." He reminded her. "Do you dare disobey him? Besides, do you remember who comforted you when your brother died last year? And do you remember my promise?"
"You said you would bring him back!" she said in a wavering still in fear and disbelief. She pointed the gun at Tails.
"No wait, I'm not the Full Metal Alchemist." said Tails pointing at Sonic. They all looked over at the blue hedgehog.
"I'm the Full Metal Alchemist! Sonic the Hedgehog! Doesn't anybody know that?!" he screamed throwing a fit.
"Still, fire Amy!" screamed the priest. She closed her eyes and fire the gun hitting Tails square in the head. The helmet flew in the and fell to the ground along with the armor. Tears pored out of her eyes. Sonic looked at the girl with a stern look.
"Good, now shoot the other one." Amy looked at the father the closed her again shaking. Sonic face turned into a panicked look he tried to run but it was to late. Two shots rang out hitting him in the arm. He fell to the floor then got back up as well as the suit of armor grabbing the helmet.
"But, but, but" she shuddered.
"Impossible!" yelled Cornellow.
"Don't worry we're fine." said Sonic pulling up his coat to revel a metal arm. "Fake, see?"
"But what about..." she asked almost about to break down.
"Tails?" he finished for her. "He's pretty solid." Tails bent down to show the hollow space within the armor.
"No harm done." Tails said putting back on the helmet. She put her body against wall, trying to get as far away from them as possible.
"Your arm, a Bother trapped in armor." said the Father "It all makes sense now. You did the ancient taboo. Amy, these fools has paid for there sins. They did human transmutation, bring the dead back to life." Amy gasped and remembered what Sonic had said earlier
"He got to close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell to back down to earth." echoed the voice in her head.
"This what happens when you try to bring the dead back," Sonic said showing her his arm. "Is this what you want Amy?" she didn't answer.
"So this is the great Sonic the Hedgehog, not even half a hedgehog. Now I see why they call you the Full Metal Alchemist!"
Sorry it took so long guys. School is killing me.
