I am writing this for a fan of mine called Animebella09.
A request came to me from Key of fate saying that I should make this chapter a little longer and have more detail, so I could try at that. I also put the Lior adventure in this chapter and also Sora starts to find out that this world is really his birth world as he has memories of his forgotten past in it. I'm also making Sora and Riza Hawkeye have a little brother/big sister relationship and it turns out that their actually related and Ametris is actually Sora's home world. So, hope you like it.
Chapter 3: Past life and a false prophet.
Last time: Ed, Sora, Korra and Al arrived at the town that was already deserted by the time they got there. They were called to come back to Central but then they had a little trouble with train hijackers and an ex-military policeman named Genz, the armour-piercing alchemist. After a while of fighting, they finally managed to beat him but after an insult by Genz, Sora & Ed accidently caused a cave-in in the tunnel! Luckily, the train only had minor damage and was able to go through the tunnel and make it back to Central. Colonel Roy Mustang told them not to cause damage like that again and apologized for wasting their time by sending them to the deserted town. Everyone got home and was able to get some rest. After a lot of scolding about the whole train thing by Riza, Sora was able to have dinner.
Opening theme: Get off of my back by Bryan Adams.
Sora, Ed and Korra stare into space and raise their hands up in the air reviling Sora and Korra's alchemy gloves and Ed's automail hand.
Korra puts on her alchemy boots before walking out the door and scratching her shoulder.
Sora and Riza stand back to back and behind them is a photo of them both at a younger age with parents.
"Oh, If you wanna have a go, I just wanna let you knooow,"-Enemies surround our heroes but they clap their hands and transmute things and fight back.
"Yeah, Get off of my back and into my gain,"-Sora transmuted his Keyblade into a big Gunblade and starts swinging and shooting around.-"I think it's time you better face the fact,"-Sora gets ready to punch,-"Get off of my back!"-Sora punches the screen and fades to black.
"Oh, If you wanna have a go, I just wanna let you knooow,"-Ed and Al help Donald, Goofy, Mako, Bolin, Riku and Kairi find Sora and Korra.
"Oh, Get off,"-Ed's face appears,-"Get off,"-Sora's face comes next,-"Oh, Get off of my back,"-Korra's comes last.
Sora and Ed fight Heartless and Golems and then come face to face with Xehanort.
Sora screams out loud as he claps his hands and transmutes a giant sword and a beam of light shoots out of it.
All three of them run together and spar with each other.
"Get off, get off, get off, get off, get off, get off,"- The title shows up on the screen.-"Get off of my Back!"
Sora ate his dinner Riza made for him; he helped wash the dishes and then, when finished, went to the living room to read a book about adventure. Riza looked at him and then said to him, "Sora, why don't you read something more fact then fiction? You'll learn more about this world that way." Sora thought about it for a quick while then came up with his answer. "Because my life is adventure, Lieutenant. I like to read about heroes so I can be like them!" "I see. And please, don't call me lieutenant at home. Just Riza is fine. But um-you can-uh," Riza stuttered as she began to blush. "You can call me 'Big sis' if you want." Sora looked at her all shocked and a little bit embarrassed as he too began to blush. "What? But why?" "Cause I always wanted a little brother." Sora then thought about it then agreed. "Okay, if you want me to." Riza was surprised at Sora who too wanted a sibling back on Destiny Islands. She came to him and started to hug him tightly then whispered something to him, "Don't say anything to anyone!" "(gasp) don't worry! (Gasp) I won't!" After a time of reading, Sora went to bed and before going to sleep, he thought how he liked this world so far and how strangely familiar it seemed.
In Sora's dreams…
"Hey, Big sis! Look what I've found!" A young boy cried out to a teenaged girl with glasses and long blond hair. She looked at what the boy found; a heart shaped sea-shell, and then spoke to him, "Okay, now come on Sora, Mom is waiting for us." "Okeydokey!"
A storm came down and the two stood near a transmutation circle and nodded to each other. "Okay Sora, you ready to bring Mom and Dad back?" "Yep!" They activated the circle and had smiles on their faces. But those smiles soon turn into faces of fear, for the room went form bright light to pitch black! Little arms then started to touch the girl's hair and eyes, then they started to disappear and she started screaming for help while the boy's foot started to disappear and screamed in horror! The girl tried to calm him down and protect him, but she started to lose her sight! "I can't see! Help!" The boy then shouted out, "Don't do this to her! Please! Give her back her sight! I'd give anything for her to see! Anything!" The girl's sight came back! But at a price! The boy started to vanish into thin air! The circle opened up as a portal to an island and the boy was being pulled through. "Help! Whe-where am I? Who are you?" The girl looked shocked at that last part. She tried to reach out and crab his hand but just when she was about to hold it, he disappeared completely. She was alone. "No. He can't be gone! Aaarrgghhh!" She screamed out loud as tears ran down her cheeks.
Sora woke up and seemed shocked as he remembered his life of his real home. When he came down the stairs, he saw Riza with shocked expression on her face. She turned and looked at him then ran towards him and hugged him with tears falling. "I remember! I have you again! Welcome home, Sora, Little brother!" Tears started to form in Sora's eyes and then he cried silently as he was happy to remember his own big sister!
A few days later, after explaining his past life to his friends…
"So, when we tried to bring them back, she almost lost her sight." Sora told them with sorrow in his voice, "I was able to get her sight back, but in exchange; I got sent to Destiny Islands and lost my memory of my family in the process." Then he felt someone hug him and when he looked up, he saw Kairi with tears in her eyes, "Sora, I'm so happy for you. You found your sister and you're finally home!" "Thanks Kairi! Now, I've got something to say, when our travels are finished, I want to stay here!" "But what about the islands and our friends?" "Tell them that I found my true home and I'm happy here." Kairi then started to understand because she found out that her true home world is the Radiant Garden and soon, everyone else agreed so their friend could be happy.
Later in the office…
"Well, I'm glad that Lieutenant Hawkeye has finally found her lost sibling, but now we have a job for you three!" said Roy Mustang with a stern tone in his voice. "You may bring one comrade each to provide you with either help or health care. Your real first mission is in a place called Lior, a place of religion. It is said that a prophet has the power of the gods." The three of them wanted to hear what that power was, as the colonel was about to mention it, "The power to resurrect the dead!" All were shocked at this information, because it was impossible to bring back what's dead! "Go and see if this rumour is true or not. If it is, then do whatever it takes to stop this power before it gets out of hand! If it isn't, then come back to HQ and report!" "YES SIR!"
Sora then walked up to his friends and explained their mission. "Hey Riku, would you like to come with me? You're pretty strong and it's been a long time since we've done something together." Riku then agreed and thanked him for choosing him to come. "Thank lord! Now I finally get some time away from that Armstrong guy (shutters)" Kairi glared at Riku for being the one to go for two reasons; 1: For being with Sora all day. 2: For managing to get away from Major Armstrong. "Curse you, Riku! I'll get you for this!"
Lior, Fountain plaza.
They walked to the plaza and stopped to have a chat about their mission. Ed started the conversation, "Well, here we are. The desert city of Lior. I hear that the people here are all followers of the sun god Leto." Sora joined in on the subject, "So, these 'miracles', Do you think it's just alchemy?" "Yep. That pretty much fits the bill. Still, being able to resurrect the dead through alchemy seems a little far-fetched." "You think it's got something to do with that legendary 'Philosophers stone'?" "That what Ed thinks. Right, brother?" Korra looked confused. She still had lots to learn about this world and its legends. "What's that?" Sora explained it to her, "It's this powerful red stone that has the power to ignore the laws of Equivalent Exchange. With it, you can do anything. Even bring back the dead! Even reverse any mistake in any failed attempts to resurrect the dead through alchemy!" "I see. Well, why don't we see word to this 'prophet'?" They all agreed, "Good idea! Let's go!"
They walked to a café stand while Ed's stomach growled, "I guess I'm hungry. Come on; let's go get something to eat." They ate their food while Korra told them about her world, about bending the elements, her being the Avatar and how she came to this world. She was wondering around the town to stop the Anti-Bending group from harming Katara and her home. She and her friends were about to attack when a flash of light came and then vanished and the next thing they knew, they were in a strange place where their bending didn't work anymore. Suddenly, a broadcast came on, "Children of god who live on this land, Pray in faith that ye may be saved!" Al asked, "Is this some kind of religious broadcast?" "I am the sun god's commissary!" Ed seemed confused, "God's commissary? If this is a comedy show, no one's laughing! Who is that?" A random customer heard Ed's question then answered, "Why that's Father Cornello." Sora and Riku both asked, "Who's that?" The town's people murmured things about their question. The shop owner asked, "You're kidding me! You've never heard of the great prophet Cornello?!" "Should we have?" "He performs miracles! I've never seen anything like it! It's God's work, for sure!"
Ed thought for a short while then asked, "So mister, how can we get an audience with this guy?" The customer answered, "He's always at the temple. Just go straight ahead and you're there!" "Well, no point sitting around with that information. Guys, you ready to split?" "Yep!" "Uh-uh! Up and at em!" (Crack!) Where Al stood up, his head/helmet hit the ceiling and knocked the radio off and broke it into lots of pieces. The shop owner screamed in frustration, "Aaarrgghhh! My-my radio! Gggrrr! Now you've done it, buddy! What do you expect, wearing a tin suit like that!?" Korra then said, "Don't bust a lung, Grandpa. We can fix it." Sora then gathered all of the pieces together and clapped his hands together then put them on the radio. Then a flash of light and blue electricity started and stopped quickly and the radio was fixed as if it was never broken to begin with! The town's people were shocked and surprised at this. "It's really a land of prophets! You're buddy can work miracles like Cornello!" Sora shook his head. "It's not that. It's science. We're alchemists." "We're Sora Hawkeye, Korra and the Elric brothers! Not to brag or anything but we're pretty well known!" In the dark corner, a mysterious man sounded shocked when hearing who they are, "…" The shop owner realized, "Oh, the Elric brothers! I've heard of you guys before!" "The older brother is the state alchemist, the Fullmetal alchemist, Edward Elric! And one of them is the newest state alchemist, the Light alchemist, Sora Hawkeye!" The crowd were surprised to hear this, all looking at Al and Riku. "Now I get why you're called 'Fullmetal', because of the suit of armour!" "I never thought the Light alchemist would seem so strong!" "I love you're Gray hair, Mr Light alchemist!" "Are you hot in that armour, Mr Elric?"
Riku and Al sweet dropped and pointed to Sora and Ed. "Thanks for the attention but…" Al continued the sentence, "…it's not us…" Then both finished their explanation, "…it's them." Sora and Ed had mad faces on them. "Huh? You mean that weakling and that little shorty?" Uh oh!
"WHO'RE YOU CALLIN A WEAK BIRD WHO CAN'T EVEN FLY?!"
"WHO'RE YOU CALLIN A TINY BEAN SPROUT?!"
"I'm Sora's friend, Riku." "And I'm Alponse Elric, the younger brother." "Oh. So sorry sirs." Sora and Ed grumbled and mumbled then said to their comrades, "Come on, guys. Let go!" Then the same mysterious man wondered as he saw them walk by, thinking out loud. "Hm, so now we know you have a last name, Keyblade wielder. State alchemist, Sora Hawkeye. Master Xehanort will be pleased if I give him this information. These followers don't seem to fond state alchemists so it would be such a shame if these people found out their here. Hehehe…"
Much later…
"You! You're the state alchemists, dogs of the military, right?" A strange man that looked like a religious person asked them who they were. Ed looked annoyed with them. "So what? Who wants to know? Sorry to disappoint you, but we don't do autograph's!" "You attempt to see Father Cornello will not come true, I'm afraid. Because we are to see that you all meet your makers! So is the will of Leto! Attack!"
After a while of fighting off the Leto followers…
They were all about to cause another fight when… "Wait! Why are you ganging up on these poor people? Repent! Before Leto punishes you all for your sins!" said a young lady who had white dress and pink bangs on the front of her brown hair. The men seemed surprised to see her and the leader mumbled, "What bad timing to run into Rose. Retreat!" "Wait! Don't you one of apology to these people? Wait, I said!" "Um, it's okay miss," Sora spoke to her, "We're alright." Ed looked stubborn to say 'hi'. "Ha. Some welcome wagon. Is it in the book of Leto to pick on strangers?" Sora gave Ed an anger stare while Al thought about what Ed just said. "They did ask if you guys were state alchemists. Could that be why they ganged up on us?" Riku gave it a thought. "Could be. In fact, it sounded more like they were given orders to do this. And not by this 'Leto', of course." The woman gasp at that last part but then shock her head and looked angry at them. "Stop with this nonsense! Violence is not in Leto's teachings! Maybe if you come with me to the prophet's ceremony, you could see that lying about Leto's ways is not a good thing to do!" Ed seemed to be a little interested in the woman's invitation, "Will Father Cornello be there?" "Well, he is the town's prophet after all. So, yes! Of course he will!" Then all of them gave each other a smile as they know this was a ticket to the secret of the 'miracles'. "In that case, I'll accept your invitation and see this 'gathering'." "Oh good! Oh, where are my manners? My name is Rose. Nice to meet you!" "I'm Sora. This is my best friend, Riku. This is Korra, Al and Ed."
Later…
In a huge crowd of people, the alchemists saw a man with a stick and a robe. Al wondered, "So all of these people are followers of Leto?" Rose answered the younger sibling's question, "Yes. It's so wonderful to wake up every morning with a smile, knowing there is faith and hope! If you show him you're grateful, I bet he can make you two stronger and taller!"
Both Sora & Ed: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!
Korra and Riku laughed at this while Al calmed them down. Then the man on stage began to do something and everyone fell into complete silence. Our heroes watched the whole thing to see what this 'prophet' can do. Then the man put a dead bird on the ground and a bright red light shone through the corpse and when it vanished, the bird began to move and fly away. "I am God's commissary!" he cried. The crowd then cheered out loud then scattered out over the town. Ed, Al, Sora, Riku and Korra whispered so Rose couldn't hear, "So guys, what you think?" "Well, it's pretty obvious, Sora. He's using alchemy." Rose thought she heard them say something. "Hm? Did you say something?" Ed turned to her and quickly winked at his comrades to let them know that the plan is setting in motion. "Nope. Nothing. And you know what Rose, me and my friends really want to see the prophet in person, please!" Sora looked board and thought, Come on Ed, that's not gonna work. "Yes! Of course! I'll take you all there!" I can't believe that actually worked!
In the temple…
Rose was washing the shrine of the temple while Sora, Ed and Riku sat in the seats while Korra and Al secretly hid behind the doors. Ed asked her while she was polishing, "So if you clean and be good enough, something or something will come back to life?" Rose stopped and answered, "Something like that." Sora then took out a book, opened it and quickly read it and closed it and put it back in his brown coat then said what he memorized, "This is what my book said; Water, 35 leaders, Carbon, 20 kilograms, Ammonia, 4 leaders, Lime, 1.5 kilograms, Phosphorous, 800 grams, Salt, 250 grams, Sulfur, 80 grams, Florine, 7.5, Iron, 5, Silicon, 3 grams and trace amounts of fifteen other elements!" Riku looked surprised at what Sora just said and wondered, "Wow Sora, I never knew you had the intelligence of an alchemist!" "When I was little, before I came to the Islands, Riza and I had studied a lot on alchemy and science." Rose interrupted the conversation between them and asked Sora, "What was that you just said?" "The ingredients of the adult human body, right down to the very last speck of protein in your eyelashes. To this day, science has given us the official breakdown but has never succeeded in creating life or bringing back life. In all of my adventures, visiting other worlds," "Worlds? You mean you came from another?" Sora ignored her question and continued, "There hasn't been one single magic, in any form, that can bring back the dead. If that magic can't do it and this world's science couldn't figure it out, what makes you think that Cornello's smoke and mirrors do it?" Ed continued Sora's speech, "And in case Rose, all that ingredients can be bought on a child's allowance. There's no magic behind that." Rose then started to get mad and shouted, "Well, there's no magic on this 'world' then you bring someone back to life!" Sora then got up and walked over to the shrine and looked at it, thinking while continuing his explanation. "Believe me Rose; even though I too have control of some real magic, to me, science and alchemy are everything! We humans are closest thing to God so we better make the most of it and keep on hoping for light and freedom." He said with hope in his voice that was so convincing, it made Riku and Ed think that there truly is a way for the better. But still, Rose wasn't convinced. She gave Sora a hateful glare and spoke to him in the most hateful way, "You're not a god! You're not even close to him! All you alchemists ever think of is your precious science and alchemy!" "Not true Rose. We do think of other things. Also, maybe if I'm not close to him. But neither is the sun, it's just a bunch of nitrogen. Get too close to it and all you'll get is burned up!"
(BANG!)
The group turned around and saw Korra being held hostage and Al's body on the ground with his helmet on the floor. Sora and Riku were shocked to find Al dead then Ed shouted, "Al! Al! What are doing, you sickos!" Rose was shocked stiff and asked the man who was apparently leader of the group. "Gray! What are you doing?!" "Rose, Father Cornello gave the word. The heavens have fallen on these non-believers. It is Leto's will!"
"Wow. Your god is mean."
All except Ed were shocked hear Al's voice then his body started to get up and beat up the men holding Korra hostage to free her. When Al turned to the team, they saw him, headless! Nothing in there but a blood symbol on the side of the neck. Ed picked up Al's head and threw it to Al while it hit Gray and knocked him out then Al caught it and put it on. Sora, Riku and Korra were shocked out of their minds but Rose was terrified of them as she started to back away from them. "You're e...Empty? No one inside? I…I don't understand!" "This is my punishment for stepping foot on holy ground. We made a mistake and we're paying for it…" Sora's eyes widened at that 'punishment on holy ground' part, he knew the Elrics did a human transmutation act too so he understood them. "…Both of us are." Rose was more scared, "Edward too?" Sora then took his right shoe of to show them his foot, "Me too." Everyone except Riku gasped as they saw a wooden right foot, moving like a real foot. He then put the shoe back on. Rose ran away and screamed, "MONSTERS! ALL OF YOU!" She ran out of the room and just as Ed tried to follow her, Korra held him and shock her head then told them to find the prophet.
Later after a while of finding the prophet…
They had finally found Cornello and walked up to him. He saw them then spoke, "Good evening, my children! What brings you here?" Ed answered back, "I'll tell you what, that philosophers stone!" The fake prophet then smiled and chuckled, "So the military see's through everything. Indeed. This stone is the power of my miracles!" "Hand over that stone and we'll keep quiet about this!" Riku said as he drew out his 'Way to dawn' Keyblade and got ready to fight. Then Cornello laughed out loud and said to them, "That's utterly absurd! Those people are my most faithful servants! Do you think they'll listen to you?" "Spare me the self-righteousness! Now I feel sorry for the people who believed in you!" "Those fools don't realize that my miracles are nothing but alchemy. The only use I have for them is merely as pawns for war!"
"Father! Is that true?!"
Rose came out of the corner in the shadows with a shocked expression on her face. The sadness, the betrayal and the anguish! Cornello knew at that moment, he was in a load of trouble. "Are you saying that you're not going to grant me my wishes through your miracles? Is Cane, my lost love, not really coming back from the dead?" "…" Sora, Riku, Korra, Ed and Al then all understood her wish to have her dead lover back. Sora's wooden right foot then twitched at that very thought, knowing how hard it is to lose someone close to you. "True, I am not a commissary of God. But with this stone, I can revive your fallen love!" "(Gasp!)" "Rose!" Al called, "Don't listen to him!" Rose walked up to Cornello by his side, feeling sorry for her friends. "I'm sorry. But this is the only hope I have." Sora looked at her, "Rose." Cornello then pulled a switch and the gates at the wall opened, letting out a beast with the tail of a lizard and the body of a lion! It growled at them hungrily. "This stone can create creatures such as this! Mince them, my chimera!" The chimera charged at Ed and started biting his arm. But Ed didn't seem to flinch, not one bit. "What's the matter? Can't get a good enough taste?" Then he kicked it over to the walls, leaving Cornello and Rose in shock! Ed then spoke to Rose "Rose, don't look away!" He then ripped off his shoulder piece, revealing a mechanical arm! Sora then took off his right shoe and showing his wooden foot to them. "This is what happens when you try to bring a human back to life! When you step into God's territory!"
Cornello finally understood his enemies now, "Wooden foot, empty suit of armour, mechanical limbs, and your automail! Now I understand you! You are the Fullmetal! THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!"
To Be Continued…
Omake 1
Ed: Hey Al, what's with the book?
Al: It's a manga called Monster hunter orage. It's made by the makers of Fairy tail.
Sora: Oh yeah! I think I remember that. Hey Aceman94, where did you get that manga?
Aceman94: I got that for my birthday! Oh! And thanks for letting me borrow your…Roy Mustang pen.
Sora: That's not mine, it's my sister's.
Aceman94: Oh. So she does like Roy. I've always wondered.
Winry: But won't she get mad?
Aceman94 & Sora: Oh.
Riza: SORA! You stole my pen!
(Riza grabs Sora by the ear and pulls him out of the room)
Sora: No! Please, big sis! I won't do it again!
