I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.

This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed.

And please feel free to comment and or give suggestion

POV ROY

I was sitting in the General's office in East City. I just got back from a week in central. He set up the chest board and I sat down across from him.

"There has been an order for a transfer." He informs me. I wasn't expecting this especially after a week off of work. "You will be working in Central starting next week." He finished. He took one of my pieces. "It'll be lonely here, you've been quite interesting."

"Not as much as the stories of when you where young." I responded. I new the politics of this game, stay on the higher ups good side. We played in silence for a while.

"Thanks to your hard work, you made my job easier." He complemented me. We played back in forth in both words and moves. Until finally

"Check mate." I won. "I finally beat you." I was a well deserved win. As I left his office he tried once again to get me to marry his Granddaughter. I kindly denied him. "Speaking of special I have some subordinates that I want to take with me." He handed me his chess board.

"Yep take them it's okay." And with that I left his office to gather my men.

POV ED

We left the library later then intended.

"Come on Al we have to get home soon, I'm not going to screw up this chance with teacher." I said remembering the fight earlier. I disappointed teacher and I didn't want to make her angrier with me, on the brighter side she forgave Al. We took a short cut hopping it would shorten our time when a beggar came up to us asking for money. He looked almost like he was part reptile be that was impossible so I dismissed it. We turned the other direction and started running and the beggar chased us claiming he knew us.

"You transmuted your brothers soul right?" He asked. That made me stop running I looked at him and kicked him in the face. He got back up for more taunting me so I threw a trash can in his face. 'This guy just keeps coming back for more.' I thought in my head between beatings. I was going to go for one more blow but Al stopped me giving the man a chance to knock his head off. After seeing his empty inside he took off. 'He has a tail!' I was a bit disgusted by that. He took that opportunity to run. I looked at Al.

"What was that?"

"Fuck!" I yelled one morning. I started running around the house getting dressed and packing my things.

"What's wrong Ed?" Al questioned me. It has been a day or two since we first came to Dublith and Izumi was still ignoring me.

"I forgot this year's assessment. I have to go to headquarters and present what I have done." I was pulling on my jacket.

"The southern headquarters is closer then the Central one sister."

"Okay I'll be back within 2-3 days" I waved and ran out that door.

When I finally got there the assessment was already due so no matter what I did it was going to be late. When I was trying to find the technique assessment department when I ran into Armstrong.

"Young Elric! Come with me and I will show you to where you need to go." He said sparkles flying everywhere. Apparently Armstrong was escorting the Fuhrer on his inspection of Southern Headquarters, 'just my luck.' I thought.

"You came here for your assessment let me see that." He took my assessment and approved it. "So you here to cause the South trouble?" He asked me.

"No sir I'm here to visit my Alchemy teacher." The Fuhrer gave me a look like he was thinking about something.

"Okay then that will be all." And he sent me out of the room. I got back on the first train to Dublith and apparently do did the Fuhrer. They followed me here to meet my teacher. I lead them to the building so they could deal with Sig, while I snuck around back to give Izumi a warning.

"Hey where's Alphonse?" I questioned he wasn't there.

"Oh he was kidnapped. They don't want a ransom they want to know about the soul transmutation that you did. Also the man called Greed had an uroborus tattooed onto his hand." She finished.

"Okay I'll have Al back in time for dinner." I told her and left to go find Al.

I walked straight through the bar and down to where he was holding Alphonse. There was a man in sunglasses and fur in this weather.

"You're Greed" I said and it wasn't a question I was here to get my little brother and leave.

"You're the one called Edward Elric?"

"Yes I am. So you're a homunculus. How do I know you're not lying?" I was calling him out.

"My policy is to never lie. I want to know about the transmutation of his soul in exchange for information regarding homunculus. Equal trade right?" He smirked at me. I took it well and by well I mean I yelled at him for two minuets straight.

"You will not get Equal trade!" I finished. He sent his lackey after me. I beat him easily then moved onto Greed before the other man could take Al away. I brought my blade out. "Next?" I charged Greed he held out his hand, my blade should have gone through it but it didn't it just rebounded off of his hand. We fought and his hand kept blocking my blade from hitting him. I got my legs around his neck and threw his body to the ground. I felt his skull crack open. After a second he stood back up. 'What the hell?' He lunged at me while I was stunned. He scratched my stomach where the stitches were recently.

"Do you think you can beat me?" He questioned. "The deal is still on the table, and you being injured might be the better choice."

"You can't be immortal. I'll just keep beating you and get my bother back." He took off his coat and his shield spread across his body.

"I told you. You won't be able to lay a scratch on me. I took a breath and prepared to fight a man who couldn't die.

Hi guys I'm back sorry for the late posts but I work during the morning and if I want to do anything other then this I haven't been able to work on it during the day.

I'll see you later back in the Devil's Nest.
