DISCLAIMER:
OBVIOUSLY I DON’T OWN FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, OR ELSE ROY AND ED WOULD BE LONG OUT OF THE CLOSET AND HUGHES (SNIFF SNIFF) WOULD SOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT BE DEAD. I DO NOT PROFIT MONETARILY FROM THIS CREATIVE GENIUS OF MINE, MORE\'S THE PITY. THE ONLY CHARACTERS THAT I DO OWN (OR ARE ON LOAN FROM THE OWNER) ARE ISIRIUS (MINE) AND MOON (MY BETA). IF YOU NEED TO BLAME SOMEONE FOR ANY OF THE CONTENT IN THIS STORY PLEASE WRITE TO: CAT THE HENTAI MUSE C/O FYRNISIS@HOTMAIL.COM. HE PROBABLY WON\'T ANSWER THOUGH. HE HATES BEING WOKEN UP.
Isirius: Yay! My first fanfic! Yay! (dances in circles)
Roy: yeah, yeah, lets get on with it. I’ve got a date in 20 and you’re going to make me late.
Isirius: A date?!? A date?!? On my big premier? How could you! You heartless womanizer! Degraded old man!
Roy: WHO THE HELL YOU CALLIN’ OLD? YOU WORTHLESS HAG! I’LL SKIN YOU ALIVE AND MAKE YOU MY BOOTS! I’M IN THE PRIME OF MY LIFE!
Ed: yeah, right, you and my grandpa. Can you shut up so we can get on with this? I have work to do.
Isirius: thank you my sweet Edo munchkin.
Ed: WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING SMALLER THAN THE TINIEST FLEA CRUSHED UNDER THE SMALLEST BLADE OF GRASS YOU OVERBEARING COW! I’LL DESTROY YOU!
Isirius: (rivers of tears) waah! Roy, Edo yelled at me!
Roy/Ed: SHUT UP AND WRITE!
Isirius: so without further adeu…
Of course, for the purposes of my story I had to resurrect Hughes from that bitter end, and since I’ve only seen up to episode 25 where he dies I can do this with no ill effects to my conscience. The story will digress from the original plot (excepting of course that Edo does eventually get the bad guy in the original) and takes place years later after Ed has reached 20. Hughes was still shot, but he was lucky and the bullet didn’t kill him immediately. He was found soon enough to get to the emergency room, and is up and around again soon after. He got the info to Roy and Ed and they all ganged up on the bad guys. Happy ending, goodbye Homonculi (never liked them anyway) and Ed and Al are free to look for the stone some more.
So we start out with the boys at 20 and 19 in Winry’s basement where they are now prepared to try out the culmination of their efforts….
Chapter 1: Unpredictable Consequences
“Alright Al, lay down in the center. Don’t touch that symbol… there, perfect. Now, hang on a second… Here goes nothing!”
Bright flashes of light swirled around the room, electric crackles filling the air. The circle glowed so brightly it was blinding. Edward felt his body burning from the power flowing through it, sharp pain at all his nerve endings. Al was screaming in the center of the circle, and between bouts of blindness and nausea he saw the armor glowing like a nuclear power plant. Then something hit him.
All of a sudden, it stopped. Al lay motionless, the glow of his eyes snuffed…
“Brother?” came a weak voice from the armor. The central body rolled a little, the breastplate jiggling to the side. A hand reached out pushing the plate away, and Al stuck his head out into the world like a baby chick fresh from it’s shell. His golden brown eyes blinked in the dimness of the room, his hands slowly rising in front of his face.
“Brother…” he whispered, “Brother, it worked…” his voice rising as he spoke “Ed, it worked! Ed, Brother, it worked! Brother… Brother?” he looked to where Edward had been and saw a large black scorch mark. “Brother! Where are you?! Brother!”
He heard a groan against the wall and scrambled to his feet, falling right back down again. It had been so many years since he had had flesh, the best he could manage was a crawl. He pushed at the books that had fallen on Ed, digging as fast as he could. Ed was moaning louder, and as Al pushed the books away he saw that he was clutching his stomach with pain written on his face. “Brother, what’s wrong? What’s happening?”
“Al… I…” was all he got out before he fainted away.

Winry paced outside the door while the doctor was examining Ed. Al, though mentally 19 years old, now had his original 10 year old body back. The second he had come through the door wearing a pair of Ed’s pants tightly belted around his thin hips and dragging Ed she had gawked at the man/child, unable to believe her eyes. They initially hadn’t known what to tell the doctor, but Pinako had come in just in time and said he was her nephew visiting for the month. Al had received a full physical and a clean bill of health before the doctor started on Ed.
He’d been in there 2 hours.
Finally, just as Winry and Al had about had it with waiting, the doctor came out pale and sweating. “It’s…” he stammered “It’s just amazing…. Impossible….”

“Al…” Ed called his brother softly, “Al I want you to do something for me.”
“What is it brother?”
“I want you to take this to Mustang. I’m not… I’m not going back.” He held out a box, inside were Ed’s watch and a letter of resignation.
“What do you mean you’re not going back?! They might be able to help! You need to talk to them about this. We can fix it! We just need to look for a solution.”
“No Al, no more fixing things. We only barely managed to get you back… no more. We’re not going to chance losing what we’ve gained. And I just… I can’t go back… like this.”
“No Brother! It will work out! We can do this!”
“I said no Al! I’m not going to chance this happening to you! You’ve got enough trouble ahead of you with your body still so young. This is the end Al. No more cures, no more searching, and no more military. We’re done.”
Al hung his small head, his fists clenched. “No Ed, we’re not. I’m not. I said I’d get you back to normal, and now I just have to work a little harder. We still have to get you’re arm and leg back, and now we have this to fix. And I will fix it Ed. If I have to become a State Alchemist myself, I’ll fix it. You’re not sacrificing yourself for me.”
Ed was silent. He knew what Al was feeling. He had felt it himself for so many years. “Alright Al… you go, do what you have to. But I’m not going back. I just can’t face them… not like… like this…”
“Brother,” Al’s voice cracked, “I understand, Brother. I’ll fix things.”
“Al… just be careful. Don’t do anything to foolish.”
“Don’t worry Brother, I can take care of myself. Don’t worry.”
With that, he picked up the box and left to start packing to go. As he closed the door, he faintly heard Ed whispering: “But I do worry.”
