Fullmetal Homunculus

 

Forgotten Time

 

Darkness. That's all he saw. It surrounded him. It consumed him. It's all he has seen. Had he been there forever? Or was there no time in this place? He didn't know, even though he wished he could. But he did know that there was another world out there, beyond the dark. He knew because of the faces that appeared before him. They would come from the dark and watch him, mock him. Taunting him about an unknown world, a world they said he can never go to. A world of light. He hated them. He hated him with all he had. He'd show them. He'd escape the darkness, and enter the world of light…

Alphonse watched the trees pass by like a blur in oblivion. The sound of the train had faded away in his thoughts, as if it were a dream. But had this been a dream? Alphonse Elric, the third son of Hohenheim Elric, second son of Trisha Elric, and the younger brother of Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist. His brother… Many had thought he had died, but Al knew better. He had disappeared, sacrificed himself to bring Alphonse back in his real body, but no one knows what happened to him, not even Al, but he was positive he was alive. He didn't know how, but he knew, and was determined to find him. The problem was, he couldn't remember anything beyond the moment they tried to resurrect Mother. He was told what had happened over the four years that followed, how his soul was attached to a suit of armor, and his brother became a state alchemist, and how they went looking for the Philosopher's Stone. But that told him almost nothing. The only people who really knew what happen were him and his brother. Everyone else only knew half the story. It had been a year since his brother's disappearance. During that time he had been training under Izumi, but recently her condition had worsened, and she could no longer train Al. For the last three months, Al had searched for his brother and found nothing. He began to think it was all hopeless.

“So Al, what do you think?”

Al was shaken away from his thoughts and found Winry staring at him.

“Al, what do you think?” Winry repeated.

“…Huh?” Al was oblivious to what was going on.

“What do mean `huh', didn't you hear what I said!” Winry was getting angry. That's not good.

Al shook his head nervously, hoping Winry didn't have her hammer around. “N-no, sorry, I was thinking about brother.”

Winry calmed down and a look of sorrow crossed her faced. “You're still looking for your brother, aren't you?”

Al nodded, feeling guilty for reminding Winry of what happened.

“Do you think he's alive?” Winry asked with hope in her eyes.

“I'm not sure anymore.” Al said looking down at the floor. “It's been three months, I would have found him by now.”

“Hey cheer up, it took you and Ed four years to find the Philosopher's Stone. You think it's only gonna take you a few months to find Ed? Uh uh, I don't think so.”

“But Winry, the Philosopher's Stone was something that people thought was just a myth, plus it had to be created. Ed is a real person, and almost everyone knows who he is. You would think someone has found him and told someone else about it.”

Winry sighed. Al did have a point. No one that famous could be living somewhere in secret. But you never know. “Al, don't give up hope. He may be still out there.”

Al looked out the window again, as if expecting his brother to be out there. “Maybe your right, maybe he's out there…somewhere.”

Winry smiled. At least he had some hope. But he needed a little more. “Here Al, Happy Birthday.” She pulled out a small box from her pocket.

Al was a little perplexed by the sudden change of subject. “What?”

“Come on Al it's your birthday remember?”

He did suddenly remember. It was his eleventh birthday…again. “Oh yea it is my birthday, how did I forget?” he said grinning while scratching the back of his head.

Winry sweat dropped. “Here Al just open this.”

Al took the box from Winry and looked at it questionably.

“Just open it Al.” Winry was getting annoyed again.

Al quickly opened it in fear of Winry, but froze at what he saw inside. Ed's pocket watch. “Where did you get this?”

“Maria sent it to me. She said she found it in Lior.” Winry saw Al was in a semi-state of shock. “I didn't want to give it to you at first, I thought you already had enough on your mind.”

Al looked at Winry, but couldn't say anything. Was she thinking he was dead?

Winry saw this and knew what he was thinking. “It's not like that Al, just think of it as a present for brother when you finally find him. “

Al smiled. He hadn't thought of it that way. Good thing Winry mentioned that or else he would have gone into a state of depression.

“Next stop, Máquina!” A voice shouted over the speaker.

“Well Al that's our stop, better get ready.”

Al nodded and started to get his things together. But then a thought struck him. “Hey Winry, what were you asking me about earlier?”

Winry whipped out a magazine and gave a grin that swept across her whole face. “Why this of course.”

Al was bombarded with pictures that looked like auto mail.

“ISN'T IT GREAT?! IT'S THE LATEST IN AUTOMAIL DESIGN! THE GREATEST OF THE GREATEST! I MUST HAVE IT!!!”

Al sweat dropped as he watched Winry dance around the room with her dance partner being the magazine picture. `Figures.'

Al and Winry were walking through a town called Máquina. It was an old, small town, not really having any significance. The only point of interest was an automail mechanic who was supposed to be one of the best in the world. In fact that was the whole reason they were there, so Winry could possibly get some advice on creating better automail. Al was there against his will. He had stopped by Risembool too rest a while, but ended up being dragged here instead. Some vacation this turned out to be.

“Winry are we almost there?” the eleven year old wined behind her.

“Be patient Al.”

“But I'm hungry.”

“Are you hungry to the point of death?”

“…no.”

“Well then you can wait!”

Al cringed at her voice and decided it would be better to look at the scenery. Even if it was a small old town, he had to admit, it was peaceful, like the old days. Suddenly he froze. His eyes laid on one person standing away from the rest of the crowd. It couldn't be. It was impossible. “Brother…?”

REVIEW PLEASE!!!

 

First chapter done. Personally, I'm proud of myself. I wrote this all in one day. That's a record! It's shorter than usual, but others will be longer. I'll update ASPA.

 

Oh and I'm not letting Izumi died just yet.
