The Four United
 
Chapter One The Story is Told
 
Edward Elric walks into the library with Succori, a girl with flowing dark blue hair and
 
eyes the color of the sky after a storm, and sits down at a table with his younger brother
 
Al and Succori's brown haired sister Gabby. “So, any new information on the stone?” Ed
 
asks looking down at some of the papers on the table in front of him. “Nothing, I'm not
 
sure we'll be able to use the stone at all brother.” “Why not?” “Because its powers are too
 
great to be true. There has to be a catch.” Answered the brown eyed beauty known as
 
Gabby. “So what do we do?” asks a flustered Ed who ran a hand through his long blonde
 
hair. Gabby watched him longingly… he is so sexy when he does that. I just wish he felt
 
the same about me. “Gabby, how about we let the boys work on the stone for a minute?”
 
asks Succori, grabbing her sister's arm. “Why?” “Because I need to talk to you.”
 
“Alright, we'll be back in a sec.” “Sure, see you later.” Ed and Al bent over the papers in
 
front of them and Succori led Gabby out into a study. The blue haired girl looked at her
 
sister and smiled. “What are you so happy about?” “I figured it out.” “Figured what out
 
exactly?” “Well, besides you and Ed secretly liking each other but too scared to tell one
 
another how each of you feel about the other—“ “What?” “I'm not finished and that is
 
only secret between you and Ed, everyone else sees it. Now the really important stuff… I
 
figured out how to get the boys back in their bodies without using the stone. There, now
 
you can talk.” “How—What—When?” “Okay, let me explain.” “Please.” “When Colonel
 
Mustang sent you and Ed on that last mission, he ordered me to stay behind.” “Right,
 
that's why we had to do all that researching ourselves. What a pain in the ass. What does
 
this have to do with saving Ed?” “And Al, anyway, I was going to just stay here and do
 
some research on the stone, but Colonel Mustang thought it the perfect opportunity to call
 
me into his office. So I went as ordered and totally pissed because he was wasting time.
 
Anyway, I went in and sat down across from his desk and he locked the door. Anyway,
 
you know that old legend about the four alchemies coming together and being just as
 
powerful as the philosopher's stone? Well it's true.” “How do you mean? We only have
 
fire, ice and metal.” “I know, we were only missing the energy source, weather.” “What
 
does this have to do with you visiting Roy and what does it matter if we still don't have
 
the fourth alchemist?” “If you would let me finish, I could get to that. Do you remember
 
that when you guys got back that the weather was really weird and Colonel Mustang had
 
hurt his hand? Well, after he locked the door he tried to take advantage of me as I was
 
`incapable of resisting his manliness' or some other bullshit. Anyway, he tried to kiss me
 
and I punched him, but apparently he's been working out and had me pinned to the floor
 
before I knew what had happened. So, he was feeling me up and trying to take off my
 
clothes, well, as soon as he got my shirt open he-well-yeah. Anyway, I was furious and
 
scared and repulsed and just wanted him to stop touching me and leave me alone. Then, I
 
snapped and all I could think of was how angry I was, then a surge of power went
 
through my body and a bolt of lightning sent Colonel Mustang flying into the wall and I
 
ran out of his office.” Gabby stood there shocked, angry, horrified. How could I not have
 
realized this? How did I not see that something was wrong? How could he do that to her?
 
I'll kill the son of a bitch! “Why didn't you tell me? How could he—Why would he—
 
What nerve—I'll kill the bastard!” “That's why I didn't tell you, because, once more you
 
only see the bad, I am an elemental! What's more is I am an elemental of all weather!
 
The four are united! We can save the guys.” “Yea, with the help of a guy who fucking
 
raped you!” “He did rape me but I'll do whatever is necessary to help the boys. And that
 
means Colonel Mustang lives.” “For now.” “Let's go tell the boys the good news.”…
