//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: My Little Alchemist: Fullmetal in Equestria // by SilverSpoon //------------------------------// "Okay Alphonse, you ready?” "As I'll ever be, Brother!" "Okay, then let's go!" Ed grins as he traces the final lines on the transmutation circle. It's a miracle we got the stone, I can't believe that we just, well, found it... Ed thinks, But I can’t help but shake the feeling that something’s wrong. After all these years of searching, how did we just, find it? "Brother? Are you okay?" Al calls from his position above the circle. "You look kind of... mad." "Aw, it’s nothing, Al." Ed replies, "Let's get this party started!" Ed and Al clap their hands together, and place them on the circle. It glows blue, and soon a purple smoke fills the room. "Brother? What's happening?" Al calls, his voice thick with worry. "I'm not sure Al, just hang on!" Ed manages to call back, muffled by the smoke that has surrounded him. Fuck! I thought we had it! What’s happening? A white flash blinds the older Elric brother, and he slowly slips into unconsciousness, unaware of his younger brother's frightened calls from beside him. **** "Oh man, my head..." Ed groans, sitting up after his impromptu "nap". He blink a few times, adjusting to the scenery. In front of him is a large door with peculiar markings decorating it. The gate. He stands up slowly, and walks over to it. Suddenly, the door swings open and he feels himself being pulled inside. As Ed peers into the blackness that lays before him, he can almost make out and arm and a leg. "My limbs!" He shrieks, "It worked!" But as he moves towards it, he feels his body yanked down. No.. Wait, what? This isn't supposed to happen! Ed watches as his limbs and the exit become farther and farther away as he drifts towards sheer darkness. No... Stop! Come back! Al? Where are you? AL! The light flashed again, and soon Ed feels himself losing consciousness again. ****************************** "Brother? No!" Al scream as the purple smoke engulfs Ed's body. He looks down at his own armor, which is slowly being swallowed by the same thing that took his brother. He calls to Ed again, but is suddenly overcome with a wave of nausea, for the first time in years. What's going on? Why is this happening? Al's mind races as he slips into a sick sleep, and the last thing he sees was a bright white light. **** Al comes to while lying on a floor and his head hurts like nothing else he's felt before. He rubs it softly, running his fingers through his soft hair. Wait.. fingers? Hair? Do I have my...? Al looks down at his hands. "Wha... Hands? No way!" Al squeals with joy and stands up. "I have real legs too! And hair? And, and," He touches his hands to his face. " A nose! And a mouth! And ears! And eyes! I hope Brother got his arm and leg back too!" Suddenly a creaking sound snaps him out of his daze. Al turns around to see the gate behind him. It's open. "No....," Al says while backing away from it. "I don't wanna go in there. Please. Don't make me-Augh!" He screams as the arms shoot out and grabs him, sucking him in. Al quickly passes through Gate and he feels his body being pulled down into another white light. Brother! ***************************** "Come on Spike, we've gotta hurry or else we won't be able to get to the castle in time!" Twilight barks at the little purple dragon who sits on the couch. "Yeah, yeah..." He snarls back, getting up from his spot. Twilight grabs him with her magic and the two gallop out the door, eager to get to the castle. The various shops and ponies pass are just a blur, and Twilight's only focus is getting to the castle which lays deep in the heart of the Everfree Forest. I know I felt something land in the castle! I'm not a crazy pony! I know it's in the castle, I just know it! Twilight thinks to yourself. Ah, we're near... She notices as she passes Zecora's hut. "T..ww..i..l...ii...g..hhh...tttt...!. Slll..oooo...ww...dooowwww....nnn!" Spike squeals from his perch on Twilight's back. She screeches to a halt. "We're here." She climbs the stairs of the castle, not even noticing Spike fell off, and braces herself for what may lay inside. Dragon? No... too tiny.... Augh what was it? She rounds the corner and peers into the room. When she sees what fell from the sky, she screams. Lying on the floor were two ponies. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that one of them was metal, and the other pony had two calves of metal. What the buck are they? And where did they come from? ******************************************* Luna wakes up in a flash from her slumber, panting heavily. What was that? With that weird gate? What is happening? She hears a knock on the door. "Come in." Celestia walks into the room and looks at Luna with a frightened look on her face. "You saw it too, Sister?" She asks in a surprisingly soft tone. "Yes, my sister. It was very strange. I was in the body of somepony named Al... And if my guess is correct, you saw from the perspective of an Ed? Celestia looks shocked at the suggestion. "Wha? How did you know?" "Because this Al pony called his brother Ed." Luna says, pawing the ground. "Celestia, did you know they were.. they were.." "Humans." She finishes for her. "Yes sister. What do we do about it?" She asks, " And why did we see that? Why only that much?" "Sister dear, I do not know." Celestia replied, while looking down on the ground. "But I feel that my student felt their presence too. I do hope she stays out of this...." ***************************** It’s the great rewrite of 2k13!!! Hooray. Sorry if it’s still bad, ha haha hha ha.
