"Al!" yelled a blond person. This blonde was Edward Elric. Alphonse was his little brother, but most people mistake that because Alphonse is a suit of armour.

Al picked up a little animal from an ally, stuck it inside his armour, and ran to Ed saying, "Shh, cat, shh!". Al reached Ed. "Where have you been?" asked Ed. Al turned away from Ed. "Nothing...," said Al. Ed took off the armour head and looked inside. "Al, seriously?" asked Ed as he took the cat out of the armour. "You know I love cats!" said Al. Before thet could argue any further, the cat hissed, ran out of Ed's arms, and ran off. Ed and Al looked down to see a patient dog. Al stepped farther away from Ed. Ed picked up the dog. "Hello there!" Ed said. "Dont you have a home?" The dog jumped out of Ed's arms and started biting at Ed's pants. "Quit that," said Ed. The dog kept biting, but then eventually stopped and walked a little further away from them, and then stopped. "It wants us to follow it?" asked Al. "Well we might as well," said Ed. Ed and Al ran with the dog to see what it wanted.

The dog finally stopped at a hill. Ed and Al saw three bloody figures. Riku turned to them. "What do you want?" asked Riku. "And how did you get up here?" Ed pointed at the dog. "We want to help you...," said Ed. Riku smiled. "You might wanna help her," said Riku. "Who?" asked Ed. Riku hesitated a little, but he showed Ankoku to them. "W-Winry can h-help you," said Al. Ed remebered at Winry was already in Central, renting a house for a bit. Amaya smiled. "Thank you!" said Amaya. Amaya and Riku stood up and followed Ed and Al to go to Winry. "May I ask your names?" asked Riku. "My name is Edward Elric, am my brother here is Alphonse," said Ed. Ankoku woke up. "S-so you, Edward... Are you a state... alchemist," asked Ankoku. Edward turned his head to look at Ankoku. "Yeah, I am," said Ed. "And are you the older brother?" she asked. Ed was suprised to hear this, she didnt know them, and she got that fact right. "Yeah...," said Ed. "So why would a state alchemist be helping us?" asked Ankoku. "Because you're just like us," said Ed. "Except, the person carrying you isn't like Al,"  "Oh! My name is Riku, this is Amaya, and this is Ankoku," said Riku. "And what do you mean, 'not like Al'?" asked Amaya. Al stopped and took off his head. None of them were surprised. "Oh really?" asked Riku. He took off the place where Ankoku sewed it shut. "I guess I am like your brother Al," said Riku.
