The Clown and the Alchemists
Chapter 01: The Lost Clown
The so called Holy War was finally over. Bodies and blood of fallen comrades and enemies were splattered on the ground and the smell of rotten flesh filled the air. The bodies of Akuma were littered to the ground as smoke sizzling on their bodies. The sky that once was blue was now bloody red. Like the color of blood mixed with black ashes. One figure stood triumph on the grounds of the battle field. It was a young man with a bloody and battered white cape that was covering his body like a suit of armor; a shiny silver mask was adored his face. He had white spiky hair and on his right hand; he was gripping a broadsword that has a cross embodied on its center.
"It's finally over, uncle" the boy said as he stared at the dead body in front of him.
On the ground was a man that looked around on his forty's. His chest was covered in blood; his golden eyes were dull and empty. On his hands was a broadsword just like the boy's except the color of the cross and its edges were inverted. This particular man was the source of tragedy and all those millennia. This man was the Millennium Earl, Adam, the creator of the Akuma and the head Patriarch of the Noah Family.
The boy's cape and sword faded away with a flash of white light. A black like military uniform came into view; the half of it was ripped; exposing the black arms of the boy's hand and also his bleeding abdomen. The boy's face was covered with scratches, bruise and also dried and fresh blood. The left side of his face had a strange scar like pentacle that traces down to his jaw line. His eyes were the color of Mercury and within those eyes were filled with sorrow and pain.
"Allen…" A voice whispered behind the boy's mind.
The boy, Allen, put a sad smile on his face when he heard that voice but it was quickly replaced with a frown. Allen turned his head to the bloody battlefield. He saw his comrades, his friends, and the other exorcists who have joined the war. Near him, he saw his friend, a boy with red hair with an eye patch over his left eye, he was missing an arm and his remaining arm held a tiny little hammer, his once energetic emerald eye was now empty and soulless, his name was Lavi Bookman Jr. Lavi protected him from the incoming blow of the Noah, Tyki Mikk, that cost his arm in the process but because of this act, it helped Allen to attack and stabbed Tyki, slicing him in half.
Allen knelled in the side of Lavi's dead body. A memory flashed before his eyes.
He was in the Black Order's hall; he was on his way to his room when a familiar red head was running towards him and stopped him on his tracks.
"Allen~ Yuu-chan's gonna murder me, save me please!" Lavi begged as he hid behind Allen. A boy with bluish hair stared at the two and griped his sword. "Step aside, Moyashi" the man said. "I'm going to kill that stupid rabbit".
A tick mark formed on Allen's face, his eyebrows twitched in annoyance. He smirked and looked at the man in front of him. "It's Allen, BaKanda" Allen said in annoyance. The man put the edge of his sword on his throat.
"Do you have a death wish, Moyashi?"
"It's Allen, Bakanda, maybe you have to check your brain, oh wait, you don't have one!"
Lavi then peeked to see the mad and annoyed samurai. "I'm sorry, Yuu-chan!" he said as he slowly back away. "I didn't mean to put a chili curry on your soba"
"I'll kill you baka usagi!" then both Lavi and the man left leaving Allen behind. Allen could hear curses and the screaming of one so dead Lavi.
Allen looked at his friend then put his hand to his eye and closed it.
"Allen, I'll distract the Noah. Once the window of opportunity is open, attack him" Lavi said to him. He gripped his broadsword and nodded. The man in front of them was the Noah of Pleasure, Tyki Mikk, the Noah was injured but he won't go down easily.
Lavi ran towards the Noah and attacked him with his Fire Stamp Seal and Lightning Stamp Seal. The snake like fires and lightning swallowed the Noah whole, but what surprised Lavi was that an energy ball was forming on his hands. Allen didn't notice this. Until it was too late…
The energy ball was going after him…
Lavi pushed him away and Lavi's hand was hit and destroyed into pieces.
"GYAAA!" Lavi screamed in pain. Tyki stared at Lavi and what Tyki didn't notice that Allen was gone; it was Allen's open chance.
Allen stabbed Tyki in the chest and sliced him in half, earning the Noah a piercing screams. The body of the dead Noah fell to the ground with a thud.
He then noticed Lavi's body on the ground; he was gripping the wound of his shoulder where his arm was supposed to be.
"Good job, Moyashi"
"LAVI!"
He slowly stood up and limp to the valley of corpses. He could see his friends' dead bodies; Miranda, Krory, Marie, Johnny, Reever and everyone in the Order he knew.
He then saw the Lee siblings, Komui and Lenalee Lee. They both died because of the blood lost. Komui's stomach had a big hole on it while Lenalee had many bloody wounds, her legs were twisted, and her abdomen was pierced by a huge pointy rock. Komui was hugging Lenalee; holding her closed to his chest.
Lenalee defeated two of the Noahs with the help of Kanda and Miranda.
["Don't leave"]
[Nee, Allen-kun are you going to be alright?]
He could hear Lenalee's voice repeating on his mind. He then looked at the body of Komui.
["Everyone is waiting back home"]
["I can't wait to drink Lenalee's special coffee just for me"]
Komui's voice echoing on his mind.
Allen closed his eyes and pictured his friends smiling back at him. He slowly walked away from the dead bodies looking for hope. A hope that someone was still alive and survived the war.
"Mo…ya..shi?"
On the corner of his eyes, he saw Kanda Yuu, his rival and arch nemesis. He hated the guy's guts and his so called nickname on him but he respected the swordsman's skills. He then walked towards the body and noticed that the tattoo on Kanda's chest was slowly going transparent.
"What are you looking at Moyashi?" Kanda said chocking on his own blood. Allen sat beside Kanda, holding his bleeding abdomen and he sighed.
"Even you, closed to dying, you still have the guts to call me that BaKanda?"
Kanda smirked then slowly looked at the sky. The skies were colored in the hue of blood and it was slowly turning grey, like it was about to rain.
"So the war is finally over?"
Allen nodded even if Kanda wasn't looking at him, Kanda knew to that answer to begin with. After all, silence means, yes. Allen then looked at Kanda's tattoo on his chest and it was fading away faster now. If only he could save his friend from dying, if only he could… but he couldn't do anything. All he could do was to stare and talked to him and stay with him. He knew that the tattoo on his friend's chest was keeping him alive.
A small smile formed at the samurai's face. It was rare for him to see that smile. "That's good to know…" He said and chocked to more blood. His body began to crack. "I can finally f*cking die in peace" his smirked never leaving on his face. Kanda closed his eyes. Allen looked at his friend and said his last farewell.
"Good night, Kanda" Allen said looking at his dying friend with sorrow on his eyes. Kanda's body began to crack even more turning him nothing more than dust. He could hear Kanda's faint voice.
["Farewell, Moyahi"]
He then slowly stood up.
["Everyone is waiting back home Allen"]
A pang on his mind as he heard those words on his head.
[Allen…] It was echoing in his ears. His tears rolled down on his cheeks. His friends were calling him.
He turned around; the once bloody battlefield was changed on his point of view. Instead of the dead comrades, enemies and the pieces of Akuma that filled the ground. He could see the smiling faces of his friends, together.
His Family.
"What's wrong nephew?" The voice inside his head said. He could feel his uncle's comforting him. If Neah Walker, Allen's uncle had a physical body, he could rub his aching shoulder and comfort and help his nephew as much as he can.
Allen's eyes were heavy; the wound on his abdomen was making him lose a lot of blood making him dizzy. He looked at the sky as it began to rain. The sky was crying.
The cold rain drops hit his skin. The smoke slowly disappeared.
"I'm tired…" Allen said but in a whisper.
A comforting chuckle of his uncle, he heard. "Rest Allen, rest at your heart's content, you don't have to walk anymore… we won… I bet your friends are waiting for you in the other side." as he heard his uncle said those words. Allen closed his eyes and darkness embraced him. He collapsed on his back, unknowingly the ark gate opened behind him sending him to who knows where. As he disappeared to the shining light of the ark, the ark gate closed and shattered leaving without a trace in the world.
-Resembool
The hot breeze touched his skin. The elder of the Elric brothers, Edward Elric escorting him to Resembool was Major Armstrong carrying a crate containing the broken armor suit, which was housing the soulof the younger Elric, Alphonse Elric. He was in Resembool to visit his mechanic. He was missing his right automail arm because it was destroyed by a criminal named Scar. He needed a new one to repair the damaged Alphonse.
Edward breathed the fresh air of his home village. How he surely missed it.
"Oh, it's Edward!" one of the villagers said waving his hand. "It's been a while!" Ed waved back with a smile "Yeah, it's been a while!" He continued walking along the path. It was a long way to Rockbell's Automail Shop but it doesn't bother him. What bothered him was that the angry face of his childhood friend, Winry Rockbell on his mind. He could already feel the wrench hitting his head repeatedly. Ed snapped out of his thoughts when Major Armstrong talked to him.
"A wonderful village you got here, Edward Elric" Armstrong said as he looked at the beautiful scenery of the quiet little village.
"Yeah" Ed smiled and smiled.
Along the path, they noticed something near the small bridge. They couldn't identify what it was because it was too far away. Ed ran towards it but he was stopped by Major Armstrong by holding his shoulder. "Where are you going Edward Elric?"
"I'm going to check something out, just wait here" the Major let go of Edward's shoulder and Ed ran towards the bridge and as he got closer, he could see at least identify something of black and white. 'I wonder what it could be?' he thought. He then saw the color red. He ran faster and he arrived at the bridge. He saw a puddle of blood and on the center he could see an old man, his body filled with wounds.
"OI!" Ed ran getting closer to the man.
Major Armstrong heard Ed shout and put Alphonse on the ground.
"What's going on Major?" Alphonse asked. Armstrong had a bad feeling about this. "I'm going to check on Edward" Then he ran.
Edward looked at the body and realized that it was not an old man, no, it was not. It was a boy probably around his age. He could see that the boy was still breathing but in a slow pace. His eyes went to the exposed shoulder, it was covered with strange tattoo and his whole arm looked like it was burned into a crisp. His eyes trailed at the wound on the boy's abdomen. Ed panicked, he could clearly see the big wound and by the looks of it, it was deep. He removed his favorite jacket and done his best to bandage the poor boy. It was tricky using one hand but he still can manage it.
Major arrived and completely shocked to see the young boy. "What happened?" Major Armstrong asked him. "I don't know!" he shouted at him. "Major, quick carry him, he's losing too much blood" Without a second thought. Armstrong nodded and carefully carried the wounded boy over his arm. Ed ran first then the Major followed from behind.
Alphonse saw the incoming two from the distance and noticed his brother running fast, without his red jacket. He then saw the Major and on his arms, he saw an old man full of wounds and on the abdomen, he saw his brother's jacket tied tightly; blood was dripping on the edges of the cloth.
"What's going on brother?!" he shouted with panicked on his tone.
"No time to explain" his brother told him.
Major Armstrong then carried him on the shoulder and ran towards Winry's house.
They arrived to their destination, Ed knocked at the door loudly, shouting his friend's name.
"WINRY!" He was sweating and panting; catching his breath. He heard a click then the door opened showing a girl with lemon colored hair and blue oceanic eyes. "Ed?" She looked at him. "What's the hurry?" She then eyed behind him and her expression changed to horror.
"Wha-"
"Explanations later" he pointed at the boy. "He lost a lot of blood and he-" he was cut off when Winry pulled his left arm. "Go in quick. Put him on the bed on the guest room"
It has been four days. The boy's grave injuries were treated by Winry and Granny Pinako, it took them five hours to save the boy's life and thanks to them, the wounds are now stitched up and now they have to wait for him to wake up. Ed decided to check up the boy. He didn't have anything to do anyways. He couldn't wait for his new automail arm to be finished but Winry said that she will finish it as soon as possible and he has to wait. 'Curse Scar for destroying his automail' he sighed.
He opened the door and entered the room where the boy was sleeping. He sat on the wooden chair near the boy and observed him. The boy has pure white snow hair. 'I wonder if it's natural' he thought. On his forehead, he could see an upside down pentacle like scar and it traced down towards the boy's cheek. 'How did he get this?' he then observed closely 'It looks like it burned to his skin' that thought send shivers down his spine.
Questions filled his mind. 'Who is he? Where does he come from? Where did he have that scar? What happened to his arm? What happened to him?'
His thoughts were interrupted when a wrench hit his head.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" Ed turned around and saw Winry's tired and exhausted face. "You're automail is done" she said to him and he gave her a blank expression.
He saw Major Armstrong entered the room. "Any news from the boy?" he asked with a worry tone.
He and Winry looked at the sleeping figure of the boy. 'Judging from the boy's blood lost, he won't wake up anytime sooner' the boy twitched and a small smile formed on his face. 'He must be having a good dream' Ed then looked at his left exposed arm and noticed a cross like emblem attached to the front of his hand, it was faintly glowing. 'I wonder what that is…'
The boy twitched again and this time, his eyes slowly opened revealing gold eyes but something was wrong. The golden eyes flicked then it turned to Mercury ones. 'Was it a trick of the lights?' He shook his head. 'No, it's impossible, there's no way that it's a trick of the light, could it?'
Ed was deep in thought but was cut off when he felt that eyes were staring at him. Ed lifted his head and noticed that boy was staring at him
Mercury eyes meet Golden ones.
'I'm alive?' Allen thought. He slowly opened his eyes and looked as his surroundings. He could feel a tug on the back of his head.
"Gha…" Neah whined. "My head hurts" He protested.
'What's wrong, Uncle?' Allen mentally asked with concern to his adopted uncle.
"It's like I've been hit in the head by the stupid rabbit's hammer and stab at the same time" He could clearly see Neah at the back of his mind rubbing the back of his head. 'Where are we?' He asked him. He took note his surroundings. He seemed to be inside a cabin. He noticed that there where people present inside the room, three in fact. What caught his attention was the golden haired and golden orbs of the boy just three feet away from him, he became stiff. 'A Noah?!' he screamed his thoughts.
"Jeez, don't shout nephew, I don't want you to add more of this migraine on my head" Neah then looked at the boy with the golden orbs and sighed. "Relax, he's not a Noah" Allen breathed out with relief. He then looked at the other occupants of the room. He saw a girl with blond hair and blue eyes and besides the door; he saw a very muscular man and his eyes seemed to sparkle. 'Neah, do you see what I'm seeing?' he asked his uncle.
"You mean the person twice the size of the Earl's fat dummy demon form or the pink sparkles on his eyes?"
'The pink sparkles…'
"Then yes, I see it perfectly clear" Neah said blankly to his nephew. Allen snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the concerned blond girl.
"Um… Where am I?" He asked the girl.
The girl smiled at him "You're in Rockbell's Automail Shop" Allen blinked.
"You're in Resembool" The girl said.
"Resembool?" He repeated. He never heard of that place before.
"Uh-Oh…" Neah said and his voice was like a whisper.
"I think that we are not in the same world anymore…."
Allen's eyebrow twitched. 'What do you mean? You have so much explaining to do, Neah' He mentally sigh
"Yeah, Yeah" Neah rubbed his head.
