This will be my second fanfiction to be published and I want to thank all the people who commented on my first story. Your criticism is very helpful and more is always welcome as long as it's nice. Please don't be a jerk I don't have a lot of confidence as it is. I hope you like this. Now I'm going to shut up so you can enjoy :D

"EDWARD!" Winry screamed as I ran out the door, narrowly dodged the wrench that came flying at my head.

I spun around when I thought I was a safe distance from the house and shouted "Come on, gear head, you need some fresh air. You've been cooped up in that dank, old house for two days straight working on improving the design of my leg. I think-," My opinion was cut off when another wrench was thrown at me. This time I didn't duck at the right moment and I felt a searing pain explode at my right temple. I felt myself fall backwards, and the last thing I heard before I passed out was Al and Winry screaming my name.

"Wake up, little alchemist," I heard a familiar voice call to me. I groaned and sat up. I glanced around and saw Truth sitting in front of that stupid door again. 'Great,' I thought. 'What's he going to take from me now?'

"Hello again, Edward," A freakishly wide grin spread across its humanoid face. "Do you know why you're here?"

"No I don't know, and I don't even know how I could access the gate in the first place. I gave you my gate," I growled at Truth.

It laughed and it sent shivers down my spine. I absolutely hated Truth. The b*****d enjoys what it gains for other peoples mistakes.

"You are here because I need your…" Truth paused. "I need your assistance."

"Why the hell would you think that I would help you?" I asked.

The smile on Truth's face slipped into a frown. "You will help me, my little alchemist, because if you succeed I will not only give you back your leg but your alchemy as well."

I stiffened. If Truth was willing to give me back everything I had taken then what it wanted me to do had to be important and dangerous. "No way. I refuse. I don't want my leg or alchemy back. All I ever wanted was to get Al's body back, and that's what I got."

Truth scowled. Its eyes- if you could call them that since they were just outlines- narrowed menacingly. I felt something at my back and I spun around. Looming in front of me was a gate, but it different than the one I usually went through. My shoulder drooped momentarily and I sighed. It's just sad that I've actually been through the gate enough times to think of it as usual. I shook my head. I should be focusing on the fact that the gate was opening.

I spun back around to see Truth waving at me. Hands shot out of the door and began to pull me. "Truth! I told you I wasn't going to help you, you b*****d!" I yelled as I was dragged through the gate.

The last thing I heard before the doors closed was, "I will be taking back your new arm and giving your alchemy back for the time being. When you get to the other side I suggest you find the one named Gibbs. He is the key to getting back home. Good luck Edward Elric."
