Old Enemies, New Allies

"She's waking up."

I slowly opened my eyes.

"Rise and shine Kimmy!" A familiar voice said.

My vision began clearing.

"She looks quite different since the last time we saw here Father."

Is that Senor Senior Junior?

"Yes Junior, she seem to have a new look."

Yup. Defiantly Junior and Senior.

I looked around to see DNAmy, Monkey Fist, Doctor Dementor, and Duff Killigan as well.

My hands and feet were strapped to the the table where I lay.

"Well it about time lass." Duff grumbled in his thick accent.

Monkey Fist held my silver pocket watch.

"Were in the world did you get this from? Do you have any idea what this is?"

I smirked and said, "Well besides the obvious it's a pocket watch or mine, bit. It's the official badge of a state alchemist of Amestris given to me by my superior officer."

He looked in shock.

I sarcastically said, "Oh did you mean the metal, well it a complex silver alloy that is mix with..."

"Enough!" He yelled. "Where did you get this?"

I smiled and said, "From my alchemy teacher. Now how about some Equivalent Exchange here."

Junior raised an eyebrow and asked, "Equivalent what now?"

I sighed and said, "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange."

Monkey Fist stared in surprise and said, "How the hell..."

I glared at him and said, "I'm not giving anymore damn answers until someone answers one of my own. So where the hell am I?"

Senor Senior smirked and said, "Dr. Dementor's castle."

Duff stepped us and said, "Where's the lad that's always with ya? He wasn't there when we picked you up."

I smiled and said, "He had some business to take care of."

DNAmy walked up and said, "Sorry Kimmy but we don't believe that. So we're going to use the Doc's new toy."

Dr. Dementor lowered a screen with a laser attached to it.

"This is my memory viewer, one blast and we will see the memory your thinking of."

I laughed and said, "Funny, the memory I'm thinking of is one that will make you want to hurl."

I smiled and said, "Well then what are you waiting for. Do it."

The Doctor pulled a switch and blasted my head.

The screen lit up to show me inside Gluttony's stomach.

The video showed everything in HD, so the lake of blood was very vivid.

I swore I saw Monkey Fist jump when he saw that we were drawing a human transmutation circle.

When we activated, I heard Junior scream as he saw the eye and the black arms.

Then they saw Truth and his ominous door.

Monkey Fist said, "Is that..."

I responded, "Truth. Yes it is."

The door opened the arms dragged me in filling my head with knowledge.

DNAmy screamed out, "Her leg is dissolving!" I whispered out, "Equivalent Exchange."

She ran into the other room when she saw me, lying in with my leg missing and lying in a pool of my own blood.

Duff actually threw up when he saw me draw the blood seal in the armor.

The next thing I saw was Ron, bound to the armor.

He said, "Kim your arm and leg..."

I said in unison with myself, "I know."

The memory ended as tears rolled down my face.

Dr. Dementor looked at me and said, "Are you trying to play me for a fool? You have an arm and leg right now!"

I spoke solomly and said, "Take off my gloves, and boots."

The Doctor yelled out, "You are a fool! This will just prove what I'm saying!"

He took no time taking off my boots, only to see my right leg was made of completely made of metal.

Senior said with a gasp, "Dear god..."

I looked at Dementor and said, "Go ahead take off my gloves! See the price I paid for my sin!"

He grabbed them showing my automail hand and the other with a transmutation circle tattooed on it.

Monkey Fist nearly fell to the floor.

He was the only one who seemed to comprehend what I did.

"You didn't...try to..."

"No, we didn't. We were stuck inside an humonculus, long story, and the only way out was through Truth. So we transmuted ourselves."

DNAmy walked back in only to see my limbs and she started crying.

Duff looked at Monkey Fist and asked, "What the hell is the lass talking about?"

He looked at the watch and said, "In alchemy there is only one taboo...

"One unforgivable sin..."

"Human transmutation..."

"Trying to bring back the dead..."

The room went quite and he continued, "She didn't use it for that though, she transmuted her own body to use the portal. But everything has it's price."

I looked at him and said, "The laws of equivalent exchange. I gave up my arm and leg to get out of that hellish place."

He walked up to me and got me out of the restrains.

No one objected to him doing that. He handed me my pocket watch.

I nodded and said, "Thank you."

I looked at my boots. One had a huge tear in it.

I place it in front of me.

I clapped my hands together and began transmuting the boot back to normal.

Junior jumped and yelled, "What is she doing Father?"

Senior gasped and said, "I'm not sure my son."

Monkey Fist watched in amazement as I finished my transmutation showing my fully repaired boot.

He looked at me and said, "So that pocket watch isn't for show?"

I smiled and said, "Nope, I'm a official state alchemist. I got the the code name The Iron Maiden Alchemist and since I went through the portal my body acts as a matrix."

Monkey Fist gasped and said, "That means you're..."

I replied, "Yeah, I'm a dog of the military, it really is no biggie."

They all said, "YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY?!"

I replied, "Yeah, I guess so. I mean all licensed state alchemists hold the rank of a major. Actually my teacher Ed was..."

A hole was blasted into the hideout. Cyclops had led Ed, Al, Ron, Shego and Drakken into the building.

I looked at them and said, "A little late guys."

Ed yelled, "What to mean a little late?"

I pointed at the screen and said, "Memory viewer. They saw the whole Gluttony's stomach ordeal in HD."

They all sighed in disappointment knowing they weren't going to fight.

Ron walked up to me and hugged me. I said, "Okay Ron, remember stronger than you were."

He let me down and said, "Sorry Kim."

DNAmy stepped up and said, "Did you call him Ron?"

I put my hand on my head and said, "You ran out before you saw the end."

I looked at Ron and he nodded.

He took off his helmet and their eyes widen to see no one was in there.

Monkey Fist stepped forward and said, "That seal is drawn in..."

"Blood, yeah. More specifically Kim's. It's the only way to bond a soul to an object." Ron said said still holding his head.

DNAmy screamed and said, "How is he doing that?"

I sighed and said, "Monkey Fist please explain it to her later."

I walked over to Ed and said, "How did you find this place Ed?"

Ed pointed over to Drakken who was still hidden underneath a cloak. Shego was in similar clothes.

I sighed and said, "They won't judge you. Heck, all this stuff started at your dam castle."

Dr. Dementor stepped forward and looked at the two hooded figures.

"Drakken? Shego? Is that you?"

Shego sighed and said, "The hoods were useless. Next time we wear actual masks."

They took their hoods off.

Much to my surprise, Shego had cut her hair to the point it looked like a boy cut and she had several new earrings in.

Drakken hadn't shave in a while.

He kind of looked like Hohenhiem, with black hair, blue skin, and no glasses.

Monkey Fist looked at the group and asked, "Are all of you alchemist?"

Drakken shook his head and said, "No, Shego and I know how to do alchistory, we are unable to do actual alchemy."

Ron pointed at himself and said, "I'm a state alchemist. The Chain Blade Alchemist was the title I got."

Ed smirked and said, "I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist."

I looked at them and said, "Did Ed tell you guys what's going on?"

They nodded.

I looked at Ron and said, "Well, one thing is for certain. Hohenhiem definalty proves what Greed was saying. He is a living breathing Phisolpher Stone."

Monkey Fist jumped up and said, "It's real?!"

Ed nodded and said, "You don't want it. Trust me on this one."

He looked at me.

I stare back at him and in complete seriousness said, "If you knew what it's made with, the memory you saw would seem timid."

Ed stepped up and said, "We need to get back to the castle, everybody needs to know about Father's plans."

Shego walked up to Ron and said, "And Mrs. Possible said something showed up for you Ron and she will bring it with her when she comes back from Middleton in two weeks."

I looked at the group of villains behind me and said, "The things you saw in my memory are only the begining. Let this be your warning."

As we began to walk out Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan ran up to us.

"Wait!" Monkey Fist yelled.

We stopped and looked back.

Monkey Fist looked at us and said, "What ever is coming, it must be world threating for you two to work with Drakken and Shego. No offense"

Drakken said in response, "None taken, besides this puts everyone at risk."

Duff Killigan stepped forward, and said, "I know this is unsual for us to say but, how can we help you lass?"

I looked at Ed and looked back at them.

"Get to Drakken's castle in 2 weeks time. There we will explain what's going on, and how to stop it."

I looked at Monkey Fist and said, "There the Truth will be revealed."
