A new story, I know, I'm sorry. Its my birthday though.

Polarize (Chapter 1)


I wanted to be a better brother, better son,

Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done


"They sent a couple of kids after me, huh?"

Isaac the Freezer stared at the white-haired boy in front of him and the one next to the boy, assuming it was his brother. "How on earth are you in the military?"

The boy in front of him frowned at him before speaking, "I'm just that good," he said in with a smirk.

Isaac looked towards him, waving a hand. "This isn't for kiddies like you," he said.

Edward clapped and pressed his hands onto a nearby wall, a hand made of bricks formed.

"Woah!" the Freezer exclaimed as he dodged the attack. "What the-!"

Edward's eyebrow twitched in agitation and annoyance. The dark-skinned boy clapped and set his two hands on the ground this time around, spikes forming from the concrete and going towards the taller man. The spikes formed around Isaac and trapped up in the air.

Edward smirked, "I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist," he said.

The older alchemist looked the fourteen-year-old up and down, examining his rather short stature, his dark skin, and his white hair braided back and tied. The red coat bracing his shoulders and the sunglasses on his face (despite it being night out) caught the man's attention. Isaac glanced at quiet boy next to Edward. His hair was much shorter, but was the same snow white as the State Alchemist. He, too, was wearing sunglasses.

"C'mon, Al. We gotta get going. We got a train to catch," he said as he turned away from the man.

The thirteen-year-old, now known as Al, simply nodded and walked behind his elder brother. The policemen thanked the two boys, but neither replied.

Alphonse tapped his brother's shoulder, causing him to turn around. "Yeah, what's up?"

"You have to report to the Colonel, Ed," he signed to his brother.

Ed sighed, "Ugh, do I have to? I'm sure he can piece it together-"

The alchemist scratched the back of his head. Al's eyebrows were furrowed and he had a frown on his face. 'He's glaring at me.'

"Fine, fine. I'll report to that bastard," he started, "after a nap. Ow-"

Alphonse hit his brother upside the head without hesitation, a smirk on his face. His mouth opened to form a small chuckle, but nothing came out.

Ed groaned, "Fine, let's go. He might not even be there. It's kinda late, don't you think?"

The younger Elric pointed in the direction of Eastern Command. Groaning once again, Edward walked ahead of his brother.

The night was clear and the city was full of bustling people, hurrying to places or walking to slow, Edward hated the publicly either way it went. They were useless people that formed opinions with being informed. Edward hurried through the crowd, trying his best not punch anyone in the face. Edward looked up at a building and gasped before quickly bowing his head to watch his feet. Grabbing his brother's hand, Edward spoke softly, "Keep your head low, Alphonse."

Without a second thought, he bowed his head and watched his feet instead of the people walking by them. It wasn't before then that the two brothers made it to Eastern Command and headed up the steps.

"Who are you-"

Before one of the soldiers could finish, Edward pulled out his pocket watch and pulled his brother through the front door and up the stairs. The walls were a light shade of blue and the floors shined from the reflection of the light above their heads.

Alphonse turned down the wrong hallway and pulled his brother aside. A worried look crossed his face.

"They were watching us, weren't they?" he asked.

"They always are, Al," Edward replied. "I don't know who they are, but we need to be careful."

"Yeah."

The two turned in the opposite direction and headed towards the office once again. It was a few more flights of stairs and the occasional soldiers saluting the older teen before they were outside the office door. And as per usual (or lack of of a more explosive entrance) the Fullmetal alchemist kicked the door down.

"I'm here!" he said with a proud smile.

"Edward," a voice said.

Edward turned around to find Lieutenant Hawkeye standing next to the door with a stack of papers in her hands. "Hi, Lieutenant!"

The blonde woman sighed, "Hello, Edward, Alphonse."

The younger of the Elric brothers smiled and waved at the blonde woman before settling into a chair.

"Hey, Alphonse," Fuery shouted.

The white-haired boy turned to find the bespectacled man toying with a radio. He waved at him.

"The radio's been picking up more static than anything lately. Can you help me?"

Alphonse nodded before rising up from his seat.

"Edward, could you please not slam the door? You're gonna get someone hurt."

Ed raised his eyebrows, "Like who?"

"Me!"

The white-haired teen jumped at the sound of a voice behind the door. "Eh?"

Lightly pushing the door, Havoc walked out from behind the (now bloody) door, holding his nose.

Fullmetal blushed and scratched the back of his head, "Hehe, my bad."

"My bad?! Not even a sorry?" Havoc exclaimed, false hurt filling his voice (he was hurt).

The silver-haired boy shrugged, "Not my fault you were next to a door that opens inwards."

The office was silent, the kid had a point. Breda was the first to start chuckling before the entire office was in a fit of laughter. Edward chuckled softly before looking towards his brother who was on the ground holding his stomach from the laughter that should have left his mouth.

The state alchemist hummed to himself, "Is the Colonel here?"

Hawkeye nodded, "Just through the door."

Nodding, Ed turned to Al before signing to him, "I'll be out in a minute."

Alphonse nodded before turning back to the circle he had only just begun drawing.

"That's a transmutation circle, right?" Fuery asked softly. When the boy hadn't responded, Kain tapped him on the shoulder.

Alphonse raised his eyebrows, "Did you say something?" he signed.

"U-Um, is that a transmutation circle?"

Al nodded and sat the radio set in the middle of the transmutation. Placing his hands onto the circle, a blue light brightened the room, stares coming from everyone. When he was done, Al sighed (inaudibly) and turned around with a smile.

"There you go!" he signed.

"Thanks!" Fuery said allowed, knowing the boy couldn't hear him. Fuery, well, the whole team, was trying to learn sign language to surprise Alphonse. Of course, with all the office work they had (that they often slacked off on), only a few words were learned. Edward normally had to translate what the boy was trying to say.


"So, Fullmetal, how did Isaac the Freezer go?"

Edward had already begun to get annoyed with his tone of voice alone. It wasn't like is Commanding Officer to start a conversation without-

"Or was he too big for you?"

And there it is.

"Who are you calling a flea?!" he exclaimed.

There was a long pause before the Colonel spoke again, a smirk on his face, "You."

Edward rolled up his sleeve, as if he were readying his fist. "Why I oughtta-"

"Did he cause you any trouble?"

Edward stopped and froze, "Wha?"

"Did he cause any trouble?"

The younger alchemist plopped down onto the couch and looked away. "Nah, it was a pretty boring fight. He didn't say anything spectacular. Just asked why the military would send kiddies."

Mustang chuckled, "I take you're tired of hearing that question."

"Mm," he paused, "any new leads?"

The Colonel sighed, "How many times are you gonna ask that?"

"As many times as I need too."

"There aren't any right now-"

"Its been two months, Mustang, two. There has to be something!"


Isaac was not happy. Not at all. He couldn't believe he let a kid get the better of him. He was in the hands of the authorities now. If he stopped now, surely they'd kill him. He had to go through with his plan.

Looking towards a building he smirked.

"What are you smiling at-"

The officer was interrupted by a sharp nail through his chest.

"What the-" another officer started, but never got to finish, his body now frozen.

Isaac chuckled, "Sorry, I can't let you get in my way now." He looked over to the woman that had attacked the (now dead) soldier. "You came to rescue me, huh?"

The busty woman turned to him nonchalantly, "Nothing of the sort, Mr. Freezer. You have a job to do. And if you do it well, I give you another one of these." She held up a small glass tube containing a glowing red liquid inside. "You can have all the immortality you want." Lust put the glass tube into her dress before speaking up once more, "But, only if you get me those Elric brothers."

Isaac looked at her with wide eyes before nodding.


So, yeah new story.
