Awakening Guardians
This fic should be updated once a week or once every two weeks, however it depends on my school work. I'm in Australia so I don't get three months off like other countries. It also depends on my school assignments, parents and exams.
I'm doing this to get better at English and story writing; I don't get any other sort of profit from this
I don't know where this story will go, I might hit a block, or I might not. I might even ask you people to help me.
Please tell me if my characters are too OOC, I'm still not happy with General Hammond; I can fix it if you have any suggestions for text, grammar or plot.
The chapter will have no set length, only over 2000 words.
No flames, but constructive criticism is needed.
THIS IS AN AU FIC! (Alternate Universe fic)
Title my change
-=-=-=-=-= notes on the fan fic-=-=-=
Please read...
-This is an AU fic, Hughes is alive, -didn't have the heart to kill him.
-Mustang has only one Seeing Eye (his right), this is a fan fic after all, and you could say that the stone didn't have enough power to totally heal his sight.
-Amestris is only behind the rest of the world; this fic will take place in the SG time zone (1990-2005) not 1915-1920.
-Al has his body back; Ed got it back from the Gate, still haven't decided if that will have any side effects.
-Ed still has his alchemy, I really don't care what you guy come up with, but for the moment let's just say the Gate let him keep it.
-For those of you who don't know the Gate and the Stargate are completely different! If you have not seen fma, I suggest you watch or google it before you start reading this fic
I will remind you THIS IS AN AU fic for BOTH crossovers! It will not follow the SG1 story line completely and is a mix of BOTH fma animes. (2003-2005 and 2009-2010)
I do not own SG1 or FMA

-=-=-=chapter one-=-==-
As General Hammond walked down the main street of Amestris' home capital of Central, he started to have second thoughts of even going through with this so-called "peaceful exchange" of military intelligence and personnel.
It had all started just before the Goa'ulds' very first almost attack on earth six months ago. American diplomatic intelligence had alerted the SGC and American government that a small team of Amestrian military 'scientists' and 'archaeologists' had discovered a form knowledge apparently associated to the Stargate. However, due to the Goa'uld -and SG1, all investigations concerning Amestris were put on hold until further notice.
It wasn't until a month ago that the American government had picked up the investigation again. Both governments had discussed a treaty and an exchange. The Amestrian military personnel team responsible for finding the information on the Stargate will be evaluated and then possibly transferred to the SGC, IF they were of SGC standard. Names had been covered up by the Amestrian government, making it impossible for even the president of the US to find out who discovered this information, not even General Hammond knew who he was meant to be meeting
The American president and higher ups had given General Hammond the task of investigating the Amestrian military 'scientists' slash 'archaeologists'. Hammond ordered Colonel Jack O'Neill as acting commander of the SGC, along with Major Samantha Carter as an 'assistant' commander. The Major was placed as O'Neill's assistant to make sure the Colonel kept out of trouble and to stop him from doing anything stupid or out of the ordinary. Hammond had also asked Doctor Frasier if she could keep an eye on the temporary commander and his acting assistant commander.
And now, after series of very, very long and tedious flights from America to London, then from London to Amestris, General Hammond found himself being escorted down the Main Street to Amestris' Military HQ. Right now the General could only hope that this wasn't a waste of time, and pray to every god and false god in the universe that SG1 would not destroy the SGC in the short time he was away.
"Sir, we are almost there." The female black haired officer said, snapping Hammond out of his gloomy thoughts.
"Thank you, First Lieutenant..." The General stopped and looked at the black haired escort with uncertainty.
"Ross, sir." She supplied with a small smile.
Hammond nodded thanks, and was just about to ask the location of 'Major General' Mustang's office, when...
BBBOOOOOOMMMMMM!
A massive mushroom cloud of fire and smoke rose from the very direction General Hammond was walking to. Needless to say, the General almost jumped out of his skin and was about to run or call the police or even the SGC, until he heard the First Lieutenant Ross give a small sigh.
"Oh great, those two are at it again..." The young lieutenant said in dismay, eyeing the cloud.
"W-what… the HELL was that?" General Hammond yelled, gaping and pointing at the now dispersing cloud of gasses.
"Sorry about this, they must have forgotten that a VIP was coming... or someone forgot to remind them." The First Lieutenant said, looking truly apologetic.
Looking around, the General noticed that no one on the street was panicking; civilians just walked along doing their daily things. A few small children where pointing at where the mushroom cloud had been just moments before.
"Look mummy, look! Mister Full-Metal must be in Central again!" A young girl said, pointing to the sky and tugging at her mother's hand.
"Your right dear, looks like Mister Flame and Mister Full-Metal be arguing again... I wonder what it's over this time." The mother said smiling and laughing with her young daughter before walking off.
"General Sir, I assure you there is nothing to be afraid of." First Lieutenant said and saluted.
"NOTHING?... First Lieutenant, it didn't look like nothing to me."General Hammond yelled.
"All will be explained when you get there, sir." First Lieutenant Ross said, and continued to walk down the main street.
General Hammond had no choice but to follow, after all, he was in an unknown country with limited money and very little knowledge about the city and the people… that's if these people where even human.
He just wished he knew what he was getting himself and the SGC into.
-=-=-=-Fic break up! XD-=-=-=-
The trip to Central HQ hadn't taken much longer, as General Hammond and First Lieutenant Ross approached the massive gray building, the explosions seemed to get louder and more powerful. However it wasn't only the flames General Hammond was worried about, a series of what could have been numerous earthquakes almost shook the ground as the pair advanced. There also seemed to be yelling, however it was too distorted to hear what the yeller was yelling about.
Instead of leading the General in to the massive front doors of HQ, Ross led General Hammond around the back, where most military bases have social events and military parades. This ground, however didn't look as if it was going to be used anytime soon, everything from chasms half the size of the Grand Canyon to spikes as tall as ten meters, littered the once flat ground. In the middle, there were two moving human shaped silhouettes, one was definitely an adult and the other fitted a small teen's or a child's frame. Smoke and dust clouded the air, making it near impossible to see and the atmosphere was heavy and smelt a lot like o-zone.
"Yo! First Lieutenant Ross and... Oh, hey General, fancy seeing you here!" A cheery voice called.
A man in his early thirties, with short black hair and square shaped glasses covering intelligent acid green eyes, slowly walked up to General Hammond and the First Lieutenant. He was dressed in the same blue uniform as the First Lieutenant was dressed in.
"Brigadier General Hughes, sir." Ross saluted, Hughes saluted back.
"Dismissed, First Lieutenant Ross" Hughes said in an official voice as he saluted.
Ross nodded sharply. Gave a concerned glance at the once level parade grounds and walked off the way the pair had previously come from.
"General Hammond sir, I am Brigadier General Maes Hughes, I work in the investigations department." The Brigadier General said as he saluted.
"What is going on here Brigadier General?" Hammond was using every bit of self control not to lose control and go off on a shouting rant at the young Brigadier General.
He had never seen anything like this before, not even in the SGC. Sure he had seen SG1 do some crazy stunts before. But nothing anything like this, they had never blow anything up at the home base on purpose.
Hughes just laughed. "You didn't read up on Amestris before you came here did you?"
Before Hammond could answer another mushroom cloud explosion suddenly filled the sky and the earth shook violently from another quake.
"With all due respect, sir, that is not the way you speak to a VIP." A strict female voice said from behind George.
Hammond jumped slightly; he hadn't even heard her walk up. The woman was dressed in the Amestrian military uniform. She had blond hair, which was clipped back tightly and strict, but calm brown eyes, there was one visible gun holder, equipped with a Military issued pistol. Hammond noticed a small black and white dog trotting a few yard behind her.
"Aww come on Hawkeye! Oh, I know what will cheer you up!" Hughes exclaimed with sudden enthusiasm.
Not even two seconds passed before General Hammond found picture of a small girl with green eyes and brown hair shoved in his face.
"This is my daughter Elicia, she just turned five, isn't she just adorable?" Hughes swooned as she shoved yet another photo in Hammond's face.
The black haired, green eyed Brigadier General then proceed to show the General more and more pictures, before...
Bang, bang bang!
"With all due respect Brigadier General Hughes, but I think it would be wise if our VIP met with Fullmetal, Major General Mustang and Major Elric. He does not have time to look at the pictures of you daughter, sir." The blond haired, brown eyed women named Hawkeye said, after firing several roundsat her superior officer.
What was even scarier was that the General hadn't even seen the women lay a finger on her military issued pistol or even get angry. Just what was wrong with these people?
Hughes gulped and shivered slightly and replied with a shakily "R-right."
"Brigadier General, Lieutenant Colonel Hawkeye!" A young voice yelled from the same direction Hammond had formerly come.
All four turned to see a young teen running towards the group; he was wearing a long red coat, black pants and button up long sleeved top. He had... golden eyes, how strange...and long golden hair which was tied up with a band. Hammond saw Hawkeyes' eyes suddenly take on a softer feel as the small, thin teen ran up from the side of HQ. The teen skidded to a sudden stop in front of the group, gasping for air as if he had just run a marathon.
Hammond noticed the strange symbol on the teen's red jacket, it was a snake entwined around a cross with a pair of wings and a crown on top. Doctor Jackson would have had a field day if he was here instead of the brief trip to Egypt.
"S... sorry... (Pant) I came... here... as (pant) ... fast as (pant) I... could" the teen gasped out, his hands pressed to his knees.
"Major Elric, this is General Hammond from America. He's here to talk to you, Fullmetal and the Flame about-" Hughes suddenly got cut off by the young Major.
"That thing we found in Xerxes... Right...?" Major Elric finished.
Hughes nodded, his eyes darkened slightly. Hammond could see pity and sorrow clouding his eyes briefly as he glanced at the young Major. What was that about?
Major Elric turned to General Hammond and saluted.
"General Hammond, my name is Major Alphonse Elric, most people call me Al. It's nice to meet you." Major Elric said in a polite tone.
Another shock from what could have been an earthquake shook the ground again, but the General hardly noticed it.
"Brigadier General Hughes... what... what is this? You people let a child into the military?" Hammond stuttered eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at the young Major.
How could a kid, no older than sixteen be a Major? What the hell was this government thinking? Letting kids in to the military? Did they WANT a sixteen year old too shoot and kill? To go through a war as if it was hell?
"Like it is General, you can't judge people on their age. We've seen and done more than most high ranking offices will ever see in a life time." Major Elric said looking General Hammond straight in the eye.
Hughes sighed, "Al… the General didn't read up on this country- mind you, most of the military info, in and out has been monitored lately... Maybe you could show General Hammond what the travel books missed out. Stopping Fullmetal and Flame in their little brawl might help to move things along."
Al sighed and looked over to what use to be the parade grounds. His brother and Mustang where out of sight and nothing was blowing up, that usually indicated that the fight had turned close range. These fights were becoming more and more common lately, not even the Fuhrer bothered to come out. In his eyes, as long as the mess got cleat up and the work got done, he didn't care. Hawkeye on the other hand, was starting to get irritated by these random fights.
"What are they fighting over this time?" Al asked, turning to General Hammond, Hughes and Hawkeye.
"To be honest... I have no idea." Hughes said shrugging.
"I believe it was over a report." Hawkeye said in her no-nonsense tone.
"Again!" Al asked in disbelief. "How long have they been out here?"
"Over two hours, I tried to get them in well over an hour ago, but they were too caught up in fighting that I couldn't get a clear shot at them" Hawkeye replied.
Al sighed. Of course Hawkeye had tried to shoot at them... too bad his brother and Mustang were too caught up in the fight to notice.
"Oh! I know what will motivate you to stop those two!" Hughes exclaimed as he rummaged around in his top pocket.
"Fine, but Hawkeye needs to come with me." Al said quickly before he became one of Hughes' photo victims.
"And whys that?" Hughes asked, looking at the photo lovingly before carefully placing it back in his top pocket.
"Both of them are scared of her." Al said like it was worldwide know fact.
"Very well, Major Elric. Black Hayate, stay." Hawkeye ordered.
The black and white dog gave a quick back, and with this, Al and Hawkeye then walked off into battle field to stop the two warring alchemists. It wasn't a mystery why the Flame Alchemist and the Fullmetal Alchemist were at each other's throats. The war with the homunculi had ended just over a year ago. It came to no surprise that the two hot headed alchemists had begun these mini brawls each time an argument had broken out in the office. Unfortunately General Hammond didn't know about this or anything about alchemy, thus getting a big shock when he saw the mushroom cloud form in the sky. Hammond was suddenly snapped out of his own thoughts when he felt a hand tugging gently at his American military jacket. It was Hughes.
"Let's go with them! You need to see Fullmetal and the Flame in action, seeing as you know nothing about Amestris, this is the best way to get to know it!"Hughes said, half dragging General Hammond behind him.
"Are you crazy? Things are exploding out there!" General Hammond yelled, trying to pry Hughes' hand off.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, Hawkeye and Al will sort it out." Hughes said, seemingly oblivious to the danger of things exploding at close range.
General Hammond had no choice but to hesitantly half follow, half get dragged along by the crazy Brigadier General, whom was following the Major and the Lieutenant Colonel into ruins of the destroyed Central Military Parade grounds.
After five minutes of walking around carters, dodging what looked like fallen rocks, cliffs that rose to an insane height, and massive spikes that rose up ten meters from the ground, the group of four came across the same two fighting humans General Hammond had seen previously.
This time, however the American General was able to get a better look at the people who had caused so much damage. The first was wearing a blue Amestrian military uniform, with one gold star on the shoulder, indicating that this was the Major General Mustang that General Hammond had flown from America to see.
He had dark black hair, fair skin and a seemingly dark blue right eye, the left was covered over with an eye patch. The Major General was young, very young he didn't look a day over thirty five, however the eye patch indicated that he had been through more than his age let on.
On the Major Generals' hands where a pair of white gloves with an odd red circular design neatly intertwined into the white thread. Mustang held his right hand in a position simular to clicking and was franticly looking around for something or someone.
All of a sudden a flash of gold and black suddenly flew down from a tall rock to the Major Generals left. It was the other, he was wearing a black tank top, black leather pants along with black and red combat boots. The teen had his long golden hair pulled back into a thick braid; he had lightly tanned skin and golden eyes which sharp with a mixture of concentration and annoyance. Major Elric and this teen had the same golden eyes, golden hair and tanned skin. Even if the new teen's features were more of a distinct gold, any fool could see that the two are related.
However, General Hammond had almost missed a very important detail. As the blond teen flew down at the older man with a bladed metal arm; the deadly blade was so sharp it looked as if it could slice Mustang in to mice meat. Metal... this kid had a metal arm... Fullmetal... General Hammond didn't have time to dwell on to matter when he heard a...
Snap.
Intense heat suddenly exploded around General Hammond and the Amestrians, shielded their eyes with the back of their hands. The teen had no chance and they were just standing there watching-
Wait...What?
Instead of the kid there was a sturdy but singed wall of stone that had suddenly appeared in place the blond teen was just seconds ago.
"Getting slow in your old age, Mustang?" a young voice teased.
It must be the kids' it was coming from behind the wall. The voice didn't sound angry or scared even, but how were they making flames and walls appear out of thin air? Where they even human?
"Not a chance Fullmetal, I missed because you're just too small to fry." It was the smug, cool voice of the Major General.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU WANNA COOK UP LIKE A SHRIMP?" the voice behind the rock screeched.
There was a clapping sound and not even a second later, sharp spikes emerged from the rock and flew towards Mustang. The Major General simply snapped his fingers and fire compressed the airborne spikes into a shower of dust, rock and flame.
"There's only one shrimp here and... oh wait, I can't see him, he really is too small." Mustang said with a smirk his right eye shining with mirth.
"YOU BASTARD, I'LL BREAK DOWN YOUR FEET AND STICK 'EM ON YOUR HEAD!" Fullmetal yelled.
The wall disintegrating and the enraged blond-chibi charged at Mustang with astonishing speed.
Suddenly, Fullmetal changed course, a very evil looking grin materialized on the teen's features. He swiftly veered to the left of Mustang, his blind side. Dashed about ten meters away, clapped his hands and pressed them to the ground, not even a second later an enormous and dangerous looking cannon with strange designs rose from the ground with a flash of electric blue light. Fullmetal was sitting on top and was about to activate it when...
Zzzz... ssshhhhaaaa...
The cannon suddenly seemed to decompose back into the ground, Fullmetal landing on the ground hard. Before Mustang could get an advantage over Fullmetal's drawback, a sudden jet of water hit the older man sending him flying to the dusty ground. The Major General was soaked to the skin. Hammond looked around and saw Major Elric was standing up, with his right hand resting on a metal pipe that was still dripping with water.
"What is wrong with the two of you? This is the sixth time this month you two have destroyed the parade grounds!"The Major scolded.
Fullmetal sat up and looked at the person who had stopped the brawl.
"Aww... but Al…"Fullmetal groaned, dragging out Al's name.
Fullmetal promptly fell to the ground on his back, causing the dust on the ground to rise and settle.
"Don't 'but' me brother, both of knew too well that General Hammond was coming to visit." Al growled.
"That was today?" Mustang asked.
He sat up suddenly, water cascaded down from his hair and uniform down on to the dusty ground.
"Yes it is, sir" Hawkeye said matter-of-factly.
The Major General shook his head, causing droplets of fly off in random directions. His only eye looked over the group before falling on the shocked General Hammond. Fullmetal however didn't even take a glance up.
"This is your fault Fullmetal!" Mustang accused, turning his head swiftly at the young teen.
"HOW THE HELL IS IT MY FAULT?" Fullmetal screeched back, sitting up and giving a venomous glare at the Major General.
"IF GAVE ME YOUR REPORT LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!" Mustang yelled back.
"IF YOU WEREN'T A TOTAL BASTARD ABOUT THE REPORTS THEN I WOULD HAVE! ALL YOU DO IS TELLING ME OFF ANYWAYS!" Fullmetal shouted back.
"AFTER LEVELLING THREE CITIES IN A HALF A YEAR, I THINK I HAVE THAT RIGHT!" Mustang shot at the teen smugly.
"Ghhhaaa! I didn't level three, ONE was sinking and another was really, really old, sides' it wasn't as if anyone was killed!"Fullmetal rebuked back at his superior officer.
"That's hardly the point!"Mustang said arrogantly at Fullmetal.
"See what I mean? ALL YOU DO IS-"
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
They both went silent.
"Okay, the two of you have had your fun, now it would be in everyone's best interest if we get along with this meeting, sirs." Hawkeye said calmly.
Both Mustang and Fullmetal nodded quickly and ran to the nearest door of Amestris' HQ.
"Follow me sir." Hawkeye said as she walked off the parade grounds, Al and Hughes right behind her.
"What the hell was that? How did you... how do they?" the General stammered, his brain was still trying to comprehend what he had just seen.
"It was alchemy." Hughes said casually. "Al can explain it better than I can."
"Alchemy is the science of understanding, deconstructing and reconstructing the structure of matter. Alchemists have to consider the earth, air, the Alchemic law of Equivalent Exchange and any other factors that may concern an Alchemic Transmutation." Al lectured smiling, confidently; the young alchemist had known about Alchemy most of his life.
"Alchemy?" the General questioned, his mind was overflowing with the information that was being poured into it.
This young Major reminded the General of Samantha Carter back home, they even spoke using scientific terms and other big words that Jack O'Neill had trouble trying to understand. It will be interesting if SG1 and these people met. Doctor Jackson and Major Carter would be asking them nonstop questions about Alchemy and Amestris.
"You're telling me that you can look at something, and then break it down to form something completely different?" the General asked after a minute of taking in information.
"Pretty much, Alchemy is a complex science, most Alchemists need a circle and corresponding ruins to perform a transmutation...however." al stopped.
"You didn't have one. Neither did Fullmetal." Hammond stated.
Now that he thought about it, only Mustang used a circle, general Hammond only saw Major Elric only touched the ground, but Fullmetal had clapped before the cannon rose suddenly from the ground.
Al nodded "General Mustang doesn't need one either, but he still uses his gloves for fire Alchemy. My brother and I, as well as General Mustang are state alchemists."
It was a change of subject; people did this when the conversion hit a personal problem or something they didn't want to be reminded of. There was a question General Hammond needs to know, no matter how personal.
"Why don't you need a circle?" Hammond asked.
Hawkeye, Hughes and Al suddenly stopped; a sudden heavy silence fell on the group.
"We're here General." Hawkeye said, stepping forward to open the HQ door.
It was more than obvious that these people were hiding something... something about this science called alchemy, something that could be very dangerous to the SCG and the world... and General Hammond was going to find out what.
-=-=-=-=-= chapter 1 end-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Please SG fans, look up FMA, you'll like it. I know it's an anime and I know that most adults think it's stupid, but it really is a great show.
We use O-zone, O3 in rocket fuel, it is a flammable gas, and I thought this would be an excellent example of a gas that the Flame uses for his transmutations.
Al and Mustang have seen the Gate. Roy doesn't need gloves, just the spark to produce flames, it's more out of habit he wears the gloves. For him, it makes the transmutations faster too.
Al will need gloves for a certain type of alchemy. See if you can guess. Al joined the military, I know your thinking wtf, but there was a reason, you will find that out next chapter.
I hope you people liked it! I went through the damn chapter heaps of times, please tell me of any grammar or spelling mistakes, ill fix them up.
