Chapter 3 – The end, or maybe the beginning

- Well, now that you are all informed about what is happening, may I show you the end of it all?

They all agreed excited to finally see what would happen in the future.

- Okay, first I am going to show how Al got his body back.

- What? – Cried Al – I get my body back. Instead of answering she started the video.

Ed is shown drawing a human transmutation circle on the floor. He has his arm back, but is all bruised and he is bleeding in several place, but he is smiling. Around him were Ling and a few soldiers.

- Look, that is me – Said Ling happy to finally appear on the screen, but only La Fan and Fu give him attention. The others were more worried about what were happening that got Ed so bruised.

- What is happening? – Asked Olivier, she didn't like not knowing the situation.

- Well, to sum up, there were a big fight and you guys won. This is few minutes after you defeated the bad guy.

"I will be right back" He said surprising Hohenheim who is shown beside Izumi "This is the Fullmetal Alchemist's final transmutation" he said and them clapped on the circle, activating it.

- What do you mean by final transmutation? – Asks Al worried

- I don't know – But he was already coming to a guess of what his future self is going to do.

Ed appeared again in the white room. In front of him was the Truth and behind him the doors. "You are here to bring your brother back, are you?" Asked the Truth, still sitting on the floor. "But how are you going to pull a whole person out of here? What price will you pay? Will you offer your body?" Ed grinned, and pointed to the door without looking at it "I've got your price right here. This huge thing." The scene shows the door "This is my gateway of truth. Which mean it's up to me how I use it. Am I wrong?" He finished smiling showing his teeth. The truth starts to laugh, putting a hand on his face "Is that what it's come to? Are you sure about this? If you lose your gateway, you'll never be able to use alchemy again."

- So that is how … - Murmuring Ed

- What, brother, you can't do this! You will lose your alchemy! - Worried Al, his brother couldn't lose his alchemy because of him. The others were having mixed thoughts, they were happy that Al could regain his body, but worried about Ed losing his alchemy. Winry looked from one brother to the other, worried about them.

- What, this is the perfect solution Al! We are finally going to get your body back. Don't worry about me, I will be fine. You will see.

"You are right" Ed said looking at his gate "It's true, beyond this gateway lies everything about alchemy. However, I've been manipulated because of it. After having been shown the so-called truth, I was convinced that I could solve anything with alchemy. But I was wrong, that was just arrogance." The truth talked again "You would lower yourself to become just a normal person, unable to use alchemy?" Ed was looking up, and his blooded face became more apparent "Lower myself nothing. I've been just a person from the start. An insignificant human who couldn't save a little girl who had been made into a Chimera"

Ed and Al looked downcast; they could never forget Nina. Mustang team and Hughes who new about the incident were sending sad looks to the brother.

"You are sure you will be okay without it?" Asked the truth again. The voices of several of his friends were heard, the last one being Winry's. Ed smiled brightly "Even without alchemy, I still have them!"

They all looked at ed with different eyes, this boy that had already gone thought hell was going to lose his alchemy and was not worried because he had his friends.

The truth seemed really excited "That is the right answer, alchemist. You have beaten me" Ed clapped his hands and touched the doors "Taki it with you. All of it." Truth said standing up, the door started to lightening up blue, and vanishing. "The back door is over there" The truth was pointing behind him, he too was vanishing, but he was smiling. "Edward Elric". Al is shown, his hair is long, and he is extremely thin but he is smiling. Ed helps Al stand up, passing his arm through his shoulder to help Al walk. "That was a crazy thing to do" He said to Al in a scolding tone, but without meaning it. Al smiled "You too, Brother". The doors on Al's side start to open and Ed says. "Now let's go home. Together." Al nods and they cross the door.

- Brother I – Al was having difficult in saying how much he was grateful for what his brother did. Ed sensing this went to his little brother and hugged him

- I know Al.

- Wow, I can't believe you defeated God – Said Darius grinning, these kids were definitely something else.

- Well, now that you know how Al got his body back, let's see the end.

The hospital is show and then a man appears talking to a nurse. "Which room is Colonel Roy Mustang in?" "Let's see… May I ask your name?"

- Wait, who is that guy? – Asks Fu, still trying to understand what all this had to do with him.

- He is an army doctor. But more important, why I am in the hospital?

"My name is Knocs. I am a private-practice doctor. If you relay that to him, he'll know who I am."

Journey's End

"Hey young lady" Maria Ross appears outside of room "It's been a long time. Who is this gentleman?" She asks noticing that Knocs is not alone. "Oh it's kind of a long story. You might say he's my big gun. Well? Is he letting it get him down?" Mustang appears, but when he opens his eyes, they were gray, he is blind

- What happened to me? Why am I blind? – Cries Mustang exasperate, he can't be blind, he needs to become Fuher first. The others were also worried, what could have happened that let the Flame Alchemist blind

- You were forced to make a human transmutation, so you could be used as a sacrifice by the 'Father'

Ed was outraged, he may not like the Bastard (well, maybe he likes him a little), but even him had to admit that the Bastard is a good man, and he have goals. To see him having to suffer the consequences of a human transmutation that he was forced to do pissed him off.

"The crops that will be planted in the Ishvalan region will primarily be double-cropped" Mustang says confidant "Okay, that's a mistake. It's not double-cropping, it's dual-cropping. There is no way you're going to earn their trust like this." Breda says. Then it shows Mustang in a hospital grown sitting on his bed. Around him were Breda and Fuery, and a lot of books. "I know" mustang says crossing his arms "Okay, okay, so what two crops are they raising?" Knocs appear beside Maria Ross, his mouth is open and he is very surprised

- I don't know why he is so surprised. He knows me for years now, he should know that a little thing like blindness wouldn't stop me for achieving my goals – Says Mustang also crossing his arms, looking kind of offended. His team only smiled in disbelief; they knew the boss is strong. Even Olivier was a little impressed with the sheer will of the man. He may be a valuable rival after all.

"Wheat and cotton" He answer "Correct. See you are getting this, aren't you?"; "Give me some credit. I've been looking into this since before it all started" Knocs looked at Maria Ross in disbelief while pointing at Mustang. "He said he was going to solve this Ishvalan problem before he became Fuher." Maria ross says smiling. "Solve it? For that matter, become Fuher in the first place?" Knocs says, getting Roy's attention "That voice … Is that you Dr knocs?" He asks, now the scene shows that Hawkeye is sitting on the bed besides Mustang also injured.

Scar was thoughtful, he didn't like the State Alchemists, obviously, but this man and the two brothers let him intrigued. He still didn't know what to think of this man, but if he is trying to help Ishval, he would at least wait to see what would happen.

"Hey, what can I say, you're doing alright, huh?" Dr Knocs asks moving close to the bed with Maria Ross by his side. "Yeah, these guys are pests. They won't give me any rest" Mustang says pretending to be bothered. "No, not that, I meant your eyes", Mustang approach his hands to his eyes "Yeah, apparently, this is the punishment that Truth gives to those who dream of the future" He also have a bandage on his left hand. "Are you okay?" Knocs asks pitting the man. "Well, who can say? But I can't stop dead in my track"

- Yeah Bastard, that is the spirit – Ed lift his right-hand smiling. Mustang didn't bother to hide the little smile, proud of himself to be following the footsteps of the youngest alchemist. After all, if a child can move on without a leg and a arm, he, a Colonel, must move on too, after all what is a little blindness when you have a goal to achieve?

"So Fuher? Or before you get that, Ishval?" Knocs asks, and Riza has a little smile on her face, she is proud of her friend. "The Ishvalan War of Extermination. That is where this all started …" Mustang and his team had a sour face, remembering the events. "Yeah, both for you, and for me."

- What does he mean? – Asked Zampano, still kind of lost with all the new faces and new names.

- We met in the Extermination War, I fried them and he examined – Mustang said shortly, the others didn't ask to him to clarify as it seemed to be a sore subject.

"Now it's time to come to terms with it" Knocs seems surprised "Come to terms?" Mustang was decided "First, I'm going to open the closed-off Ishvalan areas. Them, I'm going to return the Ishvalans living in the slums back to their holy land. There's still a lot to be done"

Scar also made up his mind. He stood up and went to stop in front of Mustang who also stood up. Mustang team and Edward were on alert in case Scar decided to do something rash, while the others were watching and waiting to see what would happen.

- This is true? You are really intended to help Ishvalan, even being one of the State Alchemist that helped to destroy it? – His eyes were cold, but Mustang held his own

- Yes. Ever since the War of Extermination, my only goal was to become Fuher so I could fix all the wrong, starting with Ishval

Scar's eyes were intense, looking through Mustang, trying to see a lie. When he was satisfied with what he saw, Scar extended his left hand, the one without the tattoos, to Mustang.

- If this is really your intention, them you can count on my help. I will hold my revenge and wait to see what will come from you.

Mustang smiled, while everyone else relaxed. He accepted the hand

- Let's work together for a better future them – With the deal sealed both returned to their seats with a new hope.

"It was because of Scar and the other Ishvalans that we were able to make it through all of this. We have to return the favor for all that they've done." Fuery says while Breda agrees. Fallman them enters the room holding a pile of books. "Colonel, I brought the materials you requested." Knocs was still stunned, and Hawkeye continues "This won't blot out our sins, but we would like to start with whatever we can do." Knocs huffs "Good grief, all of you. Hey, Marcoh, looks like they'll save us the trouble of asking" This catch Mustang attention "Marcoh? Doctor Marcoh?" Doctor Marcoh enters the room, his face is all disfigured.

- What happened to Doctor Marcoh – Armstrong asks worried about his friend

- He was captured by the homunculus, Scars rescued him, but to stop the homunculus to capture him again, Scar did this so he wouldn't be recognized.

- Hey, now that I realized. Where am I? – Ask Havoc frowning, why was he not with the rest of the team?

- Well, during one of the fights you … you lost the feeling in your leg, and them you decided to retire, but don't worry you helped defeat Father.

Mustang looks down, his subordinate would never walk again.

Approaching the bed Marcoh turned to Mustang, and in his hand a philosopher stone "Colonel Mustang, I have a philosopher stone here. Might we not be able to return your eyesight with this?" Mustang seems surprised and them downcast, Marcoh also seems down when he continues "This Stone was one that I created using Ishvalan lives. I think it would be presumptuous of me to ask, but if it were to aid in the reestablishment of Ishval… No, I am not able to hear their voices so this will be a request from me, personally. I would like to heal you with this Stone. For the sake of Ishval!" Mustang still had a sad look "They might be upset over this, Fullmetal, too."

- You should use it Colonel – All faces turned to Ed surprised that he would agree with it, except Al who nodded in agreement. Mustang was the most shocked.

- What? Why would I use it? You too also had the opportunity and you never used even through you were looking for it for four years, so I should I?

- Because, Mine's and Al's bodies were our fault, we wanted to bring mom back and we were arrogant to think we could. So, we will not use the lives of innocents to fix our mistakes. But you Colonel didn't want to do the transmutation, you were forced to do this and you paid a lot for this – He said with a conviction that hit everyone in the room. Al nodded beside him; his Brother was right.

"But I will use it anyhow. I will devote all my efforts on that basis" Mustang sounded sure of this, and Hawkeye smiled proud at him "Before I do, however, there is someone who needs that Stone more them I do. I will go after he does." The scene changes to Havoc answering the phone and Breda telling him to go to the central.

- Boss … - Havoc was touched that his superior, his friend, would stay more time than necessary blind just so he could be healed first.

- Ok, so I am going to skip a few parts. Just so you know, General Armstrong and Major Miles asked Scars to join them and general Grumman became the new Fuher.

The scene changes to Resembol, Al is sitting taking a break and besides him there is a mullet "Are you okay?" When Al lift his head is possible to see that he has gained a little of mass, but is still underweight, and his hairs is cut short. "I didn't think that my muscles had atrophied so much" Edward always worried about his little brother "Want me to carry you?" Al smiles, "No, that's okay. I'll walk on my own legs" Ed didn't insist, he probably already knew the answer. "I'll come back at my own pace. Brother, you go on ahead" But Edward denies "No. We left home together and we're gonna return home together."

Edward and Al exchanged a look, doesn't matter how much they passed trough they would still have each other.

Al stand up a little shake and Ed get prepared to pick him up if he fell. But Al regain equilibrium holding on the cane. "Okay then, let's go home together." They start to walk again, but Ed is lipping a little "Brother, your leg…" Ed smile dismissing "Yeah, I haven't maintained it for a while, so…"

- Hey, what was that for? – Edward now on the floor, yelled while rubbing his head where Winry had hit him with the wrench

- You need to be more careful with my automail - She was also yelling, with another wrench on hand. After a while Al stopped the fight and they all returned to their seats.

Al looked at his brother's back for a moment and them thanked him. "Huh? What for?", but Al decided not to continue. He them changed the topic "Come to think of it, I wonder If Ling and the others have made it back to Xing yet", Ed signed "It's been two months already. They've probably made it by now." Al seemed satisfied with the answer, but them he looked down a little worried. "I hope May is okay", Ed smiled convicted "Don't worry about it. Leave her to him"

- Leave me to who? What is happening? – May was anxious, If she didn't got the stone, them her clan would … No, she couldn't let this happens, she traveled all the desert to find a way to help her clan and she would not fail!

- Don't worry. Ling got a Stone and will become the emperor, but he also promised that he would protect and help all the other clans, yours included.

- Really, you will do that? – She turns to Ling with her eyes full of tears, and for the first time in a really long time Ling looked at her as his little sister, and not as a rival.

- Yes, I promise – Smiling he hugged her while she cried in his shoulder. Lan Fa and Fu were looking proud at their young master, he would be a great emperor.

"A lot has happened, huh?" Reminisced Al "Yeah, Especially for you, Alphonse. You seem to have become quite fond of May Chang the princess of Xing" Ed says teasing Al, who didn't fall for his brother antics "She really is a nice girl, huh?"

Ed started making kisses motions to Al, who different from the Al in the scene, was embarrassed. Winry, Pinako and even Hohenheim couldn't help but laugh at the brother's antics, it was really nice to see the two behave like real teenagers.

"But never mind me, Brother, are you sure about Winry?" Ed's face changed and he stopped walking, Al stopped beside him and both looked ahead were they could see Pinako's house. Den is shown sleeping on the front door.

- Wait, what does he mean? Are you sure about me what? Edward – Winry looked from Ed to the screen and back to Ed, her cheeks pink with embarrassment What he could mean by that?

- I don't know neither. This is the future – He was equally flushed, what could he mean by that?

- Well, let's finish watching then – Sig was amused with the young love. He was the same way when he first met Izumi and started to fell for her.

Den wakes up when Ed and Al arrive at the house, but he looks confused until Al says it is him. The scene changes to shown Winry sleeping on the kitchen table and being woke up by Den's barks. "Do we have visitors?" she looks confused. She stands up and start to went to the door, but she stops when she hears Al's voice "Den, you're tickling me" while she walks almost in a trance to the front of the house, the scene shows pictures of the three of them as children.

- Awn you're all so cute! But not as cute as my Elisia, look what she did yesterday – Hughes start showing them the pictures, and he would keep doing it if the Ice Queen hadn't ordered for him to sit so they could finish watching.

Winry finally opens the door, and find Ed standing while Al is on the floor with Den licking him. Al stand's up when he sees Winry, she has tears in her eyes. She run and jumps on the making all three falls down. They hug for a while, and them she lift herself a little, tears running down her cheeks "Welcome home, dummies!" Ed smiles "Yeah" and Al replies "We're home".

- That is so beautiful, they are finally reunited after years of suffering – Openly sobs Armstrong, taking of his shirt and putting all three in a bear hug. While Al and Winry were conformed about their fates, Ed was still trying to escape the hug.

-WHY DID YOU TOOK YOUR SHIRT OF?!

The other were also really happy for the children, they were all laughing and smiling at them. Hohenheim had a few tears in his eyes, his boys would be okay.

The scene changes and Ed is shown on the roof of the house trying to fix the roof, but hitting his own finger instead.

Two years later

- Two years later, this mean that I must be 18 and Al 17

- So, this is finally it, how this all saga ends – Al smiles to his brother

They both ignore the Colonel who is laughing at Ed for hitting his own finger.

"I am not very good at this" He says bringing the finger to his lips. He them clap his hands together and tries to fix the roof with alchemy, but he doesn't success. "I guess that won't work". He climbs the rest of the roof and admires the view. He is not a boy anymore, he is taller and broad, his face is more muscle and his long hair is tied in a ponytail.

- Wow look at this, who would believe, the piskpesk finally grow up – Mocked Mustang, but at the same time he was feeling a little proud that his protegee had grown so much

- WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BEAN-SPOUT MIDGET?

- Brother calm down, Colonel didn't said that

While Al tried to calm down Ed the other were thinking about how much the young boy had changed, he wasn't only taller, he also looked more mature.

"Oh, well" he smiles "Brother, aren't you done fixing it yet?" Al asks "I'm worn out from making all those courtesy calls. Winry is such a slave driver about that" he complains without really meaning it. "I mean, after all …" Al stops Ed's rant climbing on the roof to join him "Winry says that once the apple pie is done baking, we'll have a snack" standing beside his brother Al open a big smile "Wow, you can see especially far today, huh?" Both brothers stay side by side admiring the view. "Brother, I've been thinking about something for a long time" Al start "I've probably been thinking about the same thing." The brothers stay admiring the view.

- What? What are you two thinking of? – Havoc was starting to get impatient with all the suspense. And for the look of the other faces, he wasn't the only one. Ed and Al exchanged a look, they had an idea about what their future selves were thinking, but they didn't want to say in case they were wrong.

The scene changed, Al was drinking tea on Hughes house, in front of him were Gracia and Elisia a little older now.

- Wow, look at my beautiful Gracia and my little Elisia! Elisia is so cute, and my wife is amazing, don't you agree – They had to wait a little for Hughes to stop fangirling over his wife and daughter.

"Isn't Edward bummed out about his left leg" Gracia asks "He's all right. He saud he was okay with leaving his leg as automail as an admonishment to himself."

Al was a little upset that he couldn't get his Brother leg back, but he knew his brother would never let him try specially since they got almost everything back.

- Damm, this does sound like something I would do

"Besides, he says that Winry would get all melancholy without it." Gracia and Elisia laugh "Oh, now he's just carrying on"

Ed and Winry made eye contact but soon looked the other way, both blushing really hard. The adults in the room were all laughing at the teens expense. Winry was internally really happy that Ed would go that far for her

"I sure am glad you're back to normal." A picture of Hughes, Gracia and Elisia is shown "I'm sure he's thrilled, too"

- Wait, what does my Gracia means by that? Where am I? – Hughes had a bad feeling about this. Mustang frowned. *

- I didn't want for you to find out but … You die, you are killed by a homunculus – Even the capped woman who hadn't showed emotions until them seemed closed to tears.

Mustang closed his fists 'Damm', Hawkeye looked at him worried. The room become really somber, Ed was trying to comfort Winry who was crying, but he was also having a hard time getting over the news. Hughes felt like he had a hole in his stomach. He couldn't believe he would die and leave his girls behind. Even trough he was suffering he knew there was nothing he could do now, so he stood up and went to sit beside his best friend. He gave Roy a smile while squeezing his shoulder.

- Sorry mate, but it seems I can't help you become fuher – And if he didn't know better, he could see small tears on his friend's eyes.

They all stayed in silence for a almost half hour, they all need the time to think about everything that had happened and to absolve the news about Maes death. After they all had sat down again and composed their selves, the show come back.

"We were afforded a lot of happiness, a lot of happiness, in a lot of places by a lot of people, including Mr. Hughes. And so, now, we feel it's our turn to return the favor." Al says smiling "Is that the equivalent exchange, like the alchemists say?" Gracia asks "No, by taking ten, and giving ten, it all ends up the same. So, we take ten, put something of ourselves on top of it, and return eleven. It is not much, but it's a new principle we've hit upon. Now we have to go and prove it."

- Wow, can we really do that? – Al was getting excited about the idea, and looking beside him he could see that his brother was also excited about it.

- I don't know boys, but this is really a god idea -Mused Mustang

- And If there are someone who can make this happen is you two for sure – Izumi showed her approval, she could have all the mean face and be tough on the boys, but she was really proud of them.

"There is something you want to do, them?" asks Gracia "There was a girl we were unable to save. We will never be able to forget that girl"

Ed and Al looked downcast, Nina would always be a sorry subject to them, they could never forget or forgive themselves for failing her. Mustang looked at the boys worried, at the time that this had happened he tough this would be a shock on the boys but that they would eventually get over this, but now seeing that even two years latter the events still hunted the teens, he started to think if wouldn't be a good idea to get them to talk with a professional about all this.

The scene changes and now Zampano and Gerso were show in a restaurant eating like there is no tomorrow.

- Yo, look it's us! – Zampano stands up with excitement to finally show up, looking at Gerso who is also smiling

- Yeah! We are finally on the screen – They both hi five happy

Alphonse is shown entering the restaurant and greeting Gerso and Zampano. He sits down with them and ask for food too. "So, you're done paying all your regards?" Zampano asks "Yeah", Gerso ask then "So them, it's just about time" Al agree "We're going to Xing. I plan to study alkahestry in full swing from May. And not just Xing. I'd like to travel around all the eastern countries, and study all sorts of things. I want to see many different sites, lean many different things, and meet many different people." He says really excited

- That is a great idea Al – Ed was smiling at his brother. Then he opened an evil smile – Only you and the princess huh

- Brother! – If he could he would be red by now because of his brother teasing.

"So then, you're really coming along?" He asks the other two "Of course we are!" They answer together "If we tag along with you, good thing will follow" Zampano says "That's what our animal instincts are whispering to us" They were both really extra and Al laugh a little embarrassed. "Alphonse, we're going to find a way to get our original bodies back. You're the one who told us not to give up."

Zampano and Gerso fist bumped smiling. They would get their bodies back; they could feel it.

"You brother isn't going to Xing?" they asked "I'm going to East, and Brother is going to obtain more knowledge. And then, by bringing the knowledge of East and West together, we may be able to keep the tragedy of Nina from ever happening again. However… Brother and I are doing more than just that. We want to see just how big the world is"

- That is a great idea boys – Hohenheim surprise them by speaking after staying quiet for so long – Now that you two don't have to worry about getting your bodies back, you should travel and explore the most you can

Mustang and his team agreed with him, these boys deserved this after all they passed through.

"Remember to oil it every day. Be sure to check that the screws are tight, too. Be sure to wipe off the water when you get out of the tub" Ed and Winry are shown on the train station. Winry is advising Ed about his automail, but he seems to have his mind in something else "Hey, are you listening?" She asks impatient. They hear the train arriving and Ed seems troubled by something. "Good grief, you're going to break it and have to come back again like that." He turns his back on her to enter the train "Yeah, yeah, I know" Winry just smile "Whenever, you need maintenance, be sure to call for an appointment", he stops with one foot on the train "Appointment?" He tuns around facing Winry, but doesn't says anything. "What? Come out and say it" If possible, he seems even more flushed and nervous

Ed couldn't look at Winry, he didn't know for certain what his future self would say but he had an idea and he was already blushing by it. The adults were smiling at the teens in love

"Equivalent exchange!" He says loud, his face red "I'll give you half of my life, If you give me half of yours!" He hold his breath, really worried. Winry looked down exasperate "Why do alchemists have to be like this? The principle of equivalency exchange is all nonsense, isn't it?" Ed was even more nervous "What did you say?" Winry looked done "It really is nonsense. Never mind half, I'll give you all of it" She says firmly.

Ed and Winry blushed really hard.

Ed seemed surprised, it was Winry turn to blush "Okay, not all of it. Ninety percent … No, 80 percent. Seventy … no, that won't work. Okay, 85. Yeah! I'd be willing to give you that much" She blabbed really nervous and flushed. Ed started laughing annoying Winry. "Sorry. You really are amazing! You turn equivalent exchange on its ear so easily!" Winry pouted "What do you mean, are you making fun of me?" Ed stands up and approach Winry, he is at least two heads taller than her "No, I'm not. You've cheered me up. Thanks. I'm off" he says hugging her tight. She hugs him back and smile "Yeah, come back soon"

- Wow Fullmetal, you got yourself a girl – Teased Mustang. Both teens were even more embarrassed, even thought this was the future, the feeling were already in then.

Pinako and Hohenheim were smiling brightly happy that their kids were finally together. Al was happy for them and even happier for himself because now he wouldn't have to be in the middle of all that sexual tension.

Hughes thought this would be the perfect moment to tease Roy about his lack of girlfriend, even more amused after he saw the other man looking longing at his first subordinate. Riza saw the look the Colonel was giving her and replied with a small smile, who knows what the future could bring?

The train is show leaving and Winry stays at the station. A woman approaches her "Well, well, Edward is off on a trip, too? They ought to just settle down a while" But Winry says "They're better off this way. Men that sit around doing nothing are no fun". Edward is sitting on the train "There's no point to lessons that don't bring with them pain. People can't gain anything without sacrificing something, after all. But once you've successfully endured that pain, you gain a heart that is stout enough not to be overcome by anything. Yeah, a heart made Fullmetal."

- Wise words Edward – Izumi says.

- I can't believe that is all over – Al says smiling

- Me neither

- You two. I am really proud of you, you too faced so much pain and you got over everything – Said Pinako to her surrogate grandsons

- I am proud too, and I am sure your mother would be proud as well – Hohenheim says making both boys smile.

The show is finally over but a few pictures are shown. Pinako besides Hohenheim and Trisha's graves. Armstrong showing his muscles to Maria Ross and Denny Brosh. Miles and Scar side by side. Den and another dog with puppies. Ling emperor. Mustang becoming Fuher, with Hawkeye besides him. Izumi and Sig. And finally, a picture of Edward and Winry, with Al, May, Paniko and Garfiel. In Ed's arms a young boy, probably four years, and in Winry's arms a two years old girl.

- Wow, I'll become a father. Winry, we'll have two kids – Ed couldn't stop smiling. Besides him Winry was also smiling, she was still a little embarrassed about marring Ed, but she was too happy to care about this.

Mustang was being hugged by Hughes and his team who were congratulation him about becoming the Fuher.

- Well. That is it, I hope you enjoyed this – The woman said

- Yeah, this was really amazing, and now that we know all this, we can make a few changes to stop some deaths – Said Mustang looking at Hughes

- Oh no, I'm sorry. But you won't remember any of this – She said – But every time you feel like giving up you will have a feeling that everything would be okay.

Before any of them could argue the woman sent they back. They come back to their normal lives, doesn't remembering anything but with a good feeling inside. Somehow, they knew that everything would be okay.
