In Which the Story Goes to Even More Crap(Part 1)

Edward and Roy both glared at Colt, who was staring calmly at them with hatred shining in his eyes. "Oh, I remember my defeat well. For five months I've been thinking about the day where I could defeat BOTH of you, so you can understand my pain of how it felt when you defeated me!" Colt suddenly pulled out his .357 magnum and pointed it at the ceiling above Ed, Al, Roy, Riza, Havoc, Falman, Breda, Fuery, Natsue, Inoue, Arakawa, Shimomura, Nomoto, and the other soldiers and shot a bullet.

Natsue and the others were confused. "What's THAT going to do?" Natsue asked.

Unfortunately, she received her answer a second later when the group realized there was a chandelier on the ceiling, suddenly tumbling down on top of them.

Roy panicked and readied his glove. "Everyone, DOWN!" He ordered as he snapped his fingers and a big burst of flame flew in front of the chandelier, destroying it in mid-air.

Colt glared. "Everyone! Attack!" He screamed as he and the other terrorists raised their guns and shouted war cries.

"Keep it kid friendly!" Ochi's voice was heard over the speakers.

Everyone paused and then resumed again, charging at the small group in front of them.

"What do we do?" Inoue asked in a panicked tone.

"What else? We fight!" Havoc said as he cocked his gun. "But I agree with Ochi. Keep it kid friendly."

Everyone nodded. "Alright! Let's fight!" Edward shouted as he charged forward at the same time the terrorists did.

Ten terrorists charged at Edward, Alphonse, Riza, and Roy, who had their backs against each other.

Roy smirked. "Looks like you want to get fried! Why don't you let me do the honors?" Roy poised his fingers, ready to snap them. "Blaze! Fair Scattered!" He shouted as he snapped his fingers and made poses.

Riza was completely calm. "Colonel. I realize he said to make it kid-friendly, but I don't think he meant to act childish. Here let me show you." She said calmly as she pointed her gun at a terrorist and said sternly. "Form Piece-number 85. Cartridge Aureole!" She then shot the gun repeatedly in a circle around the terrorist, freaking him out enough to make him faint.

Edward sweat-dropped as he realized what they were doing. "You're just using synonyms...."

"Alright Brother!" Alphonse shouted as he ran forward. "It's our turn!"

Al quickly scribbled a transmutation circle in the ground with a piece of chalk and shouted, "Earth Style! Alchemic Barrage!" Huge walls of earth flew up from the ground and hit four terrorists in the head, knocking them out immediately.

Edward nodded as he charged forward and clapped his hands happily. "Sword Style! Piercing Metal!" He transmuted his right arm into a blade-because it's made out of metal- and slashed through ten terrorists, cutting their weapons cleanly in half.

The terrorists gawked at this dangerous group. Most of them started to run away.

"What are you doing!?" Colt demanded angrily. "You're all so useless! Gael!"

The large figure of Gael walked towards Edward and Alphonse who was standing a short distance away from everyone else with a goofy smile on his face.

"Oh. It's that little blond-haired rat that I didn't get to crush." Gael said lazily as he grabbed a huge container three times the size of his body. "Whatever. This is a real drag...Ice-Cream attack...Container Creamer!" Gael shouted lazily as he threw the enormous container on Ed.

Edward shouted with alarm as he tried to jump out of the way.

"Hiiii-YAH!!!!!" A female voice shouted as a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked the container into the wall. "Yeah, that's how you do it! MAGIC PUSH!" She danced in place for a few seconds until she stopped and turned towards Colt and the others. "Alright Colt, that's enough. You're going to ruin our plans."

Colt glared at her. "What are you doing here, Josei?"

Josei humphed sassy-like and tossed her long black hair that reached her waist. "I already told you. Call me Jo. Only my parents call me Josei."

*Camera Confessions*

Jo: *Blushes* T-That was supposed to be a secret...

Colt: You were the one who said it, though.

Jo: *Glares* Maybe, but it was your fault I said it anyways.

Colt: *Says smugly* Whatever you say...Josei.

Jo: *Angrily yells* I told you not to call me that!

*End of Camera Confessions*

"Anyways." Jo turned to face the group of manga characters, editors, authors, soldiers, and one secretary. "I want you to follow me. Ochi will explain everything to you in a bit. Just hold on, alright?"

Shimomura stared at her suspiciously. "How do we know we can trust you? You could be working with Colt and lead us into a trap."

Jo laughed. "Oh, you're smart. Yes, I am working with Colt. However; right now he can't harm you. He is only here to help out with our plans. Ochi will explain our plans to you in a moment. Now Colt," She glared at Colt who stared coldly back. "You need to leave. NOW!"

Colt narrowed his eyes then turned around. "Mark my words. I'll get you next time, Alchemist."

"Not a very creative last word," Natsue commented.

"I'm just wondering which Alchemist he's talking about. I mean there are three Alchemists here. And he doesn't know Al, so it's between me and the Colonel. But really, he hates us both." Edward analyzed.

"Actually Ed," Alphonse chimed in. "I think he mainly hates you for ruining his plans when he was supposed to use you as a sacrifice"

Edward glared at the suit of armor. "Yes. Thank you for pointing that out Alphonse."

Jo stared impatiently at them. "Can we hurry it up?"

*****

Jo led them to a door in the back of the room hidden behind a bunch of crates. The door led them deeper underground into a huge empty room. The only thing in the room was a huge stone chair. Sitting in the chair was Ochi himself.

"Why hello. How are you?" Ochi asked politely. Not letting them respond, Ochi continued. "I know I'm doing fine myself. After all, I plan to take over Japan."

Everyone jumped at that. Arakawa jerked her head sharply at him. "What?" She hissed.

Everyone stared at him while Ochi just gave them a cold and cunning smile. To their surprise, he started laughing.

"What's with all the dark looks? I hope you realize that I was only joking about that, right?" He said between laughs.

The group gave him a deadpanned look while the only five Japanese people in the group gave him an irritated expression. They didn't realize he was joking! It wasn't even that funny!

"So...are you going to explain to us what this is about...or...?" Breda asked uncomfortably.

"Ah, yes of course. First, let me introduce you to my two friends here. You've already met Josei. Jo is a childhood friend of mine. And my other friend...Toko, get out here!" Ochi stated this last part in an annoyed tone.

"Ah. Sorry, Ochi." A deep voice said as a man came out of the shadows. He scratched the back of his head nervously before introducing himself. "Hi there. I'm OToko. But you can just call me Toko."

Inoue blinked. "Wait...your name is Ochitsuita, which means calm...her name is Josei, which means female....and his name is OToko, which means...Man...? Really?"

Jo shrugged. "I don't see what's so wrong with our names. I, for one, like my name." She tossed her hair proudly.

"Yeah, well moving on. So really, we're just planning to...." He gestured dramatically. "....make a party!"

The jaws dropped off everyone in the room except Ochi, Jo, and Toko.

"W-W-W-WHAT!?" Natsue stuttered.

"W-wait a minute...what about Colt and..." Roy started to say but was interrupted by Toko who continued to explain.

"That's because Colt, Gael, and the terrorists are also invited to the party. And so is everyone else involved or mentioned..." Toko showed them a book that he held in his hands. No one even realized that he was holding a book. The book was Fullmetal Alchemist: The Abducted Alchemist. "...in this book." Toko paused. "Well actually, one character that isn't mentioned in this book is coming to the party...."

"Anyways, the party will be held at Shonen Gangan. It's tomorrow at 2 PM to 8 PM" Ochi mused calmly.

"Uh...a six-hour party...?" Nomoto blinked repeatedly in a fast repetition.

Ochi shrugged. "It seemed pretty reasonable. After all, a lot of people are invited."

"Question." Karin raised her hand timidly. "How many characters are going to come, exactly? And are we going to be able to go home afterward?"

The others nodded at her question. It made sense, after all.

"Ah. Every character mentioned. The innkeeper, the innkeeper's wife, the travelers at the tavern, the Military Policemen, the ladies Roy talks to on the train...and even a few civilians who actually spoke in the book." Jo answered, ignoring the shocked looks that she received,

"Oh yeah, Winry Rockbell is coming too," Ochi said, amused at the shocked looks he received from Edward, Alphonse, and Arakawa.

"W-Why is she coming?" Edward stuttered.

"Just because. She's already at Shonen Gangan, waiting in Shimomura's office. And so are all the other characters. We're lucky you have such a big office, Shimomura-san." Ochi laughed in an inaudible way. "Yeah. So basically, we're the ones who brought you here. We're doing this for an experiment per se, and the theory is called, "The book project of a stressed sixth grader"."

"HUH?"

Ochi paused. "Honestly, I don't know where that came from. I think it's called 'breaking the fourth wall'....eh whatever." Ochi just shrugged it off.

"So you know how to get us home?" Cane interrupted.

"Technically speaking, yes. Yes, I do know how to get you home."

The manga/book characters exchanged excited looks. They were finally about to go home!

"I guess we should hurry up and get ready for the party then," Sklak said, causing the other characters to cheer.

"Don't you feel like...I don't know...something isn't right?" Arakawa asked Roy and Edward.

Ed nodded. "I know. But let's play along for now. If anything else happens we'll interfere and stop him from doing whatever he plans on doing."

Arakawa and Roy both nodded. "I guess we should be going then. Hiromi...lead the way!" Roy said dramatically as everyone walked out of the room, following Shimomura, Inoue, Nomoto, and Arakawa.

Ochi chuckled as they left. "Soon....my plans will fall into place...."
