    • Meanwhile: Inside the Gate:

    Unknown Place… and Unknown time.

    (??? POV)

    You were supposed to be dead.. .the Gate Swallowed you, Gluttony chomped you to bits, destroying your body… You saw your mother again, you clasped her hands and followed the light…

    You accepted your fate, a fate that was no worse than the hell you lived in life, from manipulations, from horror… from losing the only people who cared about you… thrown away like garbage.

    You wanted to redeem yourself… and in a way you did. Redemption was only found in death.

    So here you were… standing in the white void… with a being of energy smiling back. It was like a human… bald, without eyes, without skin… only white teeth… and a smile that filled you with a sense of dread.

    But you felt the automail on your arm and leg, moving under your own power, the screws and gears moving… They were undamaged?

    That shouldn't be possible… He destroyed them when he killed you.

    "Questioning the possibility that your suffering is not over?" The voice stated.

    You faced the being. "What is this? A trick?"

    "No… merely…. An intervention. An offer to allow you to continue living. And to make up for your past mistakes. To live truly… Isn't that what you wanted?"

    The Being continued to smile, but you screamed. "I want to see my mother you son of a bitch!" You then ran forward, trying to strike at this… thing.

    The being laughed as you fell through it, falling onto the white void… you did not fall, you did not seem to fall anyway. But you touched something, and you were on your knees.

    "Your impotent rage means nothing here. The only reason you have been brought here is the subject of your creation… an anomaly that is even beyond the worlds I hold the power of… every world I've seen… only you exist in one… an absolutely unique being. You are a curiosity."

    Confusion ran through your mind, as your eyes rose. "Than what do you want?"

    "Equivalency Exchange… What do you believe you are worth?" the Truth asked.

    "I'm worth nothing," you stated. "I am dead."

    "Your Soul says otherwise." The Truth pointed to your chest. "A gift from your mother."

    The Gate behind you appeared… the Death sign from a Tarot Card. "Now… go… live… chose."
    ---------------------------------------

    You awoke as you saw the yard… of the Curtis Butchery.

    And in your view, was Izumi Curtis.

    "Mother?" You whispered as you collapsed to the ground.


    AN: 2003 Wrath... Welcome to Canon.

    You are... not going to be part of our story... for now.

    But that will change soon enough, given time, and bull.

    • I wonder what Olivier Armstrong thinks of us? Other than a curiosity that survived interviewing her.

    Wrath in Brotherhood. Guess Truth wants to give us back up so we don't die too soon.

    I picture MC using Alchemy and using spikes to basically hold the Entire conflict hostage.

    I don´t really know what to think of this, I mean I am not even sure that Izumi´s child has even been conceived at this point in time.

    And I don´t really know how a literally transplanted character from the 2003 anime fits here in the Brotherhood/Manga universe, Dante fits pretty well on this continuity because here she/he was born in these world is simply a very powerful alchemist that allied with Father centuries ago without being connected to the 2003 canon beyond the name Dante and power set. But here this Wrath is a reborn character after his death in "that" movie, where the homunculus had a totally different origin...

    I hope that I am wrong, but if you wanted to bring back characters from 2003 I think that you should have stuck to those who could have naturally been born on the Brotherhood/Manga universe without the existence of the 2003 anime like Frank Archer, Lujon, The Tringham Brothers, Psiren ... Instead of being literally taken from a very different universe and dropped in here.

    I will say this though:

    What would Wrath pay for equivalency exchange for coming back to life?

    his memories? His powers to use alchemy? His powers to stretch and regenerate?

    Being turned into a little child, that cannot help us?

    Also according to the FMA timeline on its wiki, Izumi committed her human transmutation in 1898, 3 years prior to the quest starting.

    It will make sense my friend, I promise.

    And this is the last time it will occur in story, because everyone else already exists... as The Chaos will be enough to keep busy.

    -[X]Photo's for the Future (A Circle of Blood): Ten Thousand people have died disappeared in this conflict… but nothing seems to change. There is an eery quiet. Reward: 1D100 => 80

    It was a quiet thing… the memorial… you taking photo's are something that made it difficult for those mourning.

    The Priests gave their sermons, hoping for peace, and the small detachment of Amestrian soldiers, both the Ishvallan Garrison Battalion and the Amestrian 5th regimental rifles from Eastern Command, who were there to maintain the peace, did nothing to stop them. The gathering was not met in gunfire… but in mourning.

    They allowed the people to get home safely.

    And it was truly a sight… no more fighting, no more killing.

    Reward: You have photos of peace between warning men, and people mourning.

    If there is conflict… it won't be from them.

    -[x]interview: (The Rank and File): it seems that the soldiers are discontent with the lack of proper equipment. You will allow them to vocalize their complaints. Reward:1D100 => 31+45=76

    The Following are Interviews done by Johan Liebert, and Alfred Ailtree, between Lieutenant Sylvester Graves, Corporal Joshua Wills, and Master Sargent Graham Carpenter.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interview 1:

    J.L: And tell us, why have you disobeyed the direct orders of the General, who clearly wishes for the crackdown and punishment of the Ishvallan people for the actions on April 9th and among the rioters and troublemakers who have sprung up since the occupation and peacekeeping operations began.

    S.G: The orders that we have been given were to become part of the reinforcements of the Ishvallan Garrison who engaged with the rioters on the 9th, since then there have been sporadic, but ultimately small skirmishes with partisans and foreign agents, and mercenaries trying to drum up chaos in the region.

    A.A: Have you been reaching out to the Prophet? To request more assistance in quelling any more sessions sentiments among his people?

    S.G: Amestrian military Policy when conducting peacekeeping operations is to not allow local governments to interfere with our duties.

    J.L: And outside of policy Graves? If you were sticking to policy, General Fessler would have started a bloodbath.

    S.G: We were fortunate that the Prophet was able to calm down his citizens and working with the Garrison units to restore order and peace.

    A.A: And has General Fessler know of these agreements with your units?

    S.G: No. If he did, we would have all been executed for treason, and he would start killing people again.

    J.L: Have you been disobeying his orders regularly?

    S.G: Patrols, supply distribution, engineering projects, Alchemist protection squads, arrests for obvious crimes? No. But the nighttime raids? The Extrajudicial arrests without evidence, or trials, relocations to internment camps... The killings and executions of innocent… they get lost… Telegram office is notoriously bad… lines always get cut by some trouble makers.

    A.A: Do you fear for your life?

    S.G: I joined the Army to protect my country and its citizens. Even Ishvallans. Nothing else matters. Even Death.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interview 2:

    A.A: Why have you chosen to keep fighting in the Garrison, when your people have grievances that are Legitimate?

    J.W: I may be Ishvallan, but I joined to make a difference, make things better for my people. The Prophet wishes for healing, for the man who killed the child, took his own life in guilt. There is nothing to be gained by fighting each other.

    J.L: Even when General Fessler wished for harsher punishments on your people in retaliation for the events on April 9th?

    J.W: He's in his right to make such a request… but he knows that he will not need it.

    A.A: you would have carried it out?

    J.W: If it were legitimate yes… but now… this isn't legitimate. We'd just be committing murder.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A.A: Were there foreign agents trying to create chaos in the region?

    G.C: Yes. Cetran Agents, and Drachma Gunrunners trying to start an armed conflict.

    J.L: How many?

    G.C: Twenty, but there are probably more. They brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in Drahacman Currency, for paying bribes and getting it laundered in Ishvallan Gold…

    A.A: Ishvals gold reserves? I thought it was under State Alchemist Control?

    G.C: Don't know about that… but the Gold's been gone for months. Why do you think Fessler's been raging for increased action and raids? His ass is on the line for losing Ishval's gold supply. I don't know about you, but I think it's Cetran Spies.

    J.L Who was the Alchemist in charge of maintaining the Gold Reserves?

    G.C: I don't know, some alchemist named Dante?

    A.A: Thank you for your time.
    ------------------------------------------------------

    -[x]Spend time with Johan: You want to know the Truth about Bellview... what did he do there? Reward:1D100 => 38

    "What happened in Bellview?" You signed as you sat down, taking a sip of tea. The small house you rented was cozy and spacious… and already prepared by some alchemist to be raid proof.

    "Nothing happened." Johan scoffed. "Leave it be."

    "No."

    Johan growled. "I don't have to tell you a god damn thing, you Mute! So drop it."

    Failure.
