(A Full Metal Alchemist/Azumanga Daioh fusion)

Thought this was going to be Full Metal Panic from the title.  I haven't
seen FMA yet.

Hmm... an FMP/AZD fusion... apparently-ordinary girl Kasuga Ayumu, aka
"Osaka",
must be guarded by a gun-happy teenage soldier from Mithral.  And I
suppose Chiyo
captains the submarine...

Yeah. I was surprised when two series with 'Full Metal' in the title came
out at the same time, and that they were compltely different

Nyamo felt a headache coming on. �Don�t you think that since the boss
felt compelled to hire us, he might be concerned about the actual
secrecy of the base?�

It was then a far wall to the lab exploded.

Heh.  Of course.

Even in comedy, you need some conflict.

Yukari said, �You�re the shortest ten year old I�ve ever seen. You�d be
short even for a midget.�

You know, that's true.  And she doesn't seem to grow, compared to the
other girls,
in almost three years of the series..

They comment on it at one point. It was one of the rare instances of Chiyo
acting irrational, thinking Sakaki had stolen her height.

Chiyo was quick to come to her partner�s defense. �Sakaki has never
killed anyone. And its not her fault her soul is bound in such a
fearsome looking armor. We were just normal alchemy students until our
teacher went insane and tried to perform a forbidden ritual that was
intended to transmutation of the entire class.

At this point I was expecting Chiyo and Sakaki to recognize Yukari as
that teacher
in the next breath.  So you surprised me; good.

Needed a little twist in there.

�Dog of the military?� Sakaki asked. She was suddenly overcome with the
idea of becoming a cute little puppy with an olive green beret on her
head.

LOL!  I can just see Sakaki reacting that way, too.

Thanks. The accusation got tiring fast in FMA, so this was a neat little jab
at it.

�Apparently some woman got really drunk the other day and was shouting
about working at a secret base up here in the hills with a renegade
alchemist who was studying the Philosopher�s Stone.�

Heh.  Yukari strikes again.

Thinking is not her strong point

Chiyo�s surprise turned to disgust. �You�re not my father. You�re my old
high school alchemy teacher, Kimura Sensei.�

Heh.  This was a surprise.

He had to figure in it somewhere

�I made them homunculi.�

That caught Tomo�s attention. �Homunculi? I�m no homunculi.�

�Yes you are.�

�No I�m not,� Tomo insisted.

�Yes, you are. You all are.�

Tomo placed her hands on her hips and confidently boasted. �The heck we
are. Out of all of us, only Kaorin�s ever looked at another girl.�

Heh.  Nice one!  I can just see Tomo making this mistake, too.

Heck, she thought reindeer were real. :)

Osaka pondered that. �Artificial humans? Does that mean if I were to
change sand into sugar, it would be artificial sugar?�

�Um, I don�t know,� Chiyo admitted.

Very like Osaka, too.

Yeah, one of the few lines I could give Osaka in this.

Kimura pointed to the last girl. �And Kaorin-chan is Lust, since she
lusts after me.�

�I do not!� Kaorin shouted, darting behind Yomi.

Heh.  Kimura wishes!

Yep.

Yes, as you can clearly see, nothing in common. I like Azumanga. And I
like Full Metal Alchemist. But they go together as well as oil and
vinegar, once you transmute the vinegar into helium. Best to let bad
ideas like this rest in peace.

Amusing fic.  They didn't seem to go together too badly at this length,
but I can see
where it'd be hard to go on for very much longer in this vein.

I always make them FTSNB comedies, so as to entertain as well as rant.
Actually, you probably could do it with some of them seriously, but you need
a whole lot of talent to pull it off. I do not even bother. I just skewer as
a whole
