584 584. Ajax and the truth

The marriage went very well. But something happened that night when Ajax woke up to get some water from the kitchen. He didn't have magical jugs and glasses in the Elric home.

~Ah, why is it getting so warm this year? Is this global warming? But grandpa made sure that the industrialisation has minimal effect on the environment.~ he wondered while heading down.

But while passing by the room of newlywed Edward and Winry, he heard some muffled sound. Ajax thought that they needed something so he opened the door.

But when he got in, all he saw was the naked back of Winry as she hopped on the banana of Edward, who was also equally naked. Winry had covered Edward from seeing the door so they didn't find out about Ajax.

Ajax quickly closed the door and went back. His face had turned red and his heartbeat had increased.

~I FRIKIN KNEW IT~ he said to himself.

Ajax was now 10 years old and in the past 5 years, he had searched for the smuggler that brings children into the tunnel. But, as he grew up, he started questioning if what Ragnarok had told him was even the truth. He had tried to search the local Internet in Phixheim but the knowledge was age-restricted for some reason.

But now his doubts had turned into facts. ~Grandpa Raggy lied to me. There is no smuggler, there is no tunnel... wait... there is a tunnel. Oh God, how do I forget all this? It's so disgusting.~

He forgot why he had even gotten up and went back to sleep. But he couldn't sleep because of the memory.

"What happened, kid?" Hats asked? He was sleeping in the other bed.

"Hats, I just saw Ed and Winry. They were... th.."

"Making love? In short, smashing?" Hats asked without any care.

"What? I guess you can call it smashing. But, I'm not able to sleep now. How can doing this make babies?" Ajax asked.

"Ah, I see. You want to understand the science behind it. I guess I will have to teach you what kids usually study in 8th grade. Listen, kid, do you remember all the body parts you were taught in school?" Hats asked.

"Yes, I do. I remember all of them." Ajax nodded.

"Good, you know, the female has a body part called ovary and the lady has eggs inside there and men have sperm inside their testicles. The sperm are like little tadpoles and when they swim into the ladies egg it makes a baby. It takes 9 months for the baby to grow enough to be in good condition to come out.

"Humans only have a baby when they genuinely love their partner and want to expand their family," Hats explained.

"What about cats?" Ajax asked.

"Oh, we f*ck whenever we want and whenever we can." Hats nonchalantly replied.

Ajax just stood there. "Wait, I heard dad once say that they will give me a sibling and it's been five years since then. Why don't I have a sibling yet?"

"I don't know, maybe he pulled out." Hats replied.

Ajax's face contorted, "Ew, Hats, come on. Don't talk like that about my dad, at least. I feel even less sleepy now."

"Heh, get used to it. When you grow up, you'll do it too. In fact, you will love it." Hats said and went to sleep.

Ajax sternly denied, "No, I would never do something so gross."

...

After the marriage, Alexander got back to work. He now had to bring the purity of the world to 90%. But one thing had changed, he was not the president anymore. The first General Election had been conducted.

Alexander had now found a new way to make sure that no far-right or far-left political party grows up. All he wanted was neutral parties focused on the development of the country. So, he established 5 political parties, headed by 5 T-800 droids. With their superior mental power, they would control their party.

But, something happened that no one had expected. In the election, Olivier Mira Armstrong and Roy Mustang both had decided to fight for the position of President. But the one who won was Maes Hughes.

This happened because Hughes had become popular with his foreign policies. He was also loved by the people for his personality and also the fact that he had a family made him look better as compared to the still single military man, Mustang and too straightforward Olivier Mira Armstrong.

So, Hughes became the first elected president of the USA. Or the 2nd if you were to go by the number. Alexander slowly got away from the spotlight and only supported Hughes from the dark while focusing on the rest of the world.

9 months later, as Ajax had expected, Edward became a father and Hohenheim became happier. Even Izumi Curtis had her third child just recently and she was aiming for more.

Alexander had silently banned the alchemical ritual to make the philosopher's stone. Punishment for this crime was death. Also, because of Alexander's free Alchemy classes, the people became a bit more knowledgeable about it and learned its dangers.

"Hughes, I will be leaving now, it is your duty to run the country," Alexander revealed.

"What? Where are you going?" Hughes asked.

"Away from this world. I came here to rid the world of evil, didn't I tell you that? Now, I have done it. I will go to some other place that needs my help." Alexander explained.

Hughes remembered that Alexander had told him this when he had saved him from dying.

"*Sigh* Well, I can't stop you. Thank you for helping this world. Without you, I don't know what would have happened. I would have died and Elicia wouldn't have a dad, that's for sure." Hughes emotionally replied.

Alexander patted his shoulder, "Don't cry now. You are a good man. I believe you can do a good job. Take care now. Say my hello to Elicia."

World purity had also slowly risen and finally reached 90%. Alexander went back to Elric's house to meet Hohenheim and finally leave.

When he reached the place, he saw Dobby playing with the son of Edward. The child was still a baby and played in Dobby's arms.

Alexander smiled, "Babies like you."

"Well, I was a house-elf, taking care of snobby brats was my job," Dobby replied.

Alexander chuckled and looked towards Hohenheim, "Congratulations to you on becoming a grandpa. I wish you luck and peace. I'll be leaving now."

Hohenheim didn't ask where Alexander was going. He understood that wherever Alexander was going, he wouldn't be returning.

"Let's go, Dobby, this time we will go to a world where we can find you a wife. I can't wait to play with your kids." Alexander said and moved away.

Dobby handed the child back to Hohenheim, Ajax also came to them after saying goodbye to his friends. Ragnarok had stopped mining already as he was running out of space in his cave in Dracheim.

Alexander looked up in the sky, "Old man, send us somewhere we can find a suitable girl for our friendly neighbourhood elf."

In reply, a simple golden light fell on them and took them away. By now, Dobby had become strong enough to travel the multiverse with him, without going into his dimensional pocket.

While flying, Alexander asked him, "What kind of wife do you want?"

"Any kind, as long as she's smart, strong and is kind," Dobby replied.

"With those standards, I don't think it will be very hard. What's left to be seen is where the old man will send us." Alexander muttered and waited to touch the ground of the new world.

...

After Alexander was gone, not much change happened in the world of Alchemy. As alchemy spread worldwide, Amestris became the centre of Alchemical study. Hohenheim died 50 years later after seeing his great-grandson. He withered away right in front of his wife's grave. With a smile on his face, hoping to see her in heaven finally.
