Chapter thirteen is up! Chapter 13 of the Rangers Cook Off"Now ladies, and it look like six gentlemen in the audience it's time to vote for your favorite daughter, just pick on from keypad next to your seats to-" Ed says before a pushy spirit takes the mike away.

"MY LITTLE MAKA-WAKA NEEDS YOU TO VOTE FOR HER" say Spirit. "Dad I've told you not to do this" Maka says as she gets out of the stage chair pull a mirror out of her pocket, fogs it up and writes "42-42-564" and proceeds to talk in to it like a telephone.

"Lord Death it's me Maka could you send someone to pick me up...Yeah he's done it again...I don't know how I think he's insane...No this time there is no pie...I understand apple is the b

1: - Chapter One: The Chaos Begins            Tamaki hurried down the stairs with an overflowing cardboard box held between two excited hands. "Oooooh, they'll love this!" He sang to himself as he took the steps two at a time. "Master Tamaki, your guests are getting rather... antsy." One of Tamaki's maids caught him as he was about to jump over the last five steps. "And if you do that, the stairs will break." She turned away and continued up the stairs. Tamaki waited until she was out of sight before he jumped cleanly over the steps. 
            A sudden cracking made the King whirl around. The maple staircase that curved so delicately to the side had split precisely down the middle. Tamaki raised his eyebrows. Oopsie. He ran away with his burden before anyone could realize what he had done.
            Tamaki turned the corner into one of the many parlor rooms scattered throughout his mans

2: - Chapter 2: Of Flour, Fanmail, and Sparkles“Next, we need to preheat the oven! Spirit, would you tell us how high we need to set it?” the king of flower power – I mean, the king of the host club chirped. The red haired man didn't even bother to look up from his extensive photo album as he grabbed the recipe.
“ Three hundred and fifty degrees,” he read, quickly returning to the pictures of his daughter. “Look at my little Maka! Isn't she just the cutest thing you've ever seen?” Ed snatched the album away from him.
“I guess there's a Hughes in every universe,” he grumbled. He was lucky he had automail, considering how quickly Spirit attacked him to get the photo album back. As Zero began wondering why the hell he was there in the first place, Fai grinned.
“I'll do it, Tamaki!” he ran over and preset the oven.
“Thank you, Fai. Now, Dark, would you kindly bring me the flour?” the blonde asked.
“What? You can't use that mystical fairy flower t

3: - Chapter 3: Impeachment of the Prince“Well, this is just great…” Ed replied, still completely covered in the sparkles.  “This show is going just peachy. We are all covered in Armstrong schtick, our oven is useless, and so is our flour. Why? Because we had to have some idiot take control of all this! Whose idea was it to put him in charge again!?”

Everyone looked at each other. Ed looked to Dark, who looked to Spirit, who looked to Fai, who looked to Zero, who looked to Tamaki, who looked back to Ed.

“I kind of saw this coming…” Zero replied. “Well, after this fiasco, it will be pretty difficult to continue the show, would

4: - Chapter 4: A New Leader'Looks like Zero's the new leader.' the Colonel thought while she's in the audience watching from behind the door. She then leaves the room and walks down the hall. She wore a uniform similar to the uniform worn by the State Alchemists, except it's red like Ed's coat. But it also has a flamel symbol on the back of her jacket,just like on the back of Ed's coat, and she wore short-shorts and long high-heel boot that reach to her thighs. She can also be seen with her hair up or down depending on the look you think looks sexy for her.

"We're leaving General, we're heading to the meeting room." she said to the General of the Rangers.

"As you say

5: - Dissention in the RanksChapter 5: Dissention in the Ranks
Zero glared sullenly at the camera, trying hard as he could to ignore the fact that the others had just shoved a great big, pink, “Kiss the Cook” chef’s hat on his head. The surrounding audience continued to giggle.
“So, we’re baking a cake and you want me to be in charge?” Simultaneously the girls nodded. “Alright, fine.”
Fai grinned. “Go Zero! Taking charge!”
“But-! But-!” Tamamki brought out his puppy face. “I’m the King of the Host Club!” Unsurprisingly, they all ignored him.
“So we need to bake this dumb cake-“

6: - Chapter 6: Don't try this at homeChapter 6: Don't try this at home

And we rejoin our heroes; two of whom are fighting over a mixer, while it splatters goop all over the room, one of whom is being held by two very large security guards, and one other who is trying to resist the urge to lash out violently, one was searching for matches.

This show had to be more exciting than those boring shows like Emeril at least.
The security guard dropped Ed back on the ground and towered over the alchemist. “Now listen here little alchemist,” the guard said as Ed got back to his feet. When Ed stood back up, the guard decided to use Ed's head as an armrest.

“Little... L

7: - Chapter 7: What is Cooking? Chapter 7: What is Cooking?

“Ladies and the occasional guy watching this show, we now will be taking a short break from the actual “cooking”  part and continue with our commercials. However, since I never planned things would get this... uh colorful and since this is a alive audience, we shall now interview the cast members until we can get this mess cleaned up.” Tamaki stated trying his best to stay upbeat.
“I thought Zero was the leader,” came a remark from a moody little alchemist who at the moment was shirtless and covered in foam.
“It’s not like I care,” came Zero’s reply.

8: - Ranger Roleplay: Chapter 8“And now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s us resume the show!”
The lights shone on the set, finally cleaned of the clutter from earlier. It almost looked brand-new; which wouldn’t have been a surprise to any, due to their location. All the equipment had been polished and shined to perfection again, but that was nothing compared to the boys.
“The hell did you put us in?” Ed muttered to Tamaki, tugging on his shirt.
Tamaki couldn’t help but grin. “Only the finest in culinary fashion,” he replied, striking a model’s pose. The show’s host had bathed and changed their outfits; they all

9: - Ranger Roleplay, Ch. 9: When Life Gives You Feta    Greece let out a quiet purr as Prince Baka rubbed a thumb against his surprisingly soft cat ears. His purr was rough and less catlike than he intended; his voice sounded more like a soft wave against a beach than a pleased feline.
    Meanwhile the other boys were confused as to how they now had several bags of feta instead of flour. Ed voiced everyone's thoughts first while he stared at the feta that was now spilling slightly onto the floor that had just been cleaned minutes ago.
    "How are we supposed to make a cake with cheese?!"
    Greece suddenly snapped up and said, "Cheesecake."
    After several pairs of eyes turned on him he shrugged. "Well, not exactly a cheesecake, but it does have feta in it. It's a nice recipe, and it's not that hard..."
    Someone from backstage ran up with a piece of paper and handed it to Zero--trying hard to avoid Tamaki so he didn't snatch it away--it was the recipe

10: - RCH Story Chapter 10. Flaming Doughnuts@KidnappedTamaki stood and brushed himself off.
 “Hey...is everyone alright? “ Everyone nodded Sea of doughnuts leering over them ominously.
 “NOOO! THE CAKE IS UNDER THE SWEETS! HOW IS MY CUTE LITTLE MAKA GOING TO GET HER CAKE NOW?!?” Spirit started digging through the pile on his hands and knees. Soon joined by Tamaki . Edward, Dark and Zero had been completely covered in powder and melted chocolate, making them look like the worlds worst ghosts with brown splotches. Spirit screamed like a little girl as he found the bowl, it and its containments surprisingly intact. As he picked it up, the mountain of candy burst into flame

11: - Chapter 11 - What Really HappenedWinry smirked evilly as she swung the feta bag menacingly in front of her. Her prisoner gulped.
"Mmm phnt oo mmeephng!"
"Sure you didn't. Not alone, anyway. What I'm here to find out, is why you would aid him in such a ridiculous scheme!"
"Pheme?!"
Winry rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb. All the cow in Amestris have stopped producing milk and it's obviously alchemy! And if you weren't involved, do you care to explain-" She pulled out a black feather "this?"
Dark's eyebrows furrowed and he began pulling on the licorice that bound his wrists. How the heck were they holding him?
"Hmm mpht oompheephng wiph phat phipskep!"
Somewhere, Edward sneezed. Winry looked utterly confused and un-gagged him.
"What?"
"Never mind. I've ben framed and- What the hell's with this licorice?"
She held up her palm and put her other hand to her ear. Her eyes widened and she paled visibly. Moving quickly, she flipped out a pocketknife and cut the licorice then ran off.
Rubbing his wrists, Dark looked ar

12: - Chapter 12- The beginning of the *possible* end..."GYAAAAAH!!!! MUSTANG PUT ME DOWN PUT ME DOWN PUT! ME! DOOOOOOOOOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Edward screamed and kicked as the flame alchemist just casually ran through the chaos, out the door, to his military truck and threw Ed inside.
"Shut up, shorty." Roy snapped at Ed, pulling the car out of the driveway and begining to leave.
"The least you could do is put some clothes on..." Edward muttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the meantime, Spirit was still shoving pictures of Maka in Winry's face, and, for some reason, COMMODORE MAES HUGHES DECIDED TO POP IN!!
"HELLO!!!! Hey, Winry, did Roy pass through here?" Winry, seeming to make a fast recovery, sat up for about three seconds to sanswer.
"Yup...." Then the blue-eyed blonde passed out again.
"Okay. See, he was out drinking, and..." Maes looked down, only to see an unconsious Winry.
"Oh, I see, you're busy. Alright then." 
Tamaki piped up.
"Well hello there, my good sir, may i interest you in-"

Hello everybody! ^__^

You all know about the Comic Project, Fullmetal Alchemist: Legacy, a fan-continuation of Fullmetal Alchemist based on an idea that Vic Mignogna originally had.  

Link to Fullmetal Alchemist: Legacy Comic

EDIT: BACKGROUND ARTISTS!

Hey, guys.  Your newest Admin here!  Well, as Trixie and I have been working our backsides off to get some of this going, we came to the conclusion that we need some really good backgrounds.  The ones we have from the comic are great, but the comic focuses more on the storyline and the characters and while that works out just fine for that, for an animation...well, not so much.  

SO we're going to be needing some background artists.  These will mainly be pictures of...well, backgrounds: the shop, the house (inside and out), Risembool, Central, the train, the train stations, etc.  Now we know a lot of the scenes from the original series will work as reference, but we're going to need actual pictures to be backgrounds to our characters.  We're looking for some pretty good, high-quality pictures here, and I'd personally like to say that if anyone can draw a really messy shop you will automatically be 'hired'. So we're looking for more or less detail-oriented people here.  

Now, if you're not much into detail but still want to help, we'd still love to get references and ideas for different places and what not (if you decide to do that, send us pictures and we'll make sure to put you in the credits), but I'm asking for 2-5 people who can draw really good backgrounds.

Leave a note if you'd like to do this!

ORIGINAL ENTRY: (in case you want to know what the heck is going on)  Well, the comic is still in progress, but what might be really fun is to try and do something new with the Project!

We have permission from the artists who contributed, and if you all are alright with it, like you writers and fan artists and just all you lovely people in general, would you guys like to make an animation from the story?

What I mean by animation is a 2-D fan animation based on, presently, the 1st chapter of Fullmetal Legacy, which will continue as the chapters are completed of the original comic.  We’d try to make it as close to a real Anime episode that we can, like Fullmetal Alchemist!  Only, with Legacy’s plot.
We already have a lovely Storyboard Artist! And the contributor, Riiko has been helping me with the planning. ^^ (She said we should try it now!  So we’re gonna do our best!)

We would need to have animators involved, as well as you musicians so we can have original music.  That’s where we’d need you guys and your skills!  We’ve had fan artists, writers, cosplayers and the like all involved in the making of the actual comic, and now we’re gonna give you animators and musicians a chance to contribute with this!

An example of an awesome Fan Animation: [link]

Animators who are involved will be given a part of the plot as well as story-boards provided by our designated Artist, and will put together an animation based on what material they are given.  Animators will have to be consistent with both the material given as well as the animation work before them so that it does not feel disjointed.

Musicians who are involved will be given either a scene to compose or a part of the story, as well as information as to the feel of the story they are underscoring.  

There will be both an opening and an ending, if you are either a musician or an animator assigned to that job, you will be given special instruction.

(There will be a lot of editing work done for both the animators and the musicians so be warned that we're picky and might/probably-will ask for revisions! )

The Project itself would be completed and posted for all the Rangers to see if all goes well!  
We can't involve everybody that signs up because there are like, 9,500 of you Rangers but we'll do our best! (lol)
You guys game?  This should be something pretty amazing if it all works out!

How to sign up:
Post a comment in this topic, and sign up either to be a "Musician" or an "Animator" and provide a reference to something musically you've composed or something you have animated.
We can't involve everyone, but if you're on the list you have a better change!

Again guys, not everyone will be chosen to work on the animation!  Only a few from the list will be picked!  Otherwise we're gonna have too many by the time we start! XD
