Chapter One
"So, what do you think of my product?" Asked a man clad in a dark grey coat and matching hat and trousers. He held a cane in his left hand that didn't seem to support his weight correctly. He was speaking to a suit of armor with glowing red eyes.
"I don't think you can really call this a 'product'. Besides, if this is what you say it is, I know some people who would love to get their hands on it," said the suit.
"How can you say this isn't a product?" the man said in dramatic disbelief, "This journal is being sold, and I, dear sir, am the seller. You see, I have spent my life working on said journal and now you come in and insult me by saying it 'isn't a product'? How dare you?" the man said in false anger.
"Clearly," the suited man said briefly, "but what I want to know is how you came across such a thing."
"Does it matter?" the man asked, obviously dodging the question.
"I suppose not, but I do need to check the contents to be sure the journal is legitimate," the suited man said, reaching for the journal. The grey clad man snatched the journal away from his gloved hand.
"I think not. I will be screwed over on this deal!" the man said, impatience taking control of his voice.
The suited man sighed, and then said, "Fine, have it your way. But when I open this journal it better have the information I desire."
"Of course, of course, now where is the money I was promised?" the man said eagerly. The armor clipped the journal onto his belt, and then reached for the other side where a rather large pouch rested when the far wall lit up with bluish white lightning. The wall suddenly exploded, sending debris flying across the small apartment. The man grabbed the head of the cane with his right hand and pulled a sword out of the length of the cane. The man swung his sword at the armor's helmet, but the suited man caught his arm and violently wrenched the sword from his hand. The suit twirled around and cut at the man that had just come through the wall but missed. Then the suit of armor pivoted on his heel and ran the grey clad man through the gut and pinned him to the wall. Then he dove out the window, and landed on the rooftop below with a roll. The man stopped momentarily to look at the man pinned to the wall, and then jumped out the window himself.
A second man came sprinting through the hole in the wall but stopped to check on the man pinned to the wall. The second man grabbed the sword and yanked the sword out him and wall. The grey suited man fell to the floor, another pool of blood already beginning to form around his body. The color in his face was draining quickly. The second man, knowing there was nothing else he could do, rushed forward and jumped through the window as well.
The suit of armor came to a stop in front of a rooftop to high to climb. He clapped his hands together then touched the floor, a pillar shooting out of the ground beneath him and launched himself onto the roof. The first man jumped forward, hitting the wall in front of him and pushed himself off the wall landing on top of the pillar. He then jumped from the pillar to the roof in front of him. The rooftop chase continued until the second man came launching over the side of the roof, cutting the armored man off. The trio came to a halt, when the suit of armor said, "So you've caught me, now what?" The two men were both blond, but one of them- the taller one- had his hair tied back in a braid. Also, he had golden eyes, as opposed to the shorter one, who had grey eyes.
"Now, we kick your ass!" yelled the taller one.
So this is my first fanfiction (fan fiction?) so I thought I'd start it off with a bang. Just in case you're curious, I decided to make Ed slightly taller than Al, at least for the beginning. Any thoughts on how I could make the action or dialogue or even the descriptions better that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm probably going to be updating my story every week, mainly because I have most of my first couple of chapters already written out.
P.S. I've updated the chapters and description because I had forgotten the epilogue had taken place two years after the Promised Day. Now my stories timeline won't conflict with the anime/manga timeline.
