The creation of the Philosophers stone ended with a world of devastation. A world were humanity rose from Dust, Alchemy, and Truth. The Crimson Alchemist walks the world for eternity with only Roses to keep him company and to know his truth. (Matured immortal Ed)
{} mind talk
Ed looked down at the large transmutation circle he had drawn in the dirt. Looking into the crystal blue sky the Alchemist began to talk to himself.
"A hundred years. A hundred years since Father fucked up the stone. A Hundred years of being the only living thing on this planet. A hundred years of friendless immortality" the immortal of course knew exactly why he was unable to die. A hundred years ago father attempted to make the stone and at the last moment Ed stopped him, but he could not stop the stones creation. As the legendary stone came into existence something went wrong and instead of only taking life from the continent it stole all of the human life of the whole world plugging it back into its primordial state. The circle that lay in front of him would open the Gate the endling's goal was to recreate humans he no longer wished to be alone. All the souls that found a home in his body agreed with this plan most if not all agreed that if they 'died' due to this that would be fine if it brought back humanity. Slapping his hands together Ed placed them on the circle. Like the trillions of times before when preforming alchemy a bright flash of lightning enveloped the area around him for miles. As his immortal eyes readjusted to the light given off by the flash of power the ex-Major look at the familiar image in front of him. His gate and Truth.
"Hello Ed" Edward Elric was shock Truth had never sounded so informal with the Master Alchemist.
"What's with the informality Truth"
"You're an immortal for all intentions so there is no reason for us to be formal"
"I guess you're right, so I assume you know why I'm hear"
"Of course and I fully support you, but there will still be a price"
"Name it, anything you take physically will heal, you can't take the stone, so I don't really know what you can take"
"O I won't take anything from you. No with this recreation of humanity ill create an eternal enemy called Grimm. They will feed of the negative emotion of humans and have a single goal. To kill humans and return them to dust."
"That sounds good but humanity needs something to fight back with"
"Actually you have already taken care of that"
"You'll figure it out soon, O and call me Monty Oum I rather like that name or just Oum" a blinding light spread out from the God that stood in front of Ed blinding him. As the century old man regained his senses. Looking around him is golden eyes took in the sight that lay bellow the hill he stood on. A village of the newly reborn races. Dressed in simple animal skins. As her watch his glories mind took note of what he was seeing, Truth true to his word had created Human and Faunus. As he watched Ed observed the basics of society forming within the small grove of tents. The immortal suddenly found himself wondering if this was the only intelligent settlement in all of his newly created world. As he pondered this the vice of the newly dubbed Monty Oum answered him from the deep recesses of his mind.
{No it is not settlements are scattered across then land some big some small life will prosper} Ed smile
{So Oum where is this bane of humanity you mentioned}
{Wait for it} as the omnipotent being finished his final sentence two creatures of a demonic black and white appeared from the trees. Looking like strange wolves but much deadlier the Grimm slowly walked towards the duding settlement. As they drew closer yells from the village rose into the sky. Scrambling most of inhabitants dashed for a heavily walled building. Looking at the wall Ed knew that it would not hold for long. Suddenly his military trained eyes saw a group of four walking towards the creatures. Each of the four carried a crudely forged blade of some sort. The x-Major's eyes widen as he looked on at the battle before him. The team of three men and one women quickly dispatched the wolves, sadly they only got to enjoy the victory for a second. A cluster of trees suddenly fell from the forest hitting the ground with a large crash, the act was so violent that it created a large dust cloud that enveloped the newly maid opening. As the dust began to settle a shadow formed in the mist soon the dust completely settled reviling a massive Scorpion Grimm. From his place Ed could feel the eyes of the four warriors becoming dinner plates. Suddenly three of them did something he did not expect….they ran, this made the soldier mad. Rage did not blind him like it used to, a hundred lonely years does mature a man after all, his golden eyes fell upon the only one to stay put and face the creature. Ed liked this fighter even if he had no idea who it was. He admired there courage to stand against such a monster alone. The defender of humanity produced his or her crude duel sword from under the earth brown cloak. As he stood atop his hill Ed watched as the defiant human charged at the monster, Ed know the brown cloaked person stood very little chance against this beast. This fact was proven correct when the scorpion swatted the warrior away with its claw, this action removed the cloaks hood reviling the person in question to infect be a female. Ed know what he had to do and with the voices of the souls trapped within him egging him on he ran fat as he could to save the women. As he ran the Grimm repositioned itself to deliver the final blow and Ed was too far way. Fear filled his body as he realized he would not make it in time. He was forced to watch in horror as the stinger plugged at the women's neck. Luckily she managed to roll at the last second casing the stinger to miss and plunge almost a foot into the ground. Reaching out with the once fake arm he stopped the stinger in its path, smirking the immortal kicked the Grimm in the face sending it back several feet. Turning around Ed looked down at the wounded female reaching out his hand he pick the women up. Taking in the young girl for the first time Ed was surprised by two thing the first was the strange colored hair he was sure that black hair that was tipped crimson read should not natural nor should her maroon eyes, but hay he had gold eyes so he can't say much on the subject of strange eye color.
"Thank you for saving me Mr..."
"Edward Elric just call me Ed." Gesturing to her duel blades Ed continued "Do you mind if I borrow those?" the girls quick nod conformed that it was ok. Grinning like a mad man Ed picked up the crude blades, after a quick second of examination Ed clapped and using his alchemy transformed the blades into perfect killing weapons. The 'magic' that had just accord in front of left the women speechless with only one thought coursing through her mind, but she was unable to verbalizer her thoughts even once she regained her senses as the battle that had begun between the Grimm and man was to spectacular. Ed rolled forward easily dogging the pincers tail combo that the Grimm sent its way now under the best's head Ed simply cut of both front pairs of legs in a single florid motion only leaving the back two. As expected the Grim toppled forward unable to move. Walking around to the bests back Ed X cut the tail off. The beast was nearly dead but the golden eyed man was not done lifting the golden stinger he walked to the front of the beast and while dogging the frantic pincher slammed the stingers tip into the scorpion's skull killing it. With a massive grin on his face Ed walked back over to the fallen girl.
"You know I never did get your name" she blinked a couple of times before answering him.
"I'm Garnet" It did not surprise Ed that the former Truth gave Humanity the ability to speak perfect English. Suddenly the voice of Oum returned.
{Place your hands on her head and chest and say ' For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee. It will unlock her Aura and allow her to fight better as well as use her Semblances.} Ed did as he was told and placed his hands on the young women's skull and chest.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee." As he finished a silver glow enveloped her body.
"What did you just do ED" her voice carried no fear for the power that was just unlocked felt pure and holy within her body she loved it.
"I unlocked you Aura it's a protective shield it will also enhance your ability while giving you a Semblances which is a power unique to you." Her eyes widened with glee
"Thank you thank you ED" suddenly the thought from earlier appeared in her mind "Ed what was that power you used before and why do you know thing that no one else does"
"It's simple I'm the last Alchemist and I kind of helped to create this world along with Monty Oum"
"You Helped the creator" the women's voices was unstable due to the over flowing emotions.
"Well it's more complicated than that but ya I did"
"How?"
"Well Remnant is from a begun age right" The knob conformed the girl know of what he was talking about "I'm from that former world. Since imp immortal I contacted him and together we rebuilt the world" after several seconds of pear shock Ed decided to move the topic of his status with the whole 'creation thing'.
"So no family name?"
"Family name?"
"It shows what family you're from how about" the immortal thought for a second before remembering one of the woman that was so important to him. Who was one of the only people to truly get him in his passed life it seemed oddly appropriate to name his first contact in the real world "Rose"
"Garnet Rose I like it thank you Ed"
"Garnet do me one favor please keep my true nature a secret"
"Ed you do not need to ask me I shale keep this secret." She would keep his secret but she know that he would need friends in his long life something she was determined to provide for the man who saved her life a debt. Using her new found resolve Garnet bowed to the golden eyed man.
"Ed I owe you a life debt which can never be repaid. So allow me to make it my family and ancestor's right to be your allies for your eternal life, your secret will be passed down from generation to generation." Ed blinked several times to clear the confusion at what women was truly offering. After a mere moment of thought the ex-military man determined that an allied family would be a good thing.
"Thank you Ed. Well need a way of showing my family's loyalty like a mark or just as a way to recognize us as your allies." Looking down at the still kneeling warrior Ed offered a hand. Taking his hand Garnet was helped up by her family's new eternal allies. As the huntress stood to her full height and looked into the intelligent golden eyes of the man she held a life debt to a sudden burning covered her left shoulder blade due to this she let out a pained hiss and closed her eyes to cope with the pain. To say he was shocked would be an understatement not only did his new allied feel pain at his touch but right before she closed her eyes he saw a very complex alchemy array appear in her now silver eyes, at the realization that her eyes changed color Ed's brain screamed in shock. After a moment the pain seemed to stop as the young women reopened her watery eyes.
"Garnet are you ok?"
"I don't know Ed…my left shoulder really Burns!"
"Here let me take a look" without a thought she complied turning on her heals so Ed to assess her back. Naturally she stiffened when she felt her cloths move allowing thy immortal man accesses to her injured shoulder.
"DAME….Well I know what the burning was and you do not need to fear. Also it seems we no longer need a mark as the Flamel cross has imprinted its self on your back. On top of that your eyes are silver now…." Before ED could even continue with his sentence his patient spun around in a bluer of rose peddles and looked at him with both frightening and incredibly cute face.
"HOW IS THAT CROSS ON MY BACK, WHY ARE MY EYES SILVER NOW, AND WERE IN OUMS NAME DID THESE ROSE PEDDLES COME FROM!" her voice was truly defining in fact it left the immortal with a load hum in his ears.
"First of ow I really don't want tinnitus. And to answer your question if I had to guess and I'm probably right I would say it's because Oum is an ASS HOLE." The laughing in his head simply confirmed his statement. "Hell he just told me it was him…" a brief moment of silence passed as Ed contemplated telling her about the symbols that appeared in her eyes but he wisely decided that she had enough excitement for one day.
"Garnet I'm going to travel this world I will return to you and your line"
"I did not expect you to stay Ed just remember your always welcome on the island of Patch"
And with that Ed turned and walked away. Vanishing into the forest intent on traveling his newly created world. Ed traveled the world alone for hundreds of years slaughtering the grim as he went. Somehow no matter how hard he tried the ageless man found himself making friends as he went luckily he never was forced to reviled his true ability's and status. As time passed he watched humanity grow and spread, he watched the discovery of Dust witch to his amazement was his left over alchemaic energy from when he reshaped the earth, and he was not surprised to see that it had taken on so many forms and types. As the years passed he would visit the Rose family from time to time It had turned out that both the Flamel cross and the silvers eyes had become a part of the family moving down from generation to generation, oddly throw the mark only appeared when a Rose chilled reached the age of fourteen and shook Ed's hand after learning the truth about the world they lived in. After questioning Oum about this the god reveled that this was to show when the chilled was to learn the truth about the family's connection to Ed. But with all living things Garnets death was inevitable. with the death of Garnet, his first friend in his new world, Ed became a true shut in. until years passed when for sisters together got him out of his well-built house and taught him to love the world again. Due to their kindness and with the help and blessing of Oum he gave each a new power that would aid them in protecting the world serving it as they did him. With the creations of the maiden a new stage in the immortals life began one where he took a much more active role in the world that he helped to create. From this time in his life Ed's favorite accomplishment was the creation of the combat schools and academy's. For century's his life was good he help were he could and still had the Rose family to relay on when he needed help or simply someone to talk to. Ed watched hundreds of Roses come and go none ever falling him. Sadly the family line withered thanks to a stupid war between the faunas and Humans. Ed and the Roses fought with the Faunas felling that there mission to be true. Years passed and Ed watch as a new Rose was born, Summer Rose. She soon became Ed's favorite of the family in a very long time due her just being her. Ed watched he as she grow up and entered Beacon academy were in secret he trained her with ought her team knowing. He was present when she married the love of her life Taiyang Xiao Long, who already had a daughter, Yang, from his last marriage witch had broken due to his wife's, Raven, disappearance. Soon Summer was pregnant and nine month latter she gave birth to her own spitting image a bountiful gem of a girl named Ruby. Sadly Summer fell leaving her family behind, With Ruby not yet baring the Flamel Ed could not talk to her but he could watch as she grew up. It was him who had contacted Qrow when Yang had almost gotten them killed while looking for her own mother. After that nothing truly bad happened to the little family that did not stop him from watching the last Rose, but now it was Ruby fourteenth year. Ed confidently strolled up to the door of the nicely sized house and heavily knocked. Soon the door was flung open by Taiyang who looked stunned at the sight of the golden eyed man.
"Can I help you Sir?" Taiyang eyed the men how stood before him. Oddly the man's outfit's color skim was not unlike his youngest daughters besides that only the red cloak was shared by the two.
"Yes you can mister Xiao Long my name is Ed Elric, I wish to speak to your daughter Ruby"
"Why do you want to speak to my youngest daughter?"
"Simple her mother Summer" at the mention of his deceased wife's name Tai's eyes widened "and I were very close when she was growing up due to that she left a message with me to deliver to Ruby on her fourteenth birthday If she died. I always keep my promises! Sadly I'm a little late but I will make good on my word" once the seemingly young man finished his explanation the Hunter looked him over for any sigh of defeat, finding none the father of Ruby and Yang sighed.
"You can speak with Ruby, but unfortunately she and her older sister will not be back home from Signal for another hour. You are welcomed to come inside and wait till they arrive. By the way what is in the bag?"
"I would love to come in and wait. The bag contains a plentiful amount of chocolate chip cookies as well as Ruby birth day present"
"Ha! Ruby's going to love you just for the cookies. Now would you like anything to eat or drink?"
"If you have coffee would be nice" the manes cheerful voice suddenly dropped and was replaced by one of complete hatred and loathing "NO MILK I HATE THE STUFF" getting the message the mortal blond indicated the coach in front of the TV and disappeared into the kitchen. Sitting down at the coach Ed looked at the sixty-four inch paused TV screen only to realize that the man was playing one of the worst games ever Pray. After a moment of silences Tai returned with two fresh cups of coffee and a bowel of sugar cubes.
"Here you go Ed…What's Wrong?"
"How…How can you play Pray?!"
"Ya I know it's bad but I find its stupid fun and the girls never let me play it when they are home so I play whenever there at school. We can put something else on if you like the headache was starting to get to me" only nodding as an answer Tai quickly turned off the console and removed the game finally switching the TV of the gaming input on to the TV one. The man completed all of this just in time for the two of them to hear the opining lyrics to Dragon Ball Z! Both men grinned in enjoyment as they settled in to watch the Z fighters. Soon a commercial began forcing the two men to image in awkward small talk. This is how it continued till the second episode where Goku had just ascended to SSJ after Krillin's death. At this point both men had become more comfortable around each other and it seems that Tai felt at ease to the point where he could ask the one question plunging his mind.
"So Ed how close were you to Summer?"
"She was one of my best friends and one of the only people that I could really talk to"
"She never mentioned you why?"
"That was an agreement between me and her…" with a wave of his once prosthetic and he continued "don't worry it was nothing bad" in his mind the immortal added 'and your youngest will be doing the same thing'. Before the two men could talk any further the door to the house flew open with two young voices crying out as they entered.
"WERE HOME" Tai vaulted up and ran two his two girls embracing them in a bone crushing hug, Ed simply sipped his drink. Once the family hug broke up the girl with the massive main of blond her finally noticed Ed.
"Dad who's that?"
"Yang, Ruby let me intrudes you to Ed Elric" standing Ed shook the confused girls hand pausing for a split second with Ruby "He's here to talk to you Rubs something to do with Summer" at the mention of their mothers/stepmothers, name lilac and silver eyes widened and stared at the man.
"That can wait first Ruby I have a present for you along with some chocolate chip cookies" at the mention of a present and her favorite sweet the young girl speed over to Ed just to realize that he had moved. Slightly as to doge her.
"HaHu Speed just like your mother. Well young one as promised hear is your Cookies and your present" with unmatched speed Ruby quickly scarfed down half a dozen cookies at which point a sudden realization hit her. With wide unblinking eyes she turned to her new friend.
"Th…es…e taste…like my mom's" at this point both Xiao Long's eyes mirrored the youngest. Stuttering the girl's father managed to choke out.
"But Sum-er Ne-ver gave anyone that recipe." Ed gave the family a gleaming smirk Ed leaned in close to the family and reviled a secret.
"True but who do you think taught her to make the cookies?" the realization that the recipe was not there mothers hit the family like a ton of bricks "Now Ruby why don't you open your present?" the suggestion effectively breaking the family out of there trance. Reaching for the present raped in a beautiful rose covered paper. Skilfully ripping it of the young girl reviled a set of strange metallic bullets the tree family members gave the man a questioning look.
"What you have their Ruby are five solid reusable Tungsten bullets" the fact that the present contained such bullets shocked and bewildered the family of three to no end. Once they got over the original shock each on the family's members had a different reaction Ruby's was to rush and hugged her mother's old friend while rapidly thanking him for his unique present. Yang for her part was dumfounded by the bullets metal type and unique ability to be re-usability. The girl's father immediately started to try and make Ed tack the present back with a shake of his head.
"Ed we can't accept this. Tungsten is just too expensive." At haring this Ruby immediately stared at her father with wide pleading eyes. Ed simply chuckled confusing the small family.
"Tai I've missed many years of birthdays for both these girls, which reminds me Yang I ordered you a present but it wasn't ready yet so I'll give it to you latter" the mention of her impending present forced Yang to raise single eye brow in confusion "now Ruby's did cost me a pretty penny for the metal but like I said I missed a lot of her birthdays and I have a wealthy amount of money…" before he could continue the weapon obsessed girl interrupted the man.
"So you made these bullets" Ed silence confirmed the girls question" But there perfect and for that matter how are they reusable"
"For your first question ill answer with an ancient line… a master never reveals their secretes. And for the bullets re-usability factor it's because they don't actually use dust as the proportion system no they relays on YOUR semblance" now that they knew the facts about the strange bullets the trio was flabbergasted. Ruby being her weapon crazed self instantly started to beg to be allowed to test the bullets. Sadly for her Ed had something to do first.
"We can do that latter Little Red. First I have to give you your mother's message and I know exactly where to do that. Tai is it ok if I take Ruby out for a bit the message IS for her ONLY." By the tone of his voice Tai know that there was no arguing with the man and gave the man his blessing for her to do as he pleased. Gesturing to Ruby the blond quickly left the family's loving home, but not before downing his signature cloak, the hyper girl lovingly hugged her family members and placed her beloved Crescent Rose. As the two walked Ruby quickly realized that they were headed to the cliff were her mother was buried. After several minutes of walking they arrived at the sight of her mother's grave, Ruby turned and gave Ed a questioning look with a slight smile Ed bent down and began to talk to the grave much like the women's daughter who stood a mere three feet away.
"Hay Summer it's your favorite immortal" the final word caused the young girls mind to spin in an attempt to comprehend what she had just herd.
"I'm with your daughter Ruby she just turned fourteen witch as you know means it's time for her two know her family's truth. Since you nor any of my Roses are left it means that it falls on me. Ruby I guess you have a lot of questions?"
"By Oum's name of course I have a Dust ton of questions. What do you mean your immortal, and what do you mean by Your Rose's"
"First of please don't mention Monty Oum the guys an ass. Ruby you know the legend of the Crimson alchemist yes?"
"Of course it was mom's favorite story. Why?"
"Ruby I'm the Crimson Alchemist and as a member of the Rose family you get to know the truth of my life. Now you know how the Remnant was formed from a bygone age" the girls face told him that all he needed to know "Well I'm from that bygone age and it was the fact that I failed in battle that caused to its destruction." That factoid instantaneously triggered the young girl's eyes to widen into dinner plates. "After a hundred years of remodeling the world's continents alone I used my alchemy to open the Gate so I could talk to Truth, you know him as Monty Oum" this nocked all of the air out of the young girls lounges this did not bother the Alchemist for he knew that Ruby was just fine "From there he allowed me to recreate humanity, but sadly a major sacrifice was needed to make the deal equivalent… the Grimm" this latest realization sent Ruby's head spinning in circles in an attempt to comprehend the TRUE history she had just learned. "That's when are deal making ended and I repaired in the world on this exact hill, although closer to the valley, that's where I saw humanity once again. As I watched the village get attack by Grimm, that's when four Hunters and Huntresses engaged them with crude blades, luckily they won" Ruby gave a not so silent cheer at the mention of a pack Grimm death. "The victory was short lived because a Deathstalker emerged from the woods. Three of the four ran in fear" this tidbit made the young girl very angry at the ancient warriors "the fourth stayed and fought. She was going to lose so I intervened and killed the beast. As soon as I could I asked her name witch she reveled was Garnet at that point Oum instructed me to relish her soul creating the first aura and semblance user, she like all of your ancestors had a speed semblance. This forced me to revile the truth about myself finding it slightly uncomfortable I wanted to switch the topic of something so religious. Therefore I asked why she did not have a family name, apparently family names did not exist yet so I gave her the last name of Rose creating the Rose line. Due to the fact that I saved her life this created an unrepayable life debt. To compensate for this she pledged her family's undying loyalty to me. As we sealed the pack with a hand shake a sharing pain overcame her left shoulder and her eyes became silver, as soon as the pain stopped I checked her back reviling a black Flamel cross the symbol of my Alchemy. After that I travelled the world and soon discovered that Dust in fact just a hardened form of my alchemaic energy. And that ruby is the short form of my story of course many things have happened since that." At this point Ed crouched low in front of the girl coming to her eye level "Ruby do you want to take up the mantel left for you by thousands of Roses before you, by doing this you will have a very powerful allied and I'll have a friend that I can truly talk to." Moments passed in silence as Ruby thought over everything she had just learned suddenly she spoke.
"Yes I will take up the mantel." Nodding Ed extended his arm without hesitation Ruby reach to take it before she could Ed got one last sentence in.
"This will burn a little but you'll be fine" finally the two shook hands and with a slight burn the cross of Flamel imprinted itself on Ruby's left shoulder blade. Relishing Ruby's hand Ed clapped his and placed them on the ground. Blue lightning arced across the hill forcing the land to reshape itself and push hundreds of grave stones to the surface. Chuckling at the girls dumbfounded face the Alchemist simply stated.
"You didn't think you mother was the only one buried hear did you. No this is the burial place of all Roses. Ruby we have to go but before we do you have any questions for me?" after a moment of thought the young girl decided witch of her hundreds of questions she wanted to ask.
"Only two for now."
"Ok shoot"
"What else have you done for the world and how are you immortal? Answer that second one first please."
"Well the immortality comes from the fact that within me is an item called the Philosophers Stone it heals all injury's that's all you need to know. And for what else I've done if I had to pick three major things they would be the creation of the combat schools, with the help of you family" the fact that the man before her and her family created the combat schools that trained children to be warriors did not surprise Ruby a bit at this point. "Helped to end the grate war on the side of the Faunus once again with your family at my side, actually that's one of the reasons your one of the only ones left" this did however surprise the girl since she never heard about this from her mother "and final I helped to create the four maidens." For the hundredth time that day Ruby was dumfounded but still managed to stutter out.
"Th-e ma-idin-s ar-e r-eal?"
"Yes Ruby they are and I can't tell you who they are but your paths may cross in the near future. And with that Ruby we should head back to your home I'm sure you father wants you back" Clapping his hands for a final time that day Ed returned the ground to its former state only leaving Summers grave behind. As the pair walked down the hill and into the field they stumbled upon a Ursa Major. Ruby quickly readied her weapon and joyfully switch the cartridge with the one filled with ED special bullets. Aiming for the Grimm's face as it charged the two of them she pulled the trigger once firing the powerful round. As she squeezed the trigger the young girl felt a slight pull on her power indicating the bullets larch. The tungsten round impacted the Grimm dead center between its red eyes ripping through the heavy armor killing it instantly. As it dissolved the two of them walked up to the beast turning to Ed Ruby asked a simple question.
"How do I get it back"?
"You semblance is still connected to the round just pull it to you" closing her eyes Ruby found the bullet through the conation it had to her soul. Reaching out her hand she pulled it back as easily as she breathed. After it was back in her hand the two continued the walk unopposed. Once they reached the small home that the girl lived in Ed waved a dew and disappeared down the street. As Ruby entered her house she was instantly hit with hundreds of questions from her father and sister all about what happened. Smelling the she simply relied.
"Sorry can't tell you"
"Come on sis tell us"
"NoPe" and with that Ruby grabbed her left over cookies and headed to her room.
