Central city 3:30 am
Damn. Mustang always gave him these jobs whenever he was in central. It was always the same kind of nutso trying to kill citizens, and more importantly, him himself.
Edward rounded the corner and saw the man climbing up the high-energy alchemy building. Shit.
He began to climb the building after the man. This building had always given him the creeps. And now, as he continued to climb, he could feel the alchemic energy flowing into him. It was a lot like when he had been around all that purified red water. He had to keep himself from clapping his hands.
The man, Agar cruses Ed recalled was his name, was throwing stones down at him. Ed dodged and sped up the ladder he was climbing, delivering a sweep kick as he jumped up to the roof, and knocking the man down. Cruxses got up as Ed regained his balance and then drew a knife from within his cloak and lashed out at Ed. He ducked it and went under his arm, and pinned him to the roof.
"Got you now." Said Ed, grinning at his achievement. And then something happened that confused Ed. The man began to laugh. And laughed, and laughed.
"Hic Edward ahaha Elric?"
"…"
" I aha hoo have hic more than one knife aha" Ed's eyes widened, and before he could react he felt the knife go into his normal leg. He jumped back and was tackled be Cruxses. The wrestled and slowly slid down the roof until they reached its edge. And then Ed felt himself falling. He detached himself from Cruxses as he fell.
SHIT
And Ed clapped his hands.
Ed landed with a soft thud on grass.
Grass? There's no grass anywhere around here. Only concrete. S'pose I shouldn't be complaining though, huh?
There was a bunch of people—children screaming and running away. Probably he'd startled them. All of them were fleeing except three. The first had red hair and freckles, the next was a girl who had brown bushy hair, and the last boy had black hair and startling green eyes.
Oh SHIT.
