When she looked into his eyes... she really thought she was done for...
The day had seemed normal. Black Star and Maka had their odd fights while the rest of the group starred and sighed. None of them were prepared for what was to come only hours from then.
The group sat in class looking in disgust as Stein cut up, yet another rare bird. The dissections were becoming more gruesome and less learning worthy. They had seemed more for Stein's own pleasure then anything else, or that's aleast how Maka saw it. Since the kishins decimate, the academy had returned to it's old ways. Classes were resumed, buildings were fixed, and the City itself was returned to it's spot. Everything seemed normal except for the sight Stein was creating in front of them.
Soul sighed and shifted a little bit in his seat. The class had seemed to be dragging on more then usual, though by looking at the clock, it was obvious that is wasn't.
"Oi, Maka, you notice that shaking?" Soul whispered to Maka who sat beside him.
"S-shaking?" Maka paused herself to listen. There was the sound of a faint shaking, the window's were rattling, and stuff on students desks were moving.
Kid and Liz who were sitting beside Soul had heard them talking and began to notice the shaking.
"Oh no! No! No! No! I don't like this!" Liz began screaming as she clinged to her sister who began laughing.
"Stein! Do you notice the shaking?" Kid question Stein who had momentarily stopped dissecting. The shaking had grown more violent in only a few seconds, and continued to increase.
"Yes. You guys with me." Stein said pointing to the group of friends.
The eight of them moved their way through class, through the halls, and to the front of the school with Stein. Outside the front of the academy stood Spirit, Lord Death, and Sid.
"Ah Stein, good you brought the children... Look up." Spirit said pointing upward.
In the sky was a large black hole. There were all sorts of lines and patterns outlined in blue all through the hole. The hole hovered just a bit in front of the group of miesters and weapons. All over the city people were looking out to see what was causing the shaking. The shaking suddenly became even more violent, causing Maka to lose her balance, she fell hitting the pavement hard, along with Soul, Kid, and Tsubaki. Black Star remained standing the best he could, yelling over and over that stars never fall, while Chrona screamed over and over that it didn't know how to deal with the constant shaking as Ragnarok yelled at it to shut up and fall already. Liz was clinging to her sister who only stood laughing as the shaking shook her along with her body trying to keep it's balance. Spirit was in his scythe form in Steins hands who was having issues keeping his balance, while Sid just stood there gawking at the hold in the sky. Lord Death remained his balance as if the world was not moving at all.
Almost instantly, the shaking stopped completely, but before it disappeared, four figures fell from it before it closed.
Everyone starred in awe as the figures began to move to reveal that they were human... and were bickering...
"Dammit! This is all your fault!" A short kid with blonde hair began yelling at a taller man with black hair, the older male didn't look pleased.
"Remember who your talking to Fullmetal... this isn't my fault..."
"Oh shut up both of you, I wanna know where the hell we are first!" A girl with blonde hair screamed as she stood between the two men attempting to break them up.
"Ah... B-brother... l-look..." A large suite of armour containing a younger sounding voice said as it pointed to the group oh people who were still in awe.
"Ah shit..."
"Well Hello there! Are you friendly?" Death asked the small group of outsiders.
"Depends... are you friendly?" The shortest of the group asked as he grabbed the upper part of his right arm.
"Oh yes, as long as you aren't witches.."
"Witches?" The girl had said, more outloud then to anyone.
"Yes. But... you do not look like witches, so what are your names?"
"Y-you don't know us?" The oldest male had asked.
"No, we do not."
"I'm Roy Mustang. This is Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, and Winry Rockbell."
"E-edward... hmmm." Maka smiled dreamily at Edward, Soul noticed,
"Uncool."
"So... What brings you to Death City?" Lord Death questioned.
"We got here on accident... and I think leaving wont be easy for us... because by the looks of things, you don't use alchemy..." Roy said with a sigh.
"Alchemy... No I'm afraid we don't..."
"Great, now we're stuck here." Edward said with a pout as he crossed his arms.
"Brother... don't be so down, we are not even sure that alchemy can't be used..."
"True.." Edward stood up and clapped his hands together. A red spark emerged from between his hands and he smirked. "So, alchemy can be used here... odd."
"Yes, very." Roy said, looking astounded.
"Wait, so you guys can use your alchemy in this strange land?" Winry questioned the three boys.
"Appears so." Roy said.
"Then why can't we get out of here?"
"The teleportation takes up a lot of alchemy, so it will take a day or so before we have enough to get home, this place has alchemy... just not a lot, so that makes recharging an even longer process." Edward explained.
"So what your saying... is were stuck here!" She yelled.
"Only for a few days..."
"Excuse me, ah..."
"Lord Death."
"Ah yeah.. is there anywhere we can stay for a few days? Until we can recharge anyway?" Roy asked.
"Of course! Those two can go to Maka and Soul's, and... well those two can go to ... hmm scratch that... you all can stay in the spare rooms I have in the academy." Lord Death said cheerfully.
"Well ah, thanks."
"I can show them around the city." Maka said cheerfully.
"Why would we wanna see the city?" Winry asked, crossing her arms.
"We are here for a few days... why not Winry?" Alphonse asked.
"I'm not going. I'm gonna stay here with Roy and ... Ed?"
"I wanna see the place." Ed smiled as he stood beside Maka who had begun to blush.
"Coming Al?"
"Ah, no brother... I think I'll stay here. I'll see you later."
"Alright."
"Soul are you going to-"
"No. It's uncool. Bye." Soul put his hands in his pockets and walked off.
"G-guess it's just you and I."
"Guess so."
Maka and Edward mostly walked in silence, except for when Maka pointed out certain places and buildings.
"So ah..."
"Oh I'm sorry, I never told you my name.. I'm Maka Alburn, and your Edward Elric.." She smiled.
"Yes it is... So, if you don't mind me asking, what's it like here?"
"What's it like? That's an odd question... but I suppose it kinda isn't since you are completely different from us. Hm.. We weild people as weapons, fight off witches, prevent kishins from turning up, it's not much really, just a daily routine here."
"Wield people? Huh?"
"Well, certain people here have weapon blood, that being said, they can turn into weapons. Remember that boy I asked to come with us but he chose not to?"
"Yeah, I think you called him Soul?"
"Yes. His name is Soul Eater Evans. Hes been my partner for years."
"Like, you mean hes your boyfriend?" A small blush crept across Ed's face.
"Soul? Oh no. Hes my battle partner. Hes my weapon. He can turn into a beautiful black and red scythe, I am his miester."
"I see."
"Yes, so what is your world like?"
"Well, it appears to be a lot more gruesome then yours. But we use alchemy to create and destroy things, except, we use alchemy circles to do it. I don't, neither does my brother Al."
"Why are you two an exception?"
"We've seen things we shouldn't. I'm leaving it at that."
"B-but what could have been so bad?"
Maka watched as Ed tensed up. He looked up to the now orange sky before looking at his feet. Sighing he reached for his long red jacket and pulled it off. He then removed his gloves, and rolled up his one pant leg.
"This is what I paid. I lost my arm and leg for what I did... My brother lost his whole body."
Maka was gawking at Ed's arm and leg with her hands covering her mouth. "W-what are you talking about? You're brother is-"
"Only a soul."
"W-what?"
"He's my younger brother, he's actually a year younger. We... made a big mistake when we were young. The mistake caused Al to loose his whole body, and me my arm and leg, in the end, what we tried to do failed. Because of that Al is now a soul connected to the suite of armour, and I have a missing arm and leg. Because of that, him and I are an exception."
"T-that's horrible! I... I can't imagine what you two must be going through."
"Yeah well, all we have left is each other now, so... we've been trying to find somethin that return us to normal, but unfortunately, it's not an easy thing to find, or get your hands on."
"But what about those two people that came here with you... who are they?"
"The girl is Winry, she has been my childhood friend, same with Al, we have known her all our lives. After our mother died her and her grandmother took Al and I in. And well, Roy, he's basically my boss."
"I see."
"So, those two aren't really my ideal people to be stuck here with..."
"Yes, I guess they wouldn't be. So Winry isn't like your girlfriend?"
"No!"
"No need to yell Ed." Maka laughed slightly.
"Well, I guess I better get back to Al... can you lead me back?"
"But of course."
Throwing his jacket over his shoulder, Maka and Ed headed back toward the academy, telling stories and laughing as they walked. Edward had placed his arm around Maka's shoulder's making her blush again. Ed continued to talk casually as they walked, little did they know... they were being watched...
