Yes I know I probably shouldn't do this while I have four stories but I can't help myself. Well let's go to the story.
In a ocean breeze close to a hill, there was a boy standing in front of a grave as puts a flower next to the grave. The young man seems to be on his teens, having yellow eyes and a dark purple hair. He wore casual clothes only wearing black pants and combat boots and green sleeve shirt.
"Mom… I guess I'm alone now…" He said sadly "I'm...so sorry." He said trying not to cried. "If..I were...stronger." He said. "I would have been able to save you and the village…" He said.
He looks at sky "If it wasn't for that rogue mage everyone would have been alive." He said with anger on his voice "I... I promise you that I'm not letting anyone go through such pain and I'll become a success so you don't have to worry about me." He turns to the ocean "I know just pretending to be an adventurer won't get me anywhere and I know I can't be a magic knight without magic." He said, he then turn his head back at the grave "That's why… I'm going to start my own guild." He said.
"Then I'll take up a lot of requests and become famous across all kingdoms!" He said with determination on his eyes "That way, mom, you can stop worrying about me from heaven…" He said quietly "Mom, I have to get going now. First I'm going to look for a dungeon. I'd go to Kikka to be able to make a guild, I need money to survive if I want to start my guild, you know?" He laughed slightly.
"Supposedly a nearby dungeon I'm going to has materials that can be sold for a lot of money, so I'm gonna try to find one of those." He said. "The monsters in that dungeon aren't too strong from what I hear, so they should be perfect to test my strength as well." He said "When I become an official guild master, I'll come to see you." He said. "I promise I won't go do something crazy so don't worry...okay?" He said as walks away but stops midway. "Anyway, it's time for me to go." He said, deciding to leave the place.
After visiting his mother's grave he made his travel for an hour later he made it, to a town.
"Did you hear Lord Cornello's announcement today?" A villager asked another villager.
"This village, what's with the festivities?" The young man asked around for information when he was answered by a villager.
"Hey excuse me but what's this village celebrating?" The young man asked.
"You must a traveller then. We're celebrating the village hero Cornello, he saved us from several monsters that attacked our town every few months. He is a very powerful mage, when the monsters arrived he actually prevented any damage made to the town." The young man eye narrow at the information knew that something fishy was going on.
"Do you know where I can find this Cornello then?" He was answered after a few minutes.
"He doesn't take visitors personally but he has a disciple that's at the Cathedral just a few blocks from here that can take you to him." The young man thanked the person and left.
"Hm. Hm. Hm. Hm." A beautiful girl around the boy's age hummed while cleaning the inside of the Cathedral the young man was heading towards. She had raven hair with pink bangs on the front, creamy skin and a lovely sundress.
The boy entered the Cathedral to see the girl look at him. He took off his hood to reveal his face, making the girl blush. "Hello there, may I ask why you're here?" She possessed this delicate voice that would make any man say the word 'cute' with hearts in their eyes, though the boy was not just any man.
"Hi there, my name is Kaito. I came here to see this Lord Cornello. I heard you're his disciple?" The girl beamed in happiness and began to speak.
"Oh, so you want to become one of his disciples too? He can create miracles with his magic. I'm sure if you ask him he can make you a stronger person!" The girl was being sincere but Kaito frowned but decided to keep a natural look.
"Oh sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Rose Thomas. I became Lord Cornello's disciple after he arrived and saved us from those monsters. He can create miracles, even bring back the dead!" Kaito's face hardened at this exclamation and he looked at her with menacing eyes which scared the girl.
"People don't come back from the dead, not now, not ever!" Kaito saw that he scared Rose with his outburst. "Sorry about that, but please believe me when I say that truly bringing back the dead is impossible."
"I understand, until you see Lord Cornello's miracles you are still a non-believer. Follow me please." The duo followed the girl out of the building and through the busy streets of the town. "So are you a traveler from out of town?"
"Yes I am just started my journey a while back." Kaito said spoke in laid back tone.
"Well I cannot wait for you to meet Lord Cornello, you won't regret it." Suddenly a villager came running across shouting out loud.
"EVERYONE, THE MONSTERS ARE BACK!" Everyone in town began panicking and ran away when from the location that the monster was arriving from. Kaito went towards the edge of town to see a rock-like monster appear out of nowhere.
'Strange? I don't feel the presence of a monster, is this just an illusion?' Kaito thought as he saw the monster come closer toward the town. "So this 'hero' Cornello is deceiving these people."
He clenched his chest. Before the 'monster' attempted a strike, a figure appeared sending a lightning blast to vanquish the 'monster'.
"It's Lord Cornello!"
"AWESOME!" The crowd cheered. Cornello was around seven feet, he is older man he appeared to be bald and has black eyes. He also wore a father clothes.
"Lord Cornello!" Cornello turned to see his disciple Rose with a smile on her face. "Lord Cornello, a traveler has arrived and wish to become your disciple." Kaito and Cornello made contact with each other.
"Welcome to my town, follow me to my office." Cornello didn't like the boy for some reason. 'I feel something strange about this one, better that I stick close to him for now.'
'These people aren't even bothered that he called it 'his' town instead of 'our'. This guy's going down!' Kaito thought as he followed Cornello alongside Rose. "So when did you arrive here exactly Cornello?"
"Not that's any of your concern but I arrived here a year ago. We're here, so… watch your step!" A trap door opened as the three dropped down to a hidden dungeon of some sorts. Kaito landed on his feet holding Rose bridal style, and Cornello landed on his feet easily.
"Sorry for this but I can't take any chances with you. Rose!" Rose stood up straight and obeyed Cornello who threw her a magical crossbow, "Kill him with that crossbow." Rose stood shocked and wondered why Cornello would order that.
"W-why. He didn't do anything wrong!?" Cornello glared at Rose, making her flinch.
"You think I don't know who you are? He's magic knight and is trying to stop my miracles, Rose shoot him." Rose pointed the gun at Kaito.
Kaito then sigh with his hand with his three finger showing them. "First of all I'm not a magic knight, second I don't have magic, and third I have something even better." Kaito said, he clench his chest "BUSO RENKIN!" He yelled as bright light appear blinding everyone, then a hexagon with a roman number LXX shape got out of his heart it then morphed to a spear-lance with a large decorative cloth attached. "Sunlight Heart!" He yelled.
"W-what kind of magic is this?!" Cornello's eyes widened significantly.
"Is not magic, it's alchemy!" Kaito said as his lance was burning bright "Sunlight Slasher!" Kaito yelled clashing into sending himself against Cornello who couldn't dodge in time, and was sent flying to the wall. Rose startled by the sudden attack, accidently pulled the trigger, shooting Kaito but he grab the arrow before it could hit him.
"What are you?" Cornello got up and brought a sharp blade and attack Kaito but he easily grab his arm and swings him to his side.
'How is he so strong?' Cornello was brought out of his thoughts when Kaito stated something shocking.
"Guess your don't have a miracle to help you." Kaito said.
"It makes sense now, I heard Alchemy was the opposite of magic. But since you know so much I'll eliminate you!" Cornello called for reinforcements and even ordered them to attack Rose. Kaito made his escape.
"Get him!" Several of Cornello's men attempted to attack them but Kaito easily knocked them out with one swing from with his lance. Kaito turn to them "Sunlight Flasher!" He yelled blinding everyone, he quickly pick up rose and began to run.
As they were out there sight Kaito turn to Rose "Hey where does this guy make his announcements?" Kaito asked.
Rose was hesitant but she answer. "He normally announces in his tower." She said
"Good." Kaito said, as he was out of sight. "Rose I need you to go outside and stay close to the tower, everything will be revealed." Kaito said, before leaving the room.
"That boy could ruin my plans!" Cornello entered his room to see Kaito sitting on top of his desk. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Alright bastard, I want answers as to why you're exploiting these villagers? And don't lie to me, no one is here so you can stop with the charade." Cornello closed the door and grinned maniacally.
"Alright I'll tell you the reason." Cornellos' eyes narrowed. "I used to belong to a Magic Knight squad, however the payment I kept was too low for my tastes. I killed my fellow knights and took his sacred spells with me."
"You killed your teammates? How could you do that to your own fellow knights? Tell me Cornello!" Kaito eyes narrowed at the man who chuckled.
"It was easy kid, but this is digressing from your question. Being a hero in this village gave me status and more importantly all the money I can get, it's just pure greed. Well at first it was but I came to an epiphany, could you imagine my own mindless followers to mold as I please? My own little foot soldiers! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Cornello did a typical evil laugh but it was interrupted by Kaito's own.
"Why are you laughing?" Cornello demanded as Kaito pointed at a Communication Magic Tool below the man's feet, which meant the villagers heard every single word of his little rant. Several villagers can been seen with shocked expression with some even angry at Cornello's exclamation.
"W-what?" Rose questioned as a Communication Magic Tool that Cornello has was turned on and everyone saw him saying his words. "H-he lied."
"You bastard! I'm going to enjoy tearing your body to shreds Alchemist!" Cornello's got his grimoire out. And his body got bigger and muscular, he throw a punch which Kairo had jump out of the way, as the room blew up as they took their fight to the outside. Many civilians ran away from the sight.
"I'm going to kill you!" He roared.
"Yesh your breath smells." Kaito said, Cornello charged Kaito with a fist, through Kaito dodged at the last second while witnessing Cornello's fist hit the ground, causing powerful cracks and a slight tremor. Kaito grab his Sunlight Heart blade which made Cornello use his arms in defend but was still cut.
'Damn brat making me use my grimoire, let's see how he likes my strongest attack.' Cornello throw a boulder blocking Kaito's path of escape and then throw a successful punch.
"And you called yourself a former Magic Knight?" Kaito said blocking the punch with Sunlight Heart "Sunlight Flasher!" He yelled blinding the former Magic Knight, he then pointed his lance at him "Sunlight Crasher!" He yelled once more charging at monster stabbing him on his stomach.
Cornello landed on the ground unconscious as Kaito landed on the ground.
"Kaito!" Rose said as she arrive.
"Oh hey Rose, I just got rid of this impostor." Kaito turned to see Cornello's body not there anymore. "He's gone!"
Sometime later we see Kaito preparing to leave were confronted by Rose who possessed a helpless expression on her face.
"Why did you have to come here? We were content with everything until you came here, we're a desert village! We have nothing!" Kaito closed his eyes before opened them, a fire could be seen in them.
"So would you rather be one of Cornello's pawns than your own person?!" Kaito shouted at her, making her flinch. "Why did you even want to join him anyway?" He calmed down and asked her for an answer.
"He promised to bring back the one I loved most in my life but now that I know he can't be brought back. At least when I was ignorant I had hope that my Kane would brought back!" Kaito glared at her before he once again began to shout.
"That's bullshit! You were using that excuse as a crutch and you know it too! You've got two legs, use them and move forward!" Kaito calmed down. "The village did well before Cornello's arrival, you need to learn how to move past your Kane's death otherwise it will dictate the rest of your life."
"If you're still lost then remember what your Kane would want." Kaito said. "You think he wants to see you like this?" Kaito said.
"N-no." She said.
"Good then let him rest in peace." Kaito said. "Just remember that you still have this village love, never forget what you still have." He said.
"That brat. I will have my revenge." Cornello said out loud in an abandoned building but a voice interrupted him.
"No you won't." Cornello was silenced forever.
"Thanks for the food and money!" Kaito said bring a bag with him. Rose and the villagers waved goodbye from to him.
"Thank you for everything!" Rose said. She looked to see Kaito's back. 'Thank you for everything Kaito.'
Okay so there a reason this in the X-Over section, you guys will see as the story progress and yes I know this a different version of Fullmetal Alchemist beginning plot, but I couldn't think a better way to stared this and also I know, I have bad grammar well this was dark flacon saying peace out ✌.
