CHAPTER 2

L awoke with a jolt. He was in a bed he didn't recognize. The ceiling was wooden. L had been laid down on top of the blankets. He sat up. His back hurt a little. He let out a small groan. A young woman came in the room. L estimated she was about 28.

L thought about the possibilities. "The most probable circumstance is that you picked me up, inside a car… no, to dangerous. You picked me up outside and/or inside warehouse 13. Correct?"

"Umm, what warehouse, I found you on the ground on the side of the road, you were unconscious." The women said. "And my name is Nikoname."

A four hundred and thirty seven thoughts rushed into, and then out of L's head. "Well, Nikoname, You may call me Ryuga. could you tell me where I am?"

"Okay then Ryuga." Nikoname said. "you are in a small village about two miles from central."

Central? L thought. Thank you Nikoname-san for all your hospitality. I must be leaving.

After a small good-bye. L left Nikoname and headed for Central. From it's name, L concluded that this city would hold the answers to the questions he had. Where exactly was he? How could he get back? Who was Agrogoth?"

L finally made it into the city. The place he thought would have the answers he wanted was going to be the Central Library. Once L arrived at the library, he beheld a magnificent structure. Marble Statues, green banners, Stone steps. as L climbed the stairs. He saw something gleaming on the ground. He squatted down, and picked it up. It was a gleaming peace of metal. it had a strip of leather attached to it. The peace of leather was totally black and the metal looked like the kind that is used in old suits of armor. Where could I possibly be from. L stood up, holding the scrap between he thumb and forefinger.

A young voice shouted out. , "HEY YOU! I NEED THAT!"

L looked up to see a small blond kid running towards him. The kid had a long red Duster on, over a black coat and black pants. he had white gloves and Leather boots. His long blond hair was pulled back into a pony tail, but his bangs hung by the sides of his face.

The boy seemed to need it bad. "what is it?" L looked at him.

"Something I need the." boy returned. As he run up to L, L realized that the kid was very short. The little kid swung his right arm at the scrap of metal. L heard something make a clicking sound inside his arm. L was surprised by that. There's more to this kid then meets the eye. L realized. To find his full potential, I must provoke him.

"Nope, sorry, I can't." L said. "I found it, it's mine. it's only common logic. what do you want with this scrap of metal anyway?"

"Come on." the kid said, and grabbed at the metal again.

"Sorry," L said and kicked the kid hard in the stomach with his shin. The kid flew through the air into a wall. there was a cloud of dust as the kid re amerged.

"What are tryin' to pull!" He shouted. as he shouted, he clapped his hands together and blue lightning danced around his hands. he put his left hand on his right arm, and the blue lightning seemed to be absorbed by his arm. Suddenly, his glove ripped apart as part of his arm formed a blade above his hand. His arm was mechanical.

"Who are you?" L said in astonishment, but it also explained a lot.

"What do you mean who am I?" The kid asked. I'm Edward Elric, the FullMetal Alchemist!"
