Disclaimer: Do really have to tell you people that I own nothing. I mean it's called fan fiction right? If I ever write my own book, or rather finish the one I have attempted to start, then I will be sure to let everyone know that I wrote that shit. Anyway I should probably start writing the actual story huh?
Fullmetal in Fior Chapter 2: The Hell?
Last time on Fullmetal in Fior:
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLIONG AN ANT SO SMALL THAT HE WOULDN'T EVEN BURN UNDER A MAGNIFYING GLASS BECAUSE THE LIGHT PARTICLE ARE TOO BIG TO HIT HIM?"
As Ed finished his rant he became suddenly aware of the crowd of odd looking people who were now staring at him with mixed looks of shock and surprise.
"Uh…," began Ed, "Hi."
As soon as the last syllable was uttered he found himself staring down the tip of a very large and very sharp sword wielded by a very angry looking woman with long scarlet hair. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the woman in an abrasive tone as she edged the sword closer to Ed's throat.
Unfortunately for the woman she had no clue that the teenager she was dealing with was just as if not more abrasive than she was. Forcing the tip of the blade away with his metal hand Ed scowled before replying, "And where exactly is here?"
The young woman was visually growing more irritated by the moment, "How can you not know where here is? You're in the guild hall of the mage guild Fairy Tail in the Kingdom of Fior."
"Fior huh? Never heard of it," said Edward as he took a look around trying to discern the fastest means of escape before these … Edward paused as what she said finally registered in his brain, "Wait, did you say mage guild?"
"Yes, I believe I did," replied the scarlet haired woman.
"Mage guild, as in mages, magic and that sort of thing?"
"That's the general idea, yes," replied the woman her eyes narrowed in suspicion at Edward.
Lucy, who had been by the bar asking Mirajane what was going on, couldn't help but notice Erza growing more annoyed with every response she received from the golden eyed boy.
'Gold eyes,' thought Lucy, 'what an odd color. Maybe he used magic to change them.'
Erza narrowed her eyes at the strange teenager, probably around Natsu's age, as he looked to be concentrating really hard on something. Erza prepared herself to defend against the spell that the teen was sure to cast.
However, what happened next surprised her and every other member of Fairy Tail. The blonde boy had promptly fallen to the ground and was now rolling around clutching his stomach.
"M-magic, that- ha- has got to be th-the most r-ridiculous thing I've ever heard of," he struggled to say as tears started to form in his eyes.
"What, pray tell, do you find so amusing?" questioned Erza.
"I-it just that it's kinda ironic don't ya think?"
"What is?"
The young man suddenly picked himself up, dusting soot from his clothes having rolled near a pile of coal, becoming serious at the drop of a pin.
"The fact that you're all supposedly mages and your guild is called fairytale. Because that's exactly what mages are, nothing more than children stories. Magic," scoffed the blonde stranger, "doesn't exist."
Lucy, Erza and the rest of the mages could only gape at the young intruder.
'What the heck does he mean magic doesn't exist,' thought Lucy, 'has he been living under a rock his whole life?'
"So," the blond teen spoke up, "Are you going to let me go or do I have to force my way out?"
"How are you going to do that?" challenged Erza with a sinister smirk on her pretty yet fierce features.
"Do even know who you're dealing with?" replied the intruder an equally sinister smirked spreading across his face.
Erza's smirk only grew as she replied, "A lost little boy perhaps?"
The young man clenched his fists, a tick mark appearing on his forehead, as he attempted to rein his temper in. He glared at Erza as he spoke, "I am Major Edward Elric of the Amestrian Military, better known as the Fullmetal Alchemist."
'Alchemist,' thought Lucy, 'don't they just –' but her thoughts were interrupted as sweet innocent Wendy said exactly what everyone had been thinking.
"How is potion making going to help you leave?"
Edward almost fell over in surprise, the comment form the young girl taking away the grandeur from his own introduction.
His eyebrow started to twitch as he responded, "I'll show you exactly how 'potion making' is going to help me escape this little freakshow."
As he finished he brought his hands together as if in prayer, an equation already balanced in his head, and touched his hands to the ground. Blue lightning arched as the stone floor and some of the nearby coal started to disintegrate before reforming into his usual spear complete with bat wings. He had intentionally rolled near the coal to add carbon to the spear to strengthen the structure and make the razor sharp blade diamond hard. It may have increased the weight, but in retrospect you could never be too cautious. He had no way of knowing what their weapons were made of so he took the needed precaution, besides, he could handle the extra weight.
He twirled the familiar spear around expertly before falling into his stance.
"What kind of magic is that?" asked a black haired boy, who, Edward noted, had been fully clothed a few seconds ago but was now donning nothing but his boxers.
"As I said before, magic doesn't exist," stated Edward in a matter of fact manner, "alchemy is a science."
Lucy stared at the young man in the red trench coat in wonder.
'He did that using alchemy? There's no way, it has to some form of magic,' thought Lucy, 'but what kind of magic was that?'
Lucy was pulled from her musings as Natsu, who had been lying on the floor forgotten, stirred to life.
"Where is he?" shouted Natsu jumping to his feet, clearly annoyed at having been knocked out by the intruder.
"He's over there,' stated Happy as he pointed to the circle of people gathered around the young stranger.
"Good, time for some payback," said Natsu as he made his way over to the circle.
"Aye,' responded Happy.
Natsu quickly made his way towards the center of the circle, "Good it looks like you're ready to fight," stated Natsu.
"Hold up lizard breath, what makes you think you get first dibs?" asked Gray clearly annoyed at Natsu for claiming the intruder as his opponent.
"He punched me didn't he, you damn Popsicle?" stated Natsu.
"Which means you're clearly no match for him you flame retardant retard," retorted Gray as he glared at Natsu
"And what makes you think you can take the midget snowman?" asked Natsu, glaring back.
"DAMNIT, I'M NOT SHORT!" shouted Edward as a spear landed between the two rivals, ending their argument.
The two mages looked at the self-proclaimed alchemist.
"New plan," said Natsu looking at Gray, "first one to knock out the intruder wins."
But the ice-make mage was already in motion before Natsu had even finished his sentence, a hammer of ice raised ready to strike.
"Hurry up slow poke, if don't hurry you're gonna lose."
"As if," shouted Natsu as flames engulfed his hands and he began his charge as well.
They say that hindsight is 20-20, and Ed was seeing just why. He had thrown his spear at the two squabbling idiots and now he had no weapon as the both boys performed some sort of alchemy. One was using ice just like Isaac McDougal, the freezing alchemist, but if the boy's crude hammer and his reckless charge were any indication of his abilities then he was a far cry from what Isaac had been capable of.
As the boy brought the hammer smashing into the ground Edward leapt away into a backwards handspring to propel himself further away. His honed battle instincts kicked in once again as he was forced to dodge a strike from a set of fiery claws.
'Claws?' thought Edward, 'what the hell?'
As he looked upon his attacker, he noticed it was the pink haired boy that he had knocked out earlier. Somehow the kid had grown large reptilian claws that were now engulfed in flame.
'Great,' thought Ed, 'Not only do I have to fight an ice alchemist, but now a chimera that can use flame alchemy just effing great. Wait… fire… ice…' Ed couldn't help but smile as a plan to escape his current situation formed in his head.
"Hey Shorty, are you gonna stand there all day smiling or are you gonna fight us," shouted the pink haired chimera
"DAMN IT I ALREADY TOLD YOU, I'M NOT SHORT!"
With that said Ed clapped his hands together and touched the floor once again.
Lucy stared at Erza wondering why she hadn't stopped the fight yet. Was she perhaps trying to test the abilities of the mysterious intruder? Gauging just how much of a threat he really was?
"Natsu, look out, he's making another weapon," warned Gray
It came as a surprise to both of them when large spikes of stone started rushing towards them instead.
"I thought you said he was making a weapon," shouted Natsu
"I didn't know his magic could do that," Gray shouted back
They were pulled from their shouting match as the blond intruder spoke up, "I already told you it's not magic, it's alchemy. Now then Ice alchemist," he said to Gray, "are you and the chimera going to get out of my way or are you going to try and stop me?"
"Shut up," growled Natsu as flames once again engulfed his hands, "I'm gonna knock you into Bolivian."
"Um Natsu, I believe it's pronounced Oblivion," said Gray.
"Shut up and put some clothes on you flasher."
"What," said Gray as he looked down at his state of undress in shock, "When did this happen?"
"Well then," said the blond clapping his hands once again touching them to his forearm, blue lightning dancing as a short metal blade extended past his wrist, "Let's get started, shall we?"
Now wielding his signature blade, Edward charged the two boys. He needed to separate them and get between them somehow if his plan was going to work.
He reached the pink haired Chimera first as he stabbed high. The pink hair boy ducked the strike and Edward dropped into a leg sweep. Once again the chimera dodged the blow, but Edward wasn't done yet. He leapt from his crouched position and delivered a flying round house kick to the boy's side using his left leg making his attempt at blocking it futile. The odd chimera flew to one side of the circle before hitting the ground.
The boy picked himself back up and he looked pissed, but now both boys were on either side of him. His plan could now begin.
"Hey losers," shouted Ed grabbing their attention, "since neither one of you are a match for me why don't you charge me at the same time."
"You asked for it," said the pink haired one, "Gray, let's get him."
Both boys charged at him, one wielding fists of flame the other a large hammer of ice. Ed made a dash at the one wielding the giant hammer, as he approached him he brought his hands together and flipped into the air. His hands touched the ice before he performed a backwards handspring, the ice already separating into hydrogen and oxygen respectively. As he flew through the air he clapped his hands again, as he touched down he touched the foor creating a pillar of stone that hurtled him over the ring of onlookers.
He needed to find cover and fast. Spotting a bar he dove behind it, instinctively tackling a young girl and a blond woman before dragging the white haired bar-keep to the floor. They attempted to stand but Ed pulled them back down before telling them, "Stay down!"
BOOM!
A large explosion rocked the guild hall as Lucy lay there underneath the weight of the blond intruder.
She couldn't help but blush as she looked into his golden eyes thinking, 'They're really beautiful.'
But before she could dwell on her thoughts any further the teenager jumped to his feet and made a dash for the door. Standing to her feet Lucy looked around the room in shock. The room had nearly been destroyed and everyone had received some sort of burn with Natsu and gray getting the worst of it. The only ones who had been untouched by the explosion were Wendy, Mirajane and herself.
"H-how did he do that," Lucy thought out loud.
It had been a real challenge to arrange the hydrogen and oxygen just right, ensuring the blast was more concussive than explosive, to make sure no one was killed, but it had still caused more damage than Edward had originally intended.
'Oh well,' thought Ed as he ran towards the door, 'It can't be helped now.'
He was almost to the door, he literally smell freedom, when all of a sudden a large shadowy creature was standing in his path.
"M-monster!" stammered Ed, nearly wetting himself in fright, before he passed out.
Natsu and Gray came to just in time to see Master Makorov standing over the intruder.
"Oh-ho, looks like I win the contest eh boys," said the master with a playful smirk, "Now then, let's find a place for our young guest to rest shall we."
"But master," Erza tried to argue but her loyalty wouldn't let her take it any further, "right away master."
Erza and other members who hadn't been too injured by the mysterious blast picked up the young man and went to find a place for him to rest.
Meanwhile in village far away, a being of shadow lurked, trying to find a new host. It waited patiently in a small alley for some unfortunate passerby to come so that he could once again be complete.
The creatures patience was rewarded as a small ball came rolling into the shadows, a young boy soon following after. As the boy entered the shadows of the alley the creature struck. The child tried to resist struggling as best as he could but soon his very being was over powered. The being was now complete, Pride completely restored.
"Soon Edward Elric, you will pay for what you did to my Father, but for now, "said the shadowy being as he gazed upon the village, a hungry look in his eyes, "It's time to feed."
A/N: Hoped you liked it. I decided to pair him with Lucy simply because Erza's personality is too similar to his, the same with Gajeel, so anyone who wanted to see those pairing I'm sorry. But other than that tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is welcome.
