Surpass God or Truth? Chapter 2

Fights and True Identities

Ed and Maka walked down an alley to Kid's house. It was dark by now. The moon chuckled at Ed as blood poured out of its mouth and Soul went home to park his bike.

"So, who am I meeting?" Ed asked.

Maka smiled.

"Kid is Lord Death's son." Maka said.

'Lord Death? Sounds like someone who would want to surpass Truth." Ed thought of his mission.

"His weapon partners are Liz and Patty." Maka explained.

"What kind of weapons are they?" Ed asked.

"Twin pistols." Maka said, as they walked. They turned into another alleyway and went straight.

"Then there is Black Star and Tsubaki." Maka said. "Black Star is from Star Clan."

"What's so special about Star Clan?"

Maka looked at him like he was crazy. "They are a well-known family of assassins. The DWMA wiped them out, but Black Star was only a baby so Nygus's partner, Sid, took him in."

'If he's an assassin, would he want to surpass Truth?' Ed thought to himself. He was so deep in thought; he didn't hear Tsubaki's or Ethan's description.

"When do we get there?" Ed asked, as they both turned the corner.

"Now."

Ed looked up. A 5 story mansion stood tall (and perfectly symmetrical) over the other buildings.

Maka walked ahead and Ed followed after. She rang the doorbell and Ed heard a loud crash!

"Black Star, please don't do that!" a girl's voice cried.

"My house! It's no longer symmetrical!" a worried, boy's voice yelled. Ed heard a thunk and crazy laughter.

"I'll help you, Sis! Looks like Kid is tired!" a high pitch, cheerful voice exclaimed.

Ed got goose bumps as he heard a chilling laughter. It was familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on whose voice it was.

"I guess I'll get the door." a sly voice said.

The door opened and Ed came face to face with Ethan. Ethan looked at Maka.

"Hey, Maka. What's up?" Ethan said in a mocking tone. It wasn't that he was mocking her that was just how he talked. Everyone knew by now.

Ethan was a lean boy with short black hair that spiked out. His eyes were a dark, dark blue. Almost purple. He wore a sleeveless T-shirt and jeans. His teeth were somewhat sharp and a sly smile the told you he was up to no good.

His eyes landed on Ed and he tensed.

"You. What are you doing here?" Ethan said, his voice compared with a whisper.

Ethan ran into the house and jumped super high. Doing a few flips in the air, he landed on his feet perfectly on a second story window ledge. He used his heel to break the window until it shattered and he jumped into the night.

Everyone saw what happened.

"HOW DARE ETHAN STEAL MY SPOTLIGHT!" Black Star yelled while swinging on a chandler.

"Black Star, please get down." Tsubaki said.

"I will someday surpass god! No one takes my spotlight!" Black Star yelled.

Ed stared at the blue haired assassin. He has to convince him to stop trying to surpass god, or the father incident may happen all over again.

Maka and Ed looked around the house. They didn't even notice Soul walking behind them.

Liz and Patty were carrying an unconscious Kid up the stairs. Black Star was standing on the chandelier.

"My show is about to begin and I am the star!" Black Star shouted.

"Please get down!" Tsubaki called to her meister.

Ed leaned closer to Maka.

"Is it always like this?" He whispered.

"Black Star, acting like a fool and Kid passing out, ya." Soul said. He stood behind them, hands in his pockets.

"Ethan doesn't act as uncool as that, though. I wonder what has gotten into him."

Ed, Maka, and Soul walked on the couch and watched Black Star yell about his performance.

When Black Star was over, Ed watched him jump off the 50 foot high chandelier and landed on his feet in a kneeling position.

"I am the great assassin, Black Star, and I am the star of every show!" He shouted at Ed.

Ed smirked. 'I wonder...'

"Well, can you do this?"

Ed clapped his hands together and touched the floor. A large statue of him arose from the ground.

Black Star stood wide-eyed. He growled.

"No one takes my spot light! I challenge you to a duel!" Black Star declared.

"Bring it on!" Ed shouted. 'It's been a while since I've had a good fight.' he thought.

"Tsubaki."

"Right."

Tsubaki transformed into a chain scythe and Black Star got ready in a fighting stance.

Ed clapped his hands together and a long, pointed staff came out of the ground.

Ed and Black Star charged at each other. Ed tried to hit Black Star with the staff and Black Star blocked it.

"Tsubaki, ninja sword mode."

"Right." There was a puff of smoke and Black Star recited the assassin rules to himself.

"Assassin rule #1. Silence. Erase your breath and dissolve in the darkness..."

Ed knew something was off.

"Wait a minute." Ed whispered.

The image of Black Star slowly faded away and Tsubaki stood in its place.

"We call this one the Shadow Star."

Black Star flew down to strike Ed, but he defected it.

"How?" Black Star said, a little out of breath.

"Good thing Al taught me a little akehestry. Detecting chi comes in handy." Ed said.

"Tsubaki, chain scythe."

"Ok."

Tsubaki turned into a chain scythe.

Black Star threw one of the scythes at Ed. Ed side stepped and Black Star threw the other. Ed deflected it, but was too busy to see Black Star run at him and kick him hard in the stomach.

Ed slumped to the ground. Black Star stood boldly.

"Sorry, but a big man like me cannot have anyone taking his spotlight."

Soul shook his head. "So not cool, man."

Ed held on to the side of a couch and stood up.

'I'd love to see this guy fight Teacher.' Ed thought. 'He wouldn't stand a chance.'

Ed plopped on the couch.

"Where did you come from?" Tsubaki asked Ed, politely.

"I'm not from around here." Ed said. "I live a few hours away."

"What was that thing you did with the staff and stuff? I didn't see your partner!" Black Star said.

'It wouldn't hurt anybody if I told them.' Ed thought.

"It's a science called alchemy. It's the science of-" Ed paused. Black Star was in a slumped position, snoring.

Ed sighed. This was the powerful being that need to be killed?


Ethan ran through the streets. He ran at record-breaking speeds, but only ran faster. The streets and alleyways became blurs and panic arose in his chest. Although he ran 70 miles per hour, Ethan didn't break a sweat.

He ran up the stairs to his apartment and shut the door behind him.

Suddenly, red static covered Ethan. His black shirt and jeans became a skin-tight shirtless shirt that stopped to show off his stomach and a black skort. His spiky black hair grew longer and more pointed. His blue eyes became violet and tattoo revealed itself on his thigh.

Envy paced the room.

"What's the Fullmetal Pip-squeak doing here?!"

...

WGLB: Oh! Hangover!

ENVY: What's the pip-squeak doing here?

ED: WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT YOU CAN ONLY SEE HIM WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS?!

WGLB: No one said that...

(Ed and Envy fight in the background)

Ok... Anyway, I dont own Soul Eater or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood!
