"WHO YA CALLING A HYPER-CHIBI, YOU SPLIT EYE MORON!"
"YOU! YA PUNY BEAN-FACE!"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A ITTY BITTY TINY AND SHITTY BEAN!"
Asuna just had to get ed started and have been arguing for the last 10 minutes. The youngest in the room, Negi and Alphonse, had been sitting on the couch waiting for both their rants to end "How much air do those two have?!" said negi, checking the time on his phone. Al had simply shrugged "You'd be amazed how long brother could go.." Chamo, on the other hand, had been enjoying the entertaining struggle with a tiny pail pf popcorn in had "You'd forget its been 10 minutes with these two."
Asuna is trying her damnest to get a hit on Ed, but he simply proved to be too fast. Negi had looked at the alchemist, wondering had he come earlier then he would't have had such a hard time against Evangeline and her attacks. Al had finally had enough "You two done yet? We really need to get this over with and sleep." He said, knowing he could not, that they shouldn't waste this privilege
They stopped only to glare at each other and took their seats on the opposite couches, Ed spoke "So..." he asked to break the ice between them "You know this 'magic' business?" still very skeptical on the entire matter "Like i had any choice," she pointed at the young mage, who jumped at her sharp tone "This idiot thought it was a good idea to preform that kind of stuff in public!" he sputtered "B-but if i hadn't, Nodoka-san would have been injured!" only to be shoot a glare
'not as scary as teacher or hawkeye' both brothers thought "I've been meaning to ask," ed spoke "Who else knows about this whole deal?" he asked the mage and school girl, he responded "Luckily not many, so far only Asuna-san, Evangeline-san, and chachamaru-san have knowledge on magic." they nodded "What ARE their stories thought?" he looked at asuna "We already know yours."
"Evangeline san is a vampire and chachamaru is her robot slave." Asuna said simply, rubbing her temples trying TOO make sense of that "Ehhh" Ed said with wide eyes "Okay wasn't expecting that..."
after discussing the matters, ed summarized "So...Evangeline is a vampire with an EXTREMELY LARGE bounty on her head and came across your dad, Who then cursed her into being trapped in the school until he will come to break the curse, and has been here ever since for like 30 years?" He continued after taking a quick swig of tea negi had made while discussing "Your dad has been missing for nearly ten years and presumed dead to everyone except you, who had met him when your village had been terminated by his old enemy's and he came to rescue you, before mysteriously disappearing again?" rubbing his temples at the mere mention of disappearing fathers "So you spent day and night, practicing your magic to one day look for him and find him?"
Negi nodded at the complete summary of the story so far of his life "Why yes." "Now you." Asuna said look at the alchemists, Who just shrugged "Sure. That's an equivalent exchange, so sure." they then looked at their bewildered face "Equiy-What?"
"Equivalent exchange is alchemy's first law. To gain anything in life, something of equal value must be lost." They nodded, but both brother's believed Asuna was completely lost "Okay, so..."Asuna snapped out of her new episode, Ed sighed
"We grew up in a small town called resembool, that's in the country of amestris." they nodded "We lived with our mother and father, Trisha elric and van hohenheim. they weren't legally married so we just assumed our mother's last name. Hohenheim was an alchemist as well, and pretty damn smart too! He just had ass backwards priority's, no matter how smart that bastard was, " Ed had clenched both of his fists in anger and irritation "He just ditched us one day. He left without a goodbye, nowhere as to where the hell he was going and slammed the door in our faces as he left."
Al took over for his irritated brother "After he had left, we looked into his old alchemic research and begun to learn how to transmute." He took an empty cup and smashed it, before anybody could comment, he clapped hos hands and placed them near the cup. In a flash, the cup became fully repaired "Our mom let us because it reminded her of dad. She was really happy until..." the suit of armor became silent and the older brother had stopped his mental rant and placed a hand on the shoulder of the suit of armor and continued for him
"One day...our mother got really sick. She had been hiding her illness from us, so we wouldn't worry. He got her a doctor as soon as possible and told us the news that changed our lives forever,...'She doesn't have much time boys'... and we watch our mother finally giving out of sickness, we watch her...die..." the room gasped, negi had begun to show tears, chamo had dropped his pail of popcorn EVEN asuna began to lose the dark look in her eyes "We were barely ten and nine, and had to see our only family die in front of us, in her arms."
"Months after, We decided to play god." the room look closely at the elder elric as he continued "We were placed as disciples under a powerful alchemy teacher, izumi curtis." he smiled at that name. even though she was a hell-raiser, she was good as a mother "There are 2 taboos in alchemy:1" he stuck a finger up" No transmuting gold, it could very much screw over the economy and 2" he pulled up another finger "No human transmutation, THE ULTIMATE TABOO,the process of trying to create a human."
"We preformed the transmutation, in the slight chance, it could bring back our mother." "But-" negi tried to comment, but ed held up his hand "Let me explain, We performed the transmutation and that's when it all went to hell..."
"We didn't know what we had to lose to 'perfect' it, so we were pulled into circle and found ourselves in a strange plain of existence, Known to us as the 'gate of truth', In it was all-powerful knowledge on alchemy that will flow through your brain as you enter inside. Knowledge so vast and great, it began to terrorize us as it entered our brains, forcing itself in. The price, however..." He looked at the armor "was hell."
Al removed the helmet to reveal... a absolutely hollow suit of armor, Asuna was freaked as she stared into the void. Negi and chamo already knew, but were still, slightly disturbed. "It took Al's entire body and" he lifted his left pant leg, to reveal his automail "my left leg. After 'truth or the universe or all or one or me' spat me out, i looked at what our experiment had brought." the image of something not even human engulfed his thoughts
"With the last of my consciousness, I knocked over a suit of armor and with blood of my stump of my leg," he pointed inside the armor inside to reveal a circle of what they could now identify as...edward's blood "i managed to bind his soul into the armor, and in turn..." he removed his right glove to reveal a mechanical arm "i lost an arm." al placed his head back on "Brother had been able to keep me alive, but an exchange, i lost the ability to eat, to sleep...to even feel touch." Negi had began to pour out his eyes and Asuna, fully lost the look on her face, Chamo..."Holy shit!"
ed ignored and continued "Al took us to our friends, the rockbell's winry and her grandmother pinoko, they patched me up and sealed my wounds. They installed these mechanical limbs known as automail, so i could stand once more. A painful process, but it worked. A man, colonel Roy mustang, and his 2nd in command, lieutenant hawkeye, from the military came and asked if we liked to join their state alchemist program, i took the chance learning that they could fund my research so that one day,..." they continue to stare "Al could one day have body back, he could eat,sleep, feel and all the things i took away from him."
,"For years we had search of means to get back what we lost. Our first bet was the philosophers stone, which was a bust, after learning what it was made of." he shooked his head, clearing himself of the thoughts "We were in the middle of a 'plan 2' when we were sucked into a huge conspiracy involving immortal beings COMPOSED OF PHILOSOPHER STONES! After learning our leader 'fuehrer king Bradley' was revealed to be one of these 'homunculus', The colonel ,who was in charge of my actions, assigned me and al to come here away from amestris, under the request of an alchemist not under the military's eye," he grumbled "Van hohenheim of light."
"So,...they're we go." The company of the room were completely silent. Negi was sobbing uncontrollably, Chamo's mouth was opened, jaw on the ground, and Asuna was about to shed a tear but an outburst stopped her "CUT THAT OUT!"
ed stood up, pointing a metallic finger at them "I didn't say that so you could pity us!," he hated whenever someone cried over their story "I said it so you would know what we been threw. We have lost lots of people on our journey, friends...family...but we're not out yet! we won't stop until Al's back or we're dead!" That sobered them up, Ed sighed "Look.. that trip is in a couple of day's, we should rest and negi," the mage looked at the alchemist "You're our plan b." he blinked as Al continued "Your guy's magic could be the key we need to get our body's back," he look as his brother "You're always forget yourself, ed." "I don't, but al...Your priority one, i could just be an afterthought, i could live with automail."
the occupant's looked at the extreme change of the attitude, once the anger-driven dwarf was a young man who would't think of himself, rather his family. He looked at them "Guy's, you should go...we gonna unpack."
"Edward-san, you only have THREE outfits that aren't what you wear at school." "Never had the need for several outfits." he shook his head "You could give it some thought." and left with his entourage following behind
Asuna had kept staring back at the room they had left, 'That kid...'
Ed and al began to make themselves at home, as edward went to place some underwear away, al called him "Brother! check this out!" he found all near the closet holding up a guitar and several sheet's of paper, which ed took "A guitar? Maybe the old supervisor's.." he read the sheets and after reading, said aloud the titles
"...AGAIN...MELISSA...HOLOGRAM...USO(LIE)...READY STEADY GO...GOLDEN TIME LOVER... RAIN..."
this looks...interesting...
