ok ok...since i got so many awesome reviews i decided to give you a update earlier than i had originally planned. here's edo being a badass.
"Are you certain Ms. Eliza?" Edward asked unsure as he looked at the man before him. The man was pale, had short shaggy black hair (NOT MUSTANG) and brown slacks on. He and the man were both shirtless and the man seemed frightened of his many scars. This man was a supposed champion of martial arts, and apparently the Rockbells had connections. Ms Eliza and Winry both nodded furiously.
"Absolutly! We must see just how much martial arts training you were given!" Edward shrugged.
"I can assure you not much, however I taught myself plenty. If you are so sure of this I shall do it." The man bounced slightly on his feet, while Edward remained in a relaxed pose, his hands in his pockets his hips arched forward a bit. Similar to the pose he had when he was bought, Winry noted mentally. The man scoffed at him.
"You have not a single battle stance?" Edward smirked.
"I have no need for such silly things. I was taught without one and I will fight without one. You may begin if you wish sir." The man nodded and sprinted forward leaping up into the air and beginning a roundhouse kick. Edward caught the man's foot in his hand easily and swung him over his shoulder, the man skidding a few feet. One hand remained in Edward's pocket throughout all this, clearly he wasn't being challenged much. The man huffed and tried again, sending a wide-swung punch towards Edward's back. Edward ducked and spun under the man's hand before throwing a punch of his own. The man flew through the air for a moment before crashing back down. Edward still had his hand in the air from his punch before he smoothly brought it down. Edward gave a bored and unimpressed glance at the man, his eyes half mast and a small frown on his lips.
"Are you certain he is a champion Ms. Eliza? He seems a bit slow for such a title." The man turned red in anger and embarrassment before kicking out at Edward's head. Edward dodged matrix style before sending a kick at the mans jaw, doing the splits in the process. Winry simply stared in awe, the boy's a god! He's very handsome, can fight, is a gentleman (most of the time) and actually cares for her like a friend (or more seeing as she is oblivious) not as a owner! Winry blushed, she couldn't help that she fell in love with a slave, he's incredible! Edward roundhouse kicked the man, sending him skidding on his side to the right, hitting the wall of the house. The man jumped back up, causing Edward to clap slowly.
"My, you are persistent aren't you sir?" The man's eyes narrowed in annoyance. He ran forward and proceeded to send multiple fast punches right at Edward's head. Edward dodged these easily enough before finally pulling the hand from his pocket and grabbing one of the man's wrists, pulling him forward as he swung his hand to punch him in the cheek. Needless to say, the man went flying again. Edward clapped for real this time.
"My, you made me use BOTH hands! Impressive, none of who i have previously fought could do such a thing. Congratulations sir." The man simply stood up shakily and spit blood onto the grass. Damn this boy! How is he so good at this when he is nothing but a mere slave? Edward approached the man.
"Do you wish to stop? I do not want to permanently harm you sir, so if you feel you may be injured, please say so and we shall take you to the infirmary." The man simply crouched down and kicked at Edward's feet. Edward nearly fell but quickly leaned back and rocked back on his arms back onto his feet. He seemingly pouted at this.
"That was rude, i was speaking to you. Are you growing agitated sir?" The man growled a bit and swung at him again, which Edward dodged again before sighing and doing as he did to his father, grabbing the man's hair and kneeing him hard in the stomach, though with his human knee this time. As, expected the man dropped to the ground, gasping for air, see9ing as it just was forced from his lungs. Edward simply picked thwe man up and, putting one of the man's arms around his shoulders, took him to the Rockbells.
"I will see to it, that he is checked out in the infirmary." They nodded and Edward quietly took the man into the house.
"My, that was very impressive!" Mrs. Eliza stated, a hand over her chest. James nodded, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Agreed. Winry, he will now be your guard whenever you may go into the market place understood?" Winry beamed and nodded.
"Completely daddy! I will feel very safe now knowing he's protecting me! He truly is something else huh moma?" Mrs. Eliza nodded, smiling at her daughters excitement. Edward returned and Winry hugged him.
"Ms. Winry! I just fought someone! I am certain I am sweaty!" She shrugged and nuzzled him, even sweaty he still smelled of nothing but cinnamon and oil. Edward sighed before complying to what he knew she wanted, and hugged her back. James huffed a bit, he was fully aware of what was happening, he just wasn't sure if he like it.
ok there's Edward being Epic and kicking that guys ass. IDK who the guy is, i made him up...though he does sound a lot like Mustang. For those Mustang haters (if there is any) enjoy this! XD any hoo R&R and all that stuff. Thx! :)
