I have a confession to make… I'M THE MOST IRISPONSIBLE RETARD ON THE PLANET!!!!! Ok, now that I've yelled that, I'd like to apologize for once again not posting for like, a month. The best news is that I wrote a Halloween special, only to not finish it in time for Halloween. So I have a half done special sitting on my computer. It's a bit too late now, and I'd like to say that I'm gonna try and get a Christmas special for the correct date.
Kyo: Geez, you're so unreliable.
Me: *stares at floor guiltily*
Momiji: Kyo! Don't be mean.
Frog: You're just upset that she beat you yesterday in that hand to hand combat.
Kyo: SHUT UP! I WASN'T TRYING!
Frog: *roles her eyes* sure you weren't
Kyo: Dam you!
Me: Calm down. Geez, you're to easy to aggravate.
Kyo: *steams*
Sirius: She has a point.
Kyo: I'll beat you all!
Me: No chance. I have Jack. *pulls Jack in front of her as a living shield*
Jack: I feel so appreciated Peanut. No really. *sighs*
Ok keep reading peoples!
Disclaimer: Wait… are trying to tell me I DIDN'T invent Nightmare Before Christmas and other! Wow… I wouldn't have guessed.
Da da da da Banana Boat
"Halt!" the slightly taller figure ordered but none of the Lab Coats listened, instead the ones with guns swung around and aimed their guns at her, "Ed, will you take care of this?" she asked calmly. No one answered by suddenly all Lab Coats in the room were engulfed by the floor and were trapped, only their heads showed. There were a lot of shouts of protest,
"Shut up or I'll completely cover you." the second figure ordered harshly. I watched still a little dizzy, but most of the weakness was fading away.
"Peanut! Are you ok?" the first figure yelled worried and ran over to me, it was Frog. She helped me into a sitting position and I noticed Edward Elric was standing behind her looking around at all of the heads.
"I am now! But I need to stop those guys, I don't know what portal I opened!" I started trying to stand, Frog tried to stop me but I used the control board to pull myself up. I grabbed my dragon stone out of the machine and fell back to the ground and crawled over to Dr. Cains head to find the protective bag thing lying next to him. I rummaged around in it and pulled out my dragon band in it. I quickly put it on and fixed to stone into the clasp. The moment I'd done that I felt my energy return. Dr. Cain opened him mouth to say something, but before he could utter a sound I stuffed the bag into his mouth, and then stood up.
"Ok, now I'm good to go. Hi Ed! Long time no see." I smiled waving happily at him, he just started at me arms crossed over is chest.
"Why is it that every time you turn up something weird happens?" he said, I frowned,
"The weirdest thing that's happened today is that you turned up. Besides you hang out with Frog so you should be used to weird." I mumbled, than suddenly launched myself at him and hugged him, he cried out but I let go and jumped back before he could do anything. "There we're even." I smiled and turned to look at Frog but spotted Steven as I turned. He was still standing and was rooted to the spot.
"Ed didn't transmute him into the ground because he looked like he was with you." Frog said seeing my expression,
"Good." I smiled again and waved at Steven. "Steven, I'd like to apologise for lying about you helping me, but I decided that I had to for your own good. I'll explain another time, but right now I need you to stay with these two." I explained at full pelt, I could feel my time was running out, and pointed at Frog and Ed, "So stay here." I then grabbed Ed and pushed him at Steven, the two collided, "Ed, keep him from running away." I then turned to Frog, "I need to go stop those Lab Coats, Jack and others are in a room under this place, you should be able to find it. Take care of things while I'm gone." I smiled running for the portal, I could tell it was about to close.
Just before I reached it Frog jumped in front of me, "NO! Peanut you can't!" she ordered, but I was already running too fast and I couldn't stop, I ended up running her over and then managed to trip myself up and fall through the portal. The last thing I saw was Ed holding Steven and Frog lying a little crushed on the ground before colours began to swirl around me.
Eat more cheese
I came out of the other side of the portal, flew out of it and smashed into the ground. After pulling myself up I looked around. I was in the middle of a city of some kind. There were people wandering around everywhere and luckily none of them seemed to have noticed me appear out of nowhere and I praised myself for hiding all dragon attributes the moment I attached my dragon stone to my band. I started to wander around lost and unable to find anything that looked vaguely familiar. What dimension was I in? I rubbed my head thinking then decided to take matters into my own hands and see if I could find those Lab Coats.
"Um, excuse me sir." I said walking up to a random in the street, "Have you seen any men walking around in lab coats? Maybe suspicious looking." I asked,
"Yeah actually, I saw two people in the town centre. Why are you are they dangerous." The man asked looking concerned,
"No, there's nothing to worry about. I'm just lost that's all." I said smiled broadly, "Can you direct me to the town centre?"
"It's just up that street and down the first left. You can't miss it, there's a huge fountain in the middle of it." He man said pointing down the road I was on,
"Thanks." I said waving goodbye,
I ran down the street scanning the faces of all the people I passed, to see if I recognised any of them. With no success. As I rounded the corner the man had told me I just managed to glimpse a lab coat before it disappeared down a street on the other side of the main square.
I ran across determined not to loose the Lab Coats. I bumped into a few people on my way but managed to catch up. I followed a group of them through some deserted back alleys. Suddenly they stoped and one peeked around the corner,
"Yeah they're here. Apparently the tinny one can use some sort of magic so make sure you get the restrainers on him quick. The bigger guy is a scientific goldmine, don't damage him. Understood?" The first Lab Coat whispered, and the other's nodded,
"Yes commander Heart." They whispered in unison. The commander, Heart, made a hand gesture and they all walked around the corner to confront whoever it was they were confronting.
I ran to where the Lab Coats had been, and peered around the corner to watch.
The five lab coats stood blocked the exit to the dead end they'd just entered, and standing in front of them where two rather confused and surprised looked people who I knew. Edward and Alphonse Elric! I would have cried out in shock if it wasn't for the Lab Coats, how what Ed here if I'd just seen him in my dimension?
"Who the heck are you?" Ed asked looked at the Lab Coast, Heart said nothing and just nodded his head, the other four scientists attacked. Completely taken off guard Ed didn't have time to stop them as two Lab Coasts grabbed his arms and quickly chained them together with the restrainers. While the other two managed to restrain Al.
"What the-" Ed started,
"This was easier than I had thought. I was worried you put up a fight." Heart gloated, Ed snarled at him,
"What do you want with us?" he growled,
"We don't really need you, but this armour is quite unique and we need a little encouragement to keep it moving. We have not found anything like it before." Heart said,
"He's not a thing! He's my brother!" Ed yelled,
"Yes it has your brother's soul working it. But for it to be considered human, it has to have flesh and blood. Both of which it lacks." Commander Heart smiled, I had to stop myself from throwing myself at him,
"Take the armour away. I don't want to waist time; we'll begin the dissection as soon as we're back at the lab." The lab guy said,
"Brother…" Al called softly,
"I won't let you touch-" Ed started to yell but was cut off as one of the Lab Coats tied a rag around is mouth. Ed mumbled something then clapped his hands together and placed them on the Lab Coat next to him. He looked triumphant for a second then… nothing happened. Ed looked rather shocked.
"Those chains around your wrists will prevent any of you magic. Don't worry, it'll be quite an uneventful trip." Heart sniggered then gestured for the lab coast to start moving. At first Al refused to move, but one of them placed a gun to Ed's head and that got him cooperating.
I felt anger boil up in my chest. How could anyone treat Al like that! I quickly revealed my dragon talons, just in case.
Just before the Lab Coast squad could even leave the dead end I casually walked out in front of them, making them stop dead in their tracks.
"You." the head lab coat hissed,
"Yes me. I must say tying me up and making me open a portal was rather irritating. So I followed you and as I was walking past, I happened to hear you talking. And me being me I decided to investigate considering I'm stuck until you managed to reopen the portal." I smiled cheerfully, Ed stared at me and I couldn't really tell with Al.
"So you came to rescue our samples." Commander Heart said,
"Yeah I guess. You know if I could and all, and since it's only five of you, I think I'll manage." I grinned,
"Well perhaps you'll think twice before saving this thing. You see it's an empty shell, not really human." Heart said, and Ed went all crazy again.
"You're point?" I asked, Heart just smiled and knocked off Al's head. The other entire Lab Coasts gasped a little, I guess they hadn't known what was going to happen.
"You see some things in this world are less than human." He smiled,
"You're right. And I can see five right now." I glared, just before swiping at the Heart's coat with my claws and ripping it to shreds without actually hurting him, "So do we still need to talk, or have I made my point?" I asked looked at the four Lab Coats, who all quickly dropped Ed and Al and ran off, Heart following quickly.
I watched them run around the next corner and smiled. Then turned to see a confused and suspicious looked Ed and a headless Al staring at me (well I guess Al was staring at me, it's hard to tell when he hasn't got a head.). I started back a little, as I do, still trying to figure out why Ed was here and why Al didn't have his body; I was sure Frog and Oryx had restored it, but I think Al took my stare a little differently.
"Please don't scream. I won't hurt you!" he said sounding worried, and still headless.
"Huh? What? Scream? Me?" I asked falling back to earth, or whatever dimension this was. I quickly picked Al's head back up, put back on him and untied his arms.
"Thanks." He said standing up, but I wasn't done yet. I gave him a once over first to make sure he was ok.
"Overprotective stranger!" I cried after giving him a clean bill of health, then I turned to Ed, who was still chained up and gagged, "SORRY! Got distracted!" I said then ran over to him and ungagged him, he started talking immediately.
"And who are you?" he asked,
"Hmmm, so you don't know me… well than I'm other back in time or this is an alternate dimension" I frowned thinking aloud, then got to work on picking the lock on the restrainers.
"What was all that portal stuff you were talking about?" Ed asked,
"Shh, I'm not a great lock pick yet! Only an apprentice. Jack was teaching me but he got locked up and I was tied to a chair and then there was all this portal stuff and then you." I said, and then cheered loudly when I heard the 'click' of the lock opening, "Yay! Now you two owe me!" I smiled happily before throwing the restrainers to the ground and asking Ed to transmute them into something useful and preferably not dangerous.
"Um, ok." He said awkwardly, and turned them into a cup.
"Cool! Now what to do with it?" I asked myself thinking.
After a few minutes of what was an awkward silence for Ed and Al, Al finally broke it.
"Aren't you even a little creped out by the fact that I'm only a suit of armour?" he asked,
"No, why?" I asked forgetting the cup for a second,
"Well… every other time someone's found out they freaked. I guess, this is just weird." He said looked awkward again, I was getting sick of awkward.
"Please, I hang out with a living skeleton, and Frog. Weird isn't a problem with me." I smiled, then frowned again "Speaking of which, do you by any chance know Frog or perhaps Oryx?" I asked,
"Who?" the brothers asked in unison,
"How old are you Ed?" I asked,
"Fifteen. Why do you need to know?" Ed asked suspiciously,
"Ok, alternate dimension it is." I said picking the cup up and examining it closely, then looked up at the two again, "Well I'll need to inform someone that those guys are running around, and I need somewhere to stay until I can get back to my dimension, so you guys are stuck with me until further notice." I smiled,
"What?! You can't just do that!" Ed yelled, but Al stopped him
"Brother, we do owe her." Al said quietly and Ed calmed a little. I walked up to him and stood directly in front of him, measuring him as I did.
"You are way shorter here." I commented, then jumped away from him as he blew a fuse,
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU CAN ONLY SEE HIM IS A MICROSCOPE!!!!" he yelled, and Al had to grab him to stop him charging at me, I smiled.
"Good, so that's the same, I wonder what's different." I said aloud to myself again, "Either way I need to track those guys down, and the other five that came with them."
"Who were those guys anyway?" Al asked,
"Lab Coats." I smiled, but refused to elaborate,
"Ok fine. I guess we better go see if Mustang has heard anything, or perhaps Hughs." Ed said trudging off,
"Did you way Hughs?" I asked, he nodded looking a little confused,
"So that's what's different." I smiled to myself, and skipped off after Ed, humming to myself.
Another long chapter. Ok, for those who don't know the Elric brothers, I'd like to say that a, You should try reading Full Metal Alchemist though it's your choice, B, If you don't read it, then you need to know they are really cool! C, and yes, Alphonse is an empty suit of armour if you didn't pick that up. There's a reason to it and it's complicated so just accept that he's Edwards's younger brother, and finally D, Alchemy is the changing of one thing into another like led into gold, you may know about from other things, but if you don't I'd just like to say, even though it breaks my heart, in our dimension it's impossible.
Ok I'm happy now, see ya!
