Mignogna, Xing Desert, 1936
Out came the Purple Moons, on their purple hot rods, and their black Volkswagen-like jeeps and beetles, carrying men in black suits, white shirts purple pants, purple ties, and black fedoras, and women in purple dresses and black vests, with black heels armed with pump action shotguns, as the men were armed with Tommy guns.
Out of the jeeps came Sylar and Jane, along with Rosa C. Valentine, who looked strikingly like Joan Jett with her pink suit, except that she had pink soles on her black high heeled boots, and Charles G. Buffalo, who looked like Elton John in his purple suit with the snakes, only here they were transmutation arrays.
"We are here for you, Fullmetal!" Jane announced. "Turn yourself in and no one will get hurt!"
"I don't know how you found me here, but I had to go through my brother losing his entire body, and me losing an arm and leg, and so much that happened to my friends and Amestris itself, I think I consider myself retired." Ed responded, as he didn't want to be involved with anything anymore, because he believed that his story was told.
"That's ancient history moron!" Jane replied. "Come along old man, and we won't hurt your little friends."
Trisha punched Jane in the face, as she was outraged.
"DON'T CALL ME LITTLE!" Trisha screamed.
"Sorry, but that joke doesn't have the same meaning when you say it, because you aren't short and you don't feed your sister's soul." Ed replied, but I know of a joke that does work in this context.." Ed paused, as he transmuted a shotgun from the materials in his toolshed. He shot Jane in the chest, as she was injured, but Sylar healed her with alchemy.
"DON'T CALL ME OLD, DAMMIT!" Ed shouted.
"You hurt our leader!" Rosa told Ed. "Get the old geezer!" Rosa was shot in the face.
"OH YEA CAN AN OLD GEEZER DO THIS?" Ed shouted. "Hey, I got my groove back, in fact, I'm a chip off Izumi's block!" More Purple Moons showed up, as Trisha shot at them with her two pistols, Christine shot at them with her one pistol, and Ed went all out with his shotgun.
"Step right up, Step right up!" Ed said, taunting the Moons, Ed was trigger happy, as he was shooting the Moons like fish in a barrel. Being old really changed his fighting style, as he used to use bats with his face on it and his spear, but now he uses a good old shotgun.
"Why aren't you using your spear, Dad?" Trisha asked.
"Trisha, please." Ed replied. "Some archaic weapon like a spear is nothing when you have a good old firearm at your side." Ed replied. "I dumped that quirky sense of style years ago."
"Give up, Fullmetal, we have you outnumbered." Charles announced, as he used his Lava Alchemy to sink the old trailer home in the lava.
"I'm sorry, but the old Ed can't answer the phone right now." Ed told Charles. "Why? Oh, because he's dead!" Ed cooled the lava with alchemy, but failed to stop his home from being destroyed.
A metal remix of the FMAB Main theme played in the background, as Rosa was dead, because she couldn't survive the bullet to the face, which left Jane with two followers, and they jumped on the train headed for Xing, as Trisha, Christine, and Ed followed in a stolen Purple Moons jeep, because Ed's pickup truck was lost to the lava.
"Follow the train!" Ed told Trisha.
"That's what I am doing, Dad, and besides, the train could derail because of their alchemy, so I should be cautious." Trisha replied.
"Just shut up and follow the damn train already!" Ed responded. The jeep followed the train across the railroad tracks into Xing's capital, Yuanchun. Yuanchun looked like an amalgamation of Beijing, Tokyo, and Shanghai in the 1930s, where yellow flags with sideways red moons and red Chinese suns above them flew all over the city, being the flag of Xing. The train pulled in the station, and Ed, Trisha, and Christine followed them on foot, chased them through the square, and into the Xingese Imperial garden, and there Trisha, Ed and Christne sat with them on the nice green grass near a pagoda, and a Buddhist-like gate.
"What is it you desire?" Trisha asked Jane and her team.
"We want to continue a better world." Jane replied. "You, Edward Elric, maintained peace between humans and Homunculi, and by that, we have accomplished something."
"But that's all that needs to be done." Christine added.
"No, that is only the beginning." Sylar responded. "The next step is to wipe out all the world's government leaders so the world can be one big world, as all will be one, and one will be all."
"Don't you use Teacher's words for your twisted anarchist schemes!" Ed replied, as he was triggered that Izumi's words were taken out of context.
"Killing world leaders will only bring the world into chaos!" Trisha responded.
"Exactly!" Jane replied. "Chaos is the natural law of the land, for people should become independent and not rely on an authority figure to make decisions for them, they should be their own authority figure."
"Everyone's allegiance should be to themselves, not a god or a king to dictate what they do every day." Charles added.
"The Emperor of Xing will have a word with you!" Ed replied. "And I know him personally!"
