Chapter 26
The Treacherous Train Ride
"HURRY UP! We're gonna miss the train!" Kanden yelled. They all spent last night packing and were tired, well, at least Ed and Al were. "We have at least 15 minutes to get on! Why don't we take a little break?" Ed whined. "Oh, may I have some cheese with that wine? HAHA! Come on, Ed, there's no problem with being a little early now, is there?" Skye said, gripping Ed's arm, trying to force him forward but he stood firm. "There's no problem with taking a quick break either, so come on! Anyway, now that my military fund has been filled up again, we can buy something decent to eat." "And you're saying what I cook isn't decent?" Skye asked. "NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN! Sigh, I'm just saying we can buy a little snack before we get on." "Like what?" "I'm thinking ramen. How does that sound?" "OH I LOVE RAMEN! LET'S GO!" Kanden yelled, now pulling them all along to the snack stand.
After they all ate and got on the train, they sat down and did nothing for at least 30 minutes. "I'm bored!" Kanden said, yawning. "Hey! Watch this!" Skye said clapping her hands together and hitting the floor. ""What now?" Al asked. "Look outside," she said. The water from one puddle was jumping around to all the rest of the puddles beside the train tracks. "Wow! Cool move!" Kanden yelled, staring out the window, but that mood changed when she noticed something else beside the tracks. "Uh, Brother?" said Al as he saw it too. "Yeah? What?" he asked because he and Skye didn't jump to the window like all the rest. "There's a car driving along side the train." Al said. "WHAT!" Then they jumped to the window. There it was. A large car driving along side the train.
Just then a man and a woman wearing sunglasses stood up with guns at hand yelling, "Now everyone just stay seated and put your hands in the air and no one gets hurt." (I know, a train robbery. Typical. I had a brain fart.) Then the man noticed Alphonse. "Hey you in the armor! Just step out of it for a second so we can see your face." "Ummm . . ." "Oh it's just a kid. Go easy on him," said the woman, noticing the sound of Al's voice and her motherly instincts taking over for a second. "Okay, if you don't want to step out, I'll just look in." The man walked over and almost took off Al's helmet, but Ed leaped up and kicked him upside the head and took him down. "What the? Okay kid, that was foolish. We just wanted to see the kid in the armor's body. Now surrender easily and I won't shot you," said the woman as she held the gun up to Ed's head. "You can't see in the armor, no one can, but if you want to see me brother's body, you'll have to look a lot harder than just opening the armor. But if you still want to look, you'll have to get through us."
"Nice speech, but what do you mean 'us'?" Kanden asked. Ed turned around to see that the three of them had their hands in the air. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BACK ME UP!" "Mentally, not physically," Al replied. "Thanks alo . . .!" but just then the woman hit him upside the head, knocking him down. "ED! Okay, now you'll pay," Skye said clapping her hands together and ripping a sleeve off her shirt. It turned into a short whip and Skye started swinging it around, whipping the woman. Then the other train robber recovered and pointed his gun at Skye. "No one hurts my friend under my pocket watch!" Kanden yelled, grapping a light and sucking out it's energy. The energy sat in a ball of electricity in her hand and shot out like a yo-yo at the man, shocking him enough to knock him out till they got to Resembool, but the guy got at least one shot and it grazed Skye's the left arm, causing her to drop the whip and faint. Alphonse beat up the woman only enough to be able to capture her. "I got this one!" Kanden yelled as she dragged the guy over. Then she noticed, "Skye! Someone get a bandage!"
BUMBUMBUM! And I know, that train robbery thing isn't original at all but I needed something to happen! It would just be a boring train ride! Oh well, sorry for interrupting! Keep reading!
