On fia!! Or so I hope... . I just don't wan to do my English homework. Bleh. Stupid Eng Teach.
I'm still tired though. Maybe it's cause I spend so much time in front of my computer. Oh wells. Oh yeah, Do any of you know where I could watch FMA Brotherhood? I keep missing the time, and though I could prolly catch the double episode this evening I don't know if my mom'll let me. Ugh. The things I do (and I'd do) for FMA.
Oh yes. I remember telling someone that Hughes was dead in this fic. I made a mistake. Hughes is not dead. :D Sorry !! I need him in my last chapter.
I don't own. Not FMA, nor Harry Potter.
Some confusion may occur, please tell me and I'll try to explain.
Prolly lots of cussing, especially since it's ED we're talking about.
There will be some hints about Boylove, mainly RoyEd cause I'm a fan like that. It won't be explicit, and all hints of pairings... okay, all hints of RoyEd is ultimately for humour. Humor. whatever. It's for fun. Don't take it seriously.
Rating. The day I move this fic to M Rating is the day I get 10 reviews saying 'change it to M!'. I trust ye people to be calm about some cussing and some nekkidness. No scenes, people. Remember, T. TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I'm keeping the main story around two pages limit, even if I have to cut it in the middle of something.
Anyways.
KrWng - Yes she is....... though she wasn't that one. I think. She got caught somewhere after the second and before the third, so I don't know. Heheheh.
Sphia - Ahah... hah Sorry. Nope, I'm sure Moody - I mean Crouch Jr isn't going to say anything, and Harry's with Viktor, believing that Crouch Sr just attacked the Durmstrang! Sorry again for the scene. Though I do like yaoi, I don't like incest, so ... I guess it's a similar feeling. Besides, Ed agreed. Aww, the poor Ladybug. It just happened to be on the wrong side of the window at the wrong time. Uh... HUH. Right. Rita. .... ... I sincerely hope that HPFMA universe is not real then.
HrHym - XD Thanks!
Sclow - I don't really care. I say it's worth it. I'm going to save it first and then maybe print them out chapter per chapter so mom or teachers (if I print at school) don't really notice. :D
Satoz - Yes, Yes it was. I just love Ed fooling people, so my version of Edward is a very VERY good actor. XD Probably. Maybe. ... I don't know, really. :D
HstSl - XD Thanks!!
TrstD - Ahahah!! Thanks!! XD I guess, but it's just me and the story needing to have some kind of plot, and HP usually tends to have a serious BG plot. So.... ehehehe....
LMstr - :D XD :D Heheh Yes they are, Yes they were. XD
Pippy - Aww thanks! It seems I just needed some sleep (I slept for 15 hours and I'm still tired)
Enjoy!
I don't own HP or FMA, characters or plotline. This story is more like a subplot .... enjoy, and please REVIEW.
A scream rang throughout the air.
"Wasn't that Ms. Fleur?" asked Alphonse. Ed nodded faintly, and saw a red light flare up into the sky form somewhere in the south.
"She must have some trouble then..."
The third challenge had started not so long ago, and the brothers were absolutely hopelessly lost in this gigantic maze. They tried transmuting the ground, but the hedges seemed to grow along with them.
So instead they decided to take a walk; they didn't really need to win or anything, it wasn't really their choice in the beginning anyways.
"I just realized, Ed," said Alphonse suddenly, "how are we supposed to send off a red light if we don't have a wand?"
The brothers grew silent.
Edward snickered.
Alphonse chuckled.
They were stuck. Or at least until someone won and got rid of the hedges.
"… I guess that only leaves us to wander around, completely fucking lost," shrugged Edward, his face already ashen at the thought of staying in the goddamn maze until someone or another got to the goddamn cup.
Then he saw it coming. "What is that?!"
The 'thing' was some sort of a rhino-crab, a … thing, with six sharp legs and a rocky shell, no eyes visible as it glowed bright red.
"I have no idea, but it looks like a mutated crab?" said Alphonse, more as a question than an answer.
"Ack! It spits fire!!"
It was true, though there wasn't anywhere where it seemed to red fire-lava was seemingly flowing down the body, except for a very dangerous looking scorpion-ish tail at the back that seemed to glow almost purple. Whatever it did, it was nothing good.
"What the-"
Then it attacked.
Tackling towards them blindly, it gave no time to dodge.
"Al! Watch out!!"
"Aaaah!" Alphonse was caught off-guard, and the thing got to Al's hand before he could dodge. Edward picked up a small rock (not a pebble, rock) and threw it at the thing's legs, eyes widening as he saw it crumple when it hit the monster.
"Damn it!" It did, however, seem to attract the devil, as it 'turned' and headed towards Edward.
Ed clapped, waited for the thing to get into his range, and slammed his hands onto the ground, transmuting a rough hand-like shape to hold the thing down.
"Gotcha!"
It crackled irritatedly and spit fire, but other than that, it didn't move.
Sighing in relief, Edward moved towards Alphonse.
"Alphonse! Are you alright?" He checked the injured hand. It was horrid; the skin forwent the process of being burnt and having blisters, and went straight to being cooked.
"Damn, that's some burn…" Ed muttered an apology as Al hissed in pain when his fingers brushed the air at his wound. "We'll just have to find that cup quickly before it gets infected or something."
They nodded, and with Alphonse cradling his hand, they made two turns further into the maze when they ran into something.
Well, it was more something ran through Edward.
"Gahah!!" Ed felt his body shrivel as something ice cold went past his spleen.
"Hello there," said a laughing voice behind the two. Edward glared at the gleeful ghost as he passed them once again -this time between the brothers- to his original position.
Alphonse seemed to recognize the man… ghost. "Hey, you're that-"
"Yes, yes, the 'Nearly-Headless Nick'," said Nick, jerking his head in disapproval.
His head nearly fell off.
Ed gagged.
Al however, looked thoughtful. "… I thought your name was Sir Nicholas?"
The ghost blinked, and smiled warmly, and took a bow. Ed gagged again. "Yes, but no student in our school calls me it, sadly."
"Well that's rude of them, I-"
"Can we get on with the task so we can heal my brother of the burn?" asked Edward irritatedly, trying to stop himself from gagging the third time when Nick placed his dangling neck on his shoulders.
The ghost glowed pink for a second, before talking. "This is one of the quickest ways to go to the center of the maze. To pass here, you must solve the riddle I give you," a paper floated towards them, "you only get one guess each."
"And if we just decide to go through you?" said Edward, snatching the paper from the air.
Nick stepped to the side and gestured Ed to pass.
Edward took a step past the ghost to be thrown back to where he was unceremoniously.
"Right." Ed staggered up, ignoring Al's giggle. "Let's have it, then."
They looked at the paper and read down the riddle.
---
I am born with four pillars,
Two of each I do not own.
I am life, within it another,
An endless death hiding in its shell.
---
I am a trap with sharpened teeth,
Grasping everything just to release.
I am a whirlwind, a biological fire,
Crushing the deadliest merely with a touch.
I am a vacuum with an entrance
Anything that enters is nothing.
I am a watch which is always late,
A moss-covered stone in the bottom of a lake.
I am a golden medal shined to transparency
A symbol of extravagance, a useless weight
I am a virus, a plague, an uncontrollable fire
Consequence unleashed without a beginning
I am a deadly cycle, a road to and from,
Grudge beholds the one who exacts.
---
I am the strongest with impenetrable skin,
A skin so tender fit for the weakest.
I will die with nothing,
Twice the time I have earned.
---
Well? Can you guess?
It's really crappy, though.
I made this riddle up cause I was too lazy to look up a suitable riddle that didn't sound idiotic and that wasn't too easy for the brothers.
I tried, though.
EPIC FAIL.
So there. Crappy hand-made riddle. Bleh.
