Chapter 4
The brain is an amazing thing. No matter how much man seems to study it, it remains a mystery.
The brain continues to amaze man with the simple yet complex action of thought. For it is able to
develop and process complex ideas and thoughts…….this is not one of those times. "HA I WIN
THE STARING CONTEST!" Both Winry and Ed yelled. Obviously said words were accompanied
by matching thoughts of What was I thinking!?!?!? Staring contest?
Eddy looked at the blushing people in front of him and raised an eyebrow at them. Who does he
think he is, waltzing in and trying to take everything I've scheme..I mean worked for, well two can
play at this Eddy thought. "No need to say any thing my love, I trust you" Eddy said shining a smile
that cried out 'believe me just because I look innocent'.
Come on who is he kidding with that? Ed thought mentally rolling his eyes at such faked sincerity.
Ed's thoughts were interrupted by Winry.
"Thank you for understanding Eddy!" Winry said with a loving smile. I must be so lucky to have
found Eddy, he's so understanding! Winry thought to herself, pointedly ignoring a small voice
laughing its figurative butt off in the back of her mind. "Ed-kun I would like to introduce you to my
fiancé, Edward Hughes, but I call him Eddy" Winry said as she stood up looking from Eddy to Ed.
"Nice to meet ya EDDY" Ed said noticing Eddy's obvious dislike for the nickname. But then
something about Eddy clicked in Ed's mind "Hughes? Any relationship to Maes Hughes?" Ed asked
with obvious curiosity in his voice.
"NO relationship" Eddy stated with a tone of finality. But neither showing anger or a sense of
caring, but rather imbuing said statement with a sense of taboo. Something caught his eye though,
"Ed-kun that is an interesting automail you have there…" Eddy said with obvious curiosity at the
exquisitely crafted arm, also quickly changing the subject.
"Ya it is, but I've still got to exam it…." Ed said almost off handedly, his curiosity of his new arm
washed over his good sense/survival instincts. Only when said sense/instinct decide to float to the top
did he realize what danger he was in. Slowly he forced himself to look at Winry. Eerie silence? Check.
Glazed maniacal look in eyes? Check. Massive amount of drool? Double check. Wrench-sama
currently in hand? Oh god CHECK! Ed's internal computer, his brain processing all said information
at lightning speed. Truly something that is awe inspiring, could not come up with the answer RUN
AWAY quick enough……
"OH ED-KUN LET ME EXAM IT FOR YOU!" Winry exclaimed, quickly grabbing Ed's hand
and resisting the temptation to try taking apart the arm right then and there, rather opting to drag Ed to
her workshop. Ed didn't even get the chance to run before he was bodily dragged to his foreseeable
demise.
Eddy who was actually used to his fiancé's infatuation with anything mechanical could do nothing
but sweat drop. Actually he felt rather sorry for Ed. Better him than me Eddy sagely thought.
2 HOURS LATER!!!!
"WHY CAN'T I GET THIS THING TO COME APART!!!!!" Winry's anguished screams shook
the small village. Winry has been trying to dismantle Ed's new automail. Detail's will not be given at
this point to preserve Ed's dignity, but lets just say that Ed was looking rather battered, while his
"automail" was looking brand new. (T-T) As Winry turned in frustration, still trying to think of
SOMETHING she hasn't tried. Ed quickly took this as an opportunity to escape, especially since
Winry's "Investigation" didn't seem to be getting any where. Struggling to get up Ed gropes quickly
at the machinery next to him. Pulling himself up as quickly as possible, it should be noted that Ed was
not paying attention to where he was grabbing, his eye's held on Winry, as if watching her closesly
would prevent her from turning around and thwarting his escape. Ed's right arm is a "bit" (ooo
understatement) than his old one so he can't be blamed for using a bit too much for in pulling himself
up. Although he can't be blamed, he still has to deal with the consequences. For Ed's arm ripped a
part of the machinery off…which happened to be a tube like thing…..with wires passing through
it….high voltage wires. Let it be said that Ed's automail is one of the most advanced pieces of
machinery in the known (well canon FMA universe at least) universe, it can do many amazing things,
but metal is still very conductive, and it IS fully integrated with his body…..so electricity arm VERY
crisp Ed. "Ed?….Ed-kun? …" Winry asked curiously, poking the charred figure with a stick. "Well
at least your arm is pretty resistant to electrical shock…." Winry said more to herself.
15 minutes later
Ed is walking with a towel around his neck, sporting a tank top his black leather pants and boots.
Oh and a bandage on his right cheek (A/N ahhh the beauty of anime universe, recovery from fatal
wounds with little to no scratch, and sometimes a bandage that had NOTHING to do with the
wound). Ed was currently walking to lake. Winry was trailing behind mad that Ed was mad at her "not
my fault you grabbed a high voltage wire…" she grumbled to disregarding the fact that she was
actually going to use previously destroyed machine to induce aforementioned electricity to try and
short the system into opening….I mean it's not like I ACTUALLY did it to him Winry thought to
herself. Ed continued walking lost in thought.
As they reached the lake Ed quickly through the towel to the side and began going through a kata,
taught to him what seemed like life times ago by his sensei, Izumi Curtis. He needed to clear his head,
and he hoped that the fluid movements of training would allow that luxury to him. Winry was sitting
off to the side entranced by Ed's movements. Although she would deny it to everyone, including
herself, she was openly drooling at Ed's lithe form gliding across the field. Ed entranced in training
and using his body, he let his mind go blank. Winry entranced by Ed moving his body letting her
mind wander to, ahem, how Ed's body COULD be moving (I'll let you fill in the blank on THAT
one). Neither of them were able to notice that Ed's style was changing slowly to a more aggressive
style. Ed could not have known that Radam battle instinct was already integrated into his psyche, but
without his conscious thought to suppress it, his body would lash out in killing strikes at imagined
enemies. Ed had been feeling the need to fight, but had chalked it up to anger at his father's death,
compounded with his mothers death. Sadly neither of Ed nor Winry would notice the change at this
time, for an explosion rocked the land. Both Winry and Ed turned to see smoke billowing from the
eastern side of the village. Not wasting another second both ran towards the commotion.
Ed and Winry arrived to see 3 monsters attacking houses. These monsters looked to be giant
spiders with wolves for heads. Chimeras Ed grimly thought. Ed could see a larger group in the
distance of the same type of Chimera. Then he noticed a larger figure, it looked to be a chimera of a
griffon, with an armored figure riding atop it. Then fire from the burning building was billowing to
Ed's side as he took in the scene fully. A couple dead bodies where laying sprawled out along the
street, but then the smell of burning flesh over took his senses. Ed reflexively placed his right arm
across his chest with his fist against his left shoulder, the fore arm splitting open to reveal a beautiful
blue crystal "Teksetter!!!!" Ed screamed as he raised his fist into the air. Ed did not know why he
screamed such a thing but it felt right. Ed could feel liquid fire course through his body and across
his skin. Ed's clothes burst away as the armor burst and grafted to his body. Ed stood to full height
in his Tekknoman Armor. The armor looking darker against the light of the flames, a single glowing
blue eye visible. Ed dashed forward thrusters firing propelling him. He punched the first monster in
it's head throwing it backwards behind two more. Ed's right hand raised to behind his left shoulder
as a glowing light erupted from it, Ed's right hand gripped the glowing light. He kicked out at the
ground with his right foot against the ground dashing to the left, quickly he kicked back this time with
his left foot dashing forwards towards another monster. Pulling at the glowing light Ed pulled out a
long blade and slashed downward slicing the second monster down the middle of it's head instantly
killing it. A blue pentagon shape on the Tekknoman's head blinked. The third monster jumped at Ed
trying to impale it with its legs while the first monster was scrambling to get up. Ed's left hand shot
out a rope made of light that wrapped around the head of the third monster, spinning to the left and
using his full strength he was able to add to the monsters momentum actually pulling him around Ed.
Ed continued the motion to pull the monster sky ward and slam it into the first monster. The
centrifugal force snapped the third monsters neck while slamming it's large body into the first
monster literally crushed the first monsters exoskeleton splattering "yucky" stuff everywhere (lol). Ed
barely had time to look up as he was rushed by more of the same type of monsters. Dodging a
couple strikes by swaying to the left and right Ed pulled out a second blade with his left hand, and
began weaving in and out of the monsters slashing off legs and heads, actually whatever was in his
range. Ed finally slammed the butts of the two blades together attaching them. Thrusting the weapon
backward he stabbed through a head of a monster intending to rush him from behind. A couple of the
monsters "spat" a purplish substance at Ed, he dodged both but a bit splattered against his chest
plate. Ed looked down and noticed that it was slowly "sizzling" on his armor, slowly eating it away.
Not major damage, but Ed knew that enough of it could spell trouble. Ed spun his weapon to quickly
deflect more of the "spit". Only three more and then "him" Ed thought grimly to himself. Ed
quickly dodge to the side with aid of his boosters putting all three monsters in direct line of each
other, Ed threw the connected blade at the first one, impaling and passing through it, then the second
one, and the third one, finally imbedding itself into a building wall. Ed's energy rope quickly
recovered the stray weapon. He quickly disconnected it and once again threw one blade at the flying
griffon, using his boosters to also fly after it. The blue light on the Tekknoman's head started to blink
more urgently. The blade embedded itself into the head of the griffon killing it instantly before the
armored figure could figure out was happening. The armored figure was caught off guard to have
found such a strong opponent in a small town, but quickly recovered firing off his own boosters, two
red stones glowing on his wrists, before a multitude of gun barrels emerged from his upper torso,
firing a barrage of firepower at Ed. Ed continued through the gun fire without pass slashing at the
figure. The armored figure pulled back only to get his right arm sliced off in a shower of sparks.
"automail" Ed said to himself. "you'll never be able to stop me AND them….defeat me or save the
village…." the figure said in a tone which said that he had a smirk on his lips, knowing he had the
"hero" by his morals. Ed finally took notice of the, forest hundreds of pairs of red eyes appearing.
Suddenly a stream of Spider wolf poured out of the forest headed straight for the village. Ed's mind
froze….but neither his body nor his instincts froze. Ed dashed forward grabbing the figure by the
throat boosters flared bright as he flew down to cut off the stampede of chimera. Before the Ed
landed he threw his passenger at the oncoming horde. Upon landing he opened up his shoulder pads
revealing four green orbs in each shoulder pad. "VOLTEKKER!!!" Ed screamed as a green wave of
power erupted forth from his shoulders. The Energy totally obliterated the figure and the oncoming
horde……and a LARGE line of the forest. A pain ripped through Ed's body suddenly, the blue light
on his head pulsing rapidly. Unbeknownst to Ed within his body everything was slowing down, but
then having no food the amazing human brain tends to shut down. The Tekknoman armor has turned
Edward Elric into a powerful fighter, but nothing comes for nothing. The Tekknoman armor puts a
heavy demand on the human body, it is everything that Ed's tired and hungry body could put with.
Ed felt extremely sluggish, heavy…sleepy….The Tekknoman armor slowly…painfully phased off
leaving a naked Ed to lay on the ground. Ed's last thoughts ….can't I stay awake for once? Ed
didn't even get a chance to hear screams from the villagers especially Winry.
TO BE CONTINUED!
NEXT TIME!!!! "wow you could lose a hand in there" Aunt Pinako said to no one in particular, carelessly dodging an errant bone or plate. "Literally" She continued as she noticed Eddy running around screaming "OH GOD HE BIT MY HAND I CAN'T BELIEVE HE BIT MY HAND OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD" he continued as he ran around the room.
