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.
