Full Metal Alchemist: The Blood Snake
Wings: I created Sakuya so she's all mine!
Ed: But I like her.
Wings: I thought you liked Winry O.o
Ed: WHAT! I don't mean it like that...
Wings: Right...
Ed: Kisama...
Wings: What did you call me?
Ed: Nothing...
Wings: (grabs giant mace) DIE!
Ed: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Chapter 10: Kenji
Sakuya felt her pocket and pulled out a pocketknife. With it, she carved the air, a blue glow appearing, and soon, a window opened up. A young man's face appeared.
"Sakuya! Where have you been?"
"Later...Tayuki, find out all you can on the Blood Snake. And the X scenario."
"The X scenario! This is serious..."
"Hurry Tayuki, we don't have much time."
"Gotcha."
Sakuya closed the window and turned back to Ed and Al. They searched on their pocket computer for any information on the Blood Homunculus. Nothing had appeared so far.
"How's it going Ed?"
"Nothing yet...I can't believe this is so serious that dead people get involved."
"I'm not dead right now."
"Sure..."
Ed turned away from Sakuya's glowering gaze and looked out the window. The skies were darkening. Sakuya had said that was the result of powerful evil. Something was coming...
"Sakuya!"
Sakuya rushed over to Al who had found something on the pocket computer. Ed ran over and looked over their shoulders. A full section on Blood Homunculus had appeared, but suddenly, it all disappeared and a password lock appeared to replace it.
"Shit! Password block..."
"Ed can you crack it?"
"I'll try"
Ed clacked a few keys and hacked right in. Wooping with joy, the trio read the first line. But before they could get farther...
"Ed duck!"
The window crashed open and a giant cinderblock piece flew where Ed's head had been. He rushed to the window and looked out to see a huge chunk missing in the sidewalk. Ed jumped out the window and fell three stories. His automail held, but he felt the creakiness lagging. He would have to stop jumping from all these windows. He immediately alchemized his arm and ran over to the missing part of the sidewalk. There was nothing there to give away who it had been. He looked all around, but saw no trace. Then he heard Sakuya scream.
"Brother! Look!"
Ed looked to where Al was pointing and watched with horror as all the lights in Central whisked out. A gigantic black cloud flew over the sky and smothered any light. Soon, all of Central was in total darkness.
Roy Mustang looked out the window and saw the darkness. He knew what it meant. His arm tingled and he looked at the scar on his wrist. Jagged and wide, it seemed to burn and glow.
"Edward Elric...be careful, for a great evil is arriving."
Ed groped his way around with his hand until he was rewarded by touching something soft and lumpy. It was covered in a thin soft material surprisingly like cotton...
"ED! WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING ME!"
Sakuya slapped him clear out as he recoiled his hand from her chest. Al clanked over to his brother to see the ugly bruise arising on his cheek.
"I think I deserved that."
"Shut up!"
Sakuya looked at the sky and saw something glowing. Obviously Ed and Al couldn't see it because their spirit connection was weaker than hers. It glowed bright and started to fall...towards them. Sakuya grabbed Ed and Al and whisked them away from the area with surprising strength, as a large flaming object crashed into the sidewalk. Sakuya rolled into a crouching position as Ed and Al fell with a bump onto the road. Ed immediately looked towards the sky and saw another flaming object heading for them. He snapped his fingers and shot a streak of fire at the object and split it in half. Sakuya could not believe this mortal had such spirit connection.
"Brother! What's going on!"
"Stay still Al. We're being fired on."
"That's obvious!"
The metal one could see it too! Did the Gate influence that much? Did seeing death increase their spirit connection? Sakuya looked to see another fireball heading their way. It roared menacingly as it blasted down in front of Ed. He jumped back as a large crater formed, destroying the weak foundations of the roads. A disturbing laughter rang out in the darkness. Ed drew closer to what he thought was Sakuya.
"Ed. Stay still."
Ed nodded, not caring if Sakuya saw or not. She raised her hand and a ball of light appeared in her hand. It illuminated a small part of the city. She scanned it around like a searchlight just in time to see a blur of black and to hear the clanging of steel. Sakuya dug her heels in as an incredible force pressed into her partially drawn blade. Then the force disappeared. She scanned the place again with the light and the black blur struck her with the hilt of a sword. She flung back onto the granite and Ed yelled in anguish. He flung his blade at the blur, who blocked it easily and tripped him with a sweep of his foot. Ed fell onto the ground and screamed in pain as the black figure stabbed him with a dagger in the shoulder. Ed kicked him in the crotch with aggression.
"SHIT! YOU ASSHOLE! YOU KICKED MY BALLS!"
"What the hell!"
"Kenji!"
Kenji looked at Sakuya closely then growled at her. Sakuya narrowed her eyes as Ed stood looking at them both.
"What's going on?"
Sakuya slashed out at Kenji who flipped back and dodged the silver katana. Sakuya roared in anger and tried to cut him again. Kenji merely dodged it once more and kicked her in the shin. She howled in pain, screaming curses at Kenji. Ed exploded with rage.
"WHAT'S GOING ON!"
Sakuya spat at Kenji who stuck his tongue out.
"Kenji's my ex-boyfriend."
"!"
"Yeah, he cheated on me in our 5th year of dating."
"Ouch..."
"So why are you back here Kenji?"
"Well...Master Sheji doesn't want you to work on this mission anymore."
"Sheji! Liar!"
"He gave me permission to attack you with force if you refused."
Sakuya gritted her teeth and hefted her silver katana. It glowed in the darkness as Kenji raised his hand. It glowed with a fiery gold.
"You! You shot those flames at us!"
"Hey, I have permission to use flame alchemy."
Kenji hefted the glove in his hand and slashed at Sakuya who dodged to the side. She raised her blade to hit him but suddenly, he disappeared behind her and knocked her out. As she fell to the ground, Ed struck Kenji in the shoulder with his blade. Kenji grimaced as blood spilled from his shoulder and flashed his hand. Another golden flame struck Ed in the chest as he flew back. He flipped over, clutching his burned chest and alchemized the ground. A spike of concrete rumbled out and struck Kenji, throwing him to the air. Kenji roared out and landed on a building. Ed ran over, looking at the continuously darkening sky. Kenji laughed out and struck his hands into the sky. A flaming meteor struck down, flashing its fiery rage as Ed jumped to the side. His eyes widened as he felt his auto-mail give out. It wouldn't move. He slapped his auto-mail, felt the heat of the metorite getting closer.
"Brother!"
Al alchemized the the building to shield Ed from the meteorite. A flaming inferno lashed out, burning the shield, completely covering Ed and Al as Kenji laughed out loud. Gold sparks ran all around, the streets burning ablaze. Sakuya staggered up, her chest crushed, pain splicing into her ribs. Ed..Al! Kenji saw her moving and flicked a finger to her, a blazing inferno shot towards her. She stepped back, trying to avoid it as the heat came closer...
Mustang lifted himself off the bed with difficulty. He grasped a cane that Hawkeye had brought him and opened the door. So...A flame alchemist from the dead. He smiled at the new challenge and took his hat from the stand. Then, he walked out the door, ignoring the screams from all around.
Sakuya bled from a head wound and from her cut lip. Her clothes were nearly scorched to bits, her body covered in fresh raw welts. She stood up slowly, watching Kenji as he lifted his finger to summon another flaming bolt at her.
"Any last words Sakuya?"
"Go to hell bastard."
"Ouch. That truly hurts me. Too bad you dumped me. Hahahaha!"
He flicked his fingers and another flame leaped towards Sakuya. Her last bit of energy just barely lifting her up, she raised her hand and summoned Gaia.
"Earth Bounder Gaia! Arise!"
The earth rumbled as a large spike erupted from the darkness and intervened with the flame. Kenji gritted his teeth, seeing that Sakuya had disappeared. Then, a large crack sounded out and a giant boulder swung out at him. Gaia...Kenji dodged the boulder, the rock whistling as it crashed into a building. Gaia, the spirit of earth completely created from rocks, stood in a hideous form of spikes and humps. Roaring out, it swung another boulder at Kenji, who calmly lept away. He took a lighter out and smiled. Flicking a cigarette to his lips, he lifted the lighter to light it. Gaia screeched a piercing sound, charging at Kenji. Kenji lit the cigarette with alchemy and took the top of the lighter. Then using the fuel, he burned his cigarette into a streak of flames, moving it towards Gaia. It burned through the rock and soil, a disturbing scream clashing with the crackle of flames. Kenji's eyes glowed with the flames, his eyes alight with the devil. He flicked his fingers behind him to strike Sakuya, who had almost struck him with her katana. She fell back, feeling the pain numb as her body shut down.
"How beautiful you look Sakuya when you're almost dead. Goodbye love."
Kenji raised his hand to strike Sakuya, when a knife tore his glove completely open. He twisted back to see Mustang holding the daggers that Hughes used when he was alive. He flicked another one to cut open Kenji's leg. Kenji bent down in pain and grimaced. Mustang smirked and saw Kenji's hand raise up, clutching an extra glove. How predictable.
"Die!"
Kenji shot a flame at Mustang who cut right through it with the dagger, striking Kenji in the side. The gaping wound stared out of Kenji as he spat out blood.
"How in the world!"
"I'm the Flame Alchemist. I know flames the best, so therefore, I know its weaknesses. I learned this from a homunculus. I trained myself to see the direct air for the flame. Remember that as I burn you to dust."
"Ha! Let's see you try. You may have the weakness, but I have powers you will never have."
"Let us see."
Mustang grinned as Kenji bit his lip, tasting the blood. This was going to be hard...For he had heard of the Flame Alchemist, who had killed a homunculus as a mortal. With alchemy. The one who had done so much for the Ishbal War. Mustang cried out and ran towards Kenji, flashing his daggers as Kenji gripped the hidden katana on his back. And the showdown of the Flame alchemists began. One alive, one dead.
Wings: Strange how things can seem so real, then dead people enter the whole thing.
Ed: It's obvious there's going to be something so powerful, we're all going to fry unless we have supernatural powers.
Wings: You are supernatural, you have alchemy! plus, why'd you spoil the storyline! (slap)
Ed: Kisama...
Al: Hi! I'm lonely, you guys never talk to me.
Wings: You're not interesting.
Al: Why?
Wings: cause you are calm and smart unlike ed who is stupid and high tempered.
Al: Wow. Someone finally understands my logical reasoning.
Ed: AL! Why ARE YOU SIDING WITH HIM!
Wings: Cause, he understands the logical reasoning and I do to.
Al: Exactly.
Ed: AL! TRAITOR!
AL; Sorry nee-san.
Ed: I'll get you!
Wings: Well, I'm referee! Adios people.
