Jibley stretched out. "Boy it's good to be able to just go somewhere."
Ed, Al, and Jibley were sitting on benches in a tree-filled park. Jibley looked like she was having fun. Earlier, they went to a store to get Jibley proper clothes. But her choice was all but proper. She had a blue long sleeve blouse that only came up to her shoulders. Her pants were low and boot cut with frayed seams. Around her neck was a cross necklace.
Ed and Al just looked at her perplexed that someone could be so happy. At random times, she would go play with some of the children and kick around a ball. Ed got up to go speak with her.
"Jibley?"
She looked around. She was about as tall as Ed but just slightly shorter. "Yes, Edward?"
He swallowed a lump in his troat. "You said you and your brother also tried to bring back your mother. Right?"
She nods. He continues. "Well you said you, also, went though changes."
She looked at Ed sadly. "And I wasn't lying. It's just . . . it's just a different change then what you'd expect."
Ed looked confused.
BOOM!
A large sound came from the opposite end of the park. Ed and Jibley looked quickly toward the direction of the large boom noise to see that half of the other side of the park was completely gone. The ground was sprinkled with little bodies of children. Jibley looked horrified.
"Jacob." She started to run towards the wreckage.
"Jibley!"
Al comes running over. "Ed, what's going on."
Ed looks seriously at Jibley's back. "I don't know . . . But we're going to find out! Come on, Al!"
Ed runs after Jibley, followed by Al. Ed was about on top of Jibley.
"Jibley, Wait!" At that moment she clapped her hands and laid them on her shoulders.
"Give me strength, Big brother!" All of a sudden purple wings sprout from her shoulder blades.
"Purple wings, take flight!" She jumps and the wings carry her on the back of the winds.
Ed stops as the brush of wings hit his face. He looks up to Jibley as she flies away, perplexed and amazed.
"Ed!" Al comes up behind him. "Do you think . . . ?"
"Yeah, Al. I do." He looks down at his feet. " But I wish she wasn't."
Jibley soared through the air. Wind cutting at her face.
"Jacob . . . you must stop."
In front of her was another person. She looks angrily at him.
"JACOB!"
The figure turns around. It is a guy, around 20 or so. His hair is jet black while his eyes are deep brown. He, too, had wings but they were dark blue. He smirks at her.
"So you came to stop me yet again, Jibley."
She stops in mid air. "Stop this right now, Jacob! You know this is wrong on so many different levels."
He turns towards her and opens his arms. "But my dear, why would this be wrong. I'm just ridding the world of all the impurities that has . . . "
"Impurities my behind! You're doing it on your own accord! You love to kill, and it's obvious!"
"You know you and I are alike. We're both incomplete angels looking for a way out. Why won't you join me?"
She looks towards the ground below. "Because I'm not an a psycho freak of nature like you!"
She looks up. "This is it Jacob! I will defeat you today!"
Ed and Al finally reach the site of the wreckage.
"Jibley!"
"Ed she can't hear you."
"Arg . . . Come on, Al, lets help her."
But it was to late. Jibley attacked Jacob, but didn't succeed. He moved to the left a bit and slammed her on the back just before she got to far. She started to fall towards the ground head first. Jacob chased after her. When he was face to face with her, he clapped his hands.
"I know your weakness. Now I'll use it against you."
He placed his hands on her shoulder blades. A red glow and the wings disappear. Jibley stops falling, turns upright and dangles in midair. Then she starts to scream. Cuts and bruises appear on her skin.
"Jason!Help!" was the last scream she utters and she faints and falls the rest of the way to the ground.
Ed and Al run under her just as she gets close to the ground. In a last triumph, they catch her together, Ed falling. They lay her on the ground, most of her weight on Ed. The both of them look up to see Jacob speed toward the tallest building.
"Al . . . do you know who was that?"
Al shakes his head. "But brother . . . she . . . Jibley . . . she's the one who we were looking for."
Ed looks back at Jibley. Her face is calm under all the blood. "I never would've thought this is the change she talked about." Ed looks up at Al. "Come on, Al. We can't stay here."
"But brother..."
"Al. I. Am. Not. Leaving. Her. Here. OK?"
Al nods his head. "Ed I wish you were more considerate of what colonel Mustang says than your own problems."
