FMA 6- Day by Day

I woke up with a book on alchemic reactions hung loosely in my hand. Hours ago, I decided to study a little bit before my assessment. I guess I kind of dozed off, seeing how I was very close to the end of it. I closed the book and but it back of the library shelf neatly. I exited the library I was in and headed towards the field where the assessment was to be held.
Might as well observe the arena, it may give me a couple of advantages, possibly a few rocks to jump on or transmute. I neared the end of the hall to huge double doors that let to the outer part of the arena. I pushed open the large doors and walked down the dusty path around the arena. I just decided to walk a couple of laps not only to observe but to also think. Things happen so fast that I don't actually have the time to think things through anymore. As a result I get caught up in matters and often get confused. I guess now was as good time as any.
Hours flew by like minutes to me, but at that point I really didn't care. Time was not an important matter right now, but I was even too caught up in my thought s to realize that. I hope Ed does get enough rest though; I wouldn't want to fight a weak, sleepy shrimp. He would probably use that as an excuse when I do beat him. …Well that's one hell of a way to get promoted.
I didn't realize it, but little by little military officials showed up to watch the battle go down. By the time I finished my last lap a whole crowd showed up. I sighed, and silently walked over to a large, thick rock and just merely leaned against it and waited for Ed to show up. I stood there for a few minutes until I looked out into the distance and saw a short human figure coming up the hill…..about time.
Hughes was once again the announcer, except this time he didn't have a giant Elysia portrait type thing to squish him flat. I took off my black over coat, knowing it would only get in the way. I had on a black tang top, a leather belt, and blue jeans. My auto mail was fully visible, but I didn't really care. Finally, Ed and his short self finally reached the middle of the arena where I stood waiting.

"Ready to lose, Sam?" He asked in a very confident tone.

"We will see about that." I replied coolly, with a smirk on my face.

We took or fighting stances and waited for tat one word the would start everything.

"BEGIN!" yelled Hughes signaling fort the fight to begin.

Ed quickly transmuted his auto mail into a blade and came after me running. I had a blank stare on my face and made no effort to transmute or even move for that matter. He aimed to punch me in the jaw, but I quickly ducked my head and punched him in his stomach successfully. That knocked some air out of him. We stood at opposite sides of the arena, I was blankly staring at him and he was gasping for breath. We both waited for the right opportunity to strike. Tat whole time I was counting in my mind to see how many seconds it would take, 7…8…9..10! In a blink of an eye we reacted and ran towards each other. When we collided in the middle of the arena there was a series of punches kicks, blocking each others attacks, and especially aerial back flips and attacks

"Don't tell me you aren't even gonna TRY to use alchemy!" Ed yelled trying to punch but I just quickly moved to the side and snatched his arms and out them behind his back.

" I don't need alchemy to kick you ass Ed, its as simple as that." I replied in a mocking manner and quickly let go of his arms and did a back hand spring to evade whatever attack e planned on once he was finally released form my grasp.

He was pissed now.

"I'm only holding back because you're a girl Dammit!"

"Excuses, excuses…" I said shrugging, and then came after him running. I ran towards him making it look like a full frontal attack, but at the last minute I flipped over him. Grabbed his shoulders, and threw him over my head.

Unfortunately, that attack caused a lot of dust to fly up making a big haze. I kept doing back hand springs until I reached the giant rock I was leaning on earlier and quickly climbed to the top where I stood there waiting. The dust cleared a little bit and I could see Ed running around trying to figure out where I went. I laughed to myself. He looks shrimpier from all the way up here. I guess he finally did see me because when the dust passed he transmuted a cannon aimed towards the tip of the rock, in other words its aimed at me.

"The Hell!"

Without warning, a series of darts were shot in my direction I did the best I could and managed to dodge all the silvery needle darts. But there is only so much you can move on a tiny tip of a rock as I was about to fall backwards off the cliff, one final dart came my way and shot me in the shoulder.
"….Fucker…." I said as I finally started to fall off the cliff. At right about 20 feet till I would have hit the ground, I grabbed a ledge and hung there swaying.

"SAM!" I turned around to see Ed running towards me, a worried expression on his face.

Then, a jolt of red light started to glow behind me. I turned around. …Alchemy? There wasn't anyway I could manage to dodge it, so I was down to two choices. Get shot down by alchemy, or let go of the ledge and fall….I chose…to fall….
