Chapter 19

Unleashed

Yukio sneered at Edward, "I will not loose, you insolent child."

The young boy smirked, "Oh, don't be so cocky. I don't plan on loosing to the likes of you, so… you get the point."

Scowling, Yukio raised his hands, black electricity circling his palms. The boy was starting to become a true nuisance. He was foiling all of his perfect plans! How could one so small, create so much trouble for him? It was simply unheard of.

"So," Yukio said, dangerously low, "You wish to die? That, my boy, can be arranged."

The blacked-haired maniac charged. Sparks were flying from his blackened hands. He raised his fist, slightly, ready to send a powerful uppercut at Ed's face, but Edward knew better. Ed ducked down low, sticking his leg out, trying to make Yukio fall.

Yukio jumped over Ed's outstretched leg and sent his other fist hurdling towards his enemy. Ed caught Yukio's hand, but something happened.

"AH!"

Ed stumbled backwards a bit, and looked at his charcoaled palm.

'What happened?' he asked himself.

Yukio was grinning, "Now, that wasn't very smart." He commented. He raised his fists again, and showed off his sparking hands.

Ed's eyes narrowed, 'I'm so used to normal punches, that I automatically reacted to that.' he thought.

"Bastard," He quickly clapped his hands, and placed them on the ground. Large cracks were forming around Ed's feet, and soon, they began to head to Yukio.

The man wildly looked around, as the cracks circled him. He threw his arms out to his sides, as his hands glowed brilliantly. He then bent his elbows, and made his fists crash to the ground. As soon as they came in contact, an explosion occurred, and Yukio was shooting through the air. No sooner had he taken off, that the very place he had been standing collapsed into a seemingly bottomless pit.

Yukio landed gracefully and turned to face his enemy again. But before he could react, Ed's automail arm, that had been transmutated, was thrust into his chest, right where the heart was supposed to be.

"Wh-what?" he gasped, sinking to his knees.

Ed frowned down at him, "I wish it didn't have to come to this," he said sadly, "But you deserve it."

He pulled his blade out, and spun around slashing Yukio's chest with the sword again. The man gasped in pain, and clutched at his chest. He keeled over, and Ed looked down at him.

"I'm almost sorry," he murmured. Turning on his heel and transmutating his arm back, Ed began to walk back to his brother and Kaname.

"Brother!" cried Al, "Behind you!"

"Huh?" Ed slowly turned, and was met with blackness.

The alchemist stepped back in surprise. Yukio was before him with his darkness blade out.

"I will NOT be defeated," he mumbled, stepping forward.

Ed's eyes were wide, 'H-how? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!' he screamed in his mind. He gently brushed his fingers over the cut on his cheek. He pulled them away and looked at his gloved hand. There was fresh blood on the fingertips.

Having been distracted, Ed never saw Yukio coming at him. It wasn't until he felt Yukio's blade pierce his flesh shoulder did he even bother to look up.

"Guh," Ed clutched his wound.

Yukio was smirking once again, "You really should pay attention, you know. I could've killed you."

"Then why didn't you?" Fullmetal asked, slowly removing his red jacket.

Yukio was shocked for a minute, 'Yes, why didn't I?'

"Well," he began slowly, "I suppose it was because I felt sorry for you. After all, you are going to die soon."

Ed scowled, "Not likely!"

He ran forward his blade raised above his head. He brought it down swiftly, only to have his enemy block the attack with his own sword. Seeing an opening, Ed rammed his elbow into Yukio's gut. The man stumbled back, an arm wrapped around his stomach. Ed, seeing his chance leapt forward and stabbed Yukio in the stomach.

Although he could feel an immense pain, Yukio did not fall. Instead, he put his hand over the injury and healed it. Simple as that.

'I can't keep this up!' Ed was beginning to panic, 'No matter how hard I hit this guy, he just won't stay dead! What am I supposed to do!'

'Edward!'

"Huh?" he deadpanned, receiving a blow to the face by Yukio. "Uh,"

'Edward, pay attention to Yukio, but listen it me at the same time! Can you do that?'

Ed was a little wary of this new voice, but at the same time; confused. The voice was familiar to him.

"I guess I could try." He mumbled.

The voice sighed, 'Good. Now listen, first thing's first; I'm in your head.'

Dodging a kick to the stomach, Ed replied politely, 'WHAT!'

The voice groaned, 'Yes, now LISTEN! I know how you might be able to defeat Yukio.'

Unfortunately, Edward wouldn't be able to completely listen to the voice's instructions, for Yukio had now begun to attack physically, very fast.

Duck punch, '-take away-' Jump over leg, '-can't live without.' Block roundhouse, 'USE YOUR HEAD!'

That was it!

'I got it!' Ed smirked.

He dodged another uppercut by sidestepping, and brought up his transmutated arm.

Yukio was beginning to grow tiresome of that arm. Always ruining his figure. So, he decided to do something about it.

He stepped forward before Ed could do anything, and grasped his arm.

"Wh-what are you doing!" Ed cried.

"BROTHER!" screamed Al, in the distance (A/N: Can't forget about Al!).

Yukio's hand glowed black again, as his gripped the arm tight, "Getting rid of a nuisance"

In the blink of an eye, Ed's automail arm exploded into tiny bits (A/N: picture when Scar busted up Ed's arm).

Ed gasped, "NO!"

'How am I going to kill him, now!' he was expecting the voice to answer, but it never did.

Yukio brushed his hands off on his pants, "Hmm… It seems you're finished now."

"NOT A CHANCE!" with that, Ed shot off towards the village, stumbling a bit because of the weight difference. He was now unbalanced.

He ripped off his black jacket and tossed it to the side. He hurried over to a small, brick hut, pulling out a small piece of chalk, and swiftly drawing a transmutation circle on the wall. In a flash of light, a brick sword came out from the wall (A/N: Hey, it's better than nothing!).

Ed turned around just in time. Yukio's sword was about to collide with his skull. Quickly putting the brick 'rod' up, he heard a sizzling noise. Glancing at his weapon, he noticed that it was disintegrating.

'Damn!'

He pushed all his weight on the two blades and forced Yukio away. Ed threw down his weapon and ran over to Al.

"Brother?" the suit asked curiously.

"AL!" Ed gasped, "Could I borrow your arm?"

Al was startled, "Uh, yeah, sure." He detached his arm and handed it to his brother, who drew another circle on the metal, and turned it into another sword (A/N: You'll see why it's always a sword).

Ed smiled, "Thanks, Al. I'll bring it back soon."

Ed picked it up and dashed off to fight Yukio. He didn't have to run for long, because Yukio was also running at him. They clashed blades and pushed forward, trying to knock the other down.

"Why won't you just give up?" grunted Yukio.

"Because," Ed grunted back, "I can't."

Ed was sweating, now. He was growing tired, and he knew it. He wouldn't be able to last for much longer.

'Ed,' the voice was back,'Here's what little strength I have. It's not much, but it'll help.'

Suddenly, Ed felt a surge in his energy reserve. He was getting stronger. His eyelids didn't feel as heavy anymore!

"Yes!" he hissed.

Using his new strength, he pushed Yukio away, fiercely. The man was surprised by his raise in power. So surprised, that he didn't make a move to stop Ed from attacking. The younger boy swung the sword at Yukio, and in one swift motion severed his head from his neck.

The headless body quivered on the spot, before tumbling to the ground in a bloody heap. Ed dropped Al's arm, and fell to his knees, panting.

"Edward!" Al cried, picking Kaname's cold body up, and running to his fallen brother.

Ed looked up at the sound of clunking. He saw Al sprinting to him, but what caught his attention, was the girl in his brother's arms. Kaname.

Ed smiled bitterly, 'I did it, Kana. I beat him, for you.'

Al came to a stop beside Ed, and laid Kaname down, "Brother, are you alright?" he questioned.

Ed nodded, still looking at Kaname's still form, "Yeah. I'm okay."

Al, catching Ed's look, stood up and walked quietly away, leaving his brother and Kana's body alone.

Ed noticed Alphonse leaving and silently thanked him. He crawled slowly over to Kana. He looked down at her, she wasn't the same. Her skin was almost an ashy-grey, and her lips a pale purple.

Her lips… Ed removed the glove on his flesh hand, and traced her lips with his fingers. They were so soft. Ed bent forward and placed a kiss on the brunette's forehead. Pulling away, he felt something on his cheek. Putting his hand up, he felt dampness. He was crying.

"Oh, Kaname," he mumbled, stroking her cheek, He felt another tear slip down the side of his face, and he saw it fall onto Kaname's forehead.

Edward shook his head, 'I really wish you were here. I'd tell you everything.'

Unbeknownst to him, Kaname's hand twitched…
