The Invisibility of Edward Elric II: Return of Sezzen
Chapter Three – The New Mission: The Flash of Old Memories?
Ed rolled over on his back and looked up at the ceiling with his heavy eyes. For once he actually slept like a baby. No bad dreams. No disturbances. Just sleep. He rose up and scratched his wild golden hair.
He could hear Al in the other room on the phone. He was probably talking to Colonel Idiot.
"….Well Hawkeye came by last night and told me…"
Ed jerked. The Lieutenant came by last night?! While he was sleeping?! How embarrassing. He wiped his eyes and slowly dragged into the living room making sure that Al didn't notice he was awake, "Well he isn't going to be happy."
That was when he poked around the corner, "Not going to be happy about what?" he asked casually crossing his arms. Alphonse jerked back almost completely dropping the phone.
"Brother! You startled me!" he sighed, "I'm on the phone with the Colonel."
"Hey, Alphonse." The Colonel spoke on the other line "Just tell him to come straight to the office this morning. We need to get started on this mission."
"Ok, We'll be right there Colonel. Bye." Alphonse hung up the phone and turned to his displeased brother.
"I…um…" he paused.
"What was Hawkeye doing over here last night?" Ed asked.
"She was giving us a mission;" Alphonse decided that it was best if he told him all together "It's pretty important. There's something wrong with the Cliff back in Ronen's Forest outside of Central.
"The c-cliff?" Ed gulped nervously.
Al nodded, "And that's not all. You're not going to be too happy with this but…"
~ Central Headquarters Colonel Mustang's Office ~
"WHAT?!" Edward screamed throwing himself over Mustang's desk. "Like hell you will! I don't want you coming with us! I don't need a damn baby sitter!" Ed was furious. His face was red and his blood as boiling. His Auto-mail and skin were hot to the touch.
Ed had just received the news that Mustang would be joining them on their mission to Killicone Forest and back to the cliff.
"It's an order, not just my order but from the higher ups as well. I can't allow you to go by yourself if Sezzen is still alive. He might try to kill you again."
Ed slumped in his seat and grumbled, "Fine, let's just get this over with. When do we leave? Tonight? Tomorrow?"
"Now actually," Mustang rose out of his seat and slipped on his and signaled Alphonse to head out of the room.
"The sooner we get there the sooner we can find out what this green array is and be done with this situation. I don't know if you've caught on but I don't like babysitting kids either."
"Kids?" Edward growled. His body quickly began shaking.
"I mean young adults." He teased.
Edward spat on the ground, "Oh please! Let's just go already."
~ Killicone Forest: Cliff ~
Edward stepped into the evening air of the forest. It had seemed like forever since they had been here. He could hear the river in the distance, the one that he fell in and practically died in. He trembled lightly of just the thought of falling back in.
"Brother, are you alright?" Al asked.
"Fine. Let's go." He said this short and quick. Like he was ready to leave, even though he had just stepped out of the car.
"(Meyu, I wonder how she's doing. She was always confusing me. Saying that we might not see each other ever again but yet maybe we would. I wonder if she's ok, learning that her brother killed her mother and father.)"
Colonel Mustang stepped ahead of them, "Fullmetal, if you want to you can wait in the car."
Edward shot an evil glare at him, he was too angry to say anything to him so he just walked ahead of him and headed into the forest. But it wasn't too long until he smelt something in the air.
All around Edward, there was a flash of green. Voices began screaming at him. But Edward stood his ground. The Colonel and Alphonse had suddenly disappeared.
My name...? It's...Ed. E-E-Edven!
I called you Ed without your permission last night. I'm sorry.
Scar didn't kill them...I did.
Have a nice death...Edward Elric.
Edward! Open your eyes!
Edward opened his eyes after hearing a familiar voice. It wasn't her. It was Alphonse who was looking down at him. Beside him was the Colonel. "You just spaced out of it and stopped walking! Can you handle all of this?!" Al asked shaking him a little.
Edward gasped and looked up, seeing the green array move down on them even more. Then he heard fizzling and crackling noises. Small sparks hovered above their heads.
"Alchemy?!" Ed yelled.
"Move!" Edward screamed clapping his hands, before anything else could be done the air above them exploded. The Colonel and Alphonse went into shock, but Edward had been fully prepared. He had covered them with a wall made of grass and dirt. Because of his quick thinking, no one was seriously hurt.
"W-what…was that the green array?" Mustang yelled rising off the ground.
"I saw it earlier…I knew something was about to happen. I could sense it. Listen, did any of you hear those voices just now?" he asked.
Al shook his head, Mustang did as well.
"Then, I wonder what that was." He sighed.
"We need to keep going. There might be something happening at the cliff. Can you handle it brother?" Al asked.
Ed just nodded, and with that the three of them headed deeper into the forest. Not knowing that they were bring followed.
