Help From the Most Unlikely Source

Ed made his way down to the village still grinning at the hell he had just thrown Sokka into. In Ed's mind he had it coming the only good thing was Sokka wasn't getting this particular lesson from his teacher. The boy would probably have ended up in a hospital somewhere full of broken bones for his comments.

Ed arrived at the village only to realize he didn't have a clue where to go look for Sokka's sister. O well probably with Aang somewhere enjoying themselves. He continued to look around hoping to find the two nearby when he spotted the chimera he had seen earlier with Aang on it and a bunch of girls with him and Sokka's sister nearby talking to him.

Ed walks over but warily, he had dealt with too many chimeras to let his guard down next to one. He was thankful the thing wasn't a human chimera or he would have seriously wondered if Truth was just pulling his leg for the sheer enjoyment he seemed to find in making his life a living hell. As Ed neared closer the chimera took off into the air an started to fly away again, it wasn't the first time he had seen it do that but he still wondered how it could fly considering its weight.

"Err he's going to get himself hurt with his stupid stunts one of these days thinking I'm jealous that he's hanging out with other girls ha." Ed heard her mutter confirming his theory on her and Aang's relationship.

"You know trying to convince yourself is a lot harder when it's an obvious lie you know that right."

Ed watched her turn around in surprise then her face went redder than a tomato at his comment and almost making him laugh as she stuttered. "O Ed I didn't see you there what are you doing here?" He grinned at how she was trying and failing to cover up her blush thanks to his comment.

"Just wanted to tell you you're brothers up with the Kyoshi Warriors I don't know when he'll be back but I figured you'd want to know." She just stared at him blankly when he finished.

Turning around Ed headed for the small shelter he had made near the edge of the woods at settled for a nap. He would train later after the girls had beaten Sokka to a pulp. Normally he would have watched but for some reason he just felt tired and decided a nap would nice for the moment.

Ed found himself in front of the gate again with Truth standing before him a smug grin on his face as he looked at him.

"The hell Truth what are you doing here I didn't do anything to call the gate so what the hell is going on." Ed yelled at Truth as he felt unease settle in his stomach.

"O no no no Al-chem-ist I'm not here for payment I just wanted to see how your settling in." the sickening sweet innocent tone Truth was using only made Ed's unease grow as the god like being stared at him.

"I'm fine what about you enjoying your sick show." Truth only smiled wider at him sending shivers down Ed's spine as he stayed silent for a while.

"Now now Al-chem-ist is that anyway to talk to an old friend." The mocking voice Truth was using was getting on Ed's nerves as he waited for him to get to whatever point he was getting to.

"Hump fine lets skip the pleasantries and get to the point of my visit I sent you here Ed because this world is on the brink of war on a scale you haven't fought yet but are more than capable to deal with and I want so see what you are going to do with your new home,"

Truth paused as he looked at Ed before continuing, "In order for you to gain a better understanding of this new world I set it up so that you would meet its so called guardian the Avatar from here it's up to you on what you do bye." And in a flash Ed woke up to the smell of smoke in the air coming from the village.

Shooting out of his bed Ed ran to the village which was up is flames and he could see several people in spiky red armor riding on chimeras that looked to be a cross between a rhino and a lizard. Without thinking Ed chapped his hands and pressed them to the ground causing several hands to shoot up and grab the men in red armor along with their Chimeras. Most of them were struggling to break loose but a few were able to avoid the hands and focused their attention on him.

Ed was already moving toward them having already transmuted his arm into his blade and engaged them in melee. Most of the red clad men wielded long spears so he simply cut the heads of while giving them a good kick or punch while others had swords and tried to cut at him. With a swing of his blade Ed disarmed two of his attackers and kicked their legs out from under them. When they were all on the ground Ed transmuted his blade back into his arm then turned all the men's armor into metal strait jackets that extended to their legs as well.

Finished Ed ran down further into the village when one of the red armored men nearly took his head off with a fireball. Ed was shocked to see someone using flame alchemy especially when Mustang said he was the only alchemist left who knew how to preform it before he remembered he wasn't back home anymore. Still Ed grinned at the thought of trying his new trick that dealt with fire. Clapping his hands together and taking a deep breath Ed forced the oxygen atoms in the air to leave the area denying the fires their much needed fuel to burn with and go out. The other man was also having trouble as well as Ed saw him shoot his fist forward but nothing happened much to the man's great surprise. Moving fast Ed gave him a good hit on the head to knock him out but didn't leave any lasting damage.

And that was what went on as Ed ran through the village using his alchemy to take down the attackers when he saw Aang along with Sokka's sister and one of the Kyoshi warriors on the giant chimeras back near not too far from him and rushed over to catch up.

"Hay wait up!" Ed yelled as he jumped onto the chimera's tail and quickly crawled into the saddle like thing on its back.

"What are you doing here Ed aren't you going to help the village?" Sokka's sister asked as he sat down with a white knuckled grip on the saddle when the chimera started to fly away.

"I was helping but I made a deal with Suki that I would leave at the first opportunity and you guys were leaving not to mention there wasn't much I could do short of fighting the whole attacking force." Ed stretched the truth a bit, he could have probably taken on an army three times this size on his own but he really didn't want to stay on the island and although he hated it he decided to go with them because Truth pretty much told him to.

"I only wish there was more we could do for them." Ed heard Aang sigh and couldn't help but agree with him.

Then to his great astonishment the Kyoshi warrior turned out to be Sokka when he said, "Were doing the best we can by leaving aren't we Katara?" Ed saw her nod to her brother but then Aang suddenly jumped into the water.

"What the hell is he thinking?!" Ed shouted as the others yelled for Aang to come back but he soon disappeared from sight. Moments later Aang came back into sight on top of Unagi and made the thing spray water over the town and put out the fires. Ed would have marveled at the sight if he wasn't holding on for dear life when the chimera went into a dive at Aang who jumped back onto its head and they leveled out again and headed out to sea.

Muttering the periodic table to himself in order to calm down Ed looked up to see they were all fine and decided he had had enough for one day and promptly fell asleep.
