Chapter 7 up! Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Ed sat quietly on his throne, trying to think of a plan to escape. He looked left and right. It seemed that they were ontop of a cliff with bridges on either side of the cliff. One woman came up to him and put a neclace around his neck and gave him a human toe. "T-thank you..." he said then the woman walked away. He gaged and threw the toe behind his shoulder.

Meanwhile...

Al, Roy, Winry, and Izumi were placed inside a round cage hanging off of the cliff.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! GET ME DOWN! I HATE HEIGHTS!!!" Winry shrieked.

Izumi looked above her. "IF YOU KEEP SHAKING THE CAGE WE WON'T LIVE THROUGH THIS!!" she said, seeing the rope was a bit weak.

Al blinked. "Teacher? When did you get here?"

"Good question. I was going to ask you guys the same thing." Izumi said, a little annoyed. "We have to find a way out of her and save Ed."

Roy snorted. "Why? He's their god, isen't he? It dosen't look like he needs help."

Izumi shook her head. "No, you don't understand. When the drums stop, they're gonna kill him. They think he's trapped in a human body."

Al's eyes grew wide. "THEN WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM!! BROOOOOOOOTHEEER!!!!"

"QUITE SHAKING THE CAGE YOU IDIOT!!!!" Izumi yelled, wacking him in the head.

Roy looked over his shoulder, not moving a muscel. He didn't want to admit that he was extremly terrified of hights and tried his best not to scream like a girl. "H-hey look! There are two more cages over there!" Roy said, pointing to two other cages that were hanging a little distance away.

Winry looked where Roy was pointing. "Hey yeah. Look what they're doing too! They must be crazy!" she said, seeing the cages swing back and forth, the people inside were trying to grab onto the vines at the side of the cliff.

Izumi punched her fist into her other hand. "We're gonna do that too!"

Al, Roy, and Winry all looked at her shocked. "WHAT!!!!?" they all yelled at once.

"Do you wanna save Ed or not?" she asked.

Roy and Winry gulped. "B-but...but! But I thought you said not to shake the cage!!!" Roy said trembling.

"We're not going to shake the cage! We're going to swing it---STOP SHAKING THE CAGE!!!" Izumi yelled at Roy for trembling so much.

Al took a deep breath. "Ok! Let's do it!"

Meanwhile...

Ed still sat slumped in his throne. He heard drums in the distance as well. I wonder if someone else was captured. he thought to himself. He looked up and saw the tribe gathering wood to make a fire. Just then he had an idea and he grinned. "No! Wait! I need more wood! Want big fire!!! I'm chief! Want big fire!!" he said getting up and throwing his hands up in the air when he said the word "big." He looked at the two men behind him and pointed tword the fire place. "Go! More wood!" he said and the two men rushed past him to help. Ed then made a run for it when no one was looking. "Heh heh heh heh heh! I'm a genius!" he laughed and ran across the bridge.

Meanwhile...

Al, Roy, Izumi, and Winry were swinging the cage back and forth, trying to grab the vines on the side of the cliff. All of them were yelling except for Roy who was screaming.

Winry reached out and finally got hold of a vine. "Got it!!" she yelled happily.

Al took a better look at the cage they were in and frooze. "B-bones..."

Izumi and Roy grabed a vine and started to climb then found they had diffuculty climbing. All three of the glared at Al who was in shock at what the cage was made of. "AL!!!" they all yelled.

"Ah! Sorry!" Al said and grabed a vine as well.

Meanwhile...

Ed ran into another small part of a village that seemed deserted at the moment. "Escape! Escape! I need an escape!" he said and ran into one of the tents when he crashed into a man. "Ouch...Oh crap! Busted!" he said then looked up at who he bumped into. The man didn't look at all like one of the villagers. He wore raggy clothing with rings on his fingers and beads in his long dark brownish hair. To Ed, he looked like a Pirate. His face was painted the same way as Ed's and he wore a feather crown as well.

"Bugger, bugger, bugger!" the man cried, thinking he was caught by the tribe as well. He looked up at Ed and realized he wasen't a villager. "Oh...my apologies. You wouldn't happen to be one of 'em triby people, would you?"

Ed blinked. "Uh...no. They're actually holding me hostage. They think I'm a god."

The man looked at him surprised and got up. "Ah, I see...Well then you and I are in the same situation, mate." he said then picked up some rope that he had before but droped it when Ed crashed into him.

Ed sighed in relief. "Well at least I didn't get caught. Maybe we can work together?" Ed asked.

The man looked at him akwardly. "Heh...I doubt it." he said and started to leave.

Ed blinked. "Why not? After all, we are in the same situation. Right?"

The man stopped and bent down to look Ed in the eyes. "You have a point there mate. Well, olrigh'. Can't argue with you there, mate. We better hurry befor 'em triby people find us!"

Ed nodded. "I'm Edward Elric."

The man gave a slight bow. "Captain Jack Sparrow." he said then turned on his heels and started to head out. Before he walked completely outside, he grabbed a small silver can that said Paprika on it, then he walked outside.

Ed followed him out but bumped into him when he got outside.

"Oh bugger!" said Jack, looking straight ahead of him.

Ed rubbed his nose and walked next to Jack. He frooze in place when he saw the villagers standing before them.

Jack took the paprika and started to sprinkle some under his armpits, then he poured the rest on Ed. "Little seasoning." he said then smelled the air as if he was cooking.

Ed sneezed which made a dust cloud of paprika appeare.

Jack looked from Ed to the tribe and smiled nervously.

Ed and Jack were now hanging on seperate poles, faceing the ground while their backs and their feet were tied to the pole. The villagers placed them over the fire place.

Ed scowled.

"Well done!" Jack said sarcastically.

Ed just hung there helplessly. "How did I get into this mess?" he said to himself and tried to find a way out of this one.
