Alchemy and Lightsabers

Chapter 4

Last Time:

"Have a good trip Fullmetal. I expect you to have that report done by the time that you get back. Luke gave us a transmitter so that we can talk to you. It would be best if you would call us. Don't get yourself hurt… that would just mean that I would have to do more paperwork."

"Thanks a lot Colonel Sarcasm. Take care of Al okay?" Mustang nodded at Ed's request and walked off the ship telling Luke good-bye and good luck. "Hey Al. Take care of yourself okay?"

"You too, brother. I'll do research while your gone, and make sure to tell me if you find anything!" Al said giving his brother a bone-crushing hug. "Good luck, Luke. I hope you are able to rescue your friend." Al said shaking Luke's hand and walking down the ramp to get outside. Ed waved at him one last time as the ramp closed.

Ed sighed looking up at the ceiling of the Millennium Falcon. They had been traveling to Tattooine for the past two days. They would have gotten there that day, except for, once again according to Luke, the hyperdrive was broken.

Luke walked into the room at that moment and Ed sat up making a place for Luke to sit.

"How's it going Ed?" Ed looked over at him, eyebrow raised.

"It was interesting for the first few hours, but it gets dull very fast. How can you stand space travel?" Luke smiled.

"You get used to it after a while. We should be there in twelve hours if we don't run into any traffic blocks, mainly the empire." Ed nodded.

"How are we going to find Han? Do you know where were going?" Luke nodded.

"I grew up on Tattooine. It shouldn't be too hard to find Jabba the Hutt either." Ed closed his eyes for a moment.

"What will I need to do?" Luke looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I guess the question would be: what can you do?" Ed smiled.

"I'm an alchemist, so basically anything that you need made, with the proper materials I can make it." Luke blinked.

"I didn't know alchemy was that powerful. That could come in handy in a tough spot. There are two questions I need to ask though: Can you shoot a blaster and can you block a shot?" Ed bit his lip. Of course he could block a shot, but could he trust these people with the knowledge of his automail? Luke was looking at him expectantly, and Ed made up his mind.

"If a blaster's anything like a gun, then yes I can shoot it. As for blocking, you have no need to worry about that, my arm works great."

"You can't do that! You could lose your arm!" Ed smiled and pulled up his sleeve. Luke looked at the automail and grinned.

"I guess you could block with that arm. Odd, I've lost my right arm too." This took Ed off guard. Just as he opened his mouth to ask how, the ship lurched foreword and Ed fell down. Lando came over the speaker.

"Sorry about that, we finally got the hyperdrive to work. We'll be at Tattooine in two hours."

A/N: It's about time that I updated this story. My brother quit so I decided to finish it for him.
