Thank you for all who reviewed! You've inspired me to keep updating soon! So here's the next chapter hope you like it!
Ed began running towards the smoke that was clearing, still calling out his brother's name, desperately listening for his Al's response.
"Wait!" Matsumoto yelled, using her flash step to get in front of Ed, blocking Ed from going any further. Ed stopped and darkly glared at Matsumoto.
"Get your ass out of my way right now lady or else!" Ed threatened, raising his auto mail arm with his blade still showing. Just then more black-red colored balls of energy began shooting out of the holes as well.
"They're coming from all of them!" Uryu exclaimed. Faster than anyone could see, Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime, and Chad all took out their weapons.
Ichigo began slicing the balls of energy effortlessly in two with his sword, Uryu used his Quincy powers to call forth his bow and began shooting the energy coming at him. With each impact the energy disintegrated immediately. Chad gather the reiatsu around him and began unleashing powerful attacks from his fists. Orihime called forth her powers and created a shield to protect herself.
Matsumoto jumped in front of Ed to protect him. "God damn it!" Matsumoto yelled in frustration.
Ed becoming frustrated as well, ran from Matsumoto. "What are you doing, Ed?" Matsumoto asked in confusion. Matsumoto tried to do a flash step to get to Ed but was hit by the balls of energy. Ed stopped and turned around quickly. It appeared all the balls of energy began to be directed at Matsumoto.
"Rangiku!" Ichigo yelled. Without thinking, Ed sprinted back toward Matsumoto.
"No!" Ed yelled, reaching for Matsumoto. It was too late. Ed wasn't fast enough and the balls of energy hit Matsumoto. The impact was so great the force of the blow knocked Ed back. It seemed that all the balls of energy seized at that moment.
"Waagh!" Ed exclaimed as he flew back. He suddenly hit something hard before he hit the ground. Ed looked up at what he had just hit in a daze. Ed's eyes widen.
"A...Al!"
"Are you hurt brother?" Al asked calmly. Ed nodded, still in shock to see his brother. Not even a scratch was on him. "It was thanks to Toshiro that I'm alright," Al said already knowing his brother's thoughts.
"Toshiro? But how-"
"I used my flash step to reach him before that Cero hit him." Toshiro said. Ed whipped his head in the direction he heard Toshiro's voice. It came from the patch of smoke that was clearing. Toshiro emerged from the smoke with Matsumoto under his arm protectively.
"Captain..." Matsumoto uttered. "I'm sorry."
Toshiro just looked at Matsumoto. He gently laid her down on the ground and turned back to Ed, his gaze still resembling that of ice.
"Cero?" Al thought aloud.
"What? How can you not know about Cero? Do you two even know what's happening here?" Ichigo asked loudly.
"We don't know any of this! What the hell is going on!" Ed demanded to know. Suddenly, the area they were in became engulfed with a menacing laughter. Every one of them looked around to find the source. Again the same pressure came back causing the same result as the last time.
"What is the spiritual pressure?" Orihime asked as she was forced to almost kneel again. Out of three of the holes, three figures emerged. The closer they got, the greater the pressure got on everyone. Everyone watched as they landed soundlessly on the ground. The pressure suddenly stopped. Ed looked at Toshiro.
'His eyes...'
Ed thought. 'They don't look like they used to... They look... He looks... Scared?' Ed turned to look at the rest of them.
Their facial expressions were almost as bad if not the same as Toshiro's expression. Ed heard one of them laughing again. He glared at him.
"Is this what you sensed Ulquirra eh?" the one who was laughing asked. Ed looked at them and began visually studying them. They resembled both Toshiro, Ichigo and Matsumoto but were slightly different. They had no black kimono. All they wore was a white uniform with some weird shaped object on their faces. The one who was laughing had blue hair and with blue eyes to match, a weird object near his chin. His eyes looked blood thirsty.
"Yes this what I have sensed." said another one. This one had very pale skin with green eyes and black hair with the object in his hair. He had a small green streak that ran down his face from his eyes.
"Tch! These bunch of weaklings," The last one complained. "Come on Ulquirra they aren't worth our time!" The final one exclaimed. This one had dirty blond hair with red eyes, along with object around their mouth.
"Hmm.." The pale one said, staring at Al and Ed. Ed looked back in his eyes, confused.
'Just who, or what are these things?'
Ed thought.
Ichigo held out his sword and pointed at the pale one. Everyone's attention turned to him. "Alright," Ichigo began. "Just who the hell are you and what is your business here?"
"Humph!" the one with blue hair uttered. "I told you Ichigo that if we ever met again, you'd be dead!" Ichigo froze, his face turned to fear in realization. "Come now you must remember the man who almost killed you, Grimmjowe Jaegerjaquez!"
"My name is Ulquiorra Cifer," the pale one said, his stare still fixed on Ed.
"The name's Rarnasumaru pleased to meet ya!" the one with red eyes exclaimed, licking his lips.
"Ah, shut up, Rarna," Grimmjowe uttered, cleaning out his ear with his index finger. He didn't seem to have the slightest interest in anything anymore.
"I'm curious about you two," Ulquirra said, gazing at Ed.
Ed sneered. "I'm the Fullmetal alchemist Edward Elric," Ed said now glaring at Ulquiorra. 'This guy have a staring problem or something?'
"I'm his younger brother Alphonse Elric," Al added politely.
"Wha?" Grimmjowe said, now looking over at the Elrics. "You're the younger brother?"
Ed's temper started to rise. Al put his hands up, signaling for Grimmjowe to stop. "Please sir, don't say anymore."
Grimmjowe started laughing once more. "You think I'm gonna listen to a tin can like you?"
"Tin can?" Al asked, his voice trembling with hurt.
"Hey, leave him alone he can't help it!" Ed demanded, protecting Al.
"Oh and like I'm gonna take orders from a pipsqueak like you!"
"PIPSQUEAK? WHO YOU CALLING A PIPSQUEAK-MIDGET!" Ed exclaimed, now running at Grimmjowe with his auto mail arm. Ulquiorra stared with curiosity.
"Bring it on shorty!" Grimmjowe yelled, egging Edward on.
"Ahh!" Ed shouted running full speed at Grimmjowe. Grimmjowe braced himself for the attack, ready to counter whatever Ed was about to do. Suddenly, Toshiro appeared in front of Ed and pushed him back. Ed covered his chest with his arms and was pushed a couple feet back. "What the hell do you think you're doing Toshiro?"
"These are not beings that you want to mess with, Ed." Toshiro commanded, his gaze returning to ice. "Leave it to us shinigamis."
"Now who the hell do you think you are ordering me around like you're the boss of me?"
"Shut up and leave this to us!" Toshiro yelled back. This made Ed shocked. Toshiro and Ed began glaring at one another again.
"Toshiro look out!" Ichigo warned. Toshiro drew his sword and blocked the attack without turning around.
"Oh?" Rarna uttered. "Looks like you have some skill!"
Toshiro pushed Rarna away and faced him. Rarna was grinning wickedly, licking his lips. "Can I kill them Ulquiorra?"
Ulquirra closed his eyes for a brief moment. "Most of them," Ulquiorra slowly opened his eyes. "Are trash."
Grimmjowe snorted. "So who shall I kill first? Should I go for the orange headed shinigami or the little shorty?" Grimmjowe asked, smirking at Ed.
"Why you..." Ed said, his anger growing by the second. Rarna made the first move. He drew out a weapon of what appeared to be a scythe and swung it at Toshiro. Toshiro began releasing some of his spiritual pressure as Rarna's weapon clashed with his sword.
"Sit upon the heavens," Toshiro chanted. "Hyorinmaru!" Suddenly Rarna's scythe and his arm began to become encased with ice.
"What the hell is that?" Ed asked astounded by Toshiro's abilities. Rarna snorted and broke out of Hyorinmaru's ice.
"Huh! Is that all you got kid?" Rarna questioned, gloating.
"Kid?" Toshiro asked. Being called a kid really sparked Toshiro's inner anger.
All of a sudden, Ed ran at Rarna. "Hiya!" Ed yelled, trying to hit Rarna in a vital area. Rarna easily blocked his attack.
"What's this?" Rarna asked. "An arm made of metal?"
Ed jumped back about a foot and swung his left leg up, trying to kick Rarna's face. "You dumbass!" Rarna yelled swinging his scythe at Ed's leg. Rarna's scythe made contact with Ed's 'shin.' "Gotcha! Say goodbye to your leg!" Rarna began pushing his scythe down on Ed's leg.
"I don't think so!" Ed exclaimed, kicking Rarna's scythe out of his hands. Ed threw his right arm back and formed his metal hand into a fist. "And here's the right arm!" Ed shouted, throwing his fist at Rarna's face. It made contact with his right cheek. Rarna's head snapped back and he stuttered a few steps back. Ed jumped up in the air, trying again to kick Rarna in the face. Suddenly, Ed was hit in the gut by a fist, making him fly backwards to where about Toshiro was.
"Brother!" Al exclaimed, running to his brother. Ed sat up coughing. Once he caught his breath he wiped the blood away from his mouth. Ed looked to see it was Grimmjowe that had punched him.
"Cheap shot," Ed said glaring at him.
"I gotta say kid," Grimmjowe said looking at Ed, sneering. "I've never seen anyone with metal limbs. Just what are you?"
Al reached his brother and helped him stand up. "I told you. I'm the Fullmetal alchemist!"
Grimmjowe sneer grew wider. "It should be interesting to fight something like you but you're probably just trash like Ulquiorra says you are!"
"Interesting," Ulquiorra began mumbling to himself. "His right arm and left leg are made of some kind of metal. Just what is an alchemist?"
Grimmjowe and Ed stared each other down, waiting for the other to make the first move.
Abruptly, Toshiro stepped in front of Ed. Grimmjowe stopped smiling. "This fight is between shinigamis and arrancars."
"Arrancar?" Ed and Al said simultaneously.
Grimmjowe began building up his spiritual pressure. "Listen kid you're not worth my time so get out of my way or I'll kill you with one blow!"
Toshiro began copying Grimmjowe and began building up his spiritual pressure. "You're gonna regret going up against a captain." Toshiro promised.
Just then, the room began to shake. Grimmjowe and Toshiro both stopped building up their spiritual pressure.
"What is this trickery!" Rarna demanded to know, assuming the shinigamis were the one behind the room shaking.
The room began shaking more violently as a black hole opened up in the center of the room. Ed stared at it good and hard. Realization dawned on him. "Al is that!"
"I think so brother!" Al yelled, clutching Ed. Red sparks began flying out of the black hole, almost hitting Toshiro, Ed, Al and Grimmjowe. The sparks turned into explosions.
"What is that?" Uryu asked, watching the explosions.
"Only one person could do that," Ed stated as the room stopped shaking but the explosions kept happening.
"Fullmetal!" A voice called from inside the hole.
"Brother is that-"
"Riza!" Ed exclaimed, seeing Riza's face come out of the hole. Her whole body emerged, in each hand she held her hand guns directed at the closest person to Ed and Al, Toshiro. Toshiro glared back at Riza. Another stream of red sparks flew past Riza. The red stream raced towards Toshiro. Toshiro used a flash step to get out of the way before it exploded once more. Al covered Ed protectively.
A man stepped out of the hole. "Mustang you idiot! You almost killed us!" Ed shouted at the man. Mustang smugly smiled.
"Good to see you too Fullmetal," Roy said looking around. "Who are your friends?" Roy questioned holding up his hand, getting ready to attack once more.
"Tch! None of them are my friends!"
"Brother..." Al complained.
"Come on you two, we're going now!" Riza commanded. Ed and Al began running over to Roy and Riza but were suddenly blocked by Ulquiorra. Ed and Al stopped.
"No one's going anywhere," Ulquiorra uttered gathering energy in his hand. The energy turned red and Ulquiorra shot it at Al and Ed. Al pushed Ed behind him, ready to stop this attack. Ichigo used his flash step and got in front of the attack. He sliced it in two effortlessly with his massive sword.
"You.." Al said.
"Get out of here right now!" Ichigo told Al and Ed. The Elrics stood and stared at Ichigo. "Like Toshiro said this is a fight between shinigamis and the Arrancar, this isn't your fight so just get out while you still can!"
The Elrics shook their heads and began to run towards Roy and Riza once more Ulquiorra shot another attack at them. Ichigo blocked it once more. Roy snapped his fingers and created an explosion. "Come on hurry while you still have cover!"
Ed and Al sprinted to where they heard Roy's voice. They jumped forward and landed in the hole. Riza and Roy quickly followed as they left the shinigamis behind to fight for their lives once more.
The three alchemist and Riza awoke on the floor of a familiar basement. "Ah you're all awake!" Armstrong said cheerfully. Everyone sat up and looked at him. "I'm glad you all came back so quickly I was beginning to wonder when you would all get back! Of course I could have kept that thing open for days!" Armstrong began to go on and on about how great his family was once more. Ed looked at Al.
"Alright Armstrong," Roy began. "That's enough bragging for one day don't you think?"
Armstrong stopped talking. Everyone's attention fell back to Ed and Al. "Fullmetal..?" Riza asked reaching out to touch Ed's shoulder. Ed appeared to not even notice Riza's hand.
"Brother?" Al asked. Ed just kept staring at him with an intense gaze. "Will we ever see then again?" Riza removed her hand and looked at Ed, waiting for his response.
Ed sighed then smiled. "Who knows Al but at least we're rid of them for a while..." Riza glanced over at Roy. His gaze was also on the Elrics.
'Looks like this is gonna be a long talk between these three,'
Riza thought to herself.
Ed's gazed shifted towards the ground. 'Right?'
That's the end of this chapter! Not sure if this was as good as the first but I'm trying! Don't worry I'll tell you this they will all meet again!
Oh and btw, Rarnasumaru (ra-r-na-sue-mar-u)/Rarna (same character Rar-na) is a character I created, he is not in bleach so he's not a real arrancar. Please review and share your thoughts thank you!
