An Interesting Year:
Chapter 7:
Ed knew that he had to move fast or risk getting his head cut off. In less than a second Ed threw up his right arm to block Wrath's attack. It was soon a battle of wills. Both Ed and Wrath were locked in a contest to see who would weaken first. The class watched with bated breath, hoping beyond all hopes that Ed would come out on top, even though it looked like Wrath would knock Ed back. Suddenly Ed and Wrath both jumped back and Ed clapped his hands then hit the floor…
Nothing happened.
"What did you do?" Wrath asked with a nasty snarl. Ed smiled.
"I sent Mustang a message, he'll be here shortly." Ed's smile grew wider. "You're trapped." Wrath looked very mad, in fact you could almost see the smoke rise from his head.
"It doesn't matter! I'll still get your other arm and leg as my own!" Wrath yelled starting to run towards Ed, aiming at the top of his left arm.
"That's what you think!" Ed said, clapping his hands and touching the ground and causing a huge spike to come out of the ground right at Wrath's feet.
The scene seemed to go in slow motion as Wrath clapped his hands and separated his hand from the metal making a small, sharp dagger, which he threw at Ed's unprotected left shoulder. Ed knew that there was no way he could move out of the way of the dagger due to the transmutation. The only thing that the class could do was watch with horror as Wrath was stabbed through the middle of his stomach. He let out and cry as blood gushed from the wound. A second later the dagger went deep into Ed's left shoulder, causing his coat to grow wet and dark with blood.
Ed stood, not making a sound, and only wincing slightly when he pulled the dagger out. He stared at it for a minute before throwing it aside with distaste. Ed slowly walked over to Wrath, who was at the bottom of the nearly ten foot long spike.
"Ed…are you okay?" Asked a very scared Hermione. Ed looked up with a small smile.
"Of course I'm okay. Something this small couldn't hurt me much, and Wrath knew that." Ed said kicking Wrath. "All we have to do now is wait until Mustang gets here to decide what we should do with him."
At that precise moment Mustang ran into the room with Hawkeye and Winry close behind. After seeing Wrath on the spike and Ed's blood she fell from the floor, close to the bloody dagger. Mustang showed no emotion as he surveyed the scene, and then walked over to Wrath followed closely by Hawkeye.
"So this is Wrath," Mustang said examining his face. "I regret that I missed this battle. From the looks on the student's faces it was very interesting. You'll have to give me the full commentary later. Until then I think that I will take Wrath to my office and find a way to send him to the Fuhrer." Ed nodded to Mustang before clapping his hands and making the spike disappear, and causing Wrath to hit the floor. Mustang picked Wrath up and started to walk to the door.
"Miss Rockbell," Winry looked up to Mustang. "You might want to bandage Fullmetal before he bleeds to death." Mustang pulled out a small military first aid kit and threw it to Winry who caught it. "Edward," Ed looked up to Mustang who had started to walk out the door. "I would like to meet you along with Mr.'s Potter and Weasley and Miss Granger during your next free period. I'll be in Dumbledore's office." Ed saluted as Mustang walked out of the room.
"Ed…sit down. Let me bandage your arm." Winry said walking over to Ed and making him sit down and telling him to take off his coat.
"Winry…" Ed started as he pulled off his coat and tank top. "I'm fine, I promise!" He ignored the stares from the class who were intrigued by Ed's arm, not to mention his cut and many scars from working in the military and the automail surgery. Winry started to clean Ed's shoulder, tears coming to her eyes.
Ed's eyes grew soft as he picked up her chin with his automail arm, a small smile graced his lips. "I promised that I wouldn't make you cry anymore unless they were tears of joy." Winry looked up at Ed and gave him a soft smile.
"Hold still and let me finish your bandaging," Winry said as Ed relaxed more and allowed Winry to gingerly finish his bandaging, barely wincing when she tightened the bandage. When she was done she stood up and handed Ed his shirt and coat. "Sorry Ed, but I think that they're ruined. Ed looked the clothes over.
"Not quiet," Ed said once again clapping his hands and then touching his coat and then shirt. The bloodstain disappeared in a flash of blue light. Ed picked up and pulled on his coat and tank top with a smile.
"So that was a Homunculi," Snape said, speaking for the first time in awhile. Ed looked over and nodded.
"That one was Wrath. Right now there are six. I recently took out Greed." Ed told Snape, looking right in the eye. "From what I know right now there's not really a way to get rid of Wrath as none of his human remains are left." Winry had a fearful look on her face as if wondering how Ed took care of Greed.
"Why's your arm made of metal?" Sneered Malfoy, finally breaking the silence. Ed glared at him with fire in his eyes.
"Because I lost my real one in the Eastern Rebellion," Ed told Malfoy.
"Probably because you suck at dueling," Malfoy told Ed with an evil smirk on his face. He didn't even have a chance to react before Ed had his blade under Malfoy's nose.
"Still think so?" Ed asked as Malfoy's expression went to pure terror.
"I-I was j-just joking!" Malfoy said, his voice shaking noticeably. Ed almost laughed, but after much effort he kept a straight face.
"You're lucky can't hurt you with a clear conscious, or- well, I'll just let you decide how you would look." Ed told Malfoy in a harsh whisper, he removed his blade and walked away. He heard a small snicker.
His temper through the roof, Ed turned around and kneed Malfoy in the stomach with his right leg. Malfoy fell to the floor, coughing and sputtering. He looked up at Ed with a sneer on his face Ed just smiled.
"Next time it will be my left leg." He walked away before Malfoy could talk again. With a sheepish look on his face, Ed grinned at Winry. "Can you fix my automail later? I think I might have…uh…knocked out the balance…a little." Winry's face grew dark, and then she looked up, the wrench nowhere in sight. Ed gave a worried chuckle; this new Winry was scarier than the one who threw wrenches. Winry sighed.
"Let me see your wrist," Now speechless, Ed walked over and pulled up his sleeve. Winry looked over his wrist, and then weighed it in her hands. "It's just jammed. At least I know it wasn't your fault this time."
"So…no wrench?"
"No wrench." Ed smiled bigger. "I'll just take it off on tomorrow and fix it." Ed sobered up fast.
"You'll be on the train back to Amestris tomorrow. It's not safe for you here with the Homunculus around. No auguring now, wait until later. You can fix my automail tonight." Winry nodded, her gaze murderous. Ed knew that he would pay for this one later.
The bell cut off their conversation. Ed walked over to Winry and helped her off her chair. They slowly started to walk to Dumbledore's office with Harry, Ron, and Hermione close behind.
