Dedication: Laziness and yet another natural disaster keeping me out of school! Go AMERICA!
AN:/: Needs a lot of work, I know. R&R (even if to flame coz they make me force myself to see what is wrong) and tell me if I need to completely nuke this chapter. Thanks for putting up with me!
The sun and the new moon would be forced to see who would be the first to claim the others life for taking that which was most precious to them.
Roy groaned as he plastered himself against the ground to avoid the blazing lights flaring just above his head. The heat of the flames and close lightning tore at his eyes, but he couldn't force himself to look away from the changing form of his subordinate.
Golden hair splayed against non-existent wind as his skin slowly shifted from gold to silver—skin matching that of the Other. Ed's trademarked jacket lay haphazardly on the ground as he stood between the group and the demon. "Dammit Roy, what the fuck took you so long?"
Roy grimaced at the harsh timbre of the boy's voice. What the hell was going on in this place? "Got side-tracked by a pretty little skirt." He ignored Ed's inhuman snarl. "What the fuck are you?"
Despite being behind his back, Roy could see the smirk playing at the corners of Ed's lips. "The same as him. A monster meant to destroy our world."
Then he lunged.
Anything he'd ever seen before paled before the scene unfolding before him. The grating screams of the two...he didn't know what to call them...went untranslated as they rushed to meet only to fly away by the repulsion of connecting lightning. Moments slowed to near stand-stills. Neither could be seen from one instant to the next, only the wind created by their motions gave it away that they were still there.
Grand flashes of blue electricity changed the scent of the air, but Roy did not move away and out to the treeline where the others hid. He'd meant it when he'd told them he would be the one to bring the brat back.
No if only he knew what said brat was...
Instantly, the wind died to nothing as the sky cleared. Standing on a knell a few hundred feet away, Ed held the decapitated head of the beast he'd apparently bested. The changes to his skin melted away leaving only the visage he was born with.
Roy pushed himself to his feet. "Ready to go home?"
He hadn't expected the fist to his gut.
"What the fuck were you doing by coming here?" Ed's shoulders shook as he stared into Roy's coal-like eyes.
"Rescuing you."
