LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! How's it going? Well, it's a new chapter and I hope you like it.
SunshineAndMoonlight: I'm glad you liked the end. I like it when there's some comedy to relieve tension.
Pirate Queen of the 21st Centry: I love the short rant as well, Ed isn't Ed without a short rant!
A Natsume Yuujinchou Lover: Hi! I'm glad you like my story and I agree, Ed is cool. I'd have to say my fav character in FMA would be a tie between Ed and Xiao Mei. Yes, I luv the panda. I'm not kidding! Xiao Mei is adorable. With Katekyo Hitman Reborn, I'd go with Tsuna or Lal Mirch. Tsuna because he's cute and a boss...literally. And Lal Mirch 'cause she's strong and badass!
Phantom Hitman 1412: Yep, it's a short rant. I think I might have Ed start clapping again for old time's sake, but I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping and praying Ed doesn't get experimented on by Verde... wait I just realized something. Verde kinda' reminds me of Shou Tucker in a way, except one's a baby and the other is... Tucker. I'm glad you're not mad about the choppiness.
333: Yep, Ed has a split personality. And about Byakuran, you'll just have to keep reading to find out!
Wolfsbane-Nin: YAY! I'm glad you think my fic is amazing! And I'm even more honored that you think it's one of the best! Yep, Ed's tempers still there. You can cure many things, but Ed's temper is not one of those things. I'm glad you liked Ed's flames. I wanted him to have some form of alchemy.
PoisonandSugar: Thanks for the review and I'm glad you like the story. And about Ed's age, there's a reason for that. Don't you worry.
~Previously~
Everyone sweat dropped at the scene except Ed who walked on, "So, what now?"
Everyone listened carefully as Irie explained about the trials and what's up ahead for them.
"You really think that, Sho-chan?"
"That voice!" Irie said, panic taking over, "Byakuran!"
Everyone looked as a hologram appeared in the middle of the ruined lab.
Edward looked on with bored eyes as everyone else panicked. Byakuran kept talking, apparently 'proving' he would win and what not. Ed continued to absentmindedly listen, hearing about how Byakuran was challenging them to a game of choice and even showing them the 'real' funeral wreaths which we hadn't heard of.
Ed's eyebrow twitched. How long had this guy been talking? The white-haired man's voice, not to mention the chuckle, were getting more annoying by the second, "Would you get on with it you egotistical bastard? We've kinda' got things to do!"
Everyone turned around, looking at Edward incredulously. Even Byakuran, Ed noticed. Ed smirked as Byakuran, for once, was silent.
"Oh?" Byakuran said, "And who might you-"
Byakuran stopped once more, looking at the blonde closely, "Oh," Byakuran said, an unusual hum in his voice, "And why is 'The Hero of the People' Edward Elric here? Shouldn't you be dead, or missing?"
Ed's eyes widened slightly, "W-what?"
"Hmmm, as I thought," Byakuran said, "Well bye, Tsunayoshi-kun, Sho-chan. How about you see a first hand example of teleportation."
"Wait a minute you bastard!" Edward ran to the hologram, "How do you know that name? Tell me dammit!"
A chuckle was Ed's only response as the hologram slowly disappeared, a bright white light taking its place. Everyone (besides the 'stoic' people) dropped to their knees as a violent tremor shook the base.
When the light faded, they looked up, only to see that the rest of the Merone base was gone.
"Wow, so the teleportation is this powerful," Tsuna said, "But why didn't we get teleported as well?"
"Well, the Vongola rings, when all together form a barrier in a way that protected you from the teleportation," Irie responded.
"You've certainly thought of everything, though," Reborn said.
Irie rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "We'll deal with all the stuff here, you should all go and rest for the upcoming battles."
Reborn nodded and the others slowly followed him back to the base.
Back at Vongola Base
Everyone walked around the base, thinking about what had happened, 'How did Byakuran know about that name? It died a long time ago... with all of my past.'
Ed, not paying attention to where he was going, ran into Tsuna and co., not even noticing the alarm going off.
They were both sprawled out on the floor, "Oh, Tsunayoshi-kun, sorry. Are you alright?"
"Watch where you're going!" Gokudera yelled at Edward.
After helping Tsuna up Ed finally realized the alarm was going off, "What's going on?"
"Oh, Giannini detected a ring not to far from here and we're going to check it out," Yamamoto said.
"I'll go too," Edward said, "Fresh air will help me think."
The rest of the group nodded and they resumed their journey to Tsuna's house where the signal first appeared.
They arrived at Tsuna's house and looked around, investigating the surroundings. They all turned to Tsuna as a message came over the communication device, "Juudaime, the signal disappeared."
They all recognized the voice of Giannini on the other end.
"I guess that means for now we can go back to the base and eat dinner!" Tsuna said happily, the others nodding.
They began to slowly walk down the streets and back to the Vongola Base. They were almost there when Ed stopped.
"Edward-sensei?" Tsuna asked, turning to face him, "What's wrong?"
"You guys go ahead," Ed said whilst walking in a different direction, "I'll just be out here for a little bit longer. I'm not to hungry anyway."
The others nodded, some reluctantly, but eventually went back on their way. Ed continued on his own path, walking down the winding trail through the woods he had just entered.
He sighed contentedly as he saw the sun reflecting off of a gentle river. Ed sat down on the bank, taking off his shoes and rolling up his pant legs so he could dip his feet into the water. He had gotten an insulating material for his automail that would keep the water out. He couldn't swim yet, but hopefully with more research, he could develop a light enough model for that purpose.
Ed smiled softly, relishing in the pleasure as the cool water lazily flowed past him. Ed looked to his side and saw a few pebbles. Without a second thought, he grabbed a few and looked back at the river. He flicked his wrist and sent a stone skidding over the waters edge, only for a while though.
"Not good enough," Ed muttered as he lifted up another stone. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on the water flow and flicked his wrist once more, sending the stone bouncing across the river for about half way.
Ed leaned back, hearing the faint crunch of the grass, and watched as the clouds floated lazily by, blocking some of the sun's rays causing a variety of light to be cast upon the land below.
Ed didn't know how long he had been there for, but he was alerted out of his utopia when a twig snapped. He shot up quickly and whirled around, seeing none other than Tsuna and some of his guardians.
"Oh, it's just you. What are you guys doing here?" Ed asked, returning to his prior position and dipping his feet into the water once more.
"Another ring signal appeared and it was around this area. Since you're here, did you see anything?" Tsuna explained.
"Ah, I'm afraid I didn't," Ed replied, "They might have been here, it could've been when I was concentrating or deep in thought. Whenever that happens, I forget the world around me."
"Oh, well, you should probably be getting back to the base now," Tsuna said, "Kyoko and Haru kept a plate prepared for you."
Ed smiled and lifted his feet out of the water, slowly standing up, "I'll just head back with you guys then."
A rustling sound was heard and Yamamoto quickly unsheathed his blade, slashing at the tree behind him. Everyone watched as a person slowly began to fall, unable to find a landing spot now that the tree was gone. The person was on a direct collision course with Tsuna. Ed winced slightly as the two basically head-butted each other, both crashing to the ground afterwords.
"B-Basil-kun?" Tsuna said in shock after he got a good look at the person's face.
"Ah, Sawada-dono!" Basil smiled, "Does this mean I'm finally at Vongola Base? Yes!"
Ed watched as the others conversed, picking up his shoes and slipping them on after he rolled down his pant legs once more.
Silently, he headed back to the base, hearing the others trailing slowly behind him.
Ed walked through the halls of the base. He had already eaten dinner and the others were just conversing now that he decided he would go back to his room and go to sleep a little bit earlier than usual.
He walked through the door and lied down on his bed, absentmindedly pulling out his travel-log out of a hidden pocket in the hoodie he was wearing.
He flipped the leather book to a random page and smiled slightly in nostalgia as memories flooded back to him, painting a serene picture in his head.
Ed flipped through the warn out pages, seeing just how much he had written in it. He frowned slightly as he realized he only had a couple pages left. He was still amazed though, over 400 years and his old journal was still going strong. Ed sighed again, he still couldn't believe how he lied about his age... at least it would make it seem a little bit more normal. He questioned why they still didn't figure it out considering how Giotto lived at least 400 years ago.
Ed looked up as he heard the door to the room open. In the doorway, he saw Tsuna, Haru, and Kyoko standing there.
"Hm, what do you need?" Ed asked, quickly putting away the book.
"Well, Reborn and the others are letting us have a day on the surface and almost everyone is coming with us and we were wondering if you would join us as well," Kyoko said.
"I'd be happy too," Edward said, "I love spending time out in the fresh air. There's nothing quite like it."
A blissful smile appeared on Ed's face.
They said good-bye and smiled at Ed before quietly leaving.
"You guys are lucky," Haru said, "You get a cool teacher while I get stuck with all the strict ones."
"I guess we are lucky," Kyoko said, "He is one of the nicest teachers I've had."
"Yeah," Tsuna said, "He was the only teacher that stood up for me when everybody else was laughing."
"I remember that!" Kyoko said, "On his first day and he didn't even know you that well."
"He's my favorite teacher," Tsuna said, "You should here the stories he tells, too! He makes them sound like they really happened."
"Oh, did he tell you a story once, Tsuna-san?" Haru asked.
"Yeah, Yamamoto and I had...tutoring with him and he told us about it," Tsuna replied.
"What were the stories about?" Kyoko asked.
"He always talked about two siblings, a suit of armor and a young military officer, going on these journeys to correct a mistake they had made," Tsuna said, "I feel like he never runs out of stories."
"Interesting, I'll have to ask him about it then," Haru said, "We all can!"
The other two nodded at the cheerful girl. They continued on their way through the base to return to the rest of their group.
Ed awoke the next day earlier than usual, his travel-log opened up and in his hand. He must of fallen asleep while reading it.
Sighing softly, he got out of bed. Lazily, he pulled out a black pair of jeans along with his usual combat boots. He put on a random t-shirt then pulled on his red hoodie with the white and gold accents. He looked in the mirror looking at his long hair that wasn't currently in his usual ponytail (He didn't do a braid as often anymore). He walked over and grabbed a rubber band before walking out of his room.
He walked down the halls, holding the rubber band in his mouth and lazily putting his hair into a braid. He decided against the ponytail and went with his trademark braid for old time's sake. As he walked into the kitchen, he was finishing up with tying the loose ends of the braid up. Eventually satisfied, he walked over to the stove. He looked up at the clock and realized he had gotten up a lot earlier than most people in the base do.
Without a word, he walked over to the fridge where they held the ingredients and pulled out the ones he would need. Placing the materials on the counter, he grabbed a plain white apron and threw it on. Turning back to the ingredients, he grabbed the pans he would need and turned on the stove to the appropriate temperature. He smiled to himself. Time to get cracking.
Tsuna and his guardians (Excluding Lambo and Chrome) walked down the hallways of the base, sniffing the air slightly.
"What smells good?" Yamamoto wondered aloud.
"Maybe Kyoko-chan and Haru already got started," Tsuna replied, mouth slightly watering at the scent that was growing stronger.
"Probably because the stupid cow was bothering them," Gokudera muttered darkly.
Their theories were disproved, however when they saw Kyoko, Haru, Lambo, and I-pin walking down the hallway, heading for the kitchen as well. Not to far behind them was who appeared to be Reborn, Giannini, Bianchi and Fuuta.
"Whose cooking?" Haru asked aloud, "Kyoko-chan and I just woke up."
Everyone looked at each other in wonder and looked at the door suspiciously, wondering who could be cooking. (They were too tired to realize that the only people missing were Chrome, Ed, and Basil) Their suspicions heightened when they heard someone humming from the other side of the door.
The group looked at each other once before stepping forward, the door opening automatically. Inside by the stove, they saw the person they never expected would be a cook. Edward Elric.
"Edward-sensei?" Tsuna asked disbelievingly.
Ed turned around, ceasing his cooking for the moment, "Ah, Tsunayoshi-kun, everyone, you're finally awake."
Ed smiled and turned back to his cooking. The groups eyes fell upon the table, an array of delicious looking food on the table.
"Wait," Giannini said, "We didn't have some of this meat and fish in storage. Where did you get it?"
"Well, since it was so early, I was able to go outside and I caught some of the stuff," Edward said, shrugging slightly as if it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Haven't you ever heard of a store?" Gokudera asked.
"It would've been a waste of money," Edward responded, placing the contents of the pan into a bowl, "Why buy what you can get yourself."
"Where did you learn to catch things or cook even?"
"Oh, when I was little, my teacher, to toughen my brother and I up and help us understand basic principles, dropped us off on an island with nothing but a knife and left us there for a month to fend for ourselves. We had to learn to catch things to survive," Ed replied.
Tsuna sweat dropped, briefly thinking of a certain spartan baby tutor.
"And to respond to your second question, when my parents died along with my brother, I was left on my own so you pick things up. I had a bit of money saved up so it wasn't that big of a deal. Not to mention I was a child prodigy so I got a bunch of scholarships. I had to learn how to cook to survive," Ed said, placing the last plate of food onto the table, "Eat up!"
"Edward-san," Haru said, "You didn't have to cook. Kyoko-chan and I can handle that stuff."
"I just thought I'd do it today considering you guys get to go to the surface," Ed smiled once more.
Ed watched with a contented look as they completely devoured the morsels of food. Ed looked over and saw three bento boxes he had made: one for Chrome, one for Basil, and a fairly large one for Shouichi and Spanner.
Ed picked up Basil's and Chrome's and quietly left the room to give it to them.
Ed knocked on the door to Basil's room softly. Hearing a muffled 'enter', Edward walked inside slowly. Basil would wake up and fall asleep every so often.
Ed walked over to Basil and set the Bento down by his bed, "Here you go, Basil-san," Edward said, "Eat it whenever you like."
Basil looked up and muttered a thank you before his head crashed down to the pillow once more, falling asleep almost instantaneously.
Ed smiled softly and quietly left the room.
Edward knocked on Chrome's door softly, "Chrome, you in there?"
"Who is it?" A feminine voice sounded through the wood.
"It's me, Edward," He responded.
The door slowly slid open and there stood Chrome, looking at him blankly.
Edward and Chrome had developed an interesting relationship. Ed had noticed that if the other's gave her food, she wouldn't eat it, but if he gave it to her, she'd at least eat some of it. He also found Chrome talking to him easier than others. It felt like he had a little sister. He smiled at the girl before holding up a bento box wrapped in Indigo cloth.
"Chrome, I made you a bento," Ed smiled, "You don't have to eat it right away, but at least try to eat some of it. Trust me, I'm a doctor."
Chrome nodded (she knew about Ed being immortal after Reborn explained it to her), and silently took the bento before she closed the door once more.
Ed sighed, running a hand through his golden hair. He really felt like a babysitter sometimes.
Edward walked back into the kitchen to retrieve the last bento. He saw everyone that was leaving for the town that day standing around in the kitchen.
"Hey, how about we go ahead and leave now and I can deliver the bento along the way," Ed suggested, earning enthusiastic nodding from Haru and Kyoko.
Ed picked up the bento and walked through the halls with the group, smiling softly.
Edward walked into the ruined lab, watching as the two typed away on the computers, occasionally writing things down on multiple pieces of paper.
Ed walked over to the duo and gently placed the bento on the ground. After he told them hello and got all the formalities out of the way, he slowly left the lab to leave the two to their devices.
Ed walked down the streets by himself, looking at the multiple shops. A few hours had passed since they came to the surface. He whirled around when he heard the concerned voices of the guardians. He listened closer to hear Gokudera yelling 'Juudaime!'
Ed slowly walked up to them and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, we got split up for a while and when we finally found each other, Tsuna-san was missing!" Haru explained worriedly.
"We don't know where he is," Kyoko said, "I'm worried."
Ed nodded and went over to a vending machine and bought two drinks, "I might know where he is... but, I'll go by myself and I won't take no for an answer."
Gokudera opened his mouth in protest, but surprisingly, shut it when he saw the expression the alchemist wore on his face. Sighing in defeat the small group nodded their heads before leaving.
Ed walked down a small street that led to an area around the forest. Ed slowly walked into the forest, taking a small deer trail to a place he had discovered when he moved to Namimori. Happy it was still there, Ed found his destination. After a few minutes of walking, Ed soon saw the small spring and river he had found in one of the larger forest clearings.
Ed smiled when he faintly saw the silhouette of Tsuna sitting by the water. Ed walked forward, grunting slightly as he plopped down beside Tsuna, "Found you. Everyone was worried you know."
"Eh! How did you find me?" Tsuna asked.
"Whenever my little brother was troubled, he'd always go and sit by the river that ran through the small village we grew up in. I also had to run after Giotto a lot when he disappeared randomly from time to time," Edward asked, "I just thought you were like them so I decided to give it a shot."
Ed lifted up one of the drinks he had bought earlier and held it in front of Tsuna's face, "Here."
Tsuna slowly took the beverage from Ed's hands, opening the lid with Ed doing the same to the one he had bought for himself, "Care to tell me what's wrong?"
Tsuna looked away, "It's stupid..."
Edward sighed, "Hmmm, you know what? I'll tell you something about me in exchange for what's bugging you. Equivalent exchange!"
Tsuna quirked an eyebrow at the term 'equivalent exchange', "...Fine..."
Edward looked at Tsuna again, "I lied about my age."
"What?" Tsuna said, "You aren't immortal?"
"I never said that," Edward said, "I apologize for it, but I'm really not 128 years old. I like to keep my actual age a secret. In all honesty, I'm 428 years old."
Tsuna spat out the drink in his mouth, "W-what? F-f-f-f-four h-h-hundred twenty e-e-eight y-ye-years old!"
Ed rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "I'm surprise you didn't know that considering Giotto was alive around 400 years ago."
Tsuna mentally slapped himself. They just readily accepted Ed's age without even thinking about the practicality.
"So, what's itching at you?" Ed asked.
"I'm...scared, worried..." Tsuna said.
"You're worried you're going to fail," Ed finished for him, "You're terrified that you might not be able to get everyone home."
Tsuna gaped at Edward, "How did you know?"
"I've gone through a similar situation," Edward replied, "I thought I had failed him, my brother... and everyone as well, I felt like I was being smothered."
Tsuna continued to stare at the seemingly young-looking boy beside him.
"I made it through though, because of my brother. I remember him getting frustrated and telling me we would live on together through everything because if we just threw our lives away and called it quits, we wouldn't gain anything in the end."
"Thanks," Tsuna said, "You made me feel better."
"Yeah, because as long as you have your friends, you don't have to worry because they'll make sure you don't give up."
Ed and Tsuna got up, "You, Haru, and Bianchi already visited Haru's house, right?" Ed asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"Do you want to go anywhere before we have to go back to the base?" Ed asked.
"I do have one place," Tsuna replied.
Ed and Tsuna walked through the streets of town, a smile appearing on Tsuna's face as he began to see the roof of Namimori.
They approached the school and Tsuna's face lit up even more when he saw who was also approaching the school gates. Tsuna ran forward to meet his friends.
"Tsuna!"
"Juudaime!"
"We were so worried!" Kyoko said.
"Where were you?" Haru asked.
"Ummm, I was..."
"He was just catching some fresh air," Edward said, placing an elbow onto Tsuna's head and leaning against the boy, "I found him out for a walk, as I thought he would be. Everyone likes silence."
Edward smiled at Tsuna, helping to cover up the fact about how the boy was worried from his friends.
"Oh, ok," Haru said.
"I guess we all felt like coming here, huh?" Tsuna asked.
Everyone nodded, "Well? Let's go inside!"
Bianchi and Edward walked slower following behind the group of teens (And babies).
"You sure haven't changed that much," Bianchi said.
"Hmmm?" Edward looked at the woman beside him, "Oh yeah! I almost forgot... I must look pretty similar, huh?"
"You sure do, but I was talking about how you deal with Tsuna," Bianchi said, "Even now, in the future, you were always the one to find him. A feat that not even some of Tsuna's closest friends could pull off."
"I have a little bit of experience with people like him," Edward said, "After all, I was Giotto's bodyguard. I dealt with things like this a lot if he ever got troubled."
Bianchi smiled slightly and the two continued to watch the smiling group in front of them.
"I'll be the teacher!" Haru said, standing behind the podium.
"I'll be the home ec. teacher," Bianchi stated.
"And I'll be the EXTREME upperclassman!" Ryohei yelled.
Ed leaned against the wall, watching them with a small smirk on his face.
Yamamoto leaned his head onto his desk, propping the book in front of him, "If I was at this angle, the teachers would never notice me sleeping!"
"I don't use cheap tricks, I just go ahead and sleep," Gokudera said, leaning back in his chair.
"Should you really be having this conversation while your teacher is in the room with you?" Ed finally spoke up, "And Yamamoto-kun! I always knew you were sleeping, I just let it slide. I did the same thing when I was your age!"
Yamamoto laughed, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
Ed sighed and smiled at his students, "Well, while we're here, why don't we catch up on your lessons?"
Ed began to laugh evilly and everyone in the room sweat dropped.
Ed walked over and picked up a piece of chalk. With one last evil smirk, Ed's arm sped across the chalk board, a cloud of chalk dust blocking their view. After the dust cleared and everyone had stopped coughing, they looked up to see a complex equation written.
"Pop quiz for all of you," Edward said, pointing at Haru and Ryohei as well, "Solve it!"
"Hieeee! What does that even mean!" Tsuna shrieked, "What am I supposed to do? Add? Multiply? Divide? Subtract? Something to the something power?"
"I don't know," Yamamoto said laughing.
"Hey, Octopus head!" Ryohei said, "Aren't you supposed to be some genius?"
"Well..." Gokudera drifted off, "Given where the decimal and exponent are located..."
"He's stalling!" Haru said, "He doesn't know the answer!"
"Shut up woman!" Gokudera yelled, "Don't you go to that prestigious school for smart people? Let's see you solve it!"
"Hahi!" Haru said, "Haru doesn't know how to solve it!"
Ed looked at Kyoko who shrugged and smiled sweetly. Ed smirked slightly, "You all..."
Everyone backed away.
"Pass!"
Cue collective yelling, "What!"
"You heard me!" Ed responded, "You all got so intimidated by the problem and didn't fully check it out enough to notice I was standing in front of the last part."
Ed stepped to the side, revealing the last few symbols, "This tells you to divide by zero, which isn't possible, hence making it an unsolvable problem, so you pass! If I removed that portion, you would've gotten it wrong."
Everyone sweat dropped, "You stressed us out for nothing!"
Ed smiled at them, "Well, let's head back!"
"Can we go to the roof first?" Tsuna asked.
"Why not, we have time," Bianchi said, earning a nod from Edward.
The group went and spent time on the roof. Ed looked at the setting sun, 'Guess I'll have to tell them now...'
Ed woke up early again the next morning and got dressed in a black t-shirt with dull grey pants on. Slipping on his usual combat boots he looked around for the auto-mail cover. He couldn't freak out the girls could he? When he found the needed item and fastened it to his automail, he headed out the door.
Ed walked through the halls sighing slightly to himself. He walked into the kitchen and saw Haru and Kyoko already preparing breakfast. He walked up to the girls and stood beside them.
"You need any help?"
"Oh, Edward-sensei!" Kyoko said, "You don't need to help you're so busy anyway."
"Don't worry, it's no big deal!" Ed said, "I'll help if you need me too! I insist."
"You can help prepare the rice balls if you want to," Haru smiled.
Ed grinned at her and walked over to the extra space on the counter where the prepared rice was. He slowly began to make the rice balls.
"Edward-sensei," Kyoko said, "You usually wear your hair in a ponytail, but lately you've been putting it in a braid. I'm not used to seeing your hair like that."
"I've been meaning to ask you Ed-san," Haru said, "I've been wondering where you're from. Your hair and eye color definitely isn't Japanese."
"I'm from Germany," Ed told her, "And before you ask, I don't have a heavy accent because I learned many languages."
Haru nodded and went back to her cooking.
About a half hour later, the others finally walked into the kitchen.
"Elric?" Gokudera asked, "You're cooking again?"
"Haru and Kyoko are doing most of it," Edward said, placing the last plate onto the table, "I just made a few things."
"Well, anyway," Kyoko said, "Eat up!"
Kyoko and Haru watched everyone leave. They slowly began to pick up the plates and putting them in the sink, Lambo and I-pin.
Out in the hall, Reborn and the rest of the group stood in front of Edward, "Ed, Tsuna told me about your age... your real name."
Edward sighed, "I guess I'll have to explain. Let's go to the meeting room."
Everyone nodded and walked through the halls. They soon reached the meeting room and after everyone settled down, Edward began.
"I originally told you my age was 128. While that is a lie, in a way, it is partially true. The time I wasn't immortal was the time was before Hitler's rise in power when the socialist worker's party, the nazis, were still scheming. After a series of... events (A/N: He's talking about what happened in FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa) my brother and I soon discovered a dangerous weapon making it's way into the Nazi's possession. We both traveled trying to locate said weapon, the Uranium bomb."
Eyes widened in the room, "Hieee! U-U-Ur-Uranium B-bomb!"
Ed nodded before continuing, "Well, we eventually found the man who recovered it after about four our five years. My younger brother by then looked the same age as me as I already became immortal. The guy we found was mentally unstable in my opinion. In charge of torturing prisoners of war by making them mine uranium to create another uranium bomb. It was my fault that the first uranium bomb is even here, but that is a story for another time. We found children there, being used for that sick purpose."
Even though it was in the past, the people in the room couldn't help but to be filled with rage at what they had just heard.
"Well, me being the naturally brash person I used to be, got angry and charged right up to the bastard and attacked. The guy threatened to use the bomb. He didn't have it on him at the moment so I kept fighting him. That's when things went wrong. The area they were holding went berserk, or at least the mined uranium did. It created a giant shockwave that most likely killed most of the people there, I don't know for sure."
"Why don't you know for sure?" Yamamoto asked, "Weren't you there?"
"Yes, but I tried something I hadn't done in a while, and for some reason it worked even though it shouldn't have. Instead of doing what I thought it would, it somehow sent my brother and I back in time. 300 years back in time in fact. The time where Giotto was alive and had just gotten around to forming the vigilante group Vongola. The Vongola was not involved with the mafia yet.
"I eventually told Giotto and his guardians about what had happened to us about my immortality. After that, I joined with him as his bodyguard after I protected him multiple times. My brother and I stayed in touch, but he settled down and got married, even had a family after I convinced him to do such and not get involved with the mafia."
"...wow..." Tsuna broke the silence.
LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! Done with this unusually long chapter! I hoped you enjoyed it! R&R, stay tuned!
