LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! I'm back from Vacation and I finished this chapter as soon as I got back. I would also like to announce that I have created a poll on my profile about whether or not I should create a story about Ed's time with the first generation Vongola. You can also say if you would like it or not in a review and could even suggest a title as I haven't thought of anything. Thank you for reading and all of the reviews. I hope you like this chapter. Oh and yay! I'm so happy I hit 100 reviews! Thank you so much you guys and I'm so happy you enjoy this story! I'm really, really, really glad! You guys are awesome! Cyber cookies for everyone!

UniCryin: Oh, Ed will kick Daemon's ass! Don't you worry. I'm glad you liked when Ken thought Ed was a girl.

Archsage328: I am laughing at how you said Daemon and Envy are both related to plants! That was hilarious! I agree, they are both superb villains. I'm glad you liked the part with Ed and Giotto in Tsuna's room and you are so right! Tsuna's reactions are always hilarious. Oh, being sane is such a drag sometimes. And the thing with Ed promoting pairings and stuff like that is a brilliant idea! I'll try to use it too! P.S. I am a fan of Kyoko and Tsuna as well.

HebaAce: Glad you liked it. And don't worry, their will be a fight scene with Ed and Daemon... I can't say how good it will be though so I'm sorry if I let you down on that... Anyway, thanks for the review and I'm glad I kept Tsuna in character!

SunshineAndMoonlight: Thanks for the review! Ed knows about Daemon's love (I totally forgot her name as well) I just figured that Ed would be mad at Daemon because I feel like Daemon misinterpreted his love's last wish so Ed lost all respect for him because of that. At least, that's how I believed Ed would react.

CrimsonLocket: Glad you liked the chapter. And about the bullet. I believe it would've paralyzed him temporarily and not to mention it would've hurt a hell of a lot. And you never know, Ed might have a history with Byakuran after all. I know my brother picks on me a lot too, but like you, we are getting along better now. I keep up to date on the manga and you are SO not the only one! I'm so excited!

One of the Colorless: Thanks for the review! And you'll have to read to find out if it was Byakuran or not.

A Natsume Yuujinchou Lover: Hi ANYL, thanks for the review and you didn't fail me! I'm just glad you read my story! I'm glad you liked the tea scene with Ed and Giotto! Oh and with the flashback thing, it is from the first season. And don't worry, I didn't really like the first anime adaption either. I'm glad you liked it and here's the update! Oh and my computer didn't 'explode' per say, it kinda' sparked and a small fire and a lot of smoke started coming out of it. My room still smells like smoke...

~Previously~

"Primo was a fool!"

"How dare you say that about Giotto?" Ed growled, "He's saved your ass so many times I've lost track!"

"Wanna' say that again, shrimp?" Daemon threatened.

Ed smirked, he'd gotten the pineapple to crack, "Try me."

Ed shot his right fist forward, only to have it caught by Daemon, "Uh, uh, uh," Daemon chided as if in warning, "Should you really be interfering with the inheritance test when you yourself are part of the first generation?"

Ed smirked, "I'll be pummeling your ass on behalf of the tenth generation this time."

Daemon was shocked for a moment, letting his guard down briefly, but that was enough for Edward. Ed quickly pulled his left leg back, round-house kicking Daemon hard in the side, sending the mist user into a nearby wall. Ed ignited the flame on his head and charged with renewed vigor at the illusionist.

Ed picked Daemon out of the rubble of the wall, hoisting him up by his collar. Daemon winced slightly at the pain erupting through his back. (A/N: Still not really sure if he can feel pain or not considering he's flames, but to keep with the story, I'll say yes. After all, that will make Ed beating him to a pulp all the more enjoyable)

Without missing a beat, Ed threw Daemon across the room with brute force, "Giotto might still consider you his friend, but that doesn't mean I will. I lost all respect for you the day you betrayed Giotto."

Daemon slowly got up, stumbling slightly. Looking at the blonde standing before him, he smirked slightly, "Guess I'll have to get serious then..."

Without another word, Daemon summoned a staff, making it out of Mist flames. He charged forward, extending his arm, diagonally slashing out the staff into Ed's gut, knocking the wind out of the alchemist.

Ed stumbled back, but lost all balance when Daemon kicked him over the head, sending Ed crashing to the floor. Edward spit out the blood formed from his split lip and quickly back-flipped away to gain distance between him and the (most likely) legally insane Daemon Spade.

After regaining his breath, Ed used his flames to transmute his arm into a blade. he blade emerged quickly, ripping through the fake skin like covering that hid his automail from view. Ed charged once more, raising his arm and bringing it down, Daemon narrowly blocking it. The mist flames that made up Daemon's staff began to crack before shattering completely, allowing Ed to slash right through the illusionist.

The blonde alchemist smirked, waiting for Daemon to appear again. Like he predicted, Daemon appeared behind him, a new staff in his hands. Daemon swung down the staff, but Ed dodged with ease, flipping over the top of it and using the weapon as a step-stool as the alchemist flipped over Daemon's head. Now behind the mist user, Ed quickly put Daemon in a choke hold, kicking Daemon's legs out from under him.

Daemon gritted his teeth, choking slightly before elbowing Ed in the gut causing the Alchemist to gasp in surprise and pain. After they both caught their breath, they stood up, glaring at their opponent.

Time Skip

Ed didn't know for sure how long he had been fighting Daemon, but he knew it had been going on for a while. He looked at his beaten and bloodied opponent who was breathing heavily, as was he. Ed charged forward, going into a hand stand and spinning, lashing out his legs to kick Daemon multiple times. When he began to lose momentum, he stopped, performing a back hand spring which caused Ed to kick Daemon once more before he stood once more.

Ed glared at the annoying pineapple who appeared to be growing tired. Ed charged, football tackling the illusionist into a nearby wall, only this time as opposed to just colliding with the structure, Daemon went crashed straight through it, leaving a gaping hole in his wake.

Ed was surprised when he heard a high pitched yell, "Hieee!"

"Tsunayoshi-kun?" Ed panted, surprised. He rushed forward and into the other room, surprised to find the group gathered in the theater where he had been before Daemon had captured him. He was relieved to see that the girls were free. His eyes soon landed on Daemon's form, slumped on the ground and slowly disappearing.

Ed looked around suspiciously, knowing how Daemon would be re-materializing soon. Like he had thought, Daemon appeared once more, wielding yet another staff. Ed gritted his teeth.

"This isn't a good development at all... It seems I have underestimated you all," Daemon said, "You even broke through my illusion. It looks like I'll have to get serious as well. It seems I'll have to beat these ideals into your brain through force."

Ed watched as Daemon charged at Tsuna, both appearing to be equally matched. For most of this confrontation, Ed just zoned out as Daemon was spouting out his propaganda about how emotions are a hindrance and he was trying to reform the Vongola and make it stronger. Ed gained interest quickly however when Tsuna became trapped in an illusion and accidentally fired at Haru, Kyoko, I-pin, Yuni, and Chrome, causing none other than Mukuro to appear instead of Chrome. Mukuro easily blocked the weakened X-Burner and successfully protected the girls.

At first, it appeared like he would fight Daemon, and that's what Daemon thought he would do, so when Mukuro let Tsuna attack, Daemon was taken by surprise. Daemon narrowly dodged all of Tsuna's attacks as the young mafia boss was attacking with renewed vigor. The fight quickly finished when Tsuna unleashed an X-Burner upon Daemon, causing the illusionist to disappear once more.

Ed sighed and waited for Daemon to appear again, knowing he would. Tsuna caught onto this as well, "Daemon, you are still out there. Show yourself!"

"Geez, take it easy," Daemon said, appearing to the side of them, "I no longer intend to fight you," Daemon turned to Mukuro, "You are quite interesting, but I guess you are worthy of my inheritance, guardian of the Vongola mist ring."

"I'd prefer it if you didn't use that title," Mukuro said, laughing his usual creepy laugh, "It's not something I chose myself."

"Oh? And why are you here then?" Daemon asked with interest.

"To target Sawada Tsunayoshi more easily," Daemon stated.

Daemon chuckled, "And what do you plan on doing once you eliminate him?"

"To destroy the mafia," Mukuro replied, before adding, "And take over the world."

Tsuna looked taken aback before deadpanning at the reply. Ed stared at the mist guardian, thinking to himself, 'So he's that kind of guy...'

Ed looked back and forth between the two mist users who were chuckling. After a few moments, Ed thought to himself, 'Are they communicating through creepy laughs or something?'

After a few moments filled with creepy laughter, a torrent of Sky flames appeared in the darkness of the room, soon morphing into none other than the Vongola Primo, Giotto.

"Thank you for fulfilling your duty, Daemon," Giotto said politely, "Could you please give him his inheritance now?"

Daemon laughed dryly for a second, "You're a fool if you think I'm doing this for you."

"Wanna' repeat that you freaky pineapple!" Ed roared preparing to charge the mist user. He would've made it if Yamamoto hadn't intervened and hoisted the blonde alchemist into the air.

"Ed-sensei, calm down," Yamamoto said chuckling.

"Hey! Put me down!" Ed struggled against Yamamoto's grip, "Have you ever heard of respect for your elders!"

While Ed was throwing his tantrum, Daemon chuckled, "It appears even time can't calm his little anger issue."

Mukuro looked at Tsuna, speaking to the young mafia boss, "Vongola, I will trust you with Chrome, but if anything happens to her, there will be hell to pay."

Tsuna gulped, nodding quickly as Mukuro disappeared revealing Chrome. She stumbled slightly, causing Tsuna to run forward, catching the weakened girl before she collapsed.

"Chrome-chan," Tsuna said, "Are you okay?"

Chrome nodded slightly, "Yes, boss."

"Can you take out your Vongola box?" Tsuna requested politely, "Daemon Spade said he would give you his inheritance."

Chrome nodded once more and quickly pulled the small, indigo box from her jacket.

"I hereby bequeath the Vongola mist guardian with my inheritance," Daemon said, turning into a torrent of mist flames, a small ball of flame shooting itself towards the indigo box.

After Daemon was gone, Yamamoto placed Ed on the floor once more, quickly being knocked to the ground when the short-tempered blonde kicked his feet out from under him.

Ed sighed, walking over to where Giotto stood.

"What would you like me to do?" Tsuna asked Giotto,"I still haven't completed my trial."

Giotto looked back over his shoulder at Tsuna, "You have already passed all my expectations, Decimo. I am assured that you still have a well of potential yet to be discovered. I hereby bequeath you with my inheritance and utmost approval."

Giotto smiled, a small orb of sky flames shooting towards Tsuna and going into the small orange box carried by the teen.

"Shall we go, Edward?" Giotto asked walking through the doorway.

Ed nodded, "I'll be happy to see you off."

Ed followed one of his closest friends through the doorway, leaving the rejoicing group to themselves, no one noticing his departure.

Ed and Giotto walked into the small clearing in the forest, soon spotting Daemon. Ed huffed in annoyance, looking away from the mist user who was currently checking his watch.

"You still have it?" Giotto asked in amazement as he saw the golden pocket watch in Daemon's hands, "I guess that means you still consider us your friends as well."

"You truly are a fool, Primo," Daemon said before disappearing.

Ed huffed once more, "The nerve of some people."

Giotto ignored his companion's obvious annoyance and turned to the woods, "Everyone, let's go."

One by one, the first generation guardians appeared beside Giotto.

"I guess this is goodbye," Ed said smiling softly, "It really is boring without you guys. Sure, the tenth generation is a blast, but nothing beats the time I spend with you guys."

Asari smiled at Ed warmly, "I agree with you completely."

G smirked, "Don't get all sappy, Elric, or have you just gotten soft?"

Ed gritted his teeth, "What did you call me! Oh, and you owe me fifteen dollars 'cause they passed all of your trials, so cough up flame brain!"

"Shut up, fullmetal pipsqueak!"

"Now, now," Asari said, stepping between the two, "Don't fight. Let's part ways with joy."

"Fine," Ed grumbled stepping back.

"Anyway, bye Chibi," Lampo said, walking up to Edward, "It's not as fun with you around, but see you later."

"I'll ignore the nickname for right now," Ed said, "But I will get you back when I see you again."

"Yeah," Lampo agreed, disappearing in a rush of lightning flames.

Ed smirked, slowly inching over to Alaude, "Hey, 'laude-pon! You're not saying goodbye to me?"

"Stop with the nicknames!" Alaude growled.

"But your reactions are so funny I just can't stop, Alaude-tan!" Ed chuckled, smirking evilly.

Alaude reached into his jacket, slowly pulling out a pair of handcuffs. His movements stopped however, when a hand was placed on his hand.

"Please resolve this peacefully," Knuckle said, "God condones us to come to peaceful solutions."

"I see you're extremely religious as always," Ed said, facing the Sun guardian.

"And I see you are still extremely obstinate against converting," Knuckle sighed.

Ed chuckled, "Yep."

"I guess we'll be taking our EXTREME leave now," Knuckle said, smiling, "I hope that our paths will cross again."

Ed nodded, "Don't worry. We'll see each other soon."

Alaude grunted in reply while Knuckle grinned widely, both disappearing in a torrent of their respective class of flames.

Asari chuckled at the scene before him, "You're still the only one who can get a rise out of Alaude."

Ed smirked at his friend, "I tend to have that sort of effect on people."

Asari smiled, "You do leave a unique impression on people. I look forward to seeing you again."

"And when I do see you again, I expect to hear some more of your music. I hope you've come up with new material, because I've already memorized every other song you have."

Asari smiled, "I hope my music will not disappoint you when that day comes."

"It could never disappoint me," Ed smiled at Asari.

Asari nodded and looked around at the three people remaining, "I bid you all farewell then."

When the rain flames had dissipated, G spoke up, "I guess I'll be leaving next."

Ed smirked, "I guess I'll see you later then."

G nodded, "I will get back at you for all of those stunts you pulled."

"I won't hold my breath," Ed replied, "Who knows when you'll be back."

G chuckled in response and thought, 'You'll eat those words, Elric.'

"Bye," Ed said, "I'll miss seeing your ego all the time."

"Yeah, yeah," G muttered, "Bye."

The form of G disappeared in swirling Storm flames.

Ed sighed and turned to Giotto, "This is always the saddest part of seeing people I've been apart from for a long time..."

"What is?" Giotto asked.

"Saying goodbye..." Ed muttered, "It's like I'm being left behind all over again..."

Giotto smiled softly, "It was good seeing you again, Edward-kun."

"Yeah. It was nice to be able to talk to you like old times. I just hope I'll see you again," Ed smiled softly.

"Don't worry..." Giotto said, "We are always right by you."

"Do you know how cliche that is?" Edward questioned.

"I know it is, but I'm serious," Giotto said, "The ring you possess, the one that represents your place in the Vongola, it is like ours. It holds the first generations will within it. I'm sure you could easily use it to communicate with us. I'm not positive, but you are someone who could accomplish anything"

Ed smiled, "I'll take your word for it. Until next time, Giotto."

Ed watched silently as Giotto slowly disappeared, "Good bye, Ed."

As the flames dissipated, Ed sighed, "I was right... this is the hardest part."

The next day, everyone returned to the future to face Byakuran and restore the balance to the chaotic universe.

LunarFallenStar: And done! I hope you all liked this chapter! I also hope the first generation was in character! Till next time! Stay tuned and R&R please!
