Chapter 13: Alien rescue
Hmmm…..warm…..light…?
Edward bolted up. He looked around wildly, he saw that he was in a bedroom on a large bed. The sun shined from a window on the far side of the room. Suddenly, the memories of the day before rushed back to him. He jumped out of the bed and realized he was wearing silk red pajamas. "Where the hell am I?"
He remembered Baneful taking him away from the hot spring. I got to get out of here. Edward ran to the window, if he used the door, it would give him a higher chance of get caught. He pulled up to get it open, it wouldn't budge. He examined the window. Someone had nailed the window shut. Edward merely laughed. "Think that can hold me?" He clapped his hands together and placed them to the window…..nothing happened. Edward stood frozen in shock, hands still on the window. What? He tried again….nothing. Edward staggered back, and sat on the bed in shock. What did he do to me? He suddenly noticed something, he pulled back his sleeve and gasped. There were injection shots all along his wrist. He put something in me to cancel out my alchemy! Evil bastard! I guess I'll have to get out of here the old fashion way.
Edward rose and started to walked to the door, but tripped, tangle in his pajama bottom's legs, the pajamas were to big, but Ed would probably never admit it. "Damn" He stood up and pulled the pants up as far as they would go, then ran to the door. He slowly opened the door and peeked his head out. It was a giant hall with a the tallest roof Ed had ever seen. The entire hall was decorated with paintings, photographs, and statues. Just how rich is this bastard?
He took another look to make sure that there was no one else in the hall, and stepped out. There were windows running all along the hall, he tip toed to one and looked out, he saw that the front door was north of were he was now, but he would also have to find a way downstairs. Damn, this place is huge. Edward started to walk as quietly as possible down the hall. Suddenly, he turned around to a painting that he had noticed, it was of Allen, Edward was amazed at how much they looked alike. He started to feel bad for Baneful, he must have really cared about his son to search everywhere for someone who looks like him. But it was still no excuse to kidnap other peoples' children.
Edward froze abruptly at the sound of footsteps coming his way, he turned around wildly to see the person, he saw a shadow of a person around the corner. Damn. He saw a door to another room, out of desperation, he opened the door and went in, he left the door open, just a bit, to peek out and see who it was, when he saw who it was the took and involuntary gasps in. It was Wrath and Sloth. Why the hell are they here? He was about to jump out, but remembered his alchemy problem and thought better of it.
He backed away from the door and looked at wear he was, it seemed to be in some sort of storage room. He saw a box in the corner, he could see something shining inside it, he walked over and opened it. He sighed in relief, inside was his clothes and silver pocket watch. Good thing, I thought I would have to escape in only pajamas. He changed quickly and put the clothes in the box, then he put his watch in his pocket. He felt something already in there, he took it out. I was the cell phone Yuki had given him. Perfect! He flipped it open and pushed the buttons Haruhi had taught him and put the phone to his ear. It started to ring and was followed with and exusted sounding, "Hello?"
"My, what a welcoming call this is." Edward said sarcastically.
"EDWARD!" Haruhi screamed, Edwad yanked the phone away from his ear. "Haruhi!" he hissed. "Quite!" But he new she wasn't listening, she was shouting to someone "It Edward! Edo-chan's on the phone!"
"Haruhi! You have to be quite!" Edward hissed again, angry at being called Chan again.
"Where are you? Are you all right? They didn't hurt you did they?"
"I'm….fine." Edward was surprised at how concerned Haruhi was being. "Hold on, all put you on speaker phone." Haruhi said, sounding very exicited.
"I don't even know what that means! Haruhi?" He heard sounds of buttons and movement, then "Okay Ed," It was Haruhi. "We can all hear you now."
"Who's 'we all'?" Edward heard whispers and gaspes of releif.
"Brother! You're okay!" this was Alphonse's voice.
"What! You people thought I wasn't going to be okay? You're talking to the youngest person ever to become a state alchemist." Edward laughed.
"Fullmetal, where are you? What's happening?" This was Mustang.
"Um…well, I not sure exactly. I woke up and I was in a room in this giant mansion, I think it belongs to Baneful, but I saw two homunculus running around."
"But it should be easy to leave, I mean with you alchemy and everything." this was Kyon.
"Well, not exactly…."
"What do you mean?" this was Winry.
"Someone enjected me with some fluid while I was asleep that cancles out my alchemy."
"Not good." mumbled Roy. "Do you have any idea where you are?" Edward recalled what he had seen out the window.
"Now that I think of it, I remember-" Edward was cut of by voices outside the storage room. He listened.
"He's got to be here somewhere, he can't get far without alchemy." this sounded like the homunculus Lust
"Well, we better find him, or the deals off with Baneful." that sounded like Envy.
"AAHHCCHHOO!" Edward covered his mouth and grew wide-eyed.
"Did you hear that, his in there!" Envy said, Edward ducted behind a pile of boxes as he heard the door open. "Fullmetal?"
"Edward?"
"Brother?"
"Edo-chan?" Everyone was calling to him from the phone. "Call you back." hissed Edward, and he hung up, ignoring the cries of protest.
Edward tried not to breath as he listened to approcing footsteps. "We know you're here, pipsqeak!" Edward heard Envy start knocking over the piles of boxes. "Your new Father won't like you crawling around places you don't belong in." more boxes fell over, this time very close to where Edward crouched. He silently crawled to the farthest corner of the room. He placed his hands on the wall to steady himself, he felt dizzy. Damn it, they must have ingected me with some sleeping medicene, and I don't stand a chance against these guys with out alchemy, I'm trapped. He sank to his knees and sat against the wall. Oh well, I'll find some way to make this work. Just then he felt something on the wall. He saw boxes even closer being knocked over. He cocked his head over his shoulder to see what he felt. It looked like a little door. He opened it, it looked like and old laundry shoot. More boxes feel over. Well I don't have any better ideas. He put his feet in first, then he held himself up as he put his legs in. "There he is!" Envy appeared around a pile of boxes followed by Lust. "uh-oh!" Edward let himself drop as Envy tried to run up and grab him. "NO!" Envy howled then laughed. "YOUR LUCKY YOUR TINY, PIPSQEAK, BUT YOU CAN'T GET AWAY THAT EASY! SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM" he turned and ran out of the room, followed by lust.
Edward slid down the shoot quickly, screaming alittle when it had an angle and finally fell in a large basket filled with dirty sheets. "Eww." Edward swam therw the pile to the edge of the basket and jumped out. He looked around, it was a normal lanudry room. No one was in sight. He sighed in releif, but he wasn't out of the woods yet. He ran to the door, opened it, and froze.
"Goodmorning Allen, your up early, my son."
