A/N: Kinda short.

Chapter 5: Revenge

It was getting late. Exploring Central all day isn't a very fun experience alone. Edward's left hand was in his pocket, while his right hand held his suitcase. Ed stopped in his tracks, looking up at the sky. It wasn't very cloudy; the moon could still be seen illuminating the streets.

Ed remembered how he and Al used to sit out in front of their house, and counting the stars until their mother called them inside for the night. Edward smiled, thinking about his lost family. Suddenly, an idea sparked in his head. The blond boy looked around, trying to spot an alley. He leaned closer to the street, trying to get a wider view of the sidewalk. He spotted an alley a little farther up the street he was on and jogged over to it. He looked at the side of the opening, seeing a pole crawling up the brick wall. He grinned, grabbing the pole with his left hand, pausing.

"How am I supposed to climb up this with damn suitcase?" His idea of stargazing over the city was starting to feel like a lost cause.

"It seems that the Great God Ishbala has put you in my path again, FullMetal Alchemist," an ominous voice rang out from the depths of the alley, making Edward jump.

The young teen's heart started to race; he recognized that voice. He watched a familiar grey haired Ishbalan emerge from the darkness; he looked a little wobbly himself. Ed could feel Scar's red eyes piercing through his dark glasses. "I'm glad we finally met again, I can send you to your maker, just like how your brother met his."

Edward was frozen. Frozen by his fear and anger, by his rage.

"You were watching. You watched as those damn homunculi killed my brother, the only family I had left!" His voice rose at the end of his sentence. Ed clapped his hands and slid his hand across the plating of the automail, transforming it into a blade, his glove ripping off. Edward charged blindly at the scared Ishbalan, swinging for his stomach. Dodging, Scar found this to be an opportunity to snatch up Edward's automail, lifting him off the ground. The boy flailed, trying to get out of Scar's hold. "LET GO OF ME!"

"It was foolish of you to charge me like that. I'll have to destroy this right arm of yours again."

"SHUT UP!" Edward raised his leg up, driving his foot into Scar's stomach, managing to get out of his grip and launch off of him. Ed landed on his left shoulder, his wound sending a sharp pain through him, causing him to yelp. Ed struggled to get back up. He held his should while hissing in pain. He felt his wound reopen, he watched the dark pool of red expand on his clothes. "You can break my automail all you like, but I have the best mechanic in the world. She can always rebuild it for me!" Before he knew it, he felt himself being lifting off the ground again, this time by his hair.

Ed groaned, his hair couldn't support his body weight; he could feel some strands of hair ripping out of his scalp.

"I will give you a moment to pray to God."

"Again, there's no god I'll ever want to pray to." Edward scoffed, flashing a devilish smirk at the man. The boy's golden eyes that were once filled with determination were now filled with bloodlust; his only intent was to kill. Scar looked at the boy with scorn, he was truly disgusted at the sight. Ed watched Scar raise his right arm, almost in slow motion.

This wasn't when he was going to die. He was only going to die on his own terms. He'll die when he wanted to.

He felt his right arm raise and shoot towards the brown hand that got closer to his face. He hadn't realized that the blade had impaled Scar's hand, forcing its way past the bone and muscle. Ed didn't even realized what he had done until he felt his back make contact with the ground again, Scar's screams ringing in his ears. Scar held his wrist, the crimson blood flowing down from the wound. Edward got back up to his feet, ready to finish Scar. His lips spread a smile; he looked like his was possessed by a demon. The man looked at the child and ducked, placing his bloody hand on the ground, causing it to spark red, making the ground cave in underneath him. Ed jumped back, trying to dodge the flying the flying debris. He felt one slide against his cheek. He felt blood run down his face as another piece of debris smacked him in the left shoulder.

The force blew him backwards, making him cry out in agony. When the debris stopped flying, the last thing he heard from Scar was, "You are leading a dangerous path, Edward Elric. I have given you my warning."

Ed got back onto his feet, peering over the hole that led into the sewers. "Tch, what the hell do you know, Scar…" He leaned into the hole, holding onto the raised ground for support. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?!" he screamed, hearing his voice echo below him. Ed stepped out of the alleyway, the wind sweeping on his face and clothes. The breezed made his blood congeal, making the blood stop flowing. The blood on his blade hardened as well. He picked up his suitcase and started back down the street.

"My damn hair… It almost got me killed…" He put down his suitcase, and scooped up all of his long, golden hair over his left shoulder. He put the blade up to the length he wanted it shortened. He forced the blade to cut through the hair, pulling the hair against the sharp surface as well. Ed held the chunk of hair in his left hand, observing the light of the moon reflecting off of it beautifully. Ed sighed and dumped the hair in the nearest trashcan.
