Death II: Potassium
One day Edward Elric was having an argument with his superior officer, Colonel Roy Mustang. That in itself was not unusual, they argued every second of every moment that they were forced to spend in each other's company. No, what made this current altercation so unique was its topic.
Bananas.
Not just bananas, but the idea of whether or not the young volatile teen could stomach eating over 200 of them. It all started when Ed and his annoying xingnese friend, Ling, got into their own battle over who was the bigger eater amongst the two. They quickly wished to settle it with a contest, and found that the nearest supply of food happened to be a fruit stand that held a large quantity of bananas. They promptly stole all of the yellow fruit, leaving a note to put the bill on Mustang's tab.
This brought them to their current situation…
"How many times do I have to tell you I am not you damn bank account?" The colonel screamed at the top of lungs, too fed up with his youngest subordinates antic's to keep up his usually calm façade. This had to be the most ridiculous thing the kid had done to him yet. The boy had placed large sums of money on his tab before on numerous occasions.
But 100,000 sens? For banana's?
Edward sat on the couch before the man still pealing and shoving whole bananas into his mouth. He had been very upset with the fact that Ling had already consumed over a hundred of them, and never one to take defeat had refused to stop the contest even after his friend conceded.
"Bananas? You break my bank account for bananas?"
The boy pointedly ignored his commanding officer, as he chewed. His stomach was feeling queasy… maybe he should stop.
"If that wasn't enough you destroyed the whole damned fruit stand!"
Edward shoved another into his mouth, having trouble swallowing. Was he imagining things or did his heart rate feel like it was picking up too fast?
"Scaring its owner half to death! Do you know who has to deal with all this? Do you?"
The young alchemist dropped the fruit in his hand and gripped the side of the couch he sat on. He was feeling extremely nauseous and the room was spinning. There were black spots flickering at the edge of his vision.
"I honestly do not know why I bother! You are so immature I do not see why I don't fire you right now?"
He could not breathe.
"What do you think about that? Well, Fullmetal?"
PLOP!
Roy turned to see the young boy sprawled face down on the floor. The fruits he had been eating strewn around him.
"Fullmetal?"
The man stepped forward, bending down to turn the boy over.
He held his breathe.
Edward was not breathing.
Later they had found that bananas had an abundance of a vitamin called Potassium, which usually is good for your health, but can be hazardous if taken in large doses. Edwards's heart had been overwhelmed and stopped within seconds.
The great Fullmetal Alchemist, hero of the people was essentially killed by bananas.
