The Fullmetal Human : The Making of Friendship
Chapter 23 - Dragonshy [Part 3]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEd slid to a stop as he neared the mountain and looked up too see the smoke coming out from the top of it.
"So there's a dragon on top of this mountain" Ed said with anticipation as he stared up it.
"Edward!" ???
Ed turned around as he heard his name being called and saw Princess Celestia walking towards him.
"Hey Celestia" Ed said as he started walking towards her noticing somepony behind her.
Upon closer inspection Ed saw that it was another alicorn, her younger sister Luna to be exact, as she came out from behind Celestia and stood by her side. So far Ed has only seen pictures of the mare in books but never before did he think that she would be so pretty in person... or pony as it were.
"You must be her younger sister I'm guessing" Ed said smiling.
Luna didn't seem to respond but only stared at him. "You must be the human correct?" She said while looking at him up and down.
"Yes that's me" He said grinning while rubbing the back of his head.
Luna nodded after hearing this and bowed in a elegant form. "Princess Luna"
Ed not wanting to seem rude bowed lower to the younger princess. "Edward Elric"
After bowing both of them leaned back up and smiled at each other. There smile's where rudely interrupted as a dragon's roar could be heard from up above. Soon they felt the ground shake shortly after the roar followed by some screaming which Ed identified as the girl's.
"Sister what do you think is happening!?" Luna said as she looked to her elder sister who was looking up at the mountain.
"I fear this task may have been too difficult to handle for the Elements of Harmony... Come Luna let's see if they need help" Celestia said as she looked to her little sister. Luna nodded then looked back to Ed.
"Fear not Edward Elric, We shall-" Luna stopped speaking as she noticed that the human was gone and no where to be seen as she looked around for him.
"Where did he?"
Mane 6
Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all looked in confusion as there once shy and scaredy cat friend, just made a grown dragon cry after giving him a rough scolding.
"There there. No need to cry. You're not a bad dragon, you just made a bad decision. Now go pack your things. You just need to find a new place to sleep. That's all" Fluttershy said calming the dragon down.
The dragon sniffed before wiping one of it's tears with it's claws. "Okay"
"Hey is this your's" ???
The dragon and mares all turned there heads as they watched Ed holding a jewel as he walked toward the group. The dragon just blinked before showing his teeth.
The Princesses
Celestia felt Luna teleport behind her as she stood on a nearby cloud watching the scene below. So far she was impressed as Fluttershy scolded the dragon making him cry. Luna watched also and noticed the human coming up from the mountain path nearing the group.
"It seems that we were not needed" Luna said as she watched the human pick something up.
"It seem's so sister" Celestia said as she watched Fluttershy now comfort the dragon.
"Why does the dragon not attack her dear sister, have dragons become less hostile over the years?" Luna asked as she switched her sights to the dragon as it now wiped it's tears.
"You'd be surprised Luna, a lot of things have-" Celestia was cut off as she heard a loud roar coming from the dragon, this time it sounded more harsh and louder.
Both Princesses saw that the Dragon was aiming it's sights on the human as it slowly approached him. Celestia didn't know what was going on but wanted to wait it out and see what would happen. Sadly that wasn't Luna's plan as she was already teleporting to the humans side.
In a quick spell Luna was already down on the ground next to Edward as she took a defensive stance in front of him. She watched as the Dragon leaned it's head down and roared in her face. Luna wasn't intimidated by the dragon and have defeated many of them before. She fired up her horn for a spell but stopped as she felt a sudden hand on her shoulder. She half looked and saw Edward walking in front of her and to the dragon. She watched as Ed slowly walked up to the dragon's head as it leaned down to Ed. Ed stopped in front of the dragon and stood there motionlessly.
"What did you say?" Ed asked.
Edward Elric
"I said hello Edward Elric it's nice to meet you again" The dragon roared again causing Ed to close his eyes as the dragon's breath came at him like a strong wind.
Ed re-opened his eyes and saw the Dragon staring at him. "How do you know my name?" Ed asked as another question popped in his mind.
"And I don't think we've meet before" Ed said watching as the dragon huffed some air out of his nose.
"Is this your first time meeting me?" The dragon roared making Ed close his eyes again.
"Yes this is my first time meeting you, and could you not talk so loudly" Ed said as he saw the dragon nod.
"Awesome" Ed said as he felt a tap on the back.
Ed turned around and saw Luna staring between him and the dragon. "Are you... speaking to the dragon... can you understand it's language?"
"Huh? It's talking perfect English" Ed said as he looked back to the Dragon who was shaking his head.
"This is your first time meeting me then" The dragon said in a less roaring voice.
"As I said before yes this is my first time meeting you" Ed said as he looked to the mares on his right and saw them staring at him.
"What?" Ed said confused as to why they couldn't understand him.
"It seem's as though it is time to pass that message then" The dragon said as it got up and went back into his cave.
Ed was confused as to what it meant and how the dragon even knew his name. Soon he was rushed by Twilight as she came to his side.
"You understand the Dragon language!?" Twilight shouted as she shook him.
"Ah! Twilight calm down! He was talking straight English what do you mean!?" Ed said as he tried to get the mare to stop shaking him.
"No Edward, he was speaking in another Language" Luna said as she looked at the cave where the dragon was.
"But he was..." Ed stopped talking as he felt the ground shaking a little as he turned and saw the dragon coming out of his cave.
The dragon stopped and looked at Ed. Twilight stopped shaking Ed as the human began walking towards the dragon.
"Whats was the message?" Ed asked as the mares waited from afar.
"No matter what happens, always remember who you are" The dragon said causing Ed to blink.
"Wha-" Ed was cut-off as the dragon lit Ed on fire covering his whole body with flames.
"Ed!" Twilight screamed as she watched in fear as Ed was consumed in a rage of fire as the dragon blew flames at him.
"Edward!" Luna shouted as she looked at the flames trying to find Edward within them.
Soon the flames disappeared as the dragon stropped breathing them. Luna was about to send the dragon to death but stopped as she saw the human. Ed was standing there untouched by the flame as his clothes had a few holes here and there. Ed was frozen in place as still looked at the dragon with his mouth still open from his word. He closed his mouth and began to move as he looked down at his body and saw that he was unscathed by the fire and chuckled.
"What the hell" He said as he chuckled some more.
"I would tell you more but I know you;ll figure it out on the way" The dragon said as it turned around and started walking back into his cave.
"It was nice seeing you again" The dragon said before leaving Ed to himself.
Ed just blinked as he watched the dragon disappear from his sight. He turned around and saw the mane six plus Luna staring at him together.
"I'm gonna go home" Ed said smiling as he began walking down the mountain path passing the group.
"But Ed-" Twilight stopped as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Pinkie Pie with a serious expression on her face. She looked back to the human and watched as he walked with his hands in his pocket.
1 Hour Later
Ed used his key to enter the apartment instead of climbing through the window and was greeted by M.
"Hey Ed how was your trip?" M asked as she saw the human smile at her.
"It was cool" Ed said as he walked past her and up to his room.
M immediately knew something was wrong and followed him. She phased through the 2nd floor and saw that Ed was already entering his room. She was going to call out to him but saw the dead look on his face as he was closing the door. She stopped and sighed.
"Oh Ed"
Edward Elric
Inside his room he saw that Spitfire had fell asleep on his bed as it was almost nighttime and smiled. He stopped smiling as he turned to Octavia and saw that she was sitting on the floor at the table. She had her katana against the wall away from her so it put Ed at ease as he came and sat down across from the Violinist.
"Why are you here?" Ed asked nonchalantly as he threw his bag to the side of the room.
"A marefriend can't hangout with her love" Octavia said in her usual monotone tone.
"First, were not dating, Second, don't bullshit me right now because I'm this close to throwing out that window with all the shit I put up with you" Ed said making a little inch with his thump and finger.
"And third, if you ever fight me again, I won't hold back, I'm done with you" Ed said as he gave the mare a cold stare.
Octavia sat there motionless till an idea popped in her head.
'Wait... you've been holding back all this time?" Octavia asked causing Ed to smirk.
"Haven't you" He said smugly causing the mare's eye to twitch.
All of a sudden Octavia was up and stepping to get her Katana as she aimed to get it. But Ed was done playing around as he was already at her side as she leaned to get it and sent a kick to her stomach knocking all the air out of her. She fell to her knees and arms as she tried to breath. She looked up to Ed and saw a dead panned look on his face.
"I'm done with you" Ed said emotionless as he sent a fist to the mares face knocking her out as she fell to her front on the floor. Ed just sighed as he walked to the king size bed and laid beside Spitfire. He closed his eyes and let sleep take him as he let his mind clear of all thoughts.
Author's Note
This Chapter was an okay chapter for me. I don't know about Octavia though and her short tempered self but I need to hurry up and get this plot and stuff going because I need to [Super Important Stuff Here]
