"This mustn't register on a emotional level"

Octavia

It was still bright out as Octavia moved among the street, she had taken a jacket from Pinkie as she kept her hood on and her cello bag on her back. She had never visited this part of Canterlot but didn't have time to scout the area as she lost track of Ed coming down this way. Nearing some finished buildings she noticed a green unicorn coming her way, mare to be exact as she noticed the face and body. She slowly drifted to the side inch by inch till she was a reasonable distance so the mare wouldn't see her face. Within seconds they passed each other and Octavia was back on Ed's trail again.

"Keeping your distance I see"

Octavia instantly turned around and clutched her cello bag ready to fight as she faced the green mare, only to notice she wasn't there behind her.

"A normal pony wouldn't have noticed"

She heard the mare behind her and quickly turned again while tapping her cello bag unlocking it. Fully turned she went to grab her katana but noticed that it was gone and then realized that the green mare in front of her had it in her hands. Octavia back stepped taking a defensive stance as she trained her eyes on the mare eyeing her katana.

"But were not normal ponies you and I" The green mare said as she stopped eyeing the katana and tossed it back to her.

Octavia caught the katana as it came within her reach and twirled it to the offensive as she aimed the tip towards the mare. She stood there staring as neither one of them moved. Seconds passed as no one said anything. Then Lyra smiled.

"Well it was nice meeting you Octavia, sorry we couldn't meet normally, oh and I think Ed might need some back up, not to sure though" The green mare said as he held a finger to her chin pondering to her self.

Just then Octavia ears picked up a sound not to far from them sounding like glass breaking. She looked back to the mare who was still smiling and mentally grunted.

Taking in a breath she started walking as she twirled her sword letting it rest by her side as she walked past the mare. As she came side by side to her she quickly took in her face and details. All that she got from them was that she was a young as her and that she never met the mare before. With that she walked on and headed towards the sounds coming from a alleyway nearby.

As she turned down it she made a slight jog reaching the end of the alley in quick time just to hear a window breaking next to her. She watched as a stallion hit the ground hard with glass around him. She noticed that there was more of them as she saw another stallion fly out the already broken window from the building to her right and land on one of the many stallions outside. She saw that all the stallions were either passed out or in too much pain to get up. She walked around and them and two the front of the building as she looked up and read the places name in her mind.

"The Side, wonder what Ed's doing here?"

Just before she could think of anything she saw one of the stallions start to get up. As he rolled to his front he started to get up using his hands to push himself to his knees. As he was almost up he suddenly felt the cold edge of a blade slide slowly by his neck. He slightly looked up careful not to cut himself as he stared into the eyes of a mare.

"Sit" Was all she said.

Edward Elric

With one last punch to the face, Ed watched as the stallion he was fighting drfited backwards breaking the table behind him as he fell on it. He felt the wind suddenly shift behind him causing his instinct to kick in as he quickly leaned to the left as he saw a fist fly over his shoulder. With that he grabbed the arm the fist belonged to and quickly used the stallions own momentum to flip him over and onto the ground. The stallion landed with a grunt and slowly shook it off only to see a foot come towards his face as he started to get up. Ed's foot connected knocking the stallion unconscious as his body became still on the floor.

Ed scoffed. "This is everyone?"

Ed looked around the room seeing stallions groaning or sleeping as they laid all over the floor. He had made quick time using the environment to his advantage as he saw broken chairs, tables and pieces of glass from the windows and beer bottles he had broken. Ed was going to start walking upstairs to see bald when he felt a hand grab his leg. He looked down and smirked when he saw the one stallion that called him a little girl. He crouched down and gave a smile.

"Bald's upstairs right?" Ed asked as he watched the stallion lift his face up only to spit in his face.

"Bald ain't worth no little shit's time" The stallion said as Ed wiped the spit off his face before sighing.

"Look's like you gotta learn the hard way" Ed said as he stood back up and started walking towards the bar shaking the stallions hand off as he did.

He picked up his phone off the counter watching as the bartender was still shivering from fear from Ed's display. Ed just held up his hand like a gun pointing it at him before saying "Bang". The stallion just fainted causing Ed to shrug as he brought the phone up to his head.

"Still there?"

"[Yes! What's going on over there!?]"

Ed could hear the confusion in her voice as he looked at the time from his pocket watch.

"How far are they away?"

"[There almost there, Ed whats going on!?]"

"Just wait a little longer, oh and one more thing"

Upstairs

"Sir there's no more noise" A stallion said as he pressed his ear against the door to the outside hall.

"No shit idiot! I could hear the yelling from here!" Bald said as he paced back and forth in his office.

"Do you think they got h-"

Just before the stallion at the door could finish his sentence the wooden door blew open with another stallion flying through it. Bald jumped as he heard the sudden noise and turned to look as he saw a red hooded figure enter the room. As he walked in he stopped near the two stallions on the floor passed out on each other and crouched down.

"Capacity to spit at back of head, neutralized" The figure said as he patted the stallion on his back as he laid there groaning.

With that he stood back up and turned to him. Bald didn't move as the figure slowly made his way to him.

"Do you know Diamond Tiara..."

"What?" Bald said as he backed up against the wall only to hit the window as he turned around and looked out it seeing the sun slowly lower as it hit sunset. He looked back and only saw a blur as he felt a hand wrap around his neck lifting him up from the ground a little.

"Why do you want Diamond Tiara dead!" The figure said as his voice scared him.

"Her -ack- Father!" Bald choked out as the he suddenly felt the hand release him as he fell to the floor grasping for air.

"What does this have to do with her Father!" The figure said as he felt the kick connect with his stomach.

Bald lost even more air as he rolled to his back trying to breath and deal with the pain. He felt the hand again but this time on his shirt as he was lifted up to the figure's face. Bald couldn't make the face out as the sun was going down and the shadows blocked the figures face.

"Tell me!"

"BECAUSE HE'S RICH!" Bald shouted feeling anger well up inside him.

"He always had so much money, with the brat gone his life would crumble, and the money... mine"

The figure waited for a second before responding. "Your trying to kill his daughter so you can get his money?"

"Yes! He would lose his business and have no other choice but to hand it off for money!"

The figure just let him go as they stood straight walking away him a few steps with his back turned.

"Don't you see, it's the perfect-"

"Did you get all that..." The figure asked as he fished something out of his red jacket.

A second later he brought out what looked like a phone and raised it out for Bald to see and tapped the screen.

"[Yes... take him in]" A voice said from the phone as it was obviously on speaker.

With that he tapped the screen again ending the call as he put the phone back into his pocket.

"Gladly..." The figure said as he turned around slowly taking a look at him before stepping forward.

Outside

"..."

In a line were a group of stallions with there hands on there head as they sat on there knees looking down as Octavia watched over them with a cold stare. Her ear flickered as she heard some marching coming her way and casually looked to her right seeing a group of guards arrive. As they approached her they looked at the stallions sitting still looking terrified then at her.

"You Edward Elric?" One asked.

As the stallion spoke glass could be heard breaking close as a stallion suddenly fell from the sky to the floor. The impact was loud as everyone there looked and saw the broken window from the 2nd floor as a red hooded figure came diving out of it. As it neared the ground it did a flip landing on its feet as it was already making there way towards the stallion poorly crawling away.

"That's Edward Elric" Octavia said as she swung her katana to the side still looking at Ed as she got an "eep" from a stallion about to sprint off next to her.

She then looked to her left at one of the guards and nodded to the stallions on the ground before getting a fast nod from the guard.

"Round them up and cuff em" The guard said as he made a hand sign to the guards causing them all to move to the criminals.

With that underway Octavia looked back to Ed making his way slowly to the stallion who was bleeding and scared from what she saw. She was about to intervene but felt a hand rest on her shoulder stopping her.

Edward Elric

Ed slowly walked, as the stallion tried to crawl away. But Ed didn't even need to walk to catch up to him, he wasn't going anywhere. Close to Bald he stepped on his hand which he analyzed as broken and got a scream out of the stallion. He put pressure getting more moaning out of the stallion which satisfied Ed dearly. He rubbed his foot on his hand till he felt pleased enough and stepped off it slowly walking to the front of the downed stallion. He crouched grabbing Bald's hair as he did, yanking him up so that he was face to face with him.

"Do you know what it's like... to lose a family member... huh" Ed asked as the stallion groaned something inaudible.

Ed smirked as he slowly chuckled. "No you wouldn't... Because all you care about... IS MONEY!!!"

Ed lifted the stallion by the hair standing him up as he started delivering punches to Balds face.

"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL!" *Punch*

"WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TAKE SOMEONES LIFE AWAY" *Punch*

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW...." Ed pulled his fist back as far as he could as he swung it one last time.

"ABOUT FAMILY"

Ed sent the stallion flying to the ground sliding along it till he came to a stop. Ed breathed hard and heavy as his mind was filled with rage. He went to wipe his forehead from the sweat but paused as he saw the red. As he saw the blood. Ed looked at his right hand as he saw blood splattered all over it as if he had smashed open a can of paint with his bare hands. He looked to the stallion lying on the floor before realizing that he wasn't alone.

He turned to his right and saw not only Octavia but Princess Celestia standing there looking at him with sadness in there eyes. The guards were frozen and so were the thugs they had in cuffs. It was like he was the center of attention and this was his show. He smiled.

"Please... don't look at me like that"

Twilight Sparkle

"Were is that human at" Twilight said outloud as she looked around the main road with ponies walking her and there. He was already late and was going to miss the event that was happening right now. She wanted him to have a good time with his first event here in Equestria but he wasn't here to participate in it. She was going to give his phone another call but then she spotted him. Ed walking the wrong way away from the cafe where they were supposed to meet. She quickly thought that he didn't know were to go and made haste towards him.

"Ed!" She called out.

As she said his name he froze almost to instantly causing her to question what was wrong.

"Ed?" She said worried as she neared him watching his posture change as he quickly took off.

"Ed!?" She yelled watching him take off towards the train station.

"Ed!" She yelled out even louder as she saw him disappear from her sights.

She was about to make chase but stopped as she noticed something on the ground. She crouched down getting a better look at it and saw that it was a red color almost like blood. After further inspection she determined that it was blood as she touched the color feeling a bit of it attach to her finger. She held it up to her face then looked back to the road Ed had ran down and stood back up.

"What are you not telling me Ed?"
