Previous ChapterNext Chapter"You think this would get old but it's not"
Ed stood in the abyss again alone and silent. Though this time the only thing lighting the abyss was a single purple orb, shining bright in the darkness, illuminating the path he needed to walk to get to it. Ed took the first step towards the orb. Slowly enough he was within the orbs grasp as he lifted his hand on it. As he was about to touch it when he felt something tug on his back. He put his hand back to his side as he turned around and looked but saw no one there.
"You need to remember"
...
......
.........
"Remember what?" He asked as he looked around wondering who was speaking to him.
...
......
.........
"That your not alone"
As the voice spoke to him he suddenly felt a hand on his, it felt soft and warm. With a slight turn of his head he saw her smiling at him. She guided his hand with her's and put it on the orb making it burst with light. He just stared at her until a smile found its way onto his face.
"What too you so long Twilight?"
Ed blinked and he was suddenly in a room with familiar looking ponies as he felt his feet touch the ground. He awkwardly stood there for seconds as he wondered why he was there. Then it all came back to him. He closed his eyes as the memories came flooding back in. One by one he went through every interaction, every conversation, and anything that happened in his past month here on Equestria. As it did everything he questioned started to click. As his memories played back, every question seemed to line up as he watched his memories through his eyes again.
Ed opened his eyes again, he looked around the room seeing everypony as they stared back at him. He remembered... Celestia found out about the assassins he was taking care of, she questioned him and he simply answered her that he was helping them and that they meant no harm. That wasn't enough, she asked for his watch and for him to partake in a test of sorts, he declined. He only remembered walking away from Celestia before he woke up in that simulator. And now that he was out of it he looked to Celestia as he noticed his watch in her hands.
With a clap of his hands he slapped his chest making his red trench coat appear. He held out his hand as he gave a glare to the Princess.
"My Watch please..." Ed said coldly as everypony froze at his words towards Celestia.
Twilight was the first to speak up. "Wait Ed we don't need to resolve this with violence, I knew what happened with the simulator and I got you out, you see there was a glitch and-"
"That's not what I'm mad about Twilight" Ed said as he lowered his hand to his side and clenched both this hands into fist.
With a snarl on his face he spoke. "I think our Princess knows more than she lets on, isn't that right, Celestia..."
Princess Celestia looked puzzled for a sec as she kept her grasp on the watch. "I don't know what you mean..." She let the sentence hang as her innocent puzzled face turned into a smug eat-shitting grin.
And then she said it, as if this was just one long con the whole time.
"Edward Elric... Son of Discord"
Eds eyes widened.
"How do you know my name"
"Look... Ed.... Your a long way from home..."
"You never talk about your family huh Ed?"
"I needed to know..."
"I did think about that but I am not somepony to share's someones past where it is not my place to"
...
......
.........
And as the words of everything Celestia said to him rang through his head, every conversation they had played back a million times, he suddenly heard a another voice come from the back of his mind that he set aside because he knew it wasn't important, because he knew he could trust the Princess that taught Twilight Sparkle.
"Don't trust Celestia"
Ed stood there with his eyes on Celestia as his mind was racing. Until...
His right hand twitched now and then as he looked down to it, he could feel the magic seeping through it as he slowly open it till he felt it.
He looked back to Celestia as he grinned madly. As someone else spoke for him he let the words roll out of his mouth.
"It's time to pass Judgement" Ed said outloud as he snapped his right hand open and a few spark of electricity flowed around it.
Celestias eyes widened at this as she took a step back. But it was too late as Ed was already a inch away from her face with his hand. And that's when everything got blurry.
