The Fullmetal Human : Another World
Chapter 13 - The Asset
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNow Ed knew the fastest way down was jumping off the building, what he didn't know that were he jumped off there were a bunch of trees blocking his downward path to the ground. As he neared the branches he gritted his teeth and gave a short laugh as he knew this was going to hurt. As he made contact with the first branch he quickly broke it and proceeded to bounce off and break the branches below in his quick decent downward.
"OW- FUCK- SHIT- FUCK- SHIT- FUCK- SH-" Ed's continuous complaining stopped as his precious gems were suddenly making sweet love with the hard firm woody branch he was laying on.
"That's going to hurt for the rest of the day" Ed croaked out as he began to slide off the branch quickly hitting the floor as he laid sprawled out in agony. He slowly curled up putting his hands into his crotch as he rolled around slowly.
"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Ed groaned as he felt himself internally crying.
"EVERYBODY GET OUT"
Ed snapped out of his bitching as he lifted himself up a bit catching people exiting the building in a hurry. They had all worried expressions on their faces, some even scared as all the of them were women without guns. He sighed heavily as he still had his unleashed mode turned on and was going to get up but suddenly he felt his power just, turn off suddenly. The pain to his crotch deepened and Ed almost fell to the ground as he caught himself using his arm to hold himself up while keeping a hand on his crotch. He felt a few tears exit his eyes and noticed that his body hurt just a tad bit. He huffed out as he slowly began to rise.
He heard the woman saying "Go go go" or "Hurry". He guessed whatever was happening was going on inside as he was now on his feet. He began to slowly walk getting used to his pain before he noticed something odd. Out of everyone running, there was a little girl with green hair walking on the sideline of those running out of the building. Ed noticed she had on a white lab coat that dragged on the floor and was bare-footed as she walked slowly as if she was weak or tired. Ed looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this girl, or the fact that nobody was accompanying her. He frowned at this as he quickly walked over to her removing his hand from his crotch and dusting himself off.
"Hey little lady" Ed called out as the girl suddenly stopped and her demeanor changed.
She was suddenly still almost like she just got caught, her face was unreadable like she was trying to keep a front. Ed just found all this weird as he approached her. She didn't even look at him as he walked up to her.
"Where are you parents?" He asked trying to hurry as he had somewhere to be.
"Don't have any, and I'm not with anybody either" The green haired girl said as she didn't look at him but remained forward.
Ed was about to say something as she turned her head to him but screaming suddenly came from within the building as he whipped his head and saw that fewer woman were not exiting the building. The place probably only monster hunters now but Ed still needed to hurry just in case anyone got hurt. Turning his head back to the girl he noticed that she was rubbing her eyes with her sleeve that looked soaked. Ed examined the lab coat she had on and saw that it was wet and that she was naked underneath it as well.
"Hey listen to me, I'll be right back okay, don't go anywhere, I need to make sure you get home safely okay, if somebody comes and gets you that's fine, but don't leave this spot okay" Ed said as the girl finished rubbing her eyes and said "Okay" with a blank expression.
Quickly clapping his hands he put a hand one on her shoulder making a little tingle of tingle of magic flow through his palm as the little girls coat began to dry. She noticed it too as she watched the original dry color re-appear. That wasn't all he did as the coat began to shrink, fitting the girl more appropriately as it no longer dragged on the ground. The girl was speechless as her eyes were wide with fascination. She then looked up to Ed as he smiled and patted her head.
"I'll be back okay, just wait!" He said as he took off going into the building as he passed a few woman exiting.
The girl just blinked before looking back down at her coat. She brought a hand up touching the spot were Ed put his hand on and hummed. Looking around she went to the trees nearby and hid as she decided to wait for the mysterious man to come and get her.
Inside
Ed moved quickly through the large building as shouting could be heard close as Ed honed in on the location of the sounds. He was close to the main lobby as he saw the escalator again when he came in with Spike earlier that day. Instead of taking it he jumped along the railing of it as he moved quickly along it arriving at the top shortly jumping off at the end. He found the source of the sounds as a large circle of women were standing in the lobby. He quickly spotted Twilight at the edge of the group looking worried and panicky as she seemed to be trying not to freak out. Ed rushed to her side as she saw him approaching her and quickly turned to him.
"Ed please you have to help me!" She pleaded as she looked like she was about to break down.
"What's wrong Twilight!?" He asked as he looked past her and tried to see what was happening in the inner circle of the large ring the women were forming. He saw that they all had their guns out and ready to fire as the ones in back had them aimed down in an idle position.
"I need to see what's going on" He said as Twilight nodded and turned around to the circle as she began ordering people to make way.
Ed put up his sense as he walked behind Twilight and found that two life forms were in the middle of the huge circle as he put it down to see who it was. Twilight wasn't making much progress navigating through the crowd of women until.
"Move out of the damn way!" She yelled as woman instantly jumped and parted to the sides giving Ed and her a clear path to the middle. As Ed followed Twilight she froze as they saw what was happening. In the middle of the large circle was Spike and a bipedal looking three eyed monster. Ed's eyes widened as he knew what was about to happen. Firstly the monster was hovering over Spike as he laid on the ground supporting his back up with his arms as he looked scared shitless. Secondly all the women in the inner circle had their guns trained at the monster but Spike was to close and might get hit. Third a lot of them were shaking as the monster itself looked terrifying to say the least and Ed guessed that some of these women haven't even been out in the field yet. So lastly if anybody fired, a lot of them would join in, and since they were in a circle, some of them might even hit each other.
Ed looked to Twilight who was looking around at everybody and just drawing the conclusion now as she yelled out "Don't shoot you'll hit the boy!"
Next to them Ed and Twilight saw a woman shaking a lot as she was sweating and breathing hard. She was panicking, and as she raised her gun at the monster Twilight's eyes widened.
"NOOooooooooo" Twilight's voice slowed down as Ed watched the woman pull the trigger, and as she did the music began.
Ed turned on unleashed mode as he walked past Twilight pulling the sheathed katana she had in her left hand casually out, as he twirled it around he sighed as he saw all the women that were firing and the red lines the bullets trajectory were making as some of them hit Spike. He began walking as he started to quickly slice the bullets he saw were hitting Spike and any women as his hand was a blur slicing them in half and over all stopping their momentum as the lines disappeared one by one. Eventually all the women that had fired and missed the monster now were taken care of as Ed smiled and spun the katana to rest on his shoulder as he walked to the monster and took his position. He aligned himself properly to stand with his back against the monster as he made sure none of the bullets that were coming hit him by accident as he wanted to look cool for this next part. Before resuming time he saw that some women completely missed as some bullets went over everyone's heads and just sighed.
"I'm talking to Luna about this next chance I get" Ed said as he shook his head and let time resume exiting out of unleashed mode.
All at once the sound of gunshots going off could be heard as a few bullets could be heard hitting the walls. Most of them were now falling to the ground making a lot of sound as well as the shells too. The bullets that hit the monster didn't really make any sound as it just kind of sunk in. Luckily anyone who shot fired only once as Ed was happy for that. Everybody noticed that Ed was standing with his back to the monster and in all the confusion someone said, "Did he just slice all the bullets in half" As the women began to notice the bullets cut in half laying on the ground. Twilight too noticed that her katana was gone and in Ed's hand as she was dumbfounded.
"First things first, never shoot unless you’re certain you won't hit anybody in the crossfire" Ed said out loud causing the monster to grunt as he turned his head and saw Ed behind him.
"Secondly fire at the base of the body, a lot of you missed and hit the walls up high" Ed said pointing to his chest as some woman in back looked around and saw the bullets in the walls.
"And last but not least" Ed said as he ducked the incoming claw the monster was swinging and stabbed the monster in the stomach stopping his movement as he was stunned for the moment.
"Spike if you would kindly move" Ed said calmly as he turned his head to the boy who just nodded sharply as he got up and ran to Twilight.
Ed removed to the katana from the monsters stomach as he moved to its side letting it stagger forward giving Ed the the perfect view of his back. As the monster caught itself and stood up straight Ed thanked that it wasn't that tall as he held the katana firmly in his hands, raising the katana up and slashing diagonally. The monster stood still for a second as the slice to time to kick in. Then the blood came out, thankfully he made Spike move as the blood came gushing out at him splattering on his vest and pants. Some of it even got on his face as Ed never closed his eyes as he looked straight at the monster. As the blood stopped flying out the monster fell forward with a flop that sounded heavy as the ground shook a bit.
"For a monster that's not tall or even buff looking it sure did make a loud thud" Ed thought as he mentally shrugged and looked to Twilight who was staring at him. Ed noticed that all the women were staring at him silently. A lot with jaw dropping mouths, some with confused faces, the only one who looked impressed and happy was Spike. Ed began walking to Twilight as he raised the katana and swung it to the floor, letting the blood that got on it hit the floor cleaning the blade. He walked beside Twilight letting the katana slide in as he stopped by her side.
"I got to go, some kid's outside waiting for me and I'm going to help her okay" Ed said as Twilight just nodded still looking at the scene in front of her.
"It's still alive, I think, make sure to have people watch it with better guns then pistols, things hard as hell" Ed said as he walked while fishing for something in his vest.
"Hey little bro" Ed called out as Spike began to walk to Ed but saw him throw something backwards as he barely caught it. He looked and saw that it was his shades that he was wearing today and looked back to Ed who was waving while still walking.
"It's going to be sunny all day today, you should wear some shades if you’re going to be driving me to get my extra set of clothes" Ed said as he stepped onto the escalator and disappeared from everybody's sight.
Spike just grinned as he ran to follow Ed down the escalator. Everybody was quiet as they just saw something amazing. It was up to the point where they heard a crashing noise below.
"What's wrong big bro" Spike said as they heard him from the lobby.
"My jewels still hurt" Ed said in a pained voice as Twilight just sighed happily.
"That's going to be my new partner" Twilight said before turning to the monster and pulling out her phone.
