The Fullmetal Human : Another World
Chapter 26 - That was a Friend?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Jeez I wonder why Twilight isn't living in here?" Ed thought to himself as he walked slowly forward in the library looking all around him.
There must have been about a hundred thousand books or something, it was a literal librarian wet dream. One main floor almost a mile long, and two more levels above that. Chalk full of stacked book cases that needed ladders to get anything past the first couple of shelf's and even a electronic pad every other end cap to help you find what your looking for. Ed was impressed, he might just come here and read every free day he gets, or maybe come and hide here when he wants to be avoided. He saw that the place had nice little lounge areas with comfy chairs and even beanbags. Hell there was even a Darbucks, totally not like the Starbucks back in his world but they had there own little shop in the middle of the main floor, he couldn't see if there was another Darbucks upstairs be he didn't feel like checking as he sped up his pace to a normal one and headed towards the Darbucks. As he walked along in the library, he saw that there was barely anyone one in there, actually he stopped and took a look around seeing that there was actually nobody in the library. He was going to yell to see if someone said 'shh' but he decided against it and continued to walk towards the Starbucks look alike. As he neared it he saw a cute employee with a hat saying, 'remember to tip'. The lady perked up from whatever she was doing and smiled as he approached the register.
"Hello Sir, would you like to try out our new Vanilla Bean Frappuccino?" She asked as Ed raised a brow at her appearance.
For someone who was assigned a job working at a little Starbucks clone, they sure did look ready to hit the scene. Painted nails and nice miniskirt, stockings from what Ed could see and also some nice cleavage that Ed had to avoid looking at the instant he got to the register, there whole getup was professional black but they looked too good to be working at a little coffee shop. He pulled out his wallet seeing that he had no money to buy anything or to tip but shrugged as he thought of using his powers to summon up some money but halted that thought as another idea popped into his head.
"Hi, yes I would love to try that out but you see I have no money" Ed said showing the lady his wallet as he opened the dollar department wide open showing her nothing but dust.
"But I do have is a free wish I can give you" Ed said all the while smiling.
The lady tilted her head for a second having a confused look before scoffing and giving Ed a smug look. "Oh yeah short stuff, and how do I use this free wish?"
Ed just grinned ignoring the lady's 'short' comment. "Well let's say I'm being serious, what would your wish be, and be serious here, I might just grant it" Ed said while wiggling his hands acting silly.
"Hm" The lady hummed. "Well I guess if I did ever want to wish for something... if would be to happiness"
Ed blinked at that, he was sure he could grant some random lady he meet any wish they wanted, but the wish itself was a little hard in his opinion. But beggars cant be choosers.
Ed leaned on the counter and sighed. "You know I was expecting something along the lines of an object or maybe money, but happiness? That's never been my strong suit in the slightest."
The lady chuckled. "Well that's my wish, I just want to be happy" She said while giving a soft smile at Ed while crossing her arms .
"How do I make someone-" Ed's train of thought was cut off as a sort of ringing sound was played out into the back of his mind.
Like one of those hanging door bells that ring when you open the door. It rung just once as Ed's unleashed mode turned on by itself and the lady noticed his eyes turning flash blue.
"Whoa!? What's up with your eyes?" She asked a little startled by his eyes suddenly changing.
"Oh ah, sorry it usually doesn't do... this?" Ed was frozen as he saw a white and yellow essence coming out of woman like an aura, he felt, happy... and for some reason he felt for once in his life like he was, pure and innocent. He was confused as to how he was doing this till he felt time stopped around him.
"This this my power" Truth said as she faded in next to the woman in front of him.
"You can see and feel people's inner spirit, it's usually there mood but if there's just enough of something you can see it all"
Ed nodded at that as Judgement faded in on the other side of the woman and snapped his fingers. "And this is my upgrade for this ability"
All of a sudden a name appeared up above the lady's head, the name Mary Bridger. He blinked before looking back to Judgement.
"With this little upgrade you'll be able to see there name, you could do a lot more than that but for now let's keep it simple alright" He said as he made a little wave with his hand as he faded back out.
"You now have the ability called aura sight, you can use this with unleashed mode or your upgraded eye, either way it'll let you see someone's inner-self and there name, Ciao" Truth said as she clapped her hands together bowing before fading out and resuming back time.
Ed just huffed before smirking. "Well thanks for the little tutorial you two, always nice to have stuff explained to me"
"No problem"
With that out of the way he looked back to the woman in front of him still staring at his eyes and made a soft smile.
"Your already happy Mary Bridger, there's nothing I can do for you" Ed said as he made a little bow as an apology.
"Huh... how did you know my name" She asked even more confused now.
Ed just stood straight as he noticed the tip jar and saw a dollar in it with some other change in it. "How about I show you a magic trick instead of granting you a wish you already have"
"Wait but... oh why not, but you better tell me why your eyes turned blue and how you know my name" She said while huffing and crossing her arms trying to seem mad.
A Minute Later
Ed was drinking his nice Vanilla Bean Frappuccino as he was walking through one of the aisles in the huge library . He was slowly sipping his drink till he felt something starring at him. He turned around and looked to see if the cafe girl was behind him but didn't see her. He sensed that she was still at her little circle counting her little 'tip' that he left her. Ed moved his head back forwards but on the way spotted something behind the book case he was beside. He leaned down a little to see what was beside him and only saw a white paper attached to some kind of blue wall.
There were words on the paper that read, "Police Telephone, free for public use..." Ed read out loud.
"Well where's the phone?" Ed pondered out loud as he couldn't see much of the blue wall.
"Sorry Ed, warping through universes and syncing both together really wore out the Tardis, so cut her a little slack for the parking will ya"
Ed blinked as he heard a womanly voice talking to him as he turned and looked down the aisle. Standing at the end of it leaning against the book case was a very sultry looking woman who was dressed in all black from head to toe like they just went to a funeral, she also looked like she was in her 30's.
"The Tardis... wait, but your not the Doctor?" Ed said as he approached the lady cautiously.
"No I'm not" She said with a giggle as she played with a loose hair that wasn't in a bun. "He's currently tied up in the bed with a ball gag in his mouth"
Ed blinked as he stopped just a couple feet from her and titled his head. "So than who are you then?"
"Well Ed my boy, we haven't met yet and etc but the Doctor was on his way here to do a favor for that blond mare named uh, Derpy if I remember correctly, but either way I tagged along when he wasn't looking and decided to come see you when I learned what his current objective was" The lady said as she let down her hair, letting it all down past her shoulders.
"Okay, but you haven't answered my question yet?" Ed asked still unsure of this lady's relationship with the Doctor, or himself for that matter.
"Oh Ed I'm getting to that" She giggled as she began walking towards him slowly.
"Back when you first met me, you called me by the name you selected for me, if kind of ticked me off that you never actually used my proper name, but now that were meeting for the first time I'd like to correct that" The lady said as she walked too close to Ed making him back up now towards one of the book cases at the end of the aisle.
"Stop building up this suspense and tell-ack!"
Ed's words were being choked as the mysterious lady had suddenly grabbed his throat and started pushing him back. Ed couldn't reach to lady as her arms were too long and his feet were dragging as she held him firmly. He had barely got his hands around her wrist before his back was slammed into the book case behind him. Thankfully only a few books fell off and the actual book case didn't fall over.
Before he could do anything to counter the woman he saw her move suddenly like a blur and only felt a tongue pushing against his own in his mouth. He blinked and looked as he saw her french kissing him while relieving some of the pressure on his neck. Ed could barely breath as this woman played with him as she willed. He could barely fight as her death grip could easily choke him to death as he let her have her way with himself. Eventually the woman pulled back slowly as a string of saliva could be seen attached from mouth to mouth.
The woman smiled as Ed was huffing and burning red with embarrassment. "And you look like me when we first met Ed boy"
Ed was just about to kick this lady's ass before she licked the saliva string and sucked it up in her own mouth then grinning like a sadistic lunatic.
"I'm the Master, this is just a preview of what's in store for me and you in the future, I hope you liked it because were gonna have lots of fun you and I, oh and the Doctor will be paying a visit soon so make sure to stay healthy now, ta-ta~" She said before suddenly fading out in a blue holographic light.
Ed with no death grip around his neck now, fell to the floor and breathed long and hard. He leaned over a little to see if the Tardis was still there but saw that it was gone from the aisle over. He sat there for a while just regaining his breath before looking beside him and reading the title of one the books that fell off the book case.
How to train your Dom/Sub...
Ed just snapped his fingers making all the books go back up and into there designated spots as he began to stand up. Before all the books went into the shelfs he held out his hand grabbing the How to book as he sighed and started walking away with it.
"I have a long future ahead of me" Ed thought as he wondered were he put his little drink at.
Thankfully he saw the Darbucks drink still on the shelf he had set it on before the Master had struck her little stunt. He thanked his Teacher for the quick reflexes she gave him. He picked up his drink as he passed it and sipped on it some more deciding now to sit somewhere close to the Darbucks circle cafe and do nothing but read the book he had and hope to god it saves him in the future. As he entered the main big area for walking about and such he noticed that the lady was gone from Darbucks and even her tip jar was gone too. Ed thought nothing of it as he guessed that she probably retired or went to go deposit the amount of money he had given her. Ed shrugged as he went to sit in the nearest seat he could find.
Ed froze as he heard some light footsteps getting rapidly closer.
"Hey asshole! This is for my boyfriend!"
Ed's instinct kicked in as he leaned forward and right as he felt the wind move fast behind him. He twirled around and stood defensively as whoever charged him missed and now stood in front of him. He looked and saw a woman, this time in her 20's and wearing a lot of pink, business wear with a semi short skirt and metal bat in hand to boot. And boy did she not look happy.
"I'm sorry I just got done meeting a uh- friend of sorts, and you are?" Ed asked kind of ticked off some random pink woman just almost hit his back or possible his head in with a bat.
"My name is Cadance, and you embarrassed my boyfriend" She said angrily as she twirled the bat quickly before charging him.
"Oh great"
