Confrontation

Previous Chapter

Garble, who'd been watching the whole time, jumped out from the shadows. "I'll help." he said.

"No!" Ed shouted. Garble recoiled, taken aback.

"But why?" he asked.

"Homunculi are damn near immortal. You won't be able to take him on. Just make sure Twilight's safe." Ed told him. He wanted to argue, but he knew Ed was right.

"Fine." he said, stepping in front of Twilight.

"Now let's go!" said Greed, running at Ed. Ed clapped his hooves together, and rammed his blade through Greed's chest. Greed jumped back.

"What the hell?" he yelled. Twilight, and Garble watched in horror, and surprise as Greed's wound started to heal. Greed laughed. "Wow kid you're something else!" he said.

"W-What just happened?" asked Twilight.

"I told you a homunculus won't die. They have amazing regeneration capabilities." Ed told her.

"You seem to know more about me than I thought. I'm not ready to fight you just yet. I'll see you later!" Greed called out as he ran away.

"Wait!" yelled Ed, "Who's your master?"

Greed stopped, and laughed. "I have no master. I'm Greed." he said.

"But who's the one that taught you?" Ed asked, "There had to be someone!" Greed laughed again.

"Yes there is. But I'm not telling you." he said, and then ran off.

"Wait dammit!" Ed yelled, but he was gone. He slammed his hoof into the ground. "Dammit!" he yelled again.

"We should get out of here." said Garble. Ed nodded, but Twilight didn't.

"Just how do you know so much about him?" she asked. Ed sighed.

"I was hoping this wouldn't happen." he said, "Fine I'll tell you. I regained my memories some time back."

"What? How long?" she asked.

"About a week ago, when I told you I was an alchemist." he told her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"I didn't think you'd be able to handle it." he said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she yelled.

"I'm sorry. You're right, I should have told you earlier." he said, "I'll tell you now. First you should know I'm not really a pony."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I'm a human." he told her.

"A human!" she said.

"What's a human?" asked Garble.

"A human is a creature of myth. They stand on two legs, are technologically advanced, and are omnivorous." Twilight told him.

"Right." Ed told them.

"But that still doesn't explain anything." Twilight said.

"It all started when our mother died." Ed began.
