FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: TWILIGHT PRINCESS
Chapter 1: Abduction
"Arrrgghh! I can't take it anymore!" A fifteen year blond man wearing a red jacket and long black pants growled in frustration as he walked ahead. "We're lost!"
"Calm down bro, I'm sure we'll soon find our way out" Another person replied beside the blond. This one was taller and wearing a suit of armour, but his voice wasn't so gruff or raspy.
"But we been travelling none-stop and there's not a single firkin' town!" The blond added. Edward Elric was never patient when travelling long. He and his armour young brother, Alphonse was looking for the Philosopher Stone.
"Excuse me, Mr. Edward, but according to the map we seem to be at a place called Faron Woods in the country of Hyrule" Edward's body guard, Denny Brosh clarified as he glanced down at the map back to the Alchemist.
"Hyrule?" Edward asked as he looked over his shoulder to Brosh.
"Haven't you heard about this country Fullmetal Alchemist, sir?" Another body guard, female named Maria Ross remarked in surprise. "It's an ancient country that uses the principles of the Middle Ages and expands a lot!"
"But the real reason why it's well known is because of the Hero of Time. He saved this country a century ago from the Prince of Darkness, Ganondorf. Wow, just to do it all by himself in this magical land..." Brosh added with a tint of admiration.
Edward simply chuckled in disbelief. "Magic? Yeah right! It's just got to be plain ol' alchemy" He simply said.
"They never said it was alchemy" Brosh said.
The Fullmetal Alchemist turned away and snorted. "Whatever, let's just go find the nearest town all ready! I'm hungry!"
"Big brother, the technology is Middle Ages, so who knows if the food will be as good as you tried" Alphonse stated.
"Nooooo! Thanks for being positive, Al" Edward shouted in defeat and slumped.
"But look on the bright side, at least it's so tranquil and there isn't a lot of people" Alphonse laughed nervously, trying to cheer up his older brother.
Edward growled but then straightens up and sighed madly. "Let's just keep going!"
"There should be a village somewhere near Faron Woods, Mr. Edward" Brosh explained.
"There better be, or this would be the lousiest country in the world!" He replied madly.
Everyone sweat dropped at this but continue their walking pace. As they kept their pace, the trees started to decease and more of the light brown earth was shown on the ground. Animals such as deer and birds looked at the strangers walking by and even grew frightened of Alphonse that the deer pranced away and the birds flew away. This made Alphonse sigh in defeat. People were never afraid of him, but some animals were. Even tho he could never show emotion he could feel his sadness. Oh how he was so excited to get back his body. The group walked through a wooden bridge and kept continuing.
"Sheesh, there's not a single person in sight. How can this be a country without people?" Edward complained.
"Now, now, I'm sure we'll find someone soon, Mr. Edward" Ross reassured.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID AN HOUR AGO! IF WE DON'T-" Edward shouted.
"Hey, look there's someone over there" Brosh pointed out.
The Fullmetal Alchemist turned and Brosh was right. About two meters ahead was a 14 year old sandy pinned head blond girl with hazel eyes, a white skirt, orange long pants and a pouch walking ahead. Beside her was a dark-red horse with a white mane and tail. Yellow eyes from Edward flashed in idea and he grinned.
"Finally! We may be able to find proper directions!" He laughed in triumph and walked ahead while the others stood still.
"Big brother, show some maturity!" Alphonse called in irritation.
The girl known as Ilia walked ahead, holding the reins of Epona with a sadden yet rather angry look. How dare Link hurt Epona after telling him not to push her! Some may think she's exaggerating but she isn't! On the bright side taking Epona to the spring would cure her wound. She gave a low sigh.
"Hiya!" Ilia looked up to see Edward approaching with a cheeky grin and a wave. "Mind if you tell me where the next village is? You see I'm sort of in a hurry"
"Sorry, but I can't help you know" Ilia simply replied fiercely but softly and shoved Ed passed who held his mouth agape like a fish.
Alphonse, Brosh and Ross soon caught up with Edward who twitched in anger.
"Big brother?" Alphonse nervously began.
Edward then blew it. "WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? HOW DARE SHE IGNORE ME! Wait till she feels the wrath of me, the Fullmetal Alchemist! Bwhhha, ha, ha!" He yelled that birds chirped and their feathers scattered as they flew away.
"Aren't you taking this a bit too seriously bro?" Alphonse required.
"TOO seriously? Al, I just asked a simple question for directions, KINDLY, and she totally ignores me!" He simply yells.
'And I always thought that calling him with the word short made him this angry' Alphonse thought sadly but slightly amused.
"Fullmetal sir, we both have to agree with your brother" Brosh and Ross said in unison
"I don't care! She's goin' down!" Edward huffed madly then stomped away.
He then reached into the spring, still huffing madly. The spring was smaller than most people would think with nice plants around the clearing and a bunch of huge rocks with weird symbols were on top a small waterfall that made the only sound. Ed turned and saw the girl and another person.
One was about nine with short blond hair, a white shirt and blue pants looking up at her. Ed stomped more but paused when she began talking.
"I guess you prefer your old master then me, Epona," Ilia muttered softly and narrowed her hazel eyes in sadness. "Alright Link, she's all yours"
Edward glanced around to find this Link person and he soon noticed him on the right. He was about his age with sandy blond hair, sky blue eyes, white shirt with a green-blue skirt and sandals looking at Ilia and the boy, Colin. Edward growled in defeat; he was shorter, again.
"But promise me one think," Edward turned to Ilia who paused with her eyes closed. After three seconds of silence she looked up with a smile. "Promise me you won't do anything out of the ordinary"
Edward turned back Link who raised his eyes brows in shock but smiled and nodded. "I won't"
Once the conversation was over Edward came in, his feet in the spring that send ripples in the crystal clear water. "All right! I came here to get revenge!" Ilia, Colin and Link turned to the alchemist in shock. "You didn't answer my question! Do you even know who I am!"
Alphonse and the two other body guards came in with the armour man shaking his hands.
"Forgive me for my brother's behaviour, but he can get short tempered" Alphonse sighed as he explained.
"He seems shorter then Link. Is he older than him?" Colin asked to Ilia.
Edward fumed and yelled madly. "DON'T CALL ME SHORT! AND I'M FIFTHEEN!"
Colin gave a scandalized gasp in fright and hid behind Ilia. "S-sorry" 'He is quite tempered'
Ilia sighed and looked up at the blond man. "No, it's my fault for not answering a simple question," She reassured. This seems to make Edward calm a bit. "Just follow the path and you'll head to a village"
Edward smiled and cheered. "Ya-hoo! Finally after walking for a hell of a long time, we finally get to a village!"
His brother chuckles slightly at this but pauses uncertain. Edward stops laughing and frowns. The earth was shaking. Ed looked down to see the water ripple, getting more frantic. 'Can't be an earthquake'
Everyone turned behind and saw something approach. It was some sort of leaf green goblin wearing grey armour, a two horned helmet, shoulder guards and knee pads riding a huge black boar with blood red eyes. He was followed by other that were dresses in a dark brown tunic, a quiver behind their backs and a navy blue gags covering their mouths. Everyone gave scandalized gasps. "Or maybe not!"
As one approached at incredible speed, Edward clapped his hand, lowered them to the ground and something happened. Huge walls appeared which made everyone look in disbelief. Edward grinned but frowned when the walls were smashed by the boar like it was nothing.
"Whoa!" He shouted and leaped backwards before the tusk could meet his skin.
The alchemist skidded back until he was against the huge rock at the spring. 'Dang it!'
Brosh and Ross tried to get out their pistols but in a snap of a finger the boar slashed its tusk at their arms which shot the pistols skidding away. A guard shoved past, got out his bow, took an arrow out his quiver and fired at Ilia who got shot and collapsed to the ground like a doll. Link gasped and went to help only to be hit by a club at the back of his head. He grunted and collapsed too. Edward noticed that everyone was dropping like flies that he was about to use alchemy again but was shot in the shoulder. He growled and took it out. But it was distraction as one of the goblins smashed his scalp which made him collapse.
Alphonse went to help his brother but his head got hit by another club. He backed away only to look up at the leader who reared his boar that pinned Alphonse to the ground. It looked around to see his guards holding onto the unconscious people except Edward and Link. Once cleared it blowed in a horn hard in the air. Up in the sky a black and red symbol portal opened. After that, the boss-goblin reared his boar again, used the reins to turn and retreated along with the others who crossed the bridge, the hooves pounding the earth like thunder. Edward groaned as he painfully got up, rubbed his scalp and moaned.
"Ow, my head"
Link soon got up, rubbing the back of his head. Alphonse pushed himself up and glanced over to his brother. After that, Edward growled in anger.
"What the hell was that about!" The Fullmetal Alchemist demanded to no one in particular and got up. "Wait till I beat the crap out of those creeps!"
Link gave a scandalized gasp and looked around the area in shock. "Ilia, Colin!"
Once Link realized that his two friends were kidnapped, he quickly sprinted out of the spring area out the gate area and turned right. Edward noticed and followed.
"That guy should know where to find those goblin freaks!" He shouted as he ran after Link.
"But big brother! We don't know how many there are!" Alphonse called as he ran after his brother.
Link soon crossed the bridge along with Edward. As they ran they skidded to a halt and looked up in disbelief and shock. In front of them was a huge black door with orange swirl symbols.
"W-what the heck is that?" Ed whispered in amazement.
Alphonse soon caught up. "Bro! Don't be so-" He paused when he noticed the wall.
Out of the wall two huge hands extended, one swiping on the right to left, gripping Edward and Link who both screamed and shock and was dragged into the wall along with Alphonse. Once the three were in they were being chocked by a black creature with a stone mask, tentacles coming out its head and red symbols.
Alphonse felt weak that he stopped moving and his eyes faded away and they turn green with huge fear. Ed and Link squealed as they were being crushed to death that nothing could be done. Suddenly at the back of Link's hand, three triangles that meet at the points glowed a golden colour. The creature screeched and chucks the two blonds away and covered its mask. Both boys grunted when they hit the ground.
"W-why th-that...!" Edward grumbled but felt too weak to actually speak.
Link kept gasping and swaying side to side from a huge pain engulfing his body like flames along with Edward who now was panting. Both screamed and one turned into a wolf and one turned into a fox. Both eyes from wolf and fox were pupil-less, and then they collapsed slowly like a puppet being put down. Alphonse just stood there slightly frightened. The creature took Ed and Link by the ankle and dragged and others who came forced Al to follow. Little to anyone an imp was watching keenly and curiously.
