Edward stared the Orc down, he was big and ugly, exactly like the soldiers at Briggs. This would be an interesting fight.
‘You took out my men. Now I’m going to take you out.’ The orc said rather calmly as he slammed his axe to the ground, causing it to crack and crumble as it did so. Ed looked at the axe with sheer fear before turning his attention back to the Orc. His look of fear switched to that of a grin with an underlying annoyance that showed his opponent that he wasn’t afraid of his enemy. This made the Orc angry as most he had come across had been fearful of him, and those who weren’t he had killed and made examples of.
‘Still not as threatening as the soldiers at Briggs.’ Edward sighed as he raised his shoulders, gave a shrug, turned his head and looked at the ground in disappointment, hoping to infuriate his enemy. An attempt with which he’d succeeded with, taking a quick glance, Edward noted the Orc’s facial expressions of one who was becoming angrier with each passing second. This was good for Edward, if his enemy was quick tempered, then he’ll make mistakes during the fight, attacking sporadically rather than logically. Ed turned back to the Orc and – with his bored and disappointed facial expression – looked to the sky.
‘Well… I guess we can fight. If you want to.’ Edward sighed, causing a fury to burst from the Orc as he did so.
‘I’m going to chop you up!’ The Orc yelled as he Charged Edward. Edward’s look of boredom switch to that of fierceness as he quickly transmuted the Plate on his right automail arm into an Arm Blade. The hulking orc moved unnaturally fast for someone so large, he reminded Edward of the Homunculus, Sloth... but add the war axe.
‘He’s fast for a creature of his size.’ Edward thought to himself as he jumped into the air, landing on and pushing off the top of the Orc’s head. As Ed landed, he was greeted by the Orc’s fist, his enemy had extended his arm and twisted backwards in an attempt to catch Edward off guard. Edward was, however, able to react in time, effectively catching the Orc’s arm with a block from his right, automail arm. Edward gritted his teeth as he threw the Orc’s arm back and spun around to face his opponent. As the Orc charged him, in an attempt to close any distance between the two. Edward cartwheeled to the left, striking the arm with the war axe in it and slicing deep into the Orc’s fore arm. Ed watched as the blood spilled from the open wound and onto the dusty ground. As the two stood there, Edward holding his hand on his head to stop the hot waves of wind from blowing it all over the place, the bandit leader grasping at his arm as he felt the pain of his open wound.
‘There, that should keep him-’ Edward said as he was cut off by the image of a war axe flying past his face. Edward launched himself backwards, landing a few feet from where he had originally stood.
‘Ahh… that was close!’ Edward sighed in a high pitched voice that showed his content with being alive. As the Orc began to stand up, Ed took his chance and brought his hands together, then proceeded to slam them to the ground.
‘Take this!’ Edward exclaimed as an electrical bold sparked from the ground and a land slide of spikes began to travel towards the Orc. It didn’t take long for his battle transmutation to reach the Orc, as the landslide collided with him, he was thrown backwards, pieces of stone imbedded within his stomach and chest. It was safe to say that Edward had won his first official fight within this new world.
‘Like I said... not... as tough as the soldiers at Briggs.’ Edward puffed as he caught his breath and looked down upon the unconscious, partially mutilated body.
‘When you wake up, I can refer you to a good Automail mechanic…’ Edward laughed as he remembered Winry, his attitude switching from happy to sad in the blink of an eye. He’d been forced to leave everyone behind, he wondered if they would be alright without him. As Edward thought about his world, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Edward turned around ready to attack but was greeted with the smiles of small children and adults.
‘Thank you for saving our town!’ A small child exclaimed as they all watched Edward transmute his arm back to normal.
‘What? That kid!? But he so short!’ a man called out, causing Edward to violently twitch once as a look of hysterical anger came across his face.
‘I’M NOT SHOOOOORT!’ Edward screamed, his voice echoing throughout the area as the town's people looked at him with scared and slightly confused looks on their faces.
