In the end, it turned out not to be the piece of fluff I was expecting. That's not a good thing. (I think.)
It's also nowhere near as good as I would have liked, but meh.
- #6: Recognize -
"Stop!"
The panicked cry from behind causes Edward to pause and turn, hesitating, his arm-turned-blade barely a millimeter away from Greed's - no, from Ling's neck.
The strip of cloth that contained Ling's message gripped tightly in one hand, a knife in the (trembling) other, Lan Fan runs up to Edward, her mask askew and about to fall off, her hair dishevelled.
Ling, still pinned to the floor, turns his head to watch her arrive. "Oh? Another of your human friends?"
"Young Master, you're safe!" Breathing a sigh of relief, Lan Fan lets the cloth strip fall, fluttering to the ground next to Ling. "But the philosopher's stone..."
"Just let me deal with him, he's a homunculus!" Edward argues, his blade inching closer towards Ling's still-exposed neck.
Her eyes narrowing, Lan Fan engages Edward's arm-blade, twisting it away from its intended path of piercing Ling's throat.
"I'll not let you harm Young Master, no matter what."
"Lan Fan, he's a homunculus now! He was trying to kill me just a while ago!"
"I wouldn't actually have killed you, you know." Ling smirks, meeting Edward's glare with a smug gaze of his own. "Just maybe crippled you a little before bringing you to Father."
"Young Master!" Disraught, Lan Fan only just barely manages to deflect Edward's stab this time. "What... what about Xing?"
Ling opens his mouth to reply, for a moment seeming to go back to his old self, before the self-assured light returns to his eyes. "It'll be part of the world I rule."
Edward slashes downwards, intent on finally striking. Lan Fan jumps forward, catching his arm. Edward turns, manages to stop the blade from stabbing her, tries to push her away. Lan Fan draws her other knife--
Neither of them sees Greed's clawed arm rising swiftly behind Edward.
fin.
Pretty sure Lan Fan's characterization is very off, but I'm not a very big fan, and I'm lazy to go reference the manga... ^^
Edward is very off, but meh.
And now, Zak, you owe me a fic too! xD
