Pondering the Past in this Strange world(Private)

Edward's bloodred coat flapped in the wind as he walked through the harsh desert towards the training ground. Everything in this world felt strange to him, yet he had no choice but to adapt. Al had his body back and thats what matters. Nevermind that He never recovered his arm and leg, his brother was well. He was lucky that he could even use Alchemy in this world. He looked up to the sun, and wondered momentarily if it was the same sun that his brother was looking at. But that was foolish. His brother was in an entirely different realm, absolutely seperate from this. get to close to the sun, and you'll do is burn. This phrase filled his thoughts. He and his brother certainly had tried to get close to the sun, and thusly, they got burned.

After walking for several minutes, he arrived at the training ground. He didn't see anyone around, but he didn't really care. He didn't know anyone here. No friends, allies. Every connection he'd worked so hard to make was lost indefinetely. He had no choice but to forge new ones. For now though, he would train. This training area was an enclosed area, surrounded on all sides by sturdy, hardened sand. He walked up to one of the walls and clasped his hands together. he placed them both on the wall. The wall glowed blue for a few moments, and then a figure stepped from it. It was a perfect practical copy of Ed. That is to say it moved as fast as him, and would fight like him, it was as dull as the sand was, no features at all. And then Ed's mind went blank, and he began fighting this sand copy of himself.

Edward pulled his arm back, ready to punch the animated sand figure when someone called out to him in a somewhat dark tone "How did you do that?" Just then the sand clone punched edward in the face and he flew backwards. "ow!!" he shouted in the air as he spun. he landed on the ground and ran. He clasped his hands together once more, and placed his arms on the sand figure's shoulder's and it dissapeared in a brilliant glow of blue light. Edward turned around to face the ninja who had just more or less appeared. Edward grinned and brushed the sand off his clothing. Not knowing entirely how to answer, he spoke without planning what he would say.

"Umm.. Well, it's uh, it's called Alchemy. I'm not really from around here. It might be why you've never seen it before"

He grinned and put his arms behind his head. He just realized that this guy was a hell of a lot shorter than he was. Maybe this place wasn't so bad after all.

Alchemy.The word was bouncing around aimlessly in his head.What in the world was alchemy?How could God even permit such a power such as that?Though he couldn't complain too much since there were such a thing as "Kekkei Genkais".The fact that people were allowed to have powers as they do was beyond his thinking.For instance there was the Uchiha Clan...a very powerful clan that had the ability to copy jutsu and see your next move.It seemed unfair in the biggest sense.Then there was the Hyuuga Clan that could see through things and spot out the vital parts of your body.The Hyouton, Kaguya, Mokuten, and several others.Then again there was also Cloud's clan that could manipulate medical chakra.Though how special was that?Anyone could be a medical expert really.Now one of the most rarest ones of them all had to be the one that he had just witnessed.Alchemy.

"Please...show me how this alchemy works..."said Cloud unsheathing his Dual Katanas from his back.He waved them around trying his best to make them look flashy.The only reason he was challenging the boy before him was because he was always curious about the things he knew nothing about.Cloud was always willing to learn and he enjoyed it very much."Come forth"

Name: Duel Katanas
Rank: C
Special Abilities: N/A
Origin: Cloud made these thinking that it would be cool to have a pair of katanas.This is what got him involved in Kenjutsu and he began to think of very interesting combos for katanas.

Edward smiled at the shocked/ponderous expression on the ninja's face. They always wondered how alchemy was even possible. With their own heresy against gods, it just didn't seem possible for their to be another. But in essence, Alchemy was far more reasonable then their ninja skills. It made Edward uneasy, the incredible feats they were able to do. But it didn't matter. They had raw power and he had knowledge, and the saying goes that brains are better than brawns.

Just then His opponent spoke to him "Please...show me how this alchemy works...Come forth" Edward smiled and spoke back "I'd be happy to oblige you!" Edward clasped his hands together and they made a large resounding noise. When he split them, there was a small momentary vacuum and a small ball of water surrounded by a brilliant red light. He vaporized the water instantly and the result was a sudden burst of pressure and a flash of red light in the form of a shockwave. if it hit his opponent, he would be knocked back about 10 feet.

The boy was one with strange abilities indeed.He had made a shock wave that was coming for Cloud fast.It was almost like the same thing as ninjutsu pretty much though applied in a different way.Well that is the only way Cloud could explain at this point.The shock wave was made out of wind or air so he quickly put away his Dual Katanas and equipped his Wind Slicer.

He flowed his wind chakra into the handle and it traveled through the whole sword.Then he sent a large wind wave at the shock wave hoping that it would collide.Though he was sadly mistaken when the his wave was absorbed the shock wave."What the hell?"asked Cloud but it was too late.The shock wave had reached him now and the force pushed him back several feet.He regained his balance by doing some back flips while being pushed back and then landing on both feet.There was a large gap between both the boy and Cloud now."Impressive indeed....why don't we see which is better...ninja arts or alchemy!"said Cloud with a cheeky grin.He performed a combo of Cross Slash and his Wind Slicer which sent 3 strong and large wind waves whistling through the air at fast speeds towards the boy.Cloud was not to confident that it would do much but he was going to have to deal with what he had, which was not much right about now.

Edward grinned as the Ninja's plan backfired against him. Alchemy doesn't work in dualities, it's a science. Edward saw that the ninja raising the sword to swing. He wasnt stupid, if the ninja was going to do that at this range it had to be some sort of attack. Ed quickly clasped his hands together and placed them on the ground. There was a blue glow and a large, fat wall erected from the ground that was about 8 feet thick. The wind cut into it a few feet, but it did not reach ed. He clasped his hands again and placed it against the wall. "My Turn!!!" He shouted as the wall glowed yellow as it reshaped itself as a giant canon, the ball easily as tall as a person and pointed right at the ninja. He pressed his hand against it, releasing the pressure and the canon fire, shooting the ball directly at the ninja.

For his first real battle against a ninja, Ed wasn't fairing so horribly. It just buffered his belief that religion and magic were never any match for science and proved theories.

Cloud watched as the boy formed a large wall in front of him which the wind waves cut into but not enough to get to the boy.Then the boy turned the wall into a cannon with a loud "My Turn!!!"."Shit..."cursed Cloud as the cannon fired straight at him.He quickly ran to the left dodging the cannon ball but the small explosion sent him forward a few feet.Now he was running full speed at the boy.With only five feet to cover he performed Sled Fang, one of his favorably used kenjutsu.He burst forward with great speed rushing at the boy with his sword in a lunge.

"Shall I give you despair?"asked Cloud in a menacing tone.It was definite now that his killing intent had taken over his instincts.He had always had this intent since he turned into a Genin and sometimes it was scary.It was a token that his mom had left behind once she had died.Every night after she died, Cloud would have dreams of a dark hooded figure killing his mother over and over again.With that, Cloud's killing intent was born.It was something that he didn't like about himself but it wasn't as if he could control it much.

Description: Cloud charges through an opponent causing a large amount of physical damage if the hit is succesful.

Ed's smile faded as the ninja charged. This was bad. Something in his eyes.. Something in his eyes told Ed that this ninja wasn't messing around. This ninja was going to try to kill Ed. Ed Wouldn't be surprised if he did just that. But Ed wasn't ready to die in this world. Not until he found a way back into his own!! But he wasn't ready to kill yet either. Thinking quickly, he clased his hands together and gathered the static electricity in the air, and there was since this was a desert climate.

Ed timed it perfectly, just as cloud lunged at edward, Edward sidestepped and grabbed the sword. in a tenth of a second all of the electricity he gathered was released through the sword, easily enough to knock out the ninja who was attempting to kill him.

Ed stumbled back a bit as his opponent hit the ground knocked out. For some reason, ed didn't run. He was trusting his instincts on this one. A few minutes later, the ninja awoke. My apologies for that...I didn't want to kill you haha"said Cloud apologetically. Yeah, right, thought Ed. But the ninja did seem sincere. Ed's ego was boosted a little by the fact that he had so easily disarmed a jounin. But he hid his smugness. He offered a hand to the ninja who was on the ground. "Here, lemme help you up" He said.
