Summery

What would happen if Ed wasn't even human? What if he was involved in something more dangerous than looking for the stone? What if he was involved in a world that is supposedly fiction? What if his brother, al, found out something when he walked in on his brother changing? What would he see? Skin? Fur? Fangs? Black eyes? Wings?

Dream

"I CURSE YOU! ALLEN!" The black Akuma core yelled to me as it sliced my left eye. In shock I hold it turning away. 'Wait. What?' My left arm is suddenly big and white with claws. It moves to slice the Akuma core as I yell,"RUN MANA! RUN FATHER!" 'Father? What? What is going on?' Suddenly I'm seeing the soul in the core. It's a man in a black suit with a top hat on. The core is sliced and I'm yelling,"MAAAANNNNAAAAA!!"

Dream end

"MAAANNNNNAAAAAA!!!"

I jerk awake yelling mana's name. Who is mana? *bang bang bang* "brother what's wrong? Brother?" I hear Al ask me. "It's nothing Al. Just a bad dream." A bad dream. That's all. Right? *RING RING RING* I answer my cell.

"Hello?"
"It's Raven calling in. Found a case."
"Oh?"
"Normal meeting place. Normal time."
"Ok Raven. Angel out."

I hang up and get dressed grabbing my case. It has no clothes in it though. It has other personal things in it. "Al get ready. It's that time again." As I walk into the main part of the apartment.

Al,"again brother? This makes the 15th time this month. Take a break from whatever it is you do." I sigh,"no can do Al. I'm sorry." Together we walk to Roy's office. Since I told him about my trips, he has let me go on them so long as Al stays with him. I remember my first job.

Flashback

"Why are you leaving again dad?" I whin at my father. He smiles and says,"to go and help one of my old friends. Would you like to meet my good friend Crow? I can ask him to bring his oldest son. His son is the same age you are to." I gasped and jumped up and down like someone who had had to much sugar. I run and grab my 'just in case' suitcase and say to mummy,"mummy! Dad is letting me go on a job with him! Isn't this great!? I'll see you soon mum!" Mum,"Ok! Take care boys!" As she burbs Al.

We leave the house and dad's cell rings. He answers.

"Hello?"
"....."
"Ok Crow."
"......."
"I'm on my way. And can you bring your oldest son with you?"
"....."
"Ok. Thanks Crow. I'll see you there."
"...."
"Yes at the normal place normal time."
"...."
"Later Crow. ArchA. Out."

He hangs up and says,"Crow is bringing his oldest son. Maybe you two can become friends." I nod, overflowing with energy from the happiness I feel. Today's date is 10/11.

Flashback over

"Brother!" Al says worriedly while waving his metal hand infront of my face. "Huh?" I say so smartly. "We're here." Al says deadpanning. I laugh a bit and walk in.

"Roy." I say, my voice stern and steady. He looks up and says,"another one?" I only nod as he sighs and says,"go ahead. Call when your finished." I nod again and leave. More unknown memories appearing in my head. I go to the unused shed on the roof of the building and start to take off my shirt. Once it is off I unfold my wings.

I then pull out my different outfit and put it on with the sword in its sheath on my back.

I pull out my cloak and go to put it on when the door opens to reveal......
