The ex-script of Ed's involvement in coming to his younger Brother Asta's rescue!

ALVASA!

“Guess it’s time for me to step up and do my job,” Snickered a new voice that Asta recognized. He turned his head quickly to see the form of his older brother looming over the group with a smirk shaking his head.

"Hey short stack how are you measuring up this time?" The Hologram said hoping to press Edwards buttons not knowing that that tactic wouldn't work due to this Displaced getting over that weakness Millennia ago. "go drink some milk before you face these guys."

Ed smirked, “Look who's talking half pint,” He remarked as his shot a blast of restorative energy at Ayumi. “This is quite the mess you have here.”

“It’s not my fault a novice Quincy was being stupid and came out here alone with bait,”Asta scowled.

“Yea yea,” Edward waved it off. Suddenly behind the new Displaced appeared numerous swords and weapons that were charged with a red light, they then propelled themselves forward easily cutting down the smaller hollows. With each weapon strike four blows landed on impact.

“You guys ure drew in a lot of these pests,” Ed looked over his shoulder to the other then back to the gillions. Ed held up his hand, “BANKAI!” In a flash of red Ed held his zanpakuto in his hand. The tsuba was a bright red that shimmered and shined as if on fire while the blade was a very dull dark gray. The tsuka remained solid black and there appeared to be black ribbons made of darkness coming from the ring. Its edge is thick but sharp for either slicing or outright bluntness attack to slam for outright slamming, yet the thickness does not add a great weight to the weapon. “Yake-shoku(Burning Eclipse)."

Ed began to slash through the Menos one at a time with easy, thoroughly shocking Urahara to is core.”Who is this guy?” Ginta asked.

“My big big brother,” Asta snickered. “But… if you think he is strong just cause he can take down a few Menos then you’d shit your pants if you saw his true power.” ‘Still though,” Asta looked on and thought to himself. ‘His power has increased three times more since the last time I saw him only a few months ago.”

"Icy hot don't Badger a god that's even more powerful than me who is also a living philosopher's stone." Ayumi said as she stood back up. "Thank you you're Holiness" she said with respect.

“Thanks but I’m not a god, just a long lived being that was once human,” Ed appeared in fron tof them. “Almost done with these small fries but I need to hollowfy in order to close the breach your guys can wait inside The Crimson Streak,” He snapped and a dimensional portal opened up and out shot a red solar themed train. “Now,” Ed held his hand to his face and a hollow mask with a singular red eye in the center of the head appeared over his face and he vanished in a thump and appeared in front of the breach. “Now,” He raised his zanpakuto above his head and the weapon pulsed as the blade glowed a burning red. He stabbed the sword into the rift, “Nenshō Hōkai (Burning Collapse).” the red energy spread from the sword through the breach and then painfully turned in on itself. Ed dispelled his mask and sword and then appeared in front of the group on the train thoroughly shocking Urahara once more. “That’s done.” Ed dusted off his hands.

"I beg to differ Edward Truth Elric" Ayumi said referencing his pseudo friendship with the being of alchemy. "You've basically taken over Truth's role as the god of alchemy so I will call you a God. Divine knows divine and whether you deny it or not you are a god of sorts. I mean this with respect sir."

“I must kindly deny that claim Ayumi Goddess of Balance,” Ed shook his head. “It’s true I can assume his form of sorts but I am more of his medium than truth embodied. In all honesty I absolutely hate that bastard.”

"Easy way to piss him off," Ayumi suggested "make him laugh he despises showing emotion though laughing will also make him slightly happy that's what will piss him off. Also some versions of him are displacers and kind of nice guys you must have gotten stuck with one of the worst ones."

“He was born I’m guessing around the same time I was Displaced and straight from the Void itself, making him a Void Dweller,” Ed explained. “But enough of him. As I said, he’s a bastard and I do my best to stay away from him as much as I CAN, same goes for my friends and family.” He sighed, “But enough of that.”

“What are you doing here big brother?” Asta scowled.

“Saving your ass Asta,” Edward crossed his arms. “I’m just looking out for you, like I should.”

“Wel, thanks,” he looked out at the battle scarred land. “Can you bring use back to Waillen?”

“No prob,” Ed shrugged.

"Well I'm going to take a nap even with Lord Edward's blast I'm only half strength and the battle took way too much out of me not to mention the final impact I made with the ground" Ayumi said getting comfortable and dozing off.

“I wish she’d stop with the honorifics,” Ed sighed. “I get enough of it back home. Oh yea,” He looked at Asta. “You’re gonna be an uncle again.”

“Luna again or Celestia?” Asta leaned back.

“Celestia,” Ed smirked as the train lurched forward. “We’ll be Waillen in about an hour. That gives you time to rest.”

“Good,” Asta let out a sigh and dozed off.

“Now you guys need to stay put, or I'll have words,” Edward turned to Kisuke but then got stern. “Got Urahara,” the hatted man and company merely nodded. “Good.”

One hour later on the outskirts of the city of Waillen train tracks suddenly appeared. Then out of nowhere the Crimson Streak pulled up to the City. Everypony was on edge as no one had ever seen a train of this sorts before. The Black Bulls Knights, Bending Corps, and trainees were all on scene reading for a fight. Even the Shadowbolts and Princesses were there not knowing what sort of being would command such a beast of a man. It was clear to the princesses that this train was an assault type and heavily armored so that normal means wouldn’t damage it and that whoever owned it and was aboard was extremely powerful and skilled in many magics to the point that they themselves knew fighting would be a hopeless battle.

“Sister, could they have been watchin, waiting for a time so that Asta would be away for a long time?” Luna asked Celestia.

“More than likely sister and Asta is the only pony that would stand a chance of fighting whoever is on that train.” Celestia said through gritted and clenched fist, she was truly scared for the first time in many years. ‘But i don’t even think Asta would even be able to stand up to whoever this is.’

As the cabin doors opened a lavender streak burst out tackling Luna in a hug. This action, while unexpected, was an indication that whoever owned the vehicle was at least somewhat friendly. "Hello Mom." A familiar voice said from Luna's chest.

“Oh now ain’t that sweet,” Asta said as he came out from the train.

“Asta who is this and what happened?” Celestia asked in confusion. “ Why does she look like Twilight but have even more magic than my sister and myself, what is going on?” She crossed her arms and glared.

“You can relax. Everything is fine, we just had to go and deal with but it turned into a much bigger mess than we originally intended,” Asta threw up his hands. “As for who she is you can ask her yourself, because she’s not shy about telling anyone. You can also thank tose guys and the guy who owns the train for the help because if he hadn’t shown up then we’d all be in some big fucking trouble.

As Luna stood up she looked at Twilight's doppelganger. "Why do you call me mother? I have no children and the only blood relative Celestia and I have is Blueblood."

"Well you aren't my mother pre say." Ayumi admitted sheepishly "but in the last few days I've been dealing with a bit of emotional whiplash and Mama Velvet and then you from my world always helped me. When I saw you I kinda went with my instincts instead of my mind. Sorry princess."

"You're a displaced from a world where I never fell and helped to bring you into this world?" Luna asked still holding the Lavender pony. "That would explain the wings"

"I wish it's far more complicated due to time travel, Discord, and magic." Ayumi said " long story short when you first use the elements on Discord some of his magic was released causing you to go forward in time temporarily to help in bringing me into this world through a tri-parentage spell." Ayumi said. "Humans are able to do something similar with technology. In my world it's an old spell made to ensure strong and healthy children in a herd situation."

"That does complicate things though the spell Exists in this world for the same reason." Celestia said "Your father is Night Light, I take it?"

"Well he and Discord both as a trace of his magic was passed to me through the spell that brought Luna forward though Night Light is my father by blood I carry chaos magic in me from Discord" Ayumi admitted.

"Landsakes that explains a lot." Applejack said as both she and Fluttershy approached. "Princess Luna is your kin on your world I was wondering why you called both her and Princess Celestia by their nicknames or by Mom and Aunty."

"Aww you do look like mother and daughter." Fluttershy said before turning to Asta. “I can’t wait for that to be us,” She placed a hand on her stomach.

“Forget to tell me something Asta,” Edward remarked as he stepped otu and leaned against the train’s doorway. Suddenly everypony but Asta and Ayumi edge reaching for weapons drawing, grimoires out, and taking up battle stances.

“WHO ARE YOU?!” Luna yelled, putting herself between the stranger and Ayumi without even thinking.

“Relax every pony,” Asta threw his hands up. Clearing his throat he motioned to Edward. “Allowing me to formally introduce you all to my older brother. Those that were in the Empire may recognise him from his power.”

“This… is.. Your… older brother,” Celestia’s eyes widened. She recalled back to when Asat told her of his time in the Empire and mentioned how he’d said that his brother was stronger than he was then her mind was pulled to a single thought. “Asta, where is my son?”

“Over here mom,” Spike said yawning as he walked off. Celestia immediately pulled Spike her and nearly choked him.

“Never gets old,” Ed smirked then he looked at Fluttershy with a warm smile then it faded away. “You never told me I was going to be an uncle Asta.”

“Never came up,” Asta looked away.

"To be fair Ed you still need to tell them about Al" Ayumi said " even if he never shows up you've got to remember that you're going to have a their maybe fourth brother at some point or you already do" Ayumi said as she stepped around Luna "I've done a lot of research and from what I found at least two of you have brothers based purely on who you're displaced as they're going to show up at some point whether it be Yuno or Al you guys are going to have more family showing up at some point."

“You realise as the child's father she won’t have magic,” Ed revealed.

“I suspected and how do you it’s a girl,” Asta squinted,

“I just know, and call it experience too as I have had children before and am a grandfather rmanytimes over. Don’t forget Luna and I have the twins too,” Ed crossed his arms the remark causing Luna to blush. “There is no Al.” he closed his eyes. “And there never will be.”

"He will appear if only in dreams Ed" Ayumi said. " if there's one thing every displaced has to deal with is the characters from their world whether they be Friend or Foe coming to Equestria. What worries me is why you're not jumping at the chance to have another little brother. Are you worried that something might happen to him?"

“No, it’s because I dealt with those memories millennia ago,” Ed said coldly.

“Millennia?” Celestia and Luna said in unison.

“In my world I nearly twice both your ages combined,” Ed cracked his knuckles.

“You’re over seven thousand years old,” Twilight said with intrigue.

“No, I’m over 15,000 years old,” Ed said flaty shocking everyone but Asta and Ayumi again.

Seeing the look in Ed's eyes Ayumi rushed to hug him. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bring such painful memories to the surface!" As she hugged him she began sobbing "the pain dulled as it is I see it I'm so sorry!" Ayumi began glowing as her emotions took over her sorrow and shame causing her magic to go into flux barely contained at the moment as she cried. Luckily she retained enough control to keep the magic to just a light show. "Please forgive me."

“It’s alright little one,” Ed placed his left hand on her head. “I am not without fault either. Remember even gods make mistakes Ayumi, I still continue to make mistakes to this day. All we can do is learn from it. My Twilight just earned her wings and is still learning and you must know that we are never too old to stop learning,” He rubbed her head. “It runs in our family.”

“What are you implying?” Twilight raised an eyebrow.

“In my world you are my niece through Celestia, Luna, and Cadence’s marriage to Shining Armor, but you are also my student,” Ed smikred. “And your coltfriend is one of my grandchildren through a descendant of one of the many children Luna and I adopted.”

"And I thought my family was confusing," Ayumi said with a chuckle and smile as the light faded. "thank you Uncle Ed. You're right even gods make mistakes I'll be more careful from now on I promise. Now can we eat that fight plus what happened before made me famished?" To emphasize this her stomach rumbled almost as loud as a dragon's snore. "See my body even agrees!"

“It’s a good thing we fixed a lot of food back at the house then,” Aj chuckled. “Come on and let’s get ya’ll to the feeding trough.”

“Will you joining us big brother?” Asat asked as his friends pulled him along.

“Just for a bit, but can’t stay for very long as I need to get back home,” Ed shrugged. “Besides, there are a few things that I believe Ayumi could use that I have access to that she might not.”

"Whatever you're willing to give me I'll be happy to accept," Ayumi said. "You have my token so I have nothing else to give you on your level of power." She said sadly.

“Just because I give things doesn’t mean I need something in return Ayumi.” Ed shook his head. “True there's very little that I do not have but at the same time there’s very much that I can give to others that will help them out.” He chuckled. “Though I carry the sin of greed, what I value is not my items or my own life but the life and lives of those I have spent and spend my time with. I will give you your gift wafter lunch though.”

The group walked through the town and arrived at Asta’s home where they all began to enjoy a heart lunch that had been made by Aj and Fluttershuy.

“So Mr. Edward,” Twilight asked abruptly.“You said you were married to princess Luna in you world and have children with her, but I was wondering how that works? Are they normal ponies or alicorns?”

“It works like any other way,” Ed leaned back. “You go to the bedroom and have a good time,” He smirked, causing man to blush heavily. “No I’ve had many children over the years through various means but the most common for me was adoption. Luna and I didn’t have biological children until recently as we thought it would be possible after I died though.”

“You’re an undead,” Celestia shot up from her seat.

“Not even close,” Ed aved a finger in the air. “I simply traded the life I could’ve had in my home world for the one in Equestria. I didn’t want to leave what I just got back for something I could have gotten that I’ve already come to terms with dying a long time ago from me.”

“But that means ya can never go back,” Aj said in out right disgust. “What about your family other than Asta, your ma and pa?”

“My parents hated my life choice and cut all contact with me and our youngest brother rarely ever came around at the time,” Ed crossed his arms. “Asta and I were close and still are but he had his career and his training in the east. I had simply been gone so long that normally they would have been dead, though this was a bit off as I was given the chance to go back right when I left. Like I said though, I came to terms with it a long time ago and I couldn’t leave my new home and my new family.”

“What happened to your youngest brother?” Rd asked.
.
“He became Displaced himself not long ago,” Ed got up and stretched. “And to answer your questions Twilight, foals normally take after the stronger magical parent when conceived and at the time this was Luna, making them both Alicorns. My twins are Solar Eclipse and Morning Star. A boy and Girl. My girl takes after me and our son takes after Luna. I just found out that Tia is pregnant but she’s only caring one foal.”

“So you’re married tobot of us,” Luna thought and then hit her. “You’re… the king of your Equestria!”

“No, I’m a prince in title alone,” Ed shrugged. “I was the Minos King about 2,000 years ago but never again will I take on the king title.Too much work. I mainly oversee teaching in the schools back home. I’ll occasionally raise and lower the celestial bodies when I feel like it to. And now that Tia’s pregnant I’ll be on Sun duty.” He sipped his tea ignoring the looks of awe he was being given. “That’s a good way to catch flies.”

"On my world I'm actually the head of government and I raise the Sun and Moon alongside you two." Ayumi said "Aunty you mostly retired from Princess duty due to the 600 years of service alone before Cadance was found. Mom was going to retire as well but I convinced her to stay on as an adviser and my second in case I couldn't make it to court which was now held in a harmony blessed building."

"That's utter horse apples!" Rd slammed her fist down.

"I have to agree with my senior knight," Free Fall scowled at Ed as he crossed his arms. " No single pony but the Princesses has the power to move the sun and the moon."

"You two are committing blasphemy against our rulers," Haze added to the princesses' shock. "There is not a doubt in my mind that you two are very powerful but you can not control what is not your. Especially someone like you who isn't even a pony." He squinted at Ed.

Asta shot up and slammed his hands on the table gaining everyone's attention, Ed allo cracked an eye. Asta glared back at Haze, "Your all way out of line especially you Haze," pointing at the pegasus. "And I won't stand here and let any of you insult my family in my own home! Ayumi is a goddess who pretty much radidates power. Hell i don't even know if I could match her in a sparring match we're gonna have. And I know you sense her power but yet you have the balls to go after and my big brother who even she admits is way stronger than her. A freaking goddess," Asta motoned to Ayumi and then to his older brother. "Is literally saying my older brother is stronger than her!" He plopped down in hs chair huffing from his rant which caused many to simply stare as alot of them had never really seen their friend and leader enraged other than the time he took on the Caribou but even that was a very cold rage unlike this one.

"Remember your history Guard" Ayumi said her body glowing a sickly purple. "Celestia and Luna were not the first to raise the sun and moon. Before they took the job groups of unicorns did it." The glow one extended to her eyes. "The Princesses have the power to do it alone yes but it is their Cutiemarks that help them to do so! Feel lucky you're not on my world I'd of had you sent to my guard school to remind you of this while going through the training of your afterlife. Oh and you just insulted Luna's daughter by the way. My title is Princess of friendship and princess of the Stars you can't claim that at least part of the night isn't mine."

"Enough," Ed said sternly while stomping his metal leg on the ground sending a calm throughout the room. "Getting upset and angry then throwing a tantrum like that of little children speaks even less of what you claim you two. You have every right to get angry but know when it's appropriate to let it out. As leaders you must learn this and in act it to its fullest."

"Sorry uncle," Ayumi said shrinking in on herself. "Family is a trigger for me and I lost my head at her insulting mom."

"My bad, but its worse as its my knights that insulted my brother," Asta looked down ashamed.

Ed stood up and stretched then walked over and placed his hands on their head and bent down with a smirk wan with a smirk and wink. "Like I said you have every right to be upset and angry but know when its appropriate to let it show or you'll end up in a big mess than the one you already have." Ed cracked his neck then knelt down. Raising his right hand a spark of electricity went off slightly. He placed his hand on the floor and electricity shot in all directions.

“What are you up to?” Rd glared as she balled her fists.

“Mapping out the city so I know what and who all is in it,” Ed looked out of the corner of his eyes.

“Why are you doing that? That is if you don’t mind answering,” Fluttershy fidgeted in her seat.

Ed stood up and snickered. “That’s for me to know and you guys to find out,” He threw up a finger.

“Alright I’ve had enough of your crap,” Rainbow ready herself to strike.

“Trust me Rainbow you’re too slow,” Ed threw his hand and then brought his finger in front of Rainbow’s eyes and in it was her hair tie.

“WHAAAA!” Rd jumped back as her hair fell down.

“Like I said to slow,” He tossed her tie back to her. “My own Rainbow Dash is way faster than you. She got that way by understanding she could always improve and figuring out that there will always be someone better and that she should try and push onwards to achieve that even greater heights and not that she is already the best.”

“You ain't gotta tell me that it's one of the principles of the Black Bulls,” She huffed.

“But one you don’t fully grasp Dash,” Asta crossed his arms. “You push yourself against me to achieve your goals, making yourself stagnant.” Rainbow blinked at her captain, realizing he was right. “No what are you up to big bro?”

“Could you all have the citizenry get out of the city and head out past my train,” Ed looked at his younger brother who simply nodded and the Princess also agreed for some reason.

Ayumi took Rainbow Dash to the side. "You have good control over your Magic Rainbow Dash but none over your Ki. I'm not talking about the kind that Asta uses. That's just sensing manipulating life energy inside himself without externalizing it. The kind I use allows me to fly faster with less effort and strengthens both my muscles and my defense. It's similar to what Asta uses but it's a force that you use to affect the world around you from within learning to master this key can also help you master your magic allowing you to go Mach 5 without a Sonic Rainboom as pegasi magic allows for a low pressure Zone to form in front of whoever's flying up to their physical limits. The Sonic Rainboom is pushing past that temporarily in creating a colored explosion ring while drastically exploding in speed at least double."

“As fascinating as it would be to allow training, you can’t do that type of thing here without specific conditions,” Ed said, crossing his arms. “You’ll have plenty of time to train while you’re recovering here. Right now we need to move out of this city,” Ed snapped and without even realising it the entire group was back at Ed’s train with the rest of the citizens. Ed weaved hands signs and in a second atleat twenty other Eds appeared in pops of white smoke. Before anyone could question they quickly split up and positioned themselves all around the city of Waillen.

“Edward, what are you going to do to my city?” Asta asked with a scowl.

“Just watch little brother,” Ed smirked over his shoulder and then clapped his hands together and slammed the into the ground and in a flash red sent out red lightning out to the other eds around the city doing the same. To everyone's amazement the city and the land around it began to reform into a much grand city with much better house while springing more crystal walls for protections and in the center a grand Eastrern themed castle spang. As fast as the act began it ended with Ed dusting off his hands while turning ot everypony else. “There we go, consider this your welcome to father slash king hood present. My clones will help the citizens get to their new home while I give you all a tour of the castle. Here’s a question, have you had a coronation yet Asta and Twilight?”

“Ah…” They both looked at the much older displaced in awe.

A few days later...

It had been a few days since Edward had remodeled Waillen. The Crimson sage had made the town into a city using his alchemy. The wall Asta had made reinforced along with two more outer walls creating an easy separation between the inner city, the expansion that the townsfolk had started, and the large amount of farmland created inside the first wall. Roads of the same crystal were formed in each cardinal direction with crystal gates and portcullis appearing to allow for travelers to pass through each wall. Buildings and homes were formed in the first to rings and the farmland in the third. All watched over by a castle in the center of it all.

"Ed outdid himself on this!" Ayumi said from the balcony of said castle looking over the additions Asta's brother had created. "Though I'll admit I didn't think he would create a smaller version of the Clover capital from the manga."

“My brother was always the bigger cosplayer out of the two of us so it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest,” Asta looked around his new city from his new homestead, “I wasn’t expecting an Eastern style palace house either. We will need the room now that Twi decided to move in and with the baby on the way.”

“That was the whole point of the remodel,” Ed said as he appeared out of nowhere. “I also connected the Equestrian train lines here. I would stay with you two but I need to go. I have another place to be and it can’t wait for much longer Ayumi, I have a gift for before I leave.” He turned to the young goddess.

"Yeah? I'll take anything you’re willing to give." Ayumi said with a small smile on her face. "What is it?"

A cloud of metal came from Ed’s arm and formed into a Chibi Ed, something Asta had seen his older brother do once before. “This is a chibi-Ed. He’s an artificial lifeform composed of a colony of nanites. He has access to the void Network and can create just about any material in small quantities from absorbing the dust in the air as well as replicate any machine modern to stone. One scan is all it takes,” He explained. “These are Harmony nanites meaning they were charged with harmony magic, aka Friendship. They’re immune to tampering via any form of magic or technology outside me. If you wish for him to change into another form he can and he can hook into any machine you have. Take care of him,” Edward held out his hand and the chibi walked onto it giving Ayumi a bow.

"Thank you for the chibi!" Ayumi said as she hugged the smaller and cuter version of Edward. "Flutters is going to flip when she sees you if Christy and Nata don’t first. So what now? Are you heading home?"

“I thought you were gonna stay for the coronation and our match,” Asta said disappointingly. “You can’t stay just a little longer?”

“I have my own Twilight’s coronation to get to, plus the announcement that Tia and I are expecting,” Ed shook his head and motioned with his artificial hand. “The only reason I was here so soon was thanks to my train. I’d have had to walk here if not for it. I also have a third princess that I haven’t spent time with in over… ah… two thousand years…” He scratching his chin. “Roughly over that. We all have our own lives to live Asta. You and I are no different in that way, Gar has just learned that for himself too. You should summon him and catch after he’s healed up.”

“What happened to him?” Asta quickly asked.

“Pushed himself way too far to destroy a demon in a fit of rage,” Ed shrugged. “‘I did what I should and nothing more. I'll be watching you, Asta, and you to Ayumi," Ayumi felt a sense of warmth in her heart at that comment. "Don’t be afraid to come and see me when you have a problem, okay,” He handed Ayumi his token and a red key. “The watch can call me and the key can open a portal to wherever I am in my world. I know the twins and Nyx would love to meet you as well as Tia and Luna and our other family members in the Crimson Knights. You’ll keep in touch I hope.”

"I'd love to meet them, so sure when I get back to my world I'll give you a call and I might drop in one day soon," Ayumi said, still cuddling the Chibi. "Till then!"

“Take care,” Ed rubbed her head and hugged Asta’s neck. “Later,” He smirked as he jumped into the air to land aboard the Crimson Streak as it sped by roaring through the air at top speed. A dimensional gate opened and the train sped through it with a loud whistle then shut once more.
