Wandering about the city, Barry slunk from shadow to shadow searching for his target. Stealth was never really something he was proficient at, especially not in a suit of armor, but he didn't want his target to get a head start. It was just last week that he had heard rumors that a boy in a giant suit of armor was lost, and searching for his brother. Barry knew the story all too well, and wanted an opportunity to face off against an opponent similar to himself, as this had to prove interesting.
"Hey you, what are you doing here? And what's with the get-up?" One of the civilians asked, not so willing to just let a giant piece of metal walk around undisturbed. Giving up on the stealth idea, Barry decided to cause a ruckus. Surely if the boy cared at all, he'd stop him and try to save these 'pathetic' people and give him the fight he wanted.
"I'm here to kill you! Eheh, Hahaha! Slice you all!" Barry screeched as he withdrew his cleaver and chased the man around. This was sure to prove entertainment enough until someone stronger arrived.

Barry had been correct. Although he had since found his brother (the boys were not likely to be parted for longer then a few days, even if they were lost), the boy had come out to the market today to get some basic supplies. He and his brother were going to be leaving in the morning and his brother, unlike himself, still needed food. And that is how Alphonse Elric because the grocery guy.
Grumbling to himself as he descended the three stairs from their little hotel room to the ground, he couldn't help but wonder why he had to get the food. He didn't eat it anyway! But his brother was to busy doing something important to get his own food. Al sighed and shook his head. Perhaps he would by some milk and sneak it into his brother's diet just to spite him...
He had been a little more wrapped up in his thoughts then planned and suddenly found himself on the edge of the market. And the commotion that was taking place was huge! Dropping the empty basket that he had been carrying for the food, he ran over to the crowd. A man in armour with a huge butcher's knife was running around chasing what seemed like random people.
Al couldn't really tell if it was a joke or if he was serious about killing these people but he wasn't about to take any chances, even if it meant he would end up looking like a fool.
And yet, despite his size, Al could not push through the crowd. He would have rolled his eyes if he'd had any. So instead, he bent at the knees and jumped over the heads of the humans standing around-right int he path of the armoured man.

"Oh so there you are!" The crazed butcher squealed with excitement, "I've wanted to meet you! Y-you're much like me! So I'm going to kill you! I'm going to pull out your body, cut you up into little tiny ribbons, and deck you about town square! Hyaahh!" Not waiting for Alphonse to reply, Barry charged him, with the cleaver held high, hoping to sink the knife into the rib cage of the armor, still unaware of the fact that there was no body withing the armor, despite his own deposition. He was never renowned for his intelligence, and still couldn't put the pieces together to realize that Alphonse was like him, almost exactly like him. In fact, the two were only separated by difference of mind.

Al just listened to the man as he spoke. With a sigh and a shake of the head, he realized that this guy was clearly insane... Al hated fighting crazy people. But, never the less, someone had to do it and his brother was doing 'something importaint' back at the hotel. Not that Al would ever run away from a fight and by the sounds of it, the man had specifically looking for him. Ah the joys of fame...
Al turned to the group of people behind him and threw his hand around, signaling them to move. This, coupled with his words would hopefully be enough to transport them on their own legs. "Go! You guys don't need to be here. This isn't a show." He had little time for more warning because he could hear the crazed battle cry of his new enemy.
And so the fight began.
Al turned in time to see the shine of the cleaver coming to ward his side. With a quick step back, he was able to get out of the path of the swing, causing the other man's arm to swing around. With a quick grab of the mans wrist he turned, it, hoping to dislocate it. Unfortunately for him, pure armour did not dislocate and all Al had was a wrist hold on his enemy.

Confused by the sudden movement of his enemy, as he was clearly used to his prey sitting there crying, Barry almost fell backwards on the ground as his wrist was turned aside. "Eyah? What?! How can you move so fast? That's not fair!! Eh-why'd you move?" He gave another disturbed chuckle, then tried to wrench his arm free of Alphonse's grasp, only to remove the joint from the armor. "Oh dear... mind giving me a hand?" Barry asked, stifling a chuckle, then made another mad dash at Alphonse, attempting to grab his lost hand back. "Gimme! Gimme!!" He shouted as the armor clunked loudly through his crude movements.
People in the background quickly cleared the area, not wanting to get caught in the middle of the deadly fight between the two giants. A single blow from either of these metal men could easily crush their bodies.

Alphonse's eyes widened when the hand came off. He looked inside and 'hmm'ed when he saw there was nothing there. A man like him! This just got a whole lot more interesting!
His opponent began to jump and jive after him and Al realized he had the right hand, meaning his enemy probably wasn't all to great without it. Barry would be unable to have much much accuracy even if he attacked with his left hand. Al quickly turned around, opened his chest plate and dropped the hand in. It would be more difficult for Barry to get it back now!

"H-Hey!!" The mad butcher yelled as he chased after Al, "That's not fair! Give it back! I need that!" Barry continued to whine, shaking his cleaver at Alphonse's face. He stumbled after Alphonse, trying to grab him, eventually jumping face forward in an attempt to pin down his legs, and make a reach for his chest, all with one hand.
A few people even began to resume their daily activities, as this odd show almost seemed comical at this point.
"I said give it back!!" Barry growled, his voice echoing in the suit.
(Ooc: lol That's funny!)

Edward woke from a slumber. He always was eating, sleeping, or practicing alchemy. "So tell me Al, have you figured out-". Edwards's eyes widened as he realized Al was nowhere in sight. Quickly Edward leaped up grabbing his red alchemy jacket and putting it on as he raced out wooden door to the hotel. "Where would he have run off to now?"He thought silently to himself. "I hope he isn't in trouble. Unless he had rescued some stray cat."That would be just like him, he finished his thought line as he stepped on to the ston pavement and set off, his eyes glancing back and forth making sure to catch every detail in the town
A loud bang and yell sounded a street over and Edward dashed off at high speed. Quickly he used his alchemy to create a fast moving stone walk way which he leaped from boulder to boulder. After his foot had left the stone formation it collapsed in the ground. Soon he saw Al facing a new...tin armored man? What kind of joke was this? He was just like his brother. Shock registered on Edward's face for a second before glaring in their direction. "Who the hell are you, and what's going on?"Edward Elric joined his brother as he cought his breath.

**Post orders go by posters, not characters. The order would remain Sousa, Yen, Kat and Yen would just post with both characters in one post. BTW I'm starting to like Barry XP **
Al stood still as Barry leaped at him. With no flesh and the lack of ability to feel pain, he wasn't really too scared of the cleaver. The only way it could hurt him was if it somehow sliced through the blood seal which was highly unlikely. He couldn't help but laugh as his opponent started to thrash around. This battle really hadn't lasted long at all.
Barry had jumped toward Al's feet but missed horrible and now lay on the ground. Quickly making his move, Al moved to sit on the other armoured man's back. Now, even with his waving cleaver hand, he could do nothing.
Not even a minute later, Edward, Al's brother came leaping through. Excited to see that his brother was apparently done with his 'important stuff' he waved. "Hello brother! I've made a new friend! His name is...uh...what was your name again?"[/b] Al looked down at his new hollow chair.

Barry
Barry thrashed about, trying to push the other suit of armor of his back, giving him the appearance of a swimming turtle. "Get off! Get off!! I need that arm!" Realizing that the second brother had entered the stage he paused for a moment. "You mean neither of you recognize me? Not at all? Not even you, Full Metal?! Well, I'm hurt, I thought my reputation was WELL KNOWN!! Well if you're going to bring identity into this, you can just call me number 66, as the meeting we had before was another life." He let out a hollering chuckle before resuming his struggle with Alphonse.
Ana
Ana had seen Ed leave the inn, and eventually decided to leave as well. She was still trying to think of a good excuse for why she continually refused to go to Central when her ears pricked up on the commotion nearby. 'What on earth?' She thought as she wandered closer, noticing that people here and there were hiding from the site ahead. Eventually she spotted two large suits of armor wrestling in the town shopping center. 'This day just can't get much weirder...'
Unsure of what action to take, she stood on the sidelines, gathering information. Ana had never actually seen Ed's brother, and wasn't really sure if the suit of armor sitting on-top the obvious criminal was actually his brother, but questions aside, there was quite the entertaining show up ahead.
"Edward, do you know these people? And why are they wrestling?"

"The one um, with out the arm ripped off, and um, without the skull like face is my brother Al, but I DON'T KNOW WHO THE CRAZY PHYSCOPATH WHO IS WRESTLING WITH HIM IS!" Edward yelled and dashed over watching the two wrestle. Without planning it out he leaped up and attempted to grab Barry's head, and tried to yank himself up his back, his black shoes scrabbling at the metal. "Who do you think you are starting fights in the middle of the night, and especially with my brother!" He screeched, but his eyes widdened and his breath cought in his throat as he realized this man was hallow like Al. He froze for a moment. "Your like Al. That means you had to go through the same torture as him."

**It's daytime Kat XD**
Al would have been grinning if he'd had a mouth to do it with. As it was, the humour he found in the situation was evident in his tone of voice. "Well Mister 66, it seams I have won." He watched as his brother jumped over and removed his victims head. At this point, it really wasn't fair picking on the poor guy. He already had a suit of armour sitting on his back.
"Unless of course you enjoy fighting without you're head. Which if course I know is possible, and yet..." he trailed off as he saw Ana. He waived to her happily.

Barry
Barry continued to whine, his voice raising louder and louder, shaking the one fist he had left in agony. "You've won! You've won! Give me back my head and arm! I'll leave you alone! It was just a joke, right? RIGHT? Just let me go and I'll leave you alone!" He squealed, hoping to convince the bothers into letting him go with just a warning. "It was just for old times sake, right? Just let me go..."
Ana
Ana couldn't help but stare in awe at Al, he was huge! There's no way the two could be related, unless...
Any hope for concealing their past was lost now, as Ana moved closer to see the inside of the other crazed suit of armor, how it was completely desolate of life, how Ed claimed that he was just like Al, and yet moved and spoke. She was definitely shocked, and a little scared, but she seemed to be handling the shock well, as she quickly shut her open jaw, and replaced it with a smile.
"Hello Al, my name is Ana. I've been helping your brother look for you." She said in a friendly tone. Despite the fact that Al was indeed large, she could tell he was young just from the sound of his voice. "It seems you've caught something!" She exclaimed, keeping a giggle at bay.

Edward laughed nervously sliding off of Barry and quickly replacing his helmet on his hollow neck. "So what kind of third-rate fighter are you? Why were you wrestling my brother?" Edward growled before turning to Al. "Oh I'm so glad I found you Al. Been looking everywhere, but this is the last place on my mind you would be right now, and wrestling this peice of armor." Edward muttered kicking dirt at Barry. Edward gave a pat on Al's sidel glad to have finally found him.

Barry
Barry squeaked like a mouse as the dirt flew at his face, but he seemed less manic now that his head was replaced. "You mean you still don't remember your old pal? I was certain the memory was scarred into your brain when I kidnapped you and your little blonde friend. Eh... But it was another life! Don't worry about me, I'm just a relic, not the real problem at all! Just let me go!"
Ana
Ana watched the giant suit of armor kick and thrash about as it tried to push the other suit off of himself. "What an odd site..." she mumbled, coming closer to Alphonse. "This certainly has been a full day, but it's a good thing we've found you Alphonse. We've been looking everywhere." She gave a large grin, and began to make a mental checklist of everything the boys would need before they left for Central.
