Al whimpered, "I guess so..." He whispered to his brother, "Ed! We've never fought together like this! Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Sounds fair, not what I had in mind, but I have yet to see the Elrics fight as weapon and meister," Roy replied with a smile.
Black Star pumped his fist in the air. "YAHOO!! Alright, let's go Tsubaki!"

Ed winked at his brother and gave him a thumbs up. "No problem, Al! This is why I've been studying so hard," he said and dragged his brother outside.
Maka shrugged. "Well, I guess we'll be observing in class today. Ready to go, Soul?" she asked. This will be a perfect time for her to read their soul wavelengths as well.
Tsubaki nodded. "Okay, Black Star," she said and transformed into the kusarigama.
"Let's go, Lizz. Patty. I want to see what these two are capable of," Kid said and began walking outside. "Just as long as that idiot, Black Star doesn't ruin my father's castle anymore."

Soul nodded. "Yeah, let's go."
"Let's do it!" Black Star cried as he ran after the Elric brothers.
Liz sighed, "Whatever, just don't have another breakdown..." Patty giggled and skipped after her meister and older sister.
~~~
Outside, Al stood nervously before his opponent. It wasn't that he couldn't fight, heavens no. It's just he didn't know how to fight with Ed as a spear.
Black Star stretched out before heading into combat. "Oooh yeah! This is gonna be sweet!"
"I don't know who to root for," Soul shrugged with a sly smile, "Though it is always funny to see Black Star get his ass kicked."
Roy chuckled, "Oh, I'm pretty sure someone's going to get smeared today."

Maka looked at Mustang and frowned. "Professor, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean...they just started at this school. What if they have no experience fighting? Is it really fair to put them up against a higher class student?"
Stein smiled, sitting in his chair next to Mustang as he lit a cigarette. "Those two will be fine. Fighting experience or not, those two have strong wavelengths. I can sense that the older Elric is no pushover."
"I hope you're ready, Black Star. New students or not, we have to watch their moves," Tsubaki said from inside the kusarigama.
Ed turned to Al and patted his brother on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Al. We just need to work together on this one. You ready?" he asked, making sure his brother was comfortable with this before he transformed.

"Besides, if things get out of hand we can always interfere," Roy reassured Maka.
Alphonse nodded and held out his hand, grabbing his brother's. He gulped hard, but kept a look of determination on his face.
"Yeah yeah, what ever, Tsubaki," Black Star chortled, "Don't worry, I'm the best! What could possibly go wrong?"

Ed smiled and transformed himself into a lance. The form of the weapon look a lot like the lance Ed always transmuted during fights. "Ready, Al?"
"Impressive weapon form," Tsubaki said, looking at Ed. "Though it doesn't look that powerful..."
"Maka..." Stein said suddenly, keeping his eyes forward.
"Yes, professor?" she asked, snapping out of her slight trance.
"Look closely at Ed and Al's wavelengths. What do you see?"
Maka looked back at Ed and Al, closing her eyes to concentrate on their souls. "They're small, almost weak...but they have a strong bond between them," she said, opening her eyes. "Meaning Al should have no problem wielding Edward."

Roy snorted, "Hmph, I wish I knew what you meisters were talking about. Sucks I can't see a damn thing."
"Then this is going to be cake! YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Black Star charged at Alphonse hurling Tsubaki's blade at the boy.
Al gritted his teeth and dodged the blade by jumping to the side, "No fair, I wasn't ready!" He twirled Ed around and swung the lance, knocking Black Star's second attack back to him. "HURRAH!" Al roared as he thrust the spear forward. But... where was his target?
"Soul Force!" Black Star cried as he double-palmed Al's back. The strength he had put into the attack caused Al to stumble forward and drop on his hands and knees. He flipped around and knocked Black Star away using Ed's hilt. Alphonse slowly stood up, clearly in pain and out of breath.
Black Star was knocked into the academy wall and he too had the wind knocked out of him the same way he did to Al. "Ugh... that actually hurt..."

Ed winced, seeing both meisters take a hit. "Al, are you okay??" he called from inside the lance.
Tsubaki sighed. "Just because I said he doesn't look powerful, doesn't mean he doesn't have a few tricks up his sleeve."
Stein grinned, twirling around in his chair then held his hand up, temporarily stopping the fight. "Before you two go any further, Alphonse, I have a special assignment for you."
Maka blinked at Stein, wondering what kind of assignment he was going to give him. It must have something to do with their souls.

"I'm fine, Ed." Al then looked over at Stein. "Huh? What is it, Professor?"
Black Star peeled himself from the wall, "Ugh, yeah... sorry Tsubaki."
"What is this special assignment, Stein? It's right in the middle of their fight." Roy asked confused. He, like the Elrics, was still new to the whole weapon/meister thing.

Stein grinned at the newby teacher. "Mustang, you should know about this technique. You performed it with Miss Hawkeye once," he said then turned to Alphonse. "I'm sure you two are well aware of the technique called Soul Resonance, correct?"
Ed thought about it for a moment. He remembered reading it in one of his text books recently. "You mean combining the two souls of meister and weapon to create a powerful attack with their wavelength?"
"Correct," Stein said holding up his index finger. "I want to see if you two can perform this abilty. If so, I'll give you extra points for this class and my class as well."
Even though no one could see it, Edward had a wide grin on his face. "Really? Well, I guess we could give it a try..."

Roy chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck, "R-Really? So that triple attack we did was Soul Resonance. Heh, I forgot about that. I mostly thought it was me being over zealous..."
"Yeah, let's try it!" Al put both hands on Ed's staff and closed his eyes. Brother... let's just pretend we're using alchemy! Maybe we can do this!
"Haha!" Black Star called out triumphantly, "Even with Soul Resonance, you won't be able to beat me! Tsubaki! Uncanny sword mode!"
"What is that idiot thinking? He still can't fully handle Tsubaki like that," Soul growled.

Stein grinned. "I wonder how it is that you became a teacher in this school," he mumbled through his cigarette.
Maka sweat dropped. She wondered the same thing.
Ed nodded. 'Right! We have to concentrate and make sure we don't break the connection,' he said and closed his eyes.
Tsubaki gasped. "Black Star are you sure about this? You haven't fully mastered the Enchanted sword!"

Black Star grinned. "Don't worry, Tsubaki! It won't take less than a second to beat these guys!"
Okay... Don't break the connection... Just have to focus... Alphonse squeezed his eyes tighter shut. He could feel something inside... not just his soul, but his brother's as well. I see you, Ed! What do we do from here?
"Apparently Lord Death has a lot of confidence in the Colonel because of his title..." Soul sighed.

Tsubaki nodded. "If you say so, Black Star," she said and transformed into what use to be her brother's sword.
Our soul must link! Ed said to Al. We must shout out Soul Resonance at the same time!
Kid squinted, watching the brothers closely. 'The professor is making them do soul resonance when they have little fighting experience? I guess that's Professor Stein for you... He puts a lot of faith in all his students.'

Right! Al's eyes then opened and he looked at Black Star. "Let's go!" He pointed the tip of the blade at Black Star.
"SOUL RESONANCE!" He and Ed cried out together, "DRAGON SPEAR!" The wings from the dragon on the spear suddenly began to glow and shot out. The dragon itself then roared and snaked upward. Flexing it's wings it roared a second time and then shot itself out at Black Star.
Black Star smirked and put his hand on Tsubaki's hilt. He too began to use the same technique.
"SOUL RESONANCE! SHADOW STAR!" His shadow turned into a whip-like entity and it too shot out towards the enemy.
The dragon and shadow intertwined and began to attack each other, the dragon ripping the shadow apart and the shadow slicing at the dragon. From the percpecive of the audience, it seemed like a battle of wills. Suddenly, each broke free of each other, and headed towards the meisters. Al was struck down from the lash of the whip and simultaneously, the soul dragon passed through Soul, knocking him down as well. When the dust cleared... both meisters were down.
"From what I can tell," Roy commented on the end result, "Each Soul Resonance was not only too much for the boys, but quite powerful attacks as well. I can officially say that there's no winner here, but no loser either..."
