Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 537: Ajax's Trick



"Hey, Ed, I think you have your grandma\'s genes," Ajax said. Misunderstanding that she was his real grandma.

"What are you trying to say?" Edward asked, although he had an idea what he meant.

"You know, she\'s not tall and you..."

"DONT YOU DARE!" Edward growled.

"Hahaha, you are still as loud as before, kid." the old little lady spoke.

"Granny!" Edward greeted her.

"What have you done now?" She asked him while smoking her pipe.

"A lot has happened, can you fix this up?" Edward said.

He then introduced the two companions. "This is Major Alex Louis Armstrong and this is our stalker Ajax."

"HEY! I\'m your protector. Also, this is Hats, grandma." Ajax sweetly introduced Hats too.

The old lady shook Ajax\'s hand, "I am Pinako Rockbell."

She then stepped back and looked at Edward. "I know I haven\'t seen you in a while Ed but you have gone and grown smaller."

"BWAHAHAHAHA..." Ajax rolled in laughed.

"MWAHAHAHA..." Even Hats laughed uncontrollably.

"Hey, Granny, you\'ve got it wrong. You\'re supposed to say \'How big you\'ve grown lately, Ed\'" Edward gritted his teeth and corrected her.

"And why would I say something so clearly untrue?" She asked.

Edward started growling, "I\'M STILL TALLER THAN YOU, MINI HAG."

Ajax and Hats were still laughing at him and making him angrier.

*BAM*

A wild wrench came and collided with Edward\'s head. Then came a girl on the balcony of the house. After a few more chats, they were invited in.

Edward showed his shattered arm to Winry. It wasn\'t even recognizable and looked like pieces of junk metal.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" She screamed after seeing the condition of her handmade prosthetic arm.

"Yeah, sorry, It\'s a little smashed up," Edward said while sipping on coffee.

"A little? Do you even see what you\'ve done to my beautiful creation? I slaved over this." Winry cried.

*Sip*

"It\'s basically the same, just in smaller 3pieces." Edward smugly said.

*BAM*

"Al, are you a little smashed up too?" She asked, looking at Alphonse sitting in the box.

"Hehe..."

*BAM*

Then she looked at Ajax and Hats sitting on the sofa and eating biscuits. "What about you two?"

Ajax quickly replied, "Oh, I am fine and dandy, also, I\'m a 5-year-old kid, beating me would be child abuse."

"And beating me would be animal abuse," Hats added.

*Sigh*

"Well, it\'s hard to believe. A five year old and as tall as Ed." She muttered.

"Then a talking cat, but honestly, after knowing Alphonse, nothing surprises me."

After that, granny checked the work that needed to be done and gave them a 3-day estimate for the repairs to be done. Meanwhile, they all went to look around the little village.

Ajax went out to see the farm with Alphonse\'s injured armor being pulled by him on a small cart that he made himself.

"Hmm, I must say, this little village does seem peaceful. The air is so fresh too. Much better than the East City." Ajax commented.

"Yeah, it was always like this. We grow our own food here and only go to the city to buy tools." Alphonse reminisced about his old days.

"Hey, Al. What happened to your body? You said you\'d tell me later." Ajax asked. He was dying to ask this question since he found about the empty armor body of Alphonse.

*Sigh*

Alphonse made a sound of sighing even though he could not breathe. "Well, a few years back. Our mother passed away in a plague. We didn\'t know where dad was as he had left us a long time ago.

Ed and I decided to use human transmutation to bring her back to life. But, what we didn\'t know was that doing this requires a cost. A cost we couldn\'t pay. He lost his one arm and leg and I lost my whole body. We are now trying to get our bodies back somehow."

"That\'s it? Why didn\'t you tell me all this when my grandpa was here? He could have given you your body and Ed his limbs. Well, anyway, we\'ll do that when we see him again." Ajax said as a matter of fact that his grandpa can fix everything.

"Can he really do it?" Alphonse asked, not seriously believing him.

"Of course, hey, what is this place?" Ajax asked when they reached the ruins of a house.

Edward came from behind and answered him, "This used to be our home until we destroyed it."

"Oh, bad memories I guess. But, didn\'t it also hold happy memories for you two?" Ajax asked.

"It did, but what\'s done is done now," Edward replied. He knew that it would take a lot of time to build it back and he wasn\'t in the mood to spend that much time on this yet, not when he still had to get Alphonse his body back.

"What are you saying? Wait, I\'ll show you a trick. Just watch." Ajax announced and enthusiastically went ahead and stood in the middle of the ruin.

"My grandpa taught me this because I break stuff too much," Ajax said.

He closed his eyes and focused. He started waving his hand around.

To the shock of the Elric brothers, the stones and wood on the ground started moving and soon the house started to fix itself.

Little by little, all kinds of broken wood and stones stuck under the ground also came out. It all looked like magic. After waiting for 10 minutes and gawking, there stood a house just like their own. Ajax also made slight changes to make it even better. For example, a better bathroom.

A good bathroom was always a good addition to a home, after all, that\'s where you spend some of your life\'s most satisfying moments. Like when you pee after holding for too long and when you let yourself lose after waiting to reach home and do it. Ajax thought.

It was all small joys of life but had a bigger meaning.

Soon, the front door opened and Ajax walked out with a big smile on his face. "So, did you like my trick?"

"WHAT?"

"HOW?"

"Hehe, I told you not to underestimate me." Ajax proudly laughed.

Edward ran into his house and it was the same as before. Except for all the personal belongings that they had taken away, all the furniture was the same.

"This is amazing. You really rebuilt our house." Alphonse exclaimed.

"No, not rebuilt, but returned it to its earlier state. I just made the objects stack themselves up as they were." Ajax explained.

"WAIT! why didn\'t you fix Edward\'s arm then?" Alphonse asked.
