I woke up to the smell of burnt gunpowder and debris all over the place. At first I was confused, then I remembered my genius idea. What was I thinking to be honest? To shoot a barrel of gunpowder? How did I think that was going to end up? ..Whatever
The entire room was demolished, destroyed pretty much everywere. There must have been a lot of gunpowder considering all the damage that was displayed. I pulled myself to my feet, trying to wipe some of the debris off me. Luckily, it was only shards of glass and small pieces of cobblestone. Nothing too serious. After I was on my feet, I tried to find the door that was here before. What I found was something completely different. The place where the wall had been, was now completely demolished. Was this place designed to be destroyed? Who would do that?
I shrugged, seeing as how either way it doesn't mean much of a difference to me. I walked around the destroyed pieces of the room, trying not to make anything collapse, just to make the situation worse, a cobblestone piece from the cieling dropped and almost hit me on the head. That's it. I'm out of here. I went a full sprint into the dark hall behind the ruins of the door. I had no idea where I was going but the floor was wet, and it was very dark. Eventually, I came unto another room, this one smaller than the other. Actually, a lot smaller, like bedroom size. The room was dark as hell, yet luckily there was a torch on the side wall. I picked it up and walked in. It wasn't that dark, but my eyes were already adjusted to the darkness so I could tell how big the room was.
I looked around, seeing all sorts of gems and spectacular items of untold valuables lying around. They don't really interest me. I don't really care for money or gold or anything really, just not for me I guess. I saw there were unlit torches around the walls of the small room, so I lit them with the current torch I had. Once I lighted them all I swear I heard some kind of melody play before the ground started to shake. I braced myself, for the floor might collapse. Luckily, it didn't and a slot opened in the ground. Slowly a tomb of some sort moved upwards before coming to a halt.
I looked over the tomb, paying attention to it's detail, design, and age. It was very, very old. I couldn't help but feel a sense of remorse for this guy, as if I once knew him or was related to him. I knew he was of the brotherhood, seeing as how puzzled tombs were a common burial. However, only the highest of the brotherhood can obtain such an honor...Who is this man? No wait, maybe it's a pony. But...I thought I'm the only human here?
Slowly I opened the tomb, removing the cover off the top. As it slid off, dust and smoke went everywere. "Damnit! *Cough*" Note to self, when removing old tombcovers do not breath in suddenly because you were holding your breath of the excitement. After rubbing my eyes, I caught sight of the inside of the old coffin. Nothing. Well that's kind of wei-NOTHING?!? WHAT? I frantically searched around the sides of the coffin like an idiot, as if the dead man was hiding from me, but found nothing at all! Confused I looked deeper into the old coffin, and found something surprising. Another trademark wrist blade, yet it isn't like my current one at all.
Taking a closer look I saw( and remember it's really dark in here even with the torches around. ) instead of just the general leather strap, wrist, glove thingy, it was like a gauntlet, Extending all the way to your shoulder. I slowly pulled it out of the coffin, and it dangled a bit; which is good since it's obviously flexible. What surprised me was that instead of leather, it was a flexible but very hard metal. It basically looks like the arm on a midevil knight but not so hard to move around. It had a faint glow to it which kind of freaked me out. What was I holding? This is definately not iron, so what is it?
Moving closer to the light, I could see an inscription on the side of arm. It read, "Dragonite, T77WB". Hmm...Dragonite huh? This will be interesting, some kind of metal I've never heard of. You learn something new every day, don't you? I decided to take off my covering jacket so I could get this thing on. I mean, it's not he's going to use it....Wherever he is, that is. During the process of my jacket being taken off, i never realized how badly it was torn and destroyed during the fall. It literally tore right before my eyes, rendering itself useless. Fuck.
Then again, I don't really need it, since I'm not exactly hiding from anybody. Or anypony for that matter...I kind of stick out don't I? Damnit, why am I so human? With my jacket destroyed, my identity is revealed. Now it's just my simple T-Shirt, that has the brotherhood's symbol on it. I wonder where I got that. Anyways, I put my hand in the mechanism, which I shouldn't even call a wrist blade anymore. It pretty much takes up my entire arm, even my hand which is covered in metal just like a knight in full body armor.
With it sucesfully on, I now know what it's like to have a metal arm. AND ITS AWESOME! I can just punch the wall and I can't even feel anything! I thought to myself encouraging words before punching the wall in a awkward pose. The pain shook my bones, and I vibrated up and down like in the cartoons. Okay, maybe not, I DID FEEL THAT. Looking back at the wall, I could see a clear crack, reaching for a good 2 feet across. That's incredible, I didn't know I had that much in me. I struck a pose, flexing to myself. Okay, well seeing as how there is no where to go, I guess I should find the secret way out. What? Seriously, theres always some secret door or something. Let's see...How about this, nope, or this? Seems not. Oh, oh! Of course! I mentally facepalmed before trying to pull down the only torch that I couldn't light. It moved just like a lever should, and the wall to my right opened up, revealing steps. I chuckled to myself before running straight up the steps.

A/N: Okay, heres the thing about the new weapon I'm introducing. If anyone here knows about FMA:Full Metal Alchemist, then this will be easy for you. I'm basically using Ed's metal arm for this story. For those who are smart, I bet you know where the blade is ;)
As for updates, I'm sorry, I've been really busy. I promise another chapter today, 5/7/12. As for those who are too lazy to look up what the arm looks like. Here,
