Amestris wilderness

“Well...I simply can't let a young girl wander into dangerous territory by herself,”

"Hey! I can't be much younger than you!" Melanie exclaimed, looking a bit annoyed "We're the same height!"

"Does she even need your protection?"

Melanie turned to Didymus, still not knowing what to make of him but happy at least someone was observant. "Thank you! I don't! But I am really intrested in what he's seen, benders and such. No one like that comes around where I lived."

Military HQ

Eva had given a friendly hello to this man...And now he was shoving a picture of a little girl in her face?

Winry had some weird friends....But the little child in the picture was exceedingly adorable.

Eva sweatdropped a bit, giving a laugh "She's very cute" she confirmed...As if Hughes needed confirmation of THAT.

And once again it seemed like they were off!

Yuna looked at Harris intently… this man was familiar to her. She could not immediately place where she knew him from, but she did know that this was not the first time she had seen him.

She wanted to ask him a question, when suddenly the situation tensed. Belleza’s guards moved forward, and Harris and his soldiers seemed ready for battle. Yuna shook her head – this would not happen now!

“Valefor, please lend me your strength!” Yuna twirled her staff in the air and suddenly a bright light shone in the air above them. Suddenly, a gigantic bird-like beast appeared in between the two parties.

Valefore was here.

Valefor flapped its wings, sending sonic waves at both groups – they would knock them back but not harm anyone.

“Enough! I will not tolerate violence!” Yuna shouted.

[Amestris Wilderness]

Garent paused, taken aback by Forge’s… personality. She took a step back and looked over to Didymus and Steiner… both of the noble warriors wanted her to hurry onward, but she shook her head.

“It is not my intention to shun anyone’s company. Please try to understand… this creature is similar to the ones I seek to summon. I feel… kindred with it. I cannot possibly explain these feelings, but I feel that this creature may know something that could help me! Is it not worth the risk of staying a bit longer to learn these answers?”

[Laboratory Five]

For the sake of expedience, soon Hughes, his soldiers and the group had arrived. Lab 5 was officially not in use. The only people who came by were those who worked at the prison next door… and guards.

Lab Five, despite being ‘abandoned’ had more military guards than Mustang’s office. However, those guards were not around at the moment… Garland had dismissed them earlier.

Ed frowned. “Something isn’t right Lieutenant Colonel…”

Winry nudged Eva. “What do you suppose is in there?”

[…]

Inside, Garland led Beatrix into a secret room. Strange symbols were on the walls and the ceiling, and there was a large pool of an odd red liquid in the middle of the room. The floor was also covered in what seemed to be transmutation circles.

“… Beatrix. Do you know how Amestris was founded? It happened decades before your parents were born. It exists for the sole purpose of conquering all of the continent. That is why they constantly make war.”

Garland looked over to her. “Alexandria has allied with them because I know the truth behind truths. Do you want to know that truth, Beatrix? Do you want to know what your sword has helped accomplish?”

When Valefor suddenly appeared and swished its wings, Harris was able to remain standing. It was to be expected, he was a Paladin, on the verge of being promoted to a full-fledged elder.

He regarded Yuna a bit. As quickly Belleza and her soldiers, along with Harris' escorts, hurried to their feet, eying Valefor nervously.

Belleza smirked.

"A summoner. No wonder you looked so out of place and had no idea what was going on. You're from the Spiran Cluster, aren't you? But why do you defend the Paladin? I'd think that a Yevonite Summoner and a Christian Paladin would be...opposed." she said.

Harris regarded Yuna warily, and Belleza. Belleza went on.

"We don't NEED to fight..." she said. "...tell me, summoner, what is it you want?"

Belleza always tried to be diplomatic-at first, at least. Or maybe she was just buying time for her troops to reinforce her position.

Some of the local aristocracy fled the room.

Harris looked back and forth, and simply waited for Yuna to speak.

Amestris wilderness

Didymus and Steiner nodded, slowly, but Didymus spoke up.

"Then I wish to listen in...or at least remain right here next to you..." he said.

"As do I." Steiner added.

"Of course...you're right, a few more secrets could be worth our tallying a bit longer...unless, of course, they're coming with us, then we can chat on the way..." Didymus said.

He regarded Melanie.

"You don't need his protection? I suppose I should hope you'd be safe...but what are you even doing out here...? I'm afraid Central City may not be too welcoming of guests...they are in the mood to apprehend anyone who even looks suspicious or strange to them at this point, probably..." he said.

Outside Lab 5

The soldiers were taking their positions outside the lab, cordoning off exits, preparing to breach.

"Alright..." Hughes said. "The Fuhrer knows all about this operation, and in fact was very interested in it, so let's try not to mess it up. Ed, according to what I've read, there is NOTHING right about this place. Let's crack her open and see what's inside, hmm? Just be careful. Of course, I suppose with Winry right next to you, you'll be EXTRA sure not to break your automail!"

He paused.

"On second thought...maybe she shouldn't go in. I don't think I will, either...perhaps she should just stay out here with the men and I. We wouldn't want anything to happen to her, right? Or, you, was it...Eva?" he added.

Inside Lab 5

Beatrix was uneasy. She was known as cold, stern and unflinching, but even she was put off by the chamber in which she now stood.

"Sire...what is this place? And Amestris...founded to conquer? It's...it's been waging war for...was it not centuries? Right as Galdwin won the Fiend War, I believe, Amestris arose...and slowly conquered...but..."truth behind truths"? Are you speaking of philosophy, theology, or...are you referring to THAT?"

Beatrix was aware of the rumors about the "Philosopher's Stone". Some people called it that. Others called it the "Necromancer's Stone". That second name was an indication of the rumors.

They had allied with them recently, despite Garland's knowledge of this?! ANd HER sword...?

Footsteps could be heard.

"Back again, Garland? Are you SURE the Rose of May will not wither-or, perhaps, turn from red to white when she sees this?" a female voice asked.

Lust stood in the room, with her usual smirk.

“Anything else you'd like to know?” Forge wondered, jumping back into Crystal's arms for now, “And you could summon me anytime, but unfortunately, I can only work for Adepts. Oi, Garet, when are we gonna find that Mia? Or Jenna even!”

Garet sighed, shaking his head, “Calm down Forge...I'm worried about everyone too.”


“I'm still an experienced fight,” Galv told Melanie, “We can help each other.”

He very clearly wanted to go with the girl. For reasons he wasn't even entirely sure of.

“But you're right, Brother. Central is dangerous...Miss Melanie, what is it you are searching for? Perhaps it can be found elsewhere, such as Ankh-Morpork?”

"I'm not searching for anything" Melanie said, only half telling the truth "I heard about problems in Central and decided I wanted to go and help any way I could"

This seemed like a good enough answer for now (but in reality was rather weak). If she told them the whole truth they would know she was a witch and bad things would probably happen. She gave them both a nervous smile, hoping they would buy her excuse.

Didymus hesitated.

So this girl was Amestrisian? And she wanted to help?

Was she one of their state alchemists?

"...I mean no offense..." he started.

"...but do you think they'd accept your help? If you'd pardon my saying so, are you a state alchemist? A lot did happen in Central..." he said, omitting their own parts in that-"...but would they accept your help?"

He was wary...and Amestris could come at them again soon. He wanted to get moving.

KxS gulped, hearing that Cess wanted to travel with the Paladins. The very...very...scary...Paladins. She finally just nodded, willing to follow Cess, Sam, and Shimera.

The Star-Maiden was hanging on a tree by her legs. "I think the Paladins are nice. When you try to talk to them, they don't yell 'GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU CRAZY HIPPIE!'" she giggled.

Amestris wilderness

If you'd pardon my saying so, are you a state alchemist

Melanie looked confused for a moment before shaking her head very fast "Oh no no no! I'm not one of them...I had just heard about what was happening in Central and...er...wanted to help"

The girl trailed off a bit, but then gave both of them a polite curtsy once more.

"Look, I appreciate you not stealing all my stuff and everything but perhaps I should just go. I'd just be causing trouble if I stayed."

Didymus raised an eyebrow. This girl was becoming even more suspicious. What if...if she was an Amestris spy or something. If she ran off to Central and reported where they were, who exactly formed their band...

...again, he wanted to hurry up and get going. Still, he questioned Melanie further.

"Again, I aplogize, but what DID you hear was happening in Central? And why would they even accept your help? And no offense, but you don't come off at first glance as someone who they'd look to, if I may say so..."

Something was telling Galv not to let Melanie leave without him. Probably his other RP counterparts...

“You don't want to help Central,” Galv said, “They have...monsters there. Monsters running the place too...”

He shuddered slightly, remembering the feeling the Homunculus gave off...

“It's dangerous to go alone,” Galv told Melanie, “If you insist on going to Central, I can not in good conscience let you go alone.”



“Don't hang in trees when you're wearing a dress, Shimera,” Cess sighed, shaking his head, but found himself smirking slightly.

“I do hope they don't realize I'm a necromancer...” he muttered softly.

"That's exactly why I want to help!" Melanie exclaimed, becoming a bit frustrated. Perhaps it was because she had been lost for the last few days in the woods and the only people she had seen probably would try to attack her if they knew she was a witch....And the redhead wasn't backing down.

".....Fine" she finally said quietly and a bit grudgingly. "You may accompany me to Central"

Once more she avoided telling the two why she was going. She just wanted to get there.

Yuna looked over to Belleza, her mismatched eyes narrowed.

"A summoner. No wonder you looked so out of place and had no idea what was going on. You're from the Spiran Cluster, aren't you? But why do you defend the Paladin? I'd think that a Yevonite Summoner and a Christian Paladin would be...opposed."

“Yes, I am from the Spiran Cluster.” Yuna did not reveal her identity, however. “I defend this Paladin and the soldiers of Galdwin because you attack deceitfully. He came as an envoy to discuss a means of ending this situation and you attack him in such a manner? I find that deplorable. Whatever my view of his country or beliefs, or their view of the Cluster, I cannot stand idly by and allow such behavior!”

Yuna looked from Belleza to Harris. She stayed her ground between then, not wanting to fight either of them.

"...tell me, summoner, what is it you want?"

“I came to this city in search of someone. However, at this time, what I want is to prevent any further bloodshed. You both have powerful armies, but I ask you to find a peaceful solution. If there must be a show of force today, it will be from me… and I assure you, neither of you have power enough to withstand it.”

Valefor sat behind Yuna, the giant bird-creature watching and protecting Yuna and Rikku… if either side attacked, they would face something much worse than wind…

[Amestris Wilderness]

“… Tell me, Sir Garet, where do you intend to go?” Garnet asked, looking at Garet as she thought about what her two bodyguards had just said. “I would like to learn more about Adepts… and your summoning abilities.”

Zidane crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. “I dunno… you have your own powers, why worry about their’s? Especially if you can’t use them?”

Garnet shook her head. “Perhaps if I could learn how Adepts summon, I could find a way of accessing my own summoning powers…”

[Outside Lab 5]

Ed looked to Winry and Eva… if Eva was half as obsessed with machines as Winry, he knew he couldn’t keep her out – and he already knew keeping Winry out was impossible.

“Hughes, I don’t see why they should wait outside.” Ed lied. He didn’t like endangering the girls, but he also knew he couldn’t keep them out, so why try?

“Sir, we found something interest over he—”

One of the soldiers started to call out for Hughes, but his words were “cut” short.

It’s a pun, because his head was chopped off.

“Oh, hello! Been a while since we had so many unauthorized visitors! Hehehe…”

Barry the Chopper grinned.

[Laboratory 5]

Garland looked over to Lust as she appeared and he shrugged his shoulders.

“It cannot be helped. General Beatrix is a skilled swordswoman and one of the finest warriors Alexandria has ever produced. No match for me, of course, but still quite skilled… I would rather she join us than oppose us.”

Garland turned to look at Beatrix. “… General, I am referring to the fact that the wars Amestris starts are for one purpose – the death toll. It does not matter if it is Amestris soldiers, the soldiers of other nations, or civilians. As long as there is death, there will be resources. Are you familiar with the Philosopher’s Stone?”

Garland shrugged again. “Even if you are not, it doesn’t matter… soon, the entirety of this and all nations will be irrelevant. Those who are… worthy… may have a role to play in the new world we shall forge. You are perhaps worthy of playing a part… you are perhaps, one of the precious ones… so I ask you to stand with us, Beatrix. Lead Alexandria’s armies alongside Amestris to crush Galdwin and Hyrule.”

Belleza smirked.

"Oh dear." she said. "It seems there is no way around this. By the way, before you ask, he did not come here to discuss a peaceful end to this. He came here to demand I move my fleet to a position that would be disadvantageous compared to where it is now-at which point they would butcher my women." she said.

"I would have preferred it if you surrendered..." Harris said to Belleza,
then looked to Yuna.

"...and you, although I may have issue with the means by which it is provided, I thank you for your support. However..."

"I have no intentions of backing down." Belleza said. "And I think you may be surprised, summoner, at what my fleet has at its disposal." She and her soldiers were backing up...

"...however, if the price of YOUR leaving my fleet in peace is that I must let this Paladin go..." she sighed, and it looked like she was truly hurt.

"...then he may do so. Although I know he will only return to fight..."

Harris paused, regarding Yuna.

"I shall go. Feel free to come with me, if you wish, and I can fill you in on what has occured. Or stay here, but the air fleet with which I have traveled will be besieging this city-at least, its garrison...we will not be attacking it directly-yet, at least-but you may prefer to escape before things heat up...and another thing." He regarded her more earnestly.

"You are brave to threaten us, but you may be surprised at what happens when a Paladin is on the field. Squaring off against the types of things you can summon...is not an entirely unfamiliar concept to us."

His expression softened.

"Nonetheless, please, feel welcome to come along, and your friends, if you like. At least for a bit. Besides, I AM interested in knowing what the Cluster, or at least YOU, of all people, are doing here. It's been a few years, if you remember me. On that subject, I suppose my former Templar charge would send his regards." he grinned slightly.


Rikku looked puzzled.

"Yunie, you know this guy?" she asked.

Amestris wilderness

"If you truly believe that is what you're being called to do..." Didymus said to Galv.

But then he regarded Garnet.

"Lady Garnet, please. I..." he sighed.

"I am tasked to protect you. I do want to get moving quickly, but...I...it is your call here, I suppose. Of course, if Garet were to come along with us, I suppose this problem is resolved..." he fidgeted.

"Still, please, let us make our decision quickly."

Outside Lab 5

"Well, if you-WHAT THE?!"

Hughes noticed that Barry had appeared. Immediately, the soldiers around opened fire.

I cleared this op with the Fuhrer... Hughes thought. ...does he know that there are...armor-wearing lunatics on the grounds?

Inside Lab 5

Beatrix paused.

"Re...resources? Those who are "worthy"? I have heard the rumors around the Philosopher's Stone...or Necromancer's Stone...are you saying..."

She looked at the red liquid.

"They're true? And your talk of a new world order? What...what, exactly, are you planning? Sire...are you asking me to lead a war of conquest against Galdwin, Hyrule...and what of the dwarves in Baldar? And all this...just to claim lives? To...what are you asking of me, exactly?" She spoke as coolly and calmly as she could, but she was facing some rather...troubling things.

Lust shrugged back.

"It's too late to turn back now, it seems." she said. "Also, we should be careful. I saw your daughter recently...her escort was...most bothersome."

She held up her hand, the fingernails of which were still burnt.

"Speaking of careful, the Chopper was released recently..." she said. "...we may have guests soon. Shall I go to greet them myself? As...wounded...as I am, I think I can still deal with some military goons." she said.

"......Wow. I didn't know there were more people like Al" Eva noted, noticing the similarities in Barry and Al...And being a bit confused and worried about it. After all Barry seemed to have a giant butchers knife and a homicidal feel to him.

...Oh and there was the dead soldier, lying bloody on the ground.

Hughes opened fire and Eva stood back, now in an actual panic "W-Who in the world is THAT?!"

“Don't hang in trees when you're wearing a dress, Shimera,”

Shimera giggled again. "Whoops! Alrighy, then!" she said, floating back down on her feet and straightened out her dress. "So, we heading off, or are we just gonna stand here?"

KxS sighed once more.
