"...Al! Alphonse!! Alphonse?! DAMN! Damn! How could this have happened!? It...It wasn't supposed to be like this..."
Teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning...
"Oh no..."
...Because humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
"HE'S GONE...!!"
"Not yet, kitten, you still have a way to save him."
"HARRY!?"

Chapter One: The Three Alchemists
----
"Children of God who dwell on the earth, there is no salvation without prayer and faith. The sun god, Leto, will illuminate thy path. Behold! The lord hath descended from his heavenly throne to save thee from all thy sins. For I am thy father...I am the emissary of the sun god..."
"...A religious broadcast on the radio?" Alphonse asked incredously.
"Emissary of the sun god?" Edward asked sticking a forkful of food into his mouth.
"Stupid," Harry stated, face blank.
Edward continued as if his lover had not spoken, "What the heck is that?"
The old store owner looked at the three funny, "Actually, I was going to ask the same thing about you three...Are you guys street performers or something?
Alphonse looked up in shock, Edward spit his drink out, and Harry's head slipped from his hand and hit the counter. The blonde of the group glared, "Hey, wait a minute, pops! What is it about us that makes you think we're street performers!?"
Harry lifted his head from the counter, "Why can't anyone think that we're just a family visiting town?"
The store owner raised an eyebrow, "Are you?"
Edward played with his straw, resting his head in his hand, "Sort of. We're trying to track something down, and only two of us are actually related."
The green eyed alchemist grinned evilly, "Am I not close enough to family, considering I am your lover, kitten?"
Edward's eye twitched, he opened his mouth to retort but his younger brother interrupted him, "By the way, what's this broadcast?"
The owner looked surprised, "You've never heard of father Cornello?"
Edward's previous anger disappeared and together he and his lover asked, "...who?"
The old man placed a hand on his hip, "Father Cornello, the sun god Leto's emissary!"
The town's people were starting to gather, and Harry twitched uncomfortably. "He's the founder of the church Leto. He can work miracles! He's a wonderful man who came to town a few years ago and showed us all the way of god."
"Yeah, he's amazing!"
"They're real miracles! It's the work of god!"
Edward glared at the crowd, grasping Harry's hand tightly, ceasing the male's twitching. The store owner glared at the group, "...You're not listening, are you kids?"
Harry answered in a distracted manner, "No, we're agnostic."
Edward stood abruptly, still holding the older man's hand, "Thanks for the eats. Let's go."
Alphonse stood also, recognizing Harry's nervousness. "Al, watch your head." The younger teen hit his head on the roof, causing the radio to fall and break into pieces.
"Oops."
"I warned you."
"Hey! Could you please be more careful, sir? Frankly, you shouldn't walk around wearing that suit..."
Alphonse kneeled down next to the broken radio. "Our bad. Don't worry, we'll fix it right away," Edward stated. Al started drawing a transmutation circle.
"You think you can fix it...?" the owner asked incredously.
Harry smirked, the crowd finally thinning out, "Just watch, and Al make it quick please!"
"Yes, Harry." Al crossed his hands, "Here we go..." A bright flash of light was the only indication something happened. When it cleared it revealed a completely fixed radio.
Ed pointed at it, "How's that?"
The man's eyes were wide, "That...that's amazing! Can you work miracles?!"
"Miracles?" the short teen blanched.
Al placed a hand of his hip, "We're just alchemists."
Harry crossed his arms and stood silently behind his younger lover. "We're just the Elric brothers. A lot of people have heard of us."
"Elric, eh...the Elric brothers?"
"Yeah, I've heard of you guys!"
"They say the older brother is a state alchemist they call the 'Fullmetal Alchemist,' Edward Elric!!" Harry placed a hand on Ed's shoulder as everyone rushed by the two and to Al.
"So you're the master alchemist that everyone's talking about!!"
"Oh, I get it! They call you 'Fullmetal' because you wear this armor!"
"Wow, cool!"
"Can I have your autograph?"
Al laughed nervously and pointed at Ed, "Uh, no...It's not me. It's him!"
"Huh?"
"You mean the little guy?"
Edward snapped. "I'M NOT LITTLE! DON'T CALL ME MIDGET! OR SHORTY! OR SHRIMP!" Many things were thrown and Harry laughed.
"You look cute when you're mad, kitten!"
Al pointed at himself, "I'm the younger brother, Alphonse Elric."
Ed also pointed at himself, "It's me! I'm the 'Fullmetal Alchemist'!! Edward Elric!!!"
"Sorry about that...but if you're the Elric brothers, then who's he?" a man asked, pointing Harry.
Harry blinked pointing at himself, "Me? I'm Harry Potter, the 'Mage Alchemist'."
"WHA-?" A young woman with bi-colored hair ran up, interrupting what the store owner was going to say.
"Good day, sir! You're busy today, it seems," the woman called brightly.
"Oh, hello, Rose," the owner called back. The three alchemists just watched silently, Harry staring at the girl intently, not that she noticed. "Going to the temple today?" the owner asked, starting to place things in their rightful place.
Rose's face split into a smile as she pulled money out, "Uh-huh, with some offerings. The usual, please." The old man started to place things in a paper bag. Rose turned slightly and noticed the trio. "Oh, some new faces..."
"Yeah, they're alchemists...they say they're looking for something," the owner commented off handedly. Al and Ed greeted her politely, but Harry didn't speak simply nodding, not taking his gaze off.
Rose grabbed her bag and as she walked off she turned, brown and pink hair swinging, "I hope you find what you're searching for. May Leto bless you!" Then she disappeared down the road.
One of the town's men grinned, "Rose's become so happy lately."
Another man agreed, "Uh-huh, and it's all thanks to the father."
Harry's eyes narrowed. "Huh?" was Edward's intelligent response.
The store owner was the one to answer, "Not only does that girl have no family, but she lost her boyfriend last year in an accident..."
"It was hard to see her so sad. I felt really bad for her," a man sitting at the counter added on.
The first towns men who had spoken spoke again, grinning, "That's when she was saved by father Cornello! He taught her about the sun god Leto!"
The other one also spoke again, "Preach on! He raises the dead, and the souls of his faithful live forever. Cornello's miracles prove it. You should see them for yourself! It's definitely the power of god!"
Edward let a breath out, blowing a blonde strand of hair out of his eyes. "Raise the dead, huh? I don't like the sound of that..."
Harry's green gaze was still trained on where Rose had disappeared. "Har?" Al asked uncertainly.
Said male turned to Al, his normally bright eyes solemn, "She's not truly happy, what she and her lover had had been true love. She would do anything to have him back."
Edward grunted in response, and Alphonse made a whining noise.
----
"I tell you, pray and have faith. All thy prayers will be answered, and the grace of his light shall shine upon all of his children."
An old man, pressed a switch to off and one of his followers smirked, "A fine sermon, your holiness."
The other follower smiled gratefully, "Yes, thank you, your holiness! It's always an honor to hear you preach."
Rose distinct voice suddenly called, "Your holiness!"
Cornello stood and smiled at Rose, "Oh, it's you, Rose. My, so dedicated! You're an example to us all."
The bi-colored haired woman smiled sheepishly, "No, I'm just doing my duty." The girl wrung her hands nervously, her tone shy, "Um...by the way father...when will you be able to...?"
Nobody seemed to notice the slight sinister tone Cornello's smile turned. "Yes, I know what you ask. God has seen your good deeds."
Rose's expression brightened considerably, "Then...!"
Cornello placed a withered hand on the female's shoulder, "But it is not yet time, Rose. You understand don't you? Hmm?"
Rose's earlier expression fell, "...yes, father. You're right...not yet..." Rose turned and left, not hearing her beloved father's words.
"That's a good girl, Rose."
----
Harry leaned back against the so called sun god's statue, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He took a drag and tilted his head back, a thin ring of smoke escaping his mouth. Harry's eyes narrowed in thought and he barely acknowledged Rose when she entered the church. "Oh, you three again! Are you going to join the church of Leto?"
The older one of the trio scoffed, taking the cancer stick out of his mouth, "Does it look like it?" Smoke spilled from his lips as he spoke and his half lidded gaze pierced Rose's own startled stare.
"Naw...sorry, but we're not religious," Edward stated, absently, not really paying attention to Rose, more concerned for his lover.
Rose closed her eyes and placed a hand on her chest, "That's not a real answer! If you believe in god, you can live with hope and gratitude every day. It's wonderful!" She suddenly clenched her hands in front of her and said happily, "If you have faith, you'll grow taller for sure! Miracles do happen!"
Al held his brother back stating calmly, also concerned for his brother's lover, "She's not saying it to be mean."
Ed sighed and plopped down onto the pews in the front, sighing, "Sheesh...How can you honestly believe these things? Do you really believe that if you pray to god the dead will come back to life?"
Rose closed her eyes, "Yes. I do...!"
Harry scoffed again, "Pathetic." He took another drag and started listing, "Water: 35 liters. Carbon: 20 kg. Ammonia: 4 liters. Lime: 1.5 kg. Phosphorus: 800 g. Salt: 250 g. Saltpeter: 100 g. Sulfur: 80 g. Fluorine: 7.5 g. Iron: 5 g. Silicon: 3 g, and fifteen other elements in small quantities."
Rose blinked confuse, "...Huh?"
Ed turned his own half-lidded gaze to Rose, "That's the total chemical makeup of the average adult body. Modern science knows all of this, but there has never been a single example of successful human transmutation."
The 'Mage' alchemist blew a stream of smoke out and in a dreamy voice he stated, "It's like there's some missing ingredient..."
The blonde continued, "Scientists have been trying to find it for hundreds of years, pouring tons of money into research, and to this day they don't have a theory. They say science is a lost cause, but I think it's better than sitting around praying and waiting for something to happen."
Harry crushed his cigarette beneath his boot, "People like you disgust me."
"For that matter," Ed continued as if his lover had not spoken. "The elements found in human beings are all junk you can buy in any market with a child's allowance. Humans are pretty cheaply made."
Rose growled, "People aren't objects! That's an insult to the creator! God will punish you for saying things like that!!"
The short teen laughed loudly, "Alchemists are scientists. We don't believe in improvable concepts like 'God'. We strive to uncover the principles of creation in the matter of the world, to pursue truth..."
The black haired seventeen years old clapped lazily, "Bravo, kitten, bravo. Beautifully said."
Edward smirked, "Thank you, Mage."
Harry smirked in return, "You're welcome, Fullmetal." Harry then turned to Rose, snorting, "It's ironic, stupid really, that we scientists are the closest thing to god that will ever happen."
Rose frowned, glowering, "What pride...Are you saying that you are god's equal?"
Edward smirked, placing a hand on his knee, "Well...it's like that myth about the hero...he made wings out of wax so he could fly, but when he got too close to the sun...to god...the wax melted and he crashed to the ground..." The trio left, leaving a confused girl behind, staring at a smoldering cigarette.
----
Harry scowled darkly as they stood at the back of the crowd and watched Cornello bring 'happiness' to the town. "...what do you think?" Ed asked, standing on his suitcase.
Al placed his hand on his hips, "That kind of transmutation has to be alchemy."
Ed snorted, "That's what I thought too."
The last part of the trio laughed, placing his hands behind his head, "But, he is bypassing all laws, what about that?"
Rose noticed the three and immediately came over, making Harry's scowl return. "So you came to see him after all! See!? He does have miraculous powers. Father Cornello is the sun god's child!"
Ed placed a hand on his chin, "Naw, that's alchemy, no matter how you look at it. Cornello's a fraud."
Al turned to his older brother, "But he can bypass the laws for some reason." Nobody noticed Harry staring rather intently, and with an evil glint in his eyes, at Cornello.
The blonde scratched the back of his head, "Yeah...that's the problem right there."
Rose stared at them, "The laws?"
"Most people think that alchemy can do anything and create whatever you want, but in reality there are certain concrete laws. I guess the two big concepts are 'The law of conservation of mass' and 'the law of natural providence.' Although some alchemists conjure with the four elements or with the three principles..."
Rose just stared at him in shock and confusion. Al noticed, "Um...let me try...A substance can only be created from the same type of substance. For example, if something's mostly water, you can only use it to make other things with the attributes of water."
Ed closed one eye, and folded his arms across his stomach, "In other words, the basics of alchemy are the 'equivalent exchange'! That means that to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost. But that old guy is making too much out of too little...alchemy-wise, that's breaking the law."
Rose threw her arms up in the air, "See? So why don't you three just have faith that it's a miracle already?!"
Harry's face split in a grin and he leaned back to look at his lover, "Kitten, there's something shiny and red on Cornello-fraud's finger!"
Edward's face went intense, "We've found it." Doing a complete 180 he spun around and called out to Rose, "Hey lady, we're starting to get interested in this religion! We'd love to speak to his holiness. Do you think you could take us to him?"
Rose clasped her hands together, "Oh my! So you're finally starting to believe!"
Harry raised an eyebrow, "Gullible idiot." Alphonse couldn't help but agree.
----
A man opened a door and called, "Your holiness, there are some people here who are requesting an audience with you. It's a boy, a man in a suit of armor, and another man. They say they're the Elric brothers and the Potter heir..."
Cornello sneered, "What? I'm busy-send them away. Wait, hold on. The Elric brothers and Potter heir? Edward Elric!? Potter!?"
"Yes that is what the boy called himself and the man who said Potter heir did not give his first name...do you know them?"
Cornello placed his head on his folded hands, "Aaggh...! This is bad! It's Edward Elric...the 'Fullmetal Alchemist' and the Potter heir...the 'Mage Alchemist'!"
The follower gained an icredous look, "Wha...? But they're so young, and the little brat is only this high! You're joking right!?"
Cornello rubbed his forehead, "Fool! Alchemical skill has nothing to do with age! I heard that Elric obtained the title of state alchemist at age twelve and Potter had the highest grade and show...so the rumors about the brats were really true..."
The follower started to sweat, "What are two state alchemists doing here!? Could it be our plan..."
Cornello also started to sweat, "It seems the dogs of the military have good noses."
"Shall we chase them away?"
"No, that would cause more suspicion, and even if we did chase them away, they'd come back...and bring more." Cornello smirked, "Let's just say...they never came here. How does that sound?"
The follower also smirked, "It shall be as god wills..."
----
"Right this way. His holiness is very busy, so it's not easy to get an audience with him. You three are very lucky."
Edward smirked, "I'll try not to talk for too long."
Their guide smirked and moved to take something from his jacket, "Yes, let's end it right away." Suddenly, a gun was pointed at Al's eye hole, "LIKE THIS!" The man pulled the trigger and Al's head went flying. His head and body clattered to the ground. The guards placed their flag poles against Ed and Harry's neck.
Rose twirled to face the man, "BROTHER CRAY! What are you doing!!?"
"Rose, these are heathens that were trying to entrap his holiness. They're evil."
"Wow, that sure ain't stereotypical," Harry commented sarcastically.
"What!? But his holiness would never let you do this...let you...," Rose tried desperately.
Cray smirked darkly, "He did allow it! The words of his holiness are the words of god. THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD!" Cray pointed the gun at Edward.
Harry scoffed, "Wow, totally not conceited or anything."
"Hmm..." a hand suddenly gripped the gun. "Guess there's some really bad gods out there." Al's empty shell was gripping the gun.
Cray's jaw hit the ground, "WHA...?" Ed grabbed the hand and shirt of the man to his right, just as Harry did the same to the other. In synch Harry and Ed tossed the guards over their shoulders and onto the ground hard, just as Al punched Cray in the jaw, hard. The third guard tried to run, but Ed grabbed Alphonse's helmet and chucked it.
It hit the man and Edward gave a thumb up to Harry, "All right!! Strike!"
Alphonse crossed his arms angrily, "My head...!"
Rose's face was horrified as she pointed at the empty shell, "Wh...wh...wh...WHAT IS THAT?!"
Together Harry and Edward rapped their knuckles on Alphonse. "Nothing special...," Harry stated.
"It's just what it looks like," Ed continued.
"An empty shell," Al finished.
The bi-colored haired female brought her hands to her mouth, "Th...There's nothing inside...It's empty...!?"
Al placed his head back on, "You might say...that this is what happens when you commit the greatest sin...when you trespass in god's domain. My big brother and I both, Harry too..."
"You too...Edward, Harry?"
Edward grasped his lover's hand tightly, "Well, let's save that story for another time...Anyway, I guess your god showed his true colors."
Rose got defensive, "No! It has to be some kind of mistake!!"
Harry sneered, "This is why I hate people like her, kitten." Al only sighed and Ed smirked. He then turned to Rose, serious.
"Rose...Do you have the courage to face the truth?"
----
The trio now stood in front of a plain door. Harry stared at it with a stupid expression, that was semi-disgusted, "Is this Cornello's room? The one that...female told us about?"
Ed shrugged, "Let's see." The doors creaked opened. "Hmph. I guess that means 'come on in.'"
Harry cupped a hand around his mouth and stage whispered, "Come on in, I've got cookies!"
"Welcome to the church of the great Leto."
"Welcome to the church of the great Leto, great Leto my ass," Harry mocked under his breath to Edward.
Cornello stood proudly on the stairs, "Did you come to hear me preach? Hmm?"
Edward snorted, smirking, "Yeah, by all means teach us...like about how you use your lame alchemy to deceive your followers!"
Cornello grinned grandfatherly, "Well...I'm not sure what you mean. Please don't confuse my miracles with alchemy. If you saw for yourself you'd believe..."
"Tch," the oldest of the trio growled.
Edward ignored him, "Yeah, I've seen it all right...and what I couldn't understand was how you're able to do transmutation that goes against the laws."
"That's why I'm telling you it's not alchemy..."
"And then it came to me. The Philosopher's Stone. That's how you do it, right?" Cornello froze. "Like maybe...just maybe...it's that ring?"
There was silence. Cornello gave a short laugh, "The government gets their money worth out of you, don't they? I guess you saw through the whole thing. Correct! The philosopher's stone, the legendary catalyst, the amplifier of all alchemical processes. With this, I can conjure at the minimum price, for the maximum result!"
Edward gained a slightly crazed look, "How long I've searched for that..."
Cornello still had that idiotic smile on, "Hmph! What's the jealous look in your eyes!? What do you want the stone for? Money? Honor?"
"What about you? What do you get out of finding this phony religion? If its money you want, you can make as much as you want with the stone," the eldest Elric shot back.
Cornello placed a hand on the balcony's railing, "It's not about the money. Well, I do want the money, but I can get that with almost no effort...in the form of donations from my flock." He smirked, placing a hand on his chin, "What I really need are followers who will happily give their lives for me." The old man's lips split into a huge, sinister grin. "THINK ABOUT IT! AN INVICIBLE ARMY OF FANATICS WITH NO FEAR OF DEATH! Soon I'll have more than enough people! Just watch! Within a few years time this entire nation will be mine!" He commenced to laugh in what he apparently thought was evil.
Edward moved his arms as if he was picking something up and moving it to the side, "Well, fine, but I don't really care about that..."
"WHAT!!? DON'T BELITTLE MY AMBITION BY SAYING YOU 'DON'T CARE'! YOU'D BETTER CARE! You're a member of the military, after all!!"
Ed pointed a finger at his head, "You know, to be honest, I could care less about my country or the military." He then pointed his finger at Cornello, "I'll be blunt! Give me the philosopher's stone! If you do that, I'll stay quiet about the scam you've been pulling on everybody."
"HMPH! You'd try to bargain with me...? My followers would never believe the words of an outsider like you! The people of this town love me! They think that my words come from god! No matter how much noise you make, no matter what evidence you have, they'll never listen to you! THOSE IDIOTS WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING I TELL THEM! I'VE COMPLETELY FOOLED THEM!"
Edward clapped his hands, smile on his face, Harry also clapping with him, face blank, as Ed announced, "Wow...you are smart! Thanks for telling me how you do it. You're right your followers would never listen to a word I say." Al unclipped the breast plate. Edward pointed at Rose who was tucked away inside the armor, "But what about her words?"
"R-ROSE!? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS...?" Cornello spluttered.
Rose climbed out clumsily, "FATHER!! IS EVERYTHING YOU SAID JUST NOW TRUE!? Were you fooling us this whole time!? Your miracles aren't real? The power of god can't grant my wish? YOU CAN'T BRING MY DARLING BACK AGAIN!?"
Cornello clenched his teeth before grinning slowly, "Hmm...It's true that I'm not god's emissary, but with this stone, it may be possible to transmute living beings, which so many alchemists have tried and failed. ROSE, I WILL RESURRECT HIM!"
Al turned to her, "Rose, don't listen to him!"
Cornello held a hand out, "Rose, be a good girl and come here."
Ed scowled, "If you go, you can never come back!"
Cornello motioned with his hand, "What's the matter? You belong with us."
"ROSE!" Al growled.
"I'm the only one that can grant your wish. Isn't that so? Think about your darling. AND COME!" Cornello's grin turned evil and foreboding. Rose shook, holding her hands in front of her chest tightly, all the times she spent with her lover flashing through her mind.
Before she could move forward, Harry spoke. His voice was tight, icy, and spoke truth, no matter how harsh he sounded, "Is this what your lover would want? Do you think he wants to come back? Do you think he will be happy to come back and only be a mere shadow? It would never be the same, Rose. He would want you to be happy, without him."
Rose bit her lip, what Harry said was true, but she...just couldn't. She moved forward, not looking back, "I'm so sorry, you three. But this is the only choice I can make."
Harry raised an eyebrow, "Wow, and to think I was beginning to like her, now she's just plain pathetic."
Nobody seemed to hear him. Cornello smirked darkly, "You truly are a good child..." Cornello reached behind himself and pulled a lever down, saying, "Well then...now we must eradicate these heathens who threaten the future of our faith." A low growling echoed around the chamber and a chimera appeared from the shadows, eyes glowing. "This philosopher's stone is truly incredible...it can even create new life, like this. Have you ever seen a chimera?"
Edward stared at it impassively. With a blank face he clapped his hands, "Looks like this one might be tough to play with empty handed." He knelt to the ground pressing his hands hard on the floor, "So..." Lighting flashed dangerously and dust exploded around Ed. As he stood, hand out, a spear rose from the floor.
Cornello stepped back, "Ergh...! You made a weapon from the floor without a transmutation circle?! So you deserve the title of state alchemist after all! BUT THAT STILL WON'T BE ENOUGH!!!"
Edward stared wide eyed as the chimera swung its claws at him. The claws cut through the spear and into his leg. Ed pretended to be worried, "Oh no..."
Cornello laughed, "Well?! How do you like the taste of claws that can cut through iron?"
"EDWARD!!"
Said male grinned darkly, "...PSYCH!" Three of the chimera's claws broke off, falling to the floor. Cornello's eyes were wide. Edward's leg lashed out and hit the chimera in the stomach, flinging it back. Poised with his leg in a kick, Ed smirked, "Sorry, these are custom made."
Cornello was starting to get nervous, "WH-WHAT'S THE MATTER!!? IF YOUR CLAWS WON'T WORK, THEN BITE HIM TO DEATH!!"
The chimera rushed forward, snarling. As it moved to bite the blonde, said blonde allowed his arm to be bitten. The chimera's gaze was confused and it tried to move back from the disgusting taste. Edward glared into the tri-animal, "What's the matter, kitty? Tastes bad?" Edward wasn't the one who killed the chimera.
Harry's eyes were dark and angry. He rushed forward, a blade protruding out from under his sleeve, ripping his black glove. With a silent snarl, the seventeen year old rammed his weapon straight through the heart of the animal. Ed kicked the carcass away from him. "Look at me, Rose. This is what happens when you use alchemy on humans...," Edward started. "This is what happens to sinners who trespass in god's domain!"
Cornello gulped as the young alchemist started to slip off his cloak, "Automail...full steel prosthetics. 'Fullmetal' prosthetics...so that's why..." The blonde finished pulling off the red article of clothing with a flourish, revealing the metal arm. Cornello continued, "...THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!!"
Before said alchemist could speak, Harry's voice called out, "Ooh...sexy."
Edward glared at Cornello, ignoring his lover, "Come down here and face me, you third-rate fraud. I'll show you there's no comparison between us!"
Pale arms slipped around Edward's shoulders and grinning lips revealed small fangs. Said fangs tugged on the blonde's ear and Harry's voice purred our, "You can look really sexy, kitten."
Edward's eye twitched and, despite the arms draped around his shoulders, he threw his arms up in the air, shouting, "How many times do I have do I have to tell you not to call me kitten, Harry!?"
"Ah, but you don't care if I call you sexy?" Harry drawled, moving his body closer to the smaller male. Edward froze when something brushed against his lower back.
His face paled, "Harry, whatever is poking my back had better be your gun."
"What can I say? You-"
Al spoke up interrupting the two, "Now's not the time."
Cornello, seemed oblivious to what Harry was doing to Edward, "...I see. Now I understand who you are...It was always a mystery to me why a mere brat had a fearsome alias like 'Fullmetal'...but now I know..." Rose, despite the situation, stared at the unlikely pairing, not feeling disgusted. "Look at them, Rose! Those two dared to do the one thing forbidden to alchemists...the unspeakable crime of human transmutation! THEY'VE COMMITED THE WORST POSSIBLE SIN!"
Harry stepped away from his lover, face blank, "Actually, it would be all three of us." Cornello and Rose turned to him, shocked. Harry slipped his cloak off and the rest of his ripped glove. Once the articles of clothing were off, it revealed what he was talking about. Metal replaced from his hand to his elbow, and a thin strip of metal continued up his arm, up the side of his neck and covered the missing ear. Harry moved and took his shirt off as well. More metal stared right under his arm, on his side and traveled down passed his pant line, but also continued onto his back, stopping at the middle of his back.
Rose looked at it in horror, what Edward had said at the church rushing to the front of her mind, 'He made wings out of wax so he could fly...but when he got too close to the sun...to god...the wax melted and he crashed to the ground...'
