As the train started it's Journey to Lior. Edward, Bendy, Alphonse, and Boris looked for their train room. They eventually found their room and once they got settled in the room, Edward asked "So what's the map for?" Bendy sat down on the couch and replied "It is to help us find the Ink Machine pieces." "How come a few people can see it?" Asked Alphonse. "We're not sure. Maybe the angel that gave us the map used some magic on it." Said Boris. (Just to clarify, Magic does exist in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood because it's one of the three major parts of Alchemy. In this fanfic, Inklets are more connected to magic than Humans are. I would like to also clarify that I will not go too bizarre with the capabilities of magic in this fanfic)

"Like what Inklet Sorcerers or sorceresses use?" Asked Alphonse. "It's possible." Replied Bendy as he shrugged his shoulders. 'Although I do wonder why Edward is able to see the map.' Bendy thought to himself. "Quick question, by Ink Machine, do you mean the device that can cure the Inkness?" Asked Edward. Both Bendy and Boris were shocked by the fact that Edward knew about the Ink Machine. "Uh, ya. How do you know about the Legend of the Ink Machine?" Asked Boris. "I read about it in a book that was about the Philosopher's Stone, which is what we are looking for." Explained Edward. "Isn't that the same stone that is known to amplify alchemic reaction?" Asked Bendy. Edward nodded with little surprise. "You don't seem to be surprised that Bendy knows about the Stone Ed. Are the Ink Machine and the Philosopher's Stone closely related?" Asked Alphonse. "Yes. Although there's little to no information on why." Replied Edward. Boris was shocked to hear this as he asked: "Really?"

"Surprisingly they are. However, why are you guys after the Stone?" Questioned Bendy. "It's better to show you then to explain. Al take off your helmet." Edward requested. Alphonse looked at his brother as he asked "Are you sure about this brother?" Edward nodded as Alphonse eventually took off his helmet to show the Cromwells that his armor was empty inside. As Boris' eyes started to widen, Bendy started to put the pieces together of what has happened to the Elrics. "H-how is th-that possible?" Boris questioned with a bit of fear in his voice. "Don't tell me that you guys did what I think you guys did." Bendy requested. Edward sighed as he replied "If you're thinking that we tried to use alchemy to bring someone back from the dead, then I can't help you there." Alphonse then put his helmet back on as he asked "Why are you guys after the Ink Machine pieces?" Bendy then started to rub the back of his neck as he said uncomfortably "Well, uh, I have the Inkness."

"The deadly disease that effects only Inklets?" Asked Edward. Bendy nodded as Boris regained his composer. "So you guys are looking for the Philosopher's Stone, hoping that you can use it to restore your guys' bodies?" Asked Boris. "That about sums it up." Replied Edward. That's when the train had come to a stop as the train's conductor said through the train's Loudspeakers "Welcome to the City of Lior, Home of Letoism."
